Android 10 final release on Pixel 2 Xl - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

Just wanted to start a discussion on people's thoughts on performance, battery life and if anyone is experiencing any issues on the final release of Android 10 for the pixel 2 xl.
So far so good for me.

I love the new gestures. Other than that, it's about the same (speed, battery)

I don't like the back gesture very much, but I think I'll get used to it. Everything is ok, up to now...

Everything seems super fine here.

I was on Beta 5 and reverted back to stock by simply opting out of the beta. I feel like when I reverted, it didn't do it cleanly since I still see residual effects like the version number shows in my notification shade. Also, I no longer have access to the Netflix app, says it's incompatible with my device. Other than doing a factory reset, is there a way to "repair" the phone without losing data again?

You can get rid of the build number in the shade by turning off developer options. Not sure what's up with Netflix though mine works fine p2xl

For netflix, download this version :
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/

OMG that worked! I tried other apks before deciding to factory reset and it still didn't work. You're a life saver. How'd you know the version would work?

Does anyone know how to disable the assistant hints? They are driving me crazy.

It's nice, but unpolished...you can tell they rushed the build. Clean install mind you. Phone has rebooted twice, once installing an app. Another just because? Screen can still be interacted with even after swiping up and touching above it. Very noticeable in photos app once clicked on photo and slide up using gestures, it'll move. Battery was very good on beta 5 bit went down hill after that and persisted on the latest build, I very easily hit 9h sot on Pie, I struggle to hit 7 with doing less stuff even. Something that I reported on the betas and still persisted to stable. occasionally I will get an app that goes dark. When i switch it goes back to higher brightness and dark again (happened without auto brightness) a reboot fixed it. Has happened once on official and twice on betas.
There's a few others but I will update as I remember...
This is all bootloader locked. No mods, and no apps that mess with system.

MM Android 6.0.1 Ho do you find with the new hydrogen ROM?

Do you find any bugs or improvement?
I've never installed any hydrogen ROM (always oxygen) but i'm curious to know if MM is more fluid than LP.
Does doze works?

Well, I've tested it. I can say that the Fingerprint is a huge improvement compare to OxygenOS' one. For the rest of the ROM, it seems to be pretty solid and smooth. I don't tested it more than 20 minutes (really don't like HydrogenOS..), but yeah, it seems to be a good improvement compare to OxygenOS in general. But I've had some troubles going back to OxygenOS, so if you want to test it out by yourself, be sure TO BACKUP EVERYTHING important into your PC (or out your phone).
But yeah, I hope OxygenOS will be as fast and stable as HydrogenOS is.

Here's hoping. I just can't get used to H2OS any time I've tried it. I guess I'd still rather use something closer to stock Android, even if it doesn't perform as well!
But if you change hidrogen launcher (with nova or GEL) doesn't seems like a vanilla ROM? Are there other changes from Oxygen over the quick settings and the launcher?
p.s. is only in english and chinese?

yes, only 2 language
the difference are in, launcher, notification, quick setting, different swipe (left for close app o erase notification, right for open notification or lock app, so you can't kill it in multitasking)
I've been running it for a couple of days. First thing I did was to remove some of the Chinese stuff. Second was to change the launcher.
There are fewer options for customization, probably because MM is new to the opt, and that its beta software.
The thing I miss is the automatic activation of do not disturb from the cm builds, not a deal breaker. There's no dark theme, but layers manager seems to do the trick.
It's fast, FP works better than any lollipop rom I've tried and at par or better with the FP on iPhone.
The only problem I e noticed with camera is occasionally it's slow to respond, possible due to doze, also the audio level seems to vary when recording video.
I didn't notice smart lock, but my email server prevents me from using it anyways.
The sound quality from the speaker seems clearer.
I've always had poor battery life battery is much improved, and it got better when I removed Facebook, this is subjective as I haven't tested it out much.
Some of the settings are hard to find, but it a learning curve.
Wifi will drop when doing a soft reboot, for theme changes, and it won't reboot into recovery with flashify, or reboot at all with xposed, again no big deal. Cycling wifi on/off in control panel brings it back I've occasionally lost the 4G/3G indicator, but data is still active, again cycling data on/off brings it back.
A few xposed modules won't work with mm, but that's kind of DUH, they aren't updated. I'm impatient for "alert slider" to get an update, as the flashlight on is very useful to me. I haven't installed many modules as they all are for lollipop. YouTube background playback works.
LTE seems to work, but it says 4G, I can use either sim and get LTE, something I missed on any other MM rom.
I did lose my twrp, but I flashed it over adb, and it now working with power and vol+
I installed kingmericans hos today. Like everyone has noticed FP is blazing fast. Rest is more or less the same as LP hos. A few lags here and there but it's definitely way better than OOS. Even I CNT get used to hos. I revert back to vanilla android eventually but I'm glad at least one plus got one of their ROMs to be nice.
I found it fast and stable. Great job, I was happy in lollipop, now I'm 10x times happier with this device even we don't have custom kernels yet. (Of course nobody will work in a kernel for a leaked beta)

Not anymore, you can swipe both sides to erase notification or recent app. That thing was on lollipop h2os.

For me was terrible. Now I clean flash it again and it looks better, I will test a few more days. Now I have 3h screen with maps 40m (GPS), WiFi and 4G, and 47% left.
I should erase logkits and all that stuff. I don't do it because I have done it before (before 2nd clean flash) and i had terrible battery life.

Using Kingmercians Hydrogen OS and with Google Now Launcher it is really quite amazing. Sure, it isn't as good as Oxygen, but it is Marshmallow and that alone makes it worth it. You can customize Hydrogen OS to be perfectly OK and while Oxygen is indeed preferred I'd rather use this until Oxygen comes out and then just install Oxygen, it's not like it is hard to switch ROM's.
Well it's butter. Can't stand OOS after this. Xposed works so customization galore. Of course battery is much better. Heck even Viper works. Finally OP2 works.
H²OS MM <3
Hey !
I just give my personal opinion.
I find this first beta v1.0.2 & TWRP 3.0.0 by Kingmercians incredibly robust and fluid.
The FP sensor is a marvel and is faster than the iPhone 6 Plus ! ;p
In addition it consumes nothing with Servicely ! And the best part about it is that the power save mode is 100% lag free !
I tried to return the phone in all directions, with Xposed v80 where I encountered some problems with Gravity Box...
Especially the percentage of battery level that does not stop to make small jumps. If I put the default settings in Gravity Box and puts the battery percentage from the system menu, it disappears in seconds...
(So I deleted Gravity Box and everything is back to normal when you reboot.)
If not except it Locale More works very well too. (For me it's in French !)
One last thing if I had the choice the first time I used the Oneplus 2 to change the preinstalled ROM (OOS), I would do it again when we see H²OS is its superb IOS like interface.
At any point of view I prefer H²OS.
Do not forget this is a beta, some bug not very important, works better than OxygenOS 2.2.0, there is no doubt.
Peace.

Zenfone 2,Android 6 official ... reviews and bugs

Hi there
Lets talk about our experience after the MM update.
Me first...the system is smooth...
I think there s battery improvement(little)....maybe I feel wrong.
Three bugs...1.my approximity sensor was not always working properly...after the hard factory reset,I ve not seen that bug any more....2.google messenger does not have the new message notification on its icon....3.chrome address bar is sometimes not reachable(when some page is oper,I cannot click on the address to edit it,I have to make a new tab
Update
Another bug... wile incoming calls,sometimes the phone cannot take data from contacts....it starts with number,after some seconds,it shows the name of the contact
Bug on ZE550ML/Z008
Hi,
I did the update to MM 2 days ago.
First by just updating: very smooth, battery not really improved, even with doze, as my phone had already an excellent battery life in LL (2 days "normal" use) BUT:crying: got 2 freeze, no way to power off except by holding down power button at least 10s.
Then, I did a factory reset from MM and re-installed all my app with titanium backup.
Still smooth BUT 1 freeze again after some hours.:crying::crying:
I already got those freeze when testing the beta. So still not solve
Back to LL for me as it was extraordinary stable for me.
Thanks for feedback guys. I hope you report all of these to Asus to let them the chance to fix those bugs.

The addition of Facebook app let alone the Facebook messenger to a devices System which had/keeps having horrible battery life reviews is crazy. System apps can launch themselves, they will be never "patched" (less downloaded bytes) and God forbid, if a major security issue happens in that application, it will have very bad consequences as users _hate_ updating things.
I am waiting for first meaningful, suitable for daily use Cyanogenmod releases with the MM kernel and I am off to Cyanogenmod. If I buy another device, it will be stock Google Android, will never touch anything which has a BYTE changed from stock Android.
Returned back to stock .184 from AICP using shakalaca's pre-rooted image, then updated to
.194 using full firmware zip that pushed into internal memory, then updated again to MM .134 using the same method, and finally did a factory reset; everything works so far for me. Disabled a lot of junks and no problems.

You could disable startup for these apps thanks to Asus' own auto-start feature. Or, if you hate it, you could disable it at anytime. (I disabled Facebook and Instagram app, but leave Messenger enabled because I've some importance over it)

Very smooth, none of the slowdowns that I used to get on L from RAM management / memory leak issues. Haven't encountered any bug yet except for being unable to factory reset, which always fails when it goes into recovery and tries to erase user data.

hmmm,i've seen a guy here saying that he did got back to LL from the last MM coz he had some freeze issues,well,i have no idea what the hell u had installed on your phone that coused that,for sure it has to be an app that cause that issue,not the OS itself,many do talk and have no idea of what they r talking about,first of all after u install a new version,make a factory reset,after that,stop doing a recovery from that titan whatever is name and install the apps 1 by 1 and find out the 1 that causes that issue,don't blame the OS coz u don't know what are you doing or using,yes it runs very smooth and faster,i dunno why some do say that they don't see improvements on battery,did u thought that all you have installed on your phone is causing that ? to many apps using internet (facebook,instagram,buzz,games etc) ? all the internet use make battery run down very fast in case u didn't know,another yes,the new firmware comes with lot of bull****s app,like facebook,messenger,that crappy useless manger that claims to kill apps for more memmory (actually it is just a theory claim,not actual thing that it does,i can give an explanation to that),iread and i think a few more that i never used and never will,but yes,u can very easy deactivate them,which i always dowith all i hate,which i really think they should be optinal apps to download from google play,not to come by force preinstalled,i do use the phone pretty much,and just normal on internet,those parts do make battery go down pretty fast,but in standby...2 days easy,in 8 hours (night) standby it only droped the battery down 3%,i doubt it was the case in LL
Feels fine, despite possible OS problems (Android draws most of battery). Anyway, a better experinece.
BTW - Just seen that this is a 32bit MM 6.0.1. How can the system utilize full 4GB of RAM?
Any sensor is working for me. I did a clean installation, flashing last LL firmware. Than I put MM firmware on internal storage.
MM is working fine and smooth. But no one sensor is working.
Another app

Latest suggestions on lag and freezes

I bought the phone from Sprint and used it for Sprint; then now Cricket. Sprint has terrible service here; I roamed for days sometimes traveling for work. I would swear the phone freezes and lags more when you are in that funk area of having no service or poor service.
Most of my freezes are when I'm driving; that's most of my phone use anyway. I've used app killers and memory boosters, and I keep reading that those actually do more harm.
I have an iphone for work and it never freezes; and my best android experience was with a Huawei Honor 8; it had no freeze to speak of.
Is it the phones hardware, how it plays with apps, or does it just need more ram, or are there bad/buggy apps? It's not uncommon for me to use Waze, Uber Driver, Glympse, and an app that either plays audio, or sometimes video like DirecTV. It will almost always freeze.
I've done resets and restores. Wonder if a fresh reset and reinstall of apps would have any good effect?

Do not use any app killers or memory booster. They do more harm then benefit.
If you are on Nougat, update to Oreo Beta 3. Or wait for a few days. Essential will be pushing 8.1 beta soon, hopefully within this week.
I use Waze everyday, and have never had freezes. I'm running OB3.

Thanks for the suggestions,it just seems like beta builds, for someone who uses the phone to make money (where you need 100 reliability), are not the best choice.
I'm not saying Waze is an issue, that's just one of several apps that o have open during the problem times. When I do use the ram boosters they typically indicate they are finding almost 1 gb to free up.

FREE RAM is wasted RAM. As per feedback here and in other forums, Oreo Beta builds have been much more reliable than Nougat builds.
I never ran Nougat, so can't compare unfortunately. But OB2 and OB3 has been rock solid for me.

@cfclay - Today, in order to help combat sluggishness and choppy scrolling, I turned on Force GPU rendering in developer options. It's helped in my opinion. That's usually a setting developers use when testing, but since this is more or less a test build, I figured I'd give it a shot. I also changed my transition animation settings to .5x from 1x. While that won't help smoothness, if you're getting laggy experience it may help speed some things up a bit for you. May be worth a shot and may just give the perception things have improved, but overall I've been very pleased with the performance of the oreo beta 3 release.
@indian84 - where is everyone getting this information that oreo 8.1 beta may come out on friday (I've seen that mentioned in several places) or in the next few days. The only thing I can find is where Essential just said they were skipping 8.0 to jump straight to 8.1. Can you point me to where timeframes have been mentioned? Thanks in advance.
Hey, I sideloaded Essential Phone Oreo Beta 3 (OPM1.170911.254 and I have a dumb question- how can you tell it applied. There were no errors on the computer, but I think there may have been something on the phone that said installation aborted, just barely noticed before I chose to reboot.

So going back to your original issue. Sprint did cause the phone to lag and do weird things. That was a given. I was able to get out and use TMobile. the difference is night and day. I do want to point out that cricket caps it's lte speeds at 8mbits, this is from having cricket before and it would sometimes drop to 3 and 4 is more consistent. I'd check the snrs and the speed you're getting from cricket , in 2018 8mbit cap feels a little low

I'm on the unlimited 2 plan and getting 3 Mbps lol. Still, works beautifully compared to Sprint. I do see your point though. This is my first month to try this service, and I've used about 10gb a week and it works just fine, so I'm sticking to it.

But effing with the GPU does not fix the issue... It's just your rose colored glasses...
Neither performance for the governor... Nor any setting in developer options will fix it...

The lag and freezes has nothing to do with being on Sprint versus being on Cricket or any other carrier. I get the random freezes and lags too and it's really frustrating. The phone throttles and unthrottles itself at random times with no rhyme or reason. I'm all stock, not rooted, no beta software and the phone would stutter, lag, freeze while i'm doing something mundane. Also touchscreen issues at times.
I already have (had) my device setup the way i want, so not interested in starting all over just to try/test out beta software. I'll just wait for the official Oreo to drop.
Certain apps seem to really cause problems. I reset my phone and installed most of the apps again. When you connect carplay and use another GPS app like glympse, it can be a complete dumpster fire. Locked up on me twice today

PUBG Mobile on essential

Has anyone else here played this game on the essential phone? I have a couple of strange glitches. I initially thought they were associated to my original faulty device, but after receiving my warranty replacement that is not faulty the same issues still persist on PUBG Mobile. So I am assuming it's something with this phone in general.
First glitch is some artifacting during the loading screen on the notch end of the phone. I am assuming this is because of the screen resizing to accommodate for the notch. It seems like it starts to attempt to resize the screen a few times in a row every once in a while resulting in what looks like some screen glitching. I've noticed this in other apps while using them too like chrome and OfferUp. Looks like every once in a while the app suddenly attempts to resize back to full screen mode for a split second, then immediately shrinks back down again to cut out the notch area.
Other issue is while using both fingers on the screen at the same time. Moving while aiming for instance it will spin my character around a little bit.
Doesn't display any of this behavior on any other phones I've ever had. I already contacted the publisher of the game but Wondering if anyone else has these issues and knows a workaround.

Strange, I don't at all. I full wiped and flashed from fastboot though. Did you ota?
So you still have the graphical glitches?
How do I get P?
Also is it possible to force games and other apps to utilize the full screen pace around the notch? As much as I don't like apple I do notice in YouTube videos that it does fully utilize the notch area on the iPhone X.
Alright nevermind found the settings in developer options from YouTube video to force all apps to use the notch area.

I flashed the ota through adb, did not factory reset though. I think the issue is involving the multi touch that was broken in and 8.1, and I don't think Google has fixed the issue

Like I said before, I flashed the full fastboot file, not just the ota. It is fixed completely. You could try that.
Yes! God, I thought I was the only one with the multi touch issue..but I'm too lazy and stupid to get P so I suppose I'm out of luck.
There's a fix for the multi touch glitch bug. It's a magisk module called "Pixel 8.1 multi-touch fix".
Let me warn you, DO NOT install it if you are on the stock essential ROM, because it will fail to boot. It is only safe on AOSP based ROMs. I can only vouch for myself that it works flawlessly with lineage. If you are on stock ROM you'll have to wait until essential releases a fix.
I just read up on it a little. Apparently it's an issue with all phones running 8.1.0 Oreo witch I did not know. My original essential PH1 was faulty, kept crashing and rebooting so I thought this was part of the faulty device.
Looks like they plan to release a fix in June security update.

The difference is insane right? Night and day. Even if there were any bugs, which I haven't noticed any, I still wouldn't be able to go back I don't think.
Way smoother, all touch bugs fixed, better battery life... What's not to like?

Yep, everything is great for a dev preview. I fixed my PUBG, by just uninstalling, then reinstalling the game. Runs flawlessly

Any way we can implement AOD (Always On Display) on OP6T?

So lack of LED is making me kind of delayed in checking notifications, and that feels weird to me. Is there any way we can implement/enable AOD on OP6T? Root/Non-root, either works. I tried the OG mod for 5 and 5t, which works for 6 too, but crashes in 6T for some reason.
Would be into this as well.

AOD magisk module doesn't work?
Hope this theme works on 6T
Worked fine on 5T that i had before.

How to enable it using substratum? I keep getting this message at the bottom: please compile this overlay before applying.

That mod doesn't currently support the fingerprint sensor. Hopefully that'll change soon though.
Always on display-Beta from the play store seems to be working. Lots of potential. Still testing.

let us know if you can reply to texts etc from the lock screen. That's the one thing I miss
Soon as I get my unlock.bin, I have some treble aod features I bet would work..if anyone wants to test it as I dont have root yet, let me know, it's a simple copy with a root explorer. rro.framework.apk to /vendor/overlay reboot

Not that I can tell, but if you click the notification when you unlock the device it goes straight to that notification event.
In the post, paphonb-oos-mods-v14.zip, instead of the OPsystemUI.apk, BRUSH-IN test is available, lock screen layout is offset, harmless and elegant.

That'll drain the battery I guess.

Not noticably any more than always on display does.
Meaning, it doesn't effect doze. But it is an app always running, so it will use a marginal amount of more power.
On day 2 it uses more battery than the rest of the apps, but I really don't think it's a problem. I'm getting 6+ hours sot. Display at around 90% brightness. I don't do any 3d, intensive games though. Clash of clans, chrome, Google feed, email, text and calls.
I haven't noticed the lack of the led, since I can just touch the screen and take a quick look at the notifications.
