Did they merged march a12 update with a12.1 ? Version in google website says 12.1.0
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Try exiting the widget section and then reopening it. Should appear after that.
[Google Pixel 6] Arsgb:
Is "hold on me" back with this update?
[Google Pixel 6] JimSmith94:
Is anyone else having trouble downloading the March Factory Image? I've tried twice over the last 30 minutes and get 0 bytes downloaded and eventually fails with a network error. All other websites are working fine.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
nope just grabbed the march factory and sha matched
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
Still not there. I guess I need to get some magic update for Settings Service pushed to me by Play store
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
No network errors but updating over-the-air failed twice when the status bar was about 70 percent done. However, sideloading worked without a glitch (adb in Windows, not the web flasher).
[Google Pixel 6] poit:
Running March update for a few hours now. No obvious problems, fingerprint sensor seems to work a bit better outdoors, which was the worst case before. No connection issues so far (but I never had any before.). So far so good.
[Google Pixel 6] Knockly:
I do not see it either
[Google Pixel 6] Nidstang:
Find the Settings Services app in the Play Store, "uninstall" it (which only removes updates), then update it. You should be good to go after that.
[Google Pixel 6] Knockly:
thank you, worked
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
That worked. But I had to go to the Play Store via app details in Apps menu in Settings, otherwise it would give no search results
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxy Princess:
It's ¾ through the "Optimizing your device" phase. I'll letcha know how it goes. :)
[Google Pixel 6] james8076:
Hi,

Do you know if the new android 12.1.0 has the same theme?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxy Princess:
No, not at a size of only 490MB. Here's my Android 12 page after the update.

EDIT: Sooooooo... why didn't the actual OTA give me A12.1? It only gave me the March security update.

I had to download the OTA from the 9to5google.com article's URL. Google, what is going on with you??
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
That could be a visual bug, according to the Factory Image page it's listed as 12.1.0 with the exact same build number as your screenshot.

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
Mine update OTA.

Calyxos 3.3.0 - Android 12L

March 2022 Securty Update (2022-03-05)

Kernel 5.10.66xxxxx
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxy Princess:
Hi Tom,

Thank you for replying!

So you mean that you took the actual 490MB OTA (not sideload) and yours says 12.1?
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Can't confirm yet, update failed and was stuck in bootloop (rooted). Now back to February update.

However, I meant a visual bug in generic that it only shows A12 and not A12.1(L). The build number itself confirms its A12.1(L)

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] JimSmith94:
It was failing with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, but whatever it was, it's working now and I got it downloaded.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
i flashed the factory image and my settings say

i downloaded and flashed the factory image and my settings have the same information

i also noticed that all the files in the zip have a date of 02 28 2022

so what exactly did i get here. is it 12L or just 12 with security updates?

(everyone notice kernel is jan 21. is that patched for that latest BIG vulnerability found in feb/march?)
[Google Pixel 6] Nidstang:
12L = 12.1, and as long as you have build number SP2A.220305.013.A3 you have 12.1 (per the OTA images repository).

It's showing as 12 for everyone, though. Maybe an oversight, maybe just to keep the marketing straightforward (since only a tiny percentage of users care about such things).
[Google Pixel 6] bush911:
It seems that I got better telephony reception after updating to March build.

Black image: same location, minutes after updating

White image: before updating
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
For Verizon customers this update supposedly enables c-band. So you should get the ultra wideband logo when you connect to it. All pixel 6 and 6pro models will be capable. Which is great but what I don't understand is the pixel 4a 5g 5 and 5anare all capable of it hardware wise but they will not get it. Makes no sence
[Google Pixel 6] strikey17:
Hi. New to P6. Is there a way to go from QPR3 (Beta 1) to stable 12.1 (12L) released recently WITHOUT wiping data?

As far as I've read here and online, no such luck.
[Google Pixel 6] Lorenzopapi99:
Does anyone noticed some improvements about the "mobile network" excessive draining?
[Google Pixel 6] Nebukatnedzar:
Do you also have the problem that the camera flickers since the update?
[Google Pixel 6] bush911:
Nope, no improvement
[Google Pixel 6] umb3rts:
Thanks for the suggestions about the bluetooth widget, how has Google not figured out the correct way to push updates in the Pixel lineup baffles me. Of course it only shows a general percentage for my Oppo Enco X, not the singular earbuds and the case charge.

Question: I still have 1 February 2022 of the Google System Updates, not the Security patches. I have auto update set up, do you all still have last month as well?

Language is Italian but yeah, for my phone this seems updated but it's not, it should be March. https://support.google.com/product-documentation/answer/11412553?hl=en
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
I don't think you can get away without wiping data. But in this case it's probably better. I was in the same situation as you I have been trying to go back to stable once I realized that the beta program was continuing. So I waited for this stable android 12 and tried it's but I could tell by the size of the download I could tell they were just giving me the beta again. So I used android flash tool worked great. I am starting fresh. It's a little more work but it's the cleanest install.
[Google Pixel 6] Lughnasadh:
Yes. Just use the flash-all method and remove the -w from the flash-all.bat script beforehand to keep data.

Alternatively, you can use Android Flash Tool.
[Google Pixel 6] dwork1742:
Software update won't fix a crappy modem :/
[Google Pixel 6] Lorenzopapi99:
nope
[Google Pixel 6] arvylas:
For me it got fixed 3 days ago. I'm on qpr3 beta since it got released. For the first time I have 0.8%/hr idle with dual sim while I used to have 1.5. so I suppose it is not the radio but rather an app that was updated. The only 2 apps that were updated was the play services to the latest beta and the Google connectivity services.
[Google Pixel 6] Lorenzopapi99:
Do you mean ''Phone idle''? Because i'm interested in ''Mobile network'', they drain 28% of the battery usage (in comparison the screen 17%)
[Google Pixel 6] tensux:
all day affair lol, i have never seen updates take this long on any other phone
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxy Princess:
Yes it took a while; that's for sure! But that's fine, I've got plenty else to do while that's simmering. ☺️
[Google Pixel 6] arvylas:
Yes I meant with phone idle. This value has no actual value. For me it's reading 35% and I have the best battery life of the last few months.
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
Does anyone else have the issue with gesture navigation swipe up to bring up a carousel of open applications not working occasionally?
[Google Pixel 6] swyner:
Anyone notice immediate vibration reduction on notifications? Sounds (and feels) like the haptic is on 50% but I checked and all my vibration sliders are 100% to the right. Happened right after update. Reboot did nothing
[Google Pixel 6] swyner:
Not yet. But will keep an eye out
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
Wasn't paying attention to that so I cannot confirm, but after the update I have more haptics (in more situations) than before
[Google Pixel 6] fuxmen:
When I'm going home with swipe up almost always for a brief moment last app shows on desktop then disappear.
[Google Pixel 6] swyner:
Nope, definitely don't see that. I guess we are back to infamous google **** updates. My haptics went from nice and dominant to weak and broken like. Ugh.
[Google Pixel 6] pemz82:
I havn't noticed haptics in new situations but there is now different haptics dependent on the notification.

For example I feel a weaker and slower double vibration for a Facebook notification.

For a WhatsApp or Facebook messenger I still get the original stronger double vibration. Anyone else seeing (feeling) similar?
[Google Pixel 6] Sui77:
I'm on S3B1.220218.004, should be the beta 12.1.

Is there a fresher version for 12.1?
[Google Pixel 6] Nidstang:
Not sure -- I'm not in the beta program, and I don't think those numbers are publicly posted by Google.

Is that the beta for the March update or the beta for the June update?
[Google Pixel 6] Nidstang:
There were two Google Play system updates available for me late afternoon today. Brought me to March 1, 2022.
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxy Princess:
Hey fam, not sure who's here to help... I need to flash the factory image on my locked Verizon Pixel 6 Pro via ADB, and of course ADB can't unlock the bootloader when I boot to it, so: what do I do to get this factory image on my phone? :(
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
Normally I'd say you can't. But they have this new fangled thing out called Android flash tool I think it's called. I think that will work for you. I never used it but everyone raves about it.
[Google Pixel 6] strikey17:
That's my battery usage WHILE I was asleep. I haven't used the phone from 2300 until 745 am. 50% gone with the wind on QPR3.
[Google Pixel 6] Sui77:
I think it's for the June one, feature drop
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
Reported the blinding flash when unlocking is fixed in the March update. Well finally the orange spots in my eyes have cleared this morning after another blinding flash at 5am. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
[Google Pixel 6] krotin:
flashing march update while following usual guide I got a corrupt device.

Did it like this :

Spoiler: Update and Root Factory Image

Please note that the factory update process expects an updated bootloader and radio. If these are not up to date, the update will fail.

Download the factory zip and extract the contents.

Reboot to bootloader.

Spoiler: Update bootloader if necessary

Spoiler: Update radio if necessary

Apply update:

Code:

fastboot update --skip-reboot image-codename-buildnumber.zip

When the update completes, the device will be in fastbootd. Reboot to bootloader.

Boot the master root image (See note 1):

Code:

fastboot boot <drag and drop master root.img here>

Note: If you prefer, you can manually patch the new boot image, then flash it after the update. Do not flash an older boot image after updating.

Your device should boot with root. Open Magisk, tap Install, and select Direct Install.

Reboot your device. You should now be updated with root.
[Google Pixel 6] rbouza1:
Always disabled magisk modules if you have any
[Google Pixel 6] bobbarker2:
that wouldn't lead to a corrupt device. I get the Corrupt Device screen randomly when I update using same method you described, though the device will still boot. Somehow I made it go away the 1st Feb update and was on blu_spark kernel. I updated to the 2nd Feb update, flashed blu_spark and then I had the Corrupt Device screen and was unable to boot until I flashed a stock magisk patched boot image.

Try "fastboot set_active X" where X is the slot that is not currently active and do a flash-all (without the -w). Then go back to bootloader and switch back to the slot that was active and repeat.
[Google Pixel 6] swyner:
Exactly this. Outlook and messages (most of my notifications) are 2 weaker pulses but it seems Facebook and what's app are the old stronger double pulse.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
I noticed that it's kinda hesitant when I try to bring it up from the home screen. But if I'm in an app it seems to work fine. I have never seen a phone have so many problems one update fixes a bunch and causes a whole slew of others. I can see if it was one here one there but this is just ridiculous. I should have followed my instinct and waited for the pixel 7. This phone has too many new things well new to Google. They haven't figured out how to maintain it smoothly yet. Hopefully it will be better on the 7
[Google Pixel 6] mosio:
Gesture navigation issue is a thing, it was already reported on reddit across multiple Pixel devices after March update. Great...

Edit: I think it's a bug in Pixel Launcher, because I don't experience it on Nova
[Google Pixel 6] krotin:
I had none and was running blu spark prior to upgrade. I could not flash stock again cause device became a brick and does not turn on whatsoever. It's going back under warranty
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
I see this update did absolutely nothing for mobile network standby. Mine is using 34%!!! Even my screen only uses 8% that is crazy. And I am on a clean install. I did not restore anything at all. I started completely fresh so this is just a big issue. My battery goes from 80% to 15% on 8 hours with light usage. I'm at work so I can't really use my phone just checking text messages really. Occasionally checking an article on my news feed while I'm taking a bathroom break.
[Google Pixel 6] strikey17:
Mine is normal (still not as good as on S21 ) since I wiped and went form QPR3 Beat 1 to the stable March update (12.1). On QPR Mobile netowrk was about 50% and I would lose about 50% batery charge while sleeping 911pm to 7 am). Now it's about 15% for 24 hours, while the screen is 17% in the same period.
[Google Pixel 6] Galaxy Princess:
I did the exact same as you, and I'm seeing the same results as well. What the heck is Google doing?
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
I honestly think it's the modem itself and not a software issue. Maybe because of all the 5g stuff in it I don't know. I just know that I have had every pixel in the series and they all has 1% or less occasionally 2 or 3% but never 30% 5his is just ridiculous. I'm sure that they will work all these issues out. It's basically a completely new phone now and it's also basically a Samsung in disguise. A lot of the components are.made by Samsung the chip,modem,screen,ram, cameras to name a few. I wouldn't be surprised if the wifi radio was Samsung's also because my wifi seems like it works much better than past pixels. But this being a first of it's kind phone there was bound to be issues and road bumps. The 7 should basically be theirs phone refined.
[Google Pixel 6] opz187:
There's another update today fyi
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
Really? A new security update? Or play services update?

Edit: oh you mean a new beta build. I really don't want to be back on beta. I mean I will most likely join android 13 beta 3. But now we have to watch out because I was stuck in beta and had to fully wipe my device because Google gave no warning that the beta program was continuing and I updated and then found out that there was no way out. I had to wait for 12L stable to come to the p6 and then use the android flash tool.
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
If you don't use 5G, force the mobile to LTE/WDCMA.

Dialer: *#*#4636#*#* and select NR/LTE/WDCMA

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] gnite6:
Since this update, whenever I pull down the shade, the now playing thingy gets pushed too low and disappears partly behind the screen edge. I think the VPN status is at fault here, it got bloated in size.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
Since the March update my fingerprint sensor went from mostly useless to 100 percent useless. In fact, screen taps over all feel less responsive than before. And mobile drains battery faster than before. At least wi-fi stopped flickering off-on-off-on-off...

I can see the Pixel 7 reviewer buzz already: "What the 6 should've been."
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
I don't know where you're from or where you got the phone but you should get a replacement if at all possible.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
on the feb update i had a far too touchy screen and some wifi issues with disconnecting. so far everything is better, had to redo my fingerprint but it was worth it. now if they could stop the ugly lock screen, massive quick setting buttons and unpredictable power use this might be a usable phone. or i will go to proton or some other custom rom.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
This is consistent with what I've seen. But I think I'm having UI issues I haven't had before, like Gcam stalling and unable to back out. Suddenly new problems after a stable first couple months, so something in my Pixel must have gone sour recently. Odd that normally it's rooted but not since the last update. Time for a reset I guess.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
I don't know

If the issue with the modem using 30% battery is going to get fixed. I think it's just a crappy modem. I could be a software issue but it doesn't seem like it. I would think they would have fixed that by now. It's really annoying. When I'm at work I barley use my phone and my battery goes from 80 to 20 in 7 or 8 hours
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
I vote for giving your P6 an exorcism.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
Freeze Chrome?
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
you have some serious issues, im not on 5g ( but have two lines active) and have never seen battery worse then 1.5% an hour not in use and 8% and hour when in use, which is not very exciting when you think about how big the battery is

mobile network using 49% of the battery really means **** if you are only .8% of the battery every hour on not in use.. whick is where i am today in the last 4 hours
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
All my other pixels never had a problem. Including the 4xl which everyone said had terrible battery life. Mine list maybe 1% overnight. But this phone is a whole different ballgame. Sometimes I lose 6 to 10 percent overnight. And according to accubattery my battery health is 104% so I don't think it's my battery. The only thing that is out of place is the mobile network. All the other number line up with or at least close to my previous pixels. That's what makes me think it's the culprit. And even in safe mode it still happens. I don't know. At this point it's just whatever. I plan on getting the pixel 7 or possible the pixel notepad. But the foldable pixel is the same as the 6 a first of it's kind for google
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
I wiped and flashed the factory image last night and my Pixel is behaving today. Haven't yet tried the fingerprint sensor but I don't expect it to be usable. I'm coming to grips with what seems an incompatibility between my fingers and in-screen flash sensors. With lowered expectations comes lowered blood pressure.

edit: Heat and clammy fingers made a difference. I was able to enroll forefingers and a thumb after holding a hot coffee mug. At room temp entry works but it takes a couple tries. My best result so far.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
how is your signal strength?

have you turned off any bells and whistles what could be useing power like that automatic song finding app and voice command?

i cant image anyone getting that bad of power use unless it was constantly switching between 4g and 5g ( which i have had happen in rare cases)

by battery , when you think the battery on the pixel 4 is 2800ma and the battery on the pixel6 is 4600ma using 1% an hour means much more on the pixel6.
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
My signal is good while I'm out and about. But at work where I experience the really bad battery drain my signal is garbage. I work in one of those super gas stations and no one gets reception doesn't matter what phone or what carrier. I suspect because there is so much electrical interference and the area itself has poor reception because when I'm riding my bike I can see the reception get worse when I get in the area.

Now I have had that job since the pixel 4xl and both the 4 and 5 experienced poor reception and poor battery there too but not like this.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the searching for signal. Especially when I go in the walk-in cooler or freezer and lose reception completely which I do often. But the pixel 6 will completly lose signal even when I'm out on the sales floor which the other two did not. They always had a signal even if it was poor. And I don't use always on display or the now playing feature. I 5hink they are a waste. I wonder if I put my.phone in airplane.mode one day for my shift and see what kind of battery life I get. I bet it is a whole different phone. It also seems to be the same thing at home. Well it was when I was on fi. Now that I'm on Verizon my reception at home is decent. But my cellular.network is still using 30% I'm going to try a test and leave my mobile data off when I get home and then airplane mode when I get to work and see what happs the next day. Oh and I forgot to mention there is no wifi at work at all so my phone is pretty.much useless when I'm at work anyway.
[Google Pixel 6] rfec:
I had to set up bedtime again (to turn off screen durin charging), but otherwise working as it should.

Fingerprint reader seems to be faster than before.
[Google Pixel 6] nutzfreelance:
have you tried 4g only and 3g only settings while at work?
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
Well I used to be on fi so when I had my p5 and when I first got the p6 I had used the 4636 menu and taken off nr. But I didn't really notice anything.different but at that time I wasn't really checking that closely. Now I'm on Verizon so I can just change it to LTE. And see how that goes. But I know that cell service is just terrible there.

This weekend while at home I put my phone in airplane mode and then turned wifi on. I just checked the mobile network went down to 8% my top battery drainers we're the pixel launcher 13% and google 10%. I usually don't need to charge my phone over the weekend unless I'm going out (which I don't do much these days)
[Google Pixel 6] Captain Kangaroo:
I experienced a strange thing while starting 03 update; download didn't start because too low battery charge !!!

Surprizingly, my battery shows 100% charged - I have been due to plug on sector to complete download and update ! Any idea or experience ?
[Google Pixel 6] krotin:
Just to let you know I tried flashing march update with systemless module on and universal system fix.

My phone became a brick after I was told my device was insecure.

It has been replaced under warranty

[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Kukunin:
Hello here.

I recently (1-2 weeks ago) bought a new OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren from T-Mobile and I'm really happy with it. It came with Android 10, but then I installed Android 11 via OTA.

I did no roots, no flashes, no other modifications.

it worked with Verizon SIM-card but then I switched to T-Mobile.

Starting a day or two after I switched to T-Mobile, I start receiving modem crashes, 5-6 crashes per day. Crashes happen while the phone is idling. I just come and see the crash dump.

It says:

Qualcomm CrashDump Mode

------

ssr:return:MPSS:qmi_oem_svc.c:1310:oem:go_to_error_fata
SDX5x esoc0
modem crash
mdm_get_restart_reason

I can restart after it using Vol Up + Power button, and it loads fine.

I found the following commands to reset modem data partitions:

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

Is it safe to wipe modemst1/2 partitions for 7T Pro? I know that some devices keep their IMEI (for 2nd SIM for example) inside those partitions.

Is it a known problem? Is there another solution for that? Are there other modems I can flash and hope they won't crash?

Thank you so much.
