I am getting my Pixel C tomorrow, but I wanted to ask the people that installed the May security update, if they experience the issue mentioned above. Thanks.

I haven't had any issues with mine after updating, thankfully.

Something definitely seems to be off with the May update. I've had 2 different problems after the May update with 2 different pixel c's.

See This Thread

Also saw some murmurs of issues on the GooglePixelC subreddit.

I got my Pixel C today and also installed the May update. No issues whatsoever so far. I am really impressed by the build quality of the Pixel C. What an amazing tablet

I'm so jealous! Ordered mine, but no ship notice from Google yet. Hope security update doesn't cause a problem!

Just install the beta for N...

My understanding is that the reboots occur when the tablet is not actively in use? How does one know whether it is happening then? I read that some see the reboots after getting a notification, so I used Hangouts from my Nexus 7 to create a notification on the Pixel C. No reboot. But are there other signs I should watch for?

So far very pleased with my Pixel C, seems fast and responsive, but really haven't used much yet since it arrived with almost no charge on the battery.

If you have a lock on preboot it would have the black screen with the pin/pattern challenge after reboot.

I didn't know about this bug until today but I think it happened to me once on the May build.

So far so good with the beta.

Well....got my third Pixel C yesterday. Did all the updates through May so far so good. No random reboots like Pixel C #1 and no loss of OS like Pixel C #2. Glad to have this otherwise great device back again.

If I have any more issues I will likely flash/fix myself. I would have done that with the 2nd version once it became apparent this was a more common software issue, but it also had a dead pixel so didn't seem worth the effort.
