It would however great if there is at least an option for sending a "missed call" message.

So no bluetooth, because you left the phone in the house a few rooms too far away, but still trigger on the s3.

And also for other messages. I do not seem to get them either.

Tested with just bluetooth switched of on the phone.

When I use the messaging app on the watch I can read them via wifi.

Huib
[Samsung Gear S3] reglaspv:
On old Gear S, after BT disconnect, the watch is connected with the phone via Samsung account.

Because there is a sim involved, the Gear app redirect the calls to the watch number but all the notifications, SMS, WhatsUp, etc are relayed to the watch via Samsung account.

This is the part I don't understand in S3 .. if the phone and watch are connected via wifi, why the notifications are missing?

Fine, there is no voice even if they advertised something about a voice app which does not exist, but notifications?
[Samsung Gear S3] arf8:
I think i know why the voice call app is not released. This watch has a horrible wifi connectivity issue. I found this bug out and reported it to Samsung developer forum hoping for a fix. While the watch does report "Connected" all the time when you are connected via wifi.

I setup a few tests a foot away from my router without any other devices on the 2.4GHz network to saturate it. I noticed there was constant timeouts, this explained why trying to use the Gear Watch Designer to load a new watch face took so many retries. Sure enough the Wifi connection is anything but stable and worthless if you ask me with the constant timeouts.
[Samsung Gear S3] herpi:
A small app that only sends a "missed call" message via Wifi would already be mothers little helper.

BTW I understood that Bluetooth 5 has a far larger range?

Huib
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
Think of bluetooth as a euphemism for "connected at the hip". Whether its a keyboard, headset, stylus, watch, or other gadget, if it works via bluetooth it's only designed to operate within a few feet of the mothership. If you don't want to carry your phone on you everywhere, get the LTE version of the watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] calinormy:
You can try find my car from galaxy apps.

Yes, it has 4x range!!!
[Samsung Gear S3] pulseur:
hummmmm...always a problem somewhere with this watch : or it doesn't work if non stock roms, or does'nt want to connect to samsung account using wifi (but the samsung account says it is !)....a little bit tired about that !!! even if i looove this watch !
[Samsung Gear S3] lacmac:
I have 2 different WiFi routers. I connected my watch h to one and my phone to the other. I also turned off Bluetooth.

I used a different phone to make a call to my phone, it did not ring but i received a missed call notification on the watch , I could receive sms and whatsapp messages and can reply to them.

The only thing I couldn't do was make and receive a phone call from the watch.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scloutkst:
Edit 2: speculation be damned. This seems to be a true release build and not a leaked developer preview like has been hypothesized. Flagged REL for a release build. https://imgur.com/uU0bR2S

THIS IS FOR PIXEL XL ONLY OF COURSE. November 22nd OTA Build NPF26J

Includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. New Modem and Kernel. Kernel updated to include Double Tap To wake and Lift to Wake. May be other features. Don't know.

https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../09c7f402fd047c0d631fdd6c4168c934d3b9451b.zip

Pulled from Reddit thread.

Edit: Apparently you have to be on V build before flashing.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
This will only work from the V build FYI
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
So this won't install on the VZW Pixel XL with NDE63X? I'd have to installed NDE63V first?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
Yup, I'm locked so I'll just wait for the rollout.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dnyc:
I got the update message on mine but I'm rooted. Can I accept the download or do I have to do it a different way?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
What build are you currently on?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
It won't work on root, what build are you on currently?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lightning413:
I believe the update has to be sideloaded with adb on rooted phones.

adb sideload update.zip
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
It will fail, you cannot OTA on a rooted phone
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lightning413:
Thank you, I thought I read it somewhere but can't find out where.

I'm not going to update anyway, perfectly happy with the way the phone is running with ElementalX kernel and don't want to mess it up
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
Will there be an update for the NDE63X build eventually or will we have to roll back to the V build?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mjc2251:
I bought my pixel from Google but use on Verizon. My phone is running NDE63X. Should I be on V? Anybody else purchase from Google and run on Verizon that can confirm their build for me?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
Are you on the V or X build currently?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] markp99:
Pixel XL, Google Play Store, Verizon as carrier: NDE63X (unlocked & rooted)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lightning413:
I'm on V
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dnyc:
I'm on v. I'll do the adb method. Thanks. Root will still work afterwards?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
Won't work and no
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scloutkst:
I couldn't flash until I was fully stock. Had to flash full system image without the wipe command before i could flash ota.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scloutkst:
any phone with a verizon sim will get verizon builds which should be x. You can flash to v if you want to without harm.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
So what's the easiest way to go from the X build to the NPF26J build?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Yes you do.

Did you try unplugging and replugging while in recovery, at ADB sideload?

Might also be worth rebooting your PC...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] le0.br4zuc4:
I did restarted the computer, unplugged and plugged back in while in adb sideload. Updated drivers...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Two alternative drivers, if you haven't already tried them:

Has anyone in the USA received this OTA? Or is everyone just sideloading?

I'm fine with sideloading. But still can't tell if Google really intended this to be out there for everyone or not.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
FWIW: does it really matter? I'm on Fi and this build works really well. It's great having the dttw and wake on pick up. Absolutely no downside that I've seen.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AmesCell:
Yes and no. On this phone I'm fine with flashing an OTA. But I just wanted to stay that way on being able to get OTA updates. It's like my low hassle and no downtime phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FSOP:
Looking forward to this coming over to the UK, will have to wait for the official OTA here though
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveHTC200:
Why not just flash it manually?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
I am on the fence with flashing. As I understand it, this was developed for Canadian variants to address LTE band specific issues. Just so happens that they added the double tap and screen awake features that everyone else wants. Haven't seen anyone post negative feedback on the build yet.

My hope is that in the next week or so when they release November security updates we might have the additional features as well. Dont know yet how it will effect updates and how you would get them. I have seen people with unlocked phones get different OTA versions. Seen an unlocked version with Verizon SIM car get the Verizon OTA.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FSOP:
As above I'd rather wait another week or so and get the proper region OTA, although looking at the build numbers it seems to be the same region zip.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveHTC200:
That's fair enough!! I took the plunge in sunny Wales on o2 and thankfully no issues found, and better battery life so fingers crossed when it's rolled out fully it'll be a welcomed release!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FSOP:
Excellent, I'm looking forward to it even more now
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mafatbhai:
I am on Verizon version of Pixel with Verizon sim and have unlocked BL and stock image.

I received an OTA update but I killed the phone before it went through.

I am wondering if anyone receive any OTA update yesterday. ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Smallsmx3:
What build were you on? X?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
I have not. Just checked as well.

What Version are you currently on? X or V?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neilrl79:
Why did you "...kill the phone before it went through."? Your bootloader is already unlocked so taking the OTA would not be a problem for you.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] OnlinePredator:
My experience so far with this update. I am in Australia fyi.

DT2W is great, kinda unreliable for me. GPS accuracy has dropped significantly and also quite laggy in maps where is wasn't before. I will be reverting.

Bluetooth is still as dodgy as before.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cantsingh:
trying to do adb sideload ota.zip but I get "Could not find Meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary" in console... any ideas?

figured it out - had to use the sideload in stock recovery, not the adb sideload mode in twrp.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FSOP:
Anyone in the UK had this yet?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Strange. GPS accuracy has been fine. And no lag in maps (or anything else) for me. I wonder why it's good for some and not others?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ssgtob1:
Wish I could flash this. When I do adb sideload update.zip, from minimal adb, the phone says verifying update but the command line immediately says error reading command. :( No help when searching the interwebs either. Using Windows 10 and on V.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
I wouldn't bother with this update anymore. 7.1.1 is now live. You can download the OTA or factory image from the google developers site.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kolyan:
Anyone flash NMF26O over Npf26j ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ssgtob1:
Thanks! Downloading now!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kulwinder baidwan:
thank you
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Yes. No problem.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jnrandall:
Really? I've had nothing but problems and hasn't happened yet. Going to relax, take a beat and try again. I'm no expert but I've been flashing, sideloading, rooting, etc since the Nexus 1. I've been flashing the OTAs on my non-rooted Pixel XL without any issues as well. Well, back at it now.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Maybe we both need to be more specific. My XL is currently 100% stock with unlocked bootloader. I had no problem with ADB sideload of NMF26O over NPF26J
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jnrandall:
I will try that on my XL, 100% stock with locked bootloader. Will unlock and attempt sideload, then relock. :cool:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
For God's sake don't relock! You'll never be able to unlock it again. if you are on a Verizon device

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Additionally, unlocking your bootloader won't help you with ADB sideload problems. Most likely it's a Windows driver issue.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Smallsmx3:
What did you rename the file to?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jnrandall:
LOL, I'm good now. And re-locked bootloader. Not a VZW user. Pre-ordered my directly from Google on 10/4. I believe it was an SDK issue. I reinstalled the SDK which added some 7.1.1 stuff and it also required the latest Java Runtime environment to be installed. Then I was able to flash-all from the bootloader.

Thanks for the assist and lending an ear! :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kinetx:
currently on npf26j on my XL, rooted, bootloader unlocked, twrp installed

to update to nmf26o do i need to flash stock factory image for nde63v, sideload the ota (marlin-ota-nmf26o-54bb505e.zip), then boot/flash twrp and root?

sorry for the noob questions
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DIXZ06:
Yes.

I flashed the v build OTA from the U build via adb ( I was rooted and had custom kernel). Will the same method definately not work if I use adb to flash this new build? (I'm rooted with elemental). Cheers.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jwenthold:
I was rooted and twrp'd, reflashed stock image without wiping, installed update via adb sideload, reinstalled twrp, su, and elemental, no issues other that the double tap does not work. Lift to wake seems to work
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tw1tch175:
Double tap is in the kernel so elemental will have to update to add support.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
Did you have to set everything up again? How do you install the stock V image without wiping?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] humdrum2009:
Let the devs dig into this first of root and unlocked bootloader is important.

This is a large update add I thought it would be.

Something sneaky is in here.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveHTC200:
Based on what evidence?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] humdrum2009:
The evidence of the fact the guys whom created depixel 8.

Said don't except updates until they have been checked out.

And assured us bootloader relock was coming sooner or later.

They even shared how it was done with Google.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
I assume at 281MB that it might also have an updated modem. A few suggested that it fixed LTE band issues for Canada networks.

Hopefully this update with these features are released soon OTA to everyone else.

I don't think this is a legit release. It's the same as the Dev preview builds that are coming out for Nexus devices. Except it's J not F... I'm sure that it's more updated than what were running but I think it was a mistake
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zyxxeil:
You either have to have your bootloader unlocked to flash the V image (then update from there) or have changed you sim card prior to an update. As others have mentioned if you have a Verizon sim card at the time of update it will update it with the Verizon variant, but if you have any other sim card it it will update to the other variant. In my case I bought my Pixel XL through Verizon and immediately changed the sim card to a T-Mobile one and it prompted me to update to V variant (About 1.1GB in size).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
You need to update your fastboot/adb drivers. That's what the "FAILED (remote: partition [boota] doesn't exist)" means. You can update these drivers from the SDK Manager tool that installed with the Android SDK Suite.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] siddhesh.raikar:
Using the latest minimal adb and fastboot.. I'll try getting the android sdk one and see what happens..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
Bootloader is unlocked and I'm on the X build. How do I flash the V build without wiping?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Follow the adb sideload procedure (THIS WILL NOT ERASE DATA) to get the other build:

Please reboot to the bootloader (Hold Power and Volume Down while powering on the phone)

Use the volume keys and choose recovery

At the No Command screen hold power and while holding power press and hold volume up for about 5 seconds, let go of volume up and power and it should take you to recovery.

At the top it will give you the Build number Example: NDE63X

Go https://developers.google.com/android/ota and download the OTA that matches your build number

Copy the zip file to the same folder ADB is in

Choose Update from ADB in recovery

Open command prompt on your pc

enter:

adb sideload name_of_ota.zip

Replace name_of_ota with the correct file name.

And make sure your ADB is up to date with the Android SDK Manager!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveHTC200:
As their the OTA links it won't have the -w in as by default it won't erase your data. The full packages will however

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickfury:
I dont understand how this particular OTA is working. I am the 63V firmware, rooted, no twrp. I can still sideload the 63V firmware via the adb sideload command again ( which obviously brings the system to stock state ie removes root ). But when i try to sideload the 26J firmware it gives me an error code 20.... something about kDownloadStateInitialisation error

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cwalker0906:
So I'm wonder if whole system has to be stock. Flar said he flashed boot a and b and was fine. I don't think anyone really knows how these work yet, but say it copied to a at some point and you just flashed b then would it detect it? I don't know just throwing out theories
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
Correct. That's what I have

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

FWIW, on Nexus 6, boot and system had to be stock to flash an incremental OTA like this. Indoor in SuperSU left a few files laying around that would cause an incremental OTA to fail. Also would only work with stock recovery. This feels the same, FWIW....
