Android Messenges For Web? Have yet to get the update... - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hey all, long time since i've posted.
Wondering if anyone has or has not received the update? Is there a way to force it? I still haven't gotten mine and I really want to start using it.
Thanks in advance!

I haven't seen it yet.

I have it works fine.

I received the update today it's working great

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/

is this carrier specific? I'm on straight talk and i got the update, but no option to enable it.
also i'm on stock everything oreo

Install it from apkmirror

i did receive the update from the playstore to the newest version, but i still do not have the option available

Server specific. I tried the xda fix and it didn't work

Got the update this morning.
Traveling without a computer.

I even removed and then redid the update, nothing! Not a happy camper!

Guys this is a staged rollout even once you have the update until google turns on the feature server side for you you don't get it. So chill and relax it will eventually work.

its here, i have it right now, w/o the hack

I got the notification today. Running beta 2 on Android p

[Q] still no 4.2.2 update for me

Hey there,
quick question, as i'm new to this, since this is my first android phone. so i've heard that 4.2.2 was released about a week ago. now apparently this update comes in waves, meaning that not everyone will get it at the same time. now i've got two questions about it, since i still haven't received this update:
- is this normal that you have to wait so long to get an update that's already available to a lot of people? (don't wanna do the framework trick)
- what is the purpose of that? please don't tell me, google couldn't handle the traffic when some people want to download this tiny update at the same time? oO
i'm just asking because im starting to worry if there's something wrong with my phone that makes it unable to receive system updates. i don't need the update that bad.
Yes. Don't worry.
I have a n4 ,n7 and n10. Framework worked for me 1st time with all the devices. Its very easy. Why not just do it???

Because i've read that it messes up / resets settings of certain apps.
Worked fine for me.
Clearing Google services framework from the apps section definitely works.
I haven't gotten it either. Framework worked on N10 and gnex. I'm mainly not forcing it on N4 out of curiosity of how long it will take. Yes, I'm strange but not really needing update on N4. No reboots, no butter in the update, etc.

I haven't got it either. Is that related to the country or the batch of the phone you purchased?
Still havent got it either. I dont wanna force it with the framework data delete trick, the update is nothing interesting so id like to wait and see how long it would take to recieve the OTA.

i know in canada, the updates go through service providers(if purchased from them) instead of google servers. maybe this is what is happening if you don't see the update yet?

No update for me either, but I don't mind it. Nothing major that I've read so far will force me to manually update my phone. If it doesn't come by Google I/O, then I'd worry, but by then KLP will probably be out.

I'm curious about this too. Oddly, clearing the cache from my Google Framework didn't work. I'm curious to see if battery life gets ANY better with this update.

They stagger the updates so their servers don't get overloaded with everyone trying to download the update at once. Microsoft does the same thing with Windows updates but they finish within a few days.
Canada here. My N7 took five days to get the OTA. It's been five days since the rollout began and still no OTA on my N4 yet.

System Update Available

Has anyone else been asked about installing a new system update? I'm getting prompted that the new version is 21.21.15.en.US
I'm weary, maybe there was a root exploit that they are trying to patch? No change log showed up on the phone.

Dude, the phone's been on sale for 4.5 hours. Most people are still at work. Relax.
I'm running 21.21.12 and haven't been prompted for an update.
i can almost bet that is for the VoLTE update.
Edit:
or the battery duration issues.
Glad someone got this thread going, was about to do it myself, I know we all have similar questions about it. I haven't been prompted but didn't manually check as I was going through settings, was surprised to see one waiting.

Why are you providing such limited information?
Did you hear about this from other news sites or forums? I too, have seen other people comment on blogs saying it's not the VoLTE update, but they didn't state how they knew that either. Or are you in a VoLTE market and have personally tested it?
I was having IMS issues and this update fixed it. IMS wasn't registering and texts would take around a minute for me to receive.

What's IMS?
IMS allows sms to be sent over LTE. Without IMS your texts go through the legacy network and take significantly longer to send and receive than with IMS.

You have be approved to get the update once you register. Don't know how long it takes, a friend from the Uk said it took two days but who knows, there should be a firmware update soon. Hopefully i can get my hands on it.

Yeah patiently waiting here. Ill upload the screenshots I found so people can get a hint on what to expect
Good news everyone just received the update notification, its around 1505.20mb
Make sure you keep checking your settings system update !!
Pretty sure it will be a firmware download sometime soon, if I do find one ill be sure to upload it for those who don't want to wait.
A firmware download would be great

Alright I got it to register late last night, this morning I did a manual update (saw it suggested somewhere) and I am not on Nougat, Woot if your registration is complete check for updates manually.
I was able to update guys. FYI, you have to manually update in your phones settings, not through the app.
Installed and booted. First boot was unresponsive, so restarted and everything came up fine. Had a warning about themes being incompatible, but that was it. A couple apps auto updated and we're smooth now. Developer Menu is already enabled. New notification shade is slick, but will take some configuring to make usable. Icons are way too big and notification cards are really large. Will get screenshots once I get into work.

Information - Issue & Solution- Android Pay Not working

Since I know many would come here to look for this issue and resolution as a first step, hence i am creating this thread.
Many users would see HTC U11 wont let you add cards to Android Pay, there will be a pop up saying that the phone cant be verified as it is either rooted, bootloader unlocked or running a custom rom.
It seems the Shipped ROMs are failing the SafetyNet / SecureNet Checks.
In case you are stock and this is happening, please go to to the
Settings -->About --> Software Updates--> There should be an update (bigger than) > 250 MB.​For some reason this update did not show up automatically for me, this update fixes the Android Pay issue.
UPDATE:
1.11.617.3 OTA fixed the Android Pay
1.11.617.4 OTA Breaks the Android Pay

So refrain from updating until HTC fixes it ..

Yup that is precisely the problem .. going to play store settings and checking device certification at the bottom shows as uncertified and here is another screenshot of what happens when you check for Safety net :
I can almost understand the shipping software having this issue as they just expected all phones to update with the day zero OTA during setup. How the hell is this broken again with a second update HTC?
guys google needs to approve latest version it is probably be fixed within 24 to 48 hours probably even without a need for another ota just google play service update or store update which normally happens on the background
This problem seems to have been fixed on Google server side. Android Pay works for me now.:good::good:

Anyone Having Trouble Using Textra on Their New Phone?

Nothing happens when I tap the send button. Anyone else having similar issues?
Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. A temporary workaround until a fix is produced is to enable "Send using Enter" in the settings.
Same here. I thought it was only me
Me too, I am back on the stock client for now. From what I can tell Textra needs to adjust touch placement for the notification bar. I was going to send them an email since they have been super responsive in the past... then I thought they probably hate me right now. lol
I noticed that you basically have to tap a CM(1/4") or two under what you actually want to touch. I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon once the device is in more users hands.
Ditto...also can't swipe to delete unless I increase the font size to 150% (Settings - Customize Look)
Experiencing this as well!

Understood, adb hasn't always been my friend either and definitely had some trouble with getting this one connected as well. Hopefully Textra will come out with an official update shortly. They are usually pretty good in that regard.

I couldn't stand using the Google messenger app anymore... so I spent a lot longer than I should have doing the ADB commands... I had to use an older version of the Android SDK install I had on one of my computers...lol

Still can't get the app to work. Super frustrating.

You really don't have to mess with SDK installs and all that. Just download load minimal ADB and fastboot. It's super nice for stuff like this.
