The message users are getting after trying to install Android 8.1
Some users who went ahead with the installation of the downloaded OTA update reported failure in completion of the installation after which the phone reverted back to Android 8.0.
The good news is that Google has confirmed that an OTA update has been issued which fixes the Android 8.1 Oreo OTA installation problems. In a post on the Google product forum, the Google Community Manager of the Pixel User Community has stated the following:
"This issue has been resolved. For those of you that faced the issue and were reverted back to 8.0, you will be offered a new OTA (which is rolling out now). Thanks to all of those that sent up reports, and helped us get to the bottom of this."
Users participating in the Google Beta program who have earlier been reverted back to Android 8.0 following a failure in the installation process should be receiving another notification for a new OTA update. According to Google, it should now be a straightforward task for users to install the OTA beta update on their compatible smartphones.
At this time users who want to install the OTA beta update can do so by enrolling in the Android beta program or alternately manually flashing the full factory images onto an unlocked bootloader. The points to be noted here are that this method of manual flashing requires an unlocked bootloader and also that users would simultaneously lose the assurance of OTA updates for future beta builds.
Our take is that this latest solution by Google to solve the teething issues faced by the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL should temper the disappointment of disheartened users. The company will be relieved to tick off one of the stacked problems that have plagued the tech giant in the recent few weeks surrounding the release of its latest flagship smartphones.
The service provider AT&T has started sending a new update to its laster years S series flagship devices. The Galaxy S7 along with the Galaxy S7 Edge are getting new updates with a version G930AUCS4BQJ2 and G935AUCS4BQJ2 respectively which also includes security patch for the month of October. These updates will also bring few bug fixes and also the BlueBorne vulnerability which allows attackers to control the smartphone via Bluetooth even if it is not in discoverable mode.
The rollout is heading to your device via OTA (Over the Air) and if you have not received it yet, you can always head to the settings of the device and check for the update manually. If the update is available, you need to download it before installing. Make sure that you back up your data and the charge on the device is more than 50 percent before you start the installation process. The size of the update is 135MB which is small compared to other updates.
Coming to the Galaxy S7, the came with a 5.1 inches display with Always-on-display and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection on top.
