If you copy any of this page, please refer back to this post, thanks.
I'm writing at the top here to say a few people have been misquoting my thread. Headings are now colour coded for your pleasure, to make it more clearly marked.
The top section shows unofficial (and now official too) ACTUAL CHANGES that people have reported fixed, etc. and from my own extensive testing, in the various FOTA updates already released by Asus. (Screenshots of most these builds at the bottom of the first two posts)
In the bottom section (now located in Post #2) is a list of bugs that need/needed fixing in the ICS and honeycomb builds of android respectively.
*For users who have rooted and have CWMRecovery, these firmware updates will FAIL when you try to install. You will have to un-root your device or wait for a safe flashable file to become available. Rooting voids your warranty.*
N.B. This list is primarily based on the Wifi only models. Your tablet/dock may come with an outdated/updated version of the firmware. These changelogs are based on the revisions shown in the screenshots posted below. Now that the TF is available in more countries, the FOTA updates (as of 26th April 2011) are more country dependant. So, if you post with information to be added to the changelog, please specify as many details you feel are relevant, including if you are fully stock or running a rooted device, along with the country you are from and SKU.
(If you have ANY problem after an update, use the 10-12sec force power off trick to try a fix. If that doesn't help, back up everything you want to keep and do a full factory reset, settings>privacy>factory data reset.)
________________________________
General Info:
The FOTA (firmware over the air) updates will be 'pushed' (sent) to your device when a new version is made available by Asus, as long as your wifi is on at the time.
If your wifi wasn't on at the time, your device will be made aware of the update the next time you switch it on.
If you know there has been an update released, and your device has not detected it yet, you can force an update check, via Settings>About Tablet>System Update. You may need to repeat this a couple of times to get the file to start downloading.
Once your device knows of the update it will automatically download it in the background and then display a notification on the bottom bar near the clock. Click it to start the update.
If you have to manually update your firmware for some reason, the files are usually available from the Asus website THIS LINK or THIS LINK or via the Asus FTP server HERE. (If those links don't work for you then just go to your country specific Asus page and download from there). It takes a while (several weeks after an official FOTA update is pushed out) for Asus to upload the latest updates to their servers so be patient. Old 8.2.3.9 files are HERE (or you may need 8.4.4.5) if you need to downgrade to root.
-Select Download>Android. Download the correct version for your device. (see below for SKU version info)
-Then read the user guide file (PDF) attached to the bottom of this post. It tells you everything about manually updating.
The SKU versions on the asus firmware page, are as follows:
US = USA
CN = China
TW = Taiwan
WW = Worldwide (for any other device that doesn't have a specific country SKU, e.g. the UK)
DE = Germany
TB = Belgium, Turkey, Luxembourg
JP = Japan
**(any firmware updates after 9.2.1.17 for current DE and TB users requires the 'special' update file available from the Asus website. This will enable those devices to upgrade to the latest WW sku updates when they are pushed out.)**
...make sure you get the correct version for your device (Check your build number and SKU in Settings>About tablet).
Things to know before you update:
It usually takes up to 10minutes to update your device (may take as little as 4minutes or a lot longer if you have encrypted your files).
If your device is already rooted, WITHOUT recovery installed, the update will remove root. If rooted WITH recovery installed, the update will fail.
You must have at least 50% battery charge before clicking the update button. Having it plugged into the mains is optional, however it is recommended (by asus) if you are updating from a microsd card.
Settings/files should be kept as is, but this isnt guaranteed. I didn't need to do a backup, but I recommend people do anyway just to be safe.
Do NOT touch your device while it updates.
Your device should automatically restart itself once finished updating.
Updating the dock can be done at a later date if your tablet was not plugged into the dock when you received the update. When you plug in the dock you will get another update notification. Click it to continue.
The dock update can take anything from 30seconds - 2minutes. Be patient and don't touch it while it's updating. The caps lock led will flash while it updates. A small message appears onscreen once it's finished, and you can then use it normally.
*I highly recommend you power down your tablet after this process is complete, then power it back up again, to check to see that the update has applied correctly in the system settings. If you get anything strange happening to your device after an update, and no one else seems to have the same problem, do a factory reset.*
A few reasons your device may not be receiving/updating via the automatic FOTA releases: (Possible solutions)
You have a rooted device #1. Use NVflash to revert back to a total stock device, then re-flash an official rom from the Asus FTP server.
You have a rooted device #2. Unroot using the guide HERE. Then reflash the latest official firmware you can get your hands on from the Asus FTP server.
You have upgraded/downgraded from another firmware incorrectly. Refer the Rom chef's guide you flashed for info.
The file is corrupted. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>DMClient. Tap on Clear data and Clear Cache. Force power off the device (10-12sec power button hold), wait 30secs and turn device back on again.
It's a fairly large file and your internet connection may be very slow. Be patient.
Wifi is switched off. Turn on wifi!
Battery has less than 50% charge. Plug it in to charge!
It's not been released in your country yet. Be patient.
The file transfer was interrupted. Check wifi connection.
Your device serial number may not be recognised by the Asus update server. Contact Asus support.
A modem/router/firewall is blocking the transfer. Temporarily lower your firewall, or put your device IP into the DMZ option in the router settings.
It still doesn't download the update after doing the things above. Try a hard reset.
Argh ... Aliens!!! Repent all sins, run for the hills or build a fortress out of tinfoil to protect yourself.

Maintaining these lists has started feeling like a job so if anyone feels like buying me a coffee (via the donate button) or a new house (wouldn't say no to that one ) it's much appreciated (I've made it through too many sleepless nights with a cup o' Joe lately). Or if you don't like that idea then please consider donating to The Red Cross, as they certainly deserve it a lot more than I do.

Things needing to be fixed
If you notice any items on this list have been fixed in your firmware version, please post details (firmware version, your country, item fixed, number of days you have tested, etc). If a few people confirm an item is fixed I will remove it.
----
ICE CREAM SANDWICH (Current build):
Tablet:
Overall max volume level decreased.
Apps battery % data unavailable.
Occasionally device restarts itself when in sleep mode then gets stuck on asus bootscreen.
Occasionally device shuts down from sleep mode (was in HC builds also, possibly hardware related) and reboots.
Flickering diagonal graphics glitch. Possible overlay or screen refresh rate issue. Can be re-created by opening the Youtube app, then opening the notification area.
Incorrect cursor placement when editing text boxes in stock browser.
Frequent stock browser lockups and crashes when viewing web pages with lots of flash animations/videos.
Default email client doesn't automatically sync emails based on the time interval stated in the settings.
Incorrect clocks. Notification bar clock, lockscreen clock and extended notification clock occasionally show different times.
Stock browser text selection arrows occasionally stay onscreen after you have finished editing text.
Frequent MyLibrary app crashes on opening pdf files.
Stock browser closes itself seemingly randomly.
File manager closes itself seemingly randomly.
Dock:
TBD
----
HONEYCOMB (Obsolete build):
Tablet:
Text selection indicators in default browser can be extremely inaccurate.
Speaker imbalance. (louder in right speaker) (some units) (Fix for rooted users HERE) ASUS PLEASE just make it so users can select from 2 different profiles (the srs_processing.cfg file is all that needs editing!) or something. This is such an easy fix to implement and it would 'fix' so many peoples device sound. We shouldnt have to root to get this to work ourselves.
Default e-mail app gets stuck 'searching' for emails. No way to tell if it is downloading an amazingly large file or if it's hung. Some feedback from the app saying what it's doing would be helpful.
Wifi frequency band HC option missing in the settings. (all units)
HDMI only outputs at 720p. Possible flickering screen issues. (some units)
Speaker 'pop' issue. After a period of inactivity with the speakers, and then suddenly they are required to play a sound, a small pop is heard, before the rest of the audio plays properly. (some units)
Disk full error. (HC bug. Disk gets filled up with... nothing. A full reset is required to fix it) (some units)
Asus weather widget text display problems. (workaround: either remove and re-add widget, or grab the widget and rotate the screen then dump widget down again.) (some units, perhaps based on the length of the place name?)
Encryption problems. (some units)
Random times, soft reset issue, when connected to the dock. (some units)
No sound after device wakes from standby. (some units)
Plugging in headphones and still getting sound coming from main speakers. (some units)
Speaker fails to resume working after bluetooth a2dp disconnect (some units)
HDMI while connected to some models of tv only gives a black screen. (Most likely a tv rather than a tablet issue. Update your tv firmware.)
Occasionally when trying to move a widget, the widget gets stuck and can float around the screen, wherever you place your finger, but cannot be placed down normally. Pressing the home button dumps the widget back into it's original position, but then device becomes non responsive. Requires powering the unit down to fix. (very rare bug) (all units)
Email list widget doesnt always update when email is received.
No way to save currently taken camera pictures to a different location (microsd card, etc).
Finger/mouse 'click events' not showing in default browser (not showing what was selected before the page loads).
When editing text a few times the green selector mis-aligns making it harder to select what you're trying to highlight or edit.
Cannot use front facing camera with a flash application in browser.
Songs pause at the end of each track, requiring input from the user to proceed when using the default music app, while device is in standby. (App HERE to use in the meantime)
When pressing the fixed 'back' button at the bottom of the screen or the 'back' quick control, while using the default browser, sometimes does not populate the screen with exactly the same page as before (missing text/pictures e.g. going 'back' a page onto a previously displayed google search page shows the google logo and search box, but no search results. Seems to do the same thing with facebook pages too.)
Sometimes website thumbnails in the default browser only show a default icon in the bookmark tab instead of a page preview.
Bookmark widget not loading links properly when clicked. (Temporary solution is to undock, rotate the screen to portrait orientation, then rotate back to landscape)
Default email client shows incorrect notification text (showing previously deleted (or just older) emails info instead of new incoming email) occasionally.
Stock browser infrequent screen lockups.
Random speaker popping when device is in standby (Speaker stays active even when volume is set to 0, ie. 'off').
Spell checker disabled while using the dock.
Dock:
Problem with the dock battery. Avoid allowing your dock battery to empty itself fully, or you may no longer be able to re-charge it. Possible fix HERE.
Problem with standby, early dock units (B4, B5 and B6 keyboard docks) Link HERE.
No way to tell the level of internal dock battery. (unless you plug in the charger) (all units not running the old beta firmware) (XDA member made apps for this HERE and HERE)
Keyboard key delay. (possibly caused by text prediction being enabled. Try turning off and report back.) (some units)
Weather widget vanishes from screen on connecting to dock. (HC 3.2) Remove and re-add widget to fix.
The spacebar key in the youtube app search box (while viewing a video) doesn't function properly. More details HERE.
Stock gallery does not show pictures from USB sticks.
There's a potential problem with all game controllers that require power from the device. As even when you plug in the charging lead, the keyboard dock doesnt seem to charge itself unless the tablet is fully charged already, and the controllers draw power from the dock battery, making any gaming session short lived.
Not able to recharge some dock batteries once the charge is fully depleted. (some units)
Adapter
Known fault with a specific model of charger. (Info HERE)
Things I'd love to see added
A startup sound during the boot animation sequence.
To be able to click a button to refresh all email accounts at once while in the combined view of the default mail app.
Custom speaker level app built-in.
A way to hide the google search box, voice input, apps and + onscreen items.
A way to hide the various media card icons in the notification bar.
A way to select the specific pictures you want to show in the MyZine picture slideshow window. now an added feature

Maintaining these lists has started feeling like a job so if anyone feels like buying me a coffee (via the donate button) or a new house (wouldn't say no to that one ) it's much appreciated (I've made it through too many sleepless nights with a cup o' Joe lately). Or if you don't like that idea then please consider donating to The Red Cross, as they certainly deserve it a lot more than I do.

They are massive widgets so you basically need an empty screen to add them. As for your other issues I'm not getting those.

Wow...I see what you mean. Why does a widget that seemingly is pretty useless take up so much space ?
My problem with google is getting igoogle. I can get basic google search on dolphin hd but when I log into igoogle I get a blank screen
Just seen a tweet in @paulobriens timeline from @stridger that this update enables signature checking on updates. So, if you apply this update, you may no longer be able to apply custom ROMs.
That being the case, I'm going to avoid this update until a "safe" version is posted/included in MCR.

I'll add this to 1st post then. Cheers for info.
Still attempting to get MyZine running. It working for the rest of you?
They have fixed the compass. Mynet is also now ikn english instead of Spanish one strange thing is that the default device name in mynet is tf102, when it should be tf101. @vibe is now integrated into the mylibrary app and we now have a cloud storage app. im also finding the asus keyboard is not laggy but that's in apps - not tried it in the browser yet.

If you've already ordered, and your Transformer is expected by the end of April, I seriously doubt this update would be preinstalled.
They are not going to reimage a whole load of boxed up Transformers when they can update via OTA.

"Forever" is the wrong word here - a better word would be "currently".
The update is only just out, and no one has had time to try to work around this issue yet. I would imagine that some bright spark somewhere will come up with something in due course.

I checked Asus website's download section a few minutes ago and now 8.6.5.7 (DE, TB & WW) incl. HC 3.2 is online for download, BUT the date is 2011/08/12, so the question is, if this is really newer to the release from 2nd August, which caused so much trouble.
I'm a bit confused, because in a german Android forum someone eported, that an Asus supporter told him on the phone, that Asus will release a fix for 3.2 last week.
But as it seems, this is the same update as that from 2nd August, just with a newer release date?
Strange ... any experience?
So far I refused to install 3.2, which was automatically downloaded by OTA early this month to my german TF.

The answer to this question is YES. I downloaded this DE update on my notebook, opened the archive and guess what: The ZIP file in the contained ASUS folder has the date 2011/07/30
Received a notification this morning that my unbranded Australian Note 10.1 N8000 (CSC XSA) now has an update available. A couple of days ago the N8010 (wifi) also supposedly got the update to Jelly Bean.
Unfortunately it won't do the update yet as the battery is too low even though I have it plugged in, but I'll update as soon as it has enough charge.
OTA update successful. Device is now saying it's on Android 4.1.2.
Build number: JZO54K.N8000XXCMB1
Changes I've noticed so far:
- New blocking mode in settings - can block calls/texts at certain times of the day and can set exceptions for certain people
- Smart rotation - screen rotation now based on the angle of your face, so you can lie sideways in bed and read.
- Accounts section is totally different in settings menu - now separate accounts are listed in the top level menu
- New disclaimer and privacy policy (for the OTA update service)
- Many apps, including stock browser, email, YouTube, etc can be un-maximised and become floating windows which can be dragged around the screen. They can then be re-sized and pinned (made always on top?), This is true even for some third-party apps like Friendcaster, so it looks like it's a native Android thing rather than Samsung-specific. Unfortunately I can't find a way to make them snap to half the screen like the old split-screen mode. *EDIT - The arrow in the bottom middle of the screen brings up options to switch from the cascade to a split-screen view.*
- Browser now has page preloading (in addition to search result preloading which it already had). Can be off, wifi-only (default) or always.
- Stock email app (not gmail) is still slow and clunky. Project butter seems to have done nothing for it.
I'm sure there's lots of other great changes.
Sweet, finally!!!
I wonder though, why does it say this was released in February on Sammobile.com when we're halfway through March? Why was this not pushed out with the n8010 release?

I was wondering that too. It's possible I did miss it by a while, but that's unlikely - I have been regularly checking using OTA, Kies and on Sammobile.com. I suspect it might be backdated to the date Samsung put on the build??
Mate, I've been checking sammobile every day since the N8010 JB update was released, asked Samsung and was informed that they don't answer rom release questions, just given the usual BS about testing and getting it right for us.
I think it's a bit slack though to release a rom almost a month after it should have come out. And it's a real spit in the eye to then back date it to make it look as if it was released on time....
[ROM][P7320/P7320T][JB 4.1.2] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 [2013-12-22] "FINALLY"
THIS ROM IS FOR GT-P7320 AND GT-P7320T ONLY! JUST LIKE nrvate's CM10 ROM FOR THE i957, THIS ROM COULD EAT YOUR INCOMPATIBLE DEVICE AS IT DOES NOT DO A DEVICE CHECK.
This is a Jellybean 4.1 / CM10 ROM for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE aka the P7320 or the P7320T.
The hardware in this tablet is almost identical to the SAMSUNG i957, except for the data partition being hosted on mmcblk0p28 instead of mmcblk0p26. First I tried converting the other builds, e.g. nrvate's work on the P7320, which worked well. Alas, I have decided a fresh build would be interesting. This build will probably stay at CM10/JB4.1 for now as the p5att variant has disappeared from the msm8660 source for JB 4.2.
You will need a CWM recovery to flash this, e.g. this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122

Install the ROM ZIP and GAPPS ZIP at the same time if you like. Also the first boot may appear to be hung but it will take a short while - don't panic due to the lack of boot animation!
Latest changes:
Touchscreen sensitivity increased + source updates from P7300/P7310
Battery/charging code updates from offical samsung ICS source
Custom additions:
Use the Adreno GPU for 2D rendering - greatly improves performance in the stock browser and launcher, and especially in landscape mode due to our screens being rotated 90 degress in software
smartassV2 governor - you can enable this in Settings -> Performance
USB charging and notification
Enable saving of blocked attachments (e.g. zip files) from the email app (from CM10.1)
Touchscreen sensitivity increased
What is working:
Screen
Speakers / Audio
Wifi
3g/4g
Bluetooth
Camera (front, back, stills mode only)
Tethering
USB charging and notification
What is not working:
Automatic brightness
Camera for video (video - wrong aspect ratio, changing resolution cases crash in app)
Vibration (works but is weak and only sends the start and finish signals)
Boot animation doesn't display 90% of the time
Charging bug while turned off, you may need to unplug the cable to turn back on
Wifi Direct
HDMI out + probably anything that uses the dock port except for USB and charging
+ Lots more that I don't know about yet

I've tested merging the USB charging changes in and it seems like it will be possible, but I will need to make another build. Will look at doing that later in the week.
The good news is, however, while running the tablet off USB, even without the patch, it appears to do some sort of charging, as shown in the "Settings->Battery" screen. So it might be more that the notification of charging, and potentially the "force charging" (which might be required for some devices), is missing.
I've been busy trying to get CM10.1 (JB4.2) booting properly on this device. Currently get ADB starting up, no display working, so not sure about what else.
If anyone who has been working on android/cm ROM development would like to help out please let me know as it's very very new to me !
New version 20131214
Hi all,
New version up that shows USB charging status.
Also the previous change to use the adreno GPU in 2D mode didn't take any affect, I've fixed that and added some more GPU related tweaks.
You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48JIYNc4wvsM1U2b0lCbmZ6S0E/edit?usp=sharing
I also have a new kernel for testing some touchscreen behaviour.
Here is the flashable zip:
cm-10-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-p7320.kernelupdate.zip (use File -> Download from Google drive)
It has some more "up to date" files from the Samsung ICS tree, but I'm not sure if they are having any effect.
If you want to quickly roll back to the original kernel for comparisons, here it is:
cm-10-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-p7320.kernel.zip (use File -> Download from Google drive)
I'll probably keep the updates in there but I'd like a second opinion to see if I've made any difference at all

I've merged this attachment unblocking feature in the next build.
Also... is anyone having trouble with charging? Sometimes my tab won't charge past about 60-70% overnight. A reboot or charging while turned completely off seems to fix it... if others are having problems with it I might look into it further.
New version, includes saving of blocked attachments (e.g. zip files) from the email app (from CM10.1). Also the init logo now displays, before the boot animation does. Still pot luck as to whether the boot animation will display.

For the last couple of weeks, I've been testing the official Lollipop ROM, released for the CIS region (D33120c_00). Similar ROM was also released for TelCel (Mexico) and Avea (Turkey). My phone originally came with D33110f_00 unbranded KitKat ROM (V10f_EUR_XX). The Lollipop ROM was flashed using LG Flash Tool 2014, after which a factory reset was performed.
Here are the bugs I've found so far, and it seems we're dealing here with an unpolished, test ROM. Values in brackets (High, Medium, Low) represent the severity of the problem:
1. [High]: Magnetic field sensor lag. The sensor's polling rate won't go above 15 Hz, which causes reduced framerate in most of the compass apps. Since polling rate in KitKat was well above 50 Hz, this could indicate a major optimization flaw, rendering apps which require precise magnetic sensing useless.
2. [Medium]: Sensors report themselves incorrectly. In various diagnostic apps, sensors report themselves as "MTK [sensor name]". In KitKat, they were correctly reported as "LGE [sensor name]".
3. [Medium]: Apps take way more storage. Actually not a bug, since ART runtime in Lollipop works that way. Nevertheless, it's a good reminder since Smart Cleaning reports 30% storage in use on the first Lollipop boot (it was nearly half that much in KitKat).
4. [Medium]: Play Store lag. This problem is present in KitKat too, but in Lollipop it feels a bit worse. When you scroll up or down the list of paid / free apps (after you select a category), scrolling framerate drops on random spots throughout the list. In landscape orientation, the framerate drops even more.
5. [Low]: Blurry recent apps previews. In the new recent apps list, previews of currently opened apps are a bit blurry. They were perfectly sharp in KitKat. On a rare occasion, some previews would exhibit black horizontal lines.
6. [Low]: Non-standard font in Wi-Fi password field. When a popup window to enter your Wi-Fi credentials appears, the password entry field doesn't feature the standard Roboto font. It features some sort of fixed-length font (similar to Lucida Console on Windows). Bug not present in KitKat.
7. [Low]: Stock Jelly Bean wallpaper on first boot. When you flash the Lollipop ROM, you'll be presented with one of the stock Android wallpapers (which dates back to Jelly Bean). Once you select another wallpaper, you cannot select this one again, as it can't be found in the stock LG wallpaper gallery. In KitKat, you are presented with the default LG wallpaper.
8. [Low]: Phone app recent list leftover. After you finish a call or dial an USSD code, they will suddenly appear in the recent apps list - but not before all other recent apps are swiped away. If you use the "Clear all" button, they won't appear. The correct behavior would be to list them among all other recent apps immediately, not only after all other apps were swept away.
(Note: This list is not finalized, there could be more bugs that are yet to be found.)
To conclude this report, I have a question - is it possible to report these kind of bugs directly to LG technical teams, is there any official procedure? I mean, they have to get aware of bugs somehow - or do they find and correct them on their own, without any kind of user reports?
Sidenote:
The firmware which I'm testing can't be found on DevTester's website (or anywhere else for that matter). DevTester's firmware site is the only real alternative to LG Phone Firmware site. In other words, 99% firmwares from the LG Phone Firmware can also be found on DevTester's website, which is updated daily. This is not the case with the firmware I'm testing, and this could be one more proof I'm dealing with beta or pre-release stuff.
(Disregard this post, the firmware list on those websites are generated by IMEI check and only contain direct links to LG servers.)
6. [Low]: Non-standard font in Wi-Fi password field. When a popup window to enter your Wi-Fi credentials appears, the password entry field doesn't feature the standard Roboto font. It features some sort of fixed-length font (similar to Lucida Console on Windows). Bug not present in KitKat.

Just to help out a bit, if possible:
Camera seems to be fine on my P2XL - though I have not enabled any HDR+ or raw settings.
Now Playing is working for me, grabbed the theme song off the show I was watching last night.
Markup "edit" button can be fixed. Clear data in markup, open photos and use markup from within that; you should get a permission request. (simply going into permissions on the markup app and enabling any/all may work as well, but is untested)
In dialer/recents, tap the number, and choose block from the drop down menu. I am in the beta for the Google phone app - so that may be part of it. Dirty flash may also affect this.
Clarification only: Photos is broken in dark-mode, but only in that all options dialogs/drop-downs are white text on white background. Other than that, you can still browse photos/albums, etc.
For clarity: My device is the Pixel 2 XL and Q was installed via factory image with full wipe (no dirty flash), and I did not restore from any backups.
Camera is fine for me on 2xl. Nothing different. HDR+ works as normal so does raw DNG.

Much faster fingerprint?
It already feels almost instant in Pie, what can they improve?

Now playing is working for me - just not displaying on the lock screen. I just got home form a birthday party, and every song the DJ played is in my NP history;
In addition to the charging time estimate, the estimate in the pull down notification area is completely off base compared to the estimated time left in Settings --> Battery;
My built in screen recording works for me, and has worked since I enabled it from the Features flags in Developer Options;
No issues with Google Photos with dark Mode. Caveat: I had dark mode enabled in Pie, and took the Q DP1 OTA over that Pie install;
I found that there is a microphone icon at the top left when selecting Panorama photo mode that I never saw before (was that introduced with Q DP1, or just a very recent Google Camera update?)
I've not noticed a discernible slowdown in the Camera app (and I always use HDR+ / Night sight for my photos), but I have noticed that when I try to view a picture / video, particularly like an MMS in Messages / Google Voice, the phone is extremely slow and laggy.
@eBENdre just got xl 2 ,prerooted,one question,if i install Q 1 will it owerwrite twrp magisk also,will there be problems maybe? Thanks
For years used htc,this is new for me.

Yes, it will overwrite twrp and magisk.
There are always potential problems with any update to beta builds, however, many are running Q without issues. Best advice I can give is to familiarize yourself with fastboot commands, since you'll need to install twrp again, and read, read, and read again all of the information in the Q threads so you know what to do and expect :good:

Huge thanks mate,and there is problem for me,as keybord not working on laptop...
You'll probably need access to a different computer - or else need to buy a cheap USB KB to use, because use of a separate computer / laptop is pretty much essential to get this working (root + Q, not to mention installing TWRP by using fastboot boot to boot TWRP, then installing TWRP from inside the booted TWRP).

You should get the next update fine, provided your on stock recovery without root. I don't run betas personally, but my info comes from reading about others that do. As with anything android...YMMV :good::laugh:
Android Q Beta Experience
I've been on Android Q beta for almost 3 weeks now. It is used as a daily driver since I have only the one Pixel 2. I flashed the new image myself using TWRP rather than opt into the beta with Google. Other than a problem with now playing not always showing up on the screen and a slight delay when I go to the Favorites page in Phone app everything seems to work alright. I am getting roughly the same battery life as with Android Pie. Oh, and my banking app (ICICI Bank, India) is not working. It doesn't send an SMS to activate the app. I thought this might be as the phone number is shown as unknown. I understand that Vodafone in India does not show the phone number in the SIM information in Settings. I have activated dark mode and even photos and camera app work without a hitch. I have rooted with Magisk (Canary channel) and that is working without any problem.
OTOH, I've also been on Q since the day it came out (my birthday, coincidentally - love being an Ides of March baby lol).
I've had some issues crop up here and there, but nothing really serious. I was on Pie, rooted, and used the uninstall routine inside of Magisk to de-root my Taimen before taking Q, and then rooted it again with the (then latest) canary build.
What I'm hoping is that the Magisk procedure to de-root the device, take the OTA, and then before rebooting, applying the patched boot.img to the new partition will work, the same as if you're rooted on Pie and get an OTA.
Time will tell.
My notifications is coming like this only.. is this a bug?
or the clock is missing?
My device is not rooted. I'm not using any module or theme.
Clock missing - have you rebooted?

Yes I have. Atleast 2-3 times.
Wonder if it is System UI Tuner related?
You could give this a shot and see if the System UI is set to hide the clock, though the last time I actually tried to hide the clock, it didn't leave that space there....
