Just for info
New update to Essential Services on playstore now, 2nd October.
Anybody know what the Services are for?

Edit: Says Bug and performance fixes. Maybe firmware related?

I just got my essential phone off of swappa and it's running build "NMI75B test-keys". For some reason I am unable to update any system apps via the play store while on this build. Camera, Essential Resources, and Essential Services are all showing updates available, but every time I've tried to download them I get error code 505. I think there is something with this test build firmware that is preventing me from updating system apps via the play store. Every other app (150+) that I have installed has worked flawlessly.

NM164C is current official build I think. At least on mine.

Build NMI75B is not an official build from Essential. The device in reference from the XDA link is using incremental beta SW in test - 64C is the official release build at this time but we will be releasing another public SW update within the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Yeah I saw that thread. It doesn't explain why some phone inexplicably updated to this test keys build tho. I'm waiting to hear back from support on the matter. I just want to make sure I'm able to receive all future updates.
