Patiently waiting for update on GrapheneOS.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Are they working fast? I install Graphene last week so I have no idea yet...

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Last time it took them about a week or less, so they're pretty fast yeah

Is there a comprehensive list of all (user-facing) changes and new settings?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago
[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Thanks! In the meantime I also found a video by In Depth Tech Reviews (great channel) in which many changes are shown.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

He's awesome too, already subscribed to his channel. 👍

Pixel 4 says I'm up to date on last year's OS. 🪦

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Yep, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4a will not be getting anymore updates.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

With the 4a it's close to a scam. But what do you expect from Goo "Don't be evil" gle?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I agree entirely with that sentiment. With this absurd abandonment of the 4a, the constant reports of owners not being able to dial 911, and my 4a randomly deciding one day to go into "emergency mode" and begin calling 911 on its own (while the phone was in my hand, I was just checking email, finger was nowhere near the power button to activate "emergency mode"), and the fact that the feature gap between Android and iOS is becoming narrower and narrower, I am seriously considering going back to iPhone 🙄

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Just reporting in. Pixel 7 on T-Mobile and nothing yet. I tried that trick by turning off the SIM and checked over Wi-Fi too and nothing. I'll get it when I get it, no big deal.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Ditto, looked at the side loading options too, and it just seems like a lot of fuss in just to get the update up-to a week or so early.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I tried sideloading an update several times earlier this year and just had a lot of problems. It kept failing half way through and I got annoyed and gave up. Back in the Cyanogenmod days I would flash updates almost every week. I've just reached a point where I don't feel like messing with all that shit anymore. So I'll wait. lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Oh man, Cyanogen, nostalgia rush! I had that on my Motorola Cliq!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It breathed life into my Captivate and Infuse phones, beautifully at that. I miss the boldness of Android then.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Man I had a Captivate and then a Skyrocket, but my first Android phone was an HTC Aria. That thing was so tiny! lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Ah, HTC... They were my first smartphone, though it was old school WinMo slider. I later had the m8, which I still miss dearly...

Downloading it now. Pixel 6 in Poland.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Be super keen if a bit more effort was put into "themed icons" where it uses a monochrome icon for each of the apps to force them to use your selected theme pallet. I've got no idea why there isn't an option on the app level to override the default icon so that every app, regardless of how stubborn the developers are will be consistent.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

There were traces in the code about the forced solution I saw a couple of months ago in an article. Apparently it didn't make it into the final version which is a shame.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I side loaded it and it works great!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Thanks! Installing now, 6a in Europe.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Anyone by chance have the build number for the stable version?

I'm going to assume I didn't get silently updated from the beta to stable (especially since it's only now getting late over here, and OTAs normally only auto-install for me around 2AM), but I'd like to check just to be sure.

Live in Canada.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It will take days or weeks for the rollout to complete. If you want it before then, you can download the OTAs and sideload them from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota

[-] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Hasn't Android had a thing for a while where it gives update priority to people who manually check for updates? Like, my phone (7a) didn't say an update was available, but then I clicked the "Check for update" button, and now it said Android 14 is available.

So I don't think anyone who really wants the update soon needs to sideload the OTA, just check for an update and you'll probably get it.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

This sounds vaguely familiar. FWIW, I am still not seeing 14 on my Pixel 7 despite manually checking a bunch of times.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I've just checked now (Pixel 7a, Catalonia) and it's upgrading to 14

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I always do that. I think I only waited once, it notified me like 4 days later. But when I go into the settings and manually search for the update, it always gives me the update as soon as it's announced.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I always got updates on the day one. Is this american thing (because americans buy phones modified by their carrier)?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I got my phone unlocked directly from Google, but I think it might still get held back based on my network. I'm not sure what the current state of this is. Historically at least, yes, it's been a clusterfuck with US networks.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

2:20 ET America T-Mobile: Nothing yet (Unlocked P7 Pro)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Just installed. Pixel 7a, Germany. It booted 😂

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

got it in New Zealand 😎

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Interesting how yours wasn't weirdly quoted, I already thought it looked a bit strange. I'm on Pixel 6.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that's really weird, you'd think all builds for different devices went through the same build pipeline. I'm on 7a

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Mine too is n quotes, also pixel 6

Oh hey! I'm using a Pixel 6 Pro in Vietnam too. On GrapheneOS though.

I've gone from the beta that I've been using since it came out, now to the beta QPR1 Beta 2

Haven't even seen the stable version. Probably should have opted out somewhere 🤣

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Got it on Verizon P7P. Thanks for the heads up!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Downloaded and working in Pixel 7 PRO at Spain
