Currently downloading a system update. It's 214MB, so more than a security patch. Android 11 maybe? I'll post again when it's complete.
UNfortunately just a big security patch, now on Nov. 1 G900TM12g
Maybe update the the modem for SA 5G. Now pulling a 5G signal inside my house, which it didn't do before. Not that that is an improvement really. 5G here is still slower than LTE but it's a step in the right direction.
It did have security patch but also enabled SA 5G, throughput and coverage enhancement.
A two month old update arrives every two months. That's the LG update cycle. The Mark III Xperia series sure is looking nice.

Don't do it if you use a microSd card!
Google is hell-bent on destroying all offline apps and storage. As of this month, most new versions of Android 11 apps on Play Store are effectively unable to use microSd storage. Performance is 5x to 1000x slower and general access is broken. You have to switch to using F-Droid or another app store. Any purchased apps needing microSd access can never again be updated.
I've been using an Xperia 1 III and Android 11 is a dumpster fire. I keep my Velvet 5G as a backup phone, and I do need it!

I have a GS8+ from AT&T, and I am running the official operating system with all updates including December security patch. I am wanting to load the official oreo beta 2 software that I found on the internet, and I want to know a few things beforehand. I am a previous iphone user, and I'm new to the android modification area. I seen that the Sprint and Verizon GS8+ have beta 3, Is the beta 3 software for AT&T available on the internet anywhere? What is the process for going back to official software? Can I download the official rom from somewhere? If not is there a way to extract the official rom from the phone beforehand? I am wanting to do this because this phone runs terrible for a brand new phone, lock screen hangups, stock apps crashing constantly, and in my opinion my 3 year old iphone 6+ was more stable than this phone in every way but the battery. I want to stick with official software because I live in a bad service area for AT&T and I rely on VOLTE where available, and wifi calling where I don't have VOLTE. Any help is appreciated. If i violated any rules please let me know, I am new here.
Thank you
Wipe your phone and start over, you shouldn't be having those issues with your phone unless you installed some app that is causing them.
I have always been interested in Android One and recently picked up a Sharp S1 (https://www.ymobile.jp/lineup/androidone-s1) from Japan on ebay. Pretty nice phone for $20, of course it will probably never connect to a cellular network...
What I ran into was the fact that it would not see that additional updates were available. I could tell from the site above that they had issued updates every month and it should have many waiting to bring it up to November 2018.
My solution, which is the point of this in case other experience the same, was to install TunnelBear on the phone, tunnel to Japan, and then run the check for updates. Once an update was found and started, I could pause the update, disconnect TunnelBear (the free version only gives you 500MB per month and the first update was 800MB), unpause and it would continue the update over wifi from my home in the US.
BTW - I had changed my TimeZone to Tokyo and failed to change it back, so I don't know if that is required in addition to the VPN
After running through this cycle several times, I now have a $20 Android Phone with decent specs fully updated to 8.1 Nov18 Security Update! I just thought I would share in case others experienced the same. I don't know if this is the result of the mobile operator blocking the updates or something Google may do.
I went into this knowing its limitations (Currently) while there is no global firmware and that there is no guarantee of there being one in the future. However I thought it would be fine and I could drag and drop media locally to the tablet to watch.. errr nope
Can not put anything bigger than 4GB on the local or SD storage..
Ok i'll do it all over the network.. nope Tablet will not connect to the 5ghz wifi on my WIFI6 mesh hope network. I'm only getting 2.4Ghz band which gives me a whopping 4Mbps out of the 220meg I can get on my OnePlus 7Pro (which incidentally has no issue with me dragging large files to it).
So literally everything i've bought it for is useless without me spending considerable time to research.
To top it off I have an OTA update waiting for me which reports say will downgrade me to widevine level 3.
UPDATE: Got the 5g working. Had to change the 5ghz Wifi to hong kong region.
Now to investigate the 4GB limit. Odd as its android 11.
i feel the same...
what is the downgrade to widevine level 3? how does that affect us?
Here because I just got this as well.
The 4gb sounds like a Fat32 limitation... I think exFat bypassed this? Not the tablets fault .
Also, I have widevine l1 out of the box.
This thing crushes games and doesn't even throttle.
Instead I'm disappointed with how overwhelming 11.5" compared to my poco f2 pro.
By the way... The 5ghz WiFi works out of box (Australia) tried to find a WiFi localization option but failed...
By the way mine comes bootloader unlocked by default
!!! And gives a warning about that in bootup...
I just want a root solution, and I'm happy with current ROM...

Are you definitely sure that your device got bootloader unlocked and widevine L1 out of the box? Is it global rom?
Hi everyone!
Two days ago I upgraded my OP 7 Pro to Android 12 (GM1913_11_H.30) but I noticed a weaker coverage of my mobile network data and, the worst thing, when I make a call the mobile data has always deactivated.
Before the upgrade it happened only often but now I always have mobile data disconnected.
However, I don't remember such weak coverage before the upgrade and the phone is in Edge mode most of the time..
Do you have the same issues?
Do you know how we can fix them?
Hello !
I got the same issue..
Version : OxygenOS 12.1|Android12|GM1913_11_H.30
since I updated my 7 pro , I m losing my network coverage too often..
With android 11 I had any issue about network but since I updated to android 12 my network going away. I use everyday hotspot mode to share network with my computer for work and I get constantly disconnected.
I saw few post complaining about it but any informations came from OnePlus , sadly
I found a way to get back my network without rebooting my device or waiting 10 mins.
I disable my Sim card then I enable it..
now I m looking a way to roll back to android 11 or if isn't possible, I m thinking deeply about a factory reset.
OnePlus 7 pro Europe
French operator : Sosh (orange)
I already reset my wifi settings but nothing changed
If anyone got information about it, I m all ears !
Cheers!

I don't think you'll fix your issue through a factory reset, because it seems to be a well known issue in Android 12 with this phone.
Android 11 has as drawback the battery draining, in fact, I was pondering to roll back to Android 10 (10.0.1) bit, however, I discovered that my carrier doesn't support the VoLTE feature on this phone. Thus, I decided to migrate to a new phone...
Greetings.
Jist bought a phone a few days before.
Noticed that 8/10 incoming calls failed, it looks like I'm out of range.
But I'm not!
I faced this on Jan update.
I've been trying all firmwares from google site and recognizes that my network works well on the first November firmware and the latest Beta 3 so I stay on Beta 3.
I realized that modem with version g5300g-220923-221028-B-9229469,g5300g-220923-221028-B-9229469 is quite bad.
But Beta 3 contains newer version g5300g-221229-230118-B-9499472,g5300g-221229-230118-B-9499472. Now my network is good, I can call, everyone can call to me.
However, a new Feb update doesn't contain new modem version, so staying on Beta 3...
Does someone experiencing similar issue?
You don't mention what carrier. Looks like with February they have a separate system image just for T-Mobile.
No carrier, I have a neverlock version.
Have this issue with Kyivstar operator (Ukraine).
Only on Pixel have such issue.
My other phones when I replace sim to them (OnePlus 7 Pro, Galaxy S22 Ultra) operating quite well.
