I'm getting a little tired of not seeing the OTA either. If it doesn't show up by the time I get home I'll sideload. Thanks for the link.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
My wife just got 8.1 on her original VZW Pixel yesterday.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
just bcuz its there doesnt mean its available
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Travisdroidx2:
Asked Google support if I can sideload the ota for Verizon locked bootloader and they recommend for me to wait for the OTA. Can't believe I bought a Google device from Verizon. First and last. All my previous Google devices were straight from Google and unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Meh, I wouldn't dwell too much on what Google support says. If anything, the instructions on their factory images page are more official and expert than the opinion you get from whatever random customer service employee you happened to talk to. I just finished updating via the sideload process and it couldn't have gone more smoothly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Travisdroidx2:
I'm working tonight and planned on sideload tomorrow the ota. Only thing that threw me off I never seen a Verizon build in factory images. Usually just one standard build for all carriers. I thought it would be fine also. And yes customer support was giving me scripted answers of basically saying wait two weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mackcbr954:
I bought mine through Google, but it's on the Verizon network, I got my ota on the 7th.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] commuterbox:
I'm not gonna wait 2 weeks. Anybody shed some light on how to sideload the ota with my Verizon pixel 2 xl? All stock. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Go to the Google factory images page. Click on the link for OTAs and all instructions are provided there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jonathonparker:
I have the Verizon PXL2 and I still hadn't received the update as of yesterday. I looked up the instructions on Google, and I was back up and running with the update in about 30 mins or so. Everything went smooth for me. Pretty simple, just make sure you have ADB correctly installed,(there is a guide on XDA). I didn't have to worry about the drives as I am on Windows 10 and it seems to find it for me. I downloaded the OTA from Google appropriate to my device and adb side loaded it to my phone and bam.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pandacookie:
I sideloaded the update on my Pixel 2 XL (Verizon) very easily. No need to wait at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] commuterbox:
Disregard. I just got the update after checking it. Downloading now. Thanks guys
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Travisdroidx2:
I got impatient and sideloaded it.

Anybody experience the slow display wake up with power button and finger print reader? I do and I'm kinda annoyed about it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
It does seem like there is a slight delay, maybe an extra half second or so
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
I'm not on Verizon but don't want to start a new thread, and figure this is applicable anyway:

It's the 12th now and I still haven't received the OTA update. (Australian 128GB B&W, using in Japan).

Is it still possible to register and download the 8.1 Beta and directly update, or has Google terminated the Beta install due to the final release?

I had been on DP2 with my previous P2XL but sold it to get the B&W color.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] limelightlemon17:
I'm Google unlocked on Verizon opd3 still nothing yet. Talked to Google support and said I'd get it in a week or 2. Not even worried cause I came from an unlocked s8+ that was stuck on 7.0 and August 1st security patch so I'm not sweaten. Happy to be on 8.0.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Beandip-Javier:
I came across this dong a google search, and just simply sharing with all. But this worked for me and updating now.

If you want the update now go to :

1. Settings

2. Apps & Notifications

3. Click see all apps

4. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and press show system apps.

5. Scroll down and click on "Google Service Framework"

6. Click on storage.

7. Clear data.

8. Click back and force stop "Google Service Framework".

9. Restart Phone

10. Check for update once or twice and 8.1 should be there. It worked for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NDIrish10:
I did exactly this, which was suggested in the Verizon Community Forum (it may have been you). Then after doing so, I received a reply, in that forum, that clearing the data in Google System Framework may not be such a good idea, which may then lead to having to do a factory reset, as Verizon rep had suggested doing do to push the latest 8.1 update (something I wanted to avoid). So far I have not needed to Factory Reset, but could anyone let us know if we are screwed, by clearing this data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I had to factory reset my wife's Pixel. Notifications from GMail and other push notifications were either not working at all or extremely delayed. I wouldn't do it. You might want to find an hour where you can reset the device without stressing the time. That's about how long it took me. Data and programs were restored from the cloud method but logins were not.

My Pixel 2 from Verizon too got the update last week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Beandip-Javier:
I've had no issues 3 hours later with notifications, the only one that I've come across is that 8.1 keeps disabling my VPN (adguard) other then that all running smooth.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NDIrish10:
So far so good on this end too. But if needed, I'll do a factory reset during the weekend...thanks to all!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 5150jpd:
Quick question, new to Pixel but been a Nexus user for years...Have a Google purchased Pixel XL on Verizon network with an unlocked bootloader. Received OTA notification for 8.1 but hesitant to take it. If I accept the OTA will Verizon bloatware and other Verizon influences show up within the OTA or is it the same as the factory OTA? If so I may just side load , wouldn't want them to sneak in a "lock the bootloader" trick...lol Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Larzzzz82:
Any apps installed can easily be removed. Carrier specific apps get installed when the Sim card is inserted.

As I understand it, and I could be wrong... Android updates are done by Google.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cnote74:
There is no bloatware on the Verizon pixel 2. I think the imei is what locks the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] F350-6:
Days later and still the same here. I haven't rooted yet as there aren't exactly a lot of roms to choose from. I have enabled the developer options, but still no sign of an update. I'm trying to wait and see how long it takes, but the touch response issue along the edge of the screen has me thinking about sideloading it.

Did not work for me. Still says up to date on 8.0.

Hasn't seemed to affect my phone one bit by clearing that data.

---------- Post added at 20:24 ---------- Previous post was at 19:48 ----------

Maybe I spoke to soon. Followed the directions from earlier, cleared data, restarted and checked for update. Got nothing.

Looked at my phone later and it said update was available. Perhaps that trick did work after all.

On another note, google phone on verizon network. No verizon apps loaded with update, and I went ahead and enabled OEM unlocking on the bootloader after the install. No issues at all with the update so far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bsweetness:
The biggest issue for me after clearing this data was it removed the device from my Google account. Non-SMS 2 factor authentication pushes weren't working, Device Manager didn't have my phone listed, and the Play Store store didn't have it listed as a device I owned. Had to clear the data on a few more Google apps and services to get it to re-assign the phone to my account. Showed up as a new device.

And of course I didn't get the 8.1 update after doing all of it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vx2ko:
I'm on my Verizon bought pixel 2 xl and was constantly checking for the update. Finally got tired of waiting last night. I manually sideloaded the OTA using the OTA file on the developer site. The process couldn't have gone more smooth. For those weary of sideloading the OTA on their Verizon pixel 2 xl, go for it. No issues here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RED ZMAN:
Same thing here. Followed all of those steps and powered off powered back on And went and checked for an update there was nothing. Came back to the Forum and started looking through the rest of this thread looked up and saw I had an update notification. Thanks everyone.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vx2ko:
You downloaded the OTA, not the full image right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i tried both methods.. the full firmware through fastboot and the ota through adb sideload
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gm007:
Flash the new bootloader first and do ota sideload.

Make sure you have the latest adb and fastboot.

I have a Verizon Google Pixel 2 XL with a Sprint SIM in it. I haven't received the 8.1 update yet. I even tried enrolling in the beta program; no difference. I also noticed that I'm still on the September security patch. Isn't there a November one already?

Do you think the Sprint SIM is interfering with my updates?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] baknblack:
Sprint is always slow to roll out updates
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i didnt think pixel updates came from the carriers...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] claudermilk:
I've been busy lately so haven't been watching too closely. My OTA arrive sometime last night & was awaiting install this morning. My wife's OG Pixel also has hers waiting (she let the battery run down so I couldn't install yet).

Looks like 10 days or so from release? That's darn fast for a VZW phone.

Hello,

I have a Treo 700wx and yesterday I was messing with my theme and now it will not let me change the theme. Always stays on the default. Also now I can not install or uninstall anything. If I try to install a cab it has \network there now as an install path. doesn"t matter if I choose \device \network or \storgae card. If I go to remove programs the list is empty. Tried with pocket mechanic's remove program feature but it say that 'unload' can not be found. Any help would be great. I'm stumped
[General Topics] wovens:
Are you sure your Treo is recognising your card? Have you tried to use the card with a card reader on your pc/laptop? Is there any other application that sits on the card that is not been recognised? Sorry if I am way off the mark on this.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] HamSamich:
I am using my iPhone headphones with my oneplus 5T and when I try to skip to the next song on spotify by double tapping the play/pause button on the volume rocker in the cord of the headphones like I have on my iphone and other android devices, it just skips to the next song but does not start playing as says the next song is paused.

Now I have tried the apps from the android app store that add these gestures but same result as above.

Is this due to me using an iPhone headphone on an android device? Something to do with a setting in spotify? I've also read that this is not a feature for oxygenOS? I've also noticed that using the volume up/down does not adjust the volume as well. I know oxygen OS offers gestures to change to the next song but I do not want to do that if my phone is in my pocket.

This is very frustrating when I have my phone in my pocket at the gym and need to skip to the next song. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I downloaded the 8.1 OTA build OPM1.171019.011 from Google and installed via adb sideload. After reboot I noticed that the lock screen requires authentication every time. Looking at Smart Lock (Settings>Security & location>Smart Lock) there is no option to add a smart lock option, the screen is completely blank.

I have been using Smart Lock with Wear (Currently LG Urbane) for years, and the watch is currently connected.

See attached screenshots.

I used the official OTA, not the full image, and not the beta, so shouldn't require a factory reset after the load.

-VoLTE Provisioned

-Video Calling Provisioned

-Wifi Calling Provisioned

-EAB/Presence Provisioned (Only if you use SIP calling accounts)

Once I exited the menu by backing out, the options were immediately available again.
