I just tried OTA and it keeps failing, rooted with boot loader unlocked. It's weird cause it updated from 8.0 to 8.1 with no issues and then rooted with magisk which is working. Maybe I have to hide it ?
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] phaino00:
I don't believe the ota will flash if rooted. Try hiding magisk.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] gerrysnaps:
Did anyone else have a very long wait before the prompt to restart after OTA update? Mine took hours, was in Installing most of the time. I even tried to restart to maybe force the install to finish.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] WyrdWyrd:
I don't suppose there's any chance Samsung will be issuing an updated firmware to cover this problem?

https://xdaforums.com/general/networking/wpasupplicant-wpa2-patch-androiod-krack-t3689816

Is it possible to root the phone, apply a patch, then unroot it?

TIA

Could it be because of the magnetic power, like if it was using a magnetic case

I had to unenroll and re-enroll but it's not pulling down :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sleeepy2:
OTA has not been released yet. Also if you download the OTA to adb sideload it won't instal. :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] deskjet390:
Flash it with TWRP....

Ive flashed an OTA with TWRP before whats the worst that could happen?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
New launcher is damn fine. Faster again. Twrp not working properly. So for now back to 8.0.

Can't live without root:)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerreth:
Use Flash-all.bat delete the - w and it flashed perfectly it took a while to boot but works good

What does Not Work ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerreth:
I haven't played with it too much yet but everything seems to work so far
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
When you fastboot boot twrp it asked for a password. Doesn't matter what you set up. I use pattern. It asked for password. I use password and it don't recognize the password I set up.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerreth:
Haven't tried to root yet either
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Can someone tell me whether there any option given anywhere to calibrate the display? I mean I read that the sRGB toggle option is gone from Dev Options, so one has to remain on that god awful default display settings from 8.1 or what?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerreth:
looks like twrp will need to be updated i get the same symptom, it does not accept any passwords/pins

signed up for Beta. will report when it hits OTA
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Atomregen:
For the people who want to root their device.

-copy latest SuperSu to a USB-stick

-remove PIN/password in security settings and set it to none maybe not needed

-boot to bootloader

-fastboot boot twrp.img

-cancel password request

-plug the usb stick into your device and mount USB-OTG in TWRP

-install SuperSu and reboot

-be happy

Thanks to amir7777 for the step in the right direction.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_1989:
I want to revert back to 8.0 because I want root. Can I flash-all.bat on the 8.0 image I downloaded? Essentially downgrading?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Yes, but you will have to do a data wipe most probably.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TechratX:
Root is working

I was able to root 8.1 last night as well. I used the latest twrp 3.1.1-1.

1. Flash the 8.1 zip

2. Complete setup and do not set a password. If you do, just remove it as TWRP will not accept the password and will fail to decrypt your phone.

3. fastboot boot twrp.img

4. Flash SU.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] billington.mark:
srgb setting switch doesnt stick or change anything... Im hoping this is because some more granular control is in the works for a future dev preview.

so far, its looking really nice.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
They remove it for original pixel phones.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_1989:
Can anyone confirm we're able to re-lock the bootloader, or how to re-lock the bootloader? Android Pay isn't working, and I won't get time to move back to 8.0 until the weekend.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Yes, without granular control its not even thinkable. Will ditch the phone straightaway if Google makes a stupendous decision like this.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
And if you did set a pin put SU on an USB with a type C OTG adapter and plug it in the port. TWRP will see that unencrypted.

I tried removing the password pin, it was still encrypted.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
Well crap, I can't get Viper4Arise working on 8.1.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] skit777:
When ota come?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tdimarzio:
Do you mean you can't enable sRGB mode on the Pixel XL in 8.1 beta? That would be a deal breaker for me. I cannot stand oversaturated Samsung OLED colors.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
Disregard...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikaole:
Removing didn't work for me but flashall.bat again and no security setup was doing the trick.

Big thx. You should make a thread with a HOWTO.

BTW I used latest magisk not su. So both are fine.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TechratX:
Documenting a how to:

I would love to, but I am not sure if I can create a new thread. I am a loooooooong time lurker on XDA and I always have helpful things to add, yet never post anything because I cant add links or pics yet due to not having 10 helpful posts first. I finally decided to start somewhere. I'll make a how-to and see what I can do with it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Atomregen:
For me it looks like it is enabled by default and can't be disabled. Because the trigger is gone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tdimarzio:
Oh ... Well, in that case. That's not so bad for me because it saves me a step! :)

I can see how that would bother people who prefer super-saturated colors though ...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] billington.mark:
Either way, the toggle in the developer settings does nothing....

Is there a way to check somewhere what colour space it's using?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mademan420:
OTA is live for 8.1beta!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] widezu69:
Just chiming in here as an on-and-off Pixel XL user (my other half and I rotate between the OP3T, Pixel XL and LG V10). I loaded the 8.1 DP on my Pixel XL with unlocked bootloader, set it up, then successfully booted TWRP, flashed Magisk v14.3 beta, booted back into the OS, Magisk Manager was there, used it to patch the extracted boot.img and flashed that in fastboot and rebooted. I lost root on one reboot but I booted the TWRP img again and reflashed Magisk and it's all good. Root sticks after several restarts now.

Edit: I've heard people have pin and encryption issues with TWRP - I did not have such issues because I actively set up my Pixel from a fresh start and performed everything I needed to do with TWRP before I set a lock and fingerprint security

It is a bit of a disappointment that the sRGB toggle is now gone as I preferred that over the default. The other features though are welcome such as the dark theme, dimming navbar, and more subtle system notifications.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I can not find the themes. Display then advanced right?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xdatastic:
No, just make sure you are using the 8.1.0 Pixel Launcher (not sure if it's included in the Pixel XL build or if you need to download from apkmirror) and choose a solid black wallpaper to change the theme to black. Also works with reasonably black wallpaper, but seems to default to the light theme for most.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Got a solid black wallpaper and pretty sure I got the 2 launcher.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xdatastic:
And when you pull the notification curtain\quick settings down, is it black rather than light?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Well dang it is. I was expecting the full settings menu to change. It is still light .
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TokedUp:
Here's a good one to mess with the dark theme!

I installed it via the OTA that came today morning. The sRGB setting stuck fine for me.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
No AOD is disapointing something like that shouldn't be exclusive to the new devices. Don't like the new padding on the status bar either kinda looks off on the first pixels. Also don't like the new tint over the lockscreen and homescreen.

Apart from that the rest seems pretty good I do like the new font on the lockscreen and setup wizard.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
They navigation keys on the bottom are in a new position which is making the burn in from the original button positions more evident when I go to settings. I think I'm still under a year for the warranty. Should I rma the phone?

Android Pay?

Can anyone who loaded 8.1 via the OTA (not rooted) confirm the status of Android Pay? I want to opt in but I cannot go without Android Pay.... Previously I remember it not working on DP1 in the past.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rox598:
It works fine last time it didnt work cause of a small bug that Google addresses pretty quickly.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_1989:
I loaded this via adb/fastboot and found that the bootloader was left unlocked - didn't want to re-lock as not sure what the consequences would be of that. I loaded the OTA via the beta programme today, and bootloader is locked and Android Pay works fine. :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jz987:
Thanks much! I will sign up shortly and report back on my results. Hoping for the same. :good:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stupidchicken03:
Got the beta OTA yesterday.

Pixel XL - unlocked but never rooted.

Got a couple questions.

1- How can I get the weather showing next to the date on the homescreen? I pressed and held it, popped up with "preferences" but I only get 2 options A-calendar events and B-Traffic info

2- What is the music note down in the lower left hand corner? I can tap it or hold it down, and it does nothing. I was thinking maybe it was for music identification, but when I play a song off another phone, it still doesnt do anything.

I used to have the PIP button there on 8.0.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Seems u need to reset ur launcher data,or a factory rest is better.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stupidchicken03:
Looks like the settings I used to add the PIP button are no longer there..

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Myrrhman:
I have the weirdest thing on the Beta.

I 'search' (search-function in settings) for sRGB mode and it shows up. Redirects me to Developer Options.

And there, in Developer Options, for the life of me, i CAN NOT find the option.

Luckily i all ready have it turned on, but this is just the weirdest.

Can you find it in Developer Options ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xdatastic:
sRGB option has been removed in this preview, even though it shows up in settings search.

To my knowledge, there is no adb command either to toggle it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Myrrhman:
Thanks :)

So weird then. That it shows when you 'search' for it.

So they changed to sRGB by default now ? Because i am not seeing over saturated colors.

Or is it because i had it enabled before the Beta update ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xdatastic:
Just cos you had it enabled before. Mine is default and saturated. I think the only way for you to disable it is to reset. Weird that they removed the option.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Myrrhman:
Yeah, weird indeed.

But i am really happy i had it turned on then. I can't go without. I hate the saturated colors.

Thanks for your replies ! :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I would use this app for customizing your navbar: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967

Far easier, you only need to enable a permission for it through adb.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Did you take OTA update? Or flashed the full image with wipe?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dainesefreak:
I can't seem to get any fast charge working off either of my chargers, don't get the charging rapidly notification. Definitely charges slower.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

I am getting the notification on the bottom of the lock screen.

I am using the original charger and cable, as i do with all my devices.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ACastanza:
If you're having issues installing the OTA, this workaround fixed it for me.

This requires you to have the OTA zip downloaded.

Step 1: Enroll in the Beta program and install the OTA that is pushed to your device.

Step 2: The device will reboot, Immediately after the Google Logo Shows the screen will go black and reboot again. IMMEDIATELY Hold Volume Down + Power to boot into the bootloader

Step 3: Enter recovery mode. You should see that recovery mode is now version 8.1.0. If this is NOT the version displayed, start over.

Step 4: Enter sideload mode and sideload the 8.1.0 OTA Zip.

Step 5: Allow everything to complete as normal. (No error! but the progress of the update process will be a little different than normal, just ignore it and let it do its thing).

Step 6: Your device will reboot several times, and then boot into the OS. Congratulations, you now have v8.1.0.

Does anyone else experience massive lag when pulling up on the app drawer? Everytime I pull up on it, it introduces a huge amount of lag. I've had this phone since release and it's never been laggy until this beta

None here either. This is the smoothest build I've experienced.

I've had issues whereby my phone signal appears to be fine, but if I get a call it goes straight through to voicemail, no SMS either. I rebooted and it didn't fix, so I shut down and started the device and it works.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
Same here. Saw it on my pixel xl 2 as well. Good thing battery life on my pixel xl 2 has been through the roof so having to fast charge isn't as important.

Freaking Google. I updated to 8.1 on my Pixel XL which now exposes the nav buttons that have burnt in since they repositioned the nav buttons. I contacted google and they said they can't help me until I go down to a stable version of Android. Geez.. These reps I swear. I even showed them a picture. IT"S NOT THE OS!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] droid_1989:
The screen burn in issue is annoying, I had it with one of my devices, RMA'd it and now I have it with the replacement - I'm tempted to RMA it again, it's just annoying that in the UK we have to ship it out to Germany - meaning we can't go into a store somewhere and get a replacement :(

I updated via OTA today and just noticed camera is not working. Just black screen and then error 'fatal camera error' and then 'cannot connect to camera' in bug report - I get the same thing with other camera apps too.

Did you ever find a solution for this? After updating I'm stuck at FRP lock and it's asking for a pattern password but I never setup a pattern password previously. I've called Google and they won't help at all. They just keep sayin that the only way that screen would show up is if the phone was remotely disabled. I can't think of anything else to do. I tried flashing the rollback OTA in this thread in the stock recovery through ADB but it errors out.
