Oh boy, Google released a few 7.1.2 factory images. Things are getting messier and messier…
Pixel
The Pixel and Pixel XL have a separate images for Deutsche Telekom phones, reasons for this are not told as usual and while this concept isn’t totally new (Europe/O2 in Dec 2016 and Jan 2017, Canada/Rogers Feb 2017 and Mar 2017) it is the first time for Deutsche Telekom. The Nexus 6P had these separate images only 3x with Verizon. The list for the nexus 6 on 5.1 is endless and on 7.0.0 they had two month of special AT&T factory images.
Why is there need for this separate images, the images are 1.3GB / 1.8 GB in size compressed. How can Deutsche Telekom have such different requirements for their network that it would require a total new image? Wouldn’t one image of 1.85GB be a better option for everyone?
Changelog
Today, and over the next few weeks, we will begin the rollout of Android 7.1.2 to Pixel and Pixel XL devices. This update contains a number of bug fixes, added features, and general performance/stability improvements. A few changes and updates that we want to highlight are listed below:
- Improved fingerprint swipe performance
- Bluetooth connectivity improvements
- Battery usage alerts
Some of the other fixes are with the early shutdown issue, a fix for the small number of users experiencing pink banding on the camera, and a fix to the audio popping issue some users were experiencing at high volumes.
Nexus 6 and Nexus 9
No 7.1.2 for you, Google released an April update with 7.1.1

Some of the other fixes are with the early shutdown issue, a fix for the small number of users experiencing pink banding on the camera, and a fix to the audio popping issue some users were experiencing at high volumes.
It is still unclear if the volume levels are fixed on the Nexus 9 since Dec 2016. This is really frustrating because the Nexus 9 has decent sound and can be used for speech and even music but not since they screwed up the audio.
