Prompted to update to 7.1.2 but I'm on Oreo? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

See the photo below. My phone is prompting me for an update, but I'm on Oreo/8.0.
Has this happened to anyone before?
My phone is an unlocked Verizon.

Seems Verizon is pushing an OTA that hasn't shown on either the OTA or factory images page.

Don't worry. Happens with me. In fact the update is for September security patch in Oreo dispatch the notification. Just go ahead

Thanks. But if I have updates turned off in my settings, how is this happening?

Not 100 percent confirmed that it is only VZ, but it is for VZ for sure. Others is unknown at this point.

uh no.
I just checked and installed wallet on my Verizon gn and installed no problem. Your play store may have not updated yet to new version. I am running slim 4.3 rooted.

I guess part of what I am wondering is why it says not compatible, but then let's me update.
New update is nice.

It's the market deciding compatibility based on your device name in your build.prop.
No big deal.

[Q] ISIS - Google Wallet / Does it work for you?

So I got my Note 4 on the 22nd and I'm loving it so far.
I went to try Google Wallet this morning and I could NOT get the tap and pay to work even though the app and phone said it was all set as my default.
ISIS - I don't yet have a card type that they will allow to add in the app.
Curious to see what results you all get? Thanks.
Happy Note 4 days!
No, but it will never work for me. The type of account I am on does not permit it to work.

I actually installed gw and right on the main screen tap and pay. I went into it and it still had my cards from a year ago just selected default. Also was one more thing I saw in settings to select which as default.

Tapatalk Restarting After Being Minimized (Memory management)

Just curious,
Is there anyway to keep Tapatalk in persistent memory so it doesn't completely close and reopen when I hit the icon instead of accessing it through recents? Not a huge deal, just annoying on occasion when I forget to go to recents and hit the icon instead

If I'm not mistaken, go to.... Settings > Battery > Battery settings > Battery Optimization, view all apps from drop down, find Tapatalk and change it to Don't optimize.
Let me know if that works!

Nexus 6 came with some stuff also. Some for Verizon and some from sprint. If you can not delete it you may have to wait for root to delete it from system.
What's weird is we got Google purchase devices getting Verizon apps pre installed and Verizon purchased ones like mine that never got Verizon apps installed until I finally installed a couple that I use....

Most people would go into developer options to see if OEM unlocking can be turned on.

There should also be a SKU on the back of the phone, and Verizon lists:
G-2PW2100-021-A or G-2PW2100-021-B
I think it's also listed on the Product/Variant line in fastboot, and this image is probably the Google version:

Yeah can't flip the bootloader switch so I'm screwed lol

You could look at it this way--if you have to be stuck on stock the Pixel is likely the best phone to be stuck on stock with.
Agree, thanks guys

Verizon RCS

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has RCS from VZW working on the pixel 2 XL?
Saw on a Droid life post, the comments section, someone said there 2xl was working with RCS on VZW.

I've been looking. Haven't seen anything yet ....
If you open Android Messages, go to settings, open advanced, and see the "Chat features" options, you probably have RCS working. I'm on Sprint and this is what I see.

I don't believe Verizon has announced any timeline for RCS support on pixel 2 yet, only pixel 3.
Early 2019

Verizon had said Q1 2019 a few days ago.

Source?
I get the option on my pixel 2xl, but if I try to activate it just spins forever, saw some guides about disabling carrier services, but that didn't help.
