Warum findet mein Telefon kein Update?
Das Update wird in der Regel erst nach 21h freigeschaltet.

Warum dauert das Update so lange?
Das Pixel hat zwei Partitionen, das Betriebssystem ist quasi doppelt im Speicher.
Wenn ein Update kommt, wird es auf die nicht verwendete Version aufgespielt.
Anschließend werden Apps/Einstellungen von der aktiven Version mit der bislang nicht verwendeten abgeglichen.
Schließlich wird der Cache aller Apps zurückgesetzt (Optimierung).
Wenn das alles erledigt ist, wird man zum Neustart aufgefordert.
Dabei wird dann auf die bislang nicht verwendete Version mit erfolgtem Update umgeschaltet.

Damit man das Telefon währenddessen weiter nutzen kann, passiert das alles im Hintergrund mit niedriger Priorität.
Deshalb dauert es, und deshalb ist es egal, ob das Update nur ein kB oder mehrere MB groß ist.
Denn nicht die Änderung dauert, sondern das danach.

Der Vorteil ist, läuft beim Update etwas schief, kann auf die Version vor dem Update umgeschaltet werden.

Tipp: Wenn ein Update kommt, Abends ans Netzteil, Update starten und am nächsten Morgen neu starten.

Warum ist der Google Play Sicherheitsstand nicht aktuell?
Das Google-Play-Systemupdate ist unabhängig vom monatlichen Pixel-Sicherheitsupdate.
Es ist also durchaus normal, wenn der Google Play Sicherheitsstand älter ist!

Feature Drop-Details:

New software features have arrived to the Pixel family
Announcement
Your Pixel devices get a boost of helpfulness with Feature Drops *[1]. They’re automatic software updates that send new and upgraded features to your phone, earbuds, and watch, making them even better as time goes on. With the latest feature drop, your Pixel phone now has clearer incoming calls *[2], next-level audio with Pixel Buds Pro *[3], speaker labels on recordings *[4], a VPN by Google One for online protection *[5], and more. And it all happens over the air, so you get that new-device feeling without needing to get anything new.

The latest features will begin rolling out to Pixel devices starting on December 5, with rollout continuing over the next few weeks. Be sure to update to the latest Android version and update your Android apps, then look out for a notification from the Pixel Tips app to learn more about all of the ways your Pixel just got more helpful.

Hear voices clearly.
Pixel enhances the other caller’s voice and reduces their background noise to help you hear them when they’re in a noisy place *[2].

Surround yourself with sound (coming January 2023).
Feel like you’re at the center of the action in your favorite movies and shows. When paired with Pixel Buds Pro, your Pixel supports spatial audio with head tracking for immersive surround sound all around *[3].

Note taking just got easier.
Pixel helps you keep track of who said what in meetings and lectures with more than one participant. It transcribes recordings of multiple speakers by labeling each one and adding line breaks when speakers change *[4].

Extra protection when you’re online.
With VPN by Google One, Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro help protect your online activity no matter what app or web browser you use. With no added cost to you *[5].

Wallpaper that wows.
Bring your Pixel screen to life with the new Live Bloom wallpaper collection. Explore the latest set of custom designs featuring vibrant images that shift and sway when your phone moves *[6].

New cultural wallpapers.
Keep your Pixel screens culturally relevant with the latest Curated Culture wallpapers. This new installment, illustrated by Morgan Harper Nichols, celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Morgan is an artist, poet, podcaster, and author whose work is inspired by real-life interactions and stories.

Find it. Fast.
Bring the power of Google Search to your Pixel to search your entire phone and the web, so you can quickly find what you’re looking for – a contact, app, screenshot, setting, and more. Now available for Pixel 4a and later.

Security and privacy, simplified.
Now Pixel makes it easier to protect your phone, accounts, and passwords by having all your security and privacy settings in one place. This includes new action cards that notify you of any safety risks and provide easy steps to enhance your privacy and security.

More ways to lift language barriers.
Live Translate can now translate texts in your messaging apps into more languages, including Arabic, Persian, Swedish, Vietnamese, and Danish *[7].

Understand how you sleep.
Pixel can help you understand what affects your sleep, like coughing, snoring, or how much you’re on your phone at bedtime *[8], now available for Pixel 6 & Pixel 6 Pro.

Get smarter about your sleep.
Gain a better understanding of your sleep quality with helpful insights from Sleep Profile on Pixel Watch *[9]. It looks beyond your nightly sleep patterns and tracks your habits and trends over a month-long period. You’ll get a sleep analysis based on 10 key metrics, be matched with one of six sleep animals representing distinct sleeper types, and receive education and personalized metric ranges so you can understand what to focus on to get better rest.

Hab das OTA versucht zu flashen, wird abgelehnt mit der Begründung, dass die QPR Beta neuer sei, obwohl die noch den November Patch hat

Dieses Update ist nicht für die Beta - dafür gibt es dann eigene Updates.

 

[MoervYO]

@schinge Diese Version sollte aber jetzt für alle kommen, damit man aus der Beta raus kann. Die QPR1 Beta ist ja jetzt vorbei.

 

[2WF]

Glaube er wollte ohne Datenverlust zur stable wechseln

 

[iceman19761]

Denke ich auch.
Mache es lieber per OTA

 

[MoervYO]

@2WF Ja genau, aber das geht nicht, weil der Build angeblich älter sei als die QPR Beta von Anfang November…

 

[kriscross]

Update ist da 471 mb

 

[ratzemoedl]

Gerade per OTA reingekommen

 

[Starwalker]

Auch gerade gesehen. Dann bin ich mal gespannt...

 

[sj00]

Wow, 471MB
und 512MB fürs P6P...

 

[iron-maaasel]

Das ist ja Mal nen dickes Ding

 

[Fenerli96]

Seid ihr Beta Nutzer?

 

[iron-maaasel]

@Fenerli96 nein, Samstag erst bekommen das 7er... Und keine Beta. 471 MB

 

[Fenerli96]

@iron-maaasel hmm wahrscheinlich sind die Betaner später dran

 

[fearomoon]

Ja habe Beta und kommt nix...auch der VPN Quark nicht

 

[zaph]

VPN ist davon unabhängig, das war schon heute morgen (zumindest bei mir) verfügbar, bei anderen auch schon früher, vgl entsprechenden Thread. Aktiviert hatte ich es allerdings nicht.
