Januari 2020 security update - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

After yesterdays security update my pixel 3 is now at patch level januari 1. But as usual the security bulletin lists a januari 5 level, has the 5 level not been released or is the problem with my phone?

You have the latest version, it's just how they name the updates. If you look at the previous updates they are all listed as yyyy-mm-05, but the date shown on your phone will usually be a few days before that.

I believe the 5th is the release date while the 1st is the actual creation date.

I'm I the only one having trouble with the auto screen brightness since January update?

Works for me. Seems a little slow to adjust, but that might be because I never really looked that closely at it before.

It is weird, considering that 1) the device was announced in Jan and released in March, that would have given them at least some time to update the security patches, and 2) The new update that was just released in March is still on Jan's security update base
Anyone else has anything different on their device from Europe for example?
No. Here in France, the patch is from January. But haven't received yet the last update like OP.

Still no update anywhere outside Taiwan?
Nothing in France. I'm disappointed...

Same here, US Version. Why the delay? They need the support to appear strong in front of the LG6 and the upcoming Galaxy S8

I totally agree with you, no update in the UK either
Has anyone experienced call issues on the updated firmware? I've had a couple of occasions where calls will drop out mid call, and then the phone app seems to be confused and then im unable to dial out immediately.
Not sure if network related or phone.
I agree, my US variant is showing Jan 1st 2017 for Android security patch level. And of course my company is restricting any email access to android devices using anything older than Jan 5th security patch level. So my new phone is now useless for work. I should have bought a Pixel XL.

You may not notice any fancy new features when you install an Android Security Update, but they're very important nonetheless. Software is rarely ever “done.” It constantly needs maintenance and fixes to keep it safe and secure. These smaller updates are important, as they cumulatively fix bugs and patch holes.

updates are important, as they cumulatively fix "old security" bugs and patch "missed security" holes. There is nothing about performance and kernel, project AndroidONE is dead instead of community.
How come I didn't get the June update yet? Also I didn't get May update and had to download it manually. Makes me feel that I shouldn't get Xiaomi phone in future

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

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
