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.

Always On display

Hi!
Monday I've bought my new OP6. I used it for about 6 hours before I installed the software update with the May security patch. Now, before I installed it, I was capable of using the Always On function that was available in the Settings menu, keeping the screen on with the clock, battery level, messages, etc. After installing the update, I noticed there was only Ambient Display available.
I didn't read any comments about this subject yet, but did anyone else noticed this as well? Maybe it was something that didn't make it to the final software?

Always On Display was removed on the latest update.
I hope to see it back soon, I loved the look of it.

What were the changes in the recent update? Just security patches? Maybe it would be better to hold on with the update, not to lose AOD.

Okay, so it wasn't just me luckily. Hopefully it will be back later on. Thanks for the replies.

From what I know:
1. The option to hide the notch was added, it was only an info before
2. Camera slow motion
3. The AOD was removed
@Donnie Sins
I hope to see it back in beta (at least). I had an OP 3T before and was on beta since it started.

There must have been an issue with it then. Hopefully it'll make a return as I do like using AOD. Could have been screen retention issues or a drain on battery I guess.

Android Pie Update is here!

The update is here! I bought mine in Dubai! Not sure when other regions get the update! The wait was long!

The update was pulled due to a game booster issue which caused games to appear as a black screen. I'm sure they will fix it and re-release the update soon.

Damn... Is it working now? Any fix you found? My game booster isn't working like most people who updated, but at least the games are working after reseting Game booster.

I uninstalled the updates on YouTube and my WiFi started working. I then went on YouTube and updated it. All is good again. Phone appears to work much better and battery life is improved ?

Anyone have the OTA file?

Bueller? This HAS to be out there somewhere for U.S. users for RP1....??

My Camera APP crashes all the time now after the update. What Gives??? Is this purely a 9 thing or did Razer fix the Game Booster, and break the Camera APP???

Turn off do not disturb

Just discovered the TAP to WAKE, and TAP to SLEEP doesn't work either....damn this update is freakin BS

Working fine on mine

Update downloads then almost instantly goes to "Installation Failed". Currently on 8.1 MR2 factory image. Phone is not rooted, firewalled, or anything and there is plenty of space left on the device. Razer support is scratching their heads for the past week.

That worked, thanks!

The update is still very buggy, and lags a bunch of times....so sad, I think I am going back to my RoG Phone now that PIE has been released.

new update with november 2019 security patch.

the factory images for the december update are in the factory images site, but the links are down

Impromptu update?

10.0.0 (QP1A.190711.020.C3, Sep 2019)
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.

General Don't update to the latest November patch!

I got my s22 ultra a couple of weeks ago and I installed one UI 5 using Odin. The battery was really bad it would last me max 3h with a full charge. And after the last update the November patch the device is almost unusable. After updating to the November patch the device heats up really badly before it wouldn't heat up even if I was playing any game and playing music at the same time keep in mind I have the Exynos version. The notifications are bugged when receiving a notification and swiping it to dismiss it while the notification sound is playing it will make your volume really low and you can't turn up the volume it fixes itself only if you receive another notification and let it play the sound fully.
Update: Now when using the camera the phone heats up almost instantly and just lags really really bad
Until now the s22 has been garbage.

All is good for me. Try to reset your phone.

Same here, updated it and have not had any issue...

you say you updated through odin did you update with a different model firmware because most exynos models got the update through the phones software update so nif it was different model firmware that might be the problem.

For me, November patch improved battery life over October one

Snapdragon here; November patch lasts longer than the initial firmware.
I dont notice any changes, but overall the battery life has improved.

Actually, battery life is noticeably better. Kinda reminds me of beta 3

all fine here
only oddity is that my phone is still on July Google Play System - even tho most phones are on Oct or even Nov one
every time i check it says is up to date?!

its better if u debloat it, and try to factory reset ur phone

You should maybe Google about what's exactly contained within the Play System update.
There's no such a thing as cosmetic change and if that's so - Your November patch solves the hardcore part and this just adds the cherry on top now, wouldn't it?

But it doesn't add anything. There's a reason why when you update it usual, system way, the update weighs 20mb or so plus the mandatory reboot

About phone /software information /Google play system update. Tap on it

Must be an issue with the Exynos model. The Snapdragon had poor/inconsistent battery life for a few charging cycles after the October and November Android 13 updates. After 6 days, it has settled down to about where it was on Android 12. The updates reset a lot of the battery optimization software.

More likely, it is because he's rooted and probably has some crapware installed. From what I've read, the official update from Samsung is a big improvement for both Exynos and Snapdragon models.

after update dual sim is not working i try all but stil not working
and i go back to android 12 and now all work
