Just flashed Beta3 this morning which of course wipes system. Went smooth per instructions provided on Essential Developer page. I restored all apps and data from my LG V35 via phone to phone restore no problem. I've had no problems with connecting to Google Fi so far but it's only been a short time. Data seems to be fine and the phone is very smooth.
Also was able to logon to both my BOA and Chase accounts using their respective apps. Just turn on dark mode minutes ago so don't know how that will go.
have u had a chance to test the cam?
Can u check if voLTE is working ??

I don't have an SIP account and that seems to be the only option under the app Phone>three dots>settings>calls
The answer seems to be "not in beta 3".
BTW, I'm using it as a daily driver and I'm very pleased for a Beta. Again, so far!
I use Dark mode on all my computer/browsers and now with Dark mode in Android Q, this is awesome. I can't help but believe it should really help battery life. Bluetooth is working fine with all my devices..... AVR, auto and headsets. connecting in Aptx. I'm a big audio fan.
It's just amazing that this two year old phone is being brought back to life with Q!

I just joined Google Fi with my ph-1 knowing that it would not automatically switch from T-Mobile to sprint but I thought I could force it to switch with dialer codes or signal spy. After trying it and it failed to switch and doing some searching it seems like I’m just stuck with it on T-Mobile. Is this the case for you?

I've actually had similar issues with the numerous Skype APKs floating around out there. For some reason, it only works on some connections and I can't confidently say that there's a clear pattern.
When I try to establish a videocall to my girlfriend's iPhone, it works just fine on WiFi or 4G. However, it gives the same error that you describe when I try to call from my phone to her MacBook.
Oddly enough, when I tested out a videocall between my account and a dummy account on any of my computers, it works just fine on WiFi or 4G.
It's pretty strange.
For those in this thread who have no problems videocalling, would you mind sharing what sorts of use cases have worked for you (i.e. Phone to phone on WiFi, on 4G, phone to computer on WiFi, on 4G)?

Is there anyone that is on EE with the S6 and uses WiFi calling?
I've been using it for almost a week now and I'm finding it hit and miss, the symbol comes and goes and some texts don't send even though I'm apparently connected via WiFi calling....my broadband is stable so I know that's not the cause.
Thanks
There's issues on the 5.0.2 firmware with it, they've apparently released 5.1.1 which fixes this, but no one seems to be able to download it...

Well I've been waiting long enough so a few more days will not make much difference.
Spoke to someone today who said they were doing 10k IMEIs per day, which works out at just over 7 days for the amount of branded EE S6/Edges they have. But again, EE are pretty crap at communication / rolling things out so don't hold me to it.

You can update via SS? I thought it did a wipe.
Nope when you first connect it up it'll tell you if there's an update
Hooray! ?
@invisiblek - as you are currently the only developer out there
Factory images:
https://essential-live.herokuapp.com/developer/current-builds
Oreo beta:
https://essential-live.herokuapp.com/developer/beta-builds
Just wanted to add that in order to completely flash the factory image you will need to unlock the critical partition in fastboot before flashing:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
wow, very cool, will give the oreo a try.

Can I flash NMJ32F on the Sprint version?
unfortunately, the stutter has not improved on Oreo. In fact, it feels worse.
Oreo is working fine for me this whole 25 minutes. I haven't tested Bluetooth yet though

Has the camera app improved in Oreo?
Has anyone successfully tried flashing NMI81C to an unlocked device? I can't imagine there'd be a problem, but if no one has done it or seen any problems with it then I know what I'm doing when I get home tomorrow. That was the last build my bluetooth music controls worked with, so I'm pretty excited to be able to flash back to it.

I do not think any app was updated. Unless there is some API in Oreo that would inherently improve the cam.

Oreo running great...only found one bug dealing with wifi hotspot and not being able to select 5ghz as the band to use.
Since flashing Oreo last night I am getting excellent battery life and it appears that I may do better than I was on Android nougat. Personally I really like this phone and no the camera is not the best but for $450 this is probably the nicest phone anyone can hold in their hand at any price point. Once the dads get interested because of price and we can get a port for the Huawei camera I'm sure this camera would do very well

Nice, I will try to flash the Oreo beta of the Unlocked version to my Sprint variants. BTW, do you happen to know how to trigger the UICC unlock menu without having to have the Sprint sim in there and activate the phone? Sprint reps told me the phone is unlocked on their end, but my phone still say invalid sim because the UICC unlock menu has not been activated on the phone itself. Would flashing the unlocked firmware solves this?
Only downside for me so far on the beta is battery life.
On nougat I would go to bed with 100% battery and wake up with 100%.
On Oreo I woke up with like 97%. Keeps dying quicker during the day as well, but this is expected as they mentioned the Oreo framework wasn't optimized for battery life yet.

Not only does it work but definitely recommended as you will get the latest fingerprint sensor fix as well as better screen touches.
I am coming up on 24 hours into this Oreo beta, and it's my daily driver. So far, so good. Battery life seems a bit better for me, although it was great before - hard to do an apples to apples comparison though. No bluetooth issues, in fact, this seems a bit better with Plantronics Voyager/Legend than before - haven't tried in the car yet. I had one spontaneous reboot (I wasn't using it, just sitting on the desk and I noticed it rebooting) but so far, I can't see any reason not to charge ahead. The install did turn off wifi calling, I had to re-enable that. No service/signal issues (on T-Mobile in central Texas).
It's that time again. Please share bugs and anything new
Apparently if you update to beta 3 it wipes your phone but not sure if that is from ota or from factory image installation
Ok so ota doesn't wipe data
Always on display still turns off after about 10 seconds or so.. Really Google? You got everyone used to this, now it's broken since Beta 2??

I can confirm mine works fine no issues. I didn't have mine turned on before I updated. If you did you might have to factory reset
For me, I can't re-enable dual sim
Damn! Google home doesn't work. Going to try and factory reset but that's a shame because so far this beta is amazing but that's a deal breaker for me
This is F'n Amazing!!!! Great job Google !!! lol

I've installed it , it doesn't wipe anything. All I can say, is this a copy paste from iOS when it comes gestures but much less polished. Dark UI toggle is finally here. Performance seems better than DP2. Moving from app to app using gestures is not super smooth cuz some apps keep refreshing.

I just installed the official EU release. Everything seems to work OK, but still no voice over wifi (I didn't have on Android 12 - I did have it on 11).
This is on a standard OP8 - no mods.

It worked OK on Android 11 when I applied the fix here. So, the carrier is OK with it. It broke on Android 12 and hasn't been fixed on 13.

There's no native call record, always get bold characters, at wifi connection i get first a skinned surface, under that i get old surface, so finally i went back to 12, with fresh apps, settings i think, i get a brand new phone, all ok.
hows the battery life doing? i have my update wait for a while since i 've read some bad comments on the battery life. the OS itself looks like the colorOS.
Battery life is fine. Much the same as Android 12.
