I had frame drops after June update. Then the bottom speaker was ruined, so sent the unit for repair. I also mentioned that the software was lagging.

I got a reflashed device, since then performance is buttery smooth.. Absolutely no frame drops since then (15 days now)

Factory reset will not help at all with frame drops. No point doing that. A reflash has fixed it for me ?

October update has reduced battery life slightly :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] omar_yasser:
I think if this problem continue after the November update I will reflash the device. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sasory:
Battery autonomy is still the same. Try factory reset
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMeeseeks:
I mean. Mine is pretty good. Performance ok as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] malek777:
Battery is the same for me but performance comes with some stutters using the app switcher, or when opening Android messages from the notification area. I can see the big drops in frames. Most likely a software issue. I'm waiting on that pixel 4 with the A13 bionic chip lol :p

Doggy performance with the latest update. Can't root (Verizon), or I'd go a different route. I still think manufacturers slow their devices on purpose to encourage people to upgrade... :(

Google Play Services is eating up my battery like Kim Kardashian eat d***s. 88% is consumed by Play Services as per battery start s. I'm travelling right now, and this is not funny. I did a clean install, I disabled location and scans ... I was getting 9+ hours SOT easy and now it's like 3 hours maybe with location turned off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMeeseeks:
I don't really know. That is unusual. It was just coincidence that it happened when I saw this post. I usually get about 5-6 hours SOT with 2 days of battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lywyn:
I'd recommend resetting play services and re-entering account and syncing. This can be a common issue with account syncing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sublimaze:
If you are rooted with Magisk, install one of the Google Play Services "doze" modules, go to phone Settings > Security & location > Advanced/Device admin apps and disable any Google-related app like FInd My Device, Google Pay, etc. Reboot. Then go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > Google Play Services > Battery. It should now be optimized.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 4960206:
Tried that, didn't fix. Updated to latest beta, didn't fix either. I'm planning to go back to Oreo if that will make a difference.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

I'm not rooted. Disabled Find My Device from both admin options and the service itself. Google Pay isn't available in my country anyway. Still can't enable optimize. Do I need that magisk module to enable battery optimization at this point?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sublimaze:
Switching to beta won't make any difference. I know because I've been on GPS beta channel for months, and the beta has never been permitted to doze on Android Pie. On Oreo, you could get GPS doze with Magisk modules, or by manually editing system xml files. However, both methods require root.

I understand some people can't/won't root their phones for various reasons. But without root, GPS is immune to doze hacks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'll try to root and see how it goes with gps doze hacks without configuring microsoft outlook and intune. If things go well, I'll hack outlook and intune to fool it about root status. Twrp stays encrypted nowadays anyway, so "technically" there shouldn't be a security concern.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] malek777:
I just got a replacement for my pixel and I'm already starting to notice stutters here and there after using it for 4 days. I'm not sure what's causing this issue, the s835 should be more than capable of running Android pie without any hickups. This version needs some serious optimisation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Somehow it's all fixed now. 10 hours SOT.

Rather I went back to previous settings, enabled location, enabled find my device, wifi scans etc.

I don't know what's up. Installed BBS with ADB permissions just in case it goes wild again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SteveG12543:
OTA still hasn't come through for me.. And of course I don't have anything to sideload with to test it out for myself. Wonder what's up with the delay for me.

Edit: Fixed it lol. Need to opt out of the P betas from Google. For convenience, link is https://www.google.com/android/beta#devices if anyone else was stuck in limbo like I was.

How was your replacement device vs the one you sent in? Is it newer build or older
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] malek777:
I received an older build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Alekos:
This is just my opinion from supporting many devices:

Most issues are temporary bugs. I have personally had battery drain, sever laggyness and touch-screen issues after a monthly update (Aug/Sept). All of these bugs were fixed but took approx. 3-7 days.

My daily ritual would be turning off the phone completely, turning it on and restarting into safe mode and leaving the phone in safe mode for 2-3hours (or overnight when I fell asleep).

I am not sure why this has fixed my temporary bugs, but it has. My sister's GalaxyS9 had weird battery drain and was resolved this way.

Most of these problems are temporary. I know its horrible dealing with them, but I really do feel shutting down/restarting & Safe Mode trick might help in some cases...

I stopped rooting my phone after upgrading to PIE and 95% of the time, phone runs flawlessly - but I did have those few issues that were fixed. Letting the phone "settle" is a real phenomena. Especially with latest versions of Android/iOS - this is real, and can take days/weeks to settle properly and sometimes during this period, bugs appear. Many services & apps rely on tiny constant *cloud* updates, and can change things quickly. Also, AI is now a big part of the OS on Mobile devices, and the constant monitoring and changes being made can cause many weird bugs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] b1g1an:

This is absolutely crazy to me, I just got mine recently, I thought I was doing great on battery because of how terrible my last device was but I see some of you guys getting crazy SOT here and I'm usually getting 3-4hrs a day. I'd lose my mind with that much SOT! Lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] {davros}:
Good to see that actually that's what it was. With heavy use.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
3-4 hours SOT but with how much battery left and how many hours off the charger? I can end the day with 3-4 hours too but still have 30-35% left on a light 16 hour off the charger day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hillj284:
Do you guys think that re-flashing fixes these battery and lag problems? Because my battery has become unbearable, like 4-5 hours at max. And the lag is just stupid. It takes a good 5-6 seconds for my phone to unlock using the fingerprint scanner, only if i leave my finger on it, and apps like settings take 6-7 seconds to open. I know that may sound stupid, but compared to day one its really bad
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
It's possible it'll help. Don't think it'll hurt. I've done a manual clear app cache a few times since there's no more option to do that in the storage settings.

Are you saying 4-5 hour SOT or off the charger? If it's SOT, that's very bearable (that's what I get) unless you used to get 7-8 hours regularly. What were you getting the first few months?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hillj284:
7-8 SOT, sometimes more
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah that's pretty significant even though it's still okay. I used to get 7-8 max but it literally only happened a handful times. And now my phone is 1 year old so gotta take that into consideration. I was thinking of doing a factory reset just cause I usually do it once a year but the phone's been perfectly fine. I would do it if I was you because of the lag and freezes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tbkrazeey:
Usually 100% to 20-25 is getting me to 4hrs sot pretty consistently in a 24 hour period, and that's roughly 16hrs of it on wifi. Screen off drain is great, majority of the time less then 0.5% an hour. I've also noticed battery saver doesn't even seem to work, or at least doesn't make a noticeable difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah your usage sounds just fine. You just need to use your phone more to get more SOT. I agree that battery saver doesn't seem to add much battery, if anything, compared to Oreo.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danw_oz:
Strategic timing by Google to slow phone down and make it seem like it needs upgrading, wouldn't be the first company to do this, I am experiencing the exact same thing, especially battery drain, it's insane half battery after about 4-6 hours over night when it should be doing almost nothing. And huge lags at times, still won't be upgrading to the Pixel 3XL I don't think, unless I can be convinced.

Even did a factory reset and setup the phone again, and still the same problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
50% drain overnight?! Yeah there's definitely something wrong for you. When I don't charge overnight, I "clear all" recent apps and flip it facedown to turn off AOD and I always get 0 or 1% drain. Of course though, it goes sync crazy when I wake up, a bunch of notifications go start going through, and loses probably a quick 5% during my morning routine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] arturiu:
I get avg 4% drain over night with Oct update. I believe I had 3% before that.

Same settings as during the day, no kill all, just let it stay there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danw_oz:
Started watching it real close now to see which apps are causing problems, problem is they seem to have removed some of that in pie by the looks under battery stats.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
What info are you looking for that seems to be missing?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Schroeder09:
My battery SUCKS since October update.

Has there been any developments on getting the play services magisk doze module working? I've never used it before on Oreo but if that's what's going to be required I'll use it.

better battery stats doesn't showing anything too far out of the oridinary either. Play services was high for the first couple weeks of the month, but now there are no apparent culprits and avergae drain is still 3.1%/ hr.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] danw_oz:
You used to be able to see what apps were using the battery, now it says it is unavailable, I did enable it in developer options but it doesn't stick. Was able to find two apps before, and now the battery life is much better.

I can see that something is holding locks in sleep mode/screen off, just need to work that out now

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] ptn107:
Your slots seemed to be named '_a' and '_b'. Did you notice the extra underscores in all the partitions? e.g. 'system__a' instead of 'system_a'?

You need to set your slots as 'a' and 'b' not '_a' and '_b'. Newer versions of fastboot use 'a' and 'b' and older versions use '_a' and '_b' (like my fastboot on linux prefers).

Try doing

fastboot --slot a

first before doing the flashing.

Okay. I've got two microSD's. One is 2gb microSD from Kingston and the other is 6gb microSDHC from Sandisk. I put the 6gb into my touch cruise and it did not detect it. put in the 2gb, detected instantly. I removed the 6gb, put it in the SD adaptor and put it in my Canon SD850 to test the microSD. It stated "memory card error, card locked". I checked the lock on the SD card and there was no switch on microSD. How the hell do I get the 6GB microSDHC to work?

Ps: 6Gb was fully functional in my E90. It was formatted and now does not work in the HTC.

which is a dedicated piece of software for SD cards.

But MS works ok.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jontymisra:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ---Alex---:
Have you tried to format it with that dedicated piece of software or the MS format utility?

Does your E90 read to complete card or only 2Gb?

It's the difference between SD and SDHC.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jontymisra:
The application froze, and the E90 reads the entire card.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ankuritgo:
u might have locked it with a password in the E90. there is a feature to do so that prevents one card to be used in several devices.

Hi guys,

I've done a quick search, sorry if this has been covered. I've just recently picked up a p20 pro after a couple years with Google pixel.

Really happy with it so far, the only thing is I'd like to swipe up to access the app drawer.

I know about nova launcher and converting to 'stock' android. My question is how would I keep all the features currently on EMUI with the only mod being so I can swipe up to access app drawer.

Thanks in advance
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
nope, not possible and if i have to be honest then i like it just as is without a app drawer to begin with. Nice and easy all icons on the main screen from the start but i do think that in the new Pie releases that i have seen the swipe up drawer but cant confirm.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Cee.Mass:
I know what you mean. I can't work out if it's habit or I actually prefer an app drawer. But I do find myself wanting one for some reason.

Can I hide/alter the Google search bar on EMUI or simply just move it?

Thanks again
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
i just removed my google search bar and im using the one in the google feed. I get your point tho because when i just got my p20 pro i also was missing the swipe up to get to my apps. Back then i had multiple folders on my homescreen filled with apps and i had turned off the "add app to homescreen" after install so that i had to do everything manually but in the end it takes more work this way and even had some folders with the same app which is retarded of course :)

Now i also got a couple of folders and 1 is called system where i put in all app related to the system or apps that i wont use so that the homescreen stays more clean :)

After i tried a few different roms around here, i came to the conclusion that stock rom works the best for me.

Relocking the bootloader via fastboot won't get rid of the message screen that bootloader is unlocked during bootup.

If anyone knows how to get the device back to its original firmware state, please share it with me.
