AT&T G4 Just Updated Software By Itself - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm sitting here, and out of nowhere my G4 boots into a blue software update screen without my consent. Is that supposed to happen? No idea what's in the update but I figured by default, you would get a notification and then have to tell it to update.
Anyone else get this today?

Yep. Mine just did the same thing.

I hope it doesn't allow ota's when custom recovery is on the sys instead of stock or..

I did manually update mine last night. I don't know if it would have auto-updated if I left it alone.

Yikes. This is probably the 6th thread on this "issue."

Can someone check to see if rolling back to KK would be an option after the update?
Maybe someone who doesn't care about root try for the rest of us who are waiting for a root miracle...
still waiting for lollipop!
lollipop update is not yet available for non at&t users via odin.
I am not believing that no body can upload it for us!!

Yep I had the same happen to me also. Had to take the phone apart and let it air out in front of a fan. By the way anybody encounter any bugs in today's update?

Updated last night. Phone got pretty hot. I was having a kind of increased battery drain since 5.0, but this seems to have taken care of it, as far as I can tell from just this morning.
To those who are experiencing the hotter than normal phones, are you using the supplied Fast Charger?
Mine is dead after charging overnight. When I picked it up this morning it was very hot, but couldn't get any response out of it. Taking it to a ATT Device Support Center to try and get a warranty replacement. This was the first time I had charged my phone after installing the update yesterday afternoon.
Maybe a chance the small update screwed with the fast charging somehow?
These updates are becoming more and more of a headache. I really wish they would stop just shoving these things out here before being throughly tested. And if they don't, at least they could unlock the bootloader. I'd take it from there.
I actually haven't had too much of an issue. Android system seems to be taking up less battery than before which is nice. Just to make sure I did a factory reset, cleared cache and installed everything fresh. So far battery life seems the same as before.
My battery life is better but won't know for sure until several days. I see android system taking way less %, actually android also.

Can someone test the call forwarding settings?
Phone app > Settings > more settings > call forwarding
I'm interested in seeing if the 'SIM or network error' is still happening after that update. I updated to the 5.0.1 and it broke forwarding, and thus my gear S...so I rolled back to kitkat last night and it's happy again.
My heartrate sensor keeps lighting up on its own after the update.

Unfortunately it's still showing "Network or SIM error". It wasn't fixed with the OC4/5.0.1 update.
Not really a big deal but did this happen to any one else after the update?

Happened once when going from KK to Lollipop. It eventually came back a week later.

[Q] T-Mobile G4 (H811) No prompt system update

After reading about the no prompt system update on the AT&T model yesterday evening, I awoke this morning to my phone automatically rebooting and installing a system update of its own. Anyone else having this problem yet?
Yea, mine updated right as I was about to watch a show on netflix. It was about 1:30AM. I dont know what changed.
I can't even force a manual update.
Yeah mine did also. What was the update for?
Mine also updated (on T-Mobile) a couple hours ago. Not sure what it fixes, but fingers crossed that it fixes the WiFi issues I'm having as well as some other folks.

Another update M6E69B 05 August 2016

Here is another update to M6E69B
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../ea3f22cafa01264ded185bdec71b42821cec2c59.zip
I have no idea what it fixes / enhances / solves. I just got the update notice on my watch and grabbed it.
edit - I cannot see anything new other than the version. Sounds, watchfaces, installed apps, all the same. Let's hope the bugs are fixed, especially bluetooth drops.
Updated to it too. Can't spot any diffrences.
Someone on Reddit says it is a security update. Nothing else shows on Google Search.

Was hoping this update fixed the pairing issue on Nexus 4 phones, so I installed your latest ROM update, but it still fails to pair.
Received the update and installed automatically instantly. Haven't noticed anything different and I still can't seem to answer whatsapp calls anymore over bluetooth.
This was working before the last 1.5 update.
I have not gotten any update. Does it really take this long?

Tell me about it!!!! I'm still on "June" update, since I got the watch in July. I've been waiting for the OTA and it never comes. Is there a trick? I go to about>check for updates and its always "up to date". I have my "wifi" going to sleep after 3hrs. The thing always on the puck/charger overnight at 100% battery. But these OTA never happen. Looks like I've already missed the "July" update, and will probably have to get that before the "august" update....
What are you guys doing ??? Other than sideloading via adb....

i'm am also still at june update but got the notification of the update so when I am at home, I will charge my watch above 40% and hopefully it will be the august update.
Done the update: it now mentions july but no august yet
1.5 update can no longer make calls, battery life terrible!
I just updated last night and now I can no longer make calls, and the battery life is terrible!
"Voice Calling Info. Service not available, please try again later."
If the call does go through I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me?

yes, it takes a while. I received mine just a view minutes ago.
That is why I posted this in the spirit of "share on XDA", so you don't have to wait. :highfive:

No where has I seen that Huawei does monthly updates on any device. This was a patch for bluetooth, wifi, and security from comments I have found and searching. Older versions never even mentioned the security patch data. I do see better BT range and few BT dropouts, battery is the same. I don't do calls on the watch but use my BT headset for that.
Got the update today. Yep, it looks like it doesn't come at the same time for everyone. Thanks guys.

I got my update earlier today and hope this helps my BT dropouts too! I have suspected that my BT headset dropouts might be related to my watch, so we shall see.

I think I may have found the issue. My Google play services looks to be way out of date. I've updated it on my phone, but it doesn't transfer to my watch? I tried updating it from the watch directly
about > version> google play services it says "checking for updates" but doesn't update it? Help!

No reason to be sad that you got security patches. With everything that's been going on, I want my phone as secure as possible. I'm glad Samsung and Verizon are basically doing a monthly patch of the S7 line. Shows they want to keep the phones secure.
I'm getting wierd page redraw issues with Nova launcher since this update

Does the July security update fix the slow to wake up issue introduced in June?

Still on May update, never upgraded to June because of this issue. Does the July update fix it?

Has anyone pulled the update by manually clicking "Check for Updates"? I have hit it multiple times throughout the day as recently as 15 minutes ago and still saying I'm up to date on June. Is this busted again?

I just looked around some more online and found others complaining of the same thing. Perhaps it's working for some but definitely not all. Just hit it again, still nothing.
Hate to hijack the thread, but this is as good a place as any to ask this really simple question of mine:
How do I update to the latest July patch if I'm still on stock May, but rooted with Magisk & Xposed enabled? I'm assuming I can just flash the full factory image zip with fastboot (disabling -w to avoid wipe) and just making sure to remove Magisk/Xposed before hand.

Yeah you can for sure do that when you flash the factory image it will remove magisk and xposed for u.

Thank you for the confirmation. I assumed it would do that, but I'll probably do it myself to make sure nothing goes wrong in the flashing process.
Still slow after July update.

I tried to report the issue to google chat support but those people are useless outside of processing RMAs. 2 different reps told me the update isn't out yet bc it's dated the 5th and had no idea hitting the check for updates button overrides the staged rollout. Ugh.. I reported the issue on the pixel community board so let's see if that gets any traction.

I side loaded it using ADB. For some reason, it takes several days for the update to get to me in June (when prior updates worked after running "check for update").
I think delay is still present in july build as confimred by some users, so i will stay with May Build till now(waiting for fix).
I am still waiting for the July updates....

Exactly the same here, thats so odd.. I wonder what is the cause of this, cuz some people got it pretty much instantly when Google released the update.
