[Q] Received ICS OTA, then it disappeared!!

The weirdest damn thing happened to me...I received a system update available notification (i.e. ICS) as I was going to bed. I thought I'd just do it in the morning. When I woke up, the notification was gone, and if i try to go to manually do a system update, it says device is up to date.
anyone experience such an issue, and how can I resolve this?
thanks

Same thing happened to me. I was on 3G and decided when I get home I'd use wifi to download and update. Now it says up to date.

so weird!! all other updates previously would remain for days... anyone find a solution to this yet?

Same happened to me to this morning, it disappeared

wait or
you can update ics by making manual promotion

I prefer to avoid manual for two reasons:
1- I still believe the actual OTA version varies slightly than what is claimed to be the official OTA release in zip format. Little touches are always done before pushing an OTA update.
2- I have a broken power button, so can't do much in bootloader, or even get into it.
Perhaps google took it back to do some more bug fixing. But I'd like to hear an official statement if that's the case

Please explain. I've tried:
Checkin
System Updates
Resetting phone.
Seems like the update was pulled. No matter what I do it says the phone is up to date. With all these stories of people bricking their phones I want to stay relatively legit.

Same thing. When I heard google started pushing ICS, I flashed back my nandroid backup of my stock 2.3.4 to get the OTA update, Immediately I got 2.3.6 update and installed it, and few hours later when I wasn't home I got the 4.0.3 update, and I thought I'll do it when I get home, but then it disappeared and doesn't comes back no matter what I do.
I did backup to the corrent stock (2.3.6) and tried to flash back to 2.3.4, thought maybe it will push me again, but now it doesn't push me 2.3.6 either.
Are OTA updates one-time only ? or it supposed push me 2.3.6 again ?
anyways I restored 2.3.6 and I wait hopefully to 4.0.3 again.
Please update here if you know any solution. I know I can install it manually, but I prefer clean OTA version.

after I update to ICS manually, the VPN doesnot work, so I flashed back to 2.3.6 and want to update by OTA.
but till then, the 2.3.6 system says it's up to date...

looks like it's pulled by google...hopefully for some enhancements... still waiting for something official

we had it in our hands and we lost it

Same story.
Last night I saw the system update notification and after 30' (charging the battery) I lost it.

I suppose it's due to issues with ICS 4.0.3. For example I can't make outgoing calls (SMS, incomming calls and data - works fine). Had to revert back to 2.3.6. Now everything works. So for two days i saw update notification and today it dissapeared. So I hope they found a problem and will fix it soon.

yeah, I guess I'm glad I didn't install it then. I'm sure it was pulled for a valid reason, so it's best to wait...fingers crossed that it won't be too long of a wait.
In the mean time I think I need to get my power button fixed, or hope the widgetlocker works on ICS so I can use my volume locker to wake the screen!!

Not an official story by any means but it looks like there is definitely something going on.

[Q] Lollipop, screen doesn't turn on with incoming calls

I just install the factory image for lollipop. My screen doesn't turn on when I receive incoming calls. The ring tone will play but the screen remain turned off. I want the screen to turn on automatically with the incoming call dialer like kitkat or any other android version. so I can pick up the call. Any one else with this issue? How did you fix it?

I don't have this issue. maybe you had a bad install

I have the same problem on my N4, I installed the factory image two days ago, but just today I have this problem. When I turn on the screen, the call appears as a notification on the lockscreen, and I have to double tap it to answer it

I have the same issue. I installed the OTA. I had security certificates before which forced me to use a pin lock lock screen (My exchange account requires it). I installed a MOD to remove it so I thought that might be what was causing my problem. I removed the MOD by disabling the exchange APP but it didn't resolve it.

I have the same issue on about 50% of my incoming calls

I have this same issue. I even had it on the developers version. I also thought when you got text messages, emails, and other messages. You would get a black and white notification if you moved you hand over the phone. That doesn't work for me either. i have a Nexus 5 Build LRX21O. I installed it with the Nexus Root Toolkit.

I have the same issue on my Nexus 4 side loaded with Android 5.0 Lollipop. The screen won't turn on for any interactive incoming notifications like Phone Calls, Alarm calls..
It's an annoyance as you need to double tap the notification to answer, and the only way to go to speaker phone is to answer -> unlock -> Tap speaker
I checked around and my colleagues who use a Nexus 5 don't have this issue (OTA or Sideloaded). So I think this issue could be with a Nexus 4 build only (selectively that too). I am the only one who've posted this on reddit too.
/r/nexus4/comments/2mjoz7/screen_wont_turn_on_for_incoming_phone_calls/

I can also confirm this bug ... on Nexus 5 with LRX21O.

Same problem!

I have the same problem on my G3, but i didn't even installed Lollipop yet.

Same on my Nexus 5 with LRX21O.

I am having the same problem with my nexus 4, after a clean flash..

I unlocked the bootloader which triggered a full factory-reset and this issue went away on my Nexus 4 which is smoother than before.
I wanted to download a full ROM (since the issue was with OTA update), so was doing a bootloader unlock for the same. But i didn't even have to load up the full ROM as the issue went away.. :laugh:

after i updating my nexus 5 to android 5 during call screen doesn't auto turn off when i covered the screen sensor?

I noticed this too,not on all incoming calls, but on 1 out of 3 the screen stays black.

Do try a full factory-reset guys.. It solved my issue.. This update is really large and important to have such a major annoyance and work with that.. :angel:

I made a clean install (wiped everything) and the problem appeared.
I don't think it is a matter of dirty flash..

I also have this problem after installing from ZIP stock ROM (with format all things before).
Then I took a Google image and install it with ADB.
Now I don't have this problem.

screen doesn't turn off
My screen didn't turn off during phone calls with the developer preview and still doesn't with the official factory image from Google.
This is coming from a full flash via fastboot... Don't think this is a dirty flash issue.
Very annoying... No clue how this could be released.

It appears our problems are not related but I was able to fix mine
Nexus 5
OTA Flash
screen is blank for incoming calls and alarms, not periodic
I don't know which app specifically that was causing the problem but the problem went away after I uninstalled a bunch of apps. I am most suspect of a screen brightness app I was using to make the screen more dim than the default setting.

[Q] Phone only rings for about one second and then stops.

After upgrading to lollipop, I have noticed when recieving a call that sometimes my phone will ring for about 1 second and then stop but continue to vibrate. I am not using any quick cover or anything. This doesnt happen all the time but it does happen quite often. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stock on 5.0 (i have deleted my cache partition and the problem still persists)

Are you using a custom ringtone?

No, just the stock tones. I find it happening sometimes with my SMS messages as well but not all the time.

Update: I have since unlocked my bootloader (wiped) and rooted my phone and the problem still persist. Seems like I'm not alone, I have starred this so hopefully someone can see it. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81178#makechanges
Anyone have any suggestions that I could try?

update
I had thought I had fixed the problem by re flashing the stock image of lollipop, the problem went away and my phone started to ring again but shortly its back to only vibrating. I noticed that the little vibrate symbol was popping up in the status bar whenever I received a call, even when I turned off the also vibrate for calls option. I then remembered that when I use the volume butler app and set it to my vibrate profile that symbol would also pop up. I uninstalled volume butler and everything seemed to be working fine. Next I Checked the play store for comments regarding the issue and I noticed two things: There was a recent fix "ringtone changing to silent upon first install" and it said that the app was installed onto my device and not requiring an update even though I had just uninstalled it. So I decided to open it up and it was as if I was starting the app for the first time as none of my previous data was in there for testing purposes I decided to set up the same profiles that I had before and try calling my phone and my phone rang like it should, weird. Perhaps I had two versions and that was the one that I originally uninstalled is that even possible?( I could have sworn I had updated it,as it was under the up to date app list) Regardless, I uninstalled it again and everything is still working as it should. Hoping that this was was the culprit I will continue to test my phone and see.

Vibration not working after lollipop update

First of all, hello everybody ^^
Vibration doesn't work on my Moto G since OTA update of stock kitkat to stock lollipop. Not in apps, not in google apps. Not even calls, or keyboard vibration.
I've tried every possible setting so I am pretty sure is not a settings problem.
I've read the post on how to downgrade but I am pretty lost. The process seems very complex.
Is there an easy fix to this situation?

You go to dialer and press *#*#2486#*#* , will have menu to test vibrate. If vibrate not work, mean hardware problem, not OS nor software.

Hey Chavalier
Thanks for your reply.
I can do that but is there any alternate solution available to avoid formatting my device?

Same Issue
I'm not sure what carrier that you are with or if that even has anything to do with it. But I am with T-Mobile and I initially received the update a couple of weeks ago and right after my phone updated I noticed that my messages would no longer appear on the edge screen. Everything else worked just fine except for that. I called T-Mobile and they had me do a factory reset (which always sucks). After the reset the phone worked just fine for a couple of hours then went right back to experiencing the same issue. I called in again and this time they suggested sending me another phone because it sounded like a hardware issue and she also told me that no one else in her department with the same phone had any issues with their phone after the update (how true that was or if she really even asked anyone I don't know). So I called back in yesterday and the guy suggested that I do not install the update and just bypass it (I didn't like that idea at all but I figured I would give it a try). So now the update updates on it's own and I can't even bypass it. So after a new phone, 5 factory resets and plenty of frustration I still can't receive my notifications on my edge screen.
Please someone help!!

"Hi guys. First of all, i registered specifically to tell you of this solution. It's a very frustrating problem, im not sure if it's a bug too...
Ive tried factory reset, clearing cache (all three times, though it's probably a bit useless considering I'm not rooted/flashing custom roms).
As most people realize, this works until you restart the phone or randomly in the middle of the night as the phone goes into deep sleep mode.
I've tried disabling, enabling apps to no avail.
This is the solution my friends...
Go to settings->sounds and notifications -> notifications on lock screen change to show contents.
You may need to restart the phone.
And notification is back.
Im not sure why this is the case (i have fingerprint lock enabled), but i think this is done for privacy purposes. It will be silly if you had notification hidden then it comes up on the edge screen. So when you have notification hidden, the bug is probably that ALL notification is hidden.
Let me know if this works for all of you!"
It worked for me! Hopefully it works for you too! The only drawback is now everyone can see your messages on your lock screen. But at least it's back (sort of).

Hi
I am still facing a small issue with the phonebook as if I am scrolling through the contacts for quite sometime, the screen refreshes suddenly and take me to the Homescreen. Other that this no issues at all.

Since updating my Edge 915S ota to 5.1.1 I don't get LTE connection anymore, it only shows 3g.
Can you please advise how I can get LTE/4G back?
Many thanks.
