My BT was more stable this morning after updating. I generally drop the connection once or twice in a hour on the morning commute. Its still to early to make a call, but it looks good so far.

Anyone able to confirm whether the crackling audio issue is still present at high volume? I know people said it could be hardware related - but I don't think Google officially confirmed it was hardware related, so interesting to know if it is still there?

I was just thinking the same thing. I am a locked Verizon Pixel XL. I am wondering if having the stock Google software might allow for a bootloader vulnerability or allow me to turn on my wifi hotspot....;)

Sorry to hear, looks like you messed something up. Some further details would be helpful such as, full image, OTA, rooted, unlocked, Verizon or Google version, etc. Tried calling the company yet?

Were you rooted? Unlocked bootloader? Flashing from a custom ROM? TWRP?

I was on stock 7.1.1 and updated via OTA. No root and boot loader was locked.

Not sure if I had debugging on. Would in be able to reset via adb?

Yikes, that's what I'm on. I might un-enroll before they send it to me. As for adb I don't know what you can do other than what you already did, factory reset in recovery. You might want to call them or try a factory reset on more time.

Was on the phone with google and they didn't have a resolution. Said they would replace phone but with a refurb.

Going to try and see if adb works when I get home. Not sure it will since I didn't have debug on. Adb might not detect phone. Will update if I have any luck.

Got OTA Last night. Haven't noticed any difference better or worse.
I had signed up but opted out this afternoon. I really don't need it atm. Battery life lasts a full day and everything is snappy. I'll continue with the monthly OTA and wait for full release of 7.1.2 unless I get itchy again or if they post the OTA sideload links. I'm sure for most people it will be fine but with a locked bootloader I just can't take that chance.

tried to use adb/fastboot in bootloader to flash to stock 7.1.1 but wasn't able to get it to work because i hadn't allowed for OEM unlock in developer options. thought i was hosed and had to send in for an RMA. as it was plugged into computer, i let it bootloop a few times and after about 4x bootloop, it booted up normally. still getting random reboots though so going to flash back to stock 7.1.1.

I enrolled in the beta with my pixel xl a couple days ago. It's not terrible but a little buggy and unstable so I decided to unenroll. Problem is I'm still yet to get the OTA to revert back to stock 7.1.1. I unenrolled online, tried rebooting, factory resetting. Nothing worked. No "update" available. On beta website it shows my phone isn't enrolled but on the phone itself it says it is and it's running 7.1.2. I even tried side loading the factory 7.1.1 OTA but it won't allow me to install an older version. Phone is not rooted and bootloader is currently locked. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
