Was the Android 14 update recalled? (programming.dev)

I had downloaded it but never rebooted to update because I heard about some issues and decided to wait. Now it's saying I'm up to date with Android 13?

Wow no responses. Pixel 7 pro here.

Still on Android 14. Not recalled yet for me fyi

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't expect them to recall it from users who already installed (I think Android downgrades are tricky), but I only downloaded the update and never installed it (never rebooted for it)

Ditto [UK EE]

Haven't been allowed to download the November patches yet.

Yes the update most likely was withdrawn for people who had not yet installed it due to a significant issue affecting Pixel 6. You're missing absolutely nothing of value on Android 13 in the meantime

One issue I've had since updating is that people can't hear me on outgoing calls sometimes unless I reboot.

Strange thing is that the proximity sensor would also not disable the display during a call as it was set to.

It's not impossible. The update isn't set in stone until you reboot into the Android UI. Prior to reboot it can be discarded trivially. Post reboot but prior to starting up the Android UI, it can be rolled back.

yes would be easy for them to do, I just don't think I've seen Google do this before

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It would be interesting to see if it's an actual cloud-controlled recall feature or whether it's something simpler like timed expiry of an installed but not activated update. Haven't dug into update_engine for that. Could also be in the upper updater layer, outside of update_engine.

Funny to see that GrapheneOS on Pixels is more up-to-date than Android on Pixels

I've downloaded the update but I have not yet rebooted. Does anyone know how to delete the update package? I'm afraid I'll end up having to reboot at some point because of a crash or running out of battery. Pixel 5a

I primarily flash from factory images because I'm rooted and it's a pain. They still have the Android 14 images up from October to November.

Same issue occured with me. Downloaded 14 but never got around to install. Just checked and I'm "up to date" on Android 13. Pixel 6 Pro.
