Anyone missing Android Nougat Preview 5 on Nexus 6P?

[eric002]

Has anyone received developer preview 5 yet? I'm still waiting for mine.

I have not. I think the last one came about 4 or 5 days after the system image downloads were available. I expect it between now and Friday.

Yea, hopefully mine will be coming very shortly.

Re: Developer preview 5

I was reading over on the XDA forums that there may have been an issue with preview 5 on the 6p and that's why we are not seeing it. Preview 4 runs great for me so I'd rather wait than have a bunch of issues.

I have side loaded the preview 5 on both my Nexus 6P and my Pixel C. Everything works very well. I do not have any issues at all.

Mmm that's interesting well I mean preview 4 does work well, I just like always staying as up to date as I Can. The one thing I'll admit I do miss from preview 3 is the auto clearing of the of the quick reply message from the notification shade whereas in preview 4 you still have to Swype it away. Now, I know not a huge deal breaker of course, just wanted to mention it again.

That's good to hear. I'm sure it doesn't effect everyone, but I'd rather wait a few days. We are already fortunate enough to be using the preview so I'm not that impatient.

That's true I suppose. I mean like I said, everything is working perfectly on my one no, so I've got no complaints. I heard that in the final build, Google was suppose to redesign the home button to Google colors.

I don't have it on my 6P, 5X, 6 and Pixel C all received it.

I also sideloaded it on my 6P and it is working well.

I installed the factory image, it's working fine.

Arrived on 6P about 25 minutes ago.

How did you sideload it into your phone?in the past I've just had to do ota update just like everyone else has done.

 

[migdier]

Haven't received it yet and I'd rather wait for the OTA update than flash the image. Preview4 has been very smooth and bug free for me.

I just expect to be dead last in receiving these

You can download the OTA zip and flash it through ADB without unlocking the bootloader.

 

[eric002]

I'll admit though that I've never done that before though.

Get the image here

It says it'll wipe all data from. Device. Doing the regular ota download doesn't do that.

OTA zips are here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html

These will not wipe the device and can be pushed through ADB without unlocking the bootloader.
