This is where I find out my otherwise completely functioning Pixel 3a no longer gets security updates, as of May.
I knew and accepted that it wouldn't get new features and major android versions, but to not even get security updates, after only three years?
So my options are: live with the piece of technology in my life that is both the most vunerable to physical security issues and has the widest access to my critical information no longer getting active security updates, attempt to root it and install my own build (is cyanogenmod still a thing?), or throw a working piece of complex technology in the trash?
The most recent Pixels get a few extra years of only security updates after regular updates run out. So at least they have improved the policy somewhat now.
It would be great if Google went ahead and fixed this problem in particular for more devices, though.
Dunno whether you'll read this, but as a fellow 3a owner I just discovered that there is a September update image on the google website: https://developers.google.com/android/ota#sargo -- I guess maybe this will appear as an OTA update eventually? On the other hand it still doesn't have a fix for this bug, so the situation isn't really any different :-(
Can you tell me where to find release informationen for the Pixel 3/3a? I see that there's a new version from Nov 11 (only) for the 3 series but the most recent changelog is from Nov 10 (https://grapheneos.org/releases#2022111000) and I don't see any information there regarding the lock screen bug.

Amazing
