Thanks for the heads up. That gets us up to Google's February 2018 security patches.

If I hadn't used firmware finder, I doubt if I'd have received the update to Nougat 7 either. it was only right after upgrading to EMUI 5 using firmware finder did I get a patch update from Huawei and then a few weeks ago, a second one taking me to EMUI 5.0.1 build 352 with a November 6 security...

I’m honestly not experiencing this problem. 150 mb connection, seeing 52mb’s download with bluetooth off, 43mb’s with bluetooth on. Granted, I’m not using anything high end for listening (Aukey latitude bluetooth earbuds. ), but no Netflix speed issues after watching 2 hours worth of streaming...

No, didn't install that 650 mb file. Removed the firmware finder DNS address, and after that did another check using huawei's updater which offered a small patch update, but that's it. Sorry, don't have Facebook, so don't know if that's normal. As far as Wi-Fi speeds, I'm running through a...

- Yes, I had to select register the update - I just changed the DNS address under ip settings, static, DNS 1 and used whatever firmware finder told me to add. Didn't touch the IP address. - When I went back to firmware finder, I started the download of the 2.5 GB file manually. Once it...

Sorry to hear you’re having problems. Like vividrich, I also don’t have any of the issues you are going through. I probably wouldn’t have upgraded or just waited for the OTA if I had to upgrade the way you did it. I took a shot at using the DNS update option because I thought there was a lesser...

The update checker was a non-starter for me until I used it with firmware finder and bypassed having to use a micro+SD card in order to upgrade to EMUI 5. First, I picked the 2.5gb file option within firmware finder which is basically EMUI 5, picked the get an update using dns beta option. Added...

Got a quick question about the current firmware for the U.S version of the M3. Got this M3 recently and couldn't be happier. It's just a solid product and once I got everything setup the way I wanted, I've been very impressed with pretty much everything. My question is related to the latest U.S...

Couldn’t pass on a deal for the M3 from NewEgg at $199 with thanks to dpham00 and Aljean Thein for the amazon matching price with no tax and an extra $20 off coupon. With a $25 rebate also from my credit card, that makes for an excellent $175 total cost out of pocket. Like a lot of Nexus 7...

Yes, it's brand new. Got a black 128GB Pixel XL to replace my battery failing 6P. Overnight shipping, free return shipping for the 6P and I got to keep the charger and usb-c cable from the 6P. In fact, dropped the 6P off at the post office at 10am. At 1pm, get an email in from Google saying...

They will replace it, but Nexus protect kind of clouds the issue as there's that whole out of pocket deductable cost with Nexus protect, so it seems that if Nexus protect isn't involved and all you're trying to do is replace a faulty 6P that's out of warranty, the most direct way to get a Pixel...

Yes, but I wouldn't. Went from 7.1.2 to the 8 beta in hopes of then getting the final version of 8 and big mistake; my battery life has been horrible. Don't want to start from scratch with wiping out everything and as a project-fi customer can't sideload 8 since its not recommended yet...

No update for me either. Pressing the check system update button an unhealthy amount of times and coming to terms that it makes no difference whatsoever.

The M3 is back to $300 on Amazon, but I'm holding out for an LTE model to replace my Nexus 7 LTE model. even if they're not bringing it to the U.S. AliExpress might be an option to buy the M3 LTE, but no U.S warranty and last time I checked, a 64GB LTE version was going for $440. Are we...

I found that same info from here https://www.slashgear.com/android-7-1-1-nougat-to-hit-nexus-devices-on-december-5-26465433/
