For Sprint customers, try inserting a non sprint sim. Update notification comes in within a minute. After installing reinsert sprint sim. No need for sideloading.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] avd:
Just asking. But how about no sim?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aravindsuriaraj:
Well, it didn't work for me without sim. After inserting an inactive republic wireless sim, got the update notification in like 15 seconds.

I just upgraded today morning :good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
I've been a Sprint customer since 2009. I don't have any non-Sprint sim's anymore (my last one was a full-size AT&T sim from my HTC Wizard that I can't find). I hope Essential was serious about posting their OTA delta files when they said it during their last AMA.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] aravindsuriaraj:
Borrow from friends or relatives as a temporary need or maybe check if any provider gives free sim card.. i got a FreedomPop sim for 1 cent with free shipping (remember to cancel all subscriptions and downgrade to their free plan)..
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
I have had 0 issues sideloading while on Sprint adb sideload works just fine. Install the adb drivers, install the sdk, plug in, boot to recovery, run the command, and boom you're updated.

You don't need another sim.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Poxie:
How did you sideload the January update? I still don't see it on the Essential website under current builds.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
They're available here too so maybe from there? https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
I am on Oreo beta 3, but if there is a link to a stock build somewhere. You can sideload it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Grep_The_Truth:
Those are full system dumps that send you back to stock like a factory reset. That's completely different than an OTA update that you can sideload.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
Just trying to gauge rate/actuality of this occurring. I haven't yet received an update OTA since getting my Pixel 2 mid October. I finally sideloaded the Dec update, but am intent on waiting to see if the January update ever comes via OTA push.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
I received the pushed OTA, though it failed since I have TWRP, Magisk, and Snoke Kernel.

If your impatient just flash the factory image or the OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
When did you get it?

And yes, I'm impatient. I'm impatient for it to work like it's supposed to. I don't want to have to sideload updates every month.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
I have two Pixel 2 phones. On the second one it came in two days ago.

Google is going to push the OTAs in batches. Other than flashing the Factory Image or OTA I don't know what to tell you other than wait?:confused:

Tap the system update button?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
Tapping update doesn't help (yet, which has been covered extensively). You answered the question, thanks.

Anyone else?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JRJ442:
Yeah I received mine. Bought from VZW. I had just flashed September to roll all the way back. Maybe that's why.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] vivekpaib:
I received the OTA in India..
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] petrus764:
Anyone captured the OTA link for the P2? As in the 40MB update, not the full OTA you can download from Googles OTA site.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
I have still not got the OTA in India..... Google should really fix this.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeppeMan:
Same here.. (from Belgium)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] iron.maaasel:
Don't get it here in Germany.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mt2020:
My wife's Nexus got it on Cricket (AT&T) my business Pixel got it on AT&T, and my Google store bought pixel2 on Verizon not available yet. This has happened to me ever since I put a Verizon simm in it, was fine on AT&T. Now I give up after 30 days of no OTA and reset phone then it comes in. a real PIA to put all the passwords and accounts back. If it isn't pushed to me by next billing cycle I'm done with Verizon. My belief is since they sell them, when you buy a phone from Google direct and it sees a Verizon simm, it hands over updating to Verizon. Verizon says no, not true, but nobody can explain why then a reboot removes the authentication for Verizon and it OTAs perfect.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
I thought maybe you were onto something, so I shut down, removed my Verizon SIM (phone was bought direct from Google), started back up, tried checking for updates a few times, still nothing, rebooted, repeat, still nothing.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] porky101:
I never got a notification to install the January security update. I restarted my phone earlier today and right when it started up I got a notification about finishing system update. Took a look in settings and apparently I now have the January security update. Looks like it downloaded/installed automatically. I am on Verizon with the Unlocked Pixel 2 from the Google Store, I am on build number OPM1.171019.013.

Not sure how this happened. I got a notification and had to manually click "Install" for the December update. Wasn't auto-updates a feature of Oreo they discussed a while back, being able update while the phone is on and when you restart it finishes the update?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Large Hadron:
At this point, half a week after release, I'd be wary of reading anything into the pattern of who has got it and who hasn't (obviously people who still haven't had previous updates are a different matter). We know that OTAs are released in batches, with very small fraction getting it in first couple of days, then larger but still small fraction, before finally rolling out generally, and it's claimed that it's random who gets it when. With the small number of (self-selecting) replies here I doubt we can make any meaningful test of whether it truly is random.

FWIW I just got it a few minutes ago (restarted and the notification popped up). UK, non-carrier model. Remarkable how long a very small update takes to install though...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeppeMan:
Just received the update! So random...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matterhorn:
I just downloaded the 48 megabyte January security patch via OTA download to my Pixel 2 purchased from Google. It took a really long time to install, like at least 30 minutes. This may be why people that sideloaded the OTA had a slow down while setup processes were running in the background, after the update my phone is just as snappy as ever.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
Got mine today, though while I happened to be on a wifi network that was identifying my location as Mountain View, as opposed to Portland where I actually am...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mt2020:
I should have said "factory refresh", not reboot. pulling simm never worked either. Yesterday it came in, FIRST TIME EVER since owning Pixel 2 on Verizon. Curious though, it NEVER notified an update was available, nor that it had downloaded one, I had simple rebooted my phone and told me installing an update. Never let me refuse it or delay it. Weird.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] atifaslam7:
Except this doesn't apply if you rooted your phone, which is the case for most of xda's pixel 2 userbase
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidisflash:
I was already rooted so I simply grabbed the latest factory images and ran the flash-all update script. Then I re-rooted by flashing Magisk 15.2 in TWRP. No issues. So far so good! I feel like two improvements have been made since the November update I was on. 1) I feel audio bass is a little more "punchy" which is good. 2) This build seems to have resolved stability issues when connecting to Android Auto in my car.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fedway:
I thought that the "Check for update" button was now supposed to do something. I have not yet received the January OTA on my Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Large Hadron:
The "check for update" button was promised to be fixed in the future, but that wasn't included in the December update.

I don't know whether the January update includes this, though I've not seen anything that says it does.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 53fireman:
Nothing here yet, and I've received the last updates rather quickly... Weird.

Stock on AT&T
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Swiss Cheese:
Nothing yet for my stock T-Mobile Pixel 2

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DurhamHusker:

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 32BitWhore:
Stock 2XL on Verizon. Girlfriend got hers last week, I haven't gotten mine still...
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matterhorn:
I was on the December Security patch. I received my January OTA after using the "Update" button in settings, so it must do something.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fadelight:
Still no joy for me.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] TinoQ:
Is this a bug or has Google pulled back the update?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Large Hadron:
Or it was a coincidence. Many people on the same patch (including myself) found it had no effect whatsoever. And Google's statement about fixing it said that it wasn't in the December release.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 302skinny:
Pixel 2 on VZW no January Security Patch.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] linkisoc:
UK, unlocked. Still no January OTA :(
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matterhorn:
Perhaps, however in my experience with security updates, the button never does work unless the update is just about to be dispatched to the device. It comes when it comes.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 302skinny:
I finally gave up waiting for the January Security Patch. I Unenrolled from the Android Beta Program which wiped my device and found that there was a Android Software Update available. Running latest update now and enrolled again on Beta Program.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] volcanomed:
Hi everybody. Sorry for my limited English. I just bought an mate 10 pro BLA-L29 and tried recording audio with smule's sing karaokes applications. Audio quality is very poor :( however i tried, with headphones or directly with smartphone's internal microphones. Nothing change.

I had ASUS zenfone 3 deluxe and everything was perfect. Anybody have the same problem?

Or the settings?

Thanks everyones
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tr1cky1:
That's a problem you cannot fix on your own.

The Kirin 970 inside the phone uses the AI to "enhance" audio recordings.

If I call someone they have problems hearing me.

If however, a female uses my phone, the microphone quality is very good.

Apparently Huawei's AI for mic recordings is pretty bad when it comes to dark male voices.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] volcanomed:
Thank for your participation. You are right. I remarked that the voice is absent in some partitions when i sing with dark voice. I really appreciated the configuration of the mate 10 pro but this is unacceptable for me. ? Thanks again.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] anthropoidape:
I wonder if this is the reason my voice keeps disappearing completely when I am using my bluetooth headset microphone. It is definitely a software problem as the headset works perfectly on other devices.

Actually... ahahha I just tested it again talking in a falsetto. It works perfectly. My normal voice is just an adult male voice, not Barry White level or anything (although I do love the sexy slither of a lady snake). I guess I can start talking that way for all phone calls...

Seriously that is an absolutely unacceptable software issue, is there a fix? Is there some way to turn this "feature" off??

Edit: having used it a few times (using an app called "bluetooth headset test" and speaking at a slightly higher than natural (for me) pitch, it seems like it is improving including when I now speak in my normal voice. This is pretty weird but perhaps it is the way the AI learns. I will keep tinkering with this.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Nice_Stable:
Try another Mate10 pro, it may be a problem with the phone!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Luinwethion:
It might be a problem with the APP doesn't use the right APIs to have access to high quality recording.

You can test the audio quality by using the Huawei recorder.

The Mate has one of the best mics in a mobile phone, just behind what Nokia and LG are doing with their flagships.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
Hello fellow XDA members,

Since we Korean users don't have a specific thread for ourselves I have opened a new thread where we can discuss possibilities to make our device awesome.

Feel free to share anything related to our devices including latest security updates, ask for help and possibilities of Custom ROMs.

1) If you want to Unlock your bootloader/Install TWRP & Root F800L/K/S: DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide (Special thanks to me2151)

Note: DirtySanta only works up-to Dec 2016 security updates. However, if you still want to root then as according to runningnak3d If you have ARB 0 then it is still possible.

To find your ARB, on the keypad dial: *#LGMENU#*model#

So for example, F800L: *#LGMENU#*800#

2) Firmware List (If you get new KDZ files for our devices post links here so I can update the list):

LG F800K: F800K10e

LG F800L: F800L10e

LG F800S: F800S10e

3) Supported Custom ROMs: WETA ROMs for VS995/ H910/ US996 with F800L (If it works for F800S/K let me know I will update it)

Known reported Issues in F800L by [MENTION=1166223]karmacoma7[/MENTION]: lags when installing apps and 3G stops working (only 2G and LTE works)

Edit 1: If you happen to install DirtySanta, DO NOT install bootimage.img part it gives static screen to our devices. After installing TWRP and formatting data flash Schwifty Kernel (Works in F800L) It will install SuperSU and will give you root. (Device won't have any lags also)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
Ampicillin: I suggest for efficiency we keep all the useful stuff in the 1st post.

I am a F800L Rooted user on 10t rom.

I have flashed 10i KDZ with uppercut, used OTA to update to 10t, then used the dirtycow exploit to root.

Now there are two ways to get the latest security patch and keep root:

1) If we get a latest KDZ (Which is possible by updating with LG Bridge) we can flash only the system part of this KDZ, without boot and aboot, thus keeping root. I have tried getting updates with root, but LG Bridge says, its the latest version. ( Some kind of protection is there) Perhaps I will try later to downgrade to 10i and try to update to the latest rom to get a KDZ.

2) If LAF cracking succeeds, then we can upload our LAF image to the developer and he will extract the key for signing KDZ, so we can root latest KDZ and flash it.

Another thing: You can use WETA roms and some other roms for vs995 or h910 or us996 with the Korean versions.

I have checked myself: WETA ROM works, but lags just a tiny bit when installing apps and 3g stops working for me ( only 2g and LTE does)

Courtesy of Mr. fenrir_ac https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6c...w?usp=drivesdk

Its a file to flash to make US roms work for above mentioned devices for F800L

This guide might work for other versions of Korean phones, courtesy of the same mr. fenrir_ac

Get these 5 files from your Korean stock ROM and move it to this ROM (or any H918 ROM), under directory /system/etc/firmware

i) a530_zap.b00

ii) a530_zap.b01

iii) a530_zap.b02

iv) a530_zap.elf

v) a530_zap.mdt

After flashing the new ROM, move these files to the same directory by using the file manager in TWRP. You must mount system before moving them to the new ROM, otherwise the phone will stuck at the LG splash screen.

Another interesting thing - a restock kernel works fine with my F800L

Otherwise if you restore backup of your kernel, you will get static ( Perhaps it will work for other versions too)

One more thing, I have used a RCTD, CCMD and triton remover from our fellow developer Zacharee1 and I find its results amazing.

The device works now as a SD820 device should - no lags at all.

Can you provide a link for a Chinese discussion site for Korean models ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
[MENTION=1166223]karmacoma7[/MENTION]

It's a great idea so people don't need to dig up the entire thread. I will update the 1st post as soon as possible.

Here is the Chinese forum, They have active developments on Korean variant.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] yemkoid:
Thanks for the enlightening, using f800l still on ARB-0 I'll try and downgrade probably today to try root...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
Before you have done that. Could you run a LG bridge on your PC/MAC and try to download latest KDZ for our F800L ?

It will most probably download it, so try to find the KDZ it downloaded on your hard drive.

If you succeed, then upload the KDZ somewhere.

I will extract it, try it and if all is well - will make a guide how to keep root with the latest patch.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
Yes, Keeping our devices on latest security updates is important without losing the root. So, if anyone has any links to latest KDZ post it here. :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] paul999:
Wtf is triton anyway? I also used rctd, it seems better... Also you guy should flash the vulkan driver, is great!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] yemkoid:
Please share instructions on how to...

---------- Post added at 06:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

I'm already on 11e update. Not sure if LG bridge will download the kdz?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
[MENTION=5228837]yemkoid[/MENTION] I am also on 11e latest November 2017 patch.

Has anyone tried to root with DirtySanta being on latest security patch/update 2017? Since I assume if ARB only matters DirtySanta should work? I am on ARB -0 still.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
Please try :)

---------- Post added at 08:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

yeah, I did. one of the terminal commands from step1 just doesn't work, sabotaging the whole thing

I see. :good:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
Good news. a flashable 10t rom, found on Chinese site.

Here`s a link to GD https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yha4HUaId4tpHJHgZLEGrwO_Sy9K3GGb

The Rom is nice, but all lg apps are cut out.

You have to make a clean install, otherwise no-go.

Gapps are missing. Trying open gapps now

since LG apps are cut out, can somebody make a titanium backup of stock weather, music player and hd recorder and upload to google drive ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
I will give it a try and let you know been busy lately.

Also, off topic, my device audio seems to be having an issue. It works great in some apps when using call or recording feature. Sound is crisp and clear but in Whatsapp, certain apps and chrome browser in build video websites when I try to play any music or video sound is muddy and distorted, cannot hear anything. However, my music player works fine. What could be the issue?

I tried disabling xposed, I am using Swiftchy kernal.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
got all the apps. anyway, this Chinese rom was weird. came back to my 10t
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
Hah, Yeah Chinese ROMs are not user friendly for non Chinese users. But, at least development is still happening on F800L which is good sign for upcoming Oreo and possibilities of root for Oreo!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
not development. somebody just made an vs995 rom boot on f800l thats it.

I am watching the laf thread with crossed fingers tho.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ampicillin:
Okay, Let's wait for Oreo. We have to be able to root Oreo once it comes out.

Edit: Thanks for the Restock kernel thing. I just flashed on top of Swiftchy kernel and now my audio distortion issues in some issues completely gone. So, I guess it was a kernel issue. Also, this kernel doesn't say anything on software version just says: Kernel version 3.18.31 and it seems to have little lag when device boots up and settles after 2-3 mins. My CPU gets 99% usage upon boot up!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] karmacoma7:
you might wanna try the mk2000 for vs995 too. I liked it a lot.

Ok, so I just bought a Hermes that was listed with "software problems". It seems to have a mind of its own. It scrolls on its own or clicks in and out of options when I try to run programs or settings. Anyways, I've downgraded and upgraded with no luck.

Then, I notice that some of the soft keys are stuck. For example, I can't press "down", "endcall" and the "left selection key". Is that whats causing the phone to act weird or is it a software problem? If it's hardware, I would I go about fixing it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
sounds like a damaged digitiser i would look for spare parts as it can be exchanged without changing the whole lcd

not sure who sell it and if they ship it to where you live

i would look at expansys or google

maybe here

http://www.pdasmart.com/8925phone.htm
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] donutman:
I'm curious, if its not a hardware problem, what could the problem be?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
i say i suspect hardware as many people in the trinity forum had issues just like it

parts of the screen being "pressured" at all times and that was hardware issues
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] donutman:
Ok, so I made a video of the problems I was having. So maybe this can confirm or not that this is a hardware problem. I'm second guessing the hardware problem because the touch screen *seems* to be working fine. And the soft keys are not actually stuck, they just don't press as well as the others. I won't even touch the screen and just scroll with the dpad and I get the same problems. Anyways, I'm a noob to the Hermes so I may not know what I'm talking about :D. Here is the video clip:
