Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today the android 11 October security update is here
and this is the first security update since the launch of android 11. and so this is available
for all supported pixel devices starting with the pixel 2 and on up to the pixel 4a as well as
probably pixel 5 but they don't mention that anywhere maybe we'll see it launch with this
particular update and then many of you who are on Samsung devices will probably get the update
soon if not already and then the other devices it's up to your manufacturer so let me know in
the comments below if you've already received this now this particular update came in at 10.53
megabytes on my pixel 4 xl and again it can vary depending on which device you're using let's take
a look at the build number and then talk about what's new and this build is rp1a.201005.004.
you can't see the four here it's cut off but that's the build number and this update brings
quite a few improvements to sensors and the system ui and then as well as security updates so the
first thing is they improved sensors and i'll go over what devices are specifically affected by
what update now for the pixel 3 through 4a they've improved auto rotation on certain devices so if
you were having an issue with auto rotation when you were going to different applications
that should now be resolved they've also improved the sensor for auto brightness in certain lighting
conditions but that's specific to the pixel 4a not the 4xl or any of the other pixels
now as far as the system is concerned they fixed some devices that were stuck during boot this
covers all of the supported pixel devices and then also with the call ui maybe you're using do not
disturb or one of those sort of options so you're not getting a lot of calls however there was an
issue where you could inadvertently disable call notifications and so they fix that on all of the
pixel devices that are supported now going back to that auto rotate issue that i mentioned earlier
they've also improved an issue where the button for auto rotate may disappear
and they fix that on all supported pixel devices and then again with the system ui they've fixed
undetected overview swipe gestures in the launcher so maybe you're having touch responsiveness issues
or maybe swipe gestures from left to right and they're just not working right they should have
fixed this in this particular update again for all supported pixel devices and then finally
if you're using a screen protector on a pixel 4a they've improved touch sensitivity if you're
using that and so if you were having touch responsiveness issues on your new pixel 4a it
should fix those issues so that's it for all of the improvements or features in this particular
update now there was a pixel feature drop a couple weeks ago with the launch of android 11
that gave augmented reality views in google maps and a couple prioritized features such as app
suggestions and things like that other than that though there's not a whole lot in this particular
update however with the launch of the pixel 5 google announced that there's new features coming
to these devices as well so to older devices such as if you didn't see it when you're making a phone
call maybe someone puts you on hold your phone can take over the hold so you don't have to wait there
listening to it and then let you know when someone is off of hold or they've taken you off of hold so
that you can pick up your phone and continue your conversation and so those sorts of features are
coming soon of course once that's in an update i'll be sure to keep you posted about that now
as far as security updates well there's quite a few in this one and it covers all devices not just
pixel devices and the first one is there's one android runtime update there's five five
framework updates four media framework updates ten system updates two google play system updates
one kernel update there's five media component fixes four qualcomm component fixes as well as
18 qualcomm closed source component fixes and all of those things have been repaired with
this particular update and should leave your device much more secure even though it wasn't
that insecure before so it should be a nice little update it's a very small update installed nice and
quickly and so far things are nice and fast of course it's going to take a few days to know
for sure how it's going to respond everything in general seems to be working great though and this
is my secondary phone so i carry with this with me everywhere and use it regularly so it should
be nice and fast no issues i really didn't have any issues on the previous September update or
android 11 but this should improve anything you were having issues with especially that
touch responsiveness with the pixel 4a or some devices with swipe gestures and things like that
now if you've found anything specific that i haven't mentioned i'd love to hear from you in
the comments below and help us figure out what's new in this if they didn't tell us about it and
