With android pie set to be coming this month I thought I'd make a thread to discuss new features and any issue with the new update also to let people know when the update starts to roll out etc.
I have had my tab s3 since 2 months after it came out and am looking forward to the last os upgrade this tablet is set to get
Believe me, I postponed factory reset and cleaning junk from my tab s3, just because I am anxious to get the update. Hope it will be worth the wait.
Things I expect the most are dex mode, and night teme. Hope one of these two will be covered by update. Of course, I cannot wait for One UI aesthetics, as I like it, seems more minimalistic and simple compared to Samsung Experience... Checking for update daily

From late May:
https://www.sammobile.com/2019/05/29/android-pie-update-galaxy-tab-s3-and-galaxy-s8-active/
"Android Pie update for Galaxy Tab S3 and S8 Active may not be too far off
It appears Samsung is finally gearing up to release the Pie update for the Galaxy Tab S3 and Galaxy S8 Active soon. Multiple variants of these two devices have received Wi-Fi certification with Android Pie onboard, indicating the release may not be too far. Although not a rule, it usually takes a month or two after Wi-Fi certification for an update to hit the market."
The 1 or 2 month delay from certification to public release is way over!
intentional delay?

Official update roadmap said that update is due in August, so this is the month that we should get it.
Those articles from May were just proof that the update is ready and being tested.

while August is current roadmap, i might be wrong , but i recall seeing July as release month in older Samsung roadmaps.
Being Tab S3 a former flagship tablet, i am quite unhappy with the delay. Its Samsung call, but i believe they have already updated to Pie many cheaper devices from same vintage.
the true reason of my post is just to vent my frustration, as i am also checking for the update every other day!

yeah, thanks ,i was aware of current roadmap
my point is twofold:
- i would bet than on older version of roadmap update was bound for July release! i didnt keep a copy of old roadmap so i just rely on my memory. i understand that the roadmaps are dynamic and not carved in stone
- Device Pie certification made me expect an earlier release.
unmet expectations=frustrations.
not a big one in my list of priorities though.

I only hope it (Pie) comes in order for improvements in LineageOS (hopefully Official) and related ROMs. I'm on 8.0 Tweaked (Sammy stock) and it's great but still nothing beats Stock Pie.
Down side to having Pie is that there is no official Xposed for Pie, EdXposed is a hit and miss, even more so the modules.

Apart from the obvious one ui changes
I got the update few hours earlier. I'm also trying to figure out what's new except one ui. So far I found that multitasking/split screen changes. Also ui seems faster. I've attached some ss. Sorry i couldnt be much help.
Thank you! Looks nice with dark mode. How's battery?

I doubt it the cpu in the tab s3 came out in early 2016 I don't think it has the power to run it as it is more heavy than android plus if they have it was mode they would discourage people from getting the new tab s6 or the tab s4 they want us to upgrade remember.
It came out in 2017, I don't see the reason it wouldn't have it
how long until non LTE release? T820?

Yes but the snapdragon 820 processor came out in 2016 (announced in 2015 ) so the cpu itself is quite dated that's what I meant. I would love it to get dex made just dont think it would run very smoothly even if it did get it

Meanwhile N is coming. Considering 6.0.1 is just a minor update wonder why it took a many months. Assuming this is real and we get it this year.
I dont carer about Android 6.0.1. Better will be when LG will prepare the Android N and we could have it as early as it's possible.
Its like this u can care for n,o,p,q,r,s..... The only thing matters is information. And we'll have to wait for the n update sth like 6 to 8 months. i think and u dont want to sit 8 months on offical v20d ger/eu. this is just some information for evrybody and not a discussion thread.
I should not have posted this....
If u want fast Updates go for Nexus or iOs
Its like this while n will come out the g4 is going to be the 3rd best and not like now the 2nd because lg is going to release a new phone for the second half of 2016 im pretty sure so 6.0.1 would be pretty nice
I'm looking forward to 6.0.1. There are numerous bugs with Bluetooth that 6.0.1 should fix.

I'm more anxious about this than N because this will probably be more stable than the first N releases. I just want a stable release, and 1 year before G4's release I still think the OS is half finished :/
I still have very bad battery life and some BT issues (sometimes it doesn't output audio via BT, I need to restart the device).
[If we get the new UX would be a bonus].
When the 6.0.1? I want to use wakelock with xiaomi mi band
Enviado desde mi LG-H815 mediante Tapatalk
They have updated the schedule table. Roger's G4 will receive 6.0.1 on July 21st.
But why LG is so slow to release for no-brand EUR devices too?
Seems like Rogers decided not to bother with any of the security updates for 6.0 and will just jump directly to 6.0.1 That's a pretty dangerous policy with all the vulnerabilities that they have left their users exposed to for over 6 months!
Having come from a Nexus 5 to the LG G4 this really makes me think my next phone needs to be back to a Google one.
So I Saw the news on AA and I don't know but it said here that most of the Motorola devices will receive Android 7.0. My confusion is that: will Moto X play receive 7.0 as well?
http://www.androidauthority.com/android-7-0-update-679175/
I guess we are out of luck on this one. I got my X Play in January. It came with Lollipop, but I could almost immediately upgrade to Marshmallow. Security level was "December 2015". Last April we could upgrade to March 2016 and since then there is no release except one for India. Since then Google has released updates :
April : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-04-02.html
May : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-05-01.html
June : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-06-01.html
July : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-07-01.html
August : https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-08-01.html
Each of these updates contains at least one (but up to eight) updates which are marked Critical.
I think any manufacturer has reasons to deploy these updates. Since it requires a lot of effort I'm not expecting an OTA each month, but it would be nice to see an OTA every 2-3 months. No news from Motorola is bad news for me. It seems they move on to the next series of devices.
After 5 months "your device is up to date", I've had it. My phone has been unlocked last week, and it now runs one of the custom ROMs found here. It has the July update, and I am expecting an OTA update for my ROM soon.
An 2015 phone without 7.0? No way. I hope we will receive it in 2017.

My humbled opinion is that we will get android 7 for sure. Lenovo support moto devices minimally with 2 big system updates and our moto got just one (marshmallow) yet. So I am quite optimistic if you ask me...
We can only speculate until they officially announce about if they will release or not.
Pretty sure the phone can support 7.0
At least SD615 is on the list of 7.0 supported SoCs, so fingers crossed:

Aaahhh i already found it, but you where first to post it
but if found another wiki page about the Adreno
As you can see the Adreno (graphical chip) of the Moto x play is supported(405) which is included in the Snapdragon 615
So there is hope for android 7
All 2015 moto x series are getting android N
I think N will be 64 bit.
This is good news!!
At Geekbench, you can find as many as 7 listing showing Android 7.0 running on Galaxy S7. And even more listings for the curvy brother, S7 Edge.
See them pages here.
It's entirely possible Samsung could release the Nougat build this month, otherwise October looks a sure-shot!
Thoughts?

Any ideas if they'll finally fix the MVNO roaming issue? It stops background data on a lot of apps when it detects you as roaming, regardless it's your own network. This is not a Samsung bug, more like Android, but Samsung made it worse with the way it makes some apps behave when it detects roaming.

Any ideas why so long? Sony already got it and they are skinned as well as others are close behind like Samsung with their beta tests and htc why is this one taking so long to push since it is almost pure?

Sony have a much bigger dev team, plus sony has a large community of devs and testers that work for free since they release all their code to open source.
But is this not like the purest of Android ... On paper it should be just plug test and play for the A1?
In principle, yes. But I going by the apparent fact that Google isn't in charge of software but xiaomi is, my guess is that is the reason why there is no oreo yet...
I presume. I've heard good things for this company let's see how this phone will hold up to what people say
I think that the Andorid One topic is quite new for them (too) and they just have to collect their experience first so I'm pretty sure for the following updates they will get more and more routine so this is just the beginning....
With Android One, doesn't Google control the OS updates like in Pixel. We get security fixes along with Pixel
Android one suppose to be the first device after pixel and nexus to get Oreo.
Devices are getting beta version or something of Oreo.
And we are just waiting ,
Don't want to rush anything but atleast a official comment on the Oreo for android one would be grate...
They says by the end of this year,its mean December,calm down
I have a friend working in Mi China and he says their Target is indeed for December 2017. So let's just all chill out till then.
From what I guess Google isn't really controlling the updates of mi a1. STOCK android doesn't support capacitive nav bars and a IR sensor too. Moreover there are dual cameras on this phone. So mi has to so tweaks to accommodate all this. That's why it must be taking some time.

There is nothing like this. Android one is a program which ensures every updates not faster updates. So keep calm. They will release it by 31st Dec.
The update chain is not that what u r thinking right now.
Google - Processor manufacturers - OEMs - Beta testers - OEM - Public Release.
As far as what I've seen and heard on mi community discussions some guy had posted a pic of his discussion with one of the representatives from Xiaomi. It said that they werent sure on when they are going to release the update as they haven't finalized the date yet. They said that it could be in late january 2018

I would give them 2-3 days more before I start having my doubts . They've said by end of December ..so no point rushing unless . Just hope there aren't any major bugs in the beta

I'm on official pie, and haven't faced any bugs besides a bit of battery drain and and little animation glitches. Everything is all Gucci.
I will go abroad on holidays and considering that I have an EFS backup so I can downgrade without any problem, I think that i'll go back to Oreo.
I need that battery lasts longer and a good signal reception that now is very bad (other than the LTE issue that I solved my self)
Every time I do the same mistake, accepting the update immediately without waiting for others users feedback, and this time Xiaomi did a disaster.
However I think that Pie will be last major release for Mi A1, they learned that more recent is the Android version and more difficult is to make it supporting older platforms, and SD625 is actually an old platform.
So yes, the update was luckily pulled down but the disaster is done. I hope they will found a fix for everything they messed up.

It surely is.
Android One is supposed to get two years of support, and Mi A1 was released in spring 2017, so...
625 is not the problem, also MI A2 Lite is on the same SoC but it will receive Android Q for sure.
