I don't know if everyone did receive the update yet or not. But I am still waiting..
Any feedback? is this normal?
I feel like owning a Samsung device at this moment with regards to timely updates.
Nothing here (Belgium, unlocked pixel 2 panda 64 gb from the UK) either so far...
Updating to play services beta didn’t help either.

Samsung and timely updates, what? I mean my last device from samsung was the S4, but timely updates wasn't really something they did. If they did any updates at all.
Same here Panda 64 Eastern US. I went ahead and unlocked and flashed to Feb last night. Impatience ?
For what it's worth I have a black pixel 2 xl and hadn't received the Feb update either, so I went ahead and unlocked and flashed the update myself

To be fair, I've been using a Galaxy S7 edge (Exynos model) for the last 2 years before getting my Pixel 2 XL, and Samsung has been pretty fast and reliable with security updates. Samsung isn't perfect but I think they're getting better, yet we tend to blame them when carriers are the culprit in reality. Most of the time, the updated Samsung firmware exists and is available but carriers take weeks, if not months, to push it.
I have the Verizon version of the 64GB Panda Pixel 2 XL and got the update 3 or 4 days ago. I'm enrolled in the beta program though so maybe that makes a difference.
Try that:
1. Turn airplane on
2. Clear data of google service framework
3. Turn airplane off and check the update in settings.
That was what I did to get the update.

No luck here with that workaround...
I am in the UK and my 2 XL never gets OTA until around 25th of the month, so I have to update using the OTA sideload. Other half's Pixel 2 doesn't get it until around the 25th as well.
US Pixel 2 XL here, still no update.
Pixel 2XL - Spain. No update.
if you feel you need it that badly, sideload the update.
Short of that, find the google play services beta and install that as it enables the update button to actually call for the update now.

My xl 2 was ordered from the UK, so that might explain the February update not coming through yet.
I use it in Belgium though and the January update only came a couple of days after the official release. Weird hickups in the Google update system?
This https://www.droid-life.com/2018/02/06/google-play-services-12209-pixel-2-xl-update/ worked for me:good:
Update: I was already on the google play service beta program but I sideloaded the apk for GPS v12.2.09.

Just wanted to let anyone on the Verizon variant to start looking. My phone is currently downloading the update as we speak. The update was originally only for the S6 and S6 Edge on Verizon with no release date for the Edge+. I am receiving it OTA.

Wish I had better luck with my update. Mine keeps getting an error 402 when I try to install the update. I tried to use the Verizon software upgrade assistant software but it keeps saying my phone is updated already.
I am having the same error 402 problem. I have tried clearing the cache, factory reset, updating via the upgrade assistant, etc. No luck so far on anything I have tried.
I have been talking with Verizon support all day but still no luck. I will post back if I find a solution.
Is there a reason firmware files are impossible to find for this model? I'm using mine on at&t and can't upgrade the normal way so I'm guessing my only shot would be to borrow someone's Verizon sim card. Was hoping Smart Switch would trigger the upgrade like it has in the past.

First time poster. Anyone having issues with doze not working on this variant? Getting 10-20% drain nightly. Was having mediaserver keep it awake draining 30%. After finding and uninstalling the app causing that Gsam showing hish usage by the system. Doze have never turned on since downloading update. And I too had the download problems on the OTA. First attempt took 4 hours and got to 99% and failed. Second attempt took about as long but finally worked.
Only issue I've found so far is the default gallery does not show Downloaded images, and yet when I plug the phone into my laptop I can see them in the Download directory. I had to download another gallery called QuickPic, which is a ton better than the factory gallery, and it displays everything as it should.
Other than that, I had no problems with the download or update. I downloaded OTA via WiFi on the phone itself and installation went smoothly. Battery life is significantly better with its default "snooze" mode it goes into when the phone is idle for a period of time.

Oh, and OneDrive doesn't seem to be working. It's not syncing images like it was on KitKat. I tried Refreshing it to no avail. Gonna' try to reinstall it. Google Drive works perfectly fine, though.

An uninstall and reinstall fixed that sync issue.
Update Marshmallow G928V
I brought s6 edge plus (SM-G928V) Verizon unlocked phone and I am using T mobile connection on phone.
So the problem is : My phone doesn't show any marshmallow update. I think, its because of T mobile sim .Since, i am not using Verizon connection.
I tried to update the phone with samsung smart switch. When i connect the phone with SMart switch, it does show the Marshmallow update but when i click on update it nothing happens.
I searched for Verizon marshmallow FirmWare link for s6 edge plus, but i could not find any ?
Could you please sent me link so that i can update with Odin or is there any other way to update it.
Just some help
Heya folks, I bought a sparkling new Verizon galaxy s6 edge plus at a lucrative price of USD 350. It's unlocked and I'll be using in India I just bought it because of the sale price.
Now do I understand that Verizon version has locked bootloader and no root at all. Will they give bootloader anytime in the future? Also does one need a Verizon Sim card for getting updates? I'll be using in India how will I get updates then? Anyone else who has bought unlocked version pls help me. Cheers folks thanks a ton.

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.

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....

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 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.

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).

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.
I have and always have had my Play Store app settings to manual update, but I've just woken up to find the setting has changed to update over wifi and every app updated. The update happened 5 hours ago, but I went to bed 7 hours ago.
How the hell did this change?! I haven't even opened the Play Store for two or three days, so there's no way I could've changed the settings by accident. The only app I've updated in the last week is the camera and did that via an apkmirror download to get the new version as mine hadn't updated since May 2018 for some reason...
Because Google has ultimate control over your phone and can add /remove apps at their discretion.
Most likely you experienced a security update.
Either that or the latest Google Play Store that just came out. Just turn it off and it'll probably start off again. I prefer on because I love updates. LOL

I've noticed that this setting changes occasionally when the Play Store updates itself. I don't think the Play Store itself can be set to manual update.
