I had that problem but I was rooted. Did you ever flash root or TWRP? You should be able to sideload it.

Do i need to install the january patch on nougat and after flash oreo beta 3?

I read this on reddit
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jahdiel2011:
I will try to sideload it. Is the Sam OTA available for download on Essential's site?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
Oreo Beta 3 includes the January patch as well as fixes for Spectre and Meltdown.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
Yikes. Sorry man.

I hope you can get it back.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Yup, it really sucks. Seems something is running in the background as it's still warm for hours even when unplugged from the charger but nothing turns on no matter what I did. Have filed a request to have the phone replaced. Back to my old phone for now. Realised how much faster the 835 based device is compared to my old 801 based device.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JoRocker:
I'm having a similar issue. I take the phone out of my pocket and it's hot. It's not using much more battery, but it's still troublesome...

My phone should be unlocked tonight or tomorrow. The fact that they're starting to sell their chargers as as an accessory makes me think they're trying to dump stock or stretching for Revenue... I have a bad feeling about this phone now. I'll probably sell this phone while it's still worth something, make a couple hundred dollars profit, and get something else.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
I hope that is not the case but rather that they're offering the chargers for people who might want to have additional chargers at work or something. Google does sell their Pixel chargers on their web store too.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stryver:
Have you tried plugging in to a PC? You might still be able to save it...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] phidung3721:
I had something similar happened to me at least once. I would let it run out of juice. Then the next time you plug it in the charger try to put it in bootloader immediately. See if that works.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
This solution worked for me previously a couple years back on my HTC device. Didn't seem to work on my PH1 unfortunately.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
I think you're stretching for conclusions. Samsung sells chargers as accessories and it means nothing. Oh and Apple too. Also, if it's any consolation, the chargers are very good so having a couple of them around wouldn't hurt in general.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Yup, nothing recognized at all. Phone's screen is still blank and simply becomes warm after plugging in for a few minutes. Sure looks like its dead. Left it to drain overnight and it's cold. Only shows red LED when power button is pressed. Then plugged into the PC for about 30 minutes, it's simply warm but no reaction at all from the device. I have a feeling the only thing I can do is to get the unit replaced which is a real bummer.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stryver:
Sorry to hear that. I hope things work out ok for you. I'm sure in time, essential will improve everything. Hang in there. ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
it's a sinking feeling.... already filed for a replacement. let's see how responsive their support is.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] phidung3721:
It took about a week for me to receive my replacement after putting in a support ticket. I think Essential changed the bootloader in the lastest beta. Suddenly, fastboot doesn't work anymore. Fastboot see the phone, but no command can be get through.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Is that so? I probably should not go to O3 for my replacement then?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] phidung3721:
I didn't flash the zip through twrp. I sideloaded with stock recovery. People flashed the zip through twrp have no problem. So I don't know.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfhelm:
So anyone on Beta 3 still seeing Sprint come up for a few seconds after reboot after it loads the SIM prior to flipping to your actual network, it appears my post here is still relevant, at least for Verizon. Other carriers may see the same, but the steps may be slightly different (such as updating your PRL)

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfu11:
I went back to OB2, when I tried 3 and did the dialer trick upon first reboot it hung on sprint for about 20 sec and downloaded the my sprint app by itself. I don't understand how this is happening with a Verizon SIM in it. I can't wait until LOS 15.1 gets sound trigger and LTE. I will be hopping off the stock ROM as quick as I can. On the custom ROMs all the sprint crap is removed..... I didn't wait the 50 days and I don't want my phone relocked. At least on OB2 I know I'm safe lol.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cz9h3d:
Wow. I did the over the air update this morning without a second thought. No issues today that I've seen.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Which zip did you flash? I am going to attempt it after I get my replacement
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] phidung3721:
The one from essential's website. You can flash it in recovery like a normal zip.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Alright. Shall do that. Hope it flashes both slugs
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] argrr101:
Do you guys think that going from Beta 3 to the official Oreo release will require (or would it be recommended) a factory reset? Holding off on flashing the beta because I don't want to set up my phone only to have to do it again a few weeks later.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NaterTots:
Personally I think the final Oreo build will be OTA available to the Beta builds
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
I don't think factory reset would be needed especially if your phone would be upgraded from Android 8 to 8 anyway, unless there are issues which could require factory reset. When I sideloaded Oreo beta 2 to my Android 7.1.1, I didn't have to do factory reset, but I just decided to do and see if it will make performance of the device any better.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
I am seeing noticable hiccups when upgrading from 7.1.1 to Beta 3. Going to factory reset when I have the chance. Its getting really annoying.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] knift:
After upgrading from beta 2 to beta 3, the LINE in-calling can't pickup. The accept and reject icon are gone, and I can't do anything during LINE call coming. Don't want to back to beta 2, hope the official one will be released soon.

Anyone else's screen just randomly turning on while charging?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Not at all. Got a random boot while I was the car
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondDave98:
Did ota update to OB3 last week. Over the weekend I got some random reboots culminating in about 30 minutes of infinite boot loop which somehow just self corrected. The touch screen issues of random presses and unresponsiveness have pushed me to look for a new device. Sorry Essential, I guess I just expect a bit more for $500
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] phidung3721:
Dude it's a beta, treat it like a beta. Do a factory reset, problem should be gone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DiamondDave98:
The touch screen problems have been happening since 7.1. Three factory resets later for other things haven't corrected it. Return/replacement isn't an option anymore so I'm stuck with this device for the time being unfortunately.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
This is Android community and to my surprise we as Android users seem to like experimenting with our devices :) Get ourselves into prototype device where much works needs to be done to polish the product. In other words it seems that we have free time to spare. Customers of other "mobile platform(won't name it), don't experiment, mostly don't test, don't wait for any OTAs - they just live their lives. But in reality, I understand what you are going through. :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rahuuler:
Looking forward to buying this phone, since now the Oreo update is implemented.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
Mine does this. In my case I have only noticed this when I'm charging in the car with the device in the cradle. I think the accelerometer may be too sensitive or not quite tuned right when lift to wake is on. I didn't test disabling lift to wake but I have no other explanation. I haven't seen this issue when charging at home with the phone lying flat.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
I have that switched off cause yeah it's too sensitive. charging for my phone seems to be a chore anyway tbh the past few nights it's just stopped charging at like 91% I had to pull the cable and put it back in to charge again and the charging status jumps all the time from rapid to normal to slow over and over. This status changing is on Nougat on Oreo it doesn't but the charging stopping thing does.

Honestly I think I might be because of the chargers i'm using? but not too sure. Someone suggested I buy one from amazon an Aukey one as that'll be perfect so I might get that and see what the deal is.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
I have noticed that it stops charging too. My nightstand is hooked up to a Samsung fast charger, and initially I didn't have any issues. As of Beta 3 I am waking up to a phone that's not charged. This does not happen with the stock charger from what I've seen. I will have to do some more detailed testing on this and report it to Essential. Back on topic of the phone waking up, perhaps I should try disabling lift to wake and see if the screen comes on the same way in my car.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] zswielder:
Ever since I installed Oreo beta, my phone can't get mobile data to work at all. I've tried all the advanced settings without any luck. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
It's been working perfectly for me. You might want to do a full network some reset.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ~~Tito~~:
For those of you who cant really afford to factory reset, try clearing any and all caches you might have had. I came from 7.1.1, and after clearing the system and app caches things are running smoothly again. What sucks about coming to Oreo is you can't clear everything at once. You have to do it manually, but from what I briefly read Oreo should handle that now. Maybe having old items in the cache caused some hiccups?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] paleman27:
Really? Where? I mean the update. I have an essential. There is no update passed 7.1.1

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kakabobo:
would the wait cut into the support period of 2 year?

Two days on Beta 3. Having issues with the OTA signal. The screen indicates no bars but I'm able to receive calls with no problem. Other issue; I'm like 15 feet away from the WiFi antenna but the screen does not have a "full" WiFi signal. This occurs at home and at the office.

If it's working, don't let it bother you. I use System UI Tuner to get rid of those icons. One reason being so it's cleaner along the top, but the other reason being that now I don't obsess over them.

Can someone verify for me the SHA256 checksum of their downloaded zip with Windows Powershell?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] maltydog:
I was sideloading this via adb, it was going very slow, got to 7%

and I got the following error message

"failed to read command: connection reset by peer"

eventually the phone rebooted, still running 7.1.1.

At least I didn't brick it!

I notice when the phone remained connected to the computer, it made multiple

connection sounds, as if I was connecting and removing the cable to the computer.

By the way, I am on the Sprint version, and I have sideloaded the last two nougat updates

without issues, so I am not a newbie.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] VennligFiende:
Bad USB cable, perhaps?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] AngelPrints:
Are you using a USB-C to USB-C cable? If so, use a USB-A to USB-C cable.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] elkay:
Yep I was going to say bad USB cable or bad USB port. Try another cable and/or another port. Also, don't use a USB hub if you are.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] maltydog:
I am using an old usb cable with a usb-c adapter. Same cable I used for the other nougat updates. This computer does not have any usb-c connection directly, it's a few years old. Sorry, I was answering an another question.

Edit: got it to work after 3 attempts. Oddly enough, I was connected via a USB hub that last time, but I have limited connections on this old desktop. Anyway thanks for the suggestions.

With each beta release would we need need to sideload every update or once the first beta is installed will each beta after be available for OTA?

I'm on OB3, I installed Titanium Backup from the Play Store, but every time I open it the app crashes.

I'm rooted with Magisk V15.3.

I've tried clearing app data, reinstalling it, and reinstalling Magisk.

Did you clean install OB3? Titanium backup works fine here.

Does anyone experience ghost touch on OB3 ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Could be your android id or something in the cache. Did you try clearing it? What are you rooted with?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sonic0504:
No, but I clean installed OB2 then OTA'ed to OB3 when it came out.

I tried clearing the cache, but it still crashes.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Try a flash of the full ob3 dump. See if it helps

That won't wipe my data will it, if not how do I do that?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
as long as you don't do a wipe (any of the commands with "-w") it won't wipe any of the partitions
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sonic0504:
I sideloaded it with ADB and tried installing it without root first, but it still crashes.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
Do try using the dumps as they flash both slots and all the relevent partitions. At the worst case, do a TWRP backup and a full wipe after that just to make sure that it is not some app or setting causing the crash. It might be a little tedious but will save you a lot of long term pain
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sonic0504:
I'll try that, if something deep in the system is broke I don't want to bring it to the next OTA, or even worst bring it to 8.1.

I'll update once it's done flashing.

Welp, the app still crashes on launch...:confused:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
What are the exact steps performed? I have done multiple installs and restores on my PH1 without such a problem.

Unlock bootloader and critical

1. Wipe entire device

2. restore the full dump

3. reboot into device that all is working fine. wait 5 mins

4. reboot to bootloader

5. flash twrp

6. boot into twrp

7. flash stock boot.img

8. flash magisk

9. reboot

10. check that root is working fine. i normally install root explorer to test that it is able to browse to all folders

11. copy in TiBU backup from original backups

12. install Tibu

13. Tibu works 100% of the time for me

For the above 13 steps, I have done it many times, in N, OB1, OB2 and OB3. never had an issue of the application crashing

Sometimes, it has happened 3 times already, I plug the phone to charge, the screen will say "charging rapidly", the message light will turn yellow. Come to check on the phone 30 minutes later and the phone will be at the same % that I left it before charging it.

Yes I made sure it was plugged and yes it said "charging rapidly".

Edit

Another situation: Sometimes, more often than not, the screen wont turn on when an incoming call is been received.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] sonic0504:
I think something in the "data" partition is screwed, I backed it up in TWRP and then wiped it, and after that Titanium Backup started working, but when I restored my backed up data partition it started crashing again.

Edit: I fixed it by going into TWRP and deleting every trace of "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup" I could find except the one in "data\app", I guess clearing the app data and\or uninstalling didn't get rid of all the app's files.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mobileman88:
