I don't know if anyone is on Google Fi here but I noticed that after installing the 11 beta my Google Fi VPN no longer seems to work. Anyone else have this experience?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tonyfiore75:
Screenshot attached (hopefully).
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
Hmm weird idk why my icons in settings show mostly white still .. hope I don't have to factory reset ugh lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] i42o:
yes i have tried to fix gpay but it does not work on dp1 even when cts profile and basicintegrity pass... i have added sq lite and busy box and have even tried the command prompt hack to edit the .db and no go..'

also cannot make bubbles work. when i enable .... and receive a message it does not come thru.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MicroMod777:
Sweet.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tonyfiore75:
Never mind. I got it fixed. I had to delete the old VPN first. Then I reapplied the Google Fi VPN and it worked. I never had to do that before so that's sort of interesting. I hope this helps someone but hopefully no one has to deal with it at all.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] imna357:
my CTS profile passes, even without Magisk...though I installed cleanslate kernel which is AWESOME even without root.

Some users are reporting Google Pay working for them:

https://www.reddit.com/r/android_be...ctless_payments_not_working_after_installing/

Maybe they have newer google play services, or just works for some banks.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
For me it's like this every time. I'm not rooted with locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adnansaeedhamed:
I have the same issue, not all icons are darked out

Don't factory rest, i already factory reseted and icons getting missed up while switching dark theme in and out, It seems a bug ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
I updated play services to latest version. Still no luck. I'll just stick to the actual card until they fix it. It was the problem on 10 beta also.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
But safetynet passes .
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
Yea
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Does the beta include the June security patch?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adnansaeedhamed:
Yes
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Thanks. Very tempted to try it....I used to try all the betas before. But maybe I'll wait 1-2 days before jumping

Anybody tried to force ANGLE in all apps yet? I wonder if there is any benefit

https://developer.android.com/preview/features/angle
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adnansaeedhamed:
While playing around, i figured it out

you just need to reapply your style or refresh it after turning on dark theme, then I got proper dark icons in settings

This worked with me, see the screenshot
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
Yeah I found out the issue, it shows up when dark theme and selecting default style in styles and wallpaper, and if selected custom style then the icons will show mostly white so it is a minor bug and should be fixed in the next beta or releases.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Juice3250:
YouTube has been glitching on the public beta. Videos will glitch around and the app will sometimes stop responding. I sent feedback after it happened.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pkgnex:
I can't get this to work. I download latest magisk manager canary, patch the factory boot.img, flash it in fastboot, and I get in a bootloader-loop... the bootloader states "no valid slot to boot" or something like that, and I can't even boot recovery - just keeps going back to bootloader. I have to flash-all the factory image with wipe to get back up and running.

What could I be doing wrong?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I can't play Reddit official apps videos I get a black full screen. Anybody can do this in beta 11?

Edit: after reboot works again. I think it's because I enabled ANGLE (Vulkan) then disabled it and it seems I had to restart.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
Same here. Also automatic dark mode doesn't work. Even if you set custom time.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Guys , can someone that's rooted on this beta would check if the small cores are running well?..

So i mean that when we are just sitting on screen are falling to 576 mhz ...

You can check through fkm , ex kernel manager or cpu float..

Thanks..

Is it just my device or is the volume level significantly lower than Android 10 on beta 1? (Lock and unlock, keyboard sounds etc...)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Soo, SD Maid causes some funky stuff to happen. When I run it, I get some error toasts for a few apps, then they disappear. Like, I have to go install them again. When I do, it's like they were never gone...

Also, is there any way to bring back app suggestions in recents? I used that a LOT. I'm really disappointed that they would remove that in favor of home screen app suggestions...

Otherwise, running good. Seems snappier even.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
Auto dark mode doesn't work. I tried from sunset to sunrise and custom time,it never changes automatically.

did you install Xposed (Xposed) Framework on Android 11?

thanks

What issue with facelock in DP4 are you referring to? I know it breaks facelock when reverting to 10. Is that the issue you're talking about?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adnansaeedhamed:
Yes, the issue isn't happening while reverting back to Android 10 Jun Telstra factory image

Am I the only one who noticed media sound is lower on 11 beta??
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] salamdiab:
yes ... me too.. i noticed that in youtube
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
It's a bug then
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] imucarmen:
Android 11 beta bricked my P4XL today. Ran fine for a few days but today it went crazy. I was using soundcloud when it happened and it was the first time I had used soundcloud since on the beta. Not sure if it's related.

Now I need to figure out how to fix it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yeah it doesnt work

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Have you tried a flash-all.bat? (If you have open bootloader)

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

To me is working (I disabled and enabled just in case yesterday)

The only thing is that I think since June Patch it's kind of smarter (I can't remember the old behaviour to be honest).

Example if you wake up and you are still in a not very high bright room. It is still in dark mode.

Once you completely wake up and go to a more bright room. I noticed that it's already in light mode

I prefer this to be honest. But let's test some more days.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fossiltkm:
Yes, with Magisk Canary.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Donric13:
Is it possible to use G-Psy with module in magisk on actual DP?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cimbajunior:
Where did you find this that it's smarter? For me it just doesn't work. Even when I'm in full darkness theme remains light. I had auto dark on for few days and nothing happens. I flashed android 11 via flash tool with factory reset.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Hi guys,

I have requested few features from google. I will appreciate if you can comment there and mark the features star to generate some interest. Only do it if you like the feature i have requested. Please find the link below to all the features i have requested.

1) Always on display Scheduling

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158846274

2) Digital wellbeing app timer slots

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158862278

3)Day/Night wallpapers

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158846288

4)Battery Care for android

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158846286

5) Ability to pin apps in Ram

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158862276

You can star it as well as comment on it. This will hopefully increase the chances of these feature generate attention. Thank you in advance.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Why would you want an AOD scheduler when you can just use motion sense and it would turn off when you place it away from you at night?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Not everyone has a pixel 4xl i guess? And it is good to have that option because that way it can be utilised by other pixel and Android one devices.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
And not everyone with a Pixel 4 enables Motion Sense. I never use it.

I also don't use AOD because of battery life.

However that could be implemented easily in Bedtime by Google.

(Recently I started using Do Not disturb when I'm in bedtime range + phone is connected to a charger)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
It will be good if you guys show support to any request feature you like. These are some essential features i could think of.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Mines are crazy:

Example 1: I would love an option to prevent Overview (recent apps) from centering the windows while scrolling them. I'd prefer not to wait for a window to center in order to be able to tap it.

Example 2: I would also like an option to make recent a vertical scrolling menu. You know like the tabs in Google Chrome. Or like it was in older android versions.

Example 3: option to completely disable left back gesture.

Example 4: an option to completely freeze an app in background. "Restricted apps" doesn't fully block an app.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Surely these are very uncommon request :D :D

I hope they at least consider the 3rd one but very less chances.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rzracer2:
Help With Canary

Took the OTA and no issues but can't root. First attempt was lazy by flashing the pre-patched image posted, attempts to boot but kicks back to the bootloader, no shown error. Then patched the boot image myself with version 765d5d97, can't find a newer version, flashed both slots but same result. Deleted Pin thinking it was encryption problem, no luck. Flash stock bootloader and it loads fine. Don't really want to reload everything, am I missing something? Thank you
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
It was raised as a suggestion to save battery during night so all that needs to be done is turn on battery saver mode via the toggle.

Seems a bit excessive when solution is already there
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Then why give scheduling for dark mode? When it can be turned off and on in one tap?

Battery saver mode restricts a lot of things. How is it excessive to ask for such a logical thing.

Android is all about automation. Have you never used Tasker?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rzracer2:
Samsung has offered this for years so Google certainly knows about it but is either lazy or doesn't feel we need it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
That is the reason i have requested it and asked people for support because that is the only way for them to notice.

At times Google hold of certain features for next android release, which is pure business.

Same issue phone won't boot with patched boot on either slot. Tried different canary versions . I read something about wiping data but this would be a new prerequisite to me. I'm all ears
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Adnansaeedhamed:
Make sure to update magisk canary manager to the latest version, simply go to magisk settings and change the update channel to canary, then update the manager.

Try to patch the boot through the latest updated magisk manager

I am attaching screenshot of my Magisk manager to check the version i am having
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rzracer2:
Yes that's the version I'm using, just tried again, long attempted boot with lots of connected/not connected sound from my win 10 box but ultimately kicks back to bootloader. I've tried all the dev previews and this never happened.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shayded:
Google pay worked for me for about 2 days then stopped working at terminals.

Very odd considering not even a reboot happened between the functional time and non-functional time. Not rooted, locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
That didn't do it. Corpse finder is the culprit. Just have to skip it when I run SD Maid.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
It happens in beta. Google is working on it to fix it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] herb9876:
[MENTION=4485845]rzracer2[/MENTION]

I did a factory reset and now the patched boot works fine. Give it a shot if your still having a problems
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Google pay now works for me. (At least the activation in the phone). I haven't tried this in a store yet.

Had to reactivate the card

Edit: and a new OTA
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Daisymae:
Are you rooted with it working or not?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
I'm not. I have a closed bootloader. But this wasn't working for me, until today's updates

Okay, am I the only one who hates that they took away app suggestions in recents? I used that all the time! Anyone else who wants it back should report it to Google.

Now, I don't suppose there is a way to get it back through root? I'm pretty certain the answer is no, but I have to ask.

I noticed a bug with third party launchers. When your in landscape and swipe home it crashes and defaults back to stock launcher.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pacman photog:
So I found some glitches.

I was rooted on beta .018.

Ota came for .020 at 1.72gbs. But it was supposed to be less than 9mb.

First it actually installed full image. Removed root of course.

But. When did ota work on root?

Also. Gpay works on .20 with unlocked bootloader and no root.

Anyone else see this?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FlatOutRU:
Yeah,same story. 1.72 gig update came in

I've installed root later and no problem here

I was very curious after your post and tried to add my card while being rooted - no problem at all. Lol (no magisk modules for gpay)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Daisymae:
Just to clarify you are rooted and Android Pay works with no SQ Lite modifications?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pacman photog:
Yes. Even no magisk installed here and tested gpay. Worked. Then put magisk on.

They broke the bootloader check it seems. As no rooted device should be able to install ota. From past experience that is lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FlatOutRU:
Yep

Doesn't look like anyone posted this issue before but Smart Unlock on my Pixelbook Go was broken with Beta 1 and appears to be fixed with Beta 1.5 now.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
What are your thoughts on Apple's support for their devices. I mean even Iphone 6 will get it, which is really good.

If not other Android OEM can do this, at least we should expect Google to increase their support. They should not have much issues with it.

What are your thoughts on this?

PS- not talking about the quality or features in the iOS 14 update.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
If you're think about the ios 14 device support, it's the 6S and not the 6. That being said, 5 years is great. I would think Google could do the same or 4 years but I'm perfectly fine with 3 years of major updates. For me, battery degradation is very real at getting close to 2 years and I would rather much spend money on a newer phone than replacing the battery on an old one. Plus swapping a new battery in comprises the IP rating.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Sorry 6s but that's commendable as well. Google should do at least 4 years.

Replacing phones battery is cheaper on iPhones if i remember. Google should provide such option. If they want to create a fan base and rise in the top 3. I'd rather replace my battery than phone given there is not much change even after two years in Flagships these days.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I agree 2 year difference in features and performance is getting less but I still felt it was worth it going from the 2 XL to the 4 XL. And you're right about the battery replacement prices too. I don't think I would've spent the $120+ or so for a battery on the 2 XL to hold off for one more year for the 5 XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
But you might've if you knew 2xl will get android 12 as well right?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Well no. The Pixel 2 XL is getting Android 11 this year. Android 12 final would come out probably September of 2021 so I would still get a Pixel 5 XL in October because the 2 XL versus 5 XL difference in performance and features would be much greater.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
I don't think the difference will be that big as you are assuming given it will probably release with a mid range chipset. What will interesting to see is how Google price it and what features they provide to compensate for the lost power
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I get phones every 2 years so I would never wait for 3 years or more either way.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
But that's your personal choice and perhaps driven by the Android ecosystem of providing updates for 2 years without you even realising. I was talking on a more general sense. Given there is not much changes in Android upgrades and even mid range phones are running smoothly for most part.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Pixel phones are getting 3 years of major upgrades and I still choose to upgrade every two years. To me, this isn't like a car I'm trying to keep past it being paid off. I'm the equivalent of someone who leases cars because they get bored of their old ones. Ironically, my car is paid off and don't plan on leasing.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] davidstjohn1:

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
I think iOS 14 blows away Android 11 in terms of features and functionality
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
How so? Majority of the newest features is just catching up to Android. Some are exactly the same and others, while modified, aren't a "blown away" modified version.
