Still haven't received 7.0?

I have Nexus so I can flash the image as soon as Google makes it available
Just flash the new image or side load the OTA file
 
Looks like my problem may have been leaving my N6 enrolled in the beta program. That evidently blocks public OTAs in order to allow access to beta OTAs, which the N6 is no longer eligible for.
 
I just received it and when installed, it does indeed show up as "J." It's saying it's Nougat but I was already on Nougat??

Wondering what's different with this build for at&t. What's the security patch level?

I was also on beta program. Unenroled, but no updates. Guess it might be a really long phased release
 
I'm on AT&T and just received the 7.0 Nougat update last night. Received the November security patch with it also. Haven't had the chance to play around with it yet, but I love the new notification tray.

Ran out of patience and sideloaded Nougat. It's 7.0 Dec patch.

I think Nexus 6 will not get 7.1.1.

Custom ROMs are the only hope now.

Question - since I sideloaded the update, will I have to do this for all future security updates?

Google said it's coming. Nougat was a month behind so I imagine we'll see 7.1.1 in January. Seems to be a bit more complicated for the N6.
 
Seriously, the carriers are really messing with the rollouts. For those who don't have it yet just grab the latest ota and sideload it. You won't regret it.

The official Google blog states explicitly that the 6 will get 7.1.1 even though it's not posted yet.

Agree. 7.0 has been out for a while now. Every new build is made available as soon as it's released. No need sitting around waiting for the update.

Even though the official blog says so, the factory images aren't available for 7.1.1. I've currently sideloaded 7.0 with Dec security patch.

I'm just curious as to why the OTA for 7.0 hasn't been out out. Am I alone in regards to this? It's getting close to the end of December and I haven't received it.
 
Got tired of waiting, sideloaded 7.0 with Dec security update on T-mobile. No issues.
 
Typical carrier nonsense.

Sounds good, but not really. They do some testing from their end to ensure that everything works fine. Unlike Apple, Android is fragmented and unless it's a Pixel/Nexus device, they have to test a lot to ensure that all services remain unaffected

Newsflash... We're talking about Nexus devices. We're also talking about major US carriers who are impeding the availability of Nexus OTAs. And yes, actually.
