Hello. I just received a new OTA, dav-703lc233b212_b229. I thought the b212 was the last one. Anybody else?
Received it this morning, haven't installed it yet.
anyone dares/wants to try out? /p8max
Last update f-uped my phone..
Seems to work
The last update broke all Google apps. Nonetheless I gave this one a go this morning. So far so good, android 6 with Dec 2018 update. An update that worked was long overdue!
Not noticed any differences yet, nothing appears to be broken
cool :good::highfive:
but whats better now? its not an android version upgrade,,just UI fixes? How could the phone go up on android os version?
Thanks!
Ditto.
Received, did not install, maybe never will, based on the last negative experience mentioned above/below.
but still interested if anyone installs it

Is the update still OK? It is nagging me to install but I don't want to degrade the phone like last time.

Just wondering if anyone else that was on the HD update have not got the new HE update... Ive been checking since it came out and my wifes phone got the HE update but mine has yet to get it? It keeps telling me that theres no new update..
Updates are sent out in segments, not everyone gets them at the same time and can take a few weeks or more to get to everyone.

I had a problem getting the updates. I had to go back to factory and wait at least a day and a half before I got the update. So, if you been rooted before it migt just take a day or so before you get it. I hope this make sense.

I have been trying to update my wife's bone stock S6 to Marshmallow today. When I check for updates, it shows that it is available. I tell it to download and I immediately get an "update failed to download". It does it on both wifi and lte. I've tried rebooting. Does anyone know what causes this error or how I can get the update installed? Is the update file out there to download it so I could do a manual flash?
Same issue. Very annoying.
same
Having the same problem with my s6 but my wifes s6 edge updated with no problems
Same issue here. Tried through the desktop updater as well but no update was found.
I really hope this isn't some April fools joke. Because it's doing the same thing for me.
Update has been pulled.
Apparently the update has been pulled.
This is From Verizon support:
"We have had a couple other customers chat in with the same issue (in the past 10 minutes) and we did confirm with Samsung that the Marshmallow update is on hold right now because of some bug fixes. They do not have an estimated time for the release of the update yet but once it is known it will become public."
We've been had. Jokes on is! Good one, Samsung assholes!
This is pure bull ****. Same problem here, update unsuccessful. Just great. 20 months later and I still can't get it, bad enough I can't root... wah.
They'll probably take another few months to release it again. Google really needs to put pressure on the providers to release these updates quicker.
Scratch that. About a half hour after my comment above, the update is downloading.
Was getting the same error. I just powered my phone off then turned it back on. Update screen popped up and it's downloading now.
Yep. I'm on Marshmallow now.
I was able to update just now as well.
Updated here as well.

This if ****ing retarded. Ive downloaded like 10 times and it fails between 1-30% every ****ing time. WTF!!!
I just noticed that I am on the April 2nd Security patch. I wonder if those that updated yesterday are showing a different patch level. Was there actually a bug that Verizon was able to pull, fix, and re-release in only hours? That has to be a record.
Anyone know where I can find the odin files for this?

I had same experience two weeks ago. It seems you have latest OS version now.
Also keep in mind that APPs updates may still occur.
Build PQ1A.190105.045
I'm on Sprint, and never got the March update. It is letting me download the April update

Didn't believe at first lol had to check thx.
If you look at Essential's builds page you'll notice that there is not a Sprint version of the March update. I suspect that Sprint would not approve / accept / allow the updates. I'm hopeful that the April update will fix the Bluetooth issues introduced by the Jan or Feb update. I've also experienced significant loss of signal strength since the Jan and Feb updates, which I believe are tied to the modem security patches in those updates, and I'm hoping April fixes that as well. If not, I'll be downgrading back to December's update. I have LITERALLY gone from "bulletproof" data connections all over my City to routinely losing data connection, and my average speeds at home and work have dropped significantly. I know it's the build and not the network because I have another PH1 on Sprint that has none of these issues after being downgraded to the last Oreo build...
Edited to add: The April update is taking much longer to install than the monthly updates normally do. It took over 30 minutes to complete the app upgrade process today. Fingers crossed that this means there are some big fixes under the hood.

Uodate: after installing the April update and rebooting once to get a fully "clean slate", I ran Speedtest... WOW!
So, good news and bad news for me, and likely anyone on Sprint. When I ran speed tests last Friday (same app, same location, same phone, on the February Pie update) I was getting download speeds of about 12mbps and upload speeds of about 10mbps on average. After the April uppdate I am now getting download speeds averaging around 75 to 80 Mbps (!!!!!!!!!), but my upload speeds have dropped to an average of about 2.5mbps....
So, whatever the April update contained has helped and hurt. Now, to see if it has fixed my intermittent Bluetooth problems... Fingers crossed.
The speed test at the very bottom was last Friday. Everything else above it is today, after installing the April update.
Yes, upgrade (74MB) installed & working, but took forever to optimise the apps, I was sweating a little since I'm in Australia & can't send phone back to Essential if major issue.
Update includes improvements to minimum brightness & volume which is good ... especially if you like to use your phone in the middle of the night without waking your beloved! ?
Note that for Sprint users the file size (if received OTA) is about 96mb (approx, my recollection may be slightly off). My wife's is on AT&T and I noticed the size difference when updating her phone. Hers also seemed to optimize apps a lot faster than my Sprint PH1. It would appear that Sprint bundled something else in with the update (BT / modem fixes? March's Android security patches that we missed? Who knows...)

Essential sure is quick. I do like the phone.
April has the digital wellbeing settings from the March update.

Can't shutdown with April '19 update
When I tried to shut the phone off to swap SIMs with my other phone, the PH-1 got to the part where it bumps the vibrator and hung vibrating for 2-3 seconds and then re-booted. Argh! Bluetooth is still borked... I have to shut off Bluetooth and restart before my Jabra 65t's will connect and even then it's iffy.
That's weird. No shutdown problems like that with mine. I've not noticed any Bluetooth problems either yet (but don't really know what I'm looking for with that, last build seemed to work OK for me too, I only use Bluetooth for pairing headphones)
And as usual I still don't have any of these weird problems. Oh well maybe the next one.
I had to go back to the original slot.
The new update breaks WiFi and data.

....and LED notification still not working....so sad
Hmm my led flashes blue when I get a notification. My wifi and Bluetooth work just fine. Is this with bone stock or rooted and fettled devices?

It's stock but rooted with Magisk (no TWRP), just happened since Jan update, it was ok last year.
Someone said it's hardware related, maybe true....but if I go back either Oreo or early Pie then no problem.
The max volume is quiter than before..
Anyone else has this issue?

Any time you have an issue and are rooted and running apps or software that fettles things I would say the best test of is it software or hardware is to flash back to stock unrooted and see what's what.

Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately, I did flash back to stock without rooting, and still had no LED notification.
To be honest, it only shows up one time after fresh stock ROM flash, and never show up again.
There's no LED notification when missing phone call, SMS/MMS, but......the LED is blink ONLY when I have voice mail waiting....that's pull my hair off.
I heard that they pulled back the 10.3.10 update and I hadn't received it too but now I'm recieving the update and was wondering if it's worth it? Is it ladded with issues like the previous one?

Yes, i also read that they pulled it back due to issues,
My bad, i updated my phone immediately i received the update (probably a week ago).
Yes it has few issues (atleast for me) which annoys me sometimes, but its manageable.
Recommend not to update.
