I updated to the new December patch and my face unlock was broken I redid it may be four to five times and ended up factory resetting which fixed my problem

Did you go from an unlocked build to a carrier build? That will cause issues with Face Unlock and for me also causes issues with phone lag. Full flashed the unlocked factory image back to my phone and everything was back to normal.

I dont think I did but maybe thanks for that info really helps!

Stock kernel or? Some customs need to be updated to Dec sources for face unlock to work

If this it's the case, what is the correct Dec version?

My original unlocked build was QD1A.190821.007
I originally went to QD1A.190821.014.C2 in November because I'm on ATT and then had issues with phone lag and had to redo my face data.
I then flashed to QD1A.190821.007.A3 for the unlocked phone and had no issues.
For December I went to QQ1B.191205.011 at first with no issues, but then flashed QQ1B.191205.012.A1 as that was what most were getting on an unlocked phone regardless of carrier through OTA (I'm not in the EMEA region or on Google Fi or T-Mobile).

Since it is unlocked, U1, the update came from Samsung. not att. It was a minor security patch that brought security up to the December patch.

Im on retin (Retail India) and still no sign of update. Update comes to Moto Z (2016) & Moto Z2F at the same time..
Only time worth taken a OTA is if it gets a upgrade to Pie..I'm not upgrading from my DU 8.1 until then..
Don't need Pie, I really like oreo. But there is no much difference. So, let Pie come to us. Few bug fixes here and there. But maybe better wait for possible 9.0.1. We will see what we see.

Pie also don't concern me specially when im going to lose the themes:crying: My Major concerns are the bugs which are lying here and there , such as no audio offloading (16bit & 24bit and video) which makes music comes like a crap , no EQ apps can be used due to that. Bug in headphone icon indicator in status bar which doesn't show proper icon for headset with mic (eg.Apple Earpods)
I've been using Los 16 for a few days now and Pie is a huge difference!
Even the fonts have changed for the better. I can't go back to Oreo now. Pie is so much better!

I am in Italy with international model and I got the update message (so in Europe there is the update), downloaded the package but it says that an error occurred and I can't update. I think it's due because my phone is rooted. What I can't understand is that Magisk is completely hided and safety net passed, maybe someone can help me?
Thanks

You're rooted. The updater checks the hash of the system, boot, and OEM partitions, if they've been edited the hash will be different and fail the OTA. You would need to flash your system, boot and OEM images from a flash all to take the ota
I just got the update, Sprint, US. The device isnt activated though, trying to fix that.

Oreo Release Thread

Finally this has arrived for RETGB!
Currently running the install and will let you know how this goes.
Where else has had this released?
Who is still waiting?
What is the verdict, worthwhile keeping at stock or see what good ROMS will come from this?

Is that possible without root?
Official answer from the German support via email: There have been bugs in the release and the roll out has been stopped.

This is ridiculous. No more Lenovorola from me. Everyone's got Oreo and some phones from other brands have even gone to Pie, but reteu is still behind. Tragic support compared to when it was owned by Google (my XT1032 got updated before the Nexus phones of the time).

Yeah. This is oddly funny. I said no more Motorola after the Atrix fiasco (Android 2.3...... ICS was never released, they promised it... and then the Testing image got leaked.....)
Yet, I've owned another Moto phone, which won't have Android 8.1. But this phone is still good with Nougat. Can't complain.
Got a Nexus 5x from google. New. Turns out it had a hardware failure on all models just a year after the release.
Got a Nexus 4. After a year of usage, just upgraded to Lollipop. Phone started rebooting on its own randomly. Some users have this issue as well.
I don't believe on the manufacturers anymore. My next phone will be a Nokia (and I'll fail for sure)

The Lenovo forums for the 5GS and the 5GS+ are full of VERY annoyed reports on WiFi loss problems after upgrading to 8.1 - so far, these obviously all relate to non-RETEU update channels. Lenovo apparently never officially reacted to these complaints, but several people there seem to have dumped their 5GS/+ phones after the update out of frustration.
So, do those of you who already have updated to 8.1 see any problems with WiFi connections dropping (while connected to a 4G network)? The 'cure' for that seemed to be to disable 4G connections...
What with battery life after the update?
Thanks! Markus68
Can not test this for you, because I have no 4G Network, only 3G.

No, we need to wait for the U1 update to be released witch has typically been the last to be released. I believe these are the U versions being referred to here. Also everything new on Sammobile is the U so far. It shouldn't much longer for us.

I ended up using the firmware.science to update to pie. That bumped me up to December update automatically on pie. I also get to keep the Unlocked firmware without any bloatware and the rom is rocksolid stable.

After reading from users how the pie update takes away functionality and is full of bugs, I'm fine with them delaying the rollout.

Sprint Software Update Once Boot Loader is Unlocked

Once you unlock the boot loader and put US Cellular PIE on the Sprint phone, how do you update the software when security patches come out?
