This is the new Google map 5. has nothing to do with the update.
"Official change log is as follows:
This system update from Google contains important bug fixes plus the latest version of Maps.
So yea, apart from the usual bug fixes and the latest Google Maps 5.0 app for Android, there is nothing much to look for in this update.
If you haven’t got the OTA update notification yet, you can force your handset to get it by dialing *#*#checkin#*# from the phone dialer to force your phone to prompt you for this Android 2.3.1 update."

wouldn't say force, it just re associates your device with the tower
I noticed a small improvement, maybe others didn't have this issue, but before the update it would usually take a full second after I pushed the power button for the device to wake up. Other than that, it was perfect. Now after the update, it wakes up a lot more quickly. Now it's just perfect!

FYI: Just got a new firmware update for "sensors". Not sure what the update is all about.
Me too, my guess is Moto is separating the new sensors as a new app for faster updates and adding new features. Similar to what they did with active display and such.

I think you may be right because I also got updates on various MOTO apps.

I agree with that assessment as well. Plus as soon as I finished updating all that I got a notification to install new sensor firmware
Can somebody explain in more detail about firmware update for "sensors". Is it OTA update?
I have Pure edition and if I check System update manually it says that the software is up to day. I am on KKE21.187-42 (build number).

the update for sensors is through the moto sensors app or whatever it's called

FWIW: my build number is -43. XT 1096. Verizon version. I wouldn't get too excited about this, though.

If its Verizon seeing the update it may enable VOLTE
Updating the "Motorola Sensor Services" app through the Play Store triggered a notification for this update.
None of the Moto stuff (Camera, Voice, Display, etc.) showed in "My Apps" before I manually searched/updated them, which seemed odd.

No. Verizon will roll out Advanced Calling 1.0. Has to be enabled on your phone and your account. Strictly optional.

Yes optional but no it has nothing to do with an app. It does require a software update to enable the feature.
Source: having two devices that received an OTA to enable the feature
"None of the Moto stuff (Camera, Voice, Display, etc.) showed in "My Apps" before I manually searched/updated them, which seemed odd."
--> Same situation for certain Google Applications on ALL Nexus version... It's a known problem.
Interestingly, mine appears to have taken the OTA and updated successfully despite being rooted and having Xposed and GravityBox installed and active.
I wish we'd get the firmware update to do data/voice simultaneously. It makes me crazy.
I received an OTA today. Like 377 MB.
It looks like a new bootloader as well. Didn't come with a change log, but below is the informative after the update. NMF26X.N950USQU2BQJA

Yes it is new bootloader. I expect this for around 2 weeks now. Seems like it is little harder to flash anything on this bootloader.

Yeah I'm installing it now myself.
Updated mine but facial recognition is now not working. Under settings, I see under Screen Lock Type I still have password, Face and Fingerprints as an option but "Face Recognition" is now grayed out. If I go into the Screen Lock Type setting, Face shows the switch to the right but that option is grayed out as well and can't be changed.

Might want to try going to lock screen and security settings then go to other security settings and clear credentials. I haven't had that same problem since I updated today so I haven't tried it on this phone but it worked on another Android device that I have when it greyed out Security Options.

What's changing: Network performance enhancements, stability improvements, other various updates and fixes, and Android device security updates, including KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability fix and BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)
I'd say that the KRACK fix itself is a good reason to update.

Happened to me a few minutes ago. Don't do factory reset yet. Use ADB to uninstall the app created by substratum.

apparently all that does is clear your saved certificates. I have been able to disable face scan by turning on iris but that doesn't work so well with my glasses. Face recognition is my preference but I can't seem to get it to enable after update.

Shoot! I couldn't wait around anymore without my phone not working and did a factory reset through recovery.... UGH woke up was all restored and I forgot NOT to restore substratum and was back to system ui errors so here I go again restoring without substratum... I'm nervous to reinstall substratum again!

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.

Do anybody have problem with making and receiving calls ? When I try to make call phone app drops in 1 sec. When someone try to call me they are forwarded to voice mail. I experience this on 2 of my Notes 8 after update.

Downloading N950USQS2BQK2 VZW Firmware...going to upload it tomorrow...
What's the difference between N950USQU2BQJA and N950USQS2BQK2 ? I just got the first update 2 days ago and just got the second one just now. But can't find any information on it.
Im wondering the same thing.. An update a day after the other update? Sounds like someone broke something or did an Oopsie.
First update had the October security update and camera enhancements, the second update is the November security update.

Verizon Updated Firmware added to OP of main thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74087340&postcount=1
Unfortunately, the update borked my phone -- I just get a black screen with a message "System UI has stopped" -- when I click it off the screen, it comes back a second later. I saw in another forum that perhaps substratum is the culprit -- anyone have any ideas on a fix? I know that the phone is working to some degree, my Huawei watch is still connected and I get notifications on it. But I can't really access the phone at all, only black screen and error messages. Also, I have tried safe mode and I get the same issue -- which tells me that it shouldn't be a substratum issue since safe mode deactivated 3rd party apps, but who knows? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue like u after the update. if u do have a substratum theme installed then that's most likely your issue. Luckily for me I had usb debugging on and I was able to adb and uninstall the theme systemui by running these command through adb.
adb shell
pm uninstall com.android.systemui.SwiftDark.Android7SamsungS8

Humm, since last update, Gmail no longer offers dark mode.
Seems to be a bug, as many users are complaining about this.
Waiting for an update, soon.
https://9to5google.com/2020/02/03/gmail-dark-theme-missing/
Saw a fix that someone posted on Reddit and it worked for me.
If you have root go to /data/data/com.google.android.gm/shared_prefs/flagprefs.xml
From there edit the DarkThemeSupport flag to true.

Thanks for responding. I'm on stock locked Verizon February update. Call screening worked in January but I don't think with locked BL I can go back. Wonder why they deleted it??
FYI, with the latest gmail version I still had to:
- force stop gmail
- clear cache
Dark mode is back

Dark mode never left for me in Feb patch. Im running stock rooted. I too have the now have the automatic call screening which I'm using. The one feature I was hoping to get but dont have from the pixel 4 is screen attention where the screen stays on if your looking at it.
The Feb patch seems to have stuck my phone in a boot loop.
EDIT: eventually my phone managed to boot again, and says that the update installation failed. I think I'll leave this update alone for now.
