World first problem... Chill out.

Update is coming today December 13th as per every articles.

If you can't stand the phone, sell it and move on to Samsung or Isheep bangwagon. But be advise they have there share of problems too...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] marmin:
Please don't tell me to chill out.

If I want to comment on my frustrations about having a "premium" device which is sold with faults and has a promise of updates which are not upheld, then I shall.

If you wish to spend your money and follow what Google says like a "sheep" without voicing your dissatisfaction, then that too is your right.

To paraphrase a brilliant quote "All that is needed for poor service to continue to happen is for good customers to do nothing", I have raised my concerns with Google and would encourage others to raise your voice too.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lawtq:
Well said. People coming on here trying to tell others what they can or cannot say p's me off.

Returned mine cause the return window expired before today, the 13th. I don't think one update can magically fix the phone. I hope it does though. I think it'll take time though, months.

In the meantime I'm looking forward to the next gen phones that are only a couple months away. This next gen will be a true leap in next gen terms. Pixel left me cold
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Probably not until 1pm EST. Relax.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
It will probably come 1000 pacific time (Googles HQ time, it the morning) - that equals 1900 Berlin time (Europe).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
You are right to voice criticism. Googles behaviour is unacceptable, since they let their new flagship users wait beyond the usual update time without any explanation given. We should have a clear window to expect - not "in a week" - that's a joke. Google is the biggest company in the world, anyone here seriously believe they don't have fixed, internal deadlines? They should simply make a counter: Here, that's when we will start pushing the update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jiggs82:
Should be out around 1pm est.🙏🏻
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
They did exactly that, they said it would be released today (13th). As today is not over (and they don't usually release updates until in the PST time zone ) and was never likely to be AM for the CET time zone.

There will be a lot more fixes in the release for the Pixel 6 than applied to the older models, they most likely wanted to test out the fixes that applied to them in the real world and also have some more time to test the Pixel 6 specific fixes. Better to get it right than rush out bad updates which make things worse in the eyes of those who have issues.

I can understand frustration if you are being seriously hampered by an issue (most people aren't, with minor irritations), but at least give it until the window they said has closed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] therock3181:
Where did I wrote he can or cannot say ? Please tell me

Actually don't, because I found nothing.....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
Haven't had a single issue with my P6P. You you actually think you're a beta tester you should have had the first android phone the T-Mobile G1, we were actual beta testers. If you don't like the phone simply return it!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] marmin:
I'm very pleased for you. Pointing out that you are one of the lucky ones hardly helps those of us with issues, just kind of rubs peoples noses in it. Nope, I said I "feel" like a beta tester, big difference. With the G1 it was a first of a kind, early adopters of new tech/OS often end up with fixes after launch.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
OTAs/Factory images usually drop around 10 am PST. You still have 2 hours to go!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] intp.pisces:
Same, ironically. I've realized with every release there's those who have issues and those who don't. Luckily we know Google's gonna take care of it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Mod Edit: Quote removed and part of message edited since quoted post rmoved.

For clarification, what do you mean by "smells like curry"?

I agree at least with the stance that we should all just patiently await the update. It's coming and should bring good things to our toys. There's people in this world who would love to have this phone so those feeling impatient, just crack on with your day and no dount in an hour or two we'll all be flashing away (cue to the next lot of complaints?!)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
This is all that matters. Back in the days - before patches - products had to function at launch, since there was no way to fix anything. Once it was in the hands of your customer, there was no choice - either the product worked without issue and you got good press and recommendation, or your product was buggy and people stopped buying it.

Nowadays, companies just don't give a s*it - they release buggy products and there are customers that have the audacity to even support that kind of behavior. Instead of working together in order to get companies to fix their sh*t BEFORE launch, people divide themselves amongst "patience" or "you can't expect them to fix stuff in time" - aha. Well, we can. The nanosecond we buy a thousanddollar product. We are not talking about a 2 dollar china toy, we are talking about a state of the art, high-end flagship - that's simply supposed to work without issue. And if major issues arise, criticism is of paramount importance.

Many bugs we face today have been known since Android 12 has launched it's first beta - 18 May 2021 - that's roughly 7 months time for Google to fix stuff. They didn't.

And here we are not even talking about Pixel 6 specific bugs, simply Android ones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
I actually wonder how many problems there really are that are really bugs or just user error. When the Note 20 Ultra first came out there were quite a few people having issues with it here on XDA but what it boiled down to in the end was that they were transferring data from another phone and most weren't even a Samsung phone. Also if it were an Android 12 issue we would all have it not just a select few!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BlaaaaazedUp:
You're easily triggered. Maybe don't let random strangers on the internet get you so heated lolol

How about we just stay on track mmmkay.

DM me if you want to continue bickering like a schoolgirl 🤣
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] IvanPTachev:
I wrote in a different thread, but I wonder if any of you are experiencing the same - phone throttles down really hard and it's not temperature related. I did geekbench benchmarks and got quite bad results - 350-450 single core and around 2100 multi core. This is way lower than the original stats I was getting. Wonder if there is some throtteling done in specific situations, to save battery while keeping the phone colder.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I just checked my phone and ran Geekbench on my P6 Pro with the latest December patch

View attachment 5482011

Since a lot of stuff is running in the background, that's totally reasonable. So it's not the patch per se that is causing your 2k score.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Archer:
FYI - I'm in the UK using an unbranded 6 Pro, and I'm currently installing the update now. I went to the update section in the settings and it had last checked overnight and there was nothing. I did a manual check and it was available.

YMMV but it is rolling out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Markelijk:
Can you see if it's SQ1D.211205.016.A1 or SQ1D.211205.016.A4 ?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Archer:
I'll let you know when it finishes. It's a slow one!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TrustAugustus:
Still not available in Japan. Lol @ the "leak" from Japan saying it'll be out on the 13th. 6 hours away from the 15th here. I want to see if my wireless charging will be fixed or I'll need to RMA...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
The update did release, individual updates ("phone prompts") always happen in rollouts, meaning it's possible that some users (or most) have to wait days, maybe even weeks until their phone gets the prompt. Best just sideload it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TrustAugustus:
Unfortunately, I can't sideload it unless the Japanese variant is out of I'll lose NFC
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Are you sure that there is a specific Japanese version coming? According to the Google blog and the released versions, the Canada/A1 version seems to be the ROW one (rest of world).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mikemod:
I just got the UK update - SQ1D.211205.016.A4

Fingerprint never fails now.

No improvement in LTE signal strength, still worse than my pixel 3XL

Twitter still jumpy on scrolling.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TrustAugustus:
Not entirely sure. I'll have to look into more. Generally there is a variant due NFC differences. I saw the the 5a does indeed have variant. I'll research it a bit more. Cheers.

Doesn't seem like there is a difference. I'm on 12.0.0 (SD1A.210817.037, Nov 2021)

right now and I think that is the general one. I might try sideloading... Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Archer:
Was it the slowest updated ever, for you? It's been nearly an hour for me and it's still only about 2/3rds through the install.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mikemod:
Yea, it took some time, I started it last night while watching a film, not sure how long in the end, My wife's Pixel 6 was the same.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kazemitsui:
So I am trying to install the Factory Image of the December update onto my 6pro. And I forget, do I need to have my bootloader unlocked to do it? Cause it has failed for the last 10 minutes. And the only thing I can think of is that my bootloader is locked still cause I wasn't planning on rooting my phone.

With that said is the only way to get the update to sideload the OTA or wait for tmobile in US to finally push it to me?

Ive been on reddit the whole day, and it seems like 6pro users in the US with Tmobile, cannot get the update "yet" unless they sideload it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Danne9900:
i got the wrong built. i live in europe and got the A1 built.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gregor160300:
Have read similar reports on the Dutch tweakers forum https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2083614/91 most people there seem to be getting the A1 version of the update. I myself installed it through a sideload and flashed the A4 in the Netherlands, haven't had issues with connectivity so seems EU users can pretty safely flash A1 or A4, I suspect the A4 is what in the past was often UK carriers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Archer:
Curious. Also in the UK and have SQ1D.211205.016.A1

(It finally finished!)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Currently I'm on the November build SD1A.210817.037, where no specific carrier was mentioned. Now that they have a build for US carriers, would I be able to safely update over my current build or need to wipe the entire system?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kazemitsui:
you can safely update it, no need to wipe
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] silent_silver:
It is A4 Build. Came via OTA for me in germany using Vodafone
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Just for info, did a 'diff' on the APKs/packages before/after upgrade:

One new APK:

- com.android.angle

Two APKs removed:

- com.verizon.obdm_permissions

- com.verizon.obdm
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wilpang:
Yay got the update this morning, I'm from the UK! Wasn't exactly the fastest but no major issues so far!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Anyone else on latest Dec release but yet Google Play System Update is still on Nov? When I manually check for an update, it says on up to date.... UK, rooted...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mikemod:
UK here as well. After update, Google Play System Update still on November but I think it updates independently of the main system, always seems to lag behind.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Mic Muted:
Ironic how you talk so hypocritical. You let random strangers complaining about the late update trigger you. Maybe get out of your glass House before you start to throw stones. Also thank you for side stepping me asking for proof of your claim. I'll take that as you holding a giant L. Maybe get off the drugs and improve your life. Reply to me again and prove to us all how mad you are.......
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] purger155:
After the update, I'm getting the annoying blue shadow when unlocking the phone.. Tried changing the wallpaper, but problem remains.. Anyone having same issue?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Mic Muted:
You should see my S21 ultra. On android 11 before the 12 update it was still stuck on June play system update! Lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
Weird!! Hmm will keep an eye on it....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Kall1990:
Hello

I got the SQ1D.211205.016.A1 update for Poland

and i have connectivity problems in sim card.

I wonder if I got the correct version of the update for my country
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] combat goofwing:
In the UK and no update yet on a carrier free device
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the factory image. You can either sideload the OTA or wait for it to come to you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 124leon124:
You should have ver A4 for EMEA. A1 is for CA. A4 is for UK, IE, FR, DE.

Maybe you should update to A4 manually.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Kall1990:
Could you please instruct me on how I can do this and where to download the image
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Did mine last night.

UK on a non carrier phone (direct from Google) and got the A4 version pushed (so not side loaded).

Took about an hour to install with the progress bar moving in chunks slowly over the hour, although the last 3rd was pretty quick.

Didn't really have any issues before the update (FPR 90%+ accurate, battery lasting 20+ hours on 50% (80 down to 30). Haven't come across any new issues today, so looking good for me still so far.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BlaaaaazedUp:
Buddy, I made a joke and you went Defcon. Took it so personal. If you weren't "crying" about it then why are you even going off?

SUS! You're literally STILL whining like a bratty little child. Try stomping your foot next time. Might make you feel better
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] choder:
This did NOT fix the fingerprint battery drain issue, where it disables your fingerprint and you can't register a new one...... https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205335447?pli=1
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Is this a comparison between A4 (EMEA) and A1 (for what ever that version is)?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Have patience. The Play system updates are not aligned with the factory image updates. You should get it eventually (same happened to me as well).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
No between November / December (EMEA) updates (I should have clarified that).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sortilego:
I had the same issue with the voice problem. If I had put it to loud speaker and it fixed for that time , but new call and it reappears...

And the signal still drops to zero, I just get a message of a missed call...

And still no VoLTE or VoWifi with T-Mobile ( Hungary )

By the way it is an unlocked P6P from UK Google Store
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
Ye it seems like it is an issue with the carrier that VoLTE and VoWifi isn't working.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sortilego:
Of course, they said that it has been activated and I should contact google why it is not working...

They just pointing to each other
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Utini:
No support by your carrier because you didn't buy the phone from them :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jmartin72:
It really isn't that difficult.

The update will rollout with a few different builds that will hit your phone depending on carrier or country. For most of our readers, you’ll see SQ1D.211205.017 as the US carrier build. Other builds to be aware of are SQ1D.211205.016.A1 (Canada and TW) and SQ1D.211205.016.A4 (EMEA carriers)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tal_sarid:
Are you sure? Maybe it just doesn't fix the enrollment issue after the battery died on older versions but if it dies now it will be OK?

Time will tell, or someone brave enough to kill his battery on purpose to test it :p

Edit: OK someone has confirmed this at least on his own device (from the link above).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
5G carrier aggregation was definitely added.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
Just about 4:30 on 12/14 and as far as I can tell I don't have the update on my unlocked P6P. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place. My last Android Security update is 11/5. I haven't gotten any notification of a download. Am I missing something?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
My build number ends with A4 but I bought this phone cash! No contract, I thought my phone was unlocked? It can take any sim and I can unlock bootloader if I want??
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] almahix:
I am not getting the December update by way of Settings->System->System Update. Is this working for anyone? I don't want to download or sideload.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
Same here.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nergal di Cuthah:
Yes US rooted
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] achapman91:
Am I downloading the .017 us carriers version for Verizon in the us then?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
yes, that's the consensuses.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
The battery life is now amazing!!! Best battery life if ever seen on a android, from 6 this morning untill half 11 at night and still have 28% left, sick. Moderate usage plus mobile data active for 12 hours
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
Why be aware of A4? I'm on A4 and it's awesome, battery life is amazing my signal is now very good and mobile network standby is so good, plus speeds are much faster, couldn't be happier with this build
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] achapman91:
Seems to have worked for me!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] A.Priori:
Has anyone noticed any changes to the camera (e.g. quality; noise etc.) since the December update?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] enjoyingtheride:
I have similar issues on both my Pixel 5 & 6 where I lose mobile connectivity and need to restart. Both on Google Fi.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GtarSkater:
I'm not going to reply to any specific post, but I have had ZERO issues with my P6Pro. Sure the camera doesn't always take photographer level pictures, and I get the occasional service drop every now and then.

I'm concerned that there are an abundance of people complaining about issues, I guess I got lucky because I have nothing to gripe about. I hope all of the issues get fixed, and (selfishly) I hope I don't get them.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
Remember they are the vocal minority. People aren't going to say how great their device is as much as complain about the little things or think they have issues too
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Reechings:
Where did the guy go that was having the connectivity issue? Wanted to hear if it fixed it or not.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] almahix:
I am tired of needlessly pressing "check for update" so I downloaded the December build for my unrooted but unlocked US phone. I read some posts on how to install, but they all use flash-all.bat which I do not have. I tried fastboot flashall but got errors. What's the right way to flash? I'm still learning all this fastboot stuff as I always depended upon TWRP.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Dave Lister:
flash-all.bat is in the zip file of the factory image. If you're not seeing it then you likely downloaded the OTA file instead.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] red_snow:
Exactly why I didn't buy the P6P, because of the reviews that stated it had the same modem as the Samsung and one review even said the signal reception was more suited to those in city/towns with good cellular signal. When I had an Oppo Find X2 Pro, hated the software but the cellular reception was superb. I tried a Samsung Galaxy at the time and the signal was very poor in comparison.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Starzboy77:
I'm right here and I still have the same issues. I would say it has improved slightly but just today alone it disconnected to the network while I was at home at least two separate occasions, one of which caused me to miss messages. Very frustrating and I'm going to ensure Google hears about it. I'm not alone either. Stuff like this will lead to a class action lawsuit, which they are more than familiar with. Currently rooted and on December patch. I average one to two bars since the patch when I averaged one bar before the patch. I live in the Phoenix metro area and have TMobile on an unlocked 6 Pro. I also replaced my SIM card and even the TMobile rep was dumbfounded and wouldn't charge me for the new card and let me keep it since he already activated it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Reechings:
Sorry to hear you're having issues still. Hopefully mine works well when I get it in the next few days.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Mtha86:
I got the update OTA.

I'm not sure, but can it be that battery life improved a bit? (I always had good battery life)

I have A1 version (Europe).

So far i m very happy with the update.

i will need a few more days to really judge if battery life has improved
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Michelle My Belle:
I've sideloaded A4. Couldn't be bothered to wait for the OTA.

My P6 Pro was bought from Google store in the UK (Unlocked).

After reading the posts here, it would seem I should've sideloaded the A1 build because some peep's are saying A1 build is for Unlocked/ROW but some peep's in the UK (bought Unlocked from Google store) are getting A4 downloaded OTA in the UK, while others are getting A1 (also in the UK/Unlocked) ... Seems a bit of a mess and a lottery!

If, I try to sideload A1 (after sideloading A4), I get a failure part way through sideloading the build.

I've retried downloading the file and checked the SHA checksum but it always fails and I have to reload the A4 build.

Are there further steps I need to take? (would've thought the bootloader would allow the same signed version number to be sideloaded via ADB)...

thanks

MMB.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
As of 12/16 I have no update to my unlocked P6P. I thought a benefit of getting a Google Pixel is that I would be getting system updates direct from Google. I do not want to have to do it myself. But it seems like that is exactly what I have to do. Am I missing something?

View attachment 5484011
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
That's because they are staggering the rollout. Not everyone is getting it at the same time. I know, it's frustrating, but hey, that's Go0gle. You'll eventually get it if you don't manually install it beforehand.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
Thanks, I was not aware. I just read a couple of posts on the Google Pixel 6 support page that others are in the same situation and that Google may have paused the rollout to address issues that have been reported.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
that's what I thought at first but my 6p ended up having the same reception, if not better than my s21 ultra. Samsung devices tend to have issues with their modem and they still haven't fixed it up to this day.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
What state? I haven't received it yet here in Nevada, but anticipate soon...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
So, in other words: US Carriers = "Raven" for P6P, correct?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not sure I understand your question. The Pixel 6 Pro (P6P) is the Raven, yes. The regular Pixel 6 (P6) is Oriole, and things that apply to both the P6 and P6P are "Raviole". :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Raven is the codename for the phone assigned during its development, its a global name and not regional.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
One thing I have found interesting now after a couple of days is that I am getting exactly the same battery life out of the phone, same overnight drop and same pattern throughout the day. However the Mobile Network Standby percentage in the battery usage screen has gone from what was showing as typically around 7-9% pre-update to around 30% now.

But as I say the real battery experience has not changed at all. So makes me wonder if people complaining about this high % and trying to chase it down have been looking at a red herring after all. Looks like it is just an irrelevant number in real world terms.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gmfeld:
MA
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Yeh, it seems like some random luck of the draw rollout 😳📴😁
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Saurabh1392:
I'm from UK as well and I've got (SQ1D.211205.016.A1).

I don't understand? How is this possible??
