'Gaming mode' for Pixel2 XL - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

It's annoying to have notification pop out during gaming... The one provided by the system will force set my volume to zero. Is it possible to have no notification but with sound?

I don't play games but when I don't want notifications popping up, I use Do Not Disturb and check media in the exceptions.

That's a good warning though. At that point you should charge up or lower that warning percentage if it's too soon.

Weird lock screen notification

Not sure what this is but that rectangle with an eye keeps popping up for just a sec and only on my lock screen. If I have the notification drawer pulled down it won't show up. Its creeping me out. Like someone is taking spy shots or something. Anyone know what this is?

Hahahahahahahahahahahah
Man it's the "Smart Screen" option in Display settings! :laugh:
It's also present everywhere anytime not also on lockscreen! It will run each X seconds to check if you are looking at the screen or not!
I have never had that option turned on. It only comes on when in the lock screen. Glad u got a hearty laugh out of it. I bow to your superior intellect. ?

Notification light while charging?

I noticed that when the phone is charging, the LED doesn't show notifications. Is there any way to change this? It's kind of annoying to get i.e. a whatsapp message and not see it until you turn on the phone.

Ah, thank you. For some reason I didn't recognize that this would allow normal notifications to display.

70M of ram just to show notifications? Meh.
Xposed led control mod is the best alternative to lightflow. Easy on the memory, and runs as service only.

70 mb isn't going to affect the performance of your phone at all. It's also very customisable and straight out awesome. I've never seem the phone with any less than 200 mb free ram even under the heaviest loads.

Google notifications

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Every once in a while I get a pop up notification from Google. Opening it, it directs me to Google settings. Is it telling me I need to change something? I didn't think so. Everything seems to be working fine. More annoyingly, I can't swipe it away. It seems the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on here?
Thanks very much for any help & here is screen shot of what I'm talking about.

See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3366469 It seems to be something to do with Nova launcher.

Thanks very much for that. Narrowing it down to something to do with Nova launcher is a start at least. I'll research further. It's still very annoying though!

Hmm I occasionally get this pop up when I say ok Google from the lock screen with ok Google always on enabled. It appears for a couple of seconds then goes away, I thought it was to say Google now is recording audio?

what is this icon

Please see screenshot. What is the icon at the top between the Bluetooth icon and the alarm clock icon? I tried to draw a little arrow to point it out.

I have no idea why it is on. I don't use android pay. How do I shut it off? Anyone know why it is on? Anything to do with Android wear 2?
Drop down menu from the top, NFC switch should be there

I have many homescreen screen shots to verify it was never on before today or at least the icon was never there.

You must of accidentally turned it on then.
I leave it on as I have NFC stickers to automate tasks. You can hide status bar icons with System UI Tuner from the Play Store after using a few adb commands.

Double tap the double box next to the circle!
Hit it enough and it goes away!

It is just above fingertips sensor and to the right! Switches between double and single box depending on what is currently selected

I know how to turn it off if active. I want to disable the feature entirely. It activates and stupid times and I want the feature gone.
