Pixel XL system update?

[mzanette]

I'm getting a Pixel XL system update today. I'm on the Bell network in Canada. I was already on 7.1 Nov security fix from the 5th. This update is 263.3MB

Anyone know what this is?

At about 80% now on step 2. I'll give you the details of what the build version is, if I notice anything after the update (doubtful as it's most likely just bug fixing)

From what I'm seeing posted on Reddit, build should be NPF26J. It sounds like it's mostly bug fixes and also adds double tap to wake and lift to wake under the "moves" settings.

If it's bug fixing and I receive it, I'll definitely take it as here I'm the US being on Verizon I have many bugs

If they have it how come we don't have it here for verizon? I thought Google controlling these updates

Double tap and lift to wake would be more then welcome for me! Just fix my connectivity issues along with this and I'd be happy

It sounds like the first people just started getting it an hour or so ago. It'll take some time before everyone gets it. Interestingly, I think everyone on Reddit who has reported getting the update is in Canada. Nobody in the US seems to have it yet regardless of carrier, etc.

Update just completed. Build number is NPF26J

 

[mzanette]

Right away I see two new gestures have been added.

1. Double-tap to check phone
2. Lift to check phone

 

[mzanette]

Baseband and kernel have also been updated. User on Reddit noticed.

 

[mzanette]

Only in Canada so far. Might be a preview build that got accidentally released.

Google Pixel update in Canada adds double-tap and lift to check notification, seems like an accidental rollout

 

[Allenhardiman]

Havent received it in USA

If anyone has this can list some other features or fixes they may have found please keep us informed. The front page of Android Central States that it may also address 4g lite connectivity issues for some but that has not been reported or definitely confirmed

Someone on the Pixel Google community is reporting it has fixed car bluetooth issues that many are experiencing

 

[Lobwedgephil]

Man I've been waiting for those two gestures. Hurry and get to mine!

 

[DJM626]

That's very encouraging ! One would think that it would fix 4G connectivity issues as well

Raise to wake and tap to wake are huge. I was really going to miss these.

Bluetooth stuttering issue seemed better, I was driving home and only got 2 blips but it was still there. Admittedly I hadn't done a phone reboot after the update AND I didn't re-pair my Bluetooth device (forget it and then set it up again). I'll test again once that's done and see if Bluetooth audio still stutters.

Sounds like a great update!

 

[DJM626]

Can anyone that has gotten this update today confirm the changes? Has the Bluetooth issue been resolved? Has the 4G connectivity been resolved ? How does everything else work? Someone out there must have this ?
