Hello,
I own Defy from week. Many times I tried to check via System Update in Settings if there is any update for my phone. After pressing "System updates"i can see info "Checking for available updates. Please wait..." and few seconds later window pop-up saying "Checking for updates is currently not available. Try again later"
For me it sounds like there is problem for mobile to connect with server with updates. Do you experience anything like this? If my firmware is up-to-date I would expect little bit different info.
Connection is established via WIFI, I tried check updates via GSM - the same effect.
Phone soft is not branded, no simlock, works in Polish Orange
Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions
BTW
Is there any other way to perform update check? It seems not possible from PC but maybe I missed something.
I agree, the answer isn't crystal clear, anyway I don't think there is any available update yet, not until android 2.2

Thanks for answer. I'm not hoping to get Froyo quickly, rather update that will add missing Advanced Settings in camera options I mentioned in another post.
Regards
Yes, I've seen the other post and I must admit that I'm curious too about the missing camera settings.

"Checking for updates is currently not available. Try again later" = Motorola's OTA server is down?
I'm happy that I'm not the only one ;] In meantime I reset to factory settings to check if this will solve missing Advanced Settings in camera menu and System updates but it didn't help.
I'm new to the HTC One section -- visiting to check on an issue for my son who just got his One a month ago. Apologies if this has already been discussed in another thread -- I searched and didn't see anything about this.
My son noticed that there's now a persistent notification (on the notification shade, of course) that indicates that Device Manager is running. I've never seen this on my other devices with Android Device Manager running -- not on my LG G2, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X's (wife and daughter), Nexus 7's or Nexus 10. Just on the HTC One, and just in the last day or so (probably right after a recent update).
The notification can't be swiped away, and I don't see any options in the app itself to turn notifications on/off. We'd really like to be able to turn this off if possible.
Any ideas / suggestions most appreciated.

I had this issue when I manually updated to the latest 4.3 OTA .. If thats what happened here then this worked for me:
Go to settings
Software Update
Check new
It should ask to install update, say "Install Now"
That should fail, because you are already on the latest OTA

Thanks! Worked perfectly. :good:
Does anyone know if there is a way to manually update the AFTV?
The new update is availlable for download at http://www.aftvnews.com/software/
Thx
No. All you can do to speed up the update is to keep checking for system updates by clicking on the setting. The past three updates have taken six days each before it would let me update. Just click where it says check for system updates and it will either show the last time you checked or say there is an update. Do it a few times a day and it will let you know when its available, but like I said, it always takes my device six days from the first release to get updated so be patient. Clicking the setting over and over will not speed it up either so just check periodically and if its available for your device, it will tell you. My update should be ready in about three days so I guess I will have to wait for it too.
Thx
Sucks, i thought there was a way to update using the bin file. this wait doesnt make sense.
I am in Kentucky in the US and as I ssaid it always takes six days for me to recieve the update after its first released so its probably gonna be a couple days, which isn't much longer to wait. It was released on the 24th so I should have it on the 30th.
I have an unlocked phone running 4.6.4. Just received an alert about new update, will wait until get home to get it via wi-fi. Anyone?
Does Someone that has received the update, knows what's new in this latest FireOS 4.6.5 Update or has noticed something better than with the 4.6.3 ?
someone said new OS update V4.6.5. Tried to refresh several times it's still 4.6.4. Fire Phone At&t unlock. Any get update?

only difference so far i have seen that now google play store and services working fine now on new 4.6.5. which wasnt on 4.6.4
Installed GP after 465, seems to work fine. Owner for 3 days, still learn my way around.
I spoke with some developers at Amazon and was informed that this update fixes issues with texts not being received and something else but forgot. No new features.
I just installed GP after updating to 4.6.5. Everything seems to be working

Thanks for letting us know what's new in this update!
I am the owner of 2 Fire Phones (Unlocked), that currently have FireOS 4.6.3 (463001620)...
But, I have noticed that although amazon has released yesterday this Newer version 4.6.5, I can not find it to manually download, and install on my Fire Phones:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201607550*
Does anyone knows and have the download link where I can get this latest 4 6.5 update ?
That's how every update gets rolled out. First wave OTA, if nothing happens in the first ~ 48h and everybody is happy, they will publish the official download link soon after that.
A thoughtful person could have uploaded the file before installing the update, but it's not that urgent.
Does it mess with root?
I tried to update manually to 4.6.5 but I got a msg "Your system is up to date!"
What should I do to get the update?
That's what I was saying before...
That although amazon has released this Newer version several days ago, if I try to update to 4.6.5, I always get the same message:
"Your system is up to date!"*
And unfortunately I can not find where manually download this 4.6.5 file, because at the Amazon help site the only version available is still 4.6.3 !
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...eId=201607550
Does anyone have the download link where I can get this latest 4.6.5 update file ?
I'm stuck at 4.6.3 LOL.
Only new apps update from Amazon.
Anyone got the new update yet ? will it effect Google Store ?
Hi, does anyone know when fire OS 5 will be available for the fire phones??

This is the question of 2015
Unfortunately, every time I and other users of Fire Phones, we've asked to Amazon Customer Service, simply say they do not know anything about it !!
So, Amazon does not deny, but neither confirms, if there will be or not FireOS-5 for the Fire Phone...
However, since amazon has already released the FireOS-5 to their FireTV Today and also to their Newest Fire Tablets, I think and also hope that they are also going to release it to all their Fire Phones Soon !
To tell you the truth , I am pretty happy with the current OS and I would think of few things to be fixed in it
1. Quick action screen needs to have more options (Auto-rotate on/off is a must) instead of going to settings to do every time.
2. I am ok with carousel, but it would be nice to have the option to turn it on and off and to actually control my home screen a bit more.
3. Contacts, Dialer and SMS apps needs to be updated to something better as they are from the stone age.
4. Mail app should have (select all) option
5. Lock screen to have pattern option !
6. Having the ability assign a song as a ringtone
7. Built in play to (Chromecast or Apple TV) would be a plus specially for the Prime video apps
8. Give us Android underground !
9. Enhance the cloud apps ( look at Apple photos for inspiration) , the Apple photo app is almost flawless and the sync between devices is out standing.
10. Give me the ability to sync my itunes music library and playlists to my Fire Phone
I sincerely love my Fire phone (even a bit more) than what I loved my iPhone 5s, I will do my best to hang in there for 1 year and if we don't get things done then ill put it in the outdated gadgets drawer and get an iPhone 7 when its out.
I think there may be a v5 and maybe sooner than we think as two games I have called xenowerk and space marshals have updates which say fire os 5 compatibility. Make of that what you will.
Totally satisfied with 11.2.9.9 and wish to disable updates for good-ish. I did this on my Pixel 3XL and needed to jump through some hoops to stop the insistent nag pop up but got it done with help from XDA good guys. Like the Pixel, the notification does not allow to be silenced or disabled so need to dig deeper. I don't want to delete or uninstall the updater service but am open to freezing it if that won't cause any other issues. I'm rooted of course. Help would be appreciated, Thanks
I'm not sure turning down the already sporadic security patches released for Android phones is a good idea to start with, refusing them while rooted is an even worse plan.

That would be reasonable if the betas weren't explicitly opt-in. Blocking consumer release updates is an entirely different kettle of fish.

Nailed it Mr Vision -
My phone is 90% de-googled so my biggest security risk has been neutralized.
I usually freeze the update service app in between updates to avoid the nagging while I'm waiting on a full zip to be released, or if it's just an inconvenient time for me to mess with it. It has never caused any issues other than the obvious: if you try to select System Update from Settings while frozen it will force close. Just unfreeze the update service when you're ready to update.
That said, I'm in agreement with other folks who say not taking security updates on a rooted device "ever" is generally a bad idea. New kernel exploits are discovered all the time, and plenty of core system packages have the potential for vulnerabilities.

I would keep my phone updated but the ColorOS 12 update pretty much ruined the perfect experience. I'll update in a few months. Hopefully, they'll fix all the issues by then.

Yes thanks for the reminder this is possible. I went ahead and froze com.oneplus.opbackup. My setup is safely locked in until I decide it needs to be changed!
Maybe some folks from this thread will see my thread lol and rethink the early adopter or as I like to call it, guinea pig strategy.
12 "Stable" Issues Thread
Besides the general low quality of this piece of software, here are some specific pains: 1. SafetyNet test fails (no root) - WTF? Can't use any of my work applications because of that. 2. Status bar notification icons don't appear (except for...

Just use a package disabler, a ADB edit or if your rooted you have even more apps to block OTA updates.
Security in real life isn't an issue with Android 9 or higher unless you do something stupid. This stock N10+ has been running on Android 9 for over 2 years with no updates.
The current OS load is over 1.5 yo, still fast, stable with minimum maintenance. I take a few precautions especially with app installations and downloads. Android 9 and higher are reasonably secure even if Google claims otherwise.
So enjoy your current platform for as long as you want. Don't let updates break your phone... they sure as hell can and do.
Redundantly backup all critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Time stagger backups to them incrementally as an added precaution. Have a plan in place for password resets and bank accounts (which are insured from fraud anyway).
In the case of malware if you can't completely isolate and delete it within an hour or two, go full nuke and reload. It takes far less time to reload then it does to attempt to optimize and adapt to a new OS version.
Fools leave in fear, pragmatists live within reality.
Don't ever update to Android 12 then. Remember, you have been warned. No matter what, stay on Oxygen 11
@blackhawk - Yeah I really like App Manager does all you say plus a whole lot more.
@giaur
Both you guys, EXACTLY! Ran Android 9 for 3 years on my rooted Pixel 3XL, no updates past 9/19 no issues no regrets.
11.2.10.10 is safe. But I dont update to A12 soon.
You can disable the updates very easy.
1st: Settings -> System -> System Updates -> Top right the gear -> Disable Auto download over Wifi
2nd: Settings -> System -> Dev. Options -> Disable "Automatic system updates"

See the thing is this doesn't stop the random often reoccurring pop-up nag that prompts to download the update. The fear there is the potential for an accidental tap. I don't want the giant update file hanging out on my phone ready to spring into gear at the slightest wrong move on my part. Maybe the tap would be interpreted by the phone as an overide to the 'disable' option selected in Dev Options. Don't know, don't want to find out.
Then use a fire wall and allow apps you want. I never got a update notification since I have the phone. I always updated it by myself.

Yes goofy to quote myself but wanted to post an update that sadly this only worked for about a month then the nags returned even though the com.oneplus.opbackup service was frozen. Getting the system update nags every other day after they stopped for a month. Gotta figure this out, I'm sure that sinister google has their hand in this someway!
