Sorry if this is a dumb question but this if my first unlocked/non-carrier phone. I've always been with Verizon and have grown accustomed to waiting 1+ years to get updates.
I just got my N6 on Friday and the latest OS version available is 5.0.1. I'm seeing news articles all over the place going back as far as early March saying that AT&T/Tmobile customers are getting 5.1.1 OTA updates. I was under the impression when I bought my N6, that because I'm buying a non-carrier/vanilla Google variant of the phone, I'd be one of the first to receive new Android updates, and that carriers would be the ones lagging behind. Yet it seems the exact opposite.
I'm currently running build LRX22C 5.0.1 on Cricket Wireless. Should I be expecting a new update any time soon, or are we required to manually flash it or something?

I received mine from Moto on Thursday of last week. Before putting in my VZW SIM, I connected to wifi and it updated me all the way to 5.1.1(in increments of course). I think in your case, your SIM(carrier) is what's limiting you from updating. Try pulling your SIM rebooting and check for updates. If that doesnt work, you can do a factory reset and leave your SIM out, connect to wifi then see if you get the updates. Since its a Nexus, you can always manually flash the latest.:good:

Thank you. I just shut down, pulled sim, turned back on and checked for updates. Not available unfortunately, still showing 5.0.1 to be the latest.
You mentioned you just got yours on Thursday - is Motorola just now starting to roll this update out or did you just happen to get yours Thursday for whatever reason?

I ordered the phone Sat night from Moto and received it last Thurs. I had been reading through the forums here and saw several mention about how to get the phone to update to the latest version so and soon as I opened the box, I turned the hotspot on from my other phone, connected the Nexus 6 to it via wifi and all the updates started downloading(5.01, 5.1, 5.1.1). I think the updates are controlled by Google then the carriers not Moto. Try suggestion #2 if you dont mind starting from scratch
all the updates get controlled by google, after carrier approval. but, google does not promise updates asap. they promise updates within 3 weeks. being a google play device, you'd get the no carrier update only on WiFi. and with it having the Verizon sim in it, it'll get an update after Verizon approves the update.

I just went up to Best Buy and bought an unlocked N6 without service. Comes without a SIM by default. I ran straight up to a Game Stop and bought service through Cricket Wireless and got a SIM from them.
For the record, I'm not a fan of Best Buy but all online retailers I could buy it from had tax in my state, so I figured I might as well skip waiting on shipping and just buy locally.

I appears that this update being pushed to the phones if China Telecom or some other Operators. The rough order is Google releases an update. OEMs get it working on theier hardware and add there stuff to it. Then the OEMs send it to unbranded phones and/or the Operators for them to put their stuff in it and test per thier networks. Then the Carriers push an update.
My guess here is that the Chinese Operators did not care to do much testing or what they did was fine, where as I read HTC was not happy with some of the firmware in the 4.2.2 update and have slightly delayed pushing thier's out. That seems awfully scary if an Operator is rushing something out.

No demanding. Just frustrated with HTC at this point. 4.2.2 was supposed to be out mid June. It is now July. I had confidence in the ONE but I'm losing it quickly and so are some other people. No projected date, statement, acknowledgment to customers. This is why I left the EVO LTE. I had a soft spot in my heart because of the original OG Evo but it is starting to leave.

They also confirmed that it will be available on both LTE and standard 3G plans here in the UK, they will also be offering the phone on pay as you go contracts at a starting price of £230 for 16GB and £250 for 32GB. I know its not much info but it is confirmed which is nice. Should be able to get hands on with this phone very soon!

Usually I would agree but ive tried four reps now and three of the four all said the 28th, unfortunately no more comments on pricing.
Uk prices are completely false.
If it's out on the 28th in the UK, I wonder if that means it'll be out in the US sooner

Pretty true actually The nexus 5 is by far the most leaked android smartphone, with leaks from official partners and Google! Google was the first to leak the nexus 5, in there introduction video of android 4.4, which has now been removed from youtube. Later, about 2 days, KitKat's official FaceBook page added a comment on a post confirming android 4.4. Then Qualcomm confirmed some hardware specs of the Nexus 5, followed by a video of the nexus 5 running android 4.4 (also removed). And just yesterday, Google accidentally post the nexus 5 on there site, which seems a little odd
Honestly, I have a conspiracy that Google is just setting up the android world, and at the Google I/O event (Google's release party) release a totally different phone and a new android 4.4 UI:laugh:

They should not allow any more new threads to be made in this section until Google officially announces it. These confirmation threads have gotten to be a joke.

Well, maybe we read these threads because we actually think there is something to read just to find out a customer rep said so.
I'm a firm believer that VZN and LG both couldn't get figure out a method to properly secure KK. I think the final OTA will have some method to ruin someone's day. My opinion, VZN is having fits over the old bootstack booting the ROM. I also figure they wanted the root method from ioroot to try to close it as well. Talk amongst yourselves ?
I just can't buy that there was an accidental slip up by both companies. Seems they setup a situation and decompile everything the devs post.

Definitely a possible... Tho our devs have skills that border on the magical, and the power of collective knowledge is a wonderful thing haha.
But as far as VZW's predicament, I have no doubt that someone watches these forums, and curses over the extra dollars they'll have to spend on keeping their big red fingers locked tightly around our phones. As to whether it actually delays their official OTA, I'm sure they have deadlines to meet (esp. where the bloatware vendors are concerned), but it would be anyone's guess.
I'm just thrilled we have these leaks period. Even if the official OTA seals up security holes, this leak means a big boost to VS980 custom development!
The new KK leak seems odd, especially when some of its not even working correctly. I'm kinda stuck now. Device can get into Download mode but it just locks there.

Well, if we're tossing out ideas...what if it got leaked so vzw could track who has 4.4 installed? Then they can red flag the rooters.
Today, I called to get a replacement. Speaker stoped working... she asked me if it was the original one I bought. I said Ya, then asked if I traded it or rooted it. I was Like, root?

I don't really believe it, but I've seen some say VZW knows what apps you've installed. I saw a user once say they told him exactly what root apps he currently had. If that's true, some root app you've installed at some point may have flagged it. Or she was a liar. Lol. To be honest...once it was confirmed that you could downgrade and keep Loki on the other variants, I'm surprised LG didn't pull the Sprint rollout.
When the KK kernel source was "accidentally" leaked early after the devs were having problems with trying to create a zip rom from the KK leak and needed that info, that's is when my eyebrows were raised....lol. I was like, that's too much of a coincident. Somebody" was reading and listening to our cries....lmao. Nevertheless, thank you to whoever it was.

Lol, well she was definitely not lying. I didn't want to pry to much on what the issue was. Playing ignorant is sometimes the best rout but my guess is the Mac ids or sns from the day I bought the phone to now changed. She just kept saying "something is preventing me from sending you a replacement, are you sure you didn't trade phones with a friend or something?"

Serial number is hardware level. Not possible unless you actually were swapped. They don't check it until old one is sent back, which is why you are given a purchase clause on returns. I'll assume your account was a bit jacked up if she wasn't lying, otherwise, liar.
Maybe Verizon wanted to wait for the knock code update to release KK instead of releasing it and then putting out another update right away for knock code.

I don't know if it was necessarily a leak; I pulled it off their servers and published the link here one xda like a week back. It took us a few days but @xdabbeb found a way to trick our devices into taking that OTA. One thing I find suspicious is that it hasn't been taken down yet, which means it *might* be our official, it just hasn't had the green light yet. Also, the kernel source is still alive (direct link download) it just has the link removed.
Agreed. At the very least I think it was intended to be the official release. Whether they're holding off on pushing it to everyone because of a last minute issue they found or internal delays is anyone's guess. I tend to believe it's the latter.

Liar? About what lol what is there to lie about. It was just an interesting conversation that kind of applied to this thread. And by the way, when I said serial number I was referring to the IMEI which, like the mac address is supposed to be unchangeable and yet there have been cases where they changed. But like I said, I don't know what the issue was. And obviously wasn't that big of a deal because my new phone is on its way

Lol, well she was definitely not lying. I didn't want to pry to much on what the issue was. Playing ignorant is sometimes the best rout but my guess is the Mac ids or sns from the day I bought the phone to now changed. She just kept saying "something is preventing me from sending you a replacement, are you sure you didn't trade phones with a friend or something?"

When I quit working for VZW a couple years ago, the systems we used listed all the software/update/PRL version info of the software you had installed on your phone. It seemed that a lot of that info was based on the updates your phone pulled from the servers, and I never saw anything that actually indicated root status. However, they are constantly updating their capabilities so I wouldn't put it past em. I am of the opinion that most manufacturers don't check all that closely for root, at least if the phone is on a stock rom. I have never actually heard or read online of a VZW customer whose phone got rejected purely because it was rooted.

I don't think it was rooting but maybe my update status. Example, my warranty date on the phone 2/4/2014. This is located in hardware information, hardware not software. I'll assume the warranty date is assigned the day you buy your phone. Now, it's changed. Point is, if that's changed what else could have changed

I'm posting this for us sprint user's.I feel it important since we are waiting for specific band's to be enabled for spark to work.I've already installed the factory img from Google and no spark.I contacted sprint and was told it was Google working on our Sprint specific 4.4.3 update.Anyway can someone when they get the ota can you let me/us sprint user's now.Maybe I or one of us can can walk you through making it into a flash able zip.Thank you.
There is no Sprint specific OTA, everyone gets the same update regardless of what carrier they are on. The Sprint Spark update is already in the existing update, I sideloaded the OTA and it enabled the spark bands.
You're just not a Spark tower.
What are you talking about?
There is no sprint specific update.
If spark is the only concern, I've been using spark for last few months with the .15 radio.... Without 4.4.3. However if u flashed any 4.4.3 ROM u should have spark. U might not b in the spark enabled area.

If your location is Daytona Beach then no coverage for you. The closest is Orlando.

I was in Orlando today,actually almost where Tampa as well and nothing.I was under the impression the update would enable those band's.
While my buddy on his g2 gets his nice shiny icon spinning wtf.
I am running stock. 4.4.3 I side loaded when it was available.looking foward to be able to test it on my trip today.Truth is I got worse singal than before.Oh well.never mind and thanks for the replies.
Wait I beg to differ,I read from A.P on twitter Sprint will specificly be sending out a update ending 6/9 for those band's to be enabled for us less fortunate cdma user's.

Sprint says that the Nexus 5 update will be rolling out until June 9th which means that it could take a little less than a week for the 90MB update to land for Nexus 5 owners around the U.S. and around the world. Sprint also says that the update will enable Sprint Spark band 26 and band 41 for its Nexus 5 users.
I will link the page in a second.http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/06/03/nexus-5-android-4-4-3-kitkat-update-now-available/ scroll down and you will see what am talking about?

if you have root, use this to enable band 26&41, you can also set the priority.

My bands are all enabled with 4.4.3 but I had enabled them previously. You guys are saying this update is not enabling all band?
There's no specific update for Sprint. 4.4.3 and it's new radio enabled all the sprint radios.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
This update enables all bands. I know cuz I reset my data by dialing *#*#72786#*#* before taking the OTA and only band 25 was enabled. Then after the OTA all bands showed as enabled... Notice the band 41 I'm now connected to???

Priority is listed now as 1,1,1. You can change it to allow band 41 to be number 1, but you'd still most likely connect to 25.

It is the same update. Nothing carrier specific. The Sprint site says that the OTA is rolling out until June 9. So anywhere between now and then it will be released via OTA if you havent already sideloaded it. I read the tweet, it says the Nexus 5 OTA, not Sprint Nexus 5 OTA, is rolling out in batches until June 9. T-Mobile said the same thing. If you go the the Sprint support site for the Nexus 5.. same build KTU84M is listed.

Sorry but you are wrong. Sprint is just posting the OTA schedule for 4.4.3. What enables spark is the radio update included in 4.4.3. There is no way for Sprint to update that remotely since they have no control over OTA updates for Nexus 5 phones.
I have lost all ability to use Google Pay all of a sudden.
My device is running stock O2 UK firmware, is not rooted, and the bootloader is locked.
Has anyone else seen this?

You aren't the only one.
I had that problem of the device not being certified suddenly since last month. Google Pay suddenly stopped working, and I checked play store and device certification is also not certified.
I did flash the SEA firmware compared to the original firmware that came with the device, which was the HK firmware. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.
If anybody has a clue as to why, please holler! No root, no unlocked bootloader. Stock SEA firmware ROM.
@lilkidz thanks for your reply.
I reflashed the phone a few days ago, and I'm still having this issue.
I switched my firmware from O2 UK to Customised UK to see if it made a difference, but its still the same issue with Google Pay
Again, no root, no unlocked bootloader. Just a stock rom.
So I wanted to update. I have no clue what happened, but just today, when I went to check if my phone was certified or not in the Play store, it showed that it was. I didn't do anything. It just changed.
I have customized sea firmware, and payment also stopped working, in addition to payment, the nfc module does not work...
Yeah, for me, I can use Google pay again. Without notice, I checked the device certification on the play store and it happens to be certified. I was able to add my cards again to google pay.
Same here, I contacted Sony and still waiting a reply

Let's see if things changes again by themselves . Lmk if yours changes status again.

I have no problem with Google Pay the problem is you are not on your stock firmware. Return on the firmware your device shipped with and you will have no problems. Changing regions will cause this sometimes especially when switching from Asian to a European firmware

I sent it back to Sony, they flashed it back to stock xqat52, still had the same issue received OTA update 2 days later same problem still. Nothing installed left as it is. Used Xperia repair, same thing still. Safetynet cts match false.
Not rooted, bootloader not unlocked.
Fully factory reseted by Sony UK.
Google play store device not certified.
Don't know what else to do.

Thanks for your reply
@xdamanu1000 Did you ever resolve this?
My phone fixed itself, but it then went back to not working.
Coincidently, my Netflix also doesn't work so there's definitely something weird going on, that the system thinks its rooted or something.

Never got it fixed officially.
Rooted and magisk all working the way I want it now.
Sony UK wasn't going to help and since I bought it outside Europe according to them, no warranty anyway so nothing to loose..
Wish I rooted earlier!

@xdamanu1000 fair enough.
I've raised a case with Sony Support UK.
Will provide updates on here.
Failing that I'll just root the device and go down the Magisk route.
Update 1:
Sony took my case, and after a bit of diagnosis they asked me to send the phone in for repair.
I sent it on Monday to SBE UK, who sent it back after 2 days.
Their repair form said "Fault resolved" but after setting up the phone again Google Pay still doesn't work
I've called Sony back, and I have to wait 2 working days for an escalation now.
Oh boy...

Lol,
This is what happened to me too
Fault found and repaired according to their report.
All they did was factory reset and I did that before using experiwhatever software on pc.
They then asked Sony Japan for their expert help.
Waited 3 months, then asked to send handset again .
Wasn't going to wait this long..
Rooted..
Never looked back
