Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update (OTA) 12/5

[idiotekniques]

Just checked for updates and 8.1 showed up. On AT&T with a BB bought 'Verizon' Pixel 2 XL.

Got the 8.1 update on Monday (12/11/17) on my Pixel 2 XL and have experienced no battery drain. Everything is working just fine, and the AR Stickers are so darned cool!

Weird thing for me. I mentioned earlier that I had decided to join the Beta program on the hopes of getting 8.1 sooner. After a couple of days, I then decided today that I'll unenroll form the program and sideload instead. So I unenroll, and moments later, I get a notification for TWO updates (December patch and 8.1). Maybe enrolling and unenrolling is the way to go?!

So when you unenrolled from the beta program it didn't wipe your device?

I'm still on the September patch on my pixel 2 XL and I have cricket. Has anyone gotten the recent update that's on cricket wireless?

Only after I remove the Cricket SIM and installed Verizon sim got there November update 8.1 was side-loaded

Just got my update ota within the past 30 minutes. Didn't check for updates, it just finally pushed through while my phone was sitting idle.

You need to turn it on in developer mode

My virus apps wants me to turn off Developer Mode...
After turning on/activating the PVC processor will it STAY activated if I turn off Developer Mode?

So I just got the update notice and am installing now. My phone just picked it up on it's own I didn't hit the check for updates. Don't know if this has been said or not but good news for those of us on at&t according to the description 8.1 will bring us HD calling.

Just got the 8.1.0 update a few minutes ago. The December security patch came with it.
I got it by checking for updates in the settings menu.

So far so good.

BTW I have the Verizon varient on the Verizon network.

I think it’s 8.1. It just got a notification saying 531.4mb update patch or something

No, it did not. But it could be due to me not even getting the 8.1 beta.

8.1

My pixel C and my pixel XL 2 have both gotten the 8.1 update. But for some reason my go to phone the pixel 2 regular size hasn't received the update yet. I'm beginning to think there might be a problem with getting the update? Has anyone else not yet gotten the update?. I have a Google store bought phone, unbranded with a T-Mobile SIM.

My family got three Pixel 2 XL on the same day from Verizon. My wife has gotten the update. I have not. Don't know if my son has gotten it or not. They have stormtrooper models I have "just black".

Re: 8.1

The updates are rolled out to a small subset of phones first, then in increasingly larger groups, in efforts to allow Google to recognize and address issues that might be missed in internal testing but become evident on more widespread rollout. Generally speaking, you should see the update within about 2 weeks, at the outside, though some devices may see it sooner than others as a function of into which rollout group they are seeded (sometimes I've had a device get it on day 1, sometimes much later - I don't think it's the same every time).

Thank you for that lucid explanation about how the roll out works
