Never thought i would see the day.
Its patched it to the May security release which seems a bit behind the times still.
I was as shocked as you were, creation date 6th June, personally wonder why they bothered considering update content.
Ray
Standby time seems to be very much improved, a 2% drop over night and that was it.
Can I apply the update with my device being rooted with magisk or do I need to uninstall magisk first? Saw somewhere people using flashfire but I am not sure if I need to apply it from there as I have twrp installed. Grabbed the update so will upload.

Don't tell anyone but it was a joke, the UK was seemingly ignored for months then 2 updates in 2 weeks.

Some guy on fb said that by the end of December or at the first week of January, we'll start getting Oreo. I can't believe that but I may be wrong

Lol seriously people...

Since August, I've been receiving at least one update EVERY month.
This one is out - and it's not even the end of November.
Its unprecedented! Anyone else? I think Samsung is doing very well. And the phone is better with battery usage after every update.
I'm very impressed... anyone else?
November....
Wow.
December security update!
They're like clockwork now.
And....where's everyone gone?!
I also received the update today. 2 updates in a single month from Samsung!

I'm like....What's going on? Am I awake? ?
Still... it's good, no?
And my phone is running like silk.
Onward.
I confirm. I get one update each month with the date of security level set on the first day of the previous month.
Another one!
Loving it!
So much infact I just got my front and back screen replaced.
New-Found respect for my S6+!
Is the latest one from 1st January 2018?

It would be the same one just issues on a different day. It's January though.
Amazing.... The S6 Plus is updating faster than the Mate 9, OnePlus 3T & 5T, the HTC U11, the Xiaomi Mi6 & the S8 Plus.

From a marketing standpoint it is really amazing, cause Samsung made S6E+ too good. They would normally bury a too good phone.

Of all the phones I'm carrying, the S6 edge plus is the only one getting updates every single month.
On time. Like clockwork.
It's pretty amazing.
Even my partner's 8+ is nowhere near it.

I read your reply today and I've checked if I have an update waiting for me aswell and it turns out although we live in different countrires in EU thre's an sec. update waiting for me.... about the same size.
But this one is strange. Even if full LTE signal It downloads very slowly. I wonder why?
BTW you have nice theme. Do you beleive I'm still runninng the stock defaut theme..... gosh...
I'm sure (I hope) You all (especialy XDA users) know the theory of making a device worse in performance (more lagging, lessm battery life etc.) by hidding a spcial code in sec. updates.
Well maybe that's what Samsung is doing cause like I've told You a thousand times S6E+ is (maybe until S9) the pbest fone release yet.
To motivate ppl to upgrade even from S8 Samsung may start rolling out bad updates.
Today I've talked to a guy that suddenly, 2-3 days after the premiere of S9/S9+ saw that his S8 has suddenly slowed down. He didn't install any new apps or did nothing unusual. Even didnt get the Oreo update.
Think about that.
I've isntalled the sec update. Have now from 1st Feb 2018 and for some time I see that espcially the battery life is going suddenly down.
You need to know that since I purchaed the phone I used it only once a month. Latley 4 times a month. Never installed more apps than 5. Even a loooong time ago after purchase I got rid of Microsoft apps and some other non Google and non Samsung.
Something fishy is about that.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK about this situation with these updates?
Is there any way of getting security patches while using a custom rom?

Good question but I estimate 90% the answer would be NO
Since installing 8.0.0 there hasn't even been a security update. Are updates done for the HTC 10? 8.0.0 broke Bluetooth media info in my vehicle so I had fingers crossed for an 8.0.1 or 8.1. Battery life dropped a lot for me too. Time to downgrade or install Lineage?
I have the same question/problem.

I don't think anything is coming. We're past the two year update period htc usually promises. There were a couple updates for the Taiwan variant since Oreo came out, but if we haven't gotten those by now I would be surprised if we ever get them.

That's literally what I said in the post above yours....
I missed that...
Just updated my phone at work for a security patch and went from September to November that's cool I guess, I was kinda hoping for December but I guess we will skip December get January's in February
I personally don't understand all the hoopla over a security patch.. No offense, but I never had any phone of mine compromised, even if I did not have the latest patch.. I always look forward to the new Android OS or other updates that actually make improvements to the phone.. My phone go the Nov updated 2 weeks ago.. I never did understand why they wait to actually get these things out.. If it is so critical, they need to push it out when it actually comes out.

I remember when I bought my Moto Z2 Force. Then first time I booted it up, I got 4 updates one right after the other April-August.. If these companies want to retain customers, then yes, they need to step up the game a bit...

I agree 100 percent. I personally do not plan on updating my phone, again, unless it is necessary, or pie drops.
First Monday of the month is typically when the updates hit, isn't it?
Also, it should be Feature Drop time. But no mention of it anywhere. Maybe just small update to come or there will be one next Monday?
Not until 1pm EST.
They confirmed it's delayed again
Delayed, plus the "feature drop" consists of some mediocre Snapchat stuff, an oversized battery widget and a couple stickers. The Pixel 6 turns into a disappointment. Non-existent feature drops, massive bugs, delayed updates... not a good track record.
Bipolar chat in the forums.. 13 Dev 2 comes out Thursday. I would think it will be out by the 15th or so latest.
Google really is starting to disappoint me with this phone. Bugs in connectivity, late updates you name it ... Expensive phone too.
Put me off Google I must admit I am starting to regret buying this phone.

I'm starting to regret it too, but we don't have many other options. Chinese phones that I refuse to buy, or Samsung phones that throttle apps. Right now they are all bad.
Hehe. It's funny.
U can see similar post in every phone topic.
Before use OnePlus 7pro and and was exactly same
When updating not on time.
There's no other phone worth considering. OnePlus is dead and Samsung has too much bloat and baggage.
I'm sticking with Pixels because at least I know my monthly updates will improve firmware, not just bump security patch level. And they will come every month. I don't worry too much about the delays, but it's a bad look.

I'm agreed with u.
But must be a reason for delay
Every day another reason to regret getting a 6 Pro. WTF was I thinking?
The update rolls out at different times per region doesn't it? That's something to take into account. There could be technical issues of some sort that's causing any sort of delay too.
Just have some patience yall it'll come soon enough

The pixel 6 Update is officially delayed by Google. They say later this month. Meaning it has nothing to do with a technical delay for a couple hours.

This is turning into a running joke.
Just one answer for "Where is the March update?" - in March
Sorry I had to
I would rather have a late update that's secure and stable than a bug fest with open back doors.
However looks pretty poor.

If 12L is delayed that means 13DP2 will not be available for p6 series as well.
Hi gang, long time, no chat! Amazing what happens when Google finally gets their act together with the P6Ps, isn't it?
The last I heard @ 9to5google.com is that it was late. Nothing beyond that, though. Thank you!
Well, Pixel updates were always released on Mondays. So maybe next Monday? Or even a Monday after that.
March Update postponed indefinitely
Google are getting so slow for updates and they barely have any phones lol, whilst Samsung have pushed out 2 massive updates by the time Google has pushed out 1, I also find it strange that pixels software are the bare minimum and have worse battery life
I don't think anyone really knows when it will be released. Interestingly, the A14 DP2 build that was released yesterday had the March security update in it.

HMMMM....
I count 15 updates and one major version upgrade since the initial release of the P6P since October 2021
I've found that Google's updates have drastically improved battery life for my P6P, but it still doesn't compare to the battery life I used to have with my LG several years ago. And I think we all can remember how bad LG was, with releasing updates. I just thought that perhaps I missed some insider news for the delay, and you are so wonderful with these phones.

All pixel phones have march update ota by now, just not pixel 6
Google really starts to look like fools, when samsung starts to be faster with android updates than google, and delays
Would you rather a fast update or one riddled with phone killing bugs?it's not like they sat down one day and said "i know let's make users mad and not release an update".
Google are doing fine with slow updates with lots of bugs, just look at the pixel 6 and 7 update history, software/hardware bugs are all over the place.
7 Pro update went online today. I guess ours will come soon then.
