The December update that Google pushed out this week to all of its still-supported Pixel phones is a big one. It\u2019s a quarterly release that aims to address a massive list of items, bringing with it bug fixes and improvements to almost every area of the a Pixel phone. If you own a Pixel 4a up through the Pixel 7, your update is pretty meaningful.<\/p>\n

Since most\u00a0<\/em>of you should have it by now, we\u2019re curious how things have been going? In the list of 77 bug fixes and improvements<\/a>, did Google touch on any lingering issues you\u2019ve had since the last major update, that being Android 13? Is your Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro running better than ever? How\u2019s your Pixel 6 fingerprint reader (lol)? Pixel 5 legends, is your phone still as amazing as ever? What\u2019s up Pixel 4a, homies?<\/p>\n

As someone who has been beta testing this Android 13 QPR1 and only received a 6MB update this week to get me on stable, instead of the 400MB+ update the rest of the world got, I can\u2019t tell you much of what I think. This version of Android is all I\u2019ve known since September<\/a> for the most part.<\/p>\n

Well, I guess I can tell you that other than the tap-to-wake still being bugged (was supposed to be fixed) and network drops being frequent, the rest is mostly good. Actually, since receiving my 6MB update to stable QPR1, I haven\u2019t had a network drop or noticed as much of an issue with tap-to-wake. Weird.<\/p>\n

For those who still haven\u2019t seen the update, have you checked today? We have instructions here on how to check for updates<\/a> and manually flash an OTA file that won\u2019t factory reset your phone. Beta folks, your update should have already arrived too.<\/p>\n

Let us know.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
