anyone gotten the 8.1 ota from T-Mobile? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

It's almost a week since the 8.1 was released. I'm still December patch 8.0 with T-Mobile. Anyone from T-Mobile got 8.1 ota without force update?

Nope. Still rocking 8.0 with November patch here.

Mine is in.

No update for me. I seem to always get them at least a week after it starts going out.

tmo and still on 8.0 update .. i noticed i'm getting updates way later now with Pixel 2 compared to OG Pixel

I'm on T-Mobile and received my 8.1 update on Thursday.

I'm on TMobile and no update for me either. I also got the November update late for some reason. I mash the update check at least 3 times a day. Haha.

Received mine about 3 days ago.

I waited weeks for the Nov update and it never came. Didn't get the 8.1 update either. Sideloaded both of them. Easy enough. But hopefully Google keeps their promise and fixes the manual update check.

If you want to get update fast enable beta install that one then you will get regular update .

Still waiting on mine, a friend told me he just received his this morning. Both of us have pixel XL, on TMobile.

Received mine last week, coming from 8.1 beta.

This is stupid. I signed up for the beta so I could get this since I hadn't received it yet. Still can't pull it down! WTH.

Got it last week but was on 8.1 beta.

I haven't received 8.1 even being on an unlocked Pixel 2 XL.

I'm still waiting for my update. I may side load it if it's not here in a week.

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 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

Oreo rolling out....Now the wait for the developer image begins

Really looking forward to the Oreo update for the shield...hoping Nvidia doesn't make us wait too long for the developer image
No update for me yet. Experience V6.3 still showing as latest update. (Shield 2017 16GB)
Edit: 24 hours later, still no update. Even signed up for the beta program last night.
No update here in Canada either
Still 6.3
Please update guys when it's available.
Can confirm Montreal, Canada. I'm now on oreo. Too soon for impressions or reviews.
Update is here in Sweden..
Just have to wait for the dev release..
It seems to be rolling out in stages, I'm looking forward to trying out the new GUI.
I really hope that they manage to handle the release of the developers image a lot better than the last update. That was a disaster.

I don't think Google are that fussed about Follow-the-Sun. As it's previously been mentioned it's normally 11am - 2pm PT so quite late tonight in Europe.
The images are out now
The bulletin mentions only one functional improvement that too for pixel 3 family. This means that nothing exciting for pixel 2??

It looks that they don't care for their customers much...

YOU CAN NOT ROLL BACK TO PREVIOUS OS VERSIONS!!
Yup. Received a feature update yesterday with camera improvements on my U1. Then got this update this morning. It's just a security patch BUT PLEASE NOTE!!! This moves you up to bootloader v2. You can NOT roll back to previous versions.
This also tells me the Android 10 beta will have a v2 bootloader when it's pushed, otherwise we wouldn't be able to install it.

In my experience, about every two weeks, the FP sensor gets mega wonky and won't recognize my prints. So I have to re-enter them. Then it works like butter, but slowly degrades in performance for a couple weeks until it's wonky again.
I've got 4 updates on my Note 10+ in the 7 weeks I've had it. Never had so many updates on a device in such a short time and I own a OP6T and P2XL
Maybe we'll be getting Android 10 with One UI 2.0 before the new year. It definitely seems companies are finally pushing updates like they should. We pay a lot of money for these devices so it's good to know they are being supported better these days.

They roll out in waves but certain regions seem to get priority over others...
Kinda sucks balls being on the end of the list and waiting 2 months for an update or feature the forums are all talking about a month or 2 in advance....
Even worse when a security threat is found and we are stuck in limbo wondering if we are gonna get an update soon to fix that which has been found...

Hey, Butchie. I may have to try that. Been getting frustrated with it. Id say it's my Whitestone Dome screen protector, but literally when I first register the prints, it works smooth as butter. Couple weeks later and it's like it doesn't recognize my prints at all.

Plenty of copies around. Venom has one posted on androidfilehost. Sammobile has one. They are present and handy. In fact, flash the csc from it AfTER you are on the beta to get back your carrier features.
