Anyone got their June 2018 security updates yet ? Mine is still on May 2018.

According to Google, it will be released this summer (US season)

I am on 8.1
Security patch level is still May 2018. Checked for update but it says my system is up to date.
Was wondering anyone else is getting their OTA update on time?

Google servies is updated from the Play Store? If yes, I don't see any updates from Play Store.
Still not OTA as of now.

You can check out the this app developed by XDA in-house. No root required. Just ADB commands to give the app secure write permission

The app is available on Play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...a.onehandedmode

Just don't expect it to work as well as Samsung/Huawei/iPhone because this is not built into the OS. It is just an app after all. You might want to try out a custom navigation bar so it is easy for you to trigger the hand handed mode.

I personally think Pixel shines when it comes to software and services.
Other phones like the one plus 6, HTC U12+ or even p20 pro shines on the hardware side. Very different approach.

BTW, June 2018 security update is now live. I just got it. 😁

Pixel 2 boot up in 5 seconds flat is just crazy.

Foudn this from XDA forum a while ago:

The HDR plus on is the always on mode that is default. It constantly takes underexposed photos and combines them to create better color and dynamic range. The HDR enhanced is the classic HDR that's on most phones that takes a underexposed, regular and over exposed photo and combines them for a bigger effect. This takes longer and is effected by movement very easily.

Phone manufacturers who only sell hardware will always push for the latest tech in hardware to entice you to upgrade because beside hardware, they have nothing else to sell. Google, Apple and until a certain extend Xiao Mi is not one of those manufactures. In this sense, their release cycle is not a disadvantage to them.

To those who are loving on the fast lane, how are you liking Android P Beta as your daily driver?

Got mine Pixel 2 XL from T&L last month. Blue tint is there when you view it off angle. Black smear when the display is in lowest brightness in a completely dark environment. Apart form these issues, the display is fine for my everyday usage. My unit was manufactured in Nov'17 and it's sourced from Google Canada.

Just note that once you replace your screen, your water resistant is as good as gone.

I bought mine from T&L and I didn't pay anything to SIRIM. Needless to say, I didn't get any SIRIM stickers too. How ah?

Means T&L settled all taxes and SIRIM?

Anyways, previous when I bought iPhone directly from Apple online store and the phone was shipped from China, it comes with SIRIM stickers. I would think that it's the same.

I also search my IMEI here but no record found

Might be worthwhile for you to decide after the Pixel 3 has been announced. Also, you have the option to replace the battery on your Nexus 6P while waiting.

I am on beta 3 as well. I can enable OEM unclock on mine.

Android P/9 - DP5/Beta4 is out. Minor changes, e.g. icons. This build includes final system behaviors.
