Q Beta/Preview or 9.1 Release Imminent? - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Over the years I've noticed that just prior to a release of a Preview or incremental numeric progression, Google's apps undergo a flurry of updates. Seems like there's been a ton of updates to Google apps over the last week or so. Just speculating. Wanted to point it out. I think we're going to see one or the other on the first March Monday or Wednesday. The first P Preview was released on March 7 (a Wednesday) last year.

You definitely have a point, all of a sudden almost all Google apps are getting updates. Let's see what we have in store for us.
Cheers

March is very likely. The last 3 previews have been released in March.

Allegedly Android Q supports it.

I'm guessing it'll drop along with the March Security update tomorrow.
Maybe.

If they did Nestlé KitKat, I'm sure they can do Nestlé Quik. Only thing is it better actually be quick. [emoji1]

I hope we get full or part dark mode or something at least with this update

So we missed the Monday prediction. What should we bet on now?

...probably Wednesday, if at all this week (hope I am wrong).
Doubt it'll hit before next week though.

Eric Schmidt has even started his speech yet, has he?
He has started it. You can watch it live; http://www.web2summit.com/web2010/public/content/livestream
I don't think Gingerbread is going to be shown off at the Summit. When he started his talk he had a Nexus S with him and gave a preview of some chip technology which allows products to be purchased with a phone.
They've moved away from talking about Android and he said Gingerbread is going to be released in the next few weeks.
EDIT: You can read about the chip technology here; http://goo.gl/O1QPV

Nope, the first email they sent out had the wrong time in it, the work is happening from from 10PM to 4AM PST.
They sent out another (3rd) email a while ago reminding devs about the work, hope some amazing goodies come out of it.

Took my information out of this post by "teknoraver" from the thread about the announcement of Eric Smith:
I have received this email from google, maybe thursday is really the G-day
"We plan to perform maintenance on the Android Market Developer Console starting at 10PM on THURSDAY 18 November and ending by 4AM FRIDAY 19 November 2010, Pacific Standard Time."

Link is screwed up for me. If I click it, I was getting redirected back to an invalid XDA thread. I had to copy link and paste it into my browser for it to work.

Microsoft's presence starting to show on latest CyanogenMod nightly.

In the latest nightly (1st Apr) of CM 12 the presence of Microsoft can be seen. The home screen icon is changed to Microsoft Windows logo and when the Android upgrades you see the 'Poweres by Microsoft' message.
Maybe all this is for good. What's your opinion?
It's only a joke that's already being discussed here:

OK so the logo and Microsoft text appear - no one debates that but given its April Fools day I wouldn't expect to see those things in the next nightly

There was an unfinished leak for the T-mobile version of 5.1.1 but nothing for 925F yet,
if you follow the link on the right side of what you have posted, the story attached to that was posted on April 15th and it says to expect it Q3 2015, so I think this just means that they know its being built by Samsung and is all speculation (although I think it will be out within the next month, fingers crossed)

Not quite. It will be announced and come out somewhere between September to November or whenever a new Nexus is released!
Hope the update sorts out the ram use as mines always up to 88% plus, some people say its the memory leak with lollipop but my nexus 6 running 5.1.1 uses about 31% when on home screen not sure why my edge uses so much even thou its got the same apps running as my N6....

Memory leak is fixed on 5.1.1, that's why there's so much diffetence, since it runs 5.0.2.

I see it for player. I hope it improves the google casting on the player. As it is, the player is not as good as the chromecast when it comes to just straight up google casting.
Hopefully we can get 7.0 for shamu by the end of the day!
Still notting..also no factory image for the 6p and 5x
Maybe google stopped thinking they have done enough for one day

One image at a time, factory images are usually rolled out over quite a few hours. Just started about an hour ago.

Based on posts on xda nexus 6p forum, it looks like elemental X Dev preview 5 kernel works with official N update. So we may be able to get by with DP5 kernels until they are officially updated!

Not really.... for the last few months all factory images and OTAs have been posted at the same time.
I'm just practicing my patience lol
They're probably uploading the largest image sizes first hence why the pixel c, Nexus player, and Nexus 9 have already received it. Nexus 6 will most likely be last if they use this logic

I just spoke with a Google rep over live chat and asked about the factory image being posted for the Shamu. Well...... Like all live chat reps do, they beat around the bush like crazy, tell you modified Android can't be supported because they can't guarantee stability (even though this wasn't the topic at all!) And then told me the update will come as OTA (which we already knew!) And then after asking the same question enough times, he gives me a link to the factory images (which again, we all know about!) So I just ended the chat. No answers to be had lol

This doesn't work for all nexus. Only working on the 5x and 6p AFAIK.
I dont think we will see factory img till they start to push out the OTA and i have a feeling the OTA wont go out till next week. but i hope i am wrong.
