OK, so no different than Shamu. Usually I root and add custom recovery, but haven't felt the need yet with Pixel XL

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Golf c:
You would have to have an unlocked bootloader, like Shamu, but this device is nothing like anything before it. Lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cpetersen2791:
So, are you saying I need an unlocked bootloader to flash the factory image?

Good news about the beta...Google fixed the issue with RRO so it looks like substratum legacy support will theme the framework again...Only tested with stock dark theme but it works!

---------- Post added at 04:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 AM ----------

Yes you do...Otherwise, you have to enroll and let Google send you an ota
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Please mention which things are fixed/updated/enhanced exactly, from current stable, would like to know. At the same time will wait for final release all the same.

Since beta usually has some bugs in it, is it possible to find a way in beta version to unlock verizon pixel bootloader?

Im just hoping....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BakedTator:
I was thinking the same thing... Might be a chance for this without unlocked bootloaders to get unlocked
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:

It's really unbelievable that Google and HTC are having so much trouble keeping up with sales. My friend was annoyed with his iPhone last week because he ran out of storage and couldn't even load his email (yes I know this is hilarious and sad and would never happen to an Android user) so I convinced him to switch. He wanted the pixel but he would've been waiting till March!!

AdAway gives me a copying of hosts file failed error, prolly need to install a kernel for it to work properly.

Edit 1: Installed EX Kernel V1.03, installed fine but adaway still not installing fyi.

Edit 2: turns out I had an older or different version of AdAway APK, now it does work as you'll see below in the following comments
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lexcyn:
To get adaway to work go into preferences and enable systemless mode.

Can I sideload this being unlocked and not rooted? Do I sideload over current or is this a clean install thing?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goldenratio:
OTA images can be sideloaded without root or an unlocked bootloader. It's the same image that goes out to everyone over the air.

Factory images on the other hand require an unlocked bootloader and generally require you to wipe user data.

I've only been able to find the latter for 7.1.2 for Pixel so far.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mdonnelly1127:
So should I clean install this or sideload over the previous update ? Also this will keep unlock on the phone correct? As well as has anyone seen anything new or any improvements? Also will I have to sideload every beta update that comes out for this or can I OTA?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Same issue for me too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rampantandroid:
To make sure I understand this: I can flash the OTA update through TWRP, right? And I don't need to wipe my data first? Do I need to put the stock kernel back on first?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tiny4579:
Yep can't seem to reproduce it except at max volume.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] acheney1990:
I'm also on the beta and not seeing any issues so far.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Frankie1588:
Has anyone noticed the battery percentage not reporting accurately? I unplugged it at 7:00am and it is still showing 100%. That would be great of course, but highly doubtful haha. I am pretty sure it would go to 99% before immediately on unplugging.

EDIT: Just dropped to 99% almost 2 hours later haha...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c7j8d9:
I switched back to stock by reflashing the 7.1.1 image so I can get the beta ota. That worked to get the ota but I lost use of notifications, home button, recents. Googling the issue I found people have solved the problem by running the initial setup wizard. "adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardActivity" This doesn't work on Pixel XL. Any ideas how to run the setup wizard on Pixel?

nm found it here
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Beta running very well for me so far since last night. No issues to report of. Seems a little faster through menus and animations.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Battery life seems to be better for me. My Bluetooth is responds faster. I know this because I use Kevo to unlock my door. Usually it takes about 5-10 seconds once I stand next to the door for it to unlock. Now it takes less than 5 secs. Animation does seem a little quicker could just be a placebo effect. I had one random issue where my keyboard was open on the messaging apl and I tried typing but nothing registered. Had to close the app and reopen it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
So am in beta now.. 1- over all, i feel its much smother and faster, been few hours only, so its hard to judge. Finger print definitely faster in response, double tap to wake is also more accurate, didn't do any heavy lifting yet to judge that part 2- on of the apps (minor and not common) keeps crashing, not a problem to me 3- when the update was downloading, it was saying (new features including apps shortcuts and image keyboard and more), can anyone explain that? As i don't see any of that..!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Idk if I just haven't been on Google play store in awhile, but when you view an app you can swipe now... Haha, sorry if that's old news but for me it's new :P screenshot below of me swiping.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pimfram:
Same issue here. I actually installed it over my custom kernel, TWRP, and root and it worked fine at first but after a reboot lost nav bar, notification shade, data connection, and other stuff. Disappointing it'll need to be a format but it is what it is. I can limp on Wi-Fi and a crippled phone until I can get it fixed.

To anyone reading this, is me returning to stock necessary or can I just do a factory reset to be able to update?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c7j8d9:
Don't need to format to fix. Read Post #5 Worked perfect!

In Car Bluetooth Changes

For anyone wondering about changes to Bluetooth that affect in-car connectivity, I can confirm there have been some. I never had connectivity issues in my 2015 Volvo V60, calls, streaming an even the signal bar on the car's screen worked properly, however on the TEL screen it would not display the carrier name and would simply say "No Service Emergency calls only" that is fixed with 7.1.2 and now displays EE. If anyone were having difficulty with other features, updating may be worth a shot.

I am on the Beta OTA, My carrier is VZW. I noticed that a few people were reporting better battery life I seem to be having poor battery life any suggestions?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Give it a few days to settle. I think those people were just being overly excited. Maybe shut the phone off and charge over night with a fresh reset.

I have used the beta for 2 days on Verizon as well, not really noticing and better or worse battery life honestly.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Trooper27:
Oddly enough no. I tried to go back to 7.1.1 and it still has not hit my phone. I am on VZW with a locked bootloader so I can't flash back to 7.1.1.

I tried to sideload the OTA file for it with adb and that failed. So basically, I am in limbo right now.

After waiting 3 - 4 days for the OTA to rollback to hit, I gave up and just flashed back to 7.1.1 using the stock image. Unfortunately for someone with a Verizon phone that isn't unlocked, you have to frustratingly wait for the OTA to be pushed.

Wonder why it takes so long for the OTA to be pushed for rollback, though...When I signed up for the beta the 7.1.2 OTA popped up literally a minute later.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xdatastic:
Google in the past beta\previews haven't specifically issued the monthly security updates. If any new beta builds are released then they bundle the latest security updates in it. To my knowledge, Google haven't promised any further beta updates to 7.1.2 until final release.

It is worth noting that the build date of the 7.1.1 Feb security updates is same day as the current beta:

7.1.2\NPG05E

ro.build.date=Fri Jan 13 19:27:17 UTC 2017

7.1.1\NOF26V

ro.build.date=Fri Jan 13 03:24:11 UTC 2017

It is possible that NPG05E already includes the Feb 2016 security patches but the string hasn't been updated. Purely speculation though as the source cannot be checked as beta branches are not released to AOSP.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tiny4579:
The kernel commit shorthand ID for the 7.1.2 beta is 98c3e53. It is the number after the g in the kernel version under about phone.

Can someone confirm the ID for the 7.1.1 build with the Feburary security updates? This is one way to potentially see if the security updates were bundled but not a guarantee especially if none of the security updates are kernel changes.

hi all, apologize in advance if i ask noob q's or if these q's r posted elsewhere...

i have a vzn pixel xl

rooted via twrp/supersu

running 7.1.1

i received a notice for an ota system update

q's:

1) am i correct to assume this is 7.1.2 (tho i dont recall signing up for the beta prgm)

2) if i take this ota update, bootloader will NOT relock

3) if i take this ota update, then i will lose root and all data

4) if i flash 7.1.2 image via fastboot and remove the -w from the flash file, then i will lose root but keep data

5) overall, do ppl recommend taking the 7.1.2 beta update?

much thx in advance :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_shadow:
1. not sure, should say

2. no bootloader will not lock

3. yes lose root, not data loss

4. yes lose root, no data loss

i attached a screenshot of the update notice. doesnt specify wut the update is?

thx again sd

can i not take the ota update and flash this via the standard fastboot method?

For the first few days I had fine battery life. Seemed to be slightly better than before the 7.1.2 update, but then I learned that my phone isn't reporting battery percentages correctly. The last two nights, my phone has died early.

I've been using the phone, and I get to 15% and see the battery saver notification come up. Within a minute of the notification, the screen goes black and the phone is off. When I plug the phone in it shows 0% and won't turn on until I've plugged it in.

I'm running entirely stock from the Google store on Verizon. No bootloader unlock or root. Anyone else notice this issue?
