I received my Jan update on Jan 5th. I have an unlocked Pixel 2 using MintSim an MVNO of T-Mobile. No issues on my end.

I got the update on my 2 XL yesterday. My 2016 Pixel ( sailfish ) hasnt gotten it yet . Probably will sometime this week .

Pixel 2 XL on Project Fi: Powered it up this morning and almost immediately noted the "O" icon in the notification bar; pulled it down and read that a system update was installing. I was surprised as I had received no notification regarding downloading the update. When it finished installing, I checked to verify, and it was indeed the January 5th update.

You probably have auto updates turned on in developer settings.

Yes, I do. But I have had that turned on since day one, yet this is the first time I've not been notified about the download prior to the installation. Interesting.

Still haven't received my January patch yet I really hope Google fixes the GPS bug liked being able to check for updates and it was available to download immediately. I cannot side load update since my computer is Dead.

What GPS bug?

Got the security patch yesterday.

All is good with phone so far after a re-boot.

I think he's thinking of the Google play services update that borked the check for updates button, and maybe he thinks it's GPS based

Need help. Pixel XL 2 on cricket. installed latest update and MMS went out. Pretty normal like last 2 updates, just had to update APN. Did so this time. Still no MMS. Deleted APNs, added new APNs, soft reset, hard reset, factory reset wipe. Still same issue. Anyone else having MMS issues after install? Installed new SIM. Still no MMS send or receive.

Cricket customer here, just reset your API settings and reenter crickets info, possible you left something out

Unenrolled in Android Beta on both XL and 2XL and Got the January update immediately. I thought I was already unenrolled after the final Android O update.

One thing I noticed after getting this latest update is that when you turn off wifi there is a notification at the bottom of the screen saying mobile data enabled. I don't recall seeing that before this update. Seems to also give that same message when you turn wifi on. Must be a bug.

I don't see anything like that when I turn WiFi off or back on.

That did it for me. BOOM---there's the January security update.

This was the fix for me as well. I had not even bothered checking because I unenrolled when the official 8.1 was released.

My brother has a Nexus (5 I think). When he was here at Christmas he accidentally turned data on using the quick menu. He was surprised he didn't get a message saying it was being turned on because he had "always seen one before". Turns out when he turned data on in the settings menu, he got the message, but not when he used the quick settings.

Anyone notice that battery life is back to being really good after the January update? Doesn't stay at 100% for a long time like on 8.1, but drains slower after that.

I've never seen a difference in battery life with any of the updates.
I still easily get a day's battery life with plenty to spare.
That's all that matters to me.
