Does the fact that I'm running the Oreo 8.1 beta DP2 impact whether and when I receive the OTA? Thanks.

Yeah.... I waited over 3 weeks for the November and then chose the "clear framework data"method and then I got it moments after...

But, I don't suggest anyone do that.... It killed a number of notifications and the phone went a tad wonky... Bad enough that I had to reset it and it is still not 100% as it was before...

So, await I shall this time or sideload it.... Then maybe a complete reset after just to get it right...

Yeah, tried this method(framework clear) for the November patch and it turned out poorly. Had to FDR to get things back together. I won't be trying it again.

Sounds like you were on the old one (September) and not the November one.

Yup and for some reason the October/November version never came through.

Don't think so, it didn't for me when I had my Nexus 6P, still got timely updates.

Unfortunately my experience was the same and I'll never use the 'clear framework data' method again. There were a lot of little nit-picky problems that took some time and effort to correct. Immediately after I did it someone posted an old article about why it was a bad method. I wish I had seen that article earlier. I'll edit this post if I can find the article.

Re: Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update Tomorrow

Hoping 8.1 fixes phone call speaker buzz, battery drain, and inconsistent Bluetooth on my Pixel 2.

It didn't for me....I still have it. What about you?

OTA.
But I cleared cache and memory on Google Services Framework first and restarted the phone. Then I went to system update and asked it to check for an update and it showed up.

Before doing that, nothing. Kept getting the message that the phone was on the latest version with September security patch.

Even if it got you the update I don't recommend clearing stuff from framework. That can cause other issues. One of them being Google's find my device may not recognize your phone. Also the beta program might not recognize your device.

It loses your phone information in Google for one.

Re: Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update 12/5

I just sideloaded.... Tired of the waiting game... Was surprised how easy it was.... all is good.... Now to either sit and see how it goes or reset the device to just have a clean install... hmmmmmm

I might have to do a FDR in that case.

For those of you brave enough to go down the deleting Services Framework route, try taking the SIM out first. No idea why but this worked for me when leaving it in didn't.

Re: Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update 12/5

If it doesn't come via OTA, I'll be sideloading when I get back to my laptop Friday evening.

I do not advice anyone deleting anything from Framework. It causes other problems.

Also, it could be that it's just a coincidence that doing so gets you the update.
