Google has released their first update for Android 9.0 Pie. System image files as well as over the air (OTA) updates for Pixel smartphones are out there and fix a number of issues with the original software release.
Google has rectified a number of issues in these builds. These include:
- A fix for issues with Bluetooth car audio fix
- Improvement in battery charge for retail mode
- Improved software version reporting
- A stack of security and vulnerability updates
A big with quick charging hasn't been addressed.
If you want to get your hands on the factory images for Pixel devices, you can head over to the Android download page . Installing a full image will wipe all your device's data so make sure you have a backup unless you're prepared to rebuild your device with a clean slate.
