[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matterhorn:
Chrome for the best compatibility on sites. I find Firefox best for add blocking with the add blocker plugin which stops adds and videos from auto starting. Opera is fast and allows text refomatting when zooming in. They also offer a free VPN companion app for those times when you don't want snoopers. I use all three of them.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I like Firefox, but last time I used it on Android it seemed pretty slow. But it has been a while, so maybe I'll try it again.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Large Hadron:
The Pixel 2 is powerful enough that Firefox runs OK. Not the fastest, but more flexible than most.

Chrome annoys me because it won't let me set my own startup page from the phone, and I've no interest in signing-in and linking to settings I've set from a computer (I don't use Chrome as my desktop browser anyway, and don't want to clutter my phone with the bookmark collection I have there so am not interested in syncing between devices). Edge is the same, but at least it lets me turn off the "news feed". I just dislike corporations who think they know what I should want and make it harder than it needs to be to override them.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Corduroy-21:
Firefox. Not because it's the best (although with the latest version it has improved a lot), but because it's my everyday browser and all devices sync between them.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] cswithxda:
I mix Firefox beta, chrome, and Firefox focus. At high DPI setting, regular Firefox gives me tabbed interface. Focus for quick private search. Chrome for best compatibility with tricky webpages.

I don't have objective measurements, but Focus and the latest Firefox beta feels very snappy, on Pixel 2, or 1, or even 6P.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Chrome basically because of chromesync between phone, windows and os x.

And password sync with android

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] reTARDIS:
Both my wife and I have the Pixel 2 (non-XL) and both have LG Tone bluetooth headsets. I have the 810 model and she has the 820.

After receiving the 8.1 update, both of us can pause whatever audio is playing over the headsets using the headsets play/pause controls but both cannot unpause the audio from the headset.

This is pretty frustrating for both of us as we both tend to listen to a lot of audio books and it is a very common thing to do throughout a day to pause the audio then unpause.

What's interesting though is in my car (Honda Accord) I can pause and unpause without issue from the controls and in my wife's vehicle (Nissan Rouge) it works as well.

This would point to something specific with the LG's or they type of headsets or perhaps using a combo play/pause is the issue? In my car I have a separate button to play and to pause. In my wife's Rouge, it's on-screen touch controls, not a physical button.

Has anyone else run into this issue after receiving 8.1? Has anyone found any solutions to make it work again?

I have fully removed the headset and re-added it. I did a factory reset on my headset. Rebooted the phones a number of times. It will never unpause only but will pause the audio without issue.

Edit: I tried doing a "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth" just to see if that helped and it did not reset any of my Bluetooth settings! I rebooted and tried again and it resets my Wi-Fi saved networks but my Bluetooth devices that have been or are paired persist. Has anyone else run into this?

I made a post over at Reddit about this as well.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...t_network_settings_pixel_2_nonxl_81_does_not/

Edit: I did a full factory image reinstall from the downloaded image via fastboot/adb and still have the same result.

I seem to be getting further by trying different combinations in the developer menu for the bluetooth settings. Now if the last used audio app is closed and I push play on the headset it will reopen that app. Prior to 8.1 it would do that and also start playing the audio from the last used app. It's a step in the right direction. I did find a workaround for my most used audio app which is Smart Audiobook Player under the troubleshooting settings to force pause/unpause which seems to work for just that app at least. I still cannot unpause music from the Play Music app or the Audible app though.

[Micromax A106 Unite 2] nrj1024:
Hardware specifications of Micromax Canvas A1 and Unite 2 are almost the same and both are based on MT6582 SoC. So, I was thinking about porting Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 from sprout8 to Micromax Unite 2 (A106). However, I have heard that the Android One devices use Google's device tree and thus are fundamentally different. How hard it would be to port that ROM? Should I even consider spending my time on it?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] itsmemario:
Hi there, I thought Nokia (HGD) is fast in terms of...acting...but I gathered some things that stayed unanswered until today :

1.)

I already found out that the "Glance" Screen (clock and infos) will stay "always on" while the phone is charging.

And it is called a feature ? Really !? Why on earth... @_@

No update on the official "Glance" thread by Nokia :

https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000011762

I also think this is really annoying, having to turn it off while having to charge the phone overnight.

And as it is a LCD screen, what about so called burn-in effects or ghosting ?

2.)

On lowest brightness, on a black screen, I can actually see where I touched the touchscreen, as it leaves somekind of "wobbly effect(?) for less then a second.

Is that normal ?

3.)

Why is it hard coded, that the Glance screen does not react to whatsapp notifications, but only mails or sms ?

Also no answers by Nokia :

https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000011914

4.)

The camera is "okay", and I knew it before the purchase. But seeing how others already managed to start another camera apk, with better results, makes me wonder, why Nokia did not add some more quality here.

5.)

Notification LED. Its not there, but like on many others phones, people managed to use the capacitive buttons, making em blink on notifications.

Any news on this ?

6.)

hmd-promotions.de is offline since days, but I was able to order my free Zeiss VR one before it went offline. Now, I contacted HMD global, as Id like to know when and how my ZEISS VR One will be delivered.

Anyone got the same experience here ?

Again my hope is on XDA, instead of the mobile phone manufacturer...finalizing this phone, once the bootloader gets (un)officially unlocked.

Please, try harder Nokia, you could have at least added snake. ;)
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Toedwarrior:
1. Because it is an IPS LCD screen there is no screen burn. Screen burn is problem with amoled screens

2. No idea

3. Idk why but telegram reacts with glance

4. They were working on it.

5. Need BLN supported kernel have to wait for bootloader unlock or HMD will implement it in the official kernel.

6. Idk the issue

I just want to add that i have problem with Glance. When it is on screen stutters like hell. There is a clock speed problem i think and it happened after oreo.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] cri347:
1) If you put the device with the screen facing down, Glance turns off, as well as the screen, regardless of the device is charging or not.

2) I do not have anything like that, do you exert too much pressure? maybe it's just an optical effect due to the slight fogging caused by the exudation of your fingers.

The other questions have already answered you

And if you try to contact sony they'll start telling you crap.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onlydanny:
Hi,

First of all thanks to everyone. I hope it is not a repeat query. I have searched quite a bit here and of course with my friend Google but not coming up with much. Here is my issue:

My wife's Nexus 5x is about 1 year old or so. Stock, not rooted just plain old. About a week ago, she stated that phone is heating up (not warming) when plugged in to charge. I plugged that to a another charger of Nexus 5x (I have 3 of these phones in my house hold). Same effect - it is really heating up in the back near the finger print sensor. Red charging light keeps flashing but nothing more. I even could not turn it on. I tried to boot into safe mode to no avail - can not. I opened up the whole thing to see any internal damage or may be moisture or shock - but no evidence of that either. - reseated all cables - pack it back. Still when I plugin, I do see the red flashing light and in about 2 minutes or so I can feel that it is heating up in the back and if I leave it on charger long enough (5 minutes or so) heat can be felt on the screen. In any case, I am out of warranty - LG had replaced it for boot loop issue about a year ago. :crying:

So that is my sob story. In my little opinion, this may be a hardware issue and also, this may not be a boot loop issue. I am thinking to buy a used one and replace the mobo - may be?

Any hope for this puppy? Your time, advice, kind words, directions, guidance all are very appreciated.

Regards...

Danny
