AT&T 8.1 Sideload, HDCalling - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey everyone!
I sideloaded the 8.1 update from Google and I don't see HDCalling available for it. I'm a user on AT&T with an unlocked phone. Can anyone help with this? Was I not suppose to sideload it to get the feature?
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply!
AT&T customers have suppose to have access to HDCalling on 8.1.0 update.
Here is where I found the article: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/att-...get-hd-voice-calling-with-android-8-1-update/
Other news sources listed this as well.

I know, Ive been using it since it was released in the beta.
Unfortunately, its just not as simple as getting the update and having it, please read the responses.

Forgot to update on this. I only had to clear cache and restart after the 8.1 update for this to work. However, for those who don't have this option still, this means that AT&T doesn't have your pixel as your main device. Just call and switch it over by giving them you IMEI number, then restart your phone and it will work.
Cheers, and thanks!

Odd things could prevent this from operating. I wasn't getting it but found out it was because I had 'Smart Limits' turned on. They had to remove that, and you also need to make sure you don't have 'basic' voicemail.. Those are 2 things I know for a fact that will keep VoLTE from working. But now that they cleared Smart Limits, I have VoLTE everywhere! Good luck!

No update notification yet? Force Mango on your device!

Check out the manual posted on WPCentral. I did it myself, and can confirm that it works.
Yay for another duplicate thread...
BTW, I did it and my phone has been frozen for almost 30 minutes. Use at you own risk.

Just as always, sure. Worked great for me though.
And duplicate? Sorry, but I checked if there's another thread about this very topic and I didn't see any. My bad I didn't check every single thread about Mango if it contains a post about how to get the update without waiting.
Thanks! finally got my update that way
Come on, gang, you all can't be that impatient
The best thing to do is wait patiently and allow the system to do what it needs to do. If anyone doesn't get the update today or tomorrow, MS has said it can take up to 2 months for everyone to get it.
Be patient and don't screw up your phones.
If tricking zune allows you to update, then statistically there is no reason one person should get the mangos before anyone else. obviously there isn't a server issue if we can download it this way just fine... I'm sorry I've been waiting far too long. I didn't even do it for the post nodo update that 1.3 never got for what ever reason

Because that is mango.
If it is the RTM, forcing may not work to notice that.

It's 7.10, not 7.1, and that is the actual version number. 7.5 is the marketing name for the release.
I've tried over 50 times and all I get is this error : Can't check for updates right now. Please try again later. 80072EFF

Did you install the RTM? if so then you might not have the phone specific optimized or whatever release, but you do indeed have mango.

so anyone that already flashed the touchit mango rom has no need to bother with this official update, correct?
How long are you guys waiting before you pull the plug? When Im doing it, I'm pulling it immediately. If I don't zune tells me my phone is up to date within 3 seconds

I have no idea, but I doubt that. I was referring to the official update, which contains build 7.10.7720.68. If you are using a custom ROM, it may or may not contain all of the final Mango features.

beta program

I don't know if this question has been asked and I've combed the threads. When the Android P beta program starts (hopefully tomorrow) will I need an unlocked bootloader for that? I'm currently on VZW's stupid locked bootloader.
I apologize in advance if this has already been answered. I know how you guys hate repeating yourselves.

And now that I recall, last Google I/O was the release of Oreo DP2 so it's highly likely they'll repeat that.

I did the same exact thing with Oreo. Played around with DP1 but ran DP2 almost constantly until final. I flash different roms constantly, or at least I used to. But anymore vanilla Android is really my cup of tea.
Do not need to unlock

You can flash the OTA firmware in recovery mode. and use adb sideload command to update Android P beta. download OTA firmware in developers.android.com/preview/download-ota.html
BTW, beta is open now
Beta program is open again
Beta is open again but it's still linking to Developer Preview 1 and not the beta. Hopefully they get the new beta links updated today.
I'm using the beta now. Thanks everyone for your responses.
I am downloading the P DP2 now, and it will install. I am stock not rooted or anything.
Is there a way to make this a fresh clean install without having TWRP or root ?
I have a Verizon Pixel 2 XL. Will I be able to go back to Oreo fairly easily if I give the P Beta a try?
Thanks!

when you leave the beta program, you will get ota to roll back to oreo. It will wipe your device.

Nokia 6.1 Device Information Question

Hi All,
I came across a post to do with updates of DDL's here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6-2018/how-to/ota-nokia-6-1-plus-k-nokia-x6-codename-t3839398..... I noticed a USSD code to view system information, which is put into phone dial pad
*#*#227#*#* after doing this i noticed it states ( see attachments )
I am curious why image modification is yes? was this due to upgrading to Android Pie, manually??
Also it says Root Reason: 10 records, when I go into this, it shows Boot Not Match 3, on 10 occasions
I was wondering what this all means, is their anything wrong or is this normal.
Thanks for any advice / assistance in advance.
Same here after manual update, so I'm curious also...
Me to, now im thinking will we still get updates.
Same here after receiving Pie automatically on TA-1068. Never had problems with updates, so I guess the explanation lies elsewhere.

Has Android 10 final OTA landed for the Sprint model?

I saw some mentions of people installed the beta/preview version. I came across this article that states it is the final version:
https://www.mylgphones.com/download-sprint-lg-g8-thinq-android-10-firmware-final-v20a.html
Has anyone tried installing this?
Yea i just flashed it. See screenshot.. I Can confirm thx man. No issues.

Yes but I mean if I do not lose my files when updating, like my photos or applications I hope and you answer me fast because I am about to update
I didn't lose any files.
Heads up that payment apps do not currently work with this update. Android Pay says this is not an official rom, and LG Pay requires and update for android 10 that doesn't exist yet. I suspect because although it might be official firmware, it hasn't officially been released yet.
Hmmm thinking of pulling the trigger on this. Wondering if they made improvements in the camera app? Also wondering if there is a battery drain. A lot of updates from several different phone manufacturer's are reporting battery drain after updating to Android 10.
Yes

I notice the battery exactly the same, the camera improved and added new modes, but mainly the interface and fluidity of the Android 10 device improved much more than with Android 9
I took a gamble and decided to install it. Maaananaannnnn am I love this update. What a refinement! Feels like a new phone so much more polished that 9 was on the g8. Also loving the system wide dark made aka night mode. Everything is so buttery smooth
Meanwhile T-Mobile won't say anything on when they will push the update out for their variant. :crying:
With the security lock screen are the numbers suppose to be so small

Android 11 OTA Link & zip File, .img Files (Unlocked)

Hey friends!
These are only for the unlocked Surface Duo. I am sorry At&t users.
Here is the OTA link for Android 11:

I just rooted the new android 11 update.
The only difference from android 10 is you should now use the newest magisk v23 rather than the older one
I followed this guide exactly except skipped all the magisk workaround stuff and just used the latest version of the magisk app to patch the boot.img

To be honest with you, I don't know if this will work for At&t, it might but I don't have the at&t model so I cannot verify for you. You can try flashing via adb sideload in recovery and see but non of us are responsible if things don't work lol

After a bit of experimentation I managed to get it to work. Although you can't just `add sideload` it since the verification will fail. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and dd some partitions manually. Then once it thinks it's the global variant you can `add sideload`. I made a thread about it https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/turn-at-t-into-a-the-global-variant.4393631/
