I really don't have an answer as to why the Joeys aren't updating. Maybe on of the vaunted Dish personnel that shows up here will have a better answer. I'd like to know it, for one thing.

I wonder if it has something to do with the HP being taken out of the mix.
The receivers use an Operating System. An APK is not an operating system, it's a package that runs in the system. There are a LOT of packages in the OS's on each receiver. So I don't know what exactly the Joey and Wireless Joey 4 APK's are
I believe the APKs are showing up as the Android App Version in the Diagnostic screen. If you look at my picture I am on Android App Version P50711 and the current one you posted is
| Joey 4 APK | P51101 |
Calling them is worthless. They don't even know that Dish removed the option on the Joey 4s in Tools to update. The last person told me there was no difference between P507 and P511 versions....

My Caller ID has been turned on from day one. I have handmade junctions that have line switches so we can see more than one line. But ages ago it has stopped showing on the screen. BUT the calls are listed in the logs. I hope this fixes that. I'd like to see the CID back on the TVs.
I see a lot of people trying to update their Joeys, but forgetting the software comes from the Hopper in the first place. Android TV does update from the internet from what I’ve seen, but the base software is still delivered from the Hopper. Can you guys check the “Available Joey Software” section in diagnostics on your Hopper’s? If P511 does not appear there, it probably doesn’t matter how many times you place the Joeys on standby, it won’t update. Also, there should be an option to redownload Joey software on the Hopper tools, if the Hopper updated but the Joey software did not that might be worth a try.
The joey must be connected to the Hopper at all times. All programming and recordings come from the Hopper.
The Joey is nothing but a terminal connected to the Hopper (server).
He is not talking about his Hopper, it is his Hopper Plus. The Joey 4 will work without the Hopper Plus.
Correct Bobby, I disconnected my HP and I am using my H3 with wired Joey 4s.
