[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stephanstricker:
I installed the update manually and the fingerprint sensor still sucks big time. I have an iPad with a build in fingerprint sensor and it reads almost every time on the first try and I only taught every finger once. On my Pixel I taught them twice and it still misses it every other try.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
No need for that if you have a big community testing your beta phone firmwares for free, even though Google ignored most bug reports, lol. There is still a heckload of stuff going wrong that was present in the first Beta.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stroke55:
Ahh, just another week of crappy reception - today's highlight: 4G+ full reception with an exclamation mark even after reboot. It's already gotten to the point where I even expect to have no reception when I need my phone on the way. I regret not having returned it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the new firmware will fix these issues for you.

It's a shame that companies release a thousand dollar product, yet it still fails to use the most basic of features without problem. Even if it only affects a portion of the userbase... shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Reception, call quality... I mean, damnit. This is a PHONE. It's DESIGNED to make a CALL. To CONNECT to the INTERNET: And if that is not possible without difficulty... omega uff.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gettinwicked:
I don't think I've EVER seen so many fixes. Oy vey. Just shows how buggy A12 and the p6's are...

I don't know about any of you, but I'm fairly ticked that we have to wait another week for an update. I've had it with this damn FPR. It works great right after redoing the prints, then after a while it will go from working most of the time to me having to use my other thumb or the passcode. I was really hoping for a big fix today... Also, my battery getting hot during chrome use and some other situations, and the bad battery life...

I've also about had it with Google. A12 has been sooo buggy, and to be honest, material you is kind of a joke. 4 whole colors to choose from, two of which are AWFUL, no font, no icons, not very material YOU. I've actually been keeping an eye on the Samsung s22 launch. I never thought I'd ever own another Samsung phone, but I'm close. The s21 got A12 less than a month from the pixel launch, so, it doesn't seem like I'd have to wait 6 months for OS updates, and, they have a theme store. So, you can actually make it yours lol. Ugh...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wolfeyes30:
Same here. Doing some gig work right now and lost a very good order due to phone dropping data. I should have return mine as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gettinwicked:
I forgot about this. I rarely seem to have full bars, 5G, LTE, whatever. At my house I get one bar... My 4xl had full bars. Pretty much everywhere I had full or almost. I too, regret not returning this phone. If I hadn't gave my mom my 4xl right away, I would have. We'll see if Google actually fixes this BS. If not, I'm sure Sammy will give me most of my money back for a trade for an S22.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wolfeyes30:
Yep..... material you is hideous. Love how it changes the hue of the greys instead of just the accent color. Thought I wouldn't say it either, this will be the last Google phone for me. Can't wait to get rid of it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Back in the day, Pixel firmware updates never had these many fixes - it's a shame, and quite frankly, pathetic, that Google released Android 12 - after a 3/4 year of public beta testing ! - in an obviously broken state.

And jea, I can only agree with your assessment with Material You. We lost a lot of customization and are now forced to endure a UI that was made for an 80 year old colour-blind, requiring moon-sized letters, widgets and unicolor-backgrounds across the board.

If I could, I would immediately return the entire UI to Android 11 - that one was beautiful and just worked. I see no advantage in Android 12. It's the first Android update - in my Android phone owning years - that felt like an actual downgrade, instead of an upgrade.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mitchst2:
This!

Sideloaded the update myself but for those not prepared to do that it's been a long stretch to wait for the FPR fix Google saw fit to issue to their 'important markets'.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Google never really cared for its hardware department, it was always a side job, a hobby. An experiment - to showcase Android. That shows - in many ways.

If Google had been serious about this endeavour, they would have pushed the FP fix to every user after no more than 24 hours after the first firmware got rolled out. Instead, they just don't give a s*it and expect people to wait for months to receive important bug fixes, even though the FIX IS ALREADY THERE.

I need to repeat the latter, since you can't fix a problem without having a fix. But Google has a fix. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PUSH ONE BUTTON. Especially since they already released a firmware that can be applied to every Pixel 6. It's... uff. Pathetic.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mitchst2:
100%

No region should be left behind when it comes to a FIX.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wolfeyes30:
Personally I don't think newly released phones should have a new OS on them cuz you really don't know if it's an OS issue or the phone has issues and only 15 days to return it. Just my opinion
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
100%

I would have loved to see the P6 get released with Android 11, and 12 would have been an optional update. That way people could have waited for Android 12 to not be a buggy mess anymore.

Many people that flame - or quite frankly, hate - the Pixel 6 after owning it, only hate Android 12. Since that is a broken mess. A lot of bad blood could have been avoided if Google shipped the P6 with a decent, stable, good Android version.

I mean, this is Googles alleged Flagship. Their most priced hardware product. And they showcase it - WILLINGLY - with a mess of a broken OS? How did any manager up in the chain sign that one off? Does no Google manager actually use a Pixel phone as a daily driver, or how it is possible for them to not notice this as a huge issue that needs to be immediately fixed?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I'm still using my 4 XL on Android 11 until Android 12 is fixed (hopefully this month?) so I can switch to my P6P.

Honestly, I usually wait a few months before getting a Pixel but I didn't want to miss the free Bose 700 headphones offer (in Europe) for pre-orders. Especially since one of my co-workers is probably interested in buying it from me. That means getting the 6 Pro for around 700 euros, which is a good price!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stroke55:
Thanks, I flashed the 037 update on my European device - I hope the issues are somehow related to that (altough I don't believe it).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
iOS 15 and the iPhone 13 series have multiple issues too and you're scrutinizing Google? Give me a break dude. How many threads are you going to rant about this nonsense?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
Are you referring to the mid November update, .037? Not the one which is the subject of this thread yet to be released, right?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stephanstricker:
Yep that's right, the big question is does this update improve the fingerprint sensor further or is this just including the fix from mid-November.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] henihazbay:
any indication that the december update fixes the "mobile battery drain" on Pixel 6 and 6 Pro?

To summarize

1. Ultrawideband with P6 Pro (hardly a feature drop, that was advertised at launch)

2. Adjusting Power Button duration until Assistant kicks in

3. More bass control for Pixel Buds A-series (hardly a Pixel feature drop, I guess Google needs to fill the page)

4. Sound Aplifier gets Conversation Mode

5. Quick Tap to Snap

6. Now Playing Favorite Songs

7. Car Crash Detection in Taiwan, Italy, France

8. Google Recorder now works in Japanese, French and German on Pixel 3-5 (debuted on P6)

**

No faceunlock*

December Feature Drop: Pixel 6 Pro UWB, adjust Assistant long press, Pixel Buds A-Series bass slider, & more

With Android 12 rolling out to Pixel devices later than expected this year, there was no Feature Drop in September, but the December...

**a bit disappointing for a Feature drop. The last one was 6 month ago and all we now get are four meagre mini-updates to existing functions? Omega uff.

Hi there

I hope you can help.

As i have just got an O2 Experia, unfortunately they have removed the Google Panel, to my frustration, as i really wanted Google earth etc.

Would it be possibe to send me or give me the Google Panel cab file.

I assume this can be got through the development kit.

There will be many upset people from this network soon, as the phone was only released yesterday.

Thanks very much

I'm surprised that no Samsung details are listed are listed.
[Google Pixel 6] Nidstang:
Plus, I'm legitimately shocked by the number of people who seem to think that it would be acceptable -- perhaps even desirable -- for Google to prioritize updates on its new phone over older phones.

To my mind, delaying the update on the 6 until it's completely ready is quite defensible. But delaying updates on older phones to focus on the 6 would be entirely indefensible.
[Google Pixel 6] ah0y:
Google should never have shipped the phone with so many core features broken.

Why, Google has been doing this every year it releases a new OS. The average tweek, bug fixes are about three months after releasing the OS.

How many updates does Samsung have?
