So when I bought my Nexus 6P I knew I was going to get the latest updates as soon as Google released them. I also expected to find minor bugs because we are getting updates much faster as well.
What I was not expecting is to both, bugs that make for a nearly unusable device and minor annoying ones. For my device the bugs that hit me hard are;
Max Volume Bluetooth Speaker Bug - Most bluetooth speakers are stuck in max volume mode and can't be turned down. Distorts the audio and creates a situation were you could blow out the speaker. Not all speakers are effected.
No LTE On Boot - Annoying to have but "fixable" by putting the device in Airplane mode. Otherwise no Data or SMS until you do and hope your phone doesn't reboot in you pocket while waiting for an important message.
No Phone Calls - You can't make or receive calls. As a result you can't check VM either. No amount of Airplane mode or rebooting will fix it. Neither will the phone service menu.
My concern here is that Google hasn't patched these bugs yet, even after releasing another update to 6.0.1 M. For now I'm fine with downgrading to 6.0.0M but I'm missing out on updates.
To add to insult any ROM build with the 6.0.1 source is effected by these bugs, so I can't even use most ROMs unless I find an older version.
I guess my main question here is this:
Is this normal? Does Google usually go so long without patching the bugs?
Seems really silly to have a phone, but not be allowed to make or receive calls at all and not be able to send SMS or email unless you do a few tricks first. It's a phone. Don't they test these things?
Disclaimer: I already know not all 6P or Nexus devices are effected. That does add to my confusion as they all should be the same exact device.
EDIT: I also wanted to add that when I got the device I could do all these things however even downgrading will no longer allow phone calls. Something is retaining.
Well that's weird mate. I'm on 6.0.1 and have none of these problems.
I was experiencing awful battery life after the latest update but clearing the cache has made a huge difference
Have you tried reaching out to Google? It would be helpful if you could share how you upgraded to 6.0.1? As mentioned above did you clear cache? The more info you can provide; the faster someone can help you.
The Bluetooth volume issue is the only one I have and only on one of my speakers. The others with fine.
Huh, ya 6.0.1 here too and none of these issues are present.

The updates

Just got my alert for it too. But I have learned, the hard way, to wait for others to go first.
Just make sure you uninstall any Substratum themes before you take the update.
Also ALWAYS have a good reliable connection. Bad service is the number one way an OTA gets botched up. It fragments the download and can cause all sorts of wonky stuff.
Just did the download myself. Installed fine. No issues.
Camera has a new live focus helper... Seems a bit useless, but I guess if people were having big issues with it then it might be helpful.
Also just for anyone who is interested

I updated about an hour ago without issue, but I had that camera feature before today. It appeared after I did a factory reset about two weeks ago.
Anyone know if this had the KRACK fix in it? Verizon's got this in their update along with the Nov Sec update and Live Focus update, just last week .
I've had a issue with the gallery since the update before this one. When scrolling through it randomly jumps back up or is almost unresponsive to my touches. The only way to scroll smoothly is by using the blue scroll button on the side. It's incredibly frustrating! I've done a factory reset and and it still occurs, even after this update.
It only occurs in the gallery app btw

In the settings menu of the Gallery app, are the first two settings turned on? I think this happened on mine a while back (although I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly) and I turned off the Samsung cloud sync and image analysis and it stopped. If this doesn't work, I must be thinking of something else. Sorry.
Edit: I have all the options in settings turned off and my gallery seems ti be working smoothly.
Faceunlock still broken for me with exchange EAS
No update for me yet. Anyone else still yet to receive?

I recently bought the blue colour version of azmpm1, and as usual it was having the same multi touch bug and below average front camera, then I checked for updates and first it downloaded around 560mb update and after installing it I again checked for updates and it installed the latest 19/09 update, so my phone updated only twice but now even if I'm on latest firmware the previous bugs like multi touch and poor camera performance are still present, I compared to my friend's phone who bought the phone very early and has got each and every update, it's like my phone skipped the updates in between where those bugs were fixed, I need help if anyone knows about it.
Hello,
Anyone else notice a generally more sluggish performance in the phone (slow to switch, delay after pressing buttons, etc.) after installing the recent LG update that brought the security patch level to Dec 1 2018?
Over the past four updates, I noticed a variation in responsiveness. Currently, the phone is sluggish and lacks responsiveness. The immediately previous build/patch was very responsiveness, like how the phone performed initially. Prior to that, the 2nd previous build/patch was also sluggish. And the 3rd previous was very responsive.
So it seems like the pattern recently has been that there was something wrong with a patch to cause sluggishness, they fixed it in a follow-up patch, then they issued another update (current) that is sluggish because it repeated the same mistake as before, and I'm hoping they'll fix it like they did before by issuing yet another patch to address the sluggishness?
Anyone else suffering sluggishness and lack of responsiveness since installing the Dec 2018 patch?
Not, rooted, located in US.
Before I did the OTA update to 8.1 last night, my external speaker worked fine, both for speakerphone calls, and media playback.
During my first use of 8.1 today, the external speaker is now so quiet (on full volume) that it's useless in all but the quietest rooms.
Calls on speakerphone are barely louder than if I just shut the speaker off. Watching Youtube on full blast is barely discernible in an average noise environment, and forget listening to music outside or in the car.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Same problem here
It's a official software bug. Most of the people who updated Oreo got this issue. If you want to use your phone use any other custom ROM available here. Otherwise need to downgrade to Nougat. If you can wait for another update from Moto to rectify this bug means bare with this volume issue untill Moto releases new update to fix this.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I doubt Moto will ever release a fix for this.
I never bothered rooting this phone, I guess I am going to find out if its even possible, now that it has Oreo on it.

Rooting stock Oreo is even easier compared to Nougat, because you don't need a custom kernel anymore. Still I would advise to use the new Loony Kernel or ElementalX for being able to use different RGB values if your device has screen retention problems.
Other observations from this OS "upgrade:"
My phone now struggles to stream Youtube to Chromecast... video/sound sometimes is choppy... previously no issues at all.
Sometimes the phone randomly decides Wifi wont work. Can flip the switch to the on position, but it still says "Wifi is off." Only recourse is to restart the phone.
Overall very disappointed. Can't wait until I get a chance to root and ditch this OTA update.
