guys will there still be new custom roms, new builds and a lot of development now that the device is not anymore supported by google ? will there be android 10 custom roms when it will come out or it will be impossible since there will be no more official google updates ?
Is Google really dropping the Pixel exactly 24 months after launch?
I thought it on the radar for longer
i heard they stop development on updates in october, they will still update the security patch till october 2019, but i was wondering if indie developpers will still take time to build roms on it or they will consider it as a lost of time
Devs will still support the device if they own it.
Pretty crazy how quickly these things depreciate. Used Pixel XLs are going for pennies.

Well, security updates and bug fixes should be available for one more year, till October 2019, just no new major OS updates - Pie is final for Pixel / Pixel XL First Gen. Officially.
It will be always an update to the next major OS (10)
Pixel devices are well known by the dev so no problem to custom roms

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.

In the sections below, we provide details for each of the security vulnerabilities that apply to the 2019-03-05 patch level

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.
I know we might have to wait to mid or late Dec for it but anyone got it as of now for p6 or pro?
