I wonder if the modem is any better.

That's going to be the first thing I check. If it's the same January modem, I'm not going to be happy.

Not sure, I will let you know.

Ah, from beta to alpha release... Have fun!

I think I might pass on 12L, there isn't significant difference between 12L and 12. I'm going to wait for Android 13 later this month.

12L has new api and most bugs are removed. 13 will be an alpha build. I might test it, but its def entering the wild. Android 12L comes out officially next month so it could possibly be more reliable than the Feb build of the official ota.

Nice! Just enrolled. On-time updates and Beta programs, it's actually starting to feel like the Pixel experience.

13 will be an Alpha. There have already been a couple beta builds for 12L. 13 will be way more buggy than 12L is. 13 won't be beta until the May timeframe. Early developer preview builds are really only meant for app developers or someone who wants to take a quick peak at what 13 will offer. Not meant for daily driving.

Just enrolled, eagerly pressing "check for updates"

I'm still curious whether or not the rumours are true that Google will "release" 12L with a Pixel foldable and/or Tablet. Usually we get solid leaks about Hardware months in advance, I highly doubt that a Pixel foldable or another device will be ready in a month.

I'm enrolled and 12L beta 3 is out but no ota yet

Is there a side-loadable ota for Beta 3?

Apparently not, and you need an unlockable bootloader

If you guys want to just flash the factory image instead of enrolling and waiting...

Ooops

isn't the beta for tablets? what does it have for a pixel 6 pro?

New modem and bootloader.

Beta is downloading

Wish me luck

i think is the same ui but more big....and for a phone...i think is not recomended a bigger ui than 12

Razer Phone with a slice of Pie?

To start the thread off for questions and answers regarding whether the Razer Phone will get Android 9 anytime soon, i have created this space for news and information that you wonderful people can use. So...as Dr Evil would have said...."I'm the boss, need the info"
Looking at how the razer phone is project treble compatible, we will most likely get android pie.
Probably won't happen officially. Unofficially with Project Treble yes. I think Razer have given up on the there first generation phone.

I'm a little ignorant to this while Treble thing but from what I've read, isn't this supposed to be the point of Treble? So that we don't have to wait for Razer to push the update out and it can come directly from Google? Why has every other OEM supported beta builds of P but Razer has not?
Signed,
Very confused person

The point of treble was to make updating easier by minimizing the amount of work done on the source code of any rom. Basically razer now has less to do in order to make a new update but will they do it? Not sure. Maybe yes maybe no.

I think Google needs to slow the update cadence a bit. It takes years for each new OS to "percolate" down, and by then the device is 3 OS versions behind. 2 years between major releases would be a decent start. And if they quit breaking stuff in between. I know Treble is supposed to help, but it hasn't seemed to make releases any faster on OEM side.

The User Experience is not the smoothest I noticed, Pie of Nokia 5.1 is way more smoother than this one. The overall experience still feel a bit unpolished. As far as UI goes, the corners are again not smooth like they were in a previous Oreo update (specially around the notch), for some weird reason there is circle witht the Pie navigation gesture pill, the launcher is not same as Pixel/Android One, apps such as Digital Wellbeing are not present nor is available to download). Plus point, Google camera is still working, the display and camera are lagging during video calls (just tried on WhatsApp for now). Will add a few more points as I notice.

Stuck on June patch after rollback

I purchased my Nokia 8.1 a few days ago. After starting it, it updated one month at a time from the February patch to the August patch. I decided to try the Android 10 beta, and after playing around with it, I decided to return to Pie.
The rollback was delivered OTA and it installed fine. However, it had the June patch and it refuses to pick up the July or August patches. This is frustrating, as the whole point of having an android one phone was to receive the monthly updates. I tried removing my sim card and resetting to factory defaults, however this didn't make a difference.
Any ideas?
Give it some time. You'll get the updates rolling again within a day or so. Kindly be patient.

How do you know? It seems strange that they came through one after the other the first time and now I'm not getting any.

Because somebody on Nokia Community said that. Nokia is just taking a while to switch your update delivery server from the beta to the stable release.
It's essential because else there will be a big clash. Let's say you're on Beta release channel and you request downgrade. You get an OTA but didn't install it yet. And meanwhile Nokia changes you to stable release channel. What will happen? That downgrade OTA has to disappear because it isn't in the stable channel. And you'll be stuck on Android Q with not even beta updates and not stable ones.
So, just keep some patience. You'll be pushed to stable release after 24 hours. So that it is quite expected that you have taken the downgrade.
If you still don't get an update after a wait, then it will be something to think about, not yet.

Thanks for the explanation. It's easier waiting now that I know nothing's wrong.
Yeah, just be patient. [emoji846]
I rolled back last night and there was no updates, but I just woke up and checked for update... Ta-da! [emoji16]

Like clockwork, after exactly 24 hours, the July patch was detected, immediately followed by the August patch. Excellent!

I was constantly losing signal during calls. I could hear the other side, but they couldn't hear me and signal strength was shown as no signal at all. I've read that you could fix that by turning VoLTE off, but VoLTE doesn't even exist in my country. [emoji1787]
That's the main reason why I rolled back. [emoji846]
Also, gesture navigation is buggy as hell. [emoji846]

I couldn't really spot any differences, let alone advantages. Plus, the phone kept freezing; I'd go to unlock it and I'd just have a black screen. The only way to awaken it was to press the power button for several seconds and restart it.

Following the February security patch, some Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners encountered Wi-Fi issues. Google today confirmed the Pixel 6 problem and said it will be fixed with the upcoming March update.
The issue sees Wi-Fi automatically shutting off when Pixel 6 devices are locked or not turning on at all. Google says its investigation found the root cause and that it “impacts a very small number of devices.”
A software fix has been developed and set to arrive with the Google Pixel Update in March. The first Monday of next month happens to fall on the 7th, with factory and OTA images available that morning.
Hey u/cheesehead78. Thanks so much for reporting this issue, we’re sorry that you’re experiencing it. After some investigation, we identified the root cause and determined that it impacts a very small number of devices. Of course, we realize this is a poor experience and immediately developed a software fix that will be available in the next Google Pixel Update, rolling out in March. If you’d like to explore other options in the meantime, please get in touch with our support team, which is prepared to help you.

For those that can’t wait, Google tells impacted users to contact support. Many have found that installing Android 12L Beta 3 fixes the problem. From our usage, it’s quite stable and near-final quality.
Google did release a mid-cycle February update last week, but that did not resolve people’s issue. Verizon’s changelog only had the following to say:
The current software update provides performance improvements to your device.

Assuming that March is also 12L final release, this should be a fairly substantial update.
And then we're supposed to get 13 Developer Preview 2 a few days later.

Maybe we'll get 13 DP2 the week before? As updates are first Monday for security and first Wednesday for beta/DPs and first Monday of march is 7th and first Wednesday is 2nd. Just playing the guessing game here .
On the topic of updates - someone on Reddit posted that they had a chat with support and, if real, the staff mentioned there's a fix for the network issue as well. I guess another hopeful update that will potentially fix bugs and make the phone better.
Pixel 6 can't install Android 12L after latest February update, but one more beta build coming
Android 12L is scheduled to get its "final release" sometime next month, but Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners cannot install it if they are...

One more 12L beta.

It's pretty smooth. Final build quality actually as far as bugs go.
Are we supposed to get look to the os? I installed the old betas and the os looked more like origin os but was funtouch. Are we to expect a new look? This beta build looks like reg funtouch but smoother.

I updated yesterday morning, had 8hrs and 5mins sot by 11pm last night. That was starting from about 830 am. I usually get about 7.5 hrs sot since being on beta firmware. No heat issues at all. Never did and I've had the device since day 1.

Unfortunately no. My screenshots didn't back up to Google. I did a factory reset to reinstall the beta.
then make new ones if you have done a reset.

Battery life good to me
I'm puzzled why they still don't have some battery health options, like slower charge, or charge to 80%.
The ROG6 has so many options in that regard, it really put the Vivo to shame.
