Android Pie

If we leave the beta will it factory reset?

I have a Pixel 2 that was on the beta program. I live in Mexico, have Telcel as a service provider and got the Android 9 Pie update. I restarted my phone and no longer get the beta splash screen.

Looks like the invites to beta testing the wellbeing app are being mailed out. I just got mine. Downside: now I'm sure I'll never use it.

on Verizon and enrolled in the beta. Got the update with no issues. Not sure if anything changes but it's there

Not if you have the public release

 

[Almeuit]

No not if you got the official release installed.

On Bell in Candia, update isn't here yet. I thought it was coming later this month, or did I read the wrong things?

My son was using most of the time for Netflix while I was at work. Interesting stats, will see after a day or two what more stuff we see

It's ... different.

It will definitely have to grow on me .. The clock ... app switcher .. the colors ...

Will take some getting used to ..

Some have said removing SIM, rebooting, and then checking while on wifi worked for them.

Pixel 2
P beta
Project Fi

Still no update (so much for being updated 1st)

Anybody here sideload it straight from the latest beta?

Doesn't work since it will know the last registered network, for example my phone was using TMobile sim and I have been using the iPhone X as daily driver for few days now. Today even though mine was on WiFi without any sim, reboot, check for update nothing worked until I put in an AT&T sim and checked for update.

I believe if you had removed the SIM and performed an FDR it would have but that's a bit drastic.

The gestures are terrible. And Android P UI has taken a step back from O.

I have been playing with Android P official release for the first time today and while we will be forced to get used to it, I do not like it. It feels like a beta product to me and has broken a lot of apps (developers will have to update). Took me a lot of research just to get my fibit to be recognized by the bluetooth. The design just feels very...cartoony to me. Does that make sense?

Can't say that I've experienced what you described and I've been on the beta.

Yes that'll work, but no reason to do a full factory reset when I can just put in another carrier sim or side load. Was just explaining that method will not work to force update.

Oh darn. Thought it would.

Well that's a lot of work. Do I have to stand on my head or do a dance too?

So I will say that DP4 seemed more stable to me than DP5 and the battery didn't seem as good on DP5 either.

Honestly I'm back on 8.1 July update with everything setup and running better than my phone has for some time so I'm a bit hesitant to update now, not sure I want to.

Plus I'm on T-Mobile so I can't get it yet anyway, I have been checking My guess is I'll get up in the morning and it will be sitting there waiting to be installed.

For the very first time, my 2 XL and my Pixelbook have actually gone through the motions of Bluetooth pairing. Does this mean Google has actually done something to the BT stack in Pie? My Pixelbook certainly hasn't been updated recently.

Hey I was just trying to help. Don't shoot the messenger

I get you have your issues with it but just remember I didn't program it

Well that's a lot of work. Do I have to stand on my head or do a dance too?
