Has anyone else got the January update? Nobody's been talking about any changes...

I got this a couple of days ago but have seen no mention of it on this forum. It only seems like a security patch though.
EDIT: This was received in the UK

This too has been suspended.. Hope they'll b able to release a bug free os when they finally do..

Even I was not getting the update then I used the opera VPN and selected my location as Germany and did a force update and got the Jan update

I didn't either, but there are people that have got it today, so it's matter of patience.

There is a thread about this update. Why do you people need to open 100 same threads over and over?

I have been saying that same thing for a long time.

If you are going to be snarky about an existing thread, you could at least post a link to it! This one came up on the search when I started to post a new topic suggesting it was similar to my question.
Here's the question I was going to post, but will post it here instead so there is "not open 100 same threads over and over". (since there was no link to the original post that was about this update and it didn't show up on the suggestions)
I received the first Oreo update on 03-Jan-18: Oreo 8.0.0, Security Patch level December 1, 2017
My understanding is that Xiaomi has started rolling out the second Oreo update that fixes a number of problems in the first release, but I have yet to get it. We own two A1's, and my wife's A1 has yet to get either Oreo update and mine has not received a January security patch or the latest Oreo update.
I'm just wondering if any of you who got the original Oreo update has received the latest one?

Just received it, in India

Fingerprint is faster than before.

Thanks Androidman720. Does it show as a January security level? Maybe it will make its way to Thailand before the end of the month. I'm hoping so.

EDIT: Right after I posted this, it arrived on my phone! Now I just have to decide if I really want to apply it. With all the issues reported, I am not sure. The first update seems to work well for me: no camera lag to speak of (1 sec), notifications work properly as far as I can tell, etc. The only downside is a 'quieter' audio output, so not sure about rolling the dice and applying the upgrade. Will wait a few days to see what others experience.
EDIT 2:
I went ahead and did the update. Sound seems to have changed again. I went into my music app and changed the EQ to Flat and the sound was much better. I did not hear any hissing, even with classical music, but old ears may be the issue there. I don't use BT unless needed, so cannot address that issue. So far, notifications and icons all seem to work as they should. Camera app is unchanged at ~1 second from press of camera icon to ready. Fingerprint reader seems to have gotten faster, though it was no slouch (compared to my iPad) before. So far, battery usage is what I consider normal, but I don't use the phone for a lot of high drain things like watching videos or playing games. My battery easily lasts 2 to 3 days and is what I consider normal. If this changes with the new update, I will update this post.

wft today's feb 2... is it even possible?

Nop

Update is for beta testers, general public should see it in a few weeks.

<IRONY>Just can't wait until someone creates the "correct way to force..." thread.!</IRONY>
Or, just a crazy idea: Relax and wait until Xiaomi tech's distributes it properly! That worked just great with Jan 1 update!!

I just hope it does more than just deliver the monthly security patch. Oreo is far from perfect yet

i need

Based on what ?
Btw majority of the people here doesn't realize how OTA works (pretty much the same as miui), they first push update to a small selection of users and beta testers, if there is some bug they don't push it further, until they solve whatever bug. When the update is ready (they can push several updates to a small selection of people, while the majority will wait) they push it to everyone. That was the case with oreo. And that's why you shouldn't force update by any method, then wait peacefully until the update is ready for everyone. Forcing something that isn't 100% ready by methods that aren't 100% safe will result by whining about millions of bugs and bashing Xiaomi for something that is user's fault.

Yes, you are right indeed, but Oreo in Mi A1 is not perfect. I got my hands in the device in january 29th and received the update in the sameday. I did anything to get the update. Sometimes you just gotta accept that one update is not the way it should. But, for what I've seen, the update was even worse and it's quite good now. Hopefully, it'll be even better with the february update.

I didn't say it's perfect (bad camera for example), but it isn't far from perfect, there isn't perfect rom/android. Oreo is good, I can use the phone every day without any issues, and that's the point.

No forced update, received it round 22 of January and still not a single bug found... And I use my phone like crazy as a dashcam, obd2 scanner, photo making and editing, gps, music player and a lot of multitasking....

Seems like it was posted today..
Anyone flash it or know what it's for?
https://developers.google.com/android/images

Perhaps a fix for sensor issue?

I'd flash and see but ugh.. I have my phone set up perfectly including Google Pay.. May still do it, I'm sick like that!

i know right i didn't wanna flash it since we are a week away from the October build but will there even be an october build now?

Pretty sure there will be. The C3 indicates it's a hotfix release so that shouldn't impact the normal schedule.

So....did anyone flash it yet? Lol

Got it via OTA toda, 1335 MB on C3.
haven't seen anything different, lol.

Can confirm that this build has fixed the swipe up issue for unlocking not working properly - but still suffering from the screen goes blank when on a call (to ear) and then does not turn on again when viewed unless various buttons pressed!.

Got a new update as well

I got it this morning. I have not noticed anything new.

I have that issue, and I'm still on 9.0.

I was chatting with the Pixel team yesterday about something unrelated and was trying to get any info about the C3 update. Instead, I got very evasive runaround about how there is no approved communication. He didn't act like he didn't know what I was talking about but just wanted to change the subject since he wasn't going to say what the "hotfix" was for. I guess this their new strategy after still not disclosing the difference between .19 and .20.

Yeah, they used to be very up front with what the differences are in the builds. Usually they were carrier specific. If I had to guess, this new update fixed some huge security issue that they needed to fix ASAP before the bad guys could take over our phones.

Just take the OTA like good "sheeple." Don't worry about when it will get there, and of course you'd never need to root and block all of those glorious ads.

I flashes this new release yesterday and I may say it is big...I'm still going deep into what's new but haven't found anything relevant yet.

Is that the issue of swiping, or the proximity sensor info not causing the screen to reactive during a call?

Proximity.. I wish that while on a call, no other involuntary touch action could activated... Until hanging up or pressing a deliberate action.

Apparently a hotfix for the sensor bug went out 5.5MB for other pixels... (see the stickied sensor bug thread) Makes you wonder if someone made an oopsie in our case?

I noticed my phone a little bit colder after this update.

It's a pretty big update! It's the same size as the official Android 10 image. Weird.
Any of the 10 features that we haven't gotten yet in there? Like the customization app or whatever? New AOD clocks? I can't remember what all else we were supposed to get. I don't have time today to check it myself.

I received the September update and still the phone has the same issues: inaccurate and slow fingerprint, buggy software so scrolling isn't smooth nor some animations. The fingerprint has improved a little but not much. Disappointing from Samsung: they can't even push a good update to fix the problems and MAKE THE PHONE USABLE! WHY DO SAMSUNG NOT CARE?! DON'T RELEASE A PHONE WITH PROBLEMS AND NOT EVEN FIX THEM WITH AN UPDATE! DON'T JUST MAKE THE PHONE AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE SOFTWARE, WHEN IT'S THE SOFTWARE ALSO THAT MAKES THE PHONE GOOD.

fingerprint slow and inaccurate yes, but scrolling is quite smooth for me, i dont use this phone for gaming and i'm not power user, just ordinary user, apps that i use in this phone is perform like it supposed to do, its fine..
well probably because i never experience flagship phone before ---i was using xiaomi redmi 3 pro before this as a daily driver---, so this kinda "performance" is fine for me, quite happy using it.

Agree to simple use it's just fine. My biggest concern is battery. I hope Samsung planning to address this issue with upcoming updates.

General September Security Updates out, except for the 6a

September Security updates are up for all currently supported Pixels EXCEPT, wait for it, that's right the Pixel 6a. Google claims that it is coming "later this month".... https://9to5google.com/2022/09/06/android-13-pixel-september-update/

well .. that's not why i bought it...or why i did.

Just as long as they take care of the issues, I'm fine waiting for my 6a to be upgraded.

I had the battery thing, but when I switched back to the Pixel Launcher, the problem has gone away and my battery is lasting two days now, during my normal usage.

I agree and don't mind waiting if they tie up a few loose ends.

If you opt into the beta program, you can get the update. Mine is installing now.

Reporting back. The beta release definitely helped out my FPR response. Thank goodness. I'll keep an eye on battery drain now.

Thank you. Downloading now as well.

I am hoping the phone heating issue and the gps issue get resolved.

Good question. Since the FPR is QPR1 B1 is flawless, at least for a large majority of users, and we still have the August security patch level is there some behind the scenes fixes in the stable Sept patch unrelated to the security issues? Hopefully so. Also did the Sept patch update the Google Play system to October which QPR1 did?

Seems like it to me.
Took me hundreds of presses to add a new FP before, this time I think I had 1 fail to read (big scar though that digit too) while adding 3 prints. Quick testing showed roughly 1 fail to unlock out of about 20 tries, where before it was roughly 1 successful unlock in the same 20 tries.
Edit after 2 days use: While it's lots better, it's not as good as my prior phone, a Moto X4. Some may be user issue (X4 had a dedicated reader EXACTLY where I grab the phone from my pocket), some simple exposure (had the X4 for 4 years, 6a for 2 weeks), but I suspect some is the 6a too.

It's been out less than a week. Google rolls new releases out over several weeks time. I wouldn't worry about it unless the next release comes out before you get the current one.
"me too" posts aren't helpful
