I've noticed there's an obtober android security updates but my pixel has September and no update available.
Thanks,
Mick

My wife's OG Pixel (sailfish), also a Verizon model, usually updates about the middle of the month, give or take...

The factory images (security updates) are available the first Monday of every month. OTA updates are usually sometime soon after.

Curious why the October update hasn't arrived as it's almost November? Is it cause the phone just launched?

That would be my guess. It should arrive sometime Monday of course, along with plenty of bug fixes. I think it happened last year with the Pixel 2 as well.

Mostly due to the 3's running a different version of Pie than the rest.

Google skipped the first month after release on all their phones so far. The first update has generally included both the security updates and bug fixes.

November Security Patch

Has anyone gotten this yet? I see that a couple of Samsung phones from T-Mobile have updated. I thought the Google phones would be the first ones to get these.
Also curious because I heard the back and forth about who was handling updates (Verizon for my VZW model, or straight from Google). So, I was curious if you guys with Google store models have seen this update yet?

November security updates haven't been posted on the Google Dev site yet (https://developers.google.com/android/ota). They'll be there before they start pushing via OTA.
Regarding Samsung, I think that their "November" security update contains the bug fixes that Google pushed to Nexus/Pixel in October.
Arriving today according to Verizon.

Security patches by Google are always released on the first Monday of the month. For November, the first Monday is today and as you can see on developers.google.com/android/images, the images are now available.

Answered in another thread but, it looks like they're different security patch levels.
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/index.html
11/1, 11/5, and 11/6. Although after I flashed build X, it shows 11/5 security level so I'm not entirely sure what's up with that.
No OTA yet for my Verizon XL 128gb.
Got tired of waiting, side loaded NDE63X no issues

Yeah I used the google flash-all method which wipes userdata but whatever I don't care about that and I'm still unlocked.
Updated via adb sideload from P ---> X.
Unlocked on Verizon went smooth without a hitch. Just to confirm also.

OTA
Fyi, I got the 'X' update OTA in my Verizon model today. I don't care about bootloader unlock, so I took it.

I don't care about unlock either, and I still haven't gotten the OTA. The other two ppl I know with Verizon models got the update today as well.

If you update your Google Play services to version 10.0.84 (440) and use the update menu in the settings the OTA will appear. :highfive:

This worked. Thanks! Why is step 2 of 2 taking an hour? Says installing update but my phone is booted. I've never seen this. Especially with such a small update.
When I look at Google play services to update it, both the disable button and force stop are greyed. I see no way to update the app. Any suggestions?

Pixel 2 October Security Update

My Pixel 2 XL shipped with September security update...has anyone received October's?

I don't have it either, and it won't play music in the car. It connects and phone calls seem to work (I just dialed a number and hung up, not sure how call quality would be), but the car doesn't find a compatible media device. I read the security update might fix it??

8.1 DP will get you October patch. Sacrifice stability for security if you want. Kidding a little, I was wondering where the heck the security update was before I went to the 8.1. Possibly they're waiting to package all the software improvements together and since people keep complaining about more things, they keep adding more things.
Not here!
It's only been released with 8.1 beta
My first Pixel/Nexus back since I had the Galaxy Nexus, and one of the main decision points was rapid updates, including security ones. Here it is, Nov 3, and still on September. I could swear Google was on a regular monthly cadence of security updates for the Pixel 1 and Nexuses (Nexi?)
lets hope for nov 6 patch.. hopefully addressing most concerns
Nov 7 and I'm still only on September patch.

It takes time for the otas to roll out. You can't expect thousands of people in all areas of the world on different carriers, to receive the patch at the exact same second.
Hoping these come soon. Don't like being out of date by so far at this point. Not sure why I still am only on September.

This would be a good excuse but as of a couple months ago supposedly the update button was supposed to actually work. I know I hit the stupid thing 20 or 30 times since seeing the update dropped and still haven't gotten the update.
Really. Google Play Store can update an app all across the world in a few hours? OTAs don't happen since carriers control updates. This should not be. Google needs to reclaim their power before Android goes to the dark side of fragmentation. I have a bad feeling about this.
There are many reports about the display changes for the Pixel 2 XL in the released November security update, but neither the OTA or images are posted on Google's site yet.
Tortoise updates by Google...
Updates are live on Google site

Nope
AFAIK it's not even available: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/
I just see the October update and earlier
Relax
August Update came on 6th August,
May Update came on the 7th May..
Give it a bit time. Hopefully this one packs a bomb of Pixel 3 Stuff.

I don't think Google are that fussed about Follow-the-Sun. As it's previously been mentioned it's normally 11am - 2pm PT so quite late tonight in Europe.
The images are out now
The bulletin mentions only one functional improvement that too for pixel 3 family. This means that nothing exciting for pixel 2??
I'm getting it ota now on my pixel 2xl

I don't think google intends to add support for Vodafone VoLTE now. Its been 3 months since it was marked as resolved on the issue tracker.

Lazy Google....As much I like Pixel line, but this is too much. What they are thinking? That Pixel line is for geeks which they forgive them every stupidity and lack of support?
It looks that they don't care for their customers much...
Maybe in UK, Germany and Italy around here...just need the call from their support like:
"Why did you bought it in the first place?"

Question Update timescale

I'm in the UK and have checked for updates but it says there is no update is there a rough idea as to the time the update happens

Google pushes updates out in waves. It is possible that you have to wait for days, or even weeks to get an update prompt, even when manually clicking the button.
It's Tuesday night 6/7 at 10:45PM EST, and no June OTA update yet for me, either.
