General New Play System Update - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Just had a new Play System Update 55mb. I'm now on Nov 1 instead of the August 1 after the last update.

Same here.

Still on September. Won't find any update.
There is no way to force/sideload this, right?

@m1ckbr1t
Thanks for the heads up.
I have been checking a couple of times per week to update to the November patch, but I hadn't checked since Wednesday last week; I didn't realize the update was there until I saw your post

I went from Nov. 5 to Nov. 1

I got that update yesterday. My phone rebooted after it downloaded. Did the reboot happen to anyone else.

I thought the phone had rebooted yesterday but wasn't sure. This explains it.
I am on Nov 5.
But Google needs to fix bugs, not just security updates. Like the camera overprocessing, the screwy 4x zoom which is not used at times when chosen by the user, the sub-optimum battery, and the constant requests for PIN instead of FPS, or unlocking with a trusted device.

have you guys seen this page. I dunno what to think anymore. the hype around Pixels is such a weird thing. I get that there are bugs (and I've had a few glitches) but none of the bugs I've had are even listed here:

When the phone fails to read your Fingerprint (something along the lines of three or four times in a row), it automatically blocks/deactivates the FPS, until you unlock it with your TO KNOW security measure (in your case PIN).
I had it happen to me a couple of times over the course of this month, and it was a tad too annoying to shrug off. I definitely miss my old P4 Faceunlock, never bothered me (except when I wore masks, lel).

I had it as well ... was on Nov 1, update, reboot and still on Nov 1 ...
Note there are two things: (a) security update (Nov 5 in my case) and (b) Play-systemupdate (Nov 1 in my case).
See screenshot.

When I manually checked for a Play System update just now, it told me my update was over 600 MB! Sorry, no screenshot.

Yes, I have the Unlocked (and rooted) 512 GB model, using on AT&T. Maybe it hadn't checked for any Play System updates since I rooted - since I waited to root (and disable verity and verification, and flash the stock firmware and wipe) until just a week and a half ago (I think).
I confirm it now says November 1. Thank goodness Settings has search and I'm also glad it remembers my last several searches in settings, even after a reboot.

You do realize that Google Play system update (Settings > About phone > Android version > Google Play system update) is different from the monthly security patch (Settings > System > System update), right?

Excellent, because judging by some of the posts here that's not quite universal.
In case anyone is still confused:
Monthly patch - Nov 5
Google Play system Update - Nov 1

any noticeable changes? I'm asked to reboot... but I rather not until the next system update

Wear update screwed up the watch

I got the latest update to the wear app and after was getting delayed notifications. Decided to try reseting the watch and now it's not installing any apps to the watch and the watch is heating up and dying quickly. I've reset the watch again, cleared out the data and uninstalling android wear and reinstalled and it does the same thing I went from line 80% battery to 26% in like a half hour. Anyone have any thoughts
Edit: also the watch is stock no root or anything
Yup, I just updated. Lost 10% battery in the last 20 minutes. Something is not right.
I'm not seeing this, but it does show that Google really needs to have a way of reapplying an update and/or reverting back. This can be done via ADB sideload for phones/tablets, and we need an equivalent for AW. (This may already exist, but I'm just not aware of it... at least not an official way.)
There's an update to the Wear app in the Play Store now.

Oh, I think it's the 07 Oct one, version 1.0.2.1476973. I didn't see it until this morning (8 Oct Singapore time). No issues with it thus far.

Yeah me too. Just updated. App didn't force close or anything and watch seems to be the same still. Dropped 2% after update though -.-
The Oct 7 wear update just crashes on my Moto X. Had to uninstall and reinstall the older verwion from titanium backup. It did that with the earlier release too, I think it's date was Oct 3. There is something wrong somewhere.
Well after a recharge and another reset along with deleting all wear app data and uninstalling it and removing the 360 from the Bluetooth menu it synced and send ok again today. Plus the original slow notification issue is gone now too. Now if they'd just give be an option to show the step card less often is be set

Hi, same situation here on Droid Mini.
Can you send me your backup for older Wear?
Thanks
heres the apk before the update, uninstall updated app and install this one.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28511905/com.google.android.wearable.app-1.apk
The new release today (1.0.2.1534065 Oct 23) doesn't seem to fix the problem either. Both of the most recent updates cause this issue for me:
Android Wear 1.0.2.1534065 (current, Oct 23 release) Google Play or apkmirror
Android Wear 1.0.2.1476973 (Oct 6 release) apkmirror
Work arounds I've unsuccessfully tired so far:
Install/re-install, clearing Android Wear data & cache
Removed all other Wear apps
Cleared data & cache from Google Play Services
Factory reset Moto 360
Switched from ART to Dalvik & back
Direct install of v1.0.2.15 and v1.0.2.14
Upgrade from functioning v1.0.1.13 to v1.0.2.15 and to v1.0.2.14
Even tried to re-enable all of the pre-installed Moto bloat I had previously frozen
Multiple combinations of the above, with reboots between steps
I can, however, still use the older version of the Android Wear app without issue:
Android Wear 1.0.1.1379611 (Oct 2 release) apkmirror
Anyone with any other suggestions?

You can turn the step cards off. That's what I did. When u receive one. Just swipe until u get to settings and turn it off.

Question Latest build number?

Hi guys - just setting my 6 Pro up however I'm not convinced it's on the latest build - it's not showing any updates however I don't have the magic eraser in photos and the build number is showing in the quick settings area which seems rather strange (unless it's meant to). It's showing build sd1a.210817.015.a4.
Looks not far off from some of the Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices that have come out for the earlier Pixels.
12.0.0 (SP1A.210812.015, Oct 2021)

someone had build.prop from pixel 6 / Pro ?
Just had an update to SD1A.210817.036
Mine just updated to SD1A.210817.036 and the security updates show as 05/11/21! (UK Google store purchase)
Also updated to SD1A.210817.036 (UK) with SP dated 05/11.
It looks like everyone that's chimed in that they've had an update is from the UK.
No update here yet and I'm with the UK one and still on the original with October security updates.
I'm hoping it fixes the deep sleep issue I've already discovered after the first night! Every time I get a new Google phone I go through the same process of trying to debug battery drain. Not loaded anything on it yet, but it drains battery when in standby, and checking using the app CPU spy, my old Pixel XL 2 gets > 90% deep sleep overnight and pretty much flat lines, first night with Pixel 6 it had drained quite a lot (10%) doing absolutely nothing and that shows 8% in deep sleep was all it managed, with most of the time the CPU is at 300Mhz doing something, so some sort of wake lock. Got the camera app saying its been on for 14 hours as well so might be related. I've restarted and still very much the same.
No update here yet.. UK bought from Google store.
Another UK P6 Pro owner here, received yesterday 26th Oct.
Running SD1A.210817.015.A4 out of the box,, bought from Google direct.
Last night I noticed a notification for a security update (73.46MB) but for some reason it wouldn't install.
This morning it seems to have installed just fine - took a LONG time 'optimising apps' after, but its' done now.
Device is now running build SD1A.210817.036.
I did see some weird behaviours yesterday with the camera running in the background all the time and some other odd stutters, but hopefully a lot of this will iron out as the phone/adaptive battery learns about my usage patterns.

Question No updates in playstore

Anyone else having issues with apps not updating in the play store? If so, any fixes? I'm on P6P and latest update.
I have not had the issue. I happened to manually check yesterday and the Play Store was already in the process of updating three apps that needed it. Have you tried rebooting?
I have the same issue. I usually force close and clear cache for the Play Store and then updates appear.
I feel like having less updates than usual but I'm thinking it can be related with the holidays. Probably developer teams are reduced due holidays and the remaining ones don't want to be working extra hours on hotfixes hahaha

Correct. Like everyone else, holidays = vacation & time off !
Yeah noticed this too, hardly any app updates over the past couple of weeks, assuming developers have slowed down.
It does seem like fewer updates... Android 12?
Yeah nothing much

Do you refer to
a) you get no updates in general (right now)?
b) you get updates shown as available, but the system does not successfully automatically update them without your input?
A. That's because we just came out of christmas holidays. Most firms have closed/are running on low staff. There are no updates, because there are no updates.
B. That's a "common" problem and in 96% of the cases it's caused by singular apps being marked as "no auto update" - to check this, you have to go into
-> Open Play Store
-> Click on your profile (upper right corner, your GProfile icon)
-> Manage Apps & device
-> Manage
-> Click on any app
-> Click on three dots (upper right corner)
-> Check if "Enable auto update" is checked
For some stupid reason, backups can mess this up - and sometimes if even only 1 (!) app has been flagged as "no auto update", it will halt the entire update process.
And no, there is no easy way to streamline all apps as "auto update" - you will have to MANUALLY go through every app in that menu to find the culprit.
One of the things Google made worse over the years...

From Android 4 i have not been able to auto update from play store(can't remember what it was called back then) and today still not able to.
there were so many updates in December (on the play store). I know because I check daily, and there was a ton. let the devs rest for a few weeks.
It's not about vacations etc. I just did a force close and clear cache one minute ago and boom....3 updates appeared.
"Notify when updates are available for apps " is the issue for me. I don't use auto update for apps, never have on any phone.

Of the three profiles on my up-to-date Pixel 4 XL, the third one stopped getting updates to the installed apps in that profile, i.e. any update notifications or manual check for updates in the Play Store failed to pick up updates to most or or all of the apps unique to that profile.
I can't tell when this behaviour started, but it must have been some weeks ago. Going each app in the Play Store showed updates and noted that I was running a beta version (which was correct), but to update required updating to a non-beta then (re)joining the beta. Subsequently these apps have received updates via notification and check for updates in the Play Store.

Question App preferences being reset?

Recently I've noticed Battery optimisation for restricted apps, PIP preferences and usage access preferences are being reset to default after a restart. Is this happening to anyone else?
Completely stock, used Kiri and radioactive kernel. Flashed factory and locked then unlocked BL and tried again not sure what is happening
Same here. Lost all battery app settings yesterday when updating to A13.

Strange, im not on beta, the reset happens randomly, generally after a few consecutive restarts
It seems that I am not the only one who enounters this issue. This is really annoying.
App preferences started resetting again after a reboot
Not sure what or why, was on stock when it happened, so definitely not kernel behaviour
Very strange behaviour, had to sign into my backup app again also.

yes that is/was my take too.
I am facing the same issue. Did anyone find a solution?
Same here. I've been dealing with it for a couple weeks now except on my Pixel 7 Pro -- and I think it started after I took the latest Google Play update (the Oct patch that's broken into 2 separate updates via settings > security > Google Play system update)
Like you, I can set restricted battery for ANY app, restrict background data for ANY app, as well as any special permissions like "draw over" or "install from" and they're ALL reset after a phone restart.
I do not believe I was having this issue before the Oct 1 Google Play system update, but I can't be sure because I was doing a lot of things at that same time.
Any word on a fix?

I have exactly the same problem with LineageOS 19.1 and 20 for a couple of months. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.
Settings in Servicely, Battery Optimizations and WiFi-access are reset after some reboots. Also the permissions are revoked for SD-Maid, Warden, MyAndroidTools and OfficeReader.
Maybe a developer can give us more information about why this occurs? Is this a new "normal" behavior in Android 12 & 13?
@bgcngm Sorry to tag you, but do you know some developer that could explain this? Forgive me if I did something wrong here.

While this isn't a solution, I installed an app called AppOps and set my permissions how I wanted, then I made a backup of the permissions so I can restore them whenever they get reset instead of putting them back manually, it's not exactly a fix but it makes thing easier.
Guys, by cooperation we can fix our problem. Nobody of you tagged a dev with knowledge about roms. I'm quitting replying in this topic.

Question Play-systemupdate not working in A13?

I have noticed that since I upgraded to A13, the Play systemupdate is totally void.
When I press it in settings, nothing happens. On A12 it showed at least a screen 'Checking for update ...'.
Now nothing happens ...
Anybody has the same behavior?
(it shows as being on July 2022 now for me)
Hmmm ... just found this article on 9to5Google talking about this ...

Ok all, I'm getting quite frustrated with my P6P. Was on A12 and sideloaded the OTA for 13 Beta 4.1. I didn't want to lose any data but also didn't want to enroll in the beta program which would have pushed the OTA anyway. Beta was working...

Google Play Store v31.9.20-21 is rolling out and will fix that Play System Updates "bug"
31.9.20 broke the update for me (that worked flawlessly before), Play Store 32 fixed it.
I'm still on Play Store 31.9.13-21, and the Play System Update "button" is dead, so mine's broken even before receiving 31.9.20.
