[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] 911medic:
As I asked in the other thread on this topic, these are "Android O Developer Preview" images. Are they the same as what will be rolling out, starting today?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
DP images were opp1 to opp4. These are release images, opr6.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Simer03:
He's right. I have opp4 in my computer as the latest...these are new!
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] 911medic:
OK. When I went to download it, I was still prompted with "Before downloading the system image for the Android O Developer Preview, you must agree to the following terms and conditions."

Was just curious, because of that.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] blaze9090:
Got the ota, its just about 38mb small. Can there be so many changes in such a small package??
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
That's the OTA from DP4 to official build.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] vansmack:
I just signed up for the Beta program and they gave me OPR6.

Much easier than sdk and flashing....
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaadragonfire:
Doesn't it wipe everything on your phone ?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] oxfordmark:
Just got OTA from DP4
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] vansmack:
No.

But now i have OPR6 and it's downloading an additional 938.4mb file, which is maybe the final?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] mefinsf:
Not if you register for the Beta, no, since it treats it as an update. If, however, you Unregister for the Beta (i.e., revert to Nougat), then your phone will be wiped, as it will if you apply the factory image from the Android 8.0 System Images page .
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] behzad.bz:
Please let us know the difference after installing this new 938 MB update
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] smackdownn:
any updates on the battery life or camera or anything else.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] behzad.bz:
Please let us know the difference after grab that new update
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] vansmack:
A build number increase. The first file I received was OPR6.170623.011

And the new 938mb file is OPR6.170623.012.

There is also a different baseband number but the kernel is the same.

EDIT: Leaving the below link, but it's confirmed as garbage. Looks like Google sent out a bad OTA and they're retracting it now. :|

From OPP4:

https://ota.googlezip.net/packages/.../80cafb69c50be0fb6ed197998bd7434b26155355.zip

Note: While my device got the OTA update notification, it's refusing to actually update to that build, complaining about a manifest mismatch - so YMMV on this link.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nocturnal86:
did you flash the system image and do that, and over what version did you flash?

I'm looking to do this from 7.1.2, but wasnt sure if it would work, or how to do it properly. Any help in how you do it would be appreciated!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I've been on oreo for a week.

But let's give some perspective on your idea of how long someone should wait for battery life to normalize...

How is flashing a new build of Android any different from me clean flashing a security update from N? Like a full image.

In both cases my system was clean.

So why in the world would Oreo be special? I never experienced this kind of battery life on N, new flash and all. Is there a blog post somewhere detailing a special Grace period that we should be expecting to give Oreo? Or maybe the battery is just crap..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] awakenedwithin:
Pot calling the kettle black. It's been like this since beta.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Right, it's been more than a week and I was expecting a bit more from O. Like I said, after a clean flash, without using battery draining apps, I'm still not even close to the 8 hours of screen time I used to get from day 1,

aside from that, I'm still not getting used to the white theme,

the Assistant also feels a little worse now (keeps forgetting that I use the metric system, often replies with "I can search that for you" or "I can't do that yet"),

GMail notifications are delayed again and it usually just shows them after I unlock the phone,

double tapping the screen when the display is off used to show the notification content, now it only displays the time and the app icon ((we used to be able to wake the phone, unlock it and re-lock it (thanks to the Nova double tap gesture) just by tapping one finger on the screen, which was awesome)),

picture in picture mode doesn't really work, only with a paid subscription to YouTube Red in a few countries,

and I'm not really seeing much of what the big G was talking about at the I/O this year. All those features that were supposed to be released "later this year" apparently will be released with the Pixel2 instead of with O, if at all. Where's the awesome AR and AI stuff they were showing for example?

Just getting the feeling that Google really doesn't seem to improve Android annually as they used to do. This feels so much more like a weird 7.2 than an 8.

And for the ones who think that I'm being entitled and acting out because I want my money's worth for a phone that cost me a thousand bucks and that seems to get worse after less than a year with an upgrade that was supposed to make things better, then you have a right to feel that way and point that out but I know I'm not alone in this.

It's not like I'm talking about and indie developer here and complaining that a video game is too hard. Google is one of the biggest companies in the world and they claim to have the best of the best working on this stuff, but they seem more like hooli from HBO's silicon valley nowadays to me. :D

Android O is a jOke. The biggest success of this version of Android will be the rising sales of Oreo cookies for a couple of weeks. And the fact that the music notifications now take their color style from the album cover, I really like that. That's the best feature so far. :D
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] awakenedwithin:
Only issue I seem to have is the battery drain.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Those who are having battery problems might wanna try this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...e_play_services_apk_if_youre/#bottom-comments

I personally haven't done it, mine is still older 440 version and I am getting decent to good backup on Oreo, at least nothing to complain about at all given the superb smooth performance I see, but still for those who are having really bad problem might try it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
I have had pretty good battery life since upgrading to O. When the phone is not in use I have roughly 1 percent an hour which is what I had on N. When I use the device it seems to drain normally. I am interested to see if the whole "use a different play services" will improve battery life??
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Thanks for finding this and pointing it out here! Just updated it. Will report back. :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] speedingcheetah:
Already have the 940 version on my phone the link to in that...that's the current stable version it seems. I recall right after the O update installed the Play Store popped up and updated that app.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Did that earlier this week, didnt change anything for me
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Can't complain about battery backup on Oreo.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
How come your mobile data is x'ed out
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
Alright, doesn't seem to help with the update to the play services. And regarding that Screenshot you posted, that's about 4 hours of screen time. It should be twice as much.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Funny how Google sells this by talking about even more optimizations and battery improvements (just like they do every year, remember all that talk of butter) and when it doesn't pan out that way you have people apologizing for it.

Sorry I'm not a Google apologist. I am a consumer. They pay lawyers to defend their honor. Submit your feed back, hopefully google will notice. I mean that is what got the Bluetooth fixed. Right guise...guuuuuuissse right?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] speedingcheetah:
Thats nice technical babble...but most users don't care about under the hood.:p They just want it to perform as advertised...and its not. ..yet. Looks good on paper...but yes...it takes time for them to refine such radical changes.

Either way...I still hate the new O look....how the freaking hell hard is it to include a simple toggle to make the OS light or dark themed. And not be able to dismiss the annoying persists Background app notification (seriously?! ) Only positive thing i got from O is LDAC support over BT...but lost PowerAmps ability to use HiFi USB DAC support...not much hope of an update for the app to fix it since it seems abandoned app the latest version is a apha build done just as N came out.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] paco8:
[youtube]FCVMvvXHqxU[/youtube]

This is so hilarious when I think about it now. Thanks!

I guess I'll just wait for PA to release an O build. Until then, I'm using my BlackBerry. At least that phone is capable of notifying me when I get an email right away.

:D
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
LoL what? I am on WiFi, why would I unnecessarily keep the LTE on!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I don't get what's so funny. The question was asked because it helps everyone here to know what state the device is in when someone posts a screen shot of "great battery" but gives no other details.

Great example being on wifi all day isn't the typical use case for most people. Frankly if I was only able to get 4 sot hours only on wifi I would call that below par battery considering I can get six hours sot using the mobile radios all day on N. Thanks for sharing either way.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
A screenshot captures only the screen of the moment you capture. So LoL again for thinking that I was on WiFi most of the time. My usage is about 50-50 for LTE and WiFi, and this was no different.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
All the more reason to clarify, just further proves my point. What good is a screen shot and no detail. :svetius:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
What was your point at first place? Lol sorry for not reading all the posts, no time really. Same reason I only posted the SoT section and didn't bother to post anything else.

In any case, at first I was certain that backup is worse than Nougat, but now after 10 days, I'm not so sure.

Wikipedia --> Analytics RisksThe main risk for the people is discrimination like price discrimination or statistical discrimination. See Scientific American book review of "Weapons of math destruction"

There is also the risk that a developer could profit from the ideas or work done by users, like this example: Users could write new ideas in a note taking app, which could then be sent as a custom event, and the developers could profit from those ideas. This can happen because the ownership of content is usually unclear in the law.[14]

If a user's identity is not protected, there are more risks; for example, the risk that private information about users is made public on the internet.

In the extreme, there is the risk that governments could gather too much private information, now that the governments are giving themselves more powers to access citizens' information.

If I flash the TMO factory image on an unlocked Verizon Pixel, will that effectively convert it to a regular Google Pixel?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] toknitup420:
No. A regular Google pixel from Google can be bootloader locked and unlocked at will. Flashing a different build doesn't change that for the Verizon variant.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You have to plug into a computer to flash the image anyways since and OTA wont work. That said while you are plugged and flashing the flash all. bat, just flash twrp again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
You can't flash TWRP on O. You can boot to it and install SU, but you can't flash TWRP permanently. And you cant flash O without wiping out your existing TWRP.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JU57US:
Do you know if this is a permanent thing, or a "Team Win needs more time to make a flashable recovery option because Oreo is still so new" thing?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheerfulcharlie:
So after I upgrade to O, if I want to make a Nandroid backup, I'll have to "fastboot boot twrp.img" and make my Nandroid backup from that booted twrp? (and conversely, if I want to recover a previous Nandroid backup), we are supposed to do that from our "fastboot boot twrp.img"?)

(not the permanently installed one since we can't permanently install twrp anymore?)

Can anyone confirm this?

Background: I am running Pixel XL and I can confirm that I was not able to get twrp installed again after upgrading to O even though I followed all the usual steps. I was able to use the modded twrp here (https://goo.gl/7D23rH) but even using that, I couldn't get twrp to permanently install, regardless of whether I was installing the latest RC1 or RC2).

That's very strange, I'm on OPR6.170623.012 pixel XL and just received a ota update 50.6mb, the strange thing is that the drop notification saying that is an update for version 7.1.2. anyone's got the same?

Plus, can't find any September ota on developers Google page.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xdatastic:
The OTA is actually for OPR3.170623.007 despite the notification saying 7.1.2

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelbsheldon:
FWIW, I've had zero luck restoring a TWRP backup done either by booting TWRP from bootloader with 'fastboot boot twrp.img' or with an installed TWRP recovery on phone. Either the phone can't connect with network or it starts as if it had been factory reset.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cheerfulcharlie:
Yeah, I tried and failed to restore a TWRP Nandroid backup from bootloader with 'fastboot boot twrp.img' -- My device simply got stuck on the boot screen. Since I couldn't get to TWRP at all after that (even with twrp.img from the bootloader), I couldn't tell my phone to boot up from the other slot (where my previous good system was installed instead of the current F-upped slot). So, my only solution at that point was to install the existing factory image (but without the wipe flag to preserve my userdata) over my existing system in the other non-F-upped slot, thus forcing my phone to boot to that other slot again. Happily, this got my previous system up and running before my attempted Android O installation.

But, I am concerned about your statement that you have trouble restoring TWRP backups using the installed TWRP (as opposed to twrp.img booted from the bootloader). This sounds very troubling. Have other people been having this problem?

DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING,

OR AT LEAST DO NOT BLAME ME WHEN YOU PHONE STARTS ON FIRE

- Started with 8.0 August, SU rooted with SUHide on TMO

(working Substratum, Adaway and Android Pay)

- Downloaded September Factory Image

marlin-opr1.170623.026-factory-1ed9b4b2.zip

- Unzip factory image to \marlin-opr1.170623.026\

- Removed the -W from the FlashAll.bat

- Copy \platform-tools\ folder to \marlin-opr1.170623.026\ (so you have adb & fast boot in same folder as flash-all.bat)

- Connect Pixel to PC USB

- open command prompt in \marlin-opr1.170623.026\

- check you can see the pixel

adb devices

- Boot the device into bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

- Run the Flash-All.bat (phone will reboot several times)

- Once done it will reboot to system

If you want root, re-root again the same as before, works fine...
