Android 12

[rpdc]

I'm anxiously awaiting the final release of Android 12. I'm debating whether or not to do a factory reset after the update. What's the consensus?

Thanks!

I've never done that and have had no issue. I wouldn't unless there were issues after the update. But again it can't hurt to do it anyway.

I agree...if everything works fine I wouldn't bother.

Thank you both for your replies!

I have downloaded and installed to my Pixel 4a 5G! All is well for the most part but I have concluded that Google has no interest in fixing the Trusted Devices feature. Never works for me.

How long was the install time? It's a big file at 1.82 GB

Idk like 3 to 5 min. Took so long I forgot about it.

I think it took about a half hour or maybe less. Her Pixel 4a was A11. Mine didn't take as long because the file size was smaller, probably because my Pixel 4a was on A12 Beta 5. Basically it will take as long as it takes. Patience grasshopper.

Lol, thanks. I am patient. Just deciding whether to wait until the end of the day when I need the phone less.

My update took 35 minutes to complete the process on wifi.

To those who received Android 12 on their 4a, how's the performance and battery life compared to 11?

Seems the same to me.

I see no difference in performance or battery life. It seems to be handling it just fine.

Could be the OS needing to settle in. The new update doesn't show battery life/screen-on time since last charge, but only since 24 hours ago which is idiotic.

I'm hoping the next monthly update improves endurance a bit.

I’ve been on the beta for a while.
I still enjoy how my 4a performs. Might update when 6a comes out but we’ll see.

My 4a battery life has been fine on the A12 official release.

Agree. That's why I'm not spending money on a new device yet.
