Don't side load from what I read it hasn't come for the 6p yet because of some issues that are being worked out. I haven't checked to see if they pulled the images but I would just wait for the OTA. I also read that dp5 is really laggy on the Nexus 6

I don't remember what site it was it was 4am and I was just having coffee and It came up in my Google now news feed. The post wasn't about that I read it in the comment section after the post. Also I see some people on here who did sidload it and are having problems with recovery and some apps. So personally I am going to wait till Google fixes it.

maybe they are actually trying to fix the slow-motion bug that has existed since release on 6.0. after a day or two, slow motion records very choppy. the small group of people who actually notice the bug think it will never get fixed. oh well....

I sideloaded DP5 to my 6P on Monday, and I can confirm that it's borderline disastrous. It's way slower and jankier than the last couple of preview milestones, and there's general bugginess that I didn't see in the last two builds. Additionally, I've had way more crashes than I experienced on DP3 and DP4, both of which were mostly stable. I hope the OTA delay means they are working out a few kinks, because I would hate for this to be what Google considers "near final" software.

I'm sure that is what the delay is. I was thinking it was a OTA issue but then I saw your post a a few others. This is the first android phone I have ever owned that I didn't root right out of the box. I'm too tired to do all the flashing and deal with the bugs and all that. I didn't even opt in to the dev preview till dp3. With that said all my previous experience has taught me to research before I update or install new software and wait till it is mostly bug free. This phone just works. I won't have to root it till Google stops supporting it and I have to go with cyanogenmod

Could you do us a favor and let us know if/when the OTA pops up on your device? It would be nice to compare build numbers to see if Google is preparing an updated build for release.

Me too I got mine at 12:30 pm in new York. It now says android 7.0 instead of Android n npd90g is the build number. I just finished with work so I have to test it out but so far it seems to be really good and snappy. And yes they fixed the toggle switches back to what they should be.

Google disabled the option to reply directly from lockscreen. Now everytime you want to reply you need to unlock the phone. What's the point?
