coming from stock 7.1.2 + elementalX this DP3 seems good but not 100% smooth like previous, btw it's ok as daily driver...can't say a lot about battery for now.
[Nexus 6P General] Neofyte:
Same here, Magisk didn't work for me, just bootlooped, but SuperSU v2.82 just worked.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

I'm coming from ABC 7.1.2 + Franco and while I miss the tweaks DP3 has been damned stable. The only hiccup so far was a failure to hand off from WiFi to cell, had to turn mobile data on and off a few times and then things worked, have since then. Not sure I did anything, might just have been working it out on its own. All of my apps are working fine, and in fact a weird screen redraw issue I had with Waze when signal was lost and regained is completely gone.

PiP sometimes works. If I have YouTube open, pull the current video down to the corner and then let the screen time out, when I open the screen YouTube will be thinking, just a white screen with the minimized window, and if I hit the home button I suddenly have PiP, can drag it around but if I close it I have to repeat the process.

Also, I'm on Project Fi and I noticed that WiFi Assistant now has the option to keep the Google VPN active so I am and it's not interfering with anything (discovered it after the handoff glitch so not connected).

I tried to root with the extra delay version of SuperSu and with Magisk and no luck, but the latest SuperSu, v2.82 works like a champ.

I did have issues making TWRP 3.1.1 persistent, and when it was installed I'd have to input the lock password to decrypt data. I turned off password at start and that seemed to solve the issue, TWRP was now persistent and didn't need a password to open data. Rooting seems to have locked it in. I do like the passwd requirement to start TWRP so I'll see if rooting keeps it around.

I miss stuff like the expanded power menu, and I wish Google would include that and a kill option in the developer menu.

The phone seems snappier on 8. I have animation scales set to .5x, and that helps. Also I haven't seen a hit on battery or RAM like some are reporting. To be fair I didn't try the earlier releases but the phone is behaving the same as it did on 7.1.2.

So yeah, I'll be keeping this as a daily driver. A few minor glitches I can live with and I can live without the tweaks, or try my hand a doing it myself.

Same Issue here with project Fi. Called Fi support and the didn't help at all.

Powered off. Removed SIM. booted up and clear Fi app data. Powered off and inserted SIM. rebooted and reactivated Fi. This worked for a day but now I'm back to unusable data speeds.
[Nexus 6P General] MikiGry:
[MENTION=2667239]leets4uc3[/MENTION]

After a few days my speed increased. It was like

First speed test - 1m/s download

Second speed test - 2mb/s download

Third speed test - 30mb/s download [emoji14]

It looked like phone was getting used to android O. I had very similar thing with Facebook Messanger. It kept crashing all the time after O update. It stopped after a few days (I didn"t reinstall it or anything). Clearing it's data wasnt helping too.
[Nexus 6P General] sls1999:
I have exact error as describe when trying to update with apk file, I tried to turn off LMT launcher temporary the problem disappeared, please check notification that tells you app is displaying over other apps.
[Nexus 6P General] Kostakis07:
OTA to DP2 two weeks ago, got me into a bootloop on the first reboot. It booted just fine at first but then, boom. I did a factory reset, everything fine, but went back to stock 7.1.2 anyway. Now I see DP3 is intended for early adopters, meaning it'll have less bugs. I want to install it, but I'm scared of another bootloop, did anyone face the same issue? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] steveo17:
anyone else here on Verizon and not able to have data while on a call? I went to find the setting to enable enhanced 4G LTE Mode and it does not exist in settings?

edit:

contacted verizon and had them toggle VoLTE and it works now and the setting is then permanently enabled in settings
[Nexus 6P General] leets4uc3:
I have Project Fi and I figured out Sprint is my issue. I get a strong signal but the its not LTE at all... Its like 0.1 down and 0 up... When I try to force TMobile when only get edge and same slow speeds. I rolled back to 7.1.2 and have the same issue. I'm still digging into it. Fi support sucked yesterday.
[Nexus 6P General] BaumerS4:
Does anyone have tethering working? I'm on Sprint, and have always been able to use WiFi Tether Router with root, but it doesn't appear to be working on DP3.
[Nexus 6P General] coremania:
For those who got mobil data issues you can try to use a

apns-conf.xml from a lineage rom. Replace with twrp in system/etc, chmod 644, reboot, reset apn and choose your

provider. I can't test this for US here in germany.

Edit: got one left, rename to xml
[Nexus 6P General] leets4uc3:
What exactly does this do? And will it work with project fi? Fi uses multiple carrier towers.

I think just forcing tmobile fixed my issue. Still need to test it long term.
[Nexus 6P General] GatorsUF:
Settings > Wireless & networks > more > Cellular Networks > Enhanced 4g lte mode

I think you have to turn on AdvancedLTE on your Verizon account online, but if you've had it before then it should be turned on.

Edit: sorry just realized this is for DP3, I'm on 7.1.2...

disregard.
[Nexus 6P General] clarkgable:
Thanks to you, I got to the bottom of the issue and I was able to update.
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
I'm on Project Fi and I keep losing data. I have to reboot to get it back. Don't remember it happening as much on DP2. Not complaining just reporting.
[Nexus 6P General] GatorsUF:
Anyone know how to get assistant to work on DP3? I know most of you have it working automatically, but for some reason my phone doesn't like assistant...I know I can add the lines to the build.prop but was hoping there was a better solution.

Also any way to get the pixel/Google photos hack on DP3? This one seems unlikely, but figured I'd ask.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
So people using it as DD, how has it been?
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
Deep darkness?
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Daily driver
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
Hahaha lol my bad English, yeah daily driver for me, with stock kernel working very fine, but today try Flash Kernel :silly:
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Haha was still awesome, deep darkness sounds like a killer metal band name.

I'm tempted to try it out but my performance and battery life has been so good on DU with ex kernel
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
Hahaha deep darkness is a substratum theme :laugh:
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Ohhhh lol

I'm using destiny black, have never heard of deep darkness
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
Deep Darkness only on closed beta program, The theme was originally designed for CMTE but as CMTE to dead the developer decided to adapt it to Substratum but works something wrong on Android O for the moment
[Nexus 6P General] Upy3r:
I was trying to dirty flash the DP3 ota on TWRP but I get "error 7".

The thing is I want to stay unencrypted, so I was thinking to dirty flash the ota and then magisk beta 13 and then boot, that's supposed to do the trick but I'm facing that error in TWRP.. is there a work around?
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
Try flash stock recovery, flash ota, re flash twrp, wipe caches and flash magisk beta, reboot and enjoy
[Nexus 6P General] Upy3r:
Hello ty for the response... Do I need to remove SuperSU before or anything? And where can I find the stock recovery?
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
try this

download the full DP3 and flash system, kernel, radio and vendor, reboot on twrp and wipe caches, SuperSU will be automatically deleted and you can instantiate magisk.zip
[Nexus 6P General] jidccruz:
Since installing Android O Developer Preview 3, Instagram, Facebook and Facebook messenger lag real bad!!!
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
IG works fine here. The Facebook apps always lag. Try using ur web browser instead of the, malware, spyware, bloated, worst app for ur phone in the play store, FB app.
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
The app metal is really good for Facebook
[Nexus 6P General] Exwoodchuck:
Since the first preview of O, neither Google Play Music or Slacker will display the correct track info when streaming on BT. I can change tracks fine, and the time in track is correct, but I get either no track name, or I get it for the first track played, the it never changes. Worked fine on 7.x and before. Great.
[Nexus 6P General] eduardozeassesme:
Instagram and messenger working fine, but Facebook is bad, on my J7 2016 working very bad, is a Facebook bad optimization app
[Nexus 6P General] evrk:
Facebook app is lagging like hell on stable 7.1.2 as well. It's just a horrible app. It's also slowing down the entire phone for me. Unistalled it and phone is fast and smooth again. I also unistalled Messenger app and installed the Lite version which is indeed lite and fast and doesn't hog my phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Viper Daimao:
I have this problem too.

Does slacker actually play audio for you? I can't get anything other than Google Play Music to work. Other apps only play through the car if I have Google Play Music playing as well.
[Nexus 6P General] clarkgable:
Snapchat is reeeeeeeeeaaaaalllly laggy
[Nexus 6P General] Exwoodchuck:
Slacker plays fine. I did notice that while the track changes if i tell it to, that the app on the phone and my car (Chevy Mylink) doesn't reflect the change. I did see the track info update yesterday in Google Play Music, but it lagged or was the previous tracks info.
[Nexus 6P General] tomerstern:
app shortcuts bug

I am not able to add a website or an in app shortcut to the home screen.

Is this a known issue with O?
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Works with Chrome but not with Firefox. Could be that apps need to be updated to newer API.
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Same here.
[Nexus 6P General] AL_IRAQI:
Hey Guys just pushed a new update for accents

[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
Guys I'm getting this last days some draining from Message from Google. It appears on the top of battery stats. Anyone?!
[Nexus 6P General] malwayne66:
Happened to me 2 days ago and I don't even use messages...it was strange but didn't notice it since
[Nexus 6P General] Triscuit:
I'm not a fan of the new battery usage page, what are you guys using in place of it?
[Nexus 6P General] Kappa Lamda:
I am BBS fan but that requires root and since DP2 I said I'll try to stay unrooted with android O. I don't know if it supports O if you are rooted. You can check out its thread here on xda.

Also after DP2 I said I'll stop checking my battery stats. I'll just stop worrying about SOT and any other number. At the end of the day, I just want my phone to last throughout the day and charge it every night.

Since 6P easily delivers that, why bother who drained my battery.
[Nexus 6P General] MikiGry:
Is it only me or RAM management on DP3 is a total disaster ?

For ex

When I finish watching YT video in apk (YouTube apk) and go back to scrolling videos everything will be glitchy , laggy and delayed. To fix that I have to go to recent apps (and wait a few seconds, because phone gest very laggy) close everything accepts YouTube and go back. YouTube will reload and be smooth and fast again.

I can observe this situation on a few apps

- Messanger (when I try multitasking at the same time)

-Tapatalk (when scrolling pictures)

- Sometimes Google Chorome when switching through loading tabs

On DP2 it was random and rather rar. On DP3 (latest update) it is happening way too often :/
[Nexus 6P General] ScOULaris:
RAM Management in all of the O developer previews thus far has been wonky compared to Nougat. Apps don't seem to stay in RAM for as long as they should.

#JustBetaThings
[Nexus 6P General] Cave_diver:
Facebook and messenger take ages to open, I discarded DP3 after an hour of testing
[Nexus 6P General] AL_IRAQI:
Mine was actually better :

Weird, i didnt notice it, i used O for weeks i really like it :D
[Nexus 6P General] Shaglok:
Well, is a beta. Report that to Google and these apps' developers. Screaming in xda is useless for the development.
[Nexus 6P General] MikiGry:
[MENTION=3841836]Shaglok[/MENTION]

Well. I'm not screaming.

Since those apps used to work ok with DP2 but with DP3 they suck all possible RAM I'm suspecting DP3 update.

I'm wrighting about this problem to see if it's just me or other people are having bad RAM management too
[Nexus 6P General] louie875:
Hi guys, I have noticed that in the backup settings 'Automatic Restore' has disappeared from the backup menu. When setting up a new device it my nexus 6p doesn't show up in the list of devices to restore from. Is this something that occurs in all previews?

Happy 4th of july US pep's. Lets hope that google surprise us with something ;)
[Nexus 6P General] jiajialing:
after upgrade from 7.1.2, "Device is managed by your organisation" in notification

anyone have it? what is this?
[Nexus 6P General] Pig Vomit:
I'm assuming it's because you have an Exchange account set up with your employer which requires administrator rights so that they can wipe your phone if you lose it because it may have sensitive work stuff on there. Also, some anti-virus/phone trackers as well. Just check who/what has administrator rights and you will likely find the answer there.

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

They did yesterday by not releasing the regular monthly security update for 7.1.2! Guess they had the day off. Look for it, and a possible O update, tomorrow.

Thanks for the happy 4th wishes. I also send you and your country good wishes and hopes that things become peaceful.
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
Well after a few days I found out that sometimes, aleatory apps, specially legacy apps (apps that are not developed with O in mind), decide to drain battery by staying active in background!!! This is very bad.

If I don't stay alert and go time to time check apps on Battery app usage, sometimes I get big battery drains.

The only fix for this, until devs release their apps fully compatible with O, is by checking every app to see if they are active While in background. If the app is running a long time in background the only way to stop this is to disable "Background activity" option. If the app is to important and you don't want disable that option, the only way is from time to time check if the app is running in the background and Force Stop the app.

I had several apps doing this. Messenger from facebook is one of them.

I hope devs from apps bring O compatibility but also next dp O (final O I guess) fixes this.
[Nexus 6P General] Viper Daimao:
my battery seems worse off too. bluetooth also seems weaker. I was in a plane listening with my bluetooth earbuds. when I had my phone in my pocket the sound would cut out every now and then. It would stop when I took my phone out and held it closer to my eat buds.

Also having a weird issue with bluetooth on my car (2016 BMW 3series). At first I thought it was the issue where you had to manually change the sampling rate in the developer options but that didn't fix it. It seems that only the first app that streams to my car over bluetooth will output sound. to have another app play I have to restart the device. So I restart, connect to the car, play a song on google music, and it's fine. But if I try to switch to say, podkicker, it will play sound from both apps for a half second and then when google music stops playing, the sound will stop, but podkicker will still keep playing, just with no sound. This doesn't happen with my earbuds, just the car.

Any ideas on this one?
[Nexus 6P General] evrk:
Im on DP3 some days now. Battery life is ok. Not better than 7.1.2 but not terrible either. Just ok. RAM usage is all over the place though. I see excessive RAM usage from all apps. After a reboot RAM usage is same as 7.1.2 with same apps for me but after some hours it looks like crazy. Overall it's stable enough for daily usage. Considering DP4 will be the last Beta I want to see if they will improve it.
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Are we supposed to be getting another DP update? Or is the current one the last one until final release? I can't find that timeline pic for the updates
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Ah thanks. It's as vague as I remember. Lol.
[Nexus 6P General] Upy3r:

i am using pure nexus rom with twrp

can i enroll in android o beta without pc ?!

can i use flash fire for example ?! or any other method wihout pc ??
[Nexus 6P General] crixley:
Battery life was supposed to be one of the main selling points of O, that apps couldn't just do what they wanted in the background. It isn't sounding so good :/
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Where the hell is DP4???? Lol
[Nexus 6P General] AL_IRAQI:
late July i guess :confused:

unfortunately i sold my 6p :(
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:

I just flashed DP3, and everything's ok but suddenly it notified me mobile data is cut out，now，I have no network but can make a phone call, has anyone met this before?
[Nexus 6P General] Exodusche:
Not sure if your issue is the same as mine but you could try flashing earlier radio image. I had issues on the latest as far as data and signal. Switched back to 3.75 and all is peachy. ?
[Nexus 6P General] zelendel:
I wouldn't count on it. Google is using more and more closed sourced stuff. Like the system files in the ota for the pixel. Some of them like the system ui are different then what is pushed to aosp.
[Nexus 6P General] winxuser:
To me I find the build a little laggy, it could be that I dirty flashed it over 7.1.2, maybe a clean flash will work but I really CBF

[Nexus 6P General] MaKTaiL:

[Nexus 6P General] Arzee08:
System and apps are very hungry
[Nexus 6P General] MaKTaiL:
Wow, that's a lot. Hopefully it will go back to normal after a few days of usage. How is the screen time on that screenshot?
[Nexus 6P General] Arzee08:
Has anyone been able to get root firing yet?
[Nexus 6P General] Arzee08:
Not to bad actually considering my daughter was watching youtube for about an hour n a half earlier
[Nexus 6P General] MaKTaiL:
I was wondering if they plan to release this on the Beta channel eventually. I got my Nexus right after the Beta channel was announced so I never really unlocked my bootloader to flash roms manually. I'm too eager to try it out but I don't know if I should wait. Hahaha.
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
I did a clean flash . Removed the -w argument in batch file and ran it

I can't seem to log in in Google play games. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus 6P General] Lord*Andre:
same here. Google play games doesn't work, can't connect. I guess will have to wait for update from play store.
[Nexus 6P General] 00raq00:
I've problem when I'm using Google Chrome, someone else?

[YOUTUBE]1EQ_1o3aui8[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
Nope. Maybe you should check if chrome has all permissions. How did you flash the Dev preview?
[Nexus 6P General] 00raq00:
unlock bootloader

flash

lock bootloader

I see that chrome force closing when battery saver is enabled.
[Nexus 6P General] NoobInToto:
I tried it , Chrome didn't crash in battery saver mode( I had one tab open when I turned on battery saver though).

Why do you lock bootloader again? Won't it be messy the next time you need to flash?
[Nexus 6P General] onesolo:
right now, in twrp one can flash Boot, System, Vendor and Recovery img. So it's possbile to flash 3.1, 3.3 and 3.4
[Nexus 6P General] steveo17:

I'm still betting on today later on...!
[Nexus 6P General] MidnightDevil:
...or maybe not.

If the rumor saying that 8.0 will come in the first 2 weeks of August is true, I'm not sure Google will release a DP4 now to push the final release only 3 weeks later.

in android o for our nexus is the camera app unlocked and we can record 1080p videos in 60fps?

Quick question! If I have Magisk/TWRP, do I just update to DP4 from DP3 by flashing the OTA in TWRP?
[Nexus 6P General] luisjoseb:
The OTA is live, only 205Mb from DP3 to DP4
[Nexus 6P General] 2x4:
are there any serious bugs with DP4?
[Nexus 6P General] TokedUp:
Got the OTA been installed for a few hours. No problems so far. Can't tell if battery is improved yet but things seem smoother for sure. That Easter egg tho, creepy as hell lol!!!!
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
Do I have to be on dp3 or can I just flash dp4 in twrp
[Nexus 6P General] thesebastian:
So far performance is much better than DP2. (Haven't tried DP3).

But I've only used it for a few minutes. Based on how fast they improved the speed I would say that this has a huge room of improvement.

So I don't know how better is versus stable Nougat.

If I were part of the dev team I'd try to make the 5X run as closer as the Pixel. Because if you achieve that....any better phone will benefit from this.

Actions like Open App --> Home --> Open app are blazing fast.

And free ram...maybe is not as good as Nougat but is closer to a gig of free ram.

What the hell is Google doing with those ugly square icons which are inconsistent as well? There is no option to change them anywhere. Half apps are squared and the rest are normal or circle. It's the DP4 this issue shouldn't be here. Do they plan to give us the Pixel Launcher or something else or what. This doesn't make any sense

Also I noticed there is no way to turn off Google Feed at all. You have Google Now enabled like it or not. What the hell Google. Performance is very smooth though.
[Nexus 6P General] Krhysten:
I'm. My magisk hide don't work.
[Nexus 6P General] Snow_ball:
you can't just flash it from twrp - it requires fastboot. if you want to keep your data and you're already on a dp1-3 you can just flash system and vendor and keep all your other software, settings and root. magisk 13.3 still passes without problem for me doing just this coming from dp3
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
I was on 3 and some how I've lost root and my recovery..And have no computer to put twrp back on..O well guess I'll run dp4 til I can get to a computer somewhere.
[Nexus 6P General] Snow_ball:
Sounds like you just flashed the whole image which will overwrite TWRP and the kernel, loosing your root...
