Hello,
After upgrading to Android 10 yesterday, I notice in whatsapp, and I believe also for regular calls, when people call me it seems to decline almost immediately to them to where they will have to call multiple times until I call them back, or I just have to call them back.
It does not ring until I answer.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on a solution?
How did you update to 10?
Did you take the OTA update?
Did you flash the OTA package?
Did you flash the full factory images?
If you flashed the full factory images, did you do a clean install or did you "dirty flash" without wiping?
You might want to try a factory reset if you haven't done so yet.
I have a similar problem. I took the OTA update last night and I have verizon. I can't hear anything when I receive calls and it doesn't ring for the caller. Can someone please link me to the downgrade instructions for the final release? All I can find is "opt-out" downgrade instructions for the beta which doesn't work.

To downgrade, you'll need to:
Factory reset
Unlock your bootloader
Flash the previous factory images with fastboot
But a factory reset might fix it for you. Since you will have to do this anyway to downgrade, you might as well give it a shot and see if it fixes your issue. If the issue persists, then proceed with the downgrade.

Hi,
I upgraded by flashing the new firmware from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/images
. My concern about a factory reset is I don't think root works fully yet, meaning I possibly won't be able to use titanium backup?
I read yesterday that it was related to the My Verizon app. Try uninstalling that and see if it fixes it.
See here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/13584442?msgid=13602297
Thanks. I don't have that app, and the issue is more with whatsapp incoming calls.

Ah. Yeah, that's why I haven't chosen to upgrade to 10, I want to wait until it looks like root is working like it should.
So you manually flashed the images without wiping?

anyone know how to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
kitkat is bull****. no notification light, now screen doesn't even light up when I recieve a text.
thanks.
1. Open flashtool
2. Flash jelly bean firmware
flashtool is a rar. do I use it on PC?
Flashtool is a program for Windows. You can download it from here: http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
You can find jelly bean firmwares (ftf) in the sticky thread in General section.

If you download the latest version it's an executable so you don't need to decompress it with winrar.
Download Jellybean ftf's from here:

I've got kitkat myself and I have to say it works 100%, I have no bugs whatsoever, battery life excellent. I wiped my phone completely before upgrading to KitKat maybe that's the difference between bugs and no bugs.

Since kitkat, my notification light stopped working, and now my screen does not light up when I receive a message... bullcrap.
I downloaded emma flashtool, and signed up, but no authentication email yet (hours ago) and you can't use it without that.

My one still works and my screen does light up when I receive a message. If you're going to downgrade you might as well reset your phone. I'm sure that'll solve your problems.
Of course it's up to you.

Yeah it will wipe absolutely everything. But so will a downgrade to Jelly Bean.
Files on your SD card will remain but I would take it out before you reset it just in case.
Contacts should be sync'd to your google account?
The only thing I've needed to do after a hard reset is download my apps again. You can backup your SMS and Call log using an app on the playstore called Super Backup.
To do a hard reset:
Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
A factory reset will just wipe all data on the ROM you're on. If you're on Kitkat and you do a factory reset you will remain on KitKat but all data will be removed (apart from factory data/apps). If you're on JellyBean and you do a factory reset you will remain on JellyBean but all user data will be wiped (factory data/apps will remain).
So still no lollipop on my nexus 7 2013 wifi, its not rooted, i did a factory reset to start fresh, i did a backup before that. when it finished factory reset backup restored all and it works ok and again still no lollipop but a new problem started to show. Before i did a factory reset my system update automatically checked for updates 2-3 times a day, but now it doesnt do that at all i can check it manually but it doesnt check it automatically. whats the problem? can i fix it somehow? thanks to all who can help
p.s. i can see that my apps wont automatically update like before even tho my play store is set to update automatically
Why not just flash the factory image at this point? I would never wait for the OTA to prompt me. As soon as the factory image was on the Google website, I would be flashing it.

Yes that is a good idea if you know what you are doing, and i'm afraid that i'll mess something so i'll wait for OTA but can you help me with this update problem for now?
Hi,
am using a Pixel XL 1 on Android 8.1, bootloader unlocked, patch level of February. Now I have the problem that since about December no OTA updates are shown/offered at all. Therefor I always had to manually update.
Even the manual triggering of searching for updates, which has recently been changed so that the devices explicitly should get the currently available update, does not work.
The device was rooted, but I have unrooted it (Magisk) now, and is running the standard firmware from Feburar on it.
Does anyone have any clue why my device is not offered any OTA updates?
Anyone?
What kind of recovery do you have installed? Stock or TWRP?

Stock. So everything should be as vanilla as possible! I'm really clueless.
i don't get it either. pixels running a non-stock os should get notifications about a new update. they won't install successfully though. i'm guessing, but maybe going through the unroot process to get rid of magisk did not return your os to completely stock. maybe some junk was left behind and that's causing your issue.
my suggestion is to flash a full factory image to start fresh. i would edit the flash-all.bat script to remove the -w option to keep data. if that doesn't work, put the -w option back and rerun to wipe data and flash the factory image. if you really want to see if that fixes your problem, flash an older image like the february or january one, and see if the update notification comes back. or flash the march image to be up to date and wait until april to see if you get the update notification.

That's what I've did already No difference.

It's just the hassle installing everything from scratch again.
I wish recovery/backup was as easy as on iOS. Without necessity of any tricks, root etc.
Is this phone enrolled in the Android Beta Program ? I've had trouble getting OTA updates on my phone after the beta program ended for it until I un-enrolled from the program, then I got updates like normal. There will be warnings about having to wipe the device, but if your on the the stock/stable version already you won't have to.

Tried that one as well. I was on a beta at some point, but unsubscribed from the beta. Also tried to unsubscribe again, but it the well know link took me to a page where it said that there is no beta, hence I couldn't try to unsubscribe again.
When you flashed the full factory image did you use the newest march update? if you did then you wouldnt get anything because you are already current
Gotta say, exactly the same problem.. stuck on 8.0 November lol. Haven't found a solution, too lazy to manually flash for now. Let me know if you find a solution!
have you tried deleting the data and cache on the google services app?
Good evening,
So I decided to finally root my Pixel 3 XL.
After successfully rooting it with magisk, I've notice all the time now that when I receive a notification regularly it mutes whatever I'm watching. YouTube vids, videos or any media I'm looking at.
But the thing is it doesn't unmute after. It stays muted until I go home or close it and re watch it.
This has never happened to me before and it started happening right after I rooted my phone.
Stock rom and haven't installed any mods.
I did install viper4android to see if it'll fix it, but nothing.
Has anyone had this issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Btw I tried unrooting and doing everything over again and still same issue.

Very odd...first time I've heard of this. So un-rooting solves it? Reapplying root then breaks it again? Can you duplicate this running in safe mode, or not? It may indicate whether another app you have installed is causing the problem. Another (albeit a longshot) thing to try would be to reset app settings under System>>Reset options. Does not delete any app data. Lastly, I don't know how you guys update monthly (ota vs image) but I would fastboot flash the latest full image removing the -w wipe switch from the flash-all script. Fastboot boot TWRP and flash the latest magisk.zip file from there. Let us know how you get on.

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll give it shot when I get home.
I haven't updated my phone at all, it's on the March update.
But yes, it seems as if the issue only occurred once I rooted it with magisk.
Fastboot flash the lasted update and then fast boot into TWRP the lasted magisk.zip over what I have without wiping correct ?
I believe the latest stock is the newly April update ending with .003

Since you haven't updated to April yet, now is a good time to flash the full image. Open the image file and extract all it's contents into your adb folder. Please make sure you are using the latest fastboot/adb binaries HERE. Open the flash-all.bat file with notepad and edit removing the "-w" from the script and make sure you save before closing. This will make sure that you will not lose any data. Now just execute the script. You can do this by clicking on it, or from the command line. Once completed, "fastboot boot twrp.img" (not the zip). Use TWRP to install the latest magisk.zip which you should place on the phone before starting. Good luck!
For me this issue appears only with audio mods like viper/Ainur/JamesDSP, without it everything works... I think big G change something in the last update

It will wipe your system and other partitions but will not wipe /data/media (your storage). Obviously you will lose TWRP recovery.

Hello, everyone!
I just installed Android 10 onto my Pixel 3 XL a couple of hours ago and I've noticed battery drain and some lag. Is a factory reset suggested at this point, since I flashed a new Android version?
Edit:
I had animations removed under "Accessibility" and I toggled it back on, then I turned Dev. Options on and switched animations to .5x and the problem seems to have went away. I'll have to update you all on battery life later. Still, the question remains... Is a reset suggested?

No, if you used the ota through phone, google would of already done maintenance before the install, ie, removed incompatible apps settings and features.
Has anyone flashed the factory image? If so what one did you use. I can't flash the the 10 factory image. The only was I can get it is to flash the Pie factory image, and then take the OTA. Not sure why I get an error every time I try to flash 10.

Ive tried the update 3 times now and every time it has been stuck at the boot. I would have to turn off and try to restart around 3-5 times for it to go back to Android Pie. So still unable to update to Android 10.
Ill try it one more time later and see if maybe they changed the update a bit

I don't know if this had anything to do with it but I disabled my ad blocker and I cleared all recent apps and then when I tried it the second time it worked so maybe make sure everything is clear and you have no ad blocker enabled.
For small updates like monthly security patches or version increases of 0.1 or 0.0.1 I usually don't worry about doing a clean install since the changes are usually pretty minimal. For large updates I like to do a clean install just for piece of mind that all the crap that built up on my phone over the past year is gone, to eliminate the general issues that pop up with dirty installs, and having a squeaky clean fresh install just feels nice once in a while.

I updated 9->10 like I normally do each month by dirty flashing the full image (not full OTA) so I would say you do not need to do a factory reset. I did not previously install any of the betas. Although the install took longer and was different (fastbootd) it completed and booted to system the first time. It may just be time for a fresh install, meaning leave the wipe flag in the flash-all script and let it erase your user data.

(Update) I finally got it to do a full factory image flash with a complete wipe. The only thing I changed was, I switched from Slot B to Slot A. Not sure if that was even the issue, but It worked, and now My Pixel 3XL is running really well. No issues that are being reported.

Suit yourself, but if your adb/fastboot binaries are all up to date (July 2019) and you are flashing the full image (not the OTA image), then you should have no issues at all. There are many guides on how to do this properly and the procedure is no different now than with 9. Also, there is no "change" coming to make the install smoother because there is nothing to fix. If your bootloader is unlocked this phone is virtually un-brickable.

No, but you do need an unlocked bootloader. If you are unlocked go ahead and flash the full image. Be sure to do a version check of your adb/fastboot. Sometimes you can get into trouble if you have old versions in a different location. You need to be sure you are running version 29.0.2 (July 2019). If you did not lose all your user data on past attempts, do a dirty flash (removing the -w flag from the flash-all.bat file). If you already lost your data, then just run the script as-is. GL.
Edit: If you were trying to update 9->10 using an OTA, that is probably your issue. The full image will properly reformat your file system for 10.
