Anyone know if beta program participation affects timeliness of official 8.1 ota availability?

I don't know but I hear those identified with Panda Avatars move to the front of the line.

Normally, you have to wait for the official release... That is what happend to me on the BETA 8 release. You can't sideload it.... The only option to get it now is to un-enroll in the beta and then wipe the phone and wait for Google to OTA you the updated file.... In my case (when I was on last years BETA of 8) I waited.... after a few weeks, I got the OTA and it installed without wiping. If you go this route, un-enroll after you get the proper OTA. If you don't, you won't get the monthly updates.

According to what I'm reading we are exiting Beta so everyone should be getting it.

You are..... But if you are enrolled in the BETA, you normally are the last to get the OTA of the official.... You either wait for the official 8.1 OTA or un-enroll to get the update which wipes the phone. You can't sideload the official 8.1 over the DP2.

No actual rush

What is the delay, if any, on Verizon branded devices getting the update?

Re: Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update 12/5

Isn't the 8.1 DP2 pretty much the same as the stable release? Any thing in this release that DP2 doesn't have?

Stability hopefully for any issues that were identified.

Yeah, I can't decide whether to wait a few weeks for the OTA to get the beta's to stable 8.1, or un-enroll, wipe, and side load stable 8.1. Grrrr

I have some very minor Android Auto connection issues that I can work around in Developer mode but I want to make sure it's the Beta and not the phone. I'm hoping to download it soon.

You'd think beta participants would be 1st. Thanks, Google.

So as a Verizon Pixel 2 owner (and brand new to Android) will I not get this soon? I don't know how normal rollout of OS goes for the Google.

I'm thinking this was a false alarm today .... Google delayed for some reason

Didn't I read somewhere that Google recently changed to enable you to request updates by checking for it in android settings instead of having to wait for roll outs? seems like mashing the check for update button still doesn't help. Anyone know more?

Fat chance..... Mash away.... I did for 3 weeks trying to pull the November update... Never happened... Had to resort to other options to get it... Have a feeling this will be no different...
