OTA-5 Is Here !!

mawil1013 · 16 Oct 2018, 21:04

@mawil1013 All supported devices will get the OTA. It is being rolled out and should be done by tomorrow I believe (Weds). The OTA will be over wifi or data its up to you so no sim required. Keep checking, by using system settings either About there a check for button there or in updates.

Ahh, sweeet!

Hi

i have a meizu pro 5 with OTA 3 (stable chanel) and still no updates for OTA 5. Is it mandatory to use wifi?
Because wifi uses 4G at my home (and quite far from antenna, but it's the best way to have internet at home ) so i would prefer use the data conection of my phone with a really better connexion when i'm not in my home.

@aenima You can use both as long as you have allowed downloads over any connection in system settings. Also you can change to the dev update channel update your system then you should get the option to move to 16.04 from there.
OTA -5 should complete roll out today anyway. Also try check for updates in the About section if system settings.

ok thanks, i'll see if today i can upgrade it in stable channel (i would prefer to stay in stable ).

Lakotaubp · 17 Oct 2018, 09:06

@aenima you can always move back from dev to stable using the same method should have added that bit.

Have other bq e5 hd, at this time, been notified of the possibility of update OTA 3 STABLE / OTA 5 STABLE ?

Not arrived yet. Normal ? I know about the five days but..

Same here (E4.5 with r3), the five days are over and nothing is announced in System --> About --> Check for updates.

Lakotaubp · 18 Oct 2018, 05:17

@guru Try going to the dev channel updating then see what happens if you've not done that.

This device is my daily driver for calls, tg and Internet (hotspot). I think, I should not risk this procedure.

Hi

well the OTA 5 is still not available, so i switch to dev channel, update twice to finally have the version 192. And i switch back to stable channel ... so a "new" version is avalaible ... but it's version 3 and not 5! I don't want to come back to 3. If i switch to Candidate channel, i have the version 17 proposed, but i don't know if it's the candidate for OTA 5 or OTA 4. So i finally guess that OTA 5 is still not available for me ...

Can it be device or country related? i have a pro5 and i'm in France ..

Lakotaubp · 18 Oct 2018, 06:17

@aenima quick check if the only browser you have is Morph browser you have ota 5. Once you have OTA-5 younshould only get stable, RC and dev versions of OTA-5

To avoid this sort of confusion in the future the above two topics are in open discussion. Please have a read and comment if you haven't already.

aenima · 18 Oct 2018, 06:44

that doesn't help me ... why i have a version 192 ? It's the only number i have concerning the version of ubunut touch. If i go in About section, i see that i'm on 16.04, but no other versionning ... In fact it doesn't matter for me the versionning of dev channel, i just want to come back to stable channel in OTA 5.

The only browser i have now is Morph browser, so i'm on OTA 5 with dev channel. And if i switch to stable channel, it proposes me the version 3, but it was the number i had when i was on OTA 3 (which makes sense here ...). So does it mean that in stable channel it wants me to go back to OTA3 or not?

I begin to regret to have switch to dev ...

Lakotaubp · 18 Oct 2018, 06:55

@aenima If you swop to stable you will get 16.04 with ota-5 stable version. The number are the version numbers for that channel. Dev channel is,updated everyday so has a higher number, stable the lowest, rc in between. If you read the thread in the above links this will be explined and why itneeds clearing up.

aenima · 18 Oct 2018, 06:55

ok i did the update to version 3 and i'm still with OTA 5, but in stable channel now.
i hope it will be clearer in the future

Thanks for your help.

Lakotaubp · 18 Oct 2018, 06:56

@aenima Glad it's sorted

A Former User · 18 Oct 2018, 07:47

@lakotaubp I'm on the dev channel - v. 654 this morning - but I think that's still OTA-4 too. At least, I've had nothing suggesting that it's OTA-5...

Lakotaubp · 18 Oct 2018, 07:55

@3arn0wl Only having Morph browser is the main one and the new community sounds and backgrounds are others.

A Former User · 18 Oct 2018, 07:56

Ahhh! Then I do have it.

THANK YOU, @lakotaubp.

And THANK YOU devs.

Lakotaubp · 18 Oct 2018, 08:26

@3arn0wl Have fun. New sounds ! New backgrounds and the small thing to do with development bounding forward ; )
