just wanted to hop in and say I was running DU, flashed stock factory images for 8.1 to both slots, accidentally wiped phone when flashing the DP1 image, booted up and got apps downloaded and whatnot, fastbooted twrp, flashed twrp, flash kernel 2.23, magisk 16.1, installed the apk from magisk zip (common folder), and all is well! adaway and v4a installed :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
2 days into using Android P on a clean install and I am noticing one real bug. Even though Ambient display is enabled, the ambient lock screen fails to turn on when pulling the phone from my pocket about 50% of the time. Double tapping the screen turns the dim lock screen back on after it flashes the homescreen for a split second.

Not a deal breaker by any means, but kind of annoying.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ArkhamKnight:
What settings do you have enabled for v4a if you don't mind me asking?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pahlerc1:
I flashed version 1.5.2 in TWRP.. chose version 2.5 and then the non materialized version... Thought I had it running but it says it isn't processing.. but it isn't asking to install driver so idk

update: flashed busybox and universal deep buffer remover and all is well
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Just started experiencing my first real "deal breaker" bug. When I open the camera app and try to take a picture, it takes 3-4 seconds for the phone to actually take the picture after hitting the shutter button. Making getting a picture in the current moment impossible. And when I hit the button to try to switch to video the camera app freezes without closing.

Oh, and while I was just trying to take a screenshot of the frozen video screen my entire phone just froze, requiring a hard reboot.

I can't live Going back to 8.1 factory image as we speak.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Interesting. Ive taken a ton of pictures this week and haven't had the happen once
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
It was fine the first day but now I'm reaching end of day 2 on Android p and this issue just started. I tried closing the camera app and clearing camera app data/rebooting and it keeps happening. Unfortunately, this will keep me on 8.1 for now.

I have rooted androi P DP1 successfully with magisk v16.1 beta. However, it failed with safetynet test. Anyone have the same issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slothdabski:
Passes here, with magisk and adb enabled
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sphinxy:
Most likely because your bootloader is still unlocked?

Shouldn't matter, magisk takes care of that

Lookout Security keeps crashing, anyone having this problem also?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TheNightman:
Try flashing a custom kernel. Had the same problem until I flashed flash kernel. Go to twrp, flash the flash kernel installer (latest version works on P preview) and twrp, reboot recovery and flash latest magisk.

If you still have problems disable your screen lock and try again. Let me know if that works for you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jmags:
A little help! I have installed Android P DP1 and have TWRP 3.2.1-2 running, but every time I try to flash Magisk v16.1 (1610), it 'successfully flashes' but Magisk is nowhere to be found when I boot up the phone. Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:

have been on P for a week now, having none of the problems you stated tho :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
That's great to hear. It looks like it's hit or miss for some people. I've gotten to a point where I need a 100% stable phone at all times, due to work. So I'll stick with 8.1 for now but will probably give Android P DP2 a try when it gets released in a month or two.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jmags:
Does anyone have Android Auto? It's build into my vehicle and I find that every time I connect it, I have to go into "accessory mode" on the phone and switch to PTP or MIDI to get the navigation and spotify working. Is there any way to force the USB usage?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sphinxy:
In developer options there is a 'usb configuration' which I think it allows you the default way to connect when connected via USB. Give that a go?

On a separate note, does anyone experience issues with trusted places working consistently?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pahlerc1:
not having any issues here thus far with Android P... it's nice having root, recovery, custom kernel, adaway and v4a... but it's just not the same without substratum
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danielrod:
Supposedly, it'll be included in DP2 but idk if that's confirmed by Google or anything so it's not 100%
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
It's been a few more days and some people have been running DP1 for nearly a week. Curious to get some updates.

How's everything on Andoird P working for you guys 5+ days in?

Specifically, in relation to issues I noticed in my short stint with Android P...

When you try opening the camera app and taking a picture, does it snap the picture instantly like it does on Oreo, or is there a 3+ second delay. Also, when you hit the video button to switch to video mode, does it properly switch to video and let you start recording or does the camera app just freeze?

Those above camera issues were what I started facing on day 3 of Android P and immediately had me switching back to Oreo. However, I'm considering giving it another go with a clean Android P install. In hopes that the camera issues were a fluke.

But, overall, I'm just curious to hear from those who have been running Android P for at least 5 days now. Are you encountering any real issues or is everything still running smooth and stable?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tlbland0426:
I've been running it since the day it came out and I have had zero issues. Been using it as a daily driver. Camera on mine works flawlessly, no lag or freezes. Honestly can't believe it's a developer preview as it has been perfectly stable for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gianton:
+1 same here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Great to hear. I may give it another go, myself.

For reference, are you rooted? Running stock kernel or a different one?

Also, I've been pleasantly surprised by developer previews for the pixel line in the past. I remember using DP2 as a 100% functional daily driver for my old Pixel XL until the final version was released.

One thing I am noticing, and I think someone else brought it up - on my VZW Pixel 2XL, the always-on display isn't always on. However, and I'm probably jumping to a not-at-all true conclusion, I swear it will turn on when I look at my screen. This isn't when I take it out of my pocket, it's when it is sitting on my desk and I haven't done anything with the phone in a while. I don't know that the 2XL has any eye motion detection, but thought I'd throw out my tin-foil-hat observation. I'm guessing it's really just a coincidence...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Yep. I'm on round 2 of a fully clean install of Android P and I'm still noticing the same thing. Occasionally, when I take the phone out of my pocket, the ambient display won't turn on until I double tap the screen. I've even tried waiting up to 30 seconds and it doesn't turn on. I'd say it works as it should 75% of the time but the other 25%, it doesn't.

However, it absolutely does not turn on if I just look at it. LOL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzyager:
LOL, thanks for setting me straight!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
While I'm at it, I am still seeing an issue with Bluetooth. Even though my phone is disconnected from my Bose Bluetooth headphones, the phone still indicates that they are connected. Meanwhile, the Bose headphones are currently powered off and in the center console of my car, which is in the garage about 100 feet away. And when I open the connected devices toggle through the volume keys and hit the "X" next to the Bose headphones, nothing happens.

What's interesting is that this bug doesn't happen with the Bluetooth connection to my car or my other Beats Bluetooth headphones. As soon as the Bluetooth is disconnected from either of those two sources, the Bluetooth indicator on the phone disappears and it no longer shows as "connected" when opening the connected devices toggle through the volume buttons. So it seems to strictly occur with the Bose headphones. And when I open Spotify and play a song right now, it plays the music through the phones speakers. So it knows that the headphones aren't connected, even though it's indicating that they are.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
As more time has passed on Android P, I really don't think rapid charging is working with the OEM charger/cable. This morning I plugged my phone into the charger when I got into my home office at 7:30AM with 58% remaining battery. It's now 8:50 and the battery is only at 87% with another "22 minutes until full". The phone says "Charging rapidly", but it very clearly is not. I noticed this same thing yesterday.

Taking 1.25 hours to charge from 58% to 100% definitely is not rapid charging. In fact, that seems to be charging at a slower rate than it does on non-fast chargers. Something is clearly screwed up here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gregzi:
I put it on charger this morning at 24% and after half an hour it was over 70... It looks that mine charge as it should?

Another thing: Did you check in developer settings under BT settings the "Maksimum connected Bluetooth devices audio devices? Do you have sometimes more than one audio device connected at once?

BTW did any of you guys played with the settings in developer options:

- BT AVRCP version

- BT Audio Codec

- BT Audio Sample Rate

- BT Audio LDAC Codec: Playback Quality

?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ozzyager:
I am having the same issue with Bluetooth - if I toggle it off and then on it disappears again. Fast charging seems to be working fine for me. However, I did have some seemingly random issues with charging when on 8.1. It would normally work, but now and then it seemed to slow down. I did see an article about a month ago that the Pixel 2XL will charge slower below certain temperatures - so maybe that is it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I have not messed with any of those Bluetooth settings. But I just checked and my "maximum connected Bluetooth audio devices is set at "1 (default). The issue with Bluetooth saying it's connected when it's not, is still only happening with my Bose Bluetooth headphones. The connection properly disappears when disconnecting from my Beats headphones and my car Bluetooth. Toggling Bluetooth on/off solves it though. Not a big deal.

Also, as for charging... oddly enough, I plugged my phone in at 52% about 30 minutes ago and it's at 92%. So looks like fast charging is working right now. I haven't changed anything since charging it yesterday. Strange...

Open Terminal

Navigate with cd +(path where you have them)

When you are in that folder (with fastboot & adb) it will work

If you have image in other folder than type the command + drag&drop
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
About a week into my fresh install of Android P DP1 and for the most part all is fine. But I'm seeing odd UI issues happen more and more frequently. For instance, while on a call with a client this morning, I was unable to leave the dialer and go to my calendar to check for appointment times. The 'Home' button wouldn't do anything. Neither would the 'back' button or the 'recent apps' button. I was able to swipe my notification panel down but then trying to click on settings or anything else would just dim the screen.

I continued through the remainder of the call then rebooted the phone and now it's back to normal. But that was quite annoying.

I'm also noticing that occasionally I'll open an app and it will get pinned to just the bottom half of the screen. When this happens I have no way of making it full screen again (dragging up on the top of the app won't do anything). Only a reboot solves this.

These issues have me considering going back to 8.1 for the time being. But until the last 2 days everything was working flawlessly (aside from my minor Bluetooth issue mentioned earlier).

Flashing P over April security patch will not remain at April security patch, it will revert to March (which is what P shipped with).

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ozzy0708:
I've got a quick question for you folks. I just got my 2 XL Verizon version the other day. I read about a workaround to have the bootloader unlocked when I boot it up, and it worked successfully. Now, with the bootloader unlocked, last night I tried downloading the Android P Dev preview and flashing the image. It tried and eventually failed citing that it needed an updated bootloader of some sort. Tried doing a sideload as well and it said something about it not being able to roll back? I don't understand why this would be a roll back considering it's newer. Would this simply be because I've got the Verizon variant and it was made for Google or what's going on here?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Pretty sure, its a 'downgrade' only since the April security update went out. Just tried sideloading the OTA myself, and got the same error. Worked fine previously. Only other reason would be as stated in the error, that the timestamp is older than the current version of O (now, not when P was released) Perhaps Google did this so as to expire it before the next build, or maybe just an oversight. In either case, the OTA is not officially supported for running the P dev preview.

You may have to update your bootloader by manually flashing it (though if you used the flash-all, it should). Also be sure that you have done fastboot flashing unlock_critical, without that, you may be prevented from updating the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ozzy0708:
Ohh, damn the luck and bad timing! Oh well, I can wait. And for the unlocking critical, will I have to relock the bootloader for that? And with THAT, will that make the ability for me to unlock it again disappear? Appreciate the help on this, by the way. That was quite the speedy response.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
No, no need to relock the bootloader. Only thing that you might not like would be the unsecure splash screen when booting the device, and possibly Google Pay and assorted apps that rely on SafetyNet not working.

I dont have the VZW variant myself, so not sure about the unlocking sticking after re-locking, have only read here and there about it on the VZW, but what I gather is, if you were able to do it (as you did) it will stay that way. I would suggest reading up a bit more to know for sure though, as I said, I dont have that variant.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It happened to me while I was on the latest beta (well from that day, I'm not sure if another beta came out since Snapchat's twitter responded about this issue), but someone on Reddit got it to work by downgrading to official 10.25.0.0 and that's worked for me so far. I'll give the beta another shot!

Edit: Yup, there was another beta update since my issue (10.30.0.0 Beta). It works!

Works fine here on P (stock kernel, no TWRP) - though I do have Magisk installed and my device passes SafetyNet. (Does Android Auto even check SafetyNet?)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Namolas:
Really loooove Android P and been running it for a while now. I do have one issue that is driving me nuts and I cannot figure out why it happens. Several times a day the swipe to unlock on the lock screen is greatly exaggerated. Like I have to swipe the entire length of the phone to get it to unlock and it takes 5 or 6 tries to finally get it.

Can't pin point when/what is causing this. Anybody else notice this or have a solution?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sasquatch006:
Anyone have success getting root and SafetyNet working? I'm able to get root with Magisk (16.3), but Safetynet fails. I figured it was because of the unlocked bootloader, so I fastbooted and relocked. When trying to reboot after that, I keep getting the red error message stating "Your device is corrupt, and can't be trusted" Hit the power button to continue, and it just stays on the white screen with the Google logo. Manually rebooting goes through the same process. Only way I've been able to resolve is to unlock the bootloader again, and flash the factory image.

I'm using the latest version of ADB/Fastboot (as far as I know).

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
No problems at all with Safteynet. Flashed the full P image minus the -w. Booted to TWRP and installed Magisk zip. Didn't have to do anything out of the ordinary.

I am on 16.1 but doubt that makes any difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sasquatch006:
Well, I installed 16.1 and initially failed Safetycheck. After a reboot, it passed with no problems. Added cards in Google Pay, as well.
