First Monday of the month is typically when the updates hit, isn't it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skoda9635:
Also, it should be Feature Drop time. But no mention of it anywhere. Maybe just small update to come or there will be one next Monday?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Not until 1pm EST.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
They confirmed it's delayed again
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Delayed, plus the "feature drop" consists of some mediocre Snapchat stuff, an oversized battery widget and a couple stickers. The Pixel 6 turns into a disappointment. Non-existent feature drops, massive bugs, delayed updates... not a good track record.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Doug8796:
Bipolar chat in the forums.. 13 Dev 2 comes out Thursday. I would think it will be out by the 15th or so latest.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] numbnutsuk:
Google really is starting to disappoint me with this phone. Bugs in connectivity, late updates you name it ... Expensive phone too.

Put me off Google I must admit I am starting to regret buying this phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jmartin72:
I'm starting to regret it too, but we don't have many other options. Chinese phones that I refuse to buy, or Samsung phones that throttle apps. Right now they are all bad.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krystiano:
Hehe. It's funny.

U can see similar post in every phone topic.

Before use OnePlus 7pro and and was exactly same 🤦🤦🤦

When updating not on time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
There's no other phone worth considering. OnePlus is dead and Samsung has too much bloat and baggage.

I'm sticking with Pixels because at least I know my monthly updates will improve firmware, not just bump security patch level. And they will come every month. I don't worry too much about the delays, but it's a bad look.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krystiano:
I'm agreed with u. 👍

But must be a reason for delay 🤔🤔🤔
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] almahix:
Every day another reason to regret getting a 6 Pro. WTF was I thinking?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] StimmyPizza:
The update rolls out at different times per region doesn't it? That's something to take into account. There could be technical issues of some sort that's causing any sort of delay too.

Just have some patience yall it'll come soon enough
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
The pixel 6 Update is officially delayed by Google. They say later this month. Meaning it has nothing to do with a technical delay for a couple hours.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gordietm:
Apparently, Google support says it will be released on March 21st.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wugga3:
And while I probably shouldn't I'm gonna cause know what I heard... It's gonna be on April 1st. Source: Gazoo

Just one answer for "Where is the March update?" - in March

Sorry I had to 🙈
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 86rickard:
I would rather have a late update that's secure and stable than a bug fest with open back doors.

However looks pretty poor.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HtcDesire2:
If 12L is delayed that means 13DP2 will not be available for p6 series as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimwebb:
Wow...that really sucks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
My opinion is Pixel beats all others specifically for root/unlock bootloader... The pain to do this on any other phone is why I stick to pixel. I can block ads whenever I feel like it. I can give the finger to the ISPs because they charge you for hotspot (what a joke). And I can give a finger to censorship.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wugga3:
In March! Which year??? Oh sorry this ain't the OnePlus forum.... Back to oneplus ....

Sorry I didn't have to ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
OnePlus? They have failed their users as well. Part of the list of why I left OnePlus.... Just saying. A lot of users have switched over and have no complaints for updates. Some of us aren't experiencing issues and I understand the users that are,are frustrated. But, would you rather an update that will fix most issues or some half a$$ed one that still leaves users to suffer?

I also didn't have to but did
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
Likely reason for the delay:

Google's March update breaks contactless payments on some Pixel phones

​
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
It's crazy how people are mentioning Oneplus or moving to Oneplus because an update is 1-2 weeks later. Like Oneplus doesn't even have stable Android 12 yet and you're complaining about a couple week delay?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
Perhaps if you couldn't make or receive a phone call in your office for a month or reconnect to a usable network within 10 minutes or more you wouldn't be so cavalier. You should understand that the delay is a major burden for a lot of users who purchased a device touted to be the best in show yet didn't work as advertised.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
I mentioned those who move due to an update being delayed, not a fringe issue affecting some users. Seems to be an Android 12 issue anyway as some Samsung devices also reported the issue when moving to Android 12
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
There is nothing fringe about the issue. It's not an A12 issue either. This is a major flaw and it's specific to the Pixel 6 series. If it were only a measly update I'd agree with you. But it's not. And let's not even discuss the kernel exploit that's not been fixed even though a fix is out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Birdsfan:
This post isn't meant as a troll but I am becoming a bit disenchanted with the 6 Pro. I'm not as jammed up about the delay in software drop as I am with the battery life, curved screen and stupid glossy back. I don't know what has been killing the battery lately but where I was ending the day with +60% am now in the 30's. I don't have a battery app on my phone to drill down to the culprit(s) but I don't feel like I should have to play whack-a-mole to find out what's killing it. Conversely, I have an iphone 13 pro max that is a back up phone and man o man that thing is a battery whale! I get it, crapple controls more with thier o/s but it's night and day between the two in that regard. While the screen is only moderately curved I still have issues with trying to do things with one hand. A flat panel would have been so much nicer imho. The back, why, why would they go away from something as nice as the white Pixel 4XL frosted glass to this shinny sh!t? Yes I know a case or a skin again, why do I have to? Flat panel, frosted glass, battery king 13 pro max...When/if they drop an AOD they may pull more people in to their hell. A day or two after running a sim in the iphone I feel very dirty and need to take a shower ;) Anyway, I just needed to vent, it's been a long week
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
Yes it is a fringe issue as it is only affecting the minority and it is on other devices running Android 12 so it's not a Pixel issue.

People will voice their complaints more than their positive experiences this is probably why it feels like it's a common issue to you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
I'm sorry but you are mistaken in this entire post. Do a little research and do yourself a favor. No need to rehash this.. no reply needed.

Pixel 6 Should Get March Pixel Feature Drop Update on March 21
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iamshubh69:
Finally a hope
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimwebb:
Maybe the updates weren't quite ready? We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. It is however just a phone. People in Ukraine might like to have this problem right now I would think.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
Yes of course not quite ready but the Pixel 6a is coming out soon and Pixel 7 being worked on 🙄
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] almahix:
Seems kind of like Google has already shifted their focus to Android 13. Android 12 is now yesterday's failure. Moving along.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] opz187:
I have to agree with the other gentleman, this is not just a "fringe issue". It's pretty common. Also the modem in this thing is pure dog💩
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
Yeah it's pretty embarrassing to have my phone out next to my girlfriend's one year old S21 Ultra and it is more updated, AND 5G workd...and last longer, and is faster, and takes pretty great pixtures. Better videos. Louder and better sounding speakers. Bluetooth doesn't drop out with her phone. You can control the screen hz. There's just a lot that those phone is behind on. I was really hoping for better. But I should have known.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] opz187:
Omg the speakers.. These speakers don't get nearly loud enough. My OnePlus 7 pro is 10x louder. super frustrating. Also it seems raising the volume barely has any effect until like the last 3 volume steps (from Max volume).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
I came from the Oneplus 8 Pro and the signal was A1 on that compared to this Pixel, its like I gave up a Rolls Royce and ended up with a Lada
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] opz187:
I know, I feel duped
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
And the fact that they advertised the phone with a 50MP camera, but I see 12MP shots. I literally bought it because I wanted a Half S21 Ultra shot on a Pixel. Didn't happen. The pictures on my Pixel 3a XL were better. No joke.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krystiano:
🤦🤦🤦🥱

U should create threads "crying and complaints"
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
Pixel binning isn't a problem per-say its the hardware lock which means effectively it's not a 50MB camera because no one will ever be able to take 50MB shots
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
I'm alright so will attack all those who have been left in the lurch by Google, lets hope this never happens to you, Jack

When someone sitting beside you is receiving and using a 5G signal, you cannot do so, and you both use the same carrier, what should you tell that carrier in order for THEM to correct the problem?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
so at what time did they say they were going to release the update?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
April 1st.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
No. Google said they will start rolling out the update today, the 21st.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
No it's not because Smarty Mobile have contacted Google and Google have told me it's not compatible even though it's certified in Three UK who own the network and brand, it's the same friggin network N77/N78 which the pixel supports, Three are now in talks with them 🤬
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Shouldn't be long now.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
With all the bugfixes, it's really not clear whether QPR3 and DP2 also have them. The QPR has that really nasty call audio issue. And the modem version situation is still a mess.

How do we update to this version stable version if we are on QPR3 beta?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Successfully upgraded, kept root & data ...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimwebb:
Update is 490MB...That's pretty big is it not? Wow...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Should be the same as the usual way(s), although coming from a Beta to Stable, there is always a chance that dirty flashing won't work as expected, even if the ROM initially seems to work fine. Click the How To Guide quick filter at the top of the list of threads, and there are two or three threads giving the different methods to update. I always use the full factory image method every month.

Disregard, Lughnasadh answered in the post below.

Would you be able to answer @Lughnasadh's question below? Who knows when I'll have time to update. :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I already got the answer. Same kernel as on QPR3 Beta 1 (5.10.66 😞).

But the way, I dirtied flashed the factory image going from QPR3 Beta 1 to today's stable 12.1 update with no problems 👍

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Matterhorn:
I tried using the OTA to update from QPR3 Beta to the new 12.1 update. It says installation failed. Do I need to install a factory image?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Probably would be best if you couldn't do it via OTA. Not sure if you tried via delta or sideloading, but you could also try sideloading the OTA if you don't want to flash the factory image. But I would recommend flashing the factory image (removing the -w from the flash-all.bat file if you want to keep data).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't have much to add to what @Lughnasadh said - just that you're probably referring to the OTA which is meant to be taken from the Stable second February firmware to the new stable 12.1, so it's expected that it wouldn't work from QPR3 Beta.

I always use factory images no matter what, though. :)

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MattiaRs:
Hi guys... I have flashed full march image to my Pixel 6 Pro.

Everything works fine... I only notice this: if I restore factory setting the phone reboot correctly, showing white erasing circl but then show green robot with "Error!" text under it... after this the phone boot correctly.

I'm wonder if "Error!" text is normal and I simply not notice before the update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kastuvas:
updating now, in the UK. takes ages to download for some reason

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fkofilee:
The issue with the Lockscreen / Locking the phone still persists after full factory wipe... Looks like its a genuine bug.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
My 490mb install was fast which seems odd when the last 27MB update took about 30 minutes
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
Mine took like an hour, which is about the same as every update.

One great thing - fingerprint scanner is MUCH better/faster
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fkofilee:
Ive factory defaulted my phone yesterday, I have major issues with the Update to A12.1.

Notifications dont work at all in the background. So odd...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
FWIW: I do NOT experience this. As expected, unlock-->power-->power leads to the unlock screen.

However note that I run g-free GrapheneOS, so seems to me that if there is a bug impacting this procedure, its something part of g-junk.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
only a genuine bug if lots of people have it. Seems you are the only one so far.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
You shouldn't be doing it in quick succession anyway.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Oh except for, you know... double clicking launches the CAMERA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] p51d007:
The only thing I found different, is when you use smart unlock, before, you would swipe to open. Now I have to press the unlock, to open.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fkofilee:
I agree with both of you. It is a genuine bug after speaking to Pixel Support. They are aware of it.

Even doing it slowly, makes no difference. A full 10 / 60 seconds between pressing to lock and then pressing to switch the screen back on leaves me with no interface and the lockscreen doesnt appear.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
ANY cooked ROM doesn't have the radio portion of the rom BUT you will need to Hard SPL your device first. Use Hard SPL V7. It will still appear as an option but you won't need a sim card to run your PPC. Look for the ROM you like, cooked only, and it will update the OS without the radio part. You will always have the phone functions available (even if they don't work) as this is a Mobile phone/PPC forum.If you only wanted a PPC you should have got that instead of the cosiderably more expensive phone.....

If you have "bricked" your phone this will at least allow you to use the PPC part, BUT the phone functions have been cooked into the rom too.

REMEMBER - Hard SPL V7 your PPC 1st...

currently i only have two NICE working games on my phone:

1. Teeter

2. SPB brain evolution

3. Solitaire

Would like to see other games that would look and play great on the touch pro. specially something that uses the g-sensor OR the keyboard. i'd like to see if anyone managed to get emulators working for the TP as well.

What games do YOU have??
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] big3etr:
I have Call Of Duty 2 and Touchdown (helicopter flying game) on top of the few you have listed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] r603:
I have Resco Bubbles on there... It's like teeter sort of. Works great.

I have demo'd the following:

Marble Worlds.. Not bad, but not great.

Snow Rally Canada.. Not so good. Difficult to control

Mini-Dogfight... Not bad. Controls are easier than the snow rally game.

Not very fun though. I played one game and I'll probably never play it again.

Air Hockey Challenge: Doesn't work so great with gyrator enabled... (But I've found most games don't). Not bad... More of a novelty than an actually playable game. I don't plan to buy it.

I'd have to say that overall the games suck. There's nothing close to what I've seen on the iphone commercials. Pretty much everything is graphically worse than what I had on my Atari Lynx (back in the f*in 80's). And as far

as them being fun??? Not at all.

Maybe Call of Duty is good. I'm gonna go look for a demo. I am sadly disappointed so far though.
