Got it, I think it at the range of my WiFi so they actual file never fully downloaded. All good now.
Happy to help test the update!

Installed successfully, I’ll reply back with my experience
So far battery life is much better, only a few percents lost since install. More to come later tonight/tomorrow. Thanks

Since no one has screamed so far 
- we could take more beta testers.

Hey everyone,
Note* for anyone else don’t put it on your SD card or it will cause a looping issue of the phone restarting the update over and over. That is what was causing the “Installing System Update” screen to blink on and off and make no progress. If you do test the update move the zip folder to internal storage on the phone itself.
Update*
2/19/20
So far so good I updated and tried out my alarms and they seem to be working as intended no blinking or the screen going on and off like before. Going to see how it goes with the update. No headaches as of yet.

So far all is good. The battery drain appears to be gone. I was able to set up face unlock and it seems to be working. Since I am at home I did turn off trusted places and all that and the phone seems to unlock when looking at me, then require pin/fingerprint if not pointed at my face. Nice work!

A bonus- Lawnfeed on my Lawnchair launcher was not working before the update, now it is!
Agreed, battery life does seem much better. Haven’t seen the random freeze/locking up issues where the phone was unusable for short periods of time. Phone restarts right away after tapping the restart button instead of fighting with it 4 or 5 times. Will update with more info as I use more.
I have one of ours set up with the update and will test it against one that doesn’t have it. I’ll report back with results.

a smooth update on my phone!
I did notice that the on-phone instructions for the local update said to click “Update now” but the button was labeled “Install now”
(*with me you get the TINY picky things too like typos)
Also, I believe I needed to push the power button to restart the phone after clicking that button (or else it coincidentally rebooted when I got impatient)
Despite the warning that my data might be cleared by an update, this acted AS AN UPDATE SHOULD and did not reset the phone.

I seem to have lost root with the beta update.
Magisk Manager reports that Magisk itself is not installed (and no “Direct Install” option)
Titanium Backup says that it does not have root.
I’d love to test the beta as well!
Update went smoothly. My custom wall paper had to be reset, as it no longer scrolled across all the screens … minor issue. I thought the battery lasted longer before … it is discharging even slower now this could last a long time at this rate. Only lost 5% and have been browsing and surfing the web facebook and Flipboard one YouTube video for about 2hr so that’s amazing as I wanted to see the battery life. Had an issue with cut and paste in Firefox one time not sure if that’s app related or not. Closed the app and opened again and was all good hasn’t happened again. The hickups with the finger touch sensor seem to be gone and photo’s still seem to be great. I turned on the Mid beauty mode on my camera as seems to do a great job but doesn’t seem to stay on and needs to be set each time…? But even with out still looks great! Selfie (front) camera works great but I made sure the anti-shake was on. Same as before for me as tested shortly after got phone still very happy with quality of pictures. Sound is still louder and clearer than any phone I have had. Speed is still fast. Not sure how to judge if it’s any faster as my phone was already a lot faster than my pixel XL. Will test the Bluetooth with auto connecting to my car stereo I noted yesterday and today I had to manually make it connect each time. And didn’t auto connect. Now with update will see if any change.
If there is any specific tests you would like me to try to see if it causes specific problems noted in the past please let me know so I may better help with the beta testing.

Tried to reinstall the science news online app. Still doesn’t like this version of Android keeps closing and restarting in the background. But it was for an older version of Android and no longer supported it seems worked on the pixel but each phone has its own personalities I have discovered no matter how much they should be the same.

Happy to beta test if it’s still needed.
Count me in for testing too if you’re still needing more testers. This horrible battery life is a drag.
Charging seemed slow this morning. I woke to 90% battery (which is great as I charged when I did the update yesterday). It took over 30 minutes to charge that last 10%. That appears slower than before the update but that could just be my “watching the clock” I will have a better sense after a full charge tomorrow.
Hopefully others can look at their charging and report in.
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I would say continue to use regular apps (social media, etc), calls, etc. Bluetooth testing will be helpful as well.
So far the response as been good. We are considering making the update widely available on forum before sending it out as an OTA update.
