    Pixel stuck on Aug 5 update

    Wrong, it is the beta unenroll. But if you are running the August 5th update you are not running beta software so it does not wipe your device.

    Pixel stuck on Aug 5 update

    I just unenrolled and received the September update as well. If your Oreo version is August 5th, that is the publicly available version and unenrolling will not wipe your device. I think the wiping only applies to uninstalling a beta version but August 5th update his public not beta.

    Pixel stuck on Aug 5 update

    Interesting. I thought that would wipe my phone. I guess I do have the regular release and not the beta now. maybe I'll give it a go, thx.

    Pixel stuck on Aug 5 update

    My VZW Pixel shows Oreo Aug 5th and when I check for updates it says I'm up to date. The Sept OTA for Oreo has been out for a while hasn't it? Every other month I've been updated OTA within a few days of release. And ideas?

    Pixel missing Sept OTA update

    I'd have to disagree with your assessment. I got my Pixel in November and it's been updated monthly until this month.

    Pixel missing Sept OTA update

    Reading about Blueborne I see there should be a Sept update and patch for Oreo on Pixel OTA. My Verizon Pixel has gotten all updates including Oreo thru Aug but now says up to date and I can't get the Sept update.

    Random reboots, OS updates uninstalling and reinstalling

    Any pointers on how to do that or where to find more info? I have never done this. I rooted a Turbo but otherwise I haven't messed with OS replacement. Can it be done OTA? From where? Or do I need a PC, a bunch of drivers and other software downloaded from unknown sites?

    How to backup phone settings before wiping

    If I want to erase and reset my Pixel, what's the best procedure to save everything, wipe and restore everything? Well I know I have to re-download the apps but what about other settings? Yes, I do mean similar to how if I backup an iPhone, wipe and reset and restore, it looks like before I...

    Random reboots, OS updates uninstalling and reinstalling

    One day in Feb I noticed my Pixel was showing the dancing dots or whatever on the boot screen for several minutes. I had not touched it for quite a while so it was an uncommanded reboot. Then when finally ready it said it was finishing an update. I had just installed the Feb 5 update so this was...

    Reading texts out loud (while driving, for example)

    Activation through the headset yes but it is just activating the phone via holding the side button. On iPhone it activates Siri, on Droid Turbo it activated my choice either Motorola or Google. In Pixel I'm pretty much stock. It activates something with a Google voice but evidently NOT...
