Downloading Android 10 OTA

[GPuba]

My Pixel 2XL is receiving the OTA Android 10 update as I type this on my Pixel 3a (which has not received it as of yet).

Got it on my Pixel 2XL. 1248mb total.

It's out at https://developers.google.com/android/ota if anyone wants to sideload it. The full ROM is at https://developers.google.com/android/images

(I'm going to be needing my phone for a couple of hours straight tomorrow, and I don't want to take any chances that some of the apps I need haven't been updated yet, so I'll be updating on Thursday - during the worst of the hurricane here, which shouldn't be more than 20-30mph winds and as much as 6" of rainfall. If the apps don't work then, I'll just "downdate" to the August Pie - but not tomorrow, I wouldn't be able to.)

Got it here in Manitoba on Rogers. Not on wifi so will wait.

Optimizing my apps as I post. Only took about 7-10 minutes.

WHOA! Mine is 5.4 MB... Why the dramatic difference?

Were you in the beta?

Were you in the beta?

Was going to ask the same question. Mine was the same size and I was coming from beta 6.

I only half like the gesture interface. There's no way that I've found yet to go back to your main home screen without swiping all the way back. Miss the home button.

Just swipe up from bottom of the screen, it will take you to the home screen.

It takes you to A home screen. The last one you were on. I want it to go to the first screen since that's where the most frequently used apps are. For me anyway

Yes

I am pretty sure you can put it back to how it was. I use Nova Prime (sorry, Pixel's Launcher is snooze city), so I can't use the new gesture and, rather, use the option w the pill and arrow. But you can also still use the old shapes.

Ah. Do all three versions act this way?

I installed the Android 10 update on my Pixel 2XL this evening, and my device still has the pill button for return to the home screen and the back arrow for return to the previous page. So far, the only change I've noticed is the appearance of a lock symbol at the top of the lock screen.

Yes

That's why your update was smaller than others, other people had to download the entire OS update while you just needed a "differences" update from beta to release.

Makes total sense.

You can. You can even still do 3 button. But they will get rid of that someday so might as well get used to the gesture.

Same here. And it's still the same double swipe (or slow single swipe) up to get the app drawer to come up... I was going to try to get off of Nova but not if the stock launcher is still gonna work like this...
