Re: Cannot update to March

Are you actually seeing the update? If not, be patient. It's a staged rollout.

OK.... There were a couple of recent updates... MMB29V was the first one, the security update that everyone jumped on.

Then the N Preview dropped and everyone went "SQUIRREL!!!" and went and paid attention to that. But soon after N dropped, another image popped up, MHC19I. Now, some things to note about this one... First, the build name. It isn't in line with the MMB29 builds that we were on since the 6.0.1 first dropped. Those other builds were mostly security fixes, etc... Now, the name preface changed to MHC19... which is the same as the 'big' update to the 5X builds as well.

The bootloader and radios were updated to the newer version that we saw in the N Preview.... THIS is the update that Franco is referring to. So I'm curious how things shake out to be honest. Unlike the 5X, I can't really point to any performance/stability/anything issues on the 6P... thing runs great, rarely has a FC, nevermind a reboot. Things like the camera are fast (I can get from screen off to taking a focused pic in a tick under 1.5s). So I wonder how they'd make an already great running phone run greater...

We'll see... I'm booting as we speak.

If this fixes bluetooth and the AT&T bug that constantly switches the phone back to "H" instead of "LTE" I'll be gladly grabbing one of these phones again ASAP!

Only bug I want fixed is the LTE issue

I can vouch that the MHC build has performance improvements. Little things, like how fluid the keyboard is, window transitions, scrolling , etc.

The stock kernel has a nominal improvement in power usage.. Less used when active... Guessing maybe a 10% ish reduction. Hard to say without a lot more time.

Anyone on AT&T seeing better LTE connectivity? Any dropping back to HSPA?

Installed the update yesterday. The only minor thing that happened is that bluetooth wouldn't connect to my car, headphones or Moto360. I had to delete the phone from each of those devices and re-pair.

Anyone else experience this?

Not received the update yet? EE in the UK. Any info would be helpful.

I haven't got the March update yet either on the 6p
I'm guessing , I will get the OTA next week

I got mine this morning. The phone does feel a bit snappier. That could be a result of having to reboot it for the update. I didn't have any issue with my BT headphones after installing the update.

You could always adb sideload the latest MHC19I OTA. Here's a link to all the 6P OTA's...

I'm also still waiting.... But this short wait IS FAAAAAR better than what we'd experience on any other BloatBrick. I don't mind waiting, I just get excited sometimes, lol....

I am still waiting for it on my 6P and Nexus 7 2013 tablet. I hope it fixes Bluetooth texting in my car.

Astute observation... Here we are, wondering why some of us are still waiting for an update...

A week later...
