Nvidia god damn Shield tablet lte at&t

So, Nvidia has final re released marshmallow for k1, thanks to at&t tho, the lte model still hasn't been pushed through. What the hell at&t? So I have to do a bunch of crap to get the update unofficially, (root, unlock bootloader etc.) I feel like I shouldn't have to do all this just to receive an update that should have been here already. The only reason this makes me angry it's because my Shield tablet is having touch screen issues out of nowhere and I'm hoping the new marshmallow update will fix this. I swear, I'm never getting a carrier branded device ever again. Looks like I should have gotten the pixel c.

Apply for the US LTE Developer Vulcan 6.0.1 and get the update within a few days - done
It works better than 6.0 too..

Yep, I used Personal and N/A for company and url when applying and got approved without issues. Update applies with TWRP, and latest SuperSU beta seems to be working great.

What kills me is the original LTE wasn't a "carrier branded" device. It was sold unlocked LTE yet ATT bloatware comes as standard and after it is enabled can not be disabled! My non rooted stock 6.0.1 can no longer SMS after the 4.1 update, I have no relationship with ATT as I use an mvno. My text and data plan had been working flawlessly til now! Are you folks able to SMS on the 4.1 update?

At&t Bixby Voice early beta happening?

Has anyone received an email back or actually have early access to Bixby yet? Read somewhere that AT&T S 8 users haven't received access after signing up to the invite . Anyone?

I think not. But is not wort it. I have friend with T-Mobile and he sing in. Bixby is very slow to respond. Google Assistant is 10 time faster and better. then bixby. I hope they final release will have lot of improvements.

Samsung apps are updated . Your probably right about not getting it until launch

bixby is the worst failure since i owned my note 7s.

Did anyone get Bixby voice outside beta testing? as stated above should have been released on 28th..

Phone Connection Slow?

I've Google all of the reported issues of the Pixel and didn't see anyone complaining about this. When I make or receive a phone call, it takes about 10-20 seconds from the time we answer the phone to the time we can hear each other /talk. Anybody else having this issue?

Not sure what network you're on but I'm working closely with Verizon and Google on my LTE connection. I am getting my third RMA device on Tuesday. Also, if you are on Verizon, not sure if you have a Google or Verizon P2 - that may be a factor as well, as I'm finding out with my Google P2.

My Google version pixel 2 on Verizon is fine.

I'm on Verizon and using a Verizon P2. Wish I had the Google version so I can manipulate software and see if a different radio/rom/hack would fix it.
I'm beginning to think it has something to do with HD calling. I received 2 calls over the weekend which worked fine (no long connection time). This morning my wife calls and it took 15+ seconds before we could hear each other. It was so slow that she hung up the first time and called back. This morning I distinctly remembered seeing HD calling on the phone as I answered. The next time someone calls I'll make note if it says HD or not.

Anyone get the new 8.1 beta 2 update? I'm on 8.0 with the November security update so I'm not eligible for the beta 1 update. I read that the beta 2 was just released but still no update even though I've unregistered and re-registered a half dozen times.
I'm hoping an update would fix this issue. If not I'll end up replacing this phone or going back to my Pixel 1.
I also navigated today for the first time and that was a horrible experience. The phone didn't move with me. The only way I could get it to update my location was to close navigation and restart it. I didn't realize this until after I'd missed my turn.

Why not just download the 8.1 DP2 firmware, remove the -w from flashall.bat script(so it doesn't wipe) and update manually?
You can dl here https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html

Why wouldn't manually updating to dp2 work on the Verizon pixel 2? Not sure if it will work with removing the - w, but with it left in I don't see what would stop it from working. You not rooting or unlocking anything... Or does it need to be Verizon firmware? You can also try removing the bootloader and radio imgs, and flash-all without those

If you read the instructions for manually flashing firmware, one of the first steps is to unlock the bootloader. Not sure why Google chose to do it that way but it won't work on a locked phone. I've tried before on a locked Pixel 1.

I feel dumb for not thinking of this earlier but I reset network connections today and it *seems* to be working fine. Time will tell.

Android P and text messages

I got my OnePlus 6 the other day and loaded the P beta. Before putting anything on it I was testing what works and found out that I was not able to be text message. I could send but not receive. When I downgraded back to 8.1 everything worked perfect. I know the beta says VoLte is broken (did not have issues making and receiving calls). Any suggestions to fix it, I bought the phone to play with P mostly. I can deal with most bugs, but I need to be able to receive text and pic messages. I am using T-Mobile and no other SIM cards.

I have a Samsung S9+. I am tired of Samsung slow updates. So I thought I would give this a try. I bought it because of faster updates and very good specs.

Nearby Share

To my surprise Nearby Share has been added and enabled on my Pixel 4 xl. USA, TMobile, Android 10

Another screenshot

Also got it on pixel 4 xl in Portugal

Yeah, I've had it for a couple of weeks now and have even used it a few times, I think it's pretty cool though not as fast as I felt like it was made out to be.

Never had it and checked this morning when I saw the news and still nothing. Just now I was looking for something else and low and behold:

My Pixel 4 XL on T- Mobile still doesn't show it

I don't have nearby share too. I'm from Poland

Weird guys, I still have it and I've had it for weeks now. That's one thing I've always sort of disliked about Google, the way they roll things out is always so spotty and can sometimes take months after the initial rollout to reach all Pixel users.

That rollout is not for all at the same time, they always rollout different things in different times.
You can enable it in the connectivity settings if it's rolled out for you

I got it when it was announced in the blogs

Any pixel owners in France get nearby share?
I didn't get anything yet.

I've had it for a few weeks now. Although I did update my Google Play Services to the latest beta version to get it then.

Nothing here. No point in running the beta since no one else will and therefore no nearby sharing to be done. I'll wait but what's the holdup?

I updated to Android 11 beta 3 last week and nearby Share is nowhere to be found

Nearby is still rolling out to devices at this point I think. That's the "Google way" unfortunately...
