According to posts from gsmarena , techtimes and androidcentral and many more Verizon Moto Z and the Moto Z Force have been receiving OTA update for Android Nougat 7.0.
Hopefully soon we all get it as well.
Wow, so a carrier beat the OEM to the release? What did Lenovo do to Motorola?
The verizon z line has been for months before oem. So not that surprising. It had to happen sometime

It's hard to post something that doesn't exist. The reports come from, what, maybe five people? And those people haven't posted a single screenshot of the new OS except for a settings page that is easily faked. There is no update. Moto paid those people to claim that they got the update to get good press.

You should be banned for not pulling and sharing the update zip.
Considering only a small handful of people have it, I'd say it's still a soak test.

Moto is pretty serious about their confidentiality agreements when it comes to soak tests. They would ban me from future soak tests if I did that. And I like being in on soak tests. Plus, it only took them like two days to make it official and widen the rollout. You guys will have an update zip very soon I guarantee it.

Hi. Me and the other developers have been trying to get our hands on the new Android 6.0 boot.img. If anyone is running the soak test people please PM me.
Thanks

Did they actually start the soak test, or is it still the test drive?
Does it benefit you that much to have a pre release version? If you want to make roms, why wouldn't you wait until the final version of the software is released? I know that, usually, a soak is very similar to a final release (and who knows with these "test drives"), but not always. And since the 5.0 botched release caused several problems, why wouldn't you wait?
None of us got it. Unless the few people who beta-tested it not (soak tested) it.
Its against NDA so no one will bother

Well it was too prepare. They want to get a mostly stable version before they push it to the super soakers to make sure the 5.0 bricking disaster doesn't happen again. From what I have read we do NOT want them to rush things. Once it is safe the soakers will get it and then everyone. As long as it is within a month I do not mind if it means smooth and mostly bug free
I welcome the caution of Motorola. Or maybe they are already soak testing but the group members are so good they are keeping it on the DL

I can confirm the 5.0 disaster ... It was Lollipop massacre ... It happened on the Moto G (First Gen), one of the first moto device to receive the lollipop update through Soak test ... the image was leaked and people started flashing them, there were some minor bugs in the image, and whenever people tried to get to stable kitkat, or stock Rom in order to get official update their phone got permanently bricked ...
There are major changes in the Bootloader during the major android updates, so it's best to take precautions and wait patiently till someone confirms a proper procedure .
I can confirm the soak test isn't fake.
Didn't want to share this whatever.

LG-V10 updates
I just purchased the LG-V10 phone yesterday and right out of the box had issues with the volume control on music, video, games & other media. It was locked and would not let me adjust the volume up or down. I took my phone back in to the T-Mobile retail store for an analysis of what was causing this problem. It was a simple update that had rolled out after the distribution of this phone. Best place to check for updates is under settings.....general....about phone....update center. There you can check for all app and software updates provided by LG Electronics. My phone is working fine now.

There has not been a system update for this phone since its release and the only firmware version available so far is H901-10c, build LMY47V, unless the update literally came out last night and has not yet propagated.
Your volume button problem was likely a software issue which was resolved when the rep did a factory reset on the phone, or a hardware issue, such as the contacts for the button flex not properly mating with the motherboard pegs, which can be resolved by pressing the back of the phone in a specific spot.
This thread title got me so excited for no reason. Someone should change it lol.

Looks like that list was published around Oct. 6th-ish, and the V10 wasn't available until maybe the 28th? So what I'm hoping is Tmo hasn't updated that list. If I'm not mistaken, there are no other phones on that list that weren't already out by Oct. 6th? Damn I hope I'm right anyway..... They can't forget this phone, can they?

Any thoughts or ideas on when we might be seeiung a release for us?
Maybe not in a separate thread, but it was definitely noted and mentioned before in other threads. It was great to hear Essential was committed to releasing the Q for this phone. As for the timeline, I doubt anyone would be able to answer that question, other than just trying to guess. Personally, I'd be more interested in the subsequent updates after the initial release - how many and for how long...

I agree with you about the million dollar question. Essential has stated from the beginning that we could expect updates to or through Q. What exactly that means is anyone's guess?
Going with a pure hunch, I believe that we will continue to see updates for quite some time. I have nothing of substance to base this on but it would be in their best interest. I think Essential runs real close to stock AOSP so I don't think there is much coding involved.. I guess only time will tell.

It's worth noting that we got Android P on DAY 1 of the release just like the Pixel phones. My bet is we get it the same way for Q. Patience...it will happen!
We actually started on release 2 of the P beta. But that's when they allowed other devices to join the beta for the first time. I'm betting we'll get release 2 for Q as well. Only thing I'm worries about is lack of root.

No problem! I was referring to the actual release of Android P and not the beta releases. We got the actual release on Day 1 just like the Pixel phones.
Personally I don't much care to take part in the betas because I need a stable device. I spent nearly the past three years (until July of last year) on an "un-rootable" AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 5. It made me appreciate being able to count on my device to just work the way it was meant to work. For the first time since my first Android phone, the Samsung Captivate, I stayed on the stock rom and I had to admit to myself that I didn't really miss root.
Please don't think I think badly about anyone that wants to run alternative roms or root their device. Not long after I got the PH-1, I was using invisiblek's Lineage OS 15.1 unrooted until the release Android P came along. That rom plus the neutrino kernel was rock solid for me for a while!
Like pie we will get the beta on second build . (I'm guessing)
Interesting read if I'm right.

Yeah, just read about that earlier... Sounds encouraging. :good:
I messaged Essential on Twitter. To my delight I got a reply. In short no Beta for Q now but that could change in the future. Essential indicated I should stay in touch with their social posts and website. I know there was no commitment but am glad the company seems involved in the phone still and follow their social feeds.

I've installed it on my phone but unfortunately it really isn't usable now... WiFi, BT, sensors are not working there are also app incompatibility, especially with file managers. I guess we'll just have to wait for an official beta from Essential.

Well that's frustrating. I thought Treble was supposed to be more friendly than that. At one point Google said it would allow for like manufacturers such as Qualcomm to be able to use a driver update mechanism to address these sorts of hardware breakages. Like it could be a totally seamless upgrade path.

Well looks like its Google's fault at the moment. maybe because Q is still in beta. Many things are broken even for Pixel Phones.
Hi all,
I think enough time has passed for those on EE to get an update, absolutely no sign whatsoever and not entirely sure where or who will be providing the update; has any one has success updating yet?
I'm currently on 9.5.1 and system updates fail constantly.
Is there an option to root and install a custom ROM?I'd rather do that then wait for EE/Oneplus.

Is there an option to root and install a custom ROM?I'd rather do that then wait for EE/Oneplus.

I have tweeted the same question and EE responded with "The updates will come from OnePlus". I think you can flash the regular OnePlus 7 Pro ROM on the 5G variant but I think 5G functionality will be lost.

I've just had a lengthy (about 1h30m) chat to OnePlus and they were totally useless. I saved the chat history as a lot of the things were basically - reboot the phone, wipe cache and then finally erase everything; although I knew these steps would not work and I explained I had already tried that I done it anyway just to satisfy his requests.
Afterwards he pretty much said "Ah well, nothing more we can do then"
I find it hard to believe that between EE and OnePlus no body has the answer?

Mines updated to 9.5.3 on release day 30/5/19 nothing since 4g up to 9.5.7 with camera improvements yet us mugs who bought the best one going getting left behind
Sooner the exclusive deal comes to an end the better
Upgrade it to a international model and ditch EE tweaked rom

While that is a possibility, why pay more to have 5G when we'd be losing 5G functionality if we convert to an international model.

I'm still on 9.5.1 and it won't update to 9.5.3. I haven't tried the Oxygen updater; I'll give that a go!

I mean once the international 5g rom comes out you'll not lose anything then

Tried Oxygen updater and still no joy, unfortunately!
What does it say? Up to date or just update failing?.
Just failing still ?. Same error message as always
Seems to me that OnePlus has pulled the update for some reason.
Mine updated to 5.3 when I first set it up.
Not really had to many issues with mine, no ghost touches or anything. All I've had is the odd crash on nova launcher when exiting my banking app for some reason but other than that not much to complain about.
That being said I would like to see the camera updates that are being talked about in 5.7 as these are supposed to make a significant difference to the pictures.

Bloody strange... Surely if it's failing to update its defective.
I just find it hard to believe its a flagship device and know one knows what the hell is going on.

There are also people on the EE forums with the same problem.
I'm sure EE knows what's up here, but reaching the "right people" there is probably very hard.
It's a phone with essentially a "Beta" radio, using effectively "Beta towers", and I bet that they're gating the updates, carefully, based on that fact.
In time, I'm sure this will "smooth out", as 5G becomes a bit more proliferated, but right now, if you have a 5G phone, you're effectively a "Beta Tester", IMO, even IF the carrier doesn't "sell it" like that...
It's too bad they didn't abstract the builds a bit more, across the OP7, OP7 Pro (several variants), and the OP7 Pro 5G.
I bet OP will do some work here, as things evolve, to "limit" this issue. It's possible too, that they already did this, and EE "botched things", in terms of the carrier-development side, good luck figuring that out though, or getting anyone to admit it...
I returned my phone to EE as it wouldn't update (just said it was up to date, but on 9.1) and I started suffering numerous ghost touches and random crashes.
Unless Op / EE get this sorted, I suspect I'll go to 3 when they launch 5g in August

Yeah, it's a **** state of affairs. How long ago did you get the phone, on day of launch?
Oh, just as side note. I searched on Google for days for an answer and nothing came up. One search on Duck Duck Go and the second and 3rd post are full of people with the exact same problem.
Yes, I got mine on launch day. Gave it the befit of the doubt she allowed 3 days to get an update- nothing turned up and it was pretty un-useable due to the ghost touches.
That's when I told them to take it back
