February Security Patch (Auto Fix?) - Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Has Android Auto been patched as promised with the February Security Patch? Has anyone received the OTA?

I guess, they'll release the feb patch on next Mon/Tue.

I don't think so....

not yet. Android auto has been very buggy for me. Random disconnect, several times i have to reboot the phone to get it to recognize the phone. Lately I noticed on the maps if I just keep it up while driving it starts looking weird and distorted so I have to back out of it then back in.
Android Auto has been a mess for a year. When I first used it back in early 2017 on 7.1.1. it was working perfect. Then a few issues with 7.1.2. Now 8.0 and 8.1 its not reliable.

Not yet. Android auto has been unreliable since 7.1.1. I have to reboot to get it to read the phone, random disconnects......my cord is fine. Most recently the maps start getting glitchy and pixelated after 15 minutes and i have to back out and go back in. Just been full of bugs and unreliable in the last 12 months.
Back in early 2017 on 7.1.1. I found it to work quite well, not so much anymore.

The update won't go out until the first Monday of the month.

Did you see me in the oneplus forums? If that is the case, I exchanged my 5t for a pixel 2 because it was to large for me

i did not. It's listed on your signature. That was the only phone I considered other than Pixel 2 however I have CDMA so I cannot use One Plus, but that was the only other Android phone I'd consider if I bought one.
It's probably good I never bought one as they were hacked:

The Pixel isn't perfect, but to me it's better than everything else out there.

Looks like it is out now.

That´s right. Version OPM1.171019.019

New baseband?

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL include Pixel Visual Core, Google's first custom imaging chip that allows for HDR+ quality pictures in third-party apps like Instagram and Snapchat. But Pixel 2 users haven't been able to take advantage of those capabilities because the co-processor hasn't been enabled. Well, they'll be able to soon because Google announced today that it's turning on Pixel Visual Core, bringing the HDR+ technology that's been available through the Pixel 2's main camera app to other photography, social media or camera apps.
Pixel Visual Core uses computational photography and machine learning to boost image quality in third-party apps that allow users to take photos. Now that it's enabled, Pixel 2 users can just take a pic in another app, and Pixel Visual Core will automatically make it brighter, more detailed and clearer. You can check out a before and after above.
Google says the update that will switch on Pixel Visual Core is rolling out over the next few days along with other software improvements. Additionally, new winter sports-themed AR stickers should be available later this week.

Yeah I really don't have to many issues either I was just being snide. I do think it burns too much battery while sitting idle with screen off though. I shouldn't be losing 5 to 10 percent battery overnight. Mind you my overnights are 6 to 7 hours usually.

Everyone calm down, it's not in aosp yet
and all i want is just a stock deodex rom =/
so what is new besides the HD voice and device protection ?

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

Any comments on the update?
Anyone know if this OJ1 update is compatible with OH7 root method (coming from OG2 5.0.2)?
TIA
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
^^^ Hmmm.... It's still just an update to stay within 5.0.2 where I am. To OJ4.
Mine is 223.99 MB
Didn't take a screenshot but mine was 1.2 GB?!
I don't know if that was because Smart Switch included the backed-up data I'd just processed?
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------
I guess that's it till sometime next year then...
Nope, still stuck on 5.0.2 here
I usually play Sims Free Play. I noticed that the UI has become tiny after the update. It's very difficult to play this game after this last update. The game doesn't have any option to increase UI's font. Also, increasing font size on tab s2 display settings does not have any effect on the game ui size.

I was on OH7 unrooted and took the 0J1 update and then used the CF autoroot OH7 method to root. Works fine.
Very bad update.
I've got mine 5 days ago, 240 smth MB's.
T-715 started to freeze if it is ON+connected to charger. Only way to restart or turn it of is to keep pressed PWR+Vol DOWN buttons
Also it is overheating without any reason, and it is restarting randomly at least 1-2 times/day.
It is not rooted, all software is legal/bought via Google Play.
Only way to charge device is to turn it off and than connect it to charger.
Battery life because of overheating - 80+C is reduced to less than 1 day.
Build num: LRX22G.T715XXU1AOI5

Just got my second update for the S2 T715 4G version, the latest one is 140MB.
update: apparently it's still android 5.0.2.
I just got my S2 (T-917T from T-mobile with 5.1.1 AOG8) yesterday and not long after I got home an update popped up. I held off at the time in case it complicated gaining root, but after doing so today I just got the notification again. The build is AOJ3 and... it looks potentially sketchy. Attached is a shot of the update screen, the second point is worrisome (?) "After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy." Weak... I've never downgraded firmware, but there are occasionally legit reasons to do so.
Is anyone running this build? Any problems?

Its normal, since samsung installed knox on their phones and tab, downgrade is not possible, through the normal way, or procedures.

Just seems a bit... hypocritical on Samsung and/or the carrier's parts. It's atypical, but sometimes a new build is just a total dud. But it's not unheard of for an "upgrade" to cause things like increased battery usage, excess heat, performance issues, app compatibility, sporadic boot loops. "New" security policy: no flashing back to the build that you were enjoying 2 weeks ago. A new build that addresses these issues will be out "soon".
I'm just really curious about the rational of insisting that you remain on a build that makes you hate your $$$ phone and also what the other mentioned "security policy" changes are baked into the new build because if they further (attempt to) restrict how I'm allowed to use the device that I own... I don't particularly care for that! Also, who knows how long one'll be stranded on a crappy build. It seems that Samsung should be spending their time ensuring that, at least, all of their flagship devices are receiving regular/timely updates rather than adding new policies that are particularly disadvantageous for power users who tend to buy those devices.

Its NOT normal. It has always been possible to downgrade regardless of KNOX with an unlocked bootloader.
So called security updates that state that you will not be able to downgrade are bad, and usually mean one thing a bootloader update. Bootloader updates like this often lead to locked bootloaders, its happened before on Samsung devices. Locked bootloader means, no root, no custom recovery and no roms.
I'd stay away from this update until more is known about it. It may be possible to update without the bootloader.

Where's our Nougat update ZTE??

Update 6/21/2017: OTA update to Android 7.1.1 is out, and I received the OTA and installed it around 10 pm CST. Working great so far!! I like to think that my writing this post here on XDA finally caught the attention of ZTE, so they decided to get the update out ASAP lol. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Getting a Nougat update for the Axon 7 mini seems to be too much of a challenge for ZTE. As most of you know, ZTE has been running a closed Beta test of Android Nougat for our device. Three months is a pretty long Beta test, and it seems to me that ZTE may be experiencing some problems. I am not part of the Beta, I was in the hospital and didn't find out about it until sign ups were over. Is there anyone who's running the Beta right now that could give us an update? Feel free to PM me, and I can pass any updated info along to those of us not in the Beta, as I don't want anyone who does pass the info along to get in trouble for violating an NDA. Thanks!

I messaged ZTE on twitter about a week ago asking if they plan on releasing nougat or if not to unlock the bootloader if they planned on no longer supporting the device and this is the reply I got.
The Axon 7 Mini is still supported, and we've confirmed than an update will be released soon. We appreciate your continued patience. At this time, we are unable to provide assistance to unlock the bootloader of this device.

Thanks for the info, hopefully the update will be here soon!
I have received information about the beta via a couple of PM's from active beta testers. Looks like they are currently testing 7.1.1 with the June security patch. The software is said to be running good, but has a couple unspecified bugs that need to be corrected. All sources indicate that the update should be releasing very soon, but no confirmed release date yet. I wi6add further information as I receive it.

That's just weird. According to the beta testers, that build was sent to them shortly after the beta began, and still has some software bugs. I would have thought that ZTE would at least have one more update to the firmware prior to launch.
I guess we'll see if ZTE just ignored the bugs to get the update out. Apparently the OTA is supposed to be available, but I'm not seeing it yet (Missouri). Anyone here in the US been able to update yet?

I am downloading the 7.1.1 update now! I have the Axon 7 Mini on T-Mobile in the US. I will post more info as soon as it finishes. Very excited to see it says it adds T-Mo Wi-Fi calling support.
I got the update last night but this morning after turning on the T-Mobile wi-fi calling it messed up my cellular radio. Keeps turning on/off. Connects then disconnects. Anyone else having this problem?
Looks like I may have to reset the phone. ?

Is it possible to set a custom dpi?
So I reset my phone and that didn't fix my problem. I messed around with all the WiFi & WiFi calling settings and cellular data settings with none of them fixing my problem. I then turned on the developers options and for some reason that fixed my cellular from turning on and off.
That fixed my issue if anyone has the same problem.

Okay thanks man
My son's got it this morning finally... Update took a while, probably close to 40 minutes start to finish, including the "Android is upgrading" portion after full boot. That must be an N thing, it rebuild cache on the fly or something. So far so good, no issues or problems yet.
We don't have T-Mobile here, use H2O (an AT&T MVNO) and so far no issues with radios or connection.
TBH, the more I play with this device the more I like it... the UI isn't too bad, one thing that gets me is the modified "Home" menu and you can't easily switch launchers without uninstalling one, but that is for another thread if I ever decide to pursue it.

Actually, it's in the Developer Settings. I saw it under "smallest width," if I'm not mistaken.

So, after I installed the update, I had connection problems. Everything had trouble using data. I reset and it's fine. And I must say, I'm impressed. It feels smoother and faster than before. I'm happy they finally released it.

Carrier SIM:
Approx. update file size and count (did you install two OTAs and reboot twice?):
The reason is that there are multiple 'final' build numbers out there for those going from DP4 => Oreo

Build number: OPR6.170623.012
Bought from Alpabet (formally Google)
Memory: 128mb
PIXEL XL
SIM: Verizon
I think it 850mb or so. One OTA, one reboot
Hope that helps.
After using it for about 24 hours I can't say that I have noticed a big increase or decrease in battery life. I know most people say give it a day or 2 for the update to "settle in". I also have had 0 problems with apps so far.

[FIXED - May 2018] Multi-touch issues in Android 8.1.0

Issue has been fixed in builds:
Android 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.029.B1, May 2018)
Android P Developer Preview 2 (PPP2.180412.013, May 2018)
Last builds affected:
Android 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.029, Apr 2018)
Android P Developer Preview 1 (PPP1.180208.014, March 2018)
When two or more fingers are placed on the screen for an extended period of time the touch input from the second finger will become erratic at times, jumping to different parts of the display while you are moving it. I play first person shooter games commonly and this issues is extremely annoying when trying to aim.
If anyone has time to test I highly encourage you to let Google know of the problem by going to:
Settings > System > About Phone > Send feedback about this device
Also you can star the issue I already created in the Android issue tracker. Links are below for anybody able to test. Thanks for reading.

Use issue # 70344455 from post #2. The one from DP has been deferred.
I put up a new video today demonstrating using one of Google's own apps vs a game.

Has anybody tested to see if the issue is present using any of the custom kernels on XDA? I am just trying to determine where the problem originated.
yes, i am using this one:

I have also sent feedback via settings and posted in the issue tracker. I would love to know of there are Pixel 2 XL owners that do not have this issue. If that is the case I will be submitting an RMA. Tomorrow I will be contacting support and asking for a definitive answer as to when and if we can expect a fix. This is the single most frustrating issue I have with the device. I love everything else about this phone but this is driving me nuts

I watched the videos attached and to my surprise and unfortunate relief I noticed you are having this issue with SGL. That and Afterpulse are unbearable to play.
Just remove your case
Happens to me all the time while zooming in on photos!

Any luck contacting support? I don't think RMA will help, as it is a software issue. SGL is frustrating as hell, I end up not completing any missions I start.

Are you using case? Try to reproduce your problem without it.

Do you have a link? It doesn't sound like the same kind of problem to me, but I am curious.

Well my apologies I thought you were trying to be a wise guy. Again this was one of the first possible solutions I thought of as I've had that work with previous devices. Sometimes the grounding when making contact with the actual device without a case does work. However, I've tried all possible fixes and none have worked.

Sure, but be ready for translating russian. http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=847032&view=findpost&p=69149836
Before this post some discussion and attempts of other people to reproduce that.

Thanks. Well, I tried it, no luck. It is most definitely software. Downgrading to 8.0.0 fixed it for me. I'm back on 8.1.0 now though, I shouldn't have to run older software and an outdated security patch just to "fix" a problem that Google should fix properly. Part of the appeal of the Pixel is being up to date.
I read somewhere that the Feb update is supposed to address some of the touch and swipe issues. Try again then.

Where did you read that? Google has been pretty silent on the issue.
Is is any better for Feb OTA update?
