I don't know , I just got the phone and noticed that the fast charging is not consistent at all.
After digging around in XDA and Reddit I found out that the October OTA messed it up..
That's why I'm asking.

It's fairly consistent for me though not really fast. I'm using the original charger and the speed varies depending on the percentage. Take a good amount of time to charge up fully. Although with my usage i get a full day and i put it up on charge at night so issues for me.

That's correct but 3 years from release is nothing new. It's always been that.

Yeah, I thought the OP was saying that the Pixel 2, 2 XL wasn't getting any more updates, as in OS updates.

No the OP meant that there was no update (fixes the 3 and 3 XL got like camera launching) for the Pixel 2 and 2 XL for March. It's just a security update.

Inconsistent how for you? It's always a 70-75% increase in 60 minutes when starting at 5-10%.

Not trying to be difficult here, but where did you find that it is JUST security updates?
Asking because.

Now maybe that refers only to the OG Pixel, in that case where are the ones for the P2 / XL and P3 / XL?
Below is a screen grab.

I actually didn't catch that. I went by the system up to date saying "security patch level: March 5, 2019".
Me saying it's "just a security patch" was just saying that's there's no functional changes like the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.

Yes, but no. I'm not sure but:
Security patch levels of 2019-03-05 or later address all issues associated with the 2019-03-05 security patch level and all previous patch levels.

Example:
CVE-2019-1986, affecting Android 9; CVE-2019-1987 affecting version 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, 8.1, and 9; and CVE-2019-1988 affecting version 8.0, 8.1, 9.
Was patched in the last updates.
So I assume We got the https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2019-03-01#2019-03-05-details patches but no Pixel specific security update was added.

That page was updated today. What I posted yesterday was very incomplete, to say the least.

Charging speed varies with the percentage of battery when you plug it in, faster charging initially and then it slows down towards the end.
Charging speed also depends on the phone temperature, if the phone is cold (less than 18 or 20 Celsius i think?) it charges quite slowly, above 22-23 Celsius (the phone that is) it charges fast.

Updates are guaranteed for 2 years since original release I believe. So yes, 2017 for major ones at least.

That's because the Honor 8X has quarterly updates and not monthly.

They could include security patch for september in this update.

i got that too i notice the in-call sound is better , louder and crisper
other than that all same to me
Like i said before very strange, that there are no new security patches in this update. Maybe because we also get EMUI 10 beta soon with new security patches?
https://piunikaweb.com/2019/10/14/h...rope-mate-20-x-update-improves-sound-effects/
Also receiving a new software update is the Mate 20 X, but unlike the Mate 20 Pro, the former’s is a stable update based on EMUI 9.1.0. Yeah, the base software is still Android 9 Pie, but the European (global) EMUI 10 beta update shouldn’t be too far away.
As part of the small update that weighs in at a mere 2.77MB, the Mate 20 X is receiving improvements to sound effects in certain scenarios. Interestingly, the Mate 20 X update is still bundled with August security patches, which is strange arriving in mid-October. is still bundled with August security patches, which is strange arriving in mid-October.
