I don't have it either, and it won't play music in the car. It connects and phone calls seem to work (I just dialed a number and hung up, not sure how call quality would be), but the car doesn't find a compatible media device. I read the security update might fix it??

8.1 DP will get you October patch. Sacrifice stability for security if you want. Kidding a little, I was wondering where the heck the security update was before I went to the 8.1. Possibly they're waiting to package all the software improvements together and since people keep complaining about more things, they keep adding more things.

Not here!

It's only been released with 8.1 beta

My first Pixel/Nexus back since I had the Galaxy Nexus, and one of the main decision points was rapid updates, including security ones. Here it is, Nov 3, and still on September. I could swear Google was on a regular monthly cadence of security updates for the Pixel 1 and Nexuses (Nexi?)

lets hope for nov 6 patch.. hopefully addressing most concerns

Nov 7 and I'm still only on September patch.

It takes time for the otas to roll out. You can't expect thousands of people in all areas of the world on different carriers, to receive the patch at the exact same second.

Hoping these come soon. Don't like being out of date by so far at this point. Not sure why I still am only on September.

This would be a good excuse but as of a couple months ago supposedly the update button was supposed to actually work. I know I hit the stupid thing 20 or 30 times since seeing the update dropped and still haven't gotten the update.

Really. Google Play Store can update an app all across the world in a few hours? OTAs don't happen since carriers control updates. This should not be. Google needs to reclaim their power before Android goes to the dark side of fragmentation. I have a bad feeling about this.

There are many reports about the display changes for the Pixel 2 XL in the released November security update, but neither the OTA or images are posted on Google's site yet.

Tortoise updates by Google...

Updates are live on Google site

Anyone else not received the Nov update yet?

Anybody get the OTA yet that wasn't a Beta member?

If nobody has, has anyone heard a timeframe?
Not yet, since Monday and today is Thursday, four days ago 8.0 came out. My Pixel XL came out last year with Nougat so this is the first big Platform Upgrade. I'm trying to remember if my former Nexus 5 took so many days to get a Platform Upgrade.

My understanding from a few articles is that Google is rolling it out and anybody not in the beta program will get it "soon." I have a play store version using a Verizon SIM and I have it check under system update periodically and haven't had it pushed to my phone yet.

They haven't even posted the actual OTA files yet. Most likely cause they(the public OTA release) are not finalized until after the release to beta users to catch any final issues....as they pulled the one they pushed it at first...then resent(signature issues). Quite a few users reporting O issues....so I would say it will be at best a week or 2 before Google works out the bugs and does public OTA.
Not from non-beta OTA, later I joined the beta, and it came.
Nope I check daily and nothing

Same here man. I'm not expecting it until I see some images posted. And that might be 8.0.1 at this point. Multiple problems out there. No rush whatsoever for me.

No OTAs here either, I flashed up from the 7.1.2 August build to the new OPR6 build.
Nothing here either. And like others said, there appear to be some issues with the current release, so I'm in no hurry to upgrade to 8.0. Let them iron out those initial bugs first before they push it to the general public.

I am on the Pixel XL and Nexus 6P with DP4 on both. I received one single ~59MB and ~36MB OTA file on each.
I thought that was really small since all the DP OTAs were ~1GB and so expected a similar size for the stable OTA. Can you share your OTA experience? What was the size and did you receive two files (small+big) as some others are reporting online?

mine was about 60 some mb, I got the OTA before it was pulled the first time and everything went smoothly for me. after reading other's experiences I'm wondering why mine worked.

I was on 7.1.2 and when I was checking system update, it only showed "system is up to date". And then I joined the Android Beta Program and I received a notification that Android O was ready to download, size about 950MB.
Then it proceeds like any other OTA. I didn't get any second package yet.

In your case - you joined the Beta program after Oreo was released - so it makes sense that the OTA to final would be 900MB. Thanks for your response!

OK so I guess the DP4 to final Android Oreo OTA is ~60MB. Thanks man! I will let other people in parallel forums know about it.
Pixel XL from Google Store/on VZ network (off contract). I was not on the DP but sources advised to sign up, get the OTA, and then unenroll. I did that yesterday and am now on OPR6.170523.012 which is stable and I understand the final. Working fine.

On the T-Mobile SIM Pixel XL, from DP4 my current build number is: OPR6.170623.011
Google needs to get its sh*t together and start to clearly communicate what's going on and where we stand.

Got the facts from the Pixel forum here.
If you're on the DP4 Android O, it is considered the final Release Candidate so only the smaller OTA is delivered to bring you in line with the stable release of Android Oreo.

I see that that is a way to basically force the OTA to 8.0, but I'm still uncomfortable doing that without any system or OTA images available on the google site. There must be a reason no images have been posted for any carrier. So I'll sit it out for now and I do believe you will get an updated OTA once the images are released. Even though Oreo is "official" I still thinks it's just a later beta with all the issues they're having.

Correct, I have encountered some issues after beta-OTA process, like "Automatic Time Zone" always wrong and hidden wifi not connecting...
I plan to do a factory image flash, if issues persistent, I'll downgrade to 7.1.2 and wait for the real OTA...

This is where I am - now. I never normally do the beta stuff, but this time after Monday's announcement, I got excited and believed all the stories about how you could join the beta, just to get the OTA to the "final" release of 8.0 (I was stock, un-rooted, 7.1.2 on T-Mo). I did it, and it worked just as expected. I was first thrown by the naming convention for the build (OPR......., instead of just "OZKL4T" or something--I realize now that might be how they are named from now on). I have also since seen that there is still carrier testing to be conducted, plus other issues. Also, if it's "final", why aren't the images and OTA files here yet - https://developers.google.com/android/images ?? Being cautious, I decided to reflash the latest 7.1.2 image, and wait patiently for the "real" OTA. Not interested in beta testing (any more than we already do by being Nexus/Pixel stock owners). Happy for everyone that is running this latest build, but I'm only interested in the rock-solid, absolutely final images. Those are not here yet, in the form in which they have always come previously (and will almost certainly come again shortly).
Uh....I'm still on November 7.1.1, was about to upgrade August release but waited for the official O release from Google.lol

I've noticed there's an obtober android security updates but my pixel has September and no update available.
Thanks,
Mick

The factory images (security updates) are available the first Monday of every month. OTA updates are usually sometime soon after.

Curious why the October update hasn't arrived as it's almost November? Is it cause the phone just launched?

That would be my guess. It should arrive sometime Monday of course, along with plenty of bug fixes. I think it happened last year with the Pixel 2 as well.

Mostly due to the 3's running a different version of Pie than the rest.
Google skipped the first month after release on all their phones so far. The first update has generally included both the security updates and bug fixes.

no updates yet for the 3a XL?

I thought I had seen a couple of reviewers on YouTube saying there had been some however I've not had anything since getting my device and also still on old security patch.
Anyone had anything?
There wont be anything til June

They announced the phone would be patched along with the June update, if there is any word about what is getting patched I haven't seen it around yet..

June Security patch out

281 mb in size.. Just this afternoon its out..No observable changes..
Thanks for the heads up, installing as we speak.
The security Patch works very good.
No update since May 2019 for TA-1085 in U.S. Nokia seems to be slipping on getting updates out. Went really well for several months, now 2 months behind. Not looking good.

Question Any word on the ETA for the March OTA update?

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.

You remind me of my ex - she thought that I had a crystal ball and could read her mind. I can give you her coordinates - the two of you would get along just great
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.
