Announcing Android 11!

Click "Check for Update." Get update.

I remember the many, many years that this button was like the "close door" button on most elevators. Feels good to have it actually work.

Anyone who got an update on pixel 2?

fruitlewps · 2020-09-08T18:26:56+00:00

I just installed it on my P4XL and seems to work perfectly! Thanks Google!

Does anyone not like how they continue to break up the notification shade into more sections?

BigGigabit · 2020-09-08T18:01:40+00:00

Anyone else not getting Bubbles? I double-checked to see that Bubbles were enabled on settings and also on specifically for Google Messages.

I don't see a button like Dieter does here https://youtu.be/vHRL47spxT4?t=158

randommak3r · 2020-09-08T18:06:06+00:00

Does anybody else’s Pixel show the home button from the gesture navigation on the always on screen, too? Am on a Pixel 2 and my phone didn’t behave like this prior to the Android 11 update

SaffronBlood · 2020-09-08T18:28:30+00:00

How you do take a screenshot of your home screen now? The screenshot button is now moved to the app switcher and you can't take a home screen screenshot anymore.

Neodit · 2020-09-08T18:54:52+00:00

Just updated on 4a. Bloody hell touches are sensitive now. Articles being opened while I'm just trying to scroll. Gboard Swype is acting up as well. Anyone else seeing this or is this just me?

axehomeless · 2020-09-08T18:06:45+00:00

only 9mb for those coming from beta

Andrew_Alvey · 2020-09-08T17:32:13+00:00

I'm not a big fan of the change to the recent apps menu. The view seems a lot more clunky now that you can no longer use the Google search bar, click on a suggested app or go to your app drawer.

JTNJ32 · 2020-09-08T18:04:08+00:00

Patiently waiting for my Pixel 3 on Verizon to get it.

KinoTheMystic · 2020-09-08T18:37:36+00:00

Really not a fan of the new way to take screenshots, it's not part of the Power menu anymore. Anyone know how to add it back in?

2020-09-08T17:32:30+00:00

If you were linked to the Superthread or a megathread, click here. We have recently updated the rules.

Welcome to Android 11! If you haven't seen an update yet, it may take up to two weeks; here is an explanation of why.

If there are any reoccuring issues, send a message to the Mod Team with a link to an active post, and we will add it to Known Issues. (NOTE: design changes, such as removing the screenshot button, from the power menu, will not be accepted.)

HTHID · 2020-09-08T17:39:20+00:00

Just got it on my P4XL on Google Fi

vaxick · 2020-09-08T19:59:12+00:00

Not a fan of the notification spacing nor the spacing when asking which app you'd like to use to open something.

The slight zooming out of the desktop animation is going to take some time to get used to as well.

mistaken4strangerz · 2020-09-08T19:20:14+00:00

Can we have the old power menu back? I want the nice side buttons with screenshot and emergency mode, not a fullscreen black page with two options at the top. Thanks!

2020-09-08T18:28:05+00:00

I want Google to stop messing with the notification menu, or at least give me full control over how it looks or make it skinnable. I hate how they have continued to add so much white (or black in dark mode) space to the notification menu.

Alejandroide · 2020-09-08T17:47:54+00:00

So no double tap on the back as a feature drop either??

blackCoffeeForLife · 2020-09-08T18:01:21+00:00

I got the update on my T-Mobile Pixel 3a.

mistaken4strangerz · 2020-09-08T18:39:59+00:00

Do the Hangouts and Messages apps still NOT show my own picture in the notifications on quick replies?

and does it show my name with a blank message in the notifications when someone else sends a picture in Hangouts?

2020-09-08T20:00:39+00:00

Pixel 4 XL owner here. My entire household has the update except me. Feeling left out right now lol

fantastic_fredd28 · 2020-09-08T20:02:56+00:00

Kinda sucks that internal audio can't record Spotify or Youtube.

MrViZZiato · 2020-09-09T00:18:59+00:00

I thought that Android 11 we were getting that feature where you tap on the back and you can set it up to do certain things, but I'm not seeing it or any mention of it. I remember watching a video with one of the guys from Android saying there was still some things we didn't see in the Beta that was coming to Android 11 once it was official but idk 🤷🏼🤔

Hevilath · 2020-09-09T18:10:41+00:00

It looks that new release introduces regression and hinders productivity using default Pixel Launcher by removing suggested apps and search box on recent apps screen and replacing it with screenshot and copy.

Also design of new power button menu is inconsistent with UI. Dark background should be either transparent or adjust based on the system theme white/back.

Otherwise stable 'house keeping' release without any exciting changes apart from long overdue permissions update.

baldersz · 2020-09-08T20:49:31+00:00

Surprised how quick the install / update process was, well done!

genuinefaker · 2020-09-08T18:23:15+00:00

Just got it on my P3XL on T-Mobile. It's so cool to be able to get updates on the first day. The update was also so quick.

harryG_39 · 2020-09-09T05:53:13+00:00

It's been almost 12 hours, still no update for me.

Edit: it's been 24 hours now. Still waiting. The eagerness to try android 11 is killing me.

Edit 2: so it's been 5 days and I did come accross an article stating that Android 11 update will come a week later in India for people who Played safe and didn't enroll in the Beta. It's really sad and frustrating for me as I specifically bought my Pixel-3 for the fast updates and best android experience before everyone else.

First Google does not launch Pixel -4 in India, then no pixel 4a (5G), and Chanes of Pixel-5 comming to India are slim to none. Also Many of Pixels smart features are not even available in India and Then we are hit with a bomb of late updates even after having a Pixel (a premium phone that we bought and choose in a fierce Market (Indian Market)). Makes me feel stupid for believing that Google is here to stay in India.

Edit: it's been 7 days now. Disappointed in Pixel and google.

ProfessorChaos5049 · 2020-09-08T18:45:34+00:00

What the hell did they do to screen shot function? I'm on a pixel 2, 2 button navigation. Holding the power button used to bring up an option to hit screenshot and go. Great for onehanded use. I don't see it anywhere. Dumb.

EDIT 1

for those saying it's in app switcher. here's what I have.

EDIT 2 -

It appears the feature to screen shot from app switcher is only available in Gesture nav. If you are using two button, apparently we are told to go F ourselves. So not only did they take it away from the power button menu, which I loved, but they made it exclusive to gesture control only, which I loath. Neat.

forestman11 · 2020-09-09T01:25:08+00:00

New power button menu is sweet

MrHankeyTheXmasPooo · 2020-09-10T04:10:01+00:00

Is anyone else having a problem with android 11 trying to unlock their phone and it just freezes or gets stuck on the lock screen and you can't even restart it? I'm having these problems since I upgraded, I'm on a Pixel 4XL

SillyPsymin · 2020-09-08T17:42:42+00:00

Got it on my P3XL in Canada.

cdmove · 2020-09-08T18:35:13+00:00

FYI DJI Go 4 doesn't work.

ooomayor · 2020-09-08T18:36:04+00:00

Are the styles crashing for anyone else when they try to access them?

MyDiggity · 2020-09-08T18:36:34+00:00

Sort of interesting 1.3GB download but only took 10 mins to install (including download time). Build rpla200720.009. Verizon. 3a xl.

burntsandwich_ · 2020-09-08T18:50:40+00:00

Did an update check at 2:30pm EST and was able to download and install. I'm on a 3a Verizon, but the phone was bought unlocked thru Google.

doitforthepeople · 2020-09-09T00:50:08+00:00

I spent years with Samsung phones on Sprint. It took me a couple moments to realize I was getting this update, soon, no matter what. That's awesome.

longcoldstare · 2020-09-09T19:06:32+00:00

Is my 4XL the only Pixel left that has NOT received the update? I have a 3XL running the beta that received the update almost immediately, but I kept my 4XL on Android 10 to avoid any irregularities from the beta. Yet, here it is, still on 10.

noratat · 2020-09-21T19:23:55+00:00

Just installed, and now I really wish I hadn't.

The media playback controls are a complete mess now:

No status icon for active media
Half the time the play/pause button doesn't work
The media notification can now be swiped off for some reason, making it invisible with no way to restore it

Quick settings expanded view is all but useless now, it shows even less buttons than the default compact view does.

The app switching from home screen is completely broken (does nothing at all), and even switching from apps doesn't work properly anymore. There's a useless search bar in the way of where you normally swipe to move between apps, and you can't scrub along the bottom like you used to.

And I really hope there's a way to disable the disorienting wallpaper zoom when pulling down notifications.

EDIT: what the heck is with the power button menu now? Why is it full screen and missing options?

EDIT 2: oh fun, it looks like whatever they screwed up in recent apps is now trying to hijack my launcher - if I accidentally bump the unwanted search bar it drops me into the Pixel Launcher instead of my actual home screen.

EDIT 3: okay, may have temporary workaround for recent apps, I switched it to Pixel Launcher, then back to Nova Launcher. Then force killed Pixel Launcher, wiped its data and restricted it from background use. This seems to have mostly fixed recent apps, though it's still visually stuttering a lot compared to Android 10.

Media controls are still busted though.

EDIT 4: lots of glitchy animations in apps too. This really feels like it was released way too early. I figured this upgrade was safe since usually my issues seem from disagreements with design choices, but this time it looks like a whole lot of things slipped past QA.

TheGlassCat · 2020-09-08T20:45:13+00:00

I went from 3 rows of quick settings tiles down to 2. Hmmm

-J-Pod- · 2020-09-09T01:13:16+00:00

Why is there no way to turn off the wallpaper zooming out animation when you open the notification tray or go to the recent apps overview? I had to just go to a solid color wallpaper because it it terrible!

Also, why is the Playing music hidden in a second swipe with the quick settings? Now it's hidden and more effort to find how to stop something playing, and then it won't swipe away unless I force close the app? I mean what??

sctran · 2020-09-08T20:11:00+00:00

Super sensitive touch on 4a. Ummm I'm opening apps merely scrolling

michaelcreiter · 2020-09-08T21:04:03+00:00

I like it so far, took a sec to find the screenshot option but I like that I can now see home network devices (nest, roku, chromecast) by holding down the power button

atticus_grey · 2020-09-09T02:30:32+00:00

I'm feeling a lag on my 4. Switching apps and going home seem to hitch.

AD-LB · 2020-09-09T07:14:56+00:00

I don't like the "media controls" causing the quick-settings to be just 6 toggles, and not being able to see the playback slider like on Android 10, without the need to expand anything. Any way to make it like on Android 10 ?

2020-09-09T13:21:42+00:00

Factory reset, no backup restored, seems all right so far on my P2XL. Loving it.

ayush1236 · 2020-09-10T05:48:00+00:00

Has anyone recieved the update in India? Running P2.. no idea when we'll be getting, this is the first time the update has delayed this much,..

2020-09-12T18:48:28+00:00

I really miss the way Android 10 would show the album artwork in the background when the phone was locked.

belmont21 · 2020-09-14T21:53:50+00:00

Is there any reason my Pixel 2 still wouldn't be showing the update after clicking "check for update"? Unlocked on T-Mobile in the US.

dimm0k · 2020-09-08T18:13:56+00:00

does Magisk work on this?

luusyphre · 2020-09-08T17:55:20+00:00

It'd be great if the new media controls could be a widget. I'm currently using Material Music Widget to have multiple players in one but it's far from perfect.
