1 more update for Pixel 3a / XL? - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

It seems there will be a July update for Pixel 3a - https://www.gsmarena.com/googles_pi...ving_their_last_update_by_july-news-54183.php
I still have not accept the current update. When the number of update is limited, any bug that comes along will not be fixed. How do you decide whether to take an update or not?

It's generally best to take the latest update so as to benefit from the latest security fixes. Other than that, if your device works fine and you aren't concerned about fixes or improvements, it's simply a matter of preference.

NDE63P vs NOF26V

Are there any important difference between NOF26V and NDE63P updates? Any advantages or disadvantages between the two?
I have a Verizon Pixel XL that arrived about a week ago. It came with NDE63P. I immediately enabled developer options and disabled automatic system updates. I have not yet decided if I am going to unlock the bootloader, and I am not asking for advice on whether or not I should. I am trying to keep my options open. I like to keep things simple, which is why I like the Nexus and Pixel phones. Taking an OTA is much easier than sideloading an update. But there are still good reasons to unlock/root.
I am still weighing my options. I don't feel any need to rush right now.
I've read of people having bluetooth or battery issues, none of which I am experiencing right now on NDE63P. Until I make a decision, is there anything other than current security updates that NOF26V fixes or breaks?
Thanks!
Here is a great big disadvantage to taking it as your device sits now. Any ota you take before unlocking the bootloader renders it un-unlockable. So, theres your choice. Unlock and take any otas you want and maintain the ability to customize or not, or, leave it locked, take an ota, and no more choices. You decide.

I am completely aware of that. That is why I disabled automatic system updates, so I can make this decision after I have had a chance to use the device and decide what changes, if any, I want to make. I am just trying to make an informed decision on my own.
Are there any key differences, pros or cons, between NDE63P and the current NOF26V?

Many people have disabled the updates but then it mysteriously updates itself and then cry for an unlock, so we are warning you is all. The difference between the 2 is mainly security updates but they did add a few features, like waking the phone can't remember exactly what. Some small tweaks and fixes too. There's change logs somewhere.

Thanks. I have read about the mystery updates happening despite disabling automatic updates.
I'll review the change logs, but Google doesn't usually list their "bugs" in the change logs...
The Bluetooth issues seem the typical phantom Android issues that come and go. There are the emoji and long press shortcuts that come with 7.1.1. That is about it, not much has changed.
So I don't think you need to update any time soon.

Weighing your options? You have 2 options, unlock or don't unlock. What's the dilemma? Ok, so here ya go. 50% say unlock and the other 50% say stay locked. Solved?

I am not asking advice about whether or not to unlock, just the differences/bugs/upgrades between these updates.

I understand that but you first need to decide if you're going to unlock or keep the bootloader locked. Because, at some point you "will" upgrade whether or not you are in a rush. I'm just not getting your dilemma. Google has resources which you can search that outline what has changed besides the security updates which you obviously should get. And as you know if you stay locked and update then you're stuck. So once again, your options are to lock or unlock not whether to update or not.

I wasn't 100 percent sure until your link, thanks. From the article:
"From what we’re seeing and hearing the February Android 7.1.1 Nougat update doesn’t actually have any other changes. There are no new features, bug fixes, or performance tweaks. This is simply a security update, like we can expect to see at the beginning of each month."

The problem is that Google doesn't exactly advertise or even admit to any bugs introduced in their updates, whether it's firmware or applications.

Very true, and Google doesn't disclose fixes much either. So all we can do is give the OP our opinion and experience. I have not seen any bugs fixed, or seen any introduced on my phone. So if he wants to wait while he decides on unlocking i dont think he is missing much. I stand by my advice.

But you selectively left out the important part.
Overall we spotted 35 changes to the February Nougat release. At least according to Google’s security blog and change log. That said, eight of them were considered “critical” and needed to be addressed right away.
It's ridiculous to wait. There are bug fixes, You just need to search for them. Personally I don't care what he does, but then he is taking a security chance. I think your advice is wrong. His choice.

Ahhh... I knew the name sounded familiar and it just clicked.
I like it a lot actually, battery life is amazing and that seems to be my major thing lately, most other things seem of less importance now days, but to be honest it has been a solid device going on 6 or 7 weeks now. It just works.

I agree. I have no complaints, and the battery life is crazy compared to the N5. Four days compared to nightly charges.
It's a solid device right now, and appears to more than equal the N5.
I'm on factory for the time being. I may try rolling my own, but this is a different ecosystem than the Nexus world.
Anyone in india got that update??
Another update? UGH! I guess it is going to be like this from now on.... Repetitive updates...
Still on -35 and getting -35-5 announcements. Still haven't even updated to -35-5, -35-67 showed up, now -35-83?
Is it still rootable? Are there FULL FW's so I can upgrade or do I need to upgrade to -35 and let it update to -83? Do I need to be on -35-67 before the -35-83 is capable of being installed?

You are the only person I know of that is complaining about Moto deploying too many updates. lol
BTW, if anyone is curious this only contains security updates as of August 1, 2017... It still shows as Vulnerable to the Blueborne vulnerability.

I didn't got any update?

Don't get me wrong, updates are great, but not if you are rooted and you have to go through a process to root then reconfigure the phone since it's not an OTA, you have to reflash a STOCK rom to allow OTA's, then you have to root (if possible, not sure if -83 is yet...) and then setup the phone the way you want it..

Huh... Why not wait and add the patch for BB? Odd... So the safest thing to do is to not even be using BlueTooth at all until it's patched? It's been 3 weeks right? 9-12 or was it 9-11 (what a coincidence)

Well... that's debatable... Although this vulnerability is real, the chances of being effected by it are so remote in most cases is so infinitesimally small that changing your usage habits probably isn't necessary.
Why the August one, probably because that is when they had is scheduled and it was nearly complete when the Sept update came out so they decided to just finish and release it anyway, why let the work go to waste. For Moto it is usually a couple months behind anyway.

My bad, I went out of sync with time for a min. It's AUGUST security the one on this -83 (not SEPTEMBER) so I am guessing there is another update coming!
Did you root your -67 (if you have -67?) My bootloader is already unlocked, do you know if Moto will eventually lock this (maybe Google forcing them to any time soon?)
Moto devs can unlock bootloaders and phone has ugly start image but other than that it all works as intended. (BTW, I am using SuperSU and BusyBox on my -35, not the Magisk root - I use Wifi Tether Router and doesn't work with Magisk)

Another update coming? I suppose, but since we just got this one I don't expect it for 3-4 months and that puts it in the timeframe of Oreo so this might be our last update to Nougat.
As far as the bootloader thing goes, I don't see Moto stopping this or actively blocking rooting, nor do I see Google doing this either.
I don't unlock or root anymore, just don't see the benefits.

+1. I'm on 43-5, a Verizon-exclusive update, and am not seeing an OTA. Chances are it's incompatible with my version and I'll have to reflash -35 and get the OTA. I'd suggest anyone else having this issue does as well. I'll report back as soon as I flash.

Have we reached end of "Android Version" updates?

As of this posting on 11/19 there has been no November update sent to the first gen Pixels Android Developers Image Page.
I know we are guaranteed security updates for the next 11 months, but I feel this is the beginning of the end. Does anyone have any experience with when the sun started to set on previous nexus devices?
Updates usually ends then announced date is reached. Zero Android updates after it. Not sure how huge and critical flaw must be to get an update after that.
They are working on it but there must be a bug they are trying to overcome.

Android 10 Release

Hi all.
Yesterday, I've got Android 10 on my Moto One Vision (Brazil Variant). But my wife and friends with he same device did not get it yet.
I"m wondering if the release is already official, or only for MFN members? I did register there, but did not receive any survey or anything like that yet (Like it happened with my old Moto G5 Plus).
Did anyone else got the update? If yes, how's your experience with it?
Can you post some screenshots of the version number etc?
I can't upload a screenshot right now, since i'm at work, and uploads are not allowed in the internal network (Sry). But below is the info on the About screen:
Android Version: 10
Android Security Patch Level: November 1, 2019
Google Play System Update: 2019-11-01
BaseBand Version: S337AP_KANE_SGCS_QB2594168
Kernel Version: 4.14.113-g0d0c343-dirty #1 Mon Nov 11
Build Number: QSA30.62
So far, it's been a good update.
Dark theme is great, also, the notifications are a lot better on this one (Divisions between Active and Silent Notifications, as well as the ability to "Seek" the music playing in Spotify via the notification itself).
Gestures navigation were weird in the first hour using them, but now, they make a lot of sense, and "feels natural" somehow.

What software channel are you using? Also available in About Info and it's very important
I think Android 10 closed beta testing has started by 26/11 for Brazil and India. At least that's what I've seen in tg group.
Yeah, confirmed on Lenovo Forums. Seems like the update is live for the ones that are on MFN only. I forgot i was registered (And did not get any email).

I hope and expect the final release to come in mid/late December. Would be a nice X-Mas gift
I'm from Brazil and I was not subscribed to mfn, I received the update yesterday, it's very good, very fast screen transition, but the app openings are a little slower, but I only have compliments so far, I'm finding it very good
Maintenance Release Notes for December says nothing about Android 10 but I guess we have to wait to be sure. Maybe they update pie first, then Android 10 at the end of the month.
Would be nice if it's stable enough to be released before the end of the year

As per the requirements for the testing, we should not be talking about the tests on anywhere else except the private MFN forums, let alone help download the update...
I own the third Moto phone. In the base of my previous experiences I guess the stable 10 will not come before the end. I guess any January/February. I would like to be wrong in this case

Question Updated To (13) Dev. Preview #2 & Lost Vo5G For Voice Calls!

Recently, when I decided to receive the OTA for 13 Dev Preview#2, among some of the changes from Tiramisu, or build #1, was my Pixel 6 Pro no longer had the feature Vo5G for voice calls.
This feature with it's own toggle used to reside at the bottom of the internet settings screen, right underneath the setting, "Allow 2G".
I did a beta feedback report on this, and will update this post when/if they find a solution for this issue. es

DP1 came out on the 2nd Thursday of February Android 13 Developer Preview 1 is here with themed icons, privacy changes, and more
DP2 came out on the 3rd Thursday of March Android 13 Developer Preview 2 arrives with notification permission requests and other changes
But March was when we had the late update for the Pixel 6/Pro as well (I think), so maybe that affected DP2.
More generally, here's the monthly plan for Betas, although it doesn't mention dates or particular Thursdays, probably because it's always tentative: Android 13 Developer Preview

Gotcha, makes sense now
This setting is controlled by the carrier setting. And yes, for T-Mobile specifically it was removed between DP1 and DP2.

"The first build was released on 2nd Thursday, the 10th of February. The second build was released the 3rd Thursday, the 17th of March. Due to the dirty pipe exploit and taking an average of the two dates of the month (roughly 13.5 day of the month (rounds up)), the build will almost certainly come out tomorrow, April 14, 2022."

DP1 came out on the 2nd Thursday of February Android 13 Developer Preview 1 is here with themed icons, privacy changes, and more
DP2 came out on the 3rd Thursday of March Android 13 Developer Preview 2 arrives with notification permission requests and other changes
But March was when we had the late update for the Pixel 6/Pro as well (I think), so maybe that affected DP2.
More generally, here's the monthly plan for Betas, although it doesn't mention dates or particular Thursdays, probably because it's always tentative: Android 13 Developer Preview

This setting is controlled by the carrier setting. And yes, for T-Mobile specifically it was removed between DP1 and DP2.

a magenta fan too, I take it? was that what you were looking for? If you need something different just let me know. es
The modem in DP2 is older and less refined than the newer builds of Android 12+.
This is not a modem issue as far as I've seen. It's possible that the early modems didn't support it, but the carrier config is the culprit here. There are clear differences between DP1 and DP2 where a flag that literally says vonr/vo5g is missing.
Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but replacing the DP2 one with the DP1 version doesn't seem to enable it. I was trying to adapt a magisk module to do that. But it's a little weird because sometimes the carrier configs are encoded and other times they are mostly plain text.
At least Google is acknowledging it.

Hey, I was just reading your comments, and yes, now, they are acknowledging the missing field. The first time I sent beta feedback on this issue was two weeks prior. They got everything from me, bug report, screen recordings from #1 & #2, as if "the before, and after" weight -loss ads! So a day or goes by, got the buginizer confirmation in my inbox, and I looked for the report filling in the beta feedback app grouped together with others I reported and the whole thing had been deleted, it wasn't anywhere! So I said fuc$ this shi#, I did the whole thing over again, even flashed back to DPB #1, to make sure Vo5G was still there! (lol) This time around, I made mention (several times) throughout my feedback report, that this first report seem to fall off of the radar, and could someone explain how & why, it had to be human error, blah, blah blah, & anyway this time around, it seems to be getting worked, but not vanishing into thin air. A friend of mine that I spoke to about this, got me in his mindset that this was maybe something that wasn't supposed to get out for public consumption until their Pixel 7 Series rollout, of course equipped with (stable) Android 13, and Vo5G Voice Calls included in their "Feature Blitz". To be honest, I'm still not so sure some of that isn't going on, as we all know both Google & Samsung been playing that shi# for years (because they can)!

hey, thanks for the hit. es
they better include that feature when they release android 13 for pixel 6 series, i currently dont even have voLTE which is extremely annoying, even when i have 2 sims installed, if I make a phone call it disconnects my data on both lines and I am unable to use internet at all, its making me want to switch to another phone.
Beta 1 still doesn't include this.

I heard it was omitted (not included) from DP#2 affecting only T-Mobile customers?! It may be just a rumor, others may be experiencing the same as us. I happy to learn we will see it again soon, next update or Android 13 Beta along with Face Unlock!

how did that happen...another of Google's attempts to get all the teams back under one roof, post-covid 19 style-ish, by bringing back the ever popular, "Bring Your Medical Marijuana To Work" week?! lol
The QPR modems have generally been the newest.
But with respect to Vo5G in particular, I'm not really sure where the carrier settings are being read from. Overwriting the protobuf files for T-Mobile doesn't seem to help.
