      @lakotaubp so you had installed 20.04 over 16.04 with no wipe and no bootstrap?

        @arubislander Needed bootstrap it would not do anything without that. As to why no idea. Everything was wiped to install 16.04. Lets see what the next update does.

            I don't see how to install 20.04. I'm running 16.04 on my Pixel 3a. I downloaded the latest installer from the usual place. The channel pulldown in the installer only has 16.04 choices. How do I get to the hidden choice for 20.04? Thanks!

            EDIT: never mind. I see the Settings menu in the installer, to allow hidden channels.

              Install went well. I have a lot of trouble with the USB connection to my Ubuntu 22.10 laptop, but after that, the install was a success. I couldn't get a login to OPEN-CUTS working, so I hope it was reported correctly from the installer.

                Hi
                I tried to update to version 392 just now and I ended up in recovery again. I am still on a pure 20.04 install.

                  @rondarius hmm mine installed that without a problem very odd. Not sure on that if a restart does not fixit I can only suggest the installer or wait till the next update and try that. Never found out why it was happening myself but still early days for 20.04.

                    @rondarius I also was able to upgrade without trouble. I did it about 7 hours ago.

                      I suspect that I am on a older version that somehow blocks the updater to peform as it should. I reinstall the phone tomorrow to see if the updater works after that. Happy Christmas to you all πŸŽ„

                        Hi
                        Before I reinstalled my phone, I tried to switch to rc channel, I ended up in recovery. After I reinstalled the phone the updater worked as it should because I could switch channel, from devel to rc. So a heads up to all of you that cannot update your phones, it ends up in recovery. you need to reinstall your phone, first to android and after that to the latest version, either devel or rc, to make the updater to work as it should.

                          Hi
                          Things that I have noticed since the latest RC update:
                          Initial setup from a clean install is working with multipule languages to choose from.
                          Pixel 3A RC-channel pure 20.04 install
                          Phonecalls is working in and out
                          Sms and mms is working in and out(check that mobiledata is activated and it still depends on which carrier you are using. I am lacking some settings to make incomming mms to work)
                          A lot more apps in the Openstore πŸ™‚
                          fingerprintreader works

                          Some bugs that I noticed:
                          The phone doesn't detect any networks over wifi during initial setup, it finds networks in settings after setup and it keeps the network after reboot.

                          If you change screenlock to 4 digit code it will change it to passphrase after reboot. It sticks after reboot when you go under settings and change it to 4 digit code again.

                          I don't know if this is a feature but when you try to login after a reboot using the fingerprintreader it will not work if you don't unlock the phone with the 4 digit code or passphrase first. Fingerprintreader works after that.

                          Edit 1
                          The Camera app is working, both photo and video with sound.
                          Bluetooth is working. I was able to connect a speaker model JBL GO 2.
                          You are able to output sound through speaker during phonecalls.

                          More to come.

                            @rondarius The fingerprint reader does that on 16.04 as well.

                                  This is the steps that I have done to reinstall Android:
                                  Install latest version of adb and fastboot on your pc.
                                  Install the ubports installer
                                  Download the android 9 factory version sargo-pq3b.190801.002 from here:
                                  https://developers.google.com/android/images#sargo
                                  Connect your phone to your pc
                                  In terminal run
                                  adb devices
                                  to check if everthing is working as it should, a serial number will show up after the server is started.
                                  In terminal run:
                                  adb reboot bootloader
                                  Extract the archive sargo-pq3b.190801.002
                                  Open the sargo folder, right click on an empty space and choose Open terminal here(or type the path manually in the terminal to the flash-all(dot)sh script)
                                  In the terminal run:
                                  fastboot devices
                                  to check that the phone is recognized by the pc, the same serial number will show up as the one that adb output
                                  In the terminal run
                                  sudo ./flash-all.sh
                                  enter your sudo code and it will take a moment to reinstall Android.
                                  After the phone reboots, enter developer mode and tick Usb debugging
                                  Once again run in terminal
                                  adb reboot bootloader
                                  When the phone enters the bootloader run the ubports installer and follow the steps.

                                    @lakotaubp and the behavior is by design. Same happens on Android if you have fingerprint reader enabled.
                                    There are plans to add iconography to make this more obvious to the user.

                                        The Camera app is working, both photo and video with sound. Switching back and front camea works.
                                        Bluetooth is working. I was able to connect a speaker model JBL GO 2.
                                        You are able to output sound through speaker during phonecalls.

                                        Bugs
                                        The OSK doesn't always show up in the messaging app and in the contact app, you have to reopen the app for the OSK to show up. This happens more often then on 16.04

                                        Sometimes you can't end an ongoing phonecall. It doesn't react to touch input at all. This happens more often then on 16.04

                                        Selfies from the front camera is mirrored in the Gallery app.

                                          My first note with focal in pixel 3a xl for two days is the ringing sound when accepting call disappeared completely
                                          If the sound of the phone is present, the sound of the call disappears, and vice versa, there is interference between.
                                          My daily use of the phone so I went back to xenial I hope the problem will be resolved in the next update

                                            Hi @kimo
                                            All of the things that you mention here works on my phone. What update channel are you on? Devel or RC? A pure install or upgrade from 16.04?
                                            I am on a pure install of 20.04 RC-channel
                                            Sound indicator works
                                            Sound during calls works, with or without the sound indicator.
                                            Flashlight works.
                                            Alarms works
                                            Loudspeaker during calls works.
                                            Sim works
