The recents is certainly much smoother. The initial stutter/animation is now nice and smooth. It's nice to have the clear all back, but seriously all the way at the end? Scroll through everything to clear all is kinda odd. I'm curious about the new brightness algorithm as mentioned earlier. Very cool and should be nice in the final builds. Oh, and the weather works on the lockscreen with Nova launcher and the weather widget active on your home screen.

My method of updating from rooted dp2 was to fastboot boot twrp, flash magisk uninstaller, reboot bootloader, dirty flash dp3, boot device, reboot bootloader, fastboot boot twrp, flash magisk 16.4, reboot, clear data on the Playstore, reboot again. All is good, safetynet passes. I like to flash the magisk uninstaller prior to the image flash which pretty much guarantees there won't be any bootloop issues from magisk and installed modules. The downside to doing this as you have to reinstall all your modules and authorize Superuser access to all your apps again.

Running good so far. Tried to update from dp2 with fastboot (removing -w). I did something screwy and ended up on 8.1 may 5 update. No biggie. Ended up OTA, rooted and happy. Really like P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I did notice, with the OTA, it reset my UI tuner option to have the seconds showing in the time from Oreo. [emoji17]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
Where can I provide feedback on DP3? They notifications are no longer interactive once the quick settings is fully pulled down. The notifications becomes that squashed bubble. I don't like that because some notifications are hard to reach so I use a gesture to pull down the quick settings further so I can interact with the notifications.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I'm noticing scrolling performance seems worse in this build for me. Things seem to stutter more than usual
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] azpatterson3:
Not here. Seems better actually. You clean install or OTA?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
OTA. Then again, seems it may be isolated to Facebook and Chrome - two apps which are notorious for issues in the past.

If I notice it in other apps I'll try a clean flash.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwyan Benton:
Everything definitely feels smoother and more polished. My only wish is with all this new gesture stuff is that they would hide the pill when not being used like the back button and give you more screen space. Oh well, that's why I have my setup back to nav bar hidden and pie control. Love where P is going tho.

Hey, guys. I really wish to switch to the P-DP3 from 8.1.

Is it stable enough to run it on your daily driver? Any suggestions?

TBH those posts were what nudged me to jump ship to the DP3 :P

Sorry for wasting another post and not asking this directly, but the main question is this: Are there any slowdowns/lag?

Guys, flashed Dp3 from scratch via fastboot, rooted it just fine and even installed a couple of magisk modules. However, shortly after this Magisk started crashing 2/3 seconds after opening it - any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? I'll try to reinstall. Cheers.

Edit: Let it stay for an hour or so and it got fixed by itself, it seems... Thanks :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Negativezeroxxxx:
I understand it's a beta so bugs are to be expected of course but could anyone tell me any known things not working ie camera crashes or sudden reboots or anything like that? Dp3 seems very nice but coming from 8.1 and wondering if I should upgrade or wait. Or if there's a list of known bugs anywhere I can find. Thanks in advance

I installed magisk just for root and systemless host ad blocking. I tried installing some modules then rebooting caused it to get stuck on the loading screen.

So back to basic root + adaway.

What do you have installed?

Hi, at the moment everything is working fine, I'm only missing Edge plus as the module needs to be updated. Cheers

Hi. I am one of many who don't have the weather and calendar events show on their ambient and lock screens.

I tried disabling google app to remove the updates and return to the original version and reboot but it didn't work. I already have the pixel ambient services with permission to access the location (of course google app too).

Anybody knows a solution, pleaseeee!

Did it twice, once through recovery and other through bootloader. It displays for a short time then disappears permanently.

Such a bummer that it's still an issue in DP3. At least it's a cosmetic bug rather than functional.

After DP3, I'm getting the latest maps. But looks like in this version, the navigation / driving mode is unable to switch to dark UI during night times. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Powereh:
Had a right nightmare trying to get my phone back to Oreo from DP3, The OTA just wouldn't come through & the factory images I tried to flash from april/may/june just wouldn't flash at all kept throwing up errors.

So I downloaded the September 2017 factory image(first image for the P2XL) & tried flashing that through fastboot, It worked straight away :confused:

Back to Oreo now & I can send this damn thing back to Google.

Nothing but issues with this phone. Slowly but surely I am losing my love for Google.

It means i am a tester and I installed the developer preview 3 on the phone. After apps randomly crashing frequently and google being broken and and pixel launcher extremly buggy if u have more than a page i decided to go back to 8.1 and hence i opted out, but now I am not receiving the 8.1 update, which used to be instantaneous before now is taking more than 24 hours. Did that satisfy you?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EvilDobe:
Actually it did. Thank you for providing more information than "broken not fair!" I didn't realize it was my job to check your post history & get a complete understanding of everything you may have, or have not, done regarding your Pixel before deciding to assist you with your problem.

So you went to Google's page, opted into the program & now you wish to opt out. Did you try clearing cache/data on the Google Services Framework then rebooting? I know there is an issue where the device cannot be factory reset & the workaround is to remove all Google accounts from the device first. Not sure if what you're experiencing is part of that bug or if you maybe have more than Google Pixel or what your account-related situation might be. Worst case scenario you could just download the latest update from their site & flash it manually.

Anyone suddenly experienced massive stutter scrolling through home screen? Weird when we swipe to Google now page it's smooth, but return to other pages it lags like hell.

Installed nova launcher , same problem.. Massive stutter when swiping through pages
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EvilDobe:
4 pages + the Google Now page. No stutter. fwiw, I have all my animation scales set to .5x so IDK if that matters at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
A restart fixed it, but after few hours of no stutter, it came back.. Updated by opting in, so Ota.. I really don't want to factory reset lol..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
My phone doesn't ring. I was using Oreo June update, got DP3 - phone won't ring. Yesterday did clean flash and it doesn't ring.

Whenever I'm receiving calls, phone automatically goes to do not disturb and all I get is vibration, no ring.

Edit: Truecaller app to blame.

In Android DP3, Truecaller can't see incoming call numbers. So if blocking is enabled for hidden numbers, no ringtone gets through, it blocks the ringtone for all calls.

For those with no weather on ambient display, any chance you are using a custom font? I ended up flashing DP3 again, this time leaving the "- w" for a full wipe. Unlike before, I have not flashed a custom font. Weather is now showing as it should be!

Ya i just installed oreo through fastboot, problem fixed

You can via fastboot with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat script. However, if you get bugs and FC's, don't be overly surprised. Some users have, and others haven't. So roll the dice if you are so inclined :cool:

I'm starting to wonder if using adb commands to hide my NAV bar has anything to do with screwing the weather on the lockscreen. The first couple days I ran dp3 just fine with weather on lockscreen then I wanted to get rid of the pill in favor of pie control. I like the extra screen space. But the weather is gone now. It's not a big enough deal to stop using pie but I am curious. Cuz using adb to hide the NAV bar also screws with active edge. Curious now...

Severe Scrolling Stutter and Slowing down ...

Hello all ...

I'm on DP3, non rooted, stock ...

At frequent times, I face severe stutter and framerate dropping on scrolling through home screen ... And Overall slowing down of UI animations and lag in opening apps ...

Any new ideas to enable weather on lock screen ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I'm having two strange issues. Nothing huge, just annoying.

The first one is sometimes when I get a text message, the AOD will 'turn off' and the screen will go black. I can simply double-tap the screen and it wakes up, then the AOD works again though. However, sometimes when I do that the notification acts like I clicked mark as read... It happens sometimes most of the time, others hardly. Like today it's been one time. Friday and Saturday it was pretty much every time. Restarting does not help.

The other is sometimes when I plug my phone into the charger, I get a notification blinking light like I just got a message. But there's no message. I check everything. Unplugging/plugging back in does not fix, only a reboot fixes it.

Anyone else experiencing either of these? I'm hoping it's just a stupid bug that will be fixed next week when DP4 comes out.

Issues I've found thus far on dp3

1- can't clear chrome notifications when downloading pictures. They just stay in the notifications tray until I reset

2- volume controls on videos doesn't work well. While watching any video the volume buttons control the ring volume and not the media volume.

3-YouTube full screen is touching with the nsv bar constantly popping up in white.

4- THE BIGGEST ISSUE OF THEN ALL.

If you change the sound, you lose the gmail notification. It arrives in the in box but no notification
