You can download the Android 11 preview if you unlock your bootloader, but I wouldn't bother until Google puts out the last Android 11 Preview because you'd just end up riddling you Ph-1 with bugs. But if your Essential Ph-1 is not your daily driver/main phone, have fun, load Android 11...

Yeah, I'm thinking if that's what Rubin puts out, I'm going to be switching to the LG G8 ThinQ or G9 ThinQ when my Essential is on it's last leg. The LG G8 can be bought new for $350 to $450 Canadian on eBay and other places and it has the Snapdragon 855 and a better camera than the Essential Ph-1

Just the LG Bloatware. I'm using the Canadian mobile provider #FreedomMobile who doesn't add bloatware to your phone.

I don't want yo buy another program.

What is the max bloatware that we can remove from the LG G8 ThinQ? I am spoiled using the Essential Ph1 and before that I had the Pixel 1 XL which both had no bloatware? If you can not delete certain bloatware, can you disable the bloatware on the LG G8 ThinQ?

I was at a store called The Source here in Canada and when I went to look at the LG G8's internal storage, the G8 said that it was using 120gs of the 128gs. Is it usually the case that the pre-installed apps and the operating system (OS) take up 120gs and only leave you with 8gs of internal...

The latest on the Essential Ph-2 ; https://mobilesyrup.com/2019/10/08/essential-phone-andy-rubin-new-phone-2019/

Android 10 Official public release is on my Essential Ph-1 now and works fine. Didn't have Android 10 Beta first. Updated from Android Pie directly. Note: After downloading and installing, when asked to Restart your Essential Ph1 make sure you restart your Ph1 the usual way and be very patient...

Actually my Google Pixel 1 XL started with Android 7 Nougat and is in the process of downloading Android 10 public release after rocking the Android 10 Beta. As far as my Essential Ph-1 downloading Android 10, whether it is a Beta or Public release, I'm going to study my Pixel for a bit and...

I'm using Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced 2.2.190716.1800 Based on Google Camera 6.2.030.244457635_49456748

You need to download the Google Camera 6.2 APK. I have it on my Essential PH-1 and everything works including the selfie camera unlike the 6.1 version. Forgot to say, I'm on Android Pie. I have Q beta on my old Pixel 1 XL which has a battery that can't hold a charge and needs to be plugged in...

I don't have a Pixel 2 XL but I do have a Pixel 1 XL. I had to send it back to Google and they replaced it. The second Pixel 1 XL never had the same battery power and as soon as Android Pie was downloaded onto my Pixel 1 XL, the battery died and was never able to hold a charge longer than 1...

We just finished paying off my husband's tab for his ZTE Grand X 4 and now it has decided to not function. I wonder if provider sent a virus into the phone! Another reason to buy phone's outright.
