Got Oreo on Nexus 6P from Beta

[wan2run]

Haven't received it yet either...

Still waiting here also. In beta program. Sprint network.

I have been in the beta program from day one and haven't received the final Oreo update yet. My nephew enrolled today and got it. We are both on Project Fi. I guess the final beta version is so close to the final version, we will get it later than earlier.

This isn't the first time Google has screwed up updates for the beta program. At the end of last year's program, updates for the Nexus 6 were thoroughly bolloxed. My Nexus 6 never received another OTA after September 2016. I won't be a bit surprised if a similarly never-acknowledged "issue" affects the 6P this year.

Okay I'm a glutton for punishment. I un-enrolled from the beta, wiped the phone, reinstalled Nougat, re-enrolled in the beta, and am now down loading the final version of Oreo 8.0
Jeezus does it really have to be this hard ...

I hope it doesn't come to that. I'm (patiently) waiting a little longer, simply because I don't want to have to do that. I'd like to think they'd fix the problem. "Be the first to test/checkout all the new features of preview editions before the general public, then be the last (if at all) to get the final, finished version.".

If you bothered to reload Nougat why didn't you just load the final bits for Oreo? Seems like it would have been a more direct approach.

Let's not defend inefficiency. A more direct approach would've been to tap software update and the final version loaded. Thats never been the case with an Android os update, it's always some hoop to jump through ...

Let's not confuse your time line with Google's - I'm willing to bet that if you waited a month or so you'd indeed be able to select 'Check for update' and your device would find the update and install it. If you're in a rush then you're welcome to explore the two alternative paths (join Beta; flash manually) to get it right away.

I've gone down both alternate paths before and this time I'm content to wait until it knocks on my door.

That's all I did. Day 1, I hit update, waited for about 30sec, download started, final version, updated and no issues.

That's all I did. Day 1, I hit update, waited for about 30sec, download started, final version, updated and no issues.

Let's also assume that checking for an update and actually getting one is the exception that proves the rule. I'm on DP4 and in the beta program, and I have now, on Day 6, given up on checking for updates manually.

Were you in the beta program when you did that? Also, where are you located and what network?

Yes, I had Beta DP4, and I am in the Seattle area on Verizon.

I definitely think your the exception. After trying to manually update on several occasions to no avail (oh, except the fact that it sent me an update for Nougat because I was (supposedly) no longer in the beta. What???), I'm just going to chill and wait till it happens...

Same here, I have tried to no avail to update. Just going to give up until an automatic update comes through.

Anyone else seeing battery life issues?

I was on the Beta with no issues other than some minor stability weirdness. I got the update less than an hour after it was announced. It was a short update and didnt see anything majorly different. Until today. My battery was drained by noon. I had a standby time of about 7 hours but screen-on time of only 49 MIN!!!

Did you wipe your system cache? I only found one absolute battery drain after the update and that was Facebook Groups, which I no longer use anyway,so immediately uninstalled. Keep an eye out for those rogue apps.

I've been on beta for a while and still haven't received it yet. My wife's 5x did though....we're on Project Fi.

Just curious if you got the update yet? I still have not received the update yet on Project Fi

 

[wan2run]

Nope, still mashing the update button and still no update. I really don't want to remove the device from the beta and erase everything just to get the released version....
