Charge fast or still 2 hours??

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
I didnt do anything, it worked 'out of the box'.

There is nothing in the release notes to indicate SafetyNet is broken (or not working) as there has been in past DP builds/betas.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Devhux:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
not after I flashed the images, re-locked it.

Android/Google Pay of recent will never work with unlocked bootloader, unless you use kernel/root workaround.

Been running it since yesterday and running pretty dang smooth for an early alpha. Have seen a few graphical glitches here and there but nothing to major. Using systemuu tuner from play store to hide some icons leaves a gap but new status bar they are working on I guess that's a minor bug. Samsung Galaxy gear app fc when trying to pair to my s3 frontier so it is useless as of right now, have submitted a bug report for it. But all in all, smooth.

If you have not already I recommend signing the change.org petition that Android authority setup to see if we get get Google to add back Sony's oms commits and support themes again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dobbs3x:
Pretty sure they don't want theme support in their developer previews. They want to work on getting the base code working. They probably will add theme support later on as long as licensing with so you is still negotiated.

can any tell me how i can flash this on my verizon version with locked bootloader? I read you can and yet i have not been able to. i keep getting error 21 :wrong footer or something of the sort. Ive googled this and I have tried all the possible fix's still nothing. any help?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You can side load it through stock recovery with adb. However, you can't go back, or move forward until the betas come out. It's your call, but I wouldn't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] poor2rican1:
well thats my thing ive been sodeloading it and i get the error i stated above. ive tried using usb 2.0, different cables, and several downloads. Still nada! maybe a link to some steps to this particular issue anyone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dobbs3x:
Intructions are on the Google developer site where you download the OTA from, make sure you download load the correct one for your device i.e. XL or non XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] poor2rican1:
I surely am and have performed this step by step many a times. Some reason this is not working this time around. The error I get in recovery is (error 21 - wrong footer. )

So I'm just looking to see if anyone has encountered this or heard of and can help with some tips or ideas

Not until the official Android P comes out and someone makes a ROM based on it for your Redmi Note 3 Kenzo.

I installed the Developer's Preview 2 today. So far, the only real issue I've noted is a panic attack from Google Photos. I'm sure there's other oddities, but it seems to be running well for the few hours I've had it installed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] doctorew:
Panic attack like the app freaked out? Or you thought you lost your pix?

Is magisk working on this dp?

Thanks!

It's not ready for prime time and daily use IMO. I run Nova. Along with many other apps, you will be getting Toast messages due to the libraries etc not all being updated by the app vendors yet. Among other annoyances at times. Will wait for better App support and no messages/app closes on the Beta before I go back. Not sure how long it will take the devs to update apps to support P entirely.

But if you want to check it out and see what is coming, it is worth the effort. I played with it for maybe 2 days, but got tired of the toast messages/errors with my daily stuff I need. So just went back to Nitrogen/root/flash kernel for my daily.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] doctorew:
Hot dog! I know what I'm doing tonight!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] myk.robinson:
Google Photos flickers , blacks out, and is unusable. My photos are secure, they all still show up just fine on the Google Photos website.

I have Magisk 16.4 installed on the stock kernel. It's working but feels it's not quite ready. It force closes from time to time, and sometimes forgets what I set to hide.

I'm running PowerAmp and MX Player with no issues. How did you install P?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
I only had it very briefly because I found that after the initial PIN entry after the first restart, it would not let me swipe up to enter a PIN on the lockscreen. It tried, but no longer how quickly I swiped up, the number pad would never stick.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RickGrimes411:
I registered for the beta and took the OTA. I had the april update on a google play version. Not unlocked or rooted, 100% stock. I dont know what happened, it booted and brought up the Android Beta message but it kept doing little quick restarts or something every few seconds. I couldnt even hit OK on the beta message or enter my pin. It was like a boot loop but a post boot boot loop. Not sure what to call it. I did manage to get the power menu up and restarted into recovery and factory reset. That fixed it. Gotta reinstall everything but it is working now. Just thought i would share in case anyone else ran into it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fiffan86:
How did you run the beta that dropped today for 2 days? I haven't seen one toast message about that. I've had a pretty much flawless experience with the current beta the last few hours.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
This is mentioned as a known issue on the beta page.

Can anyone provide the default wallpaper from DP2? Found it on some website, but with a low resolution.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] justin654:
Yeah I know. I was curious if anyone actually experienced it per the memo. I've been running it since and haven't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Oh, gotcha. I haven't but I've only been running the beta for a few hours.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chuck Talley:
I downloaded it about 12 hours ago, so far no issues, runs very smooth.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] misiokicio:
Extremely smooth... But comin from dp1.. so no issues here, dp1 was already very smooth.. but beta seems to be more polished
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dobbs3x:
Really smooth so far my two gripes so far. Text prediction or auto correct feature just seems "janky" random letters are being typed more often causing me to delete and retype. And the keyboard seems to want to minimize often on it's own while I'm typing.

Other then those annoyances it's been pretty awesome. Battery seems better imho.

Has anyone been able or gotten the ota to roll back? My banking app unfortunately doesn't work with P and keeps crashing. I use it daily so need to roll back asap.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] petercr:
Did a full clean install... The problem appears to have rectified themselves since I originally posted and both Poweramp (of which I'm a beta tester) and MX Player both work. What/why/how I don't know... :eek:

I had the toast message on beta 1, but it is gone on 2.

Is the app dashboard that shows you how've you've spent your time not active yet? I can't seem to find it and the articles i've read don't mention if it should be ready to go now or we have to wait for another release.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dan_delaney:
No real issues so far, a little bit of jankiness with video, but that could have been the youtube stream from I/O.

None of my apps have straight up not worked yet, which is much improved over the O beta.

I ran Beta 1 for 2 days not even. Haven't had time to try and run Beta 2.

Do you run Nova launcher? That had toast all the time along with several other apps I routinely use would throw toast messages randomly etc. A few of my banking apps which you basically need to be rooted/systemless with Magisk to work properly. Fingerprint unlock is picky with those apps as well. There was just general odd/goofiness while running it. Felt like a Beta...unlike OnePlus Beta's which are pretty much full functioning reliably daily drivers. Used to have Nexus/Google phones, but then switched to HTC which has the best Dev ability/support of any android phone IMHO. Lately a OnePlus 5T until I switched to VZW. Pixel 2 XL is really the only phone you can bootloader unlock and root etc...and work on the VZW network. So here I am. Miss my OnePlus 5T...if only the camera and VZW support was existing.

I will give the new one a go, but still doubt it will be good enough unless some Devs do a custom build and sort through some stuff..but that will be a long time.

Thanks

P beta is a nightmare of sluggish choppiness on the Pixel XL. Like a Galaxy after a year. Literally 3-4 seconds for apps to switch and simple system menus to load. I immediately regret this decision.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
I'm not seeing this at all. Perhaps reload? :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Ive been running beta P since it was announced. I usually regret doing any betas because on all the previous builds, the first release was always a nightmare. So far Im finding this is really fine for daily use. The only issues I have seen so far is that Snapchat no longer works, always FC, and Facebook wont update through the app store anymore, but does at least open and operate. I cant see the dashboard thingy but Im running Nova and I believe you have to be on the OEM launcher to see it. I really like how the screen learns how I use it and dims and brightens it accordingly. I also REALLY like how when I have my phone set to its DND setting at night, I get absolutely no notifications waking me up, not even the light blink. The only thing Ive found to be annoying but not a dealbreaker is that in the pulldown menu in O you could click below the wifi to choose which one to log into, now you have to actually go into settings to choose.

Dashboard is not released yet, will be released with final APIs in June or July
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Grimmmmer:
I am on OTA beta 2 and am seeing jittery scrolling everywhere and multiple seconds of delay on the keyboard popup, app switching, home screen return, share menus, etc. Cached items are obviously not as bad, but, in normal usage, things are 50x slower than immediately before the update. I am not sure how to "reload" OTA without wiping and losing a day of productivity. If only there were complete system (instead of Google-based, individual app) backups without root like iPhone users get.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
When you restart the phone I believe you have an onscreen option to leave the Beta programme, which I assume will revert you to 8.1. Apologies if that isn't the case?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BR7fan:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] techlogik:
Yeah, the list is long, add Apex Launcher and many other apps. Toast messages galore etc.

Some people might have better luck, but I had 3-4 different apps and things just became a nuisance on Beta 1. This surely isn't a OnePlus beta program. Their Beta is about 100% always before releasing it to the wild. Props to them.

Google, not so much, and isn't it supposed to start rolling out in about 4-5 months officially??

I use a few of these apps with no issues on the the p beta. Did you factory reset after flashing?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah the main hiccup I've experienced is using the "swipe up on the home button" option and holding the home and dragging left and right. Once in a while it'll get locked up and keep the cards on the screen or get stuck changing cards even though I released. A simple on and off the screen usually fixes it and right now it's a handful of times at the most.

I'm running a Android P beta as well and all I can say is that it is amazing on battery life the Adaptive battery really works very well. What is your guys's experience with adaptive battery are you guys getting really the battery life like me?

Oddly enough, I'm finding my battery life is worse(long term estimates), however I'm still making it through a full day without any issues.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Textra has an issue with dp2. It crashes when you try and delete a text.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sri4xda:
How long are you running beta? I suppose it takes time for adaptive battery to show up improvement.

Until it learns usage pattern, battery life may be worse too as it has to process data of apps usage to come up with optimal settings of CPU for various installed apps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bradmill08:
I have been running the beta since the day it was released last week. I am getting easily a day of use. That is with medium use. I highly recommend it to anybody to try the beta out I have found nothing wrong with it or any crashes on my end.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sri4xda:
How long are you using android P?

I am relatively new shifting to P beta and i am not facing drain with google.

Did you enable adaptive battery and using google feed more? I use Total launcher not default one so usage of google feed is low for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
I've been using it since it came out. Another discovery is that Google play store is using a lot of battery v
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mademan420:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Since the third beta OTA update my battery has been steadily decreasing. It is now down to an estimated 15 hours of use. This is appalling. Before I downloaded the first beta I was over 24 hours estimated battery time. Why is it that every time theres a new release, battery life suffers?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
Yes, same here. I didn't do a clean install and it is a beta; so I hope that the final version will be better together with a clean installation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lil_ith:
They are beta. They aren't optimised for battery. But 15h?? Like sot? Most I've been able to is 11h

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lil_ith:
That makes sense. Haha thankyou
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Correct. The most SOT Ive ever seen was around 7 hours.

On a side note, Im finding a lot of apps hanging up in the middle of doing things. Swiping has slowed down and overall its not as snappy as the previous two betas.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Are you talking about the gesture controls swiping? DP2 was so terrible I turned it off until DP3 was released.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Just swiping between apps and other things. I get a lot of screen freezing on latest beta. And all of a sudden I havent been getting email coming through. I got 5 hours of emails that came through when I got home from work last night. This feels more like a first beta release than a third one.

(EDIT)Disregard the below rant. Turns out my Facebook app kept getting hung up and for some reason slowing my entire system down. Finally it got updated(beta version) and everything is running smooth again.

Just updating my experience on this thread. For some reason, since the latest update, my phone has been acting crazy. Apps get hung up and wont open. Apps open when Im not even touching my phone. Android auto starts up when the phone is just sitting on my couch! Ive rebooted several times obviously and cleared cache on these apps that are acting funny but nothing helps. Honestly, the first beta was the best running out of the 4 that have been released.
