Nearby Share - Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

To my surprise Nearby Share has been added and enabled on my Pixel 4 xl. USA, TMobile, Android 10

Another screenshot

Also got it on pixel 4 xl in Portugal

Yeah, I've had it for a couple of weeks now and have even used it a few times, I think it's pretty cool though not as fast as I felt like it was made out to be.

Never had it and checked this morning when I saw the news and still nothing. Just now I was looking for something else and low and behold:

My Pixel 4 XL on T- Mobile still doesn't show it

I don't have nearby share too. I'm from Poland

Weird guys, I still have it and I've had it for weeks now. That's one thing I've always sort of disliked about Google, the way they roll things out is always so spotty and can sometimes take months after the initial rollout to reach all Pixel users.

That rollout is not for all at the same time, they always rollout different things in different times.
You can enable it in the connectivity settings if it's rolled out for you

I got it when it was announced in the blogs

Any pixel owners in France get nearby share?
I didn't get anything yet.

I've had it for a few weeks now. Although I did update my Google Play Services to the latest beta version to get it then.

Nothing here. No point in running the beta since no one else will and therefore no nearby sharing to be done. I'll wait but what's the holdup?

I updated to Android 11 beta 3 last week and nearby Share is nowhere to be found

Nearby is still rolling out to devices at this point I think. That's the "Google way" unfortunately...

Android 7.0 Nougat being pushed to AOSP / Nexus

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2016/08/taking-final-wrapper-off-of-nougat.html
Only a matter of time now!
Yeah, my hope was that since moto was dragging feet on the 6.0.1 and the monthly security updates that we would see Nougat earlier than most, but I then wondered why did they release a May security update at all. So that thought sent my hypothesis that they were working on a Nougat release right out the window.

Well, they can begin working on it now. Needed AOSP source.

They can't with on nougat until Google releases the source code. Motorola/Lenovo has also confirmed security updates will be quarterly vice monthly. They probably have a limited number of software engineers and developers and 6.0.1 honestly didn't really show that it could bring much in additional features to this phone. With nougat, there are reasons to move forward with the release.
Maybe this will fix the audio stutter with LTE calls on T-Mobile.
I know this might seem stupid but cant we port the nexus 5x factory android 7 rom?
I wouldn't bank on getting Nougat. Let's not forget how quickly Lenovorola dropped the 2014 Moto X in terms of Marshmallow. I know the unlocked variants eventually got it, but it took awhile.
I've this bad feeling in my gut our phone's support is going to be cut off. It's just like during the days of waiting for the Atrix to get 4.0 only for it to get canned.
Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Just a fluff piece and purely conjecture... No reference to anything concrete like 95% of all articles out there. Fact is, only 16 handsets are absolutely confirmed to get Nougat, everything else is unofficial. And the only Moto on the list is the Nexus 6.

In the comments section of that article user Tim stated "And your source is…? Also why is the Moto X Pure listed on the bottom of Google’s nougat website. The Moto X style (which is what the pure is called outside the US) is confirmed to have 7.0."

I wouldn't say we have to get it, but not offering major update support for a flagship type device up to 18 months after release would be a bad move by Lenovo. It would definitely push me away. I can deal with fewer less frequent security updates as well as bypassing minor ones (6.0.1), but a major one that this device can easily handle is expected.
Getting flashbacks to the Atrix 4G's journey to 4.0. What a time to be alive.
This being a new Motorola in ideology, so-to-speak, I'm optimistic, but it doesn't bode super well that they've already directed resources away from security updates. But who knows, maybe they did that to work on bringing 7 up.
Too bad they don't just tell us what's happening.

That is something I have always wished for in an OEM. I guess they keep silent not to get hopes up, only to crush them later if something doesn't work out, but some sort of information would be nice. At least tell us it's being worked on, or what is being worked on.

Well considering it's Google's famed staged update process, you will probably have the update by next year.
just updated and It does not work on AT&T.
So I have the Pixel 4XL on Verizon and was able to get RCS working with a buddy who has a Pixel 1 on Google Fi. However I don't seem to have luck with others such as my girlfriend who has an S10 on ATT. Any ideas?
My phone works, but how do I convince others to use it too and make it compatible across network and devices?
Pixel 4 XL and I'm with Google Fi, it's been working
since 2 weeks now with Messages Beta apk!
Anyone get this working using Samsung messages app? I hear it’s suppose to work through there as well but no luck on my end.

It's not currently working on Samsung messages but apparently google is working on it.
"The Google Messages app is also a hard requirement right now (outside some carrier collaborations like Rogers’ and Sprint’s use of Jibe) but it sounds like the company would like to open things up to other apps in the future, stating that "we are working on bringing chat features broadly to more regions, carriers and other messaging apps (e.g. Samsung Messages)."

Late December update?

Good morning!,
December 8th and still no update to our Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL bought from Google and on Google Fi. Seems some on other carriers have had their updates for days now. Anyone on Google Fi get theirs yet?

I got my Pixel 3 (bought from Google) December update on December 2. Be aware it caused a bootloop for a lot of users - I had to wipe my phone to recover. I recommend removing all Magisk modules, if not removing Magisk entirely before updating. You should be able to reroot after the update.

No worries. I do not have Magisk installed. I heard people were having issues if they installed the Pixel 4 launcher and were using gesture navigation. I have neither. Just surprised I have not received the update yet.

Pixel 3 purchased from Google, on Google Fi, and no update yet. Maybe they're delaying it after the initial problems. One previous monthly update took over a week for me as well, but usually I get them within a day or two.
Google purchase, on T-mo. No update yet either. Not just you.

You will notice that comment came from a Galaxy owner. They expect 3 updates over the life of the phone and are running on at best a 6-month old security level at any point. It doesn't matter to everyone.

Depends on what security updates are included. Also, I'm running the Nova launcher and it would be really nice to have gesture navigation support. One reason I got a Pixel is to get to the front of the line after living with other brands of phones that took many months to get updates. So not a huge deal, but Google has spoiled us with updates every month typically within a day or two of the first Monday.
Third Monday, everybody still in update limbo? Perhaps Google just wants to give X-mas gifts this year, but I'd rather they don't hold the update.
No update love for me as of 12/16/2019 4PM EST. I'm tired of waiting and will likely just sideload the update some time this week.
Still waiting. Obviously something is up.

I hope the update for android 11 is a good one because I'm thinking to switch back to a pixel phone.
Let me get this straight? You want to sell your phone because you haven't had an update in the last couple of months ? Clearly you've never been a Samsung user I'm loving the phone, coming from a Samsung galaxy note 9. I now have a Snapdragon , decent base storage , and that dual battery / 30 minute fast charge is perfect for heavy usage, paired with decent battery life, +5 hour SOT over 24 hours consistently with all the bells and whistles switched on.

you guys living in EU should read this to understand :
"As a side note, due to limitations of the GDPR, European users will not have access to the beta version of the software. Even if you have an eligible device, you’ll need to wait until the stable rollout of Color OS 11 before you’ll be able to install it. Users outside of Europe will be able to try the open beta if they wish."

But Oppo swear they will release stable version before end of 2020.

Android 12 Official for Pixel 4 XL Today

Updating now, will report more when it's complete
Any feedback? My camera actually stopped working despite the fact i had auto-update off on the play store.
Sorry, I got away from this but I haven't had time to really dig into things. Other than the UI, I don't see a whole lot different. I had to reboot twice before Google Assistant would stop crashing but that seems fine now. The one real benefit is that reboots are a LOT faster.
My phone does not cycle between 60 and 90 hz anymore, it forces 90hz constantly (yes, checked the developer options force, that one is NOT toggled).
I opened a thread and asked for other peoples experiences:

Well, I also made the switch, pre ordered shortly after launch event, got the 6 pro on the 27.10 - best phone I ever had. Magnificent zoom, better battery life, stellar display, 120hz is a big difference if your eyes are still functioning ( there are people out there claim that 30 vs 60 vs 90 Hertz vs 120 cannot be noticed, of course, these people are just ridiculous) even though I do miss Soli, Faceunlock and active Edge
