How long after you register for the beta program are you supposed to receive the beta update?

On mine, it kicked in within 5 minutes.

I enrolled for the beta 2 days ago and still no beta OTA anything I can do to push this?

From what I understand there is no upgrade path to DP1 from the Nov security update, since DP2 is coming out "soon" Google will just wait rather than re-build dp1 to update from the nov patch. So as soon as DP2 is released, you should be prompted to update to 8.1 beta.

awesome, thanks!

It is normally around a 6 week cycle...
So, with that in mind I would expect it to release around the 2nd week of Dec.
I won't expect the Dec security patch to be included though.
That was my experience on the 7 beta.

Based on the Program Overview page, the second preview should be released in November: https://developer.android.com/preview/overview.html

This is why I asked the question. I hadn't any new info and was wondering if anyone else had.

I haven't received the 8.1 yet

I don't understand. I downloaded and adb sideloaded the October OTA minutes after it posted. I had no problem whatsoever.
My comment was about the "security update" having no security updates / patches.
Still September Patch Level?

After upgrading to the October image, does you system show though that the system security patch level is still September, 2018?

No, shows October 5 2018 which is crazy, because I got the update on October 1, and did not know the P2XL was a time machine to take me into the future! :cyclops:

Update took ages for me. The download and the install was sooooo slow... . After the update (one full day) I have about 25-30% less battery with the same usage.
(This is not a real measure, just a feeling)
Charged faster over 90% (sometimes it says @95% : 18 mint to max. Now It was faster.
It was not on the change log list but I have less display flickering during the environmental light changes...
And Now the notification led alerts are sometimes not working with some apps. (example Gmail.)
Maybe I'm going to reset my phone.
And yes I'm on Oct 5. security update
still no update for me. Shouldnt we all have access to the update ?

I asked about pushed OTA, you replied about XDA and sideloading. Do you understand what you did ? Probably not. I blame your parents (and Trump).

@Pkt_Lnt fully understands what he did, but you apparently missed his point. Then again, you claim to know more than he does. And yet you still have so much to learn.

reporting back: finally got the OTA, I guess I should have remembered its always around the 5th of the month.

Are you enrolled in the Android Beta Program? Try un-enrolling. Then, check for updates again. The OTA should be pulled to your device this time round.

Have we reached end of "Android Version" updates?

As of this posting on 11/19 there has been no November update sent to the first gen Pixels Android Developers Image Page.
I know we are guaranteed security updates for the next 11 months, but I feel this is the beginning of the end. Does anyone have any experience with when the sun started to set on previous nexus devices?
Updates usually ends then announced date is reached. Zero Android updates after it. Not sure how huge and critical flaw must be to get an update after that.
They are working on it but there must be a bug they are trying to overcome.

SM-G975U1 April SD3 Update finally available

I just got the prompt that the April SD3 update is available to download for US Snapdragon unlocked phones. Kinda sad it's now April 11th here, and the March security update was just released. Coming from a Nexus 6P, it seems like a really long time to me.

Android 10 Release

Hi all.
Yesterday, I've got Android 10 on my Moto One Vision (Brazil Variant). But my wife and friends with he same device did not get it yet.
I"m wondering if the release is already official, or only for MFN members? I did register there, but did not receive any survey or anything like that yet (Like it happened with my old Moto G5 Plus).
Did anyone else got the update? If yes, how's your experience with it?
Can you post some screenshots of the version number etc?
I can't upload a screenshot right now, since i'm at work, and uploads are not allowed in the internal network (Sry). But below is the info on the About screen:
Android Version: 10
Android Security Patch Level: November 1, 2019
Google Play System Update: 2019-11-01
BaseBand Version: S337AP_KANE_SGCS_QB2594168
Kernel Version: 4.14.113-g0d0c343-dirty #1 Mon Nov 11
Build Number: QSA30.62
So far, it's been a good update.
Dark theme is great, also, the notifications are a lot better on this one (Divisions between Active and Silent Notifications, as well as the ability to "Seek" the music playing in Spotify via the notification itself).
Gestures navigation were weird in the first hour using them, but now, they make a lot of sense, and "feels natural" somehow.

What software channel are you using? Also available in About Info and it's very important
I think Android 10 closed beta testing has started by 26/11 for Brazil and India. At least that's what I've seen in tg group.
Yeah, confirmed on Lenovo Forums. Seems like the update is live for the ones that are on MFN only. I forgot i was registered (And did not get any email).
My software channel is: retbr

I hope and expect the final release to come in mid/late December. Would be a nice X-Mas gift
I'm from Brazil and I was not subscribed to mfn, I received the update yesterday, it's very good, very fast screen transition, but the app openings are a little slower, but I only have compliments so far, I'm finding it very good
Maintenance Release Notes for December says nothing about Android 10 but I guess we have to wait to be sure. Maybe they update pie first, then Android 10 at the end of the month.
Would be nice if it's stable enough to be released before the end of the year

hey man... i thought the phone may not see the update since motorola didn't even announce the timeline on their blog like they usually do, but are there any new additions to the moto app? like swipe to shrink screen, screenshot editor or the features seen in older non-Android One motorola devices?

The patches has so far rolled out during the same month, so why do you believe that the pie December patch won't be available untill mid January? Second half of December sounds more right.

Hey man, i'm sorry, but i don't think i'll be able to.
As per the requirements for the testing, we should not be talking about the tests on anywhere else except the private MFN forums, let alone help download the update...
I own the third Moto phone. In the base of my previous experiences I guess the stable 10 will not come before the end. I guess any January/February. I would like to be wrong in this case
Received a 94 MB update number PSA29.160-55-7 just now, still has the november patch but i guess its the preliminary update to Android 10 which i expect this month. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

Ha ha. Yeah, this is just the beta rollout. The official release for the L29 is most likely far, far away, if we even get it. I doubt we'll see it at all though.
yes beta for china devices are starting soon. if you have chinese devices and can manage chinese huawei account. you can get beta.
For others it may take 2-3 more months

"I doubt we'll see it at all though"...agree with that..i have the chinese ver with a china account and still on 10.1.0 .165 with August security update... its November and they don't just give us a security update not a full android ver.
Yes chinese version will get earlier. AL00
I Have already signed up for beta. Like for Emui 10.1 too i did signed up before public release.
Most everyone here is still on 10.1 with fewer complaints than previous versions. Android 11 is nice to have but its not needed..10.1 runs perfectly.
Wondering if EMUI 11 will wipe out Google on out Mate 20x? Sure hope there a big warning before taking the update. Hope to hear from beta testers.

I participated the beta internal test but didn't qualify. But I can update it now from setting since they said even if you fail to qualify, will still send out Ota update later.
It's pretty cool with some new aod clock styles and multitasking floating window function.
