Two things I immediately noticed on my Pixel 2 XL.

1 - The screen colors on Natural setting are fantastic! What a difference from Oreo. My display looks gorgeous.

2 - The display is much brighter and the adaptive brightness is much better than Oreo.

Everything works perfectly so far, no FC. Wifi perfect and bluetooth is also perfect.

I am really surprised how good this release is. I also love the new volume control.

I would like to not lose anything. Does it matter if I remove "-w" from the flash-all file?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
That'll preserve your data. However, it may have bugs from dirty flashing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] housepabldroid:
could someone post the DP2 launcher?

I installed the mod from magisk, but uninstalling it takes away the original launcher

I am unable to Unlock with Voice Match. Is this grayed out for you guys? I updated via ota and didn't do a clean install. Do you think a clean install would help?

Try clear cache to google app, than cancel the previous voice and retry.

I have no issues whit it.

I've seen it happen a few times too. A second reboot always fixes.

Can anybody tell me how about the application WeChat, Line and QuickPic. I need these applications. It's possible to use these application in the beta of Android P? Thanks in advance for answers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blcklab:
Not a big deal and app compatibility is always expected with betas.

How is you Bluetooth. I wanted to stay on P but had to go back to Oreo because my Bluetooth was so unstable.

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

How is everyone using the P Beta doing with Bluetooth? Mine keeps disconnecting or refusing to connect with my car as well as my Pixel Buds. I want to use P but had to go back to Oreo. What's the best way to install the beta, so as to avoid as many bugs as possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ridenickel9:
I have a question. What is action suggests?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
My Bluetooth is perfect! It's actually better than O as far as the phone handoff from my Gear S3 to my truck. I had to have the phone option off on my S3 because I would otherwise have to manually toggle it and my truck every time I got in and out just so I could use both. Now it works perfectly. No disconnects or anything.

I would recommend doing a factory reset on O, setting up all of your apps and such (even pairing your Bluetooth devices), then taking the OTA. That's what I did the second time. Now everything works 100%. Or, if you didn't have anything else that didn't work, like app-wise, take the OTA then factory reset. That will probably work even better.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kEvinErd:
I enrolled into the Beta program and updated to Android P DP2 via OTA last night. I'm finding the fingerprint unlock to be really slow as compared to before. I'm fully stock. Is anyone experiencing the same?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
Yes, Google increased fingerprint delay time to overcome screen flicker issue. You can find more in flash Kernel thread
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Namolas:
I haven't had any problems on DP2 and I use BT about 9 hours a day alternating between the LG Tone HBS800 and Samsung Level U Pro at work. SB360 in my truck, BK01 in the wife car when driving. Oontz Angle or JBL Flip 4 in the shower daily.

However I did have a problem twice on DP1 where my Samsung Level U Pro would disconnect and I would have to repair. Hasn't happened yet on DP2. :fingers-crossed:

I manually flashed DP2 to both slots WITH wipe and set up as a new device. I *never* dirty flash.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kEvinErd:
Thank you! Which thread exactly and what is this screen flicker issue about...?

Thats the suggested actions you get when you open the app drawer, bellow the suggested apps row
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wongster12:
Thank you for that suggestion. I did clear the cache and now I am able to select it. However, when I try to unlock with my voice the phone just flashes and doesn't unlock. When I unlock the phone the Google Assistant is open.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] housepabldroid:
the only suggestion that I can give you is try again to set the unlock with speech recognition.

Has somebody notice that Google app drain too much on android P?

i got over 1600 mAh in 24 h.. Over 30% of usage..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Anyone else using Pixel Launcher Mods? I can only get two icon packs out of like ten to work... I hit apply and nothing happens. I've set icons back to stock, rebooted, then applied, nada. One icon pack (viral) WAS working too. Also, one of the two stopped working for a bit the other day after trying to set a different pack, then trying to go back because the different one didn't work, then magically started working again... Ugh, I don't know what's going on...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danielrod:
I REALLY don't understand why they couldn't have at least made this an option that you could toggle on and off. Many other phones' screens wake up almost instantly and they're not having screen flicker issues. In the grand scheme it's not the end of the world to wait 1-2 extra seconds but it just seems like overkill to make the wake delay THAT drastic and noticeable. It's like cutting off your hand because you broke a finger.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wongster12:
I tried that again with no result. After a clean reset, I figured out the problem. The phone has to been locked for it to work. Once I made Power Button Instantly Locks, ok google was able to unlock with voice!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Upstreammiami:
I try changing colors to natural or any and it doesn't do anything also adaptive mode stop working.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Interesting. Both colors and Adaptive are working as they're supposed to for me. Like saturated is clearly very saturated and Adaptive brightness moves the slider depending of the overall lighting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] julk13:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blueren:

Is anyone experiencing issues with Google Chrome Sync? Mine is saying that it can't connect to servers (no matter which Google account I choose). I am not sure if this was happening before installing the preview...

I have rooted and installed twrp on this preview build twice. Each time it eventually has a problem with recognizing my pattern for unlock. It does this in both twrp and system. Last thing I did before it started doing this the second time was I installed busy box because root explorer promoted me. Could that be the issue? Any thoughts? I'm running stock preview 2 now without root or custom recovery. I'm a little gun-shy now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] praveen6585:
ensure that you do not have any lockscreen security on (fingerprints/pattern/pin) before using TWRP or installing any new stuff.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] $tefanDroid:
Got the same issue - AdAway could be reason on my side
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] acheney1990:
Ok so we should see preview 3 around early June.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikulec:
Yep, I hope they will push it at the same time as June security update, which should be out on 4th.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
According to their timeline it's DP3 beginning of June, DP4 end of June, DP5 end of July.

Does Android P add a Wallpaper coloured tint to the Lockscreen, Recents, and Notification Shade, or has this gone now?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kevtrysmoddin:
It applies the tiny on the lockscreen and notification she but not the recent apps screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirk:
Thanks. It's a shame this is sticking around. Some custom Oreo ROMs are introducing an option to disable it, so hopefully that will become commonplace.

Does anyone else have the issue, that the camera sometimes takes over 8sek to open after double pressing the power button?

In O it was much faster for me...

I've had a delay in the camera opening several times. It's not consistent and definitely not 8 seconds long.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lorax70:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Just noticed this but GIF sticker search for Instagram stories isn't showing up for me. I'm thinking it's because of Android P DP2. Anyone else see or not see GIF for Instagram stories?

Anyone having issues connecting to Android Auto?!? This is my major issue and haven't been able to make it work yet
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Definitely miss the Watch Later button on YouTube notifications. Pretty sure it's been missing after I installed Beta and not some YouTube update.

Also been having a weird Google Maps crashing that's happening often when I tap a location for more info. Going to try a clear data and see if that fixes it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aljarreaud:
I got problems with Snapchat... It just closes after a few seconds

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pbman1953:
This may have asked before but i didn't catch it-

If I took the P beta, should wipe out and re-load? ala factory reset. I have it but have no reset. It's working oook. I know it's a beta a not to expect perfection, ha ha.

Just wondering if a reset would help improve

Thanks

Yea, I have that issue DAILY. Camera won't even open, but I never waited 8 seconds. I just reboot and it's fine after that.

I don't seem to be having any of the issues people are reporting. Occasionally, clicking an article on Facebook will cause the app to close out, otherwise everything if flawless and smooth for me.

Yeah I have that with Facebook too. With Android P they're not doing the App Not Responding anymore too. Just going to the home screen.

Curious if anybody knows how to silence the battery usage notification for just a single app? I know I can long press to disable the notification completely but I'd still like to be alerted for all other apps.

I'm sure it's something super simple I'm missing.

That is strange. Hopefully DP3 drops soon and fixed the issue you have.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Juli112:

It will show uncertified unless you re-lock bootloader and critical.. Or until Magisk is updated for P and we can 'hide' it from the Playstore. If you re-lock your device the Playstore will show as certified. (Unless something has changed with P)
