Bluetooth working fine. Alt least in a 2016 Ford Fiesta and a 2017 Ford Transit. My DOSS speakers are working as well.

When I initially installed DP2 I restored the Bluetooth pairings from the Google Backup, and the cars would not connect. So I deleted all pairings, restarted the phone (and the cars), re-paired them and had no problems since then.

There is a mega Bluetooth thread on the Google support site about Bluetooth problems. One thing I noticed is there is a huge number of Subaru owners in it. FWIW my wife's is a Bluetooth nightmare also.

And Android Bluetooth has always been sub par, I think you and my wife are stuck between two sub par systems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jamsoolee:
Yup, exactly what I'm getting.

Hmm, I'll go take a look at it. Had absolutely no issues when I was on 8.1, but hopefully someone has some workaround over there.

Oddly for me, I've never had issues with Android BT, this would be my first issue I've encountered.

Tried clearing and repairing and still no worky :(

Soooo, I unrooted my phone (flashed May update with -w removed), booted up, made sure no root, good to go. I let it sit for a bit then checked updates. Nothing. Rebooted, tried again. Nothing. I opted in on Tuesday. Any reason why it still might not show up? Or am I just being impatient and it will popup soon?

Nope Samsung has to update the app it never worked on dp1 either....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blueren:
It takes about a second for the phone to unlock using the finger print scanner in dp2. Anyone else? (With the always on display turned off)

Edit - it's not just the finger print scanner. The screen takes a second longer to turn on. Happens even while pressing the power button.

what i have noticed about DP2 in terms of performance

1. Seems to have better ram management. Less reloads

2. restarts faster

3. no readl hick-ups

4. seems real slow to wake from off screen.

ANyone else have comments?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BabelHuber:
Not exactly the same: With my Audi A4 B9 with MMI+, I have to first start the engine and then turn on bluetooth. When I first turn on BT, only telephone and SMS work, but I cannot play back music from the phone (car says it is searching for a media player).

Apart from this, everything works.

On Oreo, I had to turn on BT first, then start the engine. Otherwise the car wouldn't always find my phone. So now it's just vice versa, I can live with this.

Anyone having issues with LastPass not authenticating fingerprints after a while? I can unlock the phone just fine with a fingerprint, but LastPass just keeps asking for it. After a reboot it works for a few minutes then stops again
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Finally flashed last night. Wow, I lerve P! I think this is the best full OS update in a long time. And so far, pretty much everything works! All the apps I've opened work fine. I haven't gotten to all of them yet though. But even my banking app works. My hearing aid app works great, even though I get the libraries error. That would have been a deal breaker.

My Gear S3 works perfectly. Bluetooth is working MUCH better than on O. Like, having it with full phone function for the S3, then getting in my Pathfinder, I used to have to go into Bluetooth settings and reconnect the phone piece for the truck. Now it hands off perfectly. That makes me soooo happy by itself. I really dig being able to answer and decline calls on my watch, but having to change it in settings literally every time I get in and out of my truck was stupid. I haven't checked if media works yet in my truck, but considering the above, I'm not worried about that.

The only problem I've run into so far is, I did the fix for showing the temp on the AOD, but since re-enabling Google and updating it, my Google feed doesn't load anything. Anyone know how to fix that? Also, when I reboot, the temp disappears again anyway. So, anyone looking to do the fix without doing a factory reset, you may just wait until Google actually fixes it.

Now to root again.

Only app that hasn't worked for me so far is sound hound. Immediate fc. Other than that, it's been smooth sailing.

So, having problems rooting. I booted twrp.img, flashed the twrp.zip, rebooted into twrp, flashed the flash kernel for P, magisk 16.4, the reboot system. It gets stuck at the Google logo and that's as far as it goes... I let it sit for about 15 minutes. Any ideas here? I did this twice (re-flashed P with no -w in between).

Is anyone having an issue with the setting for Turn wifi on automatically not working on DP2? Basically I have the setting on, I've toggled it on and off, even made sure all my location services relating to wifi were on. The issue started back up on DP1 for me but I haven't seen any mention of it so I assumed it was an isolated thing. But after updating to DP2 the issue is still there so I'm wondering; is anyone else having this issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jip:
Except muy Gear S3, everything works fine here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Go back to 8.1, fully setup your gear, then flash/OTA back to P. I had mine all setup then flashed to P, no problems at all with my s3. If you have to set it up on P, it won't. So, no clean flash/factory reset for us gear users...

If I remember correctly, the Android O beta also had a very slow wake from lock. It sucked, but was definitely not an issue on release.

Has anyone had any luck with Magisk 16.3? Also, can I flash Magisk without flashing a kernel? What are the downsides it so? I cannot seem to get my phone rooted. I keep getting stuck at the Google logo... I'm getting back by flashing P without the -w. I don't want to keep doing that though. But, I REALLY want root lol. Let me know!

Anyone know of an Android P Launcher that is based on the new Pixel Launcher with custom icon support?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Reflash it removing the -w. Copy 16.4 over, not .3. Boot to TWRP and install the zip. That's it. You don't need a kernel for root. Passes Safteynet just fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I tried that. Didn't work. I've just been shooting around trying to figure something out. My phone on P will absolutely NOT root... I've tried several times, several different ways.

I did a dirty flash from O, so, I guess I'll have to do a factory reset... I'll have to go back to O to do it though, so I can setup my Gear S3 first so it works on P. Ugh...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SquallLHeart:
i was using DP1 as a daily ever since it came out... DP2 is even more refined... so.. dunno what your issue is.

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

I did a dirty flash from DP1, temporarily booted TWRP to flash magisk and rooted fine. It was when I tried to install TWRP that it threw me into a bootloop afterwards.

As far as coming from O, probably better to do a fresh install. if you're going to have to reset and lose your data, might as well flash DP2.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] john7760:
I've used DP1 since release as a daily driver and I have never had any issues (other than self inflicted lol). I believe most people experiencing issues may have flashed dirty which is a big risk going to a new OS. I even went clean coming from DP1 just to be safe.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] annoyingduck:
Anyone know if Greenify is working on DP2? Battery life without it is less than stellar on DP2 coming from Oreo with Greenify & Root. I'm currently stock DP2 rooted, but thought I saw a post saying Greenify caused a bootloop (or maybe the Magisk module), not sure.

To go back to 8.1 I have to cancel my subscription as beta tester from Google, receive via OTA version 8.1, set the Gear, and re-enroll in the Google page to be a tester again so I will receive version 9 via OTA again?

Yep. You can do that, or you can flash back to O. That's what I just did. No issues. Going to setup my phone and apps and go back to P.

The temporary fix was uninstalling the Google app, disabling it, restarting, enable and update, restart. Eventually it'll disappear again though.

Curiosity finally got me. Woke up, backed up phone, and flashed P. I'm pleasantly surprised by how stable this is. The only "bugs" I've found so far is both HBO Now and Amazon Prime Video throw library errors and will not playback video. I can cast HBO Now though. Obviously can't do that with Amazon Prime Video because that company is run by children. GPS works(already used Navigation), I've had no Maps crashes, Android Auto works the same on Ford Sync 3, NFC works(bought protein bar at Walgreens), all the games I play still work, and my LG Watch Sport is still working. At this point I have no reason to go back to O. I took the beta program OTA from the May patch for Fi Carriers. No wipe.

Anybody using wifi auto on in known networks? In DP2 it's not working properly for me. Doesn't activate my deactivated wifi at home. Was working fine in 8.1. Did already reset network settings but didn't help. Surely the function is activated in settings.

Yes, I've also seen it...Nova will hopefully fix it in next beta...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hondarider525:
I have gone back and forth now multiple times. Started with a new phone, went to P. Then downgraded and rooted and set up on O. I found that most of the things that I missed from custom roms were not that necessary for me as of yet. I like plenty of the features of P, especially including the UI. Battery life has been great and so Im back on P now and probably going to hang out here until I get bored.

P is the future, and the future is bright!

Can't seem to find a better plane to ask this - is there a way to assign specific contacts/as/etc to the app drawer where the two buttons below the to row are (red outline)? And while I'm at it, is the top row of apps (green outline) most recent/most often used? Can it be manually changed?

Thanks for any ideas or help

Make sure Wi-Fi scanning is turned on in settings. Mine wasn't at first and it didn't work until I turned it on
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Donric13:
Thanks. Wifi and Bluetooth scanning is on. So i assume it's working on your device ... So it's something on my side. Had this issue also on dp1. Maybe this function interacts bad with tasker (wifi auto off after a time set when no wifi connected) on P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirodx:
After using the DP2 for a couple of days I can say that it's been really stable for me. I didn't notice any app crashing, it all seems smooth, and the battery is doing pretty well. This version of Android is really pleasant to use and quite a big step forward!

The only two issues I've had are:

- the always on display is now taking few seconds to turn on after I turn the screen off or after I receive a notification. It can be immediate or take up to five seconds, which is pretty long compared with Android O. Also like everyone else it seems the weather was displayed for not more than 5/6 hours, never reappeared since.

- My GSAM Battery Monitor Pro app doesn't seem to work anymore. I guess it's normal but I didn't see anybody else mentioning it, is it the same for you guys?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bkrickles:
I had to go back to oreo. I really liked P alot but there was some bugginess to it that I just couldn't live with. It's DD material but depending on what you use, it could cause some issues. Android Auto pretty much worked on my 18 Honda Accord but it did get wonky a couple of times and that was definitely a dealbreaker for me as I love AA and I utilize it daily. I had the textra bug that you can certainly live with but it was annoying and sometimes my media volume would mute out of nowhere.

It was definitely smoother and battery may have been better too. I liked the volume controls and the new screenshot stuff.

Overall I think P is going to be a big step up but I'm going to wait until the next iteration before I dive in again.

I opted into beta and downloaded and installed over stock oreo. Not a clean flash but I'm not sure that should matter
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RaceFaceXC:
I wouldn't think it would, just trying to see if a trend emerges. I took the OTA update after opting into beta. I don't use Textra or Android Auto but I do not have any volume issues and I can use HBO go and other streaming services, including casting functions, without issue. I remember someone posting having issues with that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Airpil:
No Any issues so far.

Oreo + OTA Update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I originally unrooted my phone then flashed P without the -w. I still didn't have really many problems. I couldn't root again to save my life, I always got stuck at the Google logo when booting. I also lost my Google feed when I disabled/re-enabled the app to show the temp on the AOD. Other than that, only one app showed the libraries error, but it still worked fine. All other apps, including banking/credit cards apps worked. Not being able to root and no Google feed were kind of deal breakers though. I'm sure I would have run into other problems too.

So, I clean flashed back to O, setup my phone and all my apps again, then took the OTA. Now everything works. My feed is back, my phone is now rooted, the only things are no temp on the AOD and the one app still shows the libraries error. Other than that, running smoothly and pretty much perfect. I won't be going back to O for sure! Love P

BT metadata not showing. This was always buggy and random, but a few quick tricks, turn BT off/on, and it would work on my cars display. Opear browser, can't swipe side to side on google news to move between pages.
