Yeah. Let's hope it fixes a bunch of things....I mean they're gonna have like a month to do it. Also I'm thinking this might go along with the October security update or maybe even Oreo but I'm not gonna get my hopes up for the latter lol

Yeah... few weeks sounds like Oct. security patch, possibly bug fixes too from Essential. Oct. is just a few days away, Google pushes security updates at the beginning of the month, Essential is aiming for updates 2 weeks after Google. So, couple of weeks looks like Security Update at the very least.

What are the new features on 5.1.1 update?
That's a sweet list. I wish they wouldn't have even bothered with the 5.1.1 update, and instead used that time to get the marshmallow 6.x update out the door and available to all of us a little bit quicker.
Still haven't heard of a potential release window for the update, but I would be plesently surprised if it was anytime before the end of January.

apparently the potential release date is Q1 2016, so we're probably gonna get it in august
My phone model is SMG970W. I got the OTA update for the June security patch around the end of June. Because I wasn't on WiFi at the time, I swiped away the update to get back to it at a later time. But when I searched for an update later, it kept saying I was already on the latest update. And it has been like this since. July's almost ending, I'm still on the May Security patch, no update in sight. Did everyone else get their updates?
New to OnePlus. Bought the OnePlus 8T when it came out. And I've received a couple of system updates. But, I'm still on the October security patch. How often do they release security updates? Or how far behind do they tend to stay on security updates?
USUALLY....they roll out security updates bi-monthly. Sometimes it will come a little later.
To get the fastest updates after release then use Oxygen Updater from the Play Store.
I have had three OnePlus phones and continue to use OnePlus. I have also used Oxygen Updater on all three without any issues at all.
Now the rub here is that when you do finally get the latest security update...it will probably still be a month behind.
So, hopefully we will get the update in early January, 2021...but it will most likely be the December, 2020 security patch. So while OnePlus is pretty good at fulfilling their bi-monthly policy of security updates, they are almost always (always) a month behind.
Yeah, I'm absolutely loving the OnePlus phone. I've been a Google phone user for years. It looks like I'll be sticking with OnePlus... At least for the foreseeable future. Waiting to see what the 9 Pro is going to be like and may move to that. Just wasn't sure how the security patches worked. Thank you!
First time that a Pixel device (as far as I remember) ended monthly updates on exactly the expiration date. I totally forgot that October 31 was the last day until I saw that newer devices received updates today while the 3 and 3xl had not.
Yep. We should get one massive "quality" update next month, and then that's it. Since we now have 12 I'll probably keep the 3XL until the 7 comes out to keep the OS updates going since my phone is pretty much flawless, and I just got a new battery for it about 4 months ago.
The Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL will get one final software update next year
The final Google Pixel 3 update will likely only bring some minor bug fixes for the three-year-old smartphone when it finally drops.

Update released today. https://www.droid-life.com/2022/02/07/pixel-3-gets-what-should-be-its-final-update/
Updated my 3XL this morning via OTA sideload. No issues with the update or functionally after update. One issue that is mentioned in this article https://www.androidpolice.com/googl...Taro on,still displays October after updating is occurring on mine (probably everyone) where it still shows the October security update.

Same for me showing Oct security update
Same here.
The two things that we can praise its the improvements in smoothness and it feels mutch faster than before.
With only 12Mb, I have no idea what they fixed beside that.
Surprise update for the 3/3XL: https://www.androidpolice.com/the-pixel-3-and-3-xl-last-update/

This is really infuriating especially considering that Samsung is rolling out the August updates to their phones. I really wonder at times if the Pixel software team is a couple of folks kept in a back room. It really seems that as time goes on Google cares less and less about providing timely bug free updates to the Pixel line.
There were several times since the P6/P6 Pro release that Google delayed those updates, but it's very rare Google delays the entire line of updates. Definitely frustrating!
I wonder if the reports of p6a fingerprint sensor allowing for non registered fingers is the root cause to pull the updates so close to release.

No. If there was a specific issue with the P6a software update, they simply would have delayed that image from being released. They still would have released the update for the rest of the Pixel lineup. As I mentioned above, this has happened with many of the initial P6/P6 Pro updates where Google delayed those updates due to bugs, but released the rest of the Pixel updates on time.
EDIT - Perhaps you are speaking of the "missing" July update. I initially though you where speaking about the delayed Aug updates. However I don't think Google "pulled" a July update - I simply don't think it existed. Google isn't going to waste the time and resources in creating a monthly update for a phone that isn't released yet. I'm assuming Google was planning a regular Aug release which would include all the needed updates to the P6a which should have been released just days after the phone was released.

Updates are generally delayed because they found an issue that they didn't want to push to the general public.
Be patient. The update will come. Would you rather have a good patch that's a little late, or a broken update on time?
Of course, some people will complain either way...
