Anyone knows when is beta 5 is coming out. I tried beta 4 but had too much problems with it
Rumor has it that today it will launch since its usually the first Wednesday of the month but last Wed was right before the 4th. If not today, Perhaps August?
Gotta be soon with all the online chatter already about what it contains.

Just can't wait some good stuff coming along with it
According to the Android program overview, the releases of Beta 5 & 6 are scheduled in July! so it's inevitable that b 5 will be released this week...
Beta 5 is out
https://developer.android.com/preview/download
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-beta-5-rolling-out/
Downloading currently!
Yeah, I just got it and my phone is now quite screwed. Boot loops for a while, then drops me into recovery with "Cannot load Android system. Your data may be corrupt." I get the option to try again (which eventually just dumps me back into recovery) or "Factory data reset". Ugh.
Edit: and the factory reset does appear to "work" though of course now I have a load of work to do to get things back the way they were. Oddly, the phone now thinks it has a different phone number. This is going to be fun. Also get fun things like "Settings keeps stopping". Yeah, this isn't going to be a good day.

Ugh, had this issue with QB4. Might wait a little bit. Thanks for letting us know!
Okay i have updated it but what the hell is new ?
Pixel 2 XL on Beta Q 5. Gmail & Docs will not go dark even with override force dark on. Anyone else have the same issue?
And...the OTA was pulled:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/07/10/get-your-pixels-ready-android-q-beta-5-is-landing-today/
"According to Google's official reddit account,*Q Beta 5 has been pulled*for all devices. No specific reason has been given aside from being "related to installing updates," and there's no ETA for its return either. We will keep you posted when we get more information."

Taking the update right now, I guess it is back?

Got to work this morning to find out I had no mobile data left (attached image). I thought, how strange, yesterday I'd had about ~1GB usage out of my 4GB available, I of course immediately when and looked to see what had used it all and Android OS was at the top with 2.13GB (WTF?).
This also isn't the first time this has happened, I had the same last month. Can someone please explain what is going on because I know for damn sure I've not used all that, I only browsed a few web pages this morning.

My bet is your phone is not up to date and you are rooted or modded. It keeps trying to download the update. We have seen this quite a few times even with automatic system updates turned off.

You are indeed correct, I am due an update, however, I'm not rooted currently although, my bootloader is unlocked as I've been assisting with getting Magisk working on stock for Pixel devices.
And what kind of idiot developer/team thought downloading OS updates over mobile data without question was okay!? I've now got to go for 2 weeks without, I'm royally p*ssed about it. Guess I'd better flash the new update then while I have a (non-cellular) internet connection.
I remember when Google targeted power users with Nexus devices, I guess this is not entirely true for Pixel devices. Big boys like to do what they want, even if that means staying on a particular version of Android because we might be testing things... I'd rather not have OS updates forced down my throat, it's the same thing that bugs me with Windows 10.

You can just install the factory image on your computer and then remove the w in flash all bat file by using a text editor so that way it won't delete everything. You won't need to use any data

That's what I usually do! Just not had the time to do it recently.
this is caused by update downloading and failing over and over. I went into the dev options and turned off the auto update but it did not work. I had to update the phone manually and now its fine. I think after rooting the phone and going back to stock rom this happens.
IDK man, I was rooted and was pulling like 10gb+. Flashed stock via adb and I think it's still doing it. Project fi.
This is happening to me as well on project fi. A was rooted with beans rom and burning through 7 plus gb a month. Returned to stock completely except bootloader still unlocked. Can't install the new updates and burns through data trying over and over again. I'm not sure how to proceed other then switch to unlimited data plan on T-Mobile.

No. This all happened since returning to stock. Today I sideloaded the August update with adb and my phone says it's on the current version finally. It seems the support people at project fi are clueless for the most part. You have to do everything yourself but they will at least credit your account for the data used by Android os if you call them and tell them what's up. They want screen shots of the data usage. So save one before you go messing with stuff
It's possible that it comes today/tomorrow at some point!!

Yes, major speculating here, but usually Nvidia is very very quick with updates. SO let's all hope and pray. This COULD also be the Nvidia Spot announcement/availability.
Tomorrow 29th or today 28th. Their message is very cryptic. Google Assistant was just released for Nvidia Shield TV! Not Oreo unless they have their own announcement since Assistant one was by Google
Apparently some people are updating to Oreo already. But it looks like US only. :crying:

Just got the update. But it failed to install. It downloads the update and restarts the shield, but never finishes the install. Stops at about 20% on the Android System Update Screen then restarts back to the home screen asking if I want to install the Experience 6.0 update. Is it because I'm rooted? I don't have TWRP installed but I do have superuser installed....Tried 3 times.

I always remove root then do the update. No TWRP either but it would always fail on me.

Got #root#?!
If so, well there's your problem. You can NOT update in the conventional way once your rooted. In short you'll have to first download, and use fastboot, to flash the last 5.0.x Recovery For (Chiefly Recovery, System, and Vendor), and then most likely as not do a full system reset. Which if your unfortunate to be doing this on a Pro. Will mean about roughly 2.5h's+ of downtime. Before you'll then need to worry about the latest Update.
Unfortunately I keep telling myself to never root the damned thing again. 'Cause this IS a huge PitA! but, somehow I never learn.

Alas One does NOT just remove root on the Shield. And, sadly 'cause of it. The only way I know of to be rid of it is flashing a new (Clean Recovery OS), and then factory resetting it fresh for the "New OS" to actually get written. Otherwise root seem to longer like a bad smell on the Shield.
And, now an aside...
Where is all this scuttlebutt about Oreo (Cookie), coming from?
Having done the above... (Sigh again!) I just finished wrapping up that part of the Install. When it occurred to me to check the Version... Which is still Android 7 (e.g. Nougat), so unless someones getting something I'm not. Then, this is not the Chocolate Wafer Cookie your looking for....
Which begs a different question. Why are they calling this "Experience 6..x", and not 5.x.x?

I don't know about any Oreo update, but I updated to the new release without doing any data reset. Simply boot to fastboot and flash the downloaded system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img. No need to clear data. Then in the system you can install the OTA as normal and re-root using TWRP and Magisk/SuperSu.

My pixel xl started bootlooping. I can get into fastboot but that's it. If I try to boot twrp, bootloop, if I flash stock, bootloop. I've tried Oreo, pie. This came out of nowhere. I tried a gsi, bootloop. I'm very confused. The memory works because its flashing. Something has to be triggering a reboot. Only thing I know of that forces restart is unencrypted internal storage

I bought a one plus literally a week ago. Lucky on my end. Whatever google did it is bad. I opened up the kernel and disabled the securities. Unencrypted the data. Still nothing. I've manually flashed over every partition 1 by 1, switched to the other slot and tried there. This looks like its going to be a battle. I've got a feeling what we flash isn't copying over some things because it keeps the newest version, which is why we can flash but not overwrite the problem

I have done that as well through bootloader. Forgot to mention. It may be a software issue. I flash a older firmware and the camera worked. I let it update and it worked but after a few hours it stopped working. I've yet to let it stay on the software version that works for more then few minutes.

Updates are overated... if I have a stable load that's running well I leave it alone.
I've run outdated OS's on Android for years with no major issues or forced reloads because of it.
Old firmware/software doesn't break Androids but new ones sure as hell can...
Still running on Pie on my 10+ with no plans to go to Q.

Yeah they like to lock the doors behind you... just remember the lesson.
I learned the hard way with Kitkat; the last update did nothing except make easy root impossible.
With lollipop AT&T/Samsung purposely screwed up the graphics on just that old model for contacts and the music play list making the S4+ next to unusable.
They'll say it will run better, be more secure.
BS.
Never had a OS "upgrade" that wasn't bigger, hoggier and slower then the original on Android.
Never in 6 years of running outdated OS's on Androids had to do a reload from a virus or worm.
Sure it can happen but rarely does if you don't do stupid things.
Play with it, eventually you'll sort it out

My device is running .036 and about a week ago the system update said there was a download. I am assuming is .037 because that is the only thing it could be...
I try to download it and it fails and it says to try again and it fails, repeat ad nauseum...
Is this ( .037 ) supposed to download ?
Ah snap, is my phone's update software broken ?
I assume this android bug will only go away with a factory reset...
Hmm...
Because fixes are cumulative, should I just wait a little bit and download December's update. I am assuming there will be a software update in December besides the security stuff.
Vote now.
Factory Reset -or- wait

The OTA will not wipe, no flags needed. Only the full image will wipe, unless you use the flag.
I doubt your update system is broke, I suspect you just got a bad download. Next download will be fine I think. So sideload or wait for December.

To be clear, are you rooted, or at least running a custom kernel? If yes to either one, you shouldn't attempt to take any automatic downloads. At worst they just won't update, such as you found out, or at worst it could break something, although still not catastrophic except maybe losing some data.
So, if you are rooted or at least using a custom kernel, you should turn off automatic updates in the Developer Options. And if you're not rooted and not using a custom kernel, then go with what everyone else said. Now if December's OTA failed to update your phone correctly and you're not rooted or using a custom kernel, then I would consider first just flashing the full factory image (whatever the most up to date at the time will be) while removing the -w (wipe) command from the flashall.bat.
Also, to complicate this reply even further, whether you're rooted or not, have you /or disabled verity and verification? If so, when you use the flashall.bat, you're going to want to put the disable verity and verification commands in place of the -w wipe command - otherwise you would *have* to wipe any time you go from either enabled to disabled, or from disabled to enabled.
Sorry for any confusion my reply may cause.

I'm starting to think 037 was pulled from the updator
I have several friends with h p6pros and only the ones who got their device early in the release received 037
I'm still on 036, however the updator no longer shows an update is available, edit: looks like Google only released 037 for select carriers
