    The Android O preview for the Nexus 6P ended in 17 but I just got an update to that ending in 19... Anyone know what it does?

    Someone else here at Google IO just updated and their phone errored on install. Luckily they could hard reboot into the former version

    UPDATE: It errors for me, too... cannot install.

    I got an error and installed the factory images of the Android o beta 2 and I haven't got the update yet! Do you think I'll get it ?

    I had installed the O image the other day, and my phone successfully updated to .019 yesterday. I wonder if being on a clean install versus an OTA upgrade contributed to my success?

    At any rate, I've since discovered a downside to being on a clean install of O DP2: Some of the Google apps (namely the Google App and Google Maps) don't see updates in the Play Store and are stuck on older factory versions. Worse, trying to sideload newer versions of those apps (like to get the new keyboard input option for Assistant) fails. This seems to be because some of the system apps bundled with O were built with a pre-release SDK, which prevents them from being updated to release versions. The fix (unless/until Google pushes another OTA with fixed packages included) is to downgrade back to Nougat, update those apps, and then upgrade back to O via the OTA.
