wonder when well see some updated roms

it can take up to 3 weeks to get an update once google starts. within 3 weeks is what google promises.

Newest nexus device = last device to get the update it needs and has needed since it's botched release. Gj googs

Guess it's time to turn back on the webpage update add on for the factory image pages. I mostly just want to try a new modem.

People say this, but I don't really have any problems. Everything works. I just want to see if I can get some better reception in a few spots, but really it's very minor.

Yeah I really don't have to many issues either I was just being snide. I do think it burns too much battery while sitting idle with screen off though. I shouldn't be losing 5 to 10 percent battery overnight. Mind you my overnights are 6 to 7 hours usually.

Main issue I want fixed is the sound issues then all will be fine for me.

Everyone calm down, it's not in aosp yet

and all i want is just a stock deodex rom =/

so what is new besides the HD voice and device protection ?

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

Still think were waiting on an official change log from google. Here's some 5.1 changes that have been posted: http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/android-5-1-feature-spotlight/

I hope google fixed the increasing tone (or allowed to disable it)

Looks like factory images dropped for the N5 and N10, but nothing yet for Shamu

The 2012 Nexus 7 also got some love.

shamu takes more time for some reason, its usually later than the rest

It is being pushed to aosp now: https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/lollipop-mr1-release
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-5-1-lollipop-source-code-to-aosp-right-now/

The system images are live for the nexus 4&5. But not the nexus 6 as per usual.
Why is the 6 slower to update? Is it done chronologically?

5.1 Could Begin Today
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-51-updates-nexus-5-could-begin-today-t-mo-docs-suggest

23.11.39.quark

Looks like another update is around the corner:

Its available for download now.
Edit-checked with VZW tier 2 tech support and they have no idea what this even is or what's in it.

I wonder if this has something to do with the soak test invite I got last night. It looks like the update is available to everyone, so that doesn't really make sense, but who knows.

Yeah, checking for updates list it, but no idea what it is. The update is 24.8mb, so it's not like 5.1.1.

probably advanced callin gupdate

Probably a bug update to LP. Anyone find out how to do the multi-user shpiel?

I had the hotspot icon on the original LP update, but it only showed after you first activate your Mobile Hotspot with the provider (VZ for me)

Installing OTA now, will update if I notice anything worth sharing

I'm downloading it now to verify, but that file was uploaded 2 days ago. Didn't the update just start rolling out today?

I got the ota it helped my volume

In the upgrade.xml, there's a line that says "quark_verizon-user 5.1.1 LCF23.80 80 release-keys." That extra .1 is not a typo. Where did this file come from?

Got an update today.

Not sure if this is old news or not, but this came through today. (Attached)

Me too...just few hours ago

Any comments on the update?

Anyone know if this OJ1 update is compatible with OH7 root method (coming from OG2 5.0.2)?
TIA
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
^^^ Hmmm.... It's still just an update to stay within 5.0.2 where I am. To OJ4.

Mine is 223.99 MB

Didn't take a screenshot but mine was 1.2 GB?!
I don't know if that was because Smart Switch included the backed-up data I'd just processed?
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------
I guess that's it till sometime next year then...

Nope, still stuck on 5.0.2 here

I usually play Sims Free Play. I noticed that the UI has become tiny after the update. It's very difficult to play this game after this last update. The game doesn't have any option to increase UI's font. Also, increasing font size on tab s2 display settings does not have any effect on the game ui size.

I was on OH7 unrooted and took the 0J1 update and then used the CF autoroot OH7 method to root. Works fine.

Very bad update.
I've got mine 5 days ago, 240 smth MB's.
T-715 started to freeze if it is ON+connected to charger. Only way to restart or turn it of is to keep pressed PWR+Vol DOWN buttons
Also it is overheating without any reason, and it is restarting randomly at least 1-2 times/day.
It is not rooted, all software is legal/bought via Google Play.
Only way to charge device is to turn it off and than connect it to charger.
Battery life because of overheating - 80+C is reduced to less than 1 day.

Just got my second update for the S2 T715 4G version, the latest one is 140MB.
update: apparently it's still android 5.0.2.

I just got my S2 (T-917T from T-mobile with 5.1.1 AOG8) yesterday and not long after I got home an update popped up. I held off at the time in case it complicated gaining root, but after doing so today I just got the notification again. The build is AOJ3 and... it looks potentially sketchy. Attached is a shot of the update screen, the second point is worrisome (?) "After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy." Weak... I've never downgraded firmware, but there are occasionally legit reasons to do so.
Is anyone running this build? Any problems?

Its normal, since samsung installed knox on their phones and tab, downgrade is not possible, through the normal way, or procedures.

Just seems a bit... hypocritical on Samsung and/or the carrier's parts. It's atypical, but sometimes a new build is just a total dud. But it's not unheard of for an "upgrade" to cause things like increased battery usage, excess heat, performance issues, app compatibility, sporadic boot loops. "New" security policy: no flashing back to the build that you were enjoying 2 weeks ago. A new build that addresses these issues will be out "soon".
I'm just really curious about the rational of insisting that you remain on a build that makes you hate your $$$ phone and also what the other mentioned "security policy" changes are baked into the new build because if they further (attempt to) restrict how I'm allowed to use the device that I own... I don't particularly care for that! Also, who knows how long one'll be stranded on a crappy build. It seems that Samsung should be spending their time ensuring that, at least, all of their flagship devices are receiving regular/timely updates rather than adding new policies that are particularly disadvantageous for power users who tend to buy those devices.

Its NOT normal. It has always been possible to downgrade regardless of KNOX with an unlocked bootloader.
So called security updates that state that you will not be able to downgrade are bad, and usually mean one thing a bootloader update. Bootloader updates like this often lead to locked bootloaders, its happened before on Samsung devices. Locked bootloader means, no root, no custom recovery and no roms.
I'd stay away from this update until more is known about it. It may be possible to update without the bootloader.

Fingerprint sensor stops working randomly

So this just started happening very recently. It won't recognize that I'm touching the fingerprint scanner if my phone's screen has been off for X amount of time. No vibration, nothing to indicate that it realizes I'm touching it. Even when I turn on the screen to look at the lockscreen, it still won't detect my finger. After I unlock using my pattern, then lock again, it'll detect my finger when trying to unlock again. But if I let it sit for a bit with the screen off, it'll stop working again - almost as if it forgets to keep the fingerprint sensor on when it enters doze mode.
I thought it might be an issue with MHC19I, but I've had that update for almost a week now, and I hadn't seen this issue happen until today. And I don't see anyone else complaining about it recently.
It could also be due to a recent app upgrade, maybe? The list of apps that upgraded before I first noticed this issue are:
Chrome Beta, letgo, Robinhood (uses fingerprint sensor), TurboTax
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? The Google rep wanted me to boot into safe mode, but I'm hesitant to do that due to this bug - it's happened to me before on this phone - or to do a factory reset, which is ridiculous.

I am experiencing the same thing. Exactly. On march build

Same thing here. Started yesterday as well. I also had Robinhood update yesterday. In looking at the app reviews, it is breaking the nexus imprint for the 6P & 5X. Just deleted the app and rebooted the phone. Will update if this fixes it.

Misery loves company, I guess. Glad I'm not alone. I disabled all my xposed modules and the issue still persists. Maybe it's due to a recent update for an app.
Do either of you guys have any of these apps installed? Let's see if we can narrow it down.
Edit: Yeah, it's probably Robinhood.

Deleting the Robinhood app and rebooting seems to have fixed my issues!!

Add me to the list. Just removed robinhood (before finding this thread) and haven't had the problem since. Thanks OP for the perfect description of said problem, as those were my exact symptoms as well. Problem started on the evening of the 17th... been pulling my hair out ever since. Even reinstalled the latest factory images (without wiping). I was so worried it was a hardware issue... glad it's not!

Hi All,
I'm an Android developer for Robinhood. Very sorry for the issue! We'd noticed it ourselves, but it took a while for us to realize that our own app was the cause. We have a fix ready to go out to the beta users on Monday. If you guys are interested in joining the beta, you can do so here: play.google.com/apps/testing/com.robinhood.android
Again very sorry for the trouble!

I'm on a replacement model and have the display scaling feature still. I wonder if it's something they changed for the older models.

The green battery Icon is disgusting. Can it be hidden without root?

I got the update as well, green battery icon or more distinguished battery icon....also when I hold down the power button to turn it off it now has a battery percentage along eith power off reset and what not, not sure if that is nes or not the added battery life on power hold that is.
