I have BQ E5 with OTA-3, but don't yet see any update available. Will it take time to appear? I have Stable channel selected.

@talkless It's on the way might just be taking its time getting to your device and channel. If you go to the About section in system settings, there's a check for updates button there try that.

@lakotaubp Wow! Impressed with the new Morph Browser. Speedy one. Thanks Ubports.

Lakotaubp

@stefano Those behind the development will be pleased to hear that.

Stefano

@lakotaubp Convergence mode , wifi, mobile data works fine on Pro 5 connected to a TV screen with MicrosoftDisplayAdapter_3f. Morph Browser works like a charm.
Definitely an improvement. Thanks for the great effort guys!

@stefano Thanks again for another big up for the developers! Haven't they all done well !! Great work.

No, no update yet.

@talkless It's on a five day roll out and was at about 40% last night. So it will get to you shortly.

I'm still new to Touch with two phones, Nexus 4 and OPO. Is this OTA something all phones with Touch will be getting. Does it require a sim card being installed or is WiFi sufficient? Thanks to all the smart folks working to keep Touch viable !!!!

@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.

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.

Lakotaubp

@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.

aenima

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

Lakotaubp

@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..

guru

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