Me too

Download the July OTA from Google and sideload it using ADB. Directions on how to do it are on the page I just linked to.

I know I can but why OTA doesn't come?

Ask Google. But really, does it matter why when you have the ability to fix the problem?

Because is strange that a brand new device stopped updating. But I know, a solution is a solution.

Not that strange. The rollout of OTAs if I recall is staged. It's possible you're one of the last to get it, or other issues such as network quality could affect it. The only people who would know for certain is Google. I couldn't tell you myself because I download the full OTA every month: I'm rooted and incremental OTAs cause issues.

thanx

i have already contacted google twice

And what did they say? I bet they didn't mention the OTA images mentioned upthread, and I bet you've not taken advantage of it to actually get yourself updated. That of course is your call, but complaining won't get your phone updated any faster.

ok

sorry to hear.but i dont agree with flashing or side load an update

It's a perfectly viable solution, but you're only disagreeing because it isn't the answer you wanted to hear. I don't know who on this forum can give you the answer you want, especially if Google couldn't.
I'm outta here.

Install a VPN, and try checking for an update. It worked once for me.
The VPN was Set to UK I think, If not USA.

True but that should only take like 2 weeks at the MOST. It should never take until after the next update is out. There have been two updates released since then. We are less than 2 weeks away from the August update.

System Update IMM76Q: VZN Galaxy Nexus

I received an OTA software update with build number IMM76Q. Has anyone else received it?
Get us a logcat before installing please.
945kb...

Yeah. 949 kb is tinyyyyy. I can't believe Verizon would be this quick about an update Google has been working on for a week and released a day or two ago! But no..... a somewhat major software revision has to take 2 months. I realize the fact that it is only a very, very small update, and it doesn't change any major software/radio stuff... but still. You know what would be cool? If verizon pushed out software updates (i.e 4.0.4, 4.1) clean at first, then follow up with a second update on the radios.

Did you manage to get the file name for us yet?
If you've already installed it, the easiest way would be to look through the log files in /cache with a text viewer and look for a file name ending in .zip.
Thanks!
Wierd, even verizons support site doesn't have this update listed. http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/galaxynexus.html. Normally they list the update a few days before roll out on that site. Unless they really had to rush to get around the ban. Curious what's in this update, or if its real.

Yeah, i know thats what it probably is. Verizon just always puts out a pdf on the support sites of their phones no matter how minuscule the update is. Like one that turned off the initial 4g free tethering last year said something like "enables 4g tethering plans" or something like that. Oh you tricky VZ...

Definitely very weird that VZW wouldn't have updated the support PDFs. They update those things religiously when there's an OTA.
I hope this IMM76Q update isn't another IMM30B where someone accidentally pushes it to a few devices, shuts it off, and it fades into the ether, leaving anyone who applied the update stranded.

Technically, the updates come from Google. Since this update has nothing to do with aspects that would be specific to carrier use they probably didn't involve Verizon in this one.

As far as I'm aware, that's not an option. I believe VZW has to test and approve every single OTA that goes out to a phone on their network, regardless of how small or whether there is anything carrier-specific in it.
Apple is the lone exception to this rule. Verizon lets them do whatever the hell they want with the iPhone and iPad.
I spoke to a verizon tech rep this week---he said there was an update pending and suggested it was more about a radio fix. However, I'd take that with a grain of salt

Nexus 5X OTA Update Delay?

Since the phone was released, there has been three updates to the OS. I got the first one out of the box like most, but the following two have not graced my device.
Has anyone else gotten the OTA's for these builds?
I find it interesting on which devices get certain waves of the rollout of these OTA's.
Thanks!

Those are not regional updates.
The original, the first post-release, and then the November security update. Not sure where to account for the fourth.
I'm surprised they didn't pull the first one since flashing its radio enables Band 12.

The first one disables Band 12, along with whatever else Google wanted to change. The most recent one just released today so you'll likely be prompted for an OTA shortly, and it's a security release.
There might be a changelog somewhere but I don't have a link to it on hand,

MDA89E was ship OS
MDB08I Disabled Band 12 and whatnot when it was delivered.
MDB08L is the one in question, what was this one?
MDB08M is the newest one that is a security release, that one is the one we are waiting on right now.
So what was the MDB09L release? Is it a real thing that people got? This is not complexly aimed at you, but to ask the questions to XDA as well. x3
Probably be better to ask Google.

Are the security updates patched independently of the main software update?
I am still on MDA89E
I have just been notified to download and install MDB08L, and have done. I'm currently in London, UK - on the EE network
Just checked, no update still, i am on EE too.
Nothing here at all on O2 - still on version it shipped with on launch day [emoji14]
MDB08I here. I just checked for updates and I don't have anything available yet.

Weird thing was, i went into system update, clicked the check now button/link and it said no updates available. Then went back to the launcher homepage and within 10 seconds i got the notification to download and install... maybe try that?
wow I don't have any updates besides the one it shipped with and when I check for updates it says I'm up to date. weird.

I have one straight from Google. Funny thing though, I checked for updates and got a "welcome to your new nexus 5x email"

November Security Patch

Has anyone gotten this yet? I see that a couple of Samsung phones from T-Mobile have updated. I thought the Google phones would be the first ones to get these.
Also curious because I heard the back and forth about who was handling updates (Verizon for my VZW model, or straight from Google). So, I was curious if you guys with Google store models have seen this update yet?

November security updates haven't been posted on the Google Dev site yet (https://developers.google.com/android/ota). They'll be there before they start pushing via OTA.
Regarding Samsung, I think that their "November" security update contains the bug fixes that Google pushed to Nexus/Pixel in October.
Arriving today according to Verizon.
http://www.droid-life.com/2016/11/07/verizon-pixel-xl-update-bluetooth-wifi-calling-november/
Security patches by Google are always released on the first Monday of the month. For November, the first Monday is today and as you can see on developers.google.com/android/images, the images are now available.

Answered in another thread but, it looks like they're different security patch levels.
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/index.html
11/1, 11/5, and 11/6. Although after I flashed build X, it shows 11/5 security level so I'm not entirely sure what's up with that.
No OTA yet for my Verizon XL 128gb.

Yeah I used the google flash-all method which wipes userdata but whatever I don't care about that and I'm still unlocked.
Updated via adb sideload from P ---> X.
Unlocked on Verizon went smooth without a hitch. Just to confirm also.

If you update your Google Play services to version 10.0.84 (440) and use the update menu in the settings the OTA will appear. :highfive:

This worked. Thanks! Why is step 2 of 2 taking an hour? Says installing update but my phone is booted. I've never seen this. Especially with such a small update.
When I look at Google play services to update it, both the disable button and force stop are greyed. I see no way to update the app. Any suggestions?

General January update has dropped.

Full OTA's and full images are available. There is currently only one version. Nothing specific for US carriers.
Verizon one is November. I only see one full image and one OTA

Consolidating the images is expected at some point. Question is did they consolidate or have the just not yet posted the others.

Looks like I can try it. Mine starts with SQ1D.
didn't fix my WiFi 6 connection issue(s).
Great isn't it in that US Pixels are mostly ok yet they focus on updates for them while elsewhere like in Europe its freezing and cutting out

We don't know which area this release is targeted at, we are guessing. Possible guesses:
1) It is for US and EU
2) It is for EU, US to follow later
3) It is for US, EU to follow later.
My guess is 1.
Normally, I'd be all over this, but with such a vague listing, I'll wait it out a little.
Well at this rate my P6P will be on eBay soon, can't be doing with much more freezing and bad signal
Is this the same update that I've just received which is about 41.3mb?

Question July Update?

Anyone know when the July Update is coming (for P6P)?
I have issues with dropping signal, so was kinda hoping there might be a fix there.

The update will come when the update comes. Be patient.
And be grateful that Pixel devices enjoy monthly updates like this. Most OEMs can't be bothered to provide an update twice a year, much less once a month.

Up to June update I didn't had any problems. Like you it, it ruined my Pixel experience... Updated to July, and will run it for a couple of days and see how it goes. Need to travel for work.
Downloading the update now. If you started to have cell problems with the June update then I suggest a FULL wipe for the July update. The full wipe for June solved my cell problems. I have not seen an "!" in over a week!
Has anyone seen the release notes for the July update?

Nah you won't brick anything with switching between Global/EMEA.
But it might cause some troubles. E.g. I always imagined the ppl with network connectivity issues might just be on the wrong build. But I have no idea so far.
