Last night Google posted the OTA files and factory images for supported Pixel and Nexus devices. This afternoon they have now added the changelog for the updates and there are a number of improvements and bug fixes.
Over at the Pixel user community the community manager has posted a small changelog for the Pixel and the Pixel XL.
Today, and over the next few weeks, we will begin the rollout of Android 7.1.2 to Pixel and Pixel XL devices. This update contains a number of bug fixes, added features, and general performance/stability improvements.
A few changes and updates that we want to highlight are listed below:
- Improved fingerprint swipe performance
- Bluetooth connectivity improvements
- Battery usage alerts
Some of the other fixes are with the early shutdown issue, a fix for the small number of users experiencing pink banding on the camera, and a fix to the audio popping issue some users were experiencing at high volumes.
Those are some serious bugs that they seem to have squashed. Hopefully they have.
The same manager is also the manager of the Nexus Help Forum where he posted regarding the update to relevant Nexus devices and the Pixel C:
Today, and over the next few weeks, we will begin the rollout of Android 7.1.2 to Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, and Pixel C. This update contains a number of bug fixes, added features, and general performance/stability improvements.
A few changes and updates that we want to highlight are listed below:
- Enhanced notification stability
- Fingerprint swipe on 5X/6P
- General connectivity improvements
- Battery usage alerts
Obviously we have seen some of these in the beta releases, including the fingerprint swipe on the Nexus 6P and 5X. For those already on a beta release they will receive this update as an OTA that flashes over the top of the beta image. For the impatient ones you can grab the OTA files or the full factory image and flash them yourself.
Have you received this OTA update or have you flashed it manually yourself? Does it fix any issues you had? How do you like the new improvements?
