Android 10 - Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

So, looks like no more dessert names for Android... I kind of liked it, it made them stand out. Whatever. So, last year Pie was released the same day it was named, sooo, hoping it gets released today! It's definitely imminent either way.

It's not going to be today. It will be this Monday the 26th at the earliest. If not then, it will be sometime after Labor Day. I'm hoping for Monday though.

Android 10 release date confirmed: Here's when Google will release it to Pixel phones

I tried the latest beta earlier and when I was lookong around the Google play services was showing as 1st September. Security was 1st of August.
Being a nosey sod I pressed it for more info and it said there was an update. Downloaded a small update and then was back to 1st of August. Kept saying there was still an update but that failed.
Could be the bods getting ready for the new updates maybe? But never seen the play services with its own entry before.

Meh, I would take this with a grain of salt. Google chat reps seriously don't know what they're talking about most of the time. They don't even have the means to help with much either. Also, the fact that he or she said that it would be Android Q really shoots it down for me. I mean, who knows. I'm betting on this week or next anyway.

Some new information regarding Android 10/Q which would have been Android Queen Cake if Google would have stuck with the dessert names ?.. and also the future of Android with Android lead engineer Dave Burke and another lead developer

December 19

Tomorrow is the 19th.
Should we be expecting the big update...
Any idea's on what it will include in addition to flash ?
I have a feeling it's going to come and go. An their will be no updates.
Most likely they are going to wait a few days and then release a state-
ment that they are working on a major update and as soon as it's done
they will push it out.
I would say, second or third week of Jan. of 2011 for the next patch
from Viewsonic.
Looks like a wait and see ...
Today is the day!

Poor Roebeet. I kinda feel like we should just buy you another tablet just to get these updates. Because running stock just sucks.

This awesome community already did. I just need SEARS to be kind enough to offer up an outlet device that I don't have to fly to, to pick up.
I keep hoping that someone offers a scratched up floor model on eBay, for a deep discount. That would be the perfect dev device for me.

Where in PA are you? I can drive to Freehold and get that one and drive it to you if you are close to me.
I just purchased the one from Novi, MI, purchased one a week ago, and they sent it back, so I couldnt purchase it. So this time I called them right after I ordered it and made sure I get the product, and I'll tell them if its actually broken or not...

There's a Freehold one?? I'm near Trenton. (checks site)
EDIT: Nothing. I've been scanning it on and off all morning. I actually saw a Freehold one about 2 weeks back, but I wasn't looking for an extra one at the time. Too bad, because Freehold is an hour away so definitely do-able.
If there is ANY truth to the Gtablet being pulled by Viewsonic, the CS line will be shut off anytime, within days and they will not bother with the FW release. All of this stuff costs money.

I have never had wireless or FC problems. I guess that is why I was never motivated to install a custom ROM. I just installed all the mods on the original UI.
On a related note. Since this update (supposedly) contains Flash for the g-tablet, should I remove the Flash hack first?

Was wondering if you were considering them in your update.

We already have those files (I did look at it) - I can tell by the HTC stuff and other files in there that it's the same Gapps we've been using for the last month.
Just wondering...what time did it hit? The last time i checked was 8:00 pm last night and was no joy.

This is a great little tablet, Viewsonic has to know they screwed up the software. The hardware doesn't seem to be the problem in my book.

It's ALWAYS been the stock fw that wasn't any good. When I first got mine, I had this crazy idea of staying stock, but the original fw would always Force Close in the news page, and then the update resulted in the weather app Force Closing on me, so I moved onto custom fw and settled on TnT lite.
I might even go back to trying stock fw if TnT ever get their act together...
Now, I understand from the 3316(IIRC) thread that flash is still not included, but their website is still claiming that flash support would be released yesterday. (Odd day, Sunday, to release a fw update...)

Oreo update?

Any word for oreo beta testing? Or when we will get it.. Just received oreo in open beta on my one plus 3
Don't keeps your hope high. Oreo is still months away
Rumours say beta in Nov and Dec

You realize Samsung's Android is completely different from AOSP Android, right? By the time Oreo ships to the S8 there will probably still only be like 10 apps that are officially updated for it (as in, they use features only available in Oreo). You really aren't missing much because Samsung already put much more inside Android. Because, you know, you paid top $$$

Yes sir I definitely know the difference ( NO DISRESPECT) that's why I purchased the s8+ ...I'm just overly anxious for the beta update more than others I guess.

Certainly NOT *****ing!!! I'm still scratching my head wondering WTF ppl are b!+C#!nG about my comments. Anyways I apologize for hijacking your post bro...thanks for the criticism ...
I remember a yr ago while on the s7e i was on this same boat waiting for Nougat. Took til atleast late Jan early feb to get N finally. Not to mention i missed the beta window. Filled up within minutes of release.
To say the least N is excellent and wont be anticipating like a junky waiting on oreo as such. I'll wait for the final release next yr. Love N. Hopefully they don't take NOTHING away from N. Just saying...

Android 8 for Razer

I am tired of waiting for the Android 8 for Razer, what is the deal???!
All other devices already have the updates
Yeah I agree. I really want to see some custom ROMs on the razer phone but untill they release android 8 that's not going to happen. Really surprised that they haven't already released it as it's basically stock android
We where told it would be in the 1Q of this year and we are still in that period. Also other manufacturers don't have a 120Hz screen to think about and test that it works correctly on Oreo so give them time to perfect it and fix the bugs that are currently in N.
As much as I want Oreo it's best to let them work and not rush it out the door.
They'll have the 120Hz screen to work on, the theme engine to work on and the game engine etc.
will say however that if Oreo isn't due soon then they should at least publish an update for this crashing issue on Netflix and Google Play Movies.
Only 5 days left of Q1 now though.
Fully expect a delay of the update now unfortunately. Hope in wrong though.
EDIT: This tweet from Min doesn't add much hope for me ""We'll have an announcement very soon on this"
I just got confirmed it'll be released by April. No need to keep waiting these days for a before-end-of-Q1 release.

CS agents usually don't know much, but they also usually won't give out even approximate dates unless they've been told to. I can live with an April release. It's not much of a delay and I'd rather it be a good update then a rushed POS.

I can't see them being told anything like this tbh in case one of them "slip up" but I agree i'd rather they get it done properly and good for use.
Would however like an update for the hardlocks for netflix and google play movies at least to tide us over but I can't see that happening.
so the oreo update will be released this month or in april?

If the support agent is correct, April which is the first part of Q2.

I think they mean begining of q2 or right before the end of q1. But i hope its no later than april 4th.
Do you guys think that we will be getting an update for the Camera along with Oreo?

From what I know, the weird vibration noise is a hardware issue. You can always turn it off for calls and each individual app. It would be nice though if we had an intensity control, that way we could set it up at the optimal value so it does not sound like broken.

C782 No updates since 9.0

Anyone else on C782 noticed since we got 9.0 (168) we haven't had anymore updates/security patches in a while, anyone know whats up with that? i feel like our phones have just been abandoned this is first and last time i use Huawei, Google Pixel or Samsung next upgrade for me at least they get monthly patches/fixes even my bros S8 is being security/bug patched each month.
I've noticed it too.
Still on .168
Still on .159 with November security
Get yourself on Huawei forums, under software there's a very large post, join the crowd pressuring them to change their process. Mods have put up "false" updates to try quieten the roar and just made it worse. Infuriating that FF can't work once you're already on pie, don't fancy downgrading and full wipe just for my security patch

They said themselves bi monthly updates for all p m and nova handsets, clearly trying not to get banned from anywhere else and bit off more than they can chew. Any time I've spoken to someone, being able to speak to anyone more senior than first point of contact is impossible (which from experience I'm pretty sure goes against certain rules re: complaints) contemplating a ceo office email with links to all these such posts and their own promises.
Not that it'll make a difference. Just need to vent haha

Still on .168 for me as well, showing 1st December security patch.
Last time I buy Huawei as well, I don't mind not getting full updates but not even getting security updates is ridiculous.

Bi-monthly would do me fine. In a dream world I'd like 9.1 and camera processing parameters from the P30 Pro (I've read it's a little less heavy on the processing) but I doubt we'll ever see that!
Still 1st Dec 18 security for me, unlocked phone from o2 with Voda sim.
Pathetic, it's almost 5 months out of date.

Android 10?

Who wants to guess when official Android 10 will drop? I'm going to say it will be sometime early next week!
you mean Android Q
I don't care, I will not change the naming scheme even if it's official.
I can't believe they stopped the dessert naming scheme
Absolutely disappointed
I'm going to say first week of Oct
Whenever the 7T is released
7T will be shipped with Android 10. For OP7 pro, who knows. I'd expect fast update.

That's not that far from beta4 to stable. I'm pretty sure Oneplus is working on stable 10 now.

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-10-release-date-confirmed-official-Pixel_id118451
I'm guessing Open Beta will be around the end of this week.
OP will preserve the update for the new flagship (T) I guess. Normaly within a view days after release they stable updates will be availeble for the previous devices from the same release year.
This could be soon after 27 sept (presentation OP7T and OP7T Pro en OP TV.)
For now latest Developer Preview is out DP4. From this version on you can update via OTA to bèta builds. So you can try it but dont expext everything is working fine. Its still a preview. If you only want stable builds I presume you need to wait to the beginning of october.

He "doesn't like the new naming scheme". Let him stay in his bubble, it's fine. When the time comes and we're all referring to new builds by numbers (as Google is intending), he'll be stuck on letters still and we'll just sit back with our popcorn and laugh. I completely understand Google's reasoning behind it and even after being disappointed at first, the change makes sense. They said that not all desserts were recognized globally and not all regions have certain letters or know what order they come in. I just read an article the day that I found out about the news, if I can find it, I'll link it.

I really do not care what they call it.
I do know last year One Plus release Android "9" really fast.
We had it long before the Samsung losers.

It is rumoured that Oneplus is going to release Android 10 for OP7 Pro in October or November 2019. I think that's possible. We can be sure one thing - that will be faster than Lineage.
