Android 11 October Update is out - Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Has someone already upgraded and could perhaps share his patched magisk file?
Btw: It seems the random crashes/blackscreen ploblems that plagued alot of people here, including me, were at least to some degree Googles own fault (screenshot).

No fix for face unlock "clean the top of your screen, including the black bar"?

You don't need to upgrade to create a magisk_patched.img
Edit: You can grab it here - https://rb.gy/0wijwp

RMA, only fixable with new device. even downgrading to A10 didn't help, A11 beta seems to f+cked up something, got new device, A11 and face unlock works fine again

My face unlock works fine for the most part but every now and then I get this error. I reboot the phone and all works fine for a couple of days then it pops up again. I bought my phone from Carphone Warehouse so not sure where I stand.

yea this was too annoying for me. either carphone needs to replace it within warranty or google themselves, but I'd rather ask google

Will most likely have more luck with Google. Not sure how well CPW online are for warranty claims, unless they are going to replace for a new unit I won't trust them.
I'm going to see if the new update works out before I speak to either of them. I rebooted yesterday after installing the October update so I will most likely find out tomorrow of it is resolved.

Honor 8 fingerprint scanner

I have honor 8 for 2 weeks already and at the start the scanner was working just fine now it is acting weirdly(I haven't dropped it yet and I'm that water didn't go inside ), sometimes it work sometimes it does not, I tried to delete and add my finger print again and it didnt work anyways now I cannot even add it because it says to put more preasure at the scanner. I'm using eu version of the phone bought it of amazon (cannot link it "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!")
Weird i have no isseus at all i got mine last week too...EU version have you tried to factory reset? If it doesn't work you probably got a defective one and you will need to replace it with a new one
Try to update (if available), and do a factory reset

I know what i will say will not solve your problem but it's better to know. I played a lot with this fingerprint sensor. The sensor itself it's fast, it's the EMUI who make it slow down a lot. If you will try to just touch your fingerprint sensor and take the finger VERY VERY FAST you will see that sometimes the phone will unlock but with a bit of delay. And if you will try to unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor and lock it again for more times and are you doing this fast the phone sometimes will not unlock.
Back up all the data on your device then do a factory reset. That should fix the problem with your fingerprint scanner.

Repeating characters whenn typing

Has anyone else had an issue where characters are repeated when typing (like in the title)? Had the phone for a week now and I'm really impressed but this little issue is ddriving me nuts. I thought it was an issue with SwiftKey but swapping for the built in Gboard hasn't resolved the issue. I'm running the current firmware release C432. Happens with sspacees too...So odd?.

Same problem here.
This happened to me once or twice. I noticed that it happened when I accidentally swiped over the keyboard instead of typed a letter. Maybe the same happened to you.
Thanks for your responses. I've noticed that it got worse the more quickly I typed. I did a power cycle (AKA Magic Reboot) shortly after I made the post and it doesn't seem too bad now (typing this on a laptop). Doesn't look like it is "an issue" as such as its only a couple of people reporting it here. Hard to tell as it has not been available long so the user-base will be fairly small.

There was another thread where a few of us were discussing... The 130 update definitely reduced touch sensitivity so there are missed touch points when typing and also repeating letters when typing fast.. The 100 firmware was fine.. I did send them a message on HiCare and they said they'd pass it over to the dev team.. Hopefully the next update fixes it..

That's interesting... I'll try contacting them using that method. Was it the Live Chat facility? It has been doing it all through this message but I've been spell checking as i go. Only served to remind me how annoying this issue is. Bar that. I love this phone?.

I tried the Live Chat facility and they suggested clearing the Cache Partition. I did that and still get the issue (typing this on laptop). He said that it was the first case he had heard of this happening (funny how they always say that...). I might try the live chat again to see what can be done. I mentioned about the lack of feedback/bug report and he said he would "pass it on" so not much use really.

It seems puzzling that if it were a software issue, then everyone running the 130(C432) release would we mentioning it on this forum. As it seems a little quiet with regards to that, this make me think its a hardware issue affecting a limited number of handsets.
I'm hoping that the next update (overdue for Feb and now due for March update) may fix it. If not, I'll be sending it off for repair with John Lewis in the UK where I bought it from.

Fellas, the bug is also known as "double tapping" and it software related only. Few years ago Huawei P8 Lite had it and after a several updates it was fixed.

I finally did the factory reset as suggested by support a while back and strangely (had no hope that it would fix it), the issue has (so far) not returned .
I'm wondering if the issue occured as a result of the the January 130 update which started to install as soon as I connected the phone to the WiFi when I first set up the handset. Anyone else who are having the issue after the update but have not done a factory reset, I recommend that they try it. If you have done the reset, do you still get the issue?
Hopefully the 140 update (due any day?) will now sort out the dropping bluetooth whilst streaming music.

My factory reset seemed to resolve the issue but it came back shortly afterwards but not as bad as it was previously. That or I've become more accustomed to it. EIther way, it is still here. I take it you are not on the C432 (UK?) variant like mine? No sign of the 140 update for me yet which seems to resolve it for some users suffering the same issue.

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.

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.

Delay when pressing notifications

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.

Wanted to get a Survery: Multitouch on Google Pixel 4A

Alright, so currently im dealing with some Multitouch issues on my Pixel 4a. The repair place i went to UBREAKIFIX said they'll have to do the whole repair they did preciously again and charge me (because of 2 small dents at the side of the screen). Would not recommend. I wanted to get a poll of everyone with this exact issue Here is some steps to test:
1. Enable Developer Options (Go into build number click however many times and get developers options
2. Go to Developer Options in System settings,
3. Scroll down to Input and enable "Show taps" and "Pointer Location.
4. Put two fingers down and see if multiple pointers are shown (If not, Multi-touch does not work)
Also some other Notes:
Downgrading to Android 10, Makes multitouch work for some reason :/
Also would like to know if you've gotten your phone repaired before.
Any help figuring this whole thing out is appreciated
Can I ask what was the repair they did the first time to fix your touch problem?

I honestly cant say if its the hardware or software, maybe it might be a combination of both? I'm not entirely sure, however downgrading to android 10 from googles flash tool does seem to have it work. I had what i would guess is a full screen replacement from UBREAKIFIX, due to shattering the entire screen. Honestly, spending 140 dollars just to see if it might work is not worth it to me, so I'm really not sure what to do.
Even doing it yourself the cheapest I've seen a screen is 110 from AliExpress, which I don't get because I just replaced one on a g7 moto play for 20 bucks off ebay

Is there any reason why this multitouch would work on android 10? I dont see exactly what is happening here

After looking for a while seems the entire drivers are different in the kernel. But that is my brief look at. If anyone who knows kernel drivers would like to take a look at it. Would be helpful
LineageOS 19.1 - multitouch just stopped working today after several weeks without problems. No repairs or damage.
I'm on stock but rooted. I've been slack so still on October patch. Multi touch working fine. Never had a problem with it.
(Finally updated to December patch and it's still working.)

What fixed it for me was downgrading to android 10 then updating all the way up...

Wonder how this actually fixes the issue. Sounds strange.

Multitouch stopped working on my Pixel 4A 5G after updating to android 13.
Maybe a bug caused by an OTA update?

I have LineageOS 19.1 here. So android 12. i'll try that android 10 approach
I can confirm now that downgrading to Official Google Pixel 4a Stock Rom Android 10 fixed the issue. I try to go back to LOS 20 now and see what happens.
PS: Using internal updater to update to Android 13 broke it again. Taking the long route now.
PPS: That chromium based flash tool is really handy. Would be awesome to have something like that for LineageOS.
PPS: As soon as I install anything above Android 10, multitouch stops working. I'll sell this stupid thing as is (will let te buyer know of course). Its a shame.
