To @badabing2003 and @roirraW "edor" ehT, I had the EXACT same experience with transferring watch (Fail after fail after fail). I wonder if it has to do with the same phone being used to "transfer" from one new ROM to the next that it fails EVERY time. I bet the function was meant for a brand new hardware phone knowing Google.

I am in the same boat as you when it comes to buying a pixel moving forward. I will probably wait for the Pixel 10 since the new processor is TSMC. But even saying that, the whack a mole by Google of their most dedicated base is pissing me off. I was able to save a TON of money using the Nexus/Pixel devices by all the hardware/software/firmware driver tinkering. I love it. I loved when I was able to get calls/text/internet in 2009 on the Google Nexus One. I was paying $2.99 per month because of AOSP.

I was able to give the finger to verizon on 4g when they wouldn't allow hotspot and used VPN and VPN tethering since 2011. I have NEVER paid for data bucket plans nor for hotspot "provisioning" (see OS flag).

I was able to use hangouts until Google F'ed it up in 2013.

Since 2013 I have wanted a solution where anyone with a phone number can send high quality photos, videos, and text without having to download a new app ecosystem where I can just hit send and give it. Google is failing at this big time. Just make it open source or easily available API that doesn't require server side google checks tied to app store or security check APIs. Let us make that call on "security" and "Safety".

Root based OS adblocking as well. Being able to take a phone with making wallet payments without my wallet.

The more Google fights that, the more they will lose the best of us in my humble opinion.

EDIT: Now that Apple is sort of giving up their biggest strength in RCS in iMessage, I am hoping they move to having a watch fully independent of a phone. I could see rocking both ecosystems. A watch that does all the phone functions for the most part and a phone that can be a tinkering tool. Similar to my PC that runs multiple OS while I have a laptop that does more of the "remedial" tasks.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Buzzy42:
I'm kind of curious reading this thread, is the June update "safe" for most Pixel 8 Pros? Are the problems reported kind of individual flukiness or are there a lot of issues with root, LSPosed, etc? There don't seem to be a lot of reports so I don't know if lots of people are updating fine and not reporting, or if it's just a complete mess. (it seems like the latter)

I don't particularly care at this moment about Google Pay (or whatever it's called this week) but I would like to keep root+LSPosed working if possible.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ThatOneGuyOverThere:
Anyone get the june update with verizon (technically im us mobile warp network)?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't recall anyone but me having problems, and the only problem I had was temporary corruption which became permanent corruption, so I had to factory reset. I don't think the issue has anything to do with this OTA, though - it's happened randomly to various people (including me) on the previous Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro. It's just one of those chances you have to take if you want to be rooted - unplanned for things happen.

No idea what exactly the cause of the issue is, otherwise we could hopefully prevent it.

I think the only thing with LSposed is that the "official" 1.9.2 technically still works, but you can't open the LSposed Manager, so if you have to enable a new LSposed module, you're out of luck.

There are at least two forks of LSposed - both with a v1.9.3, but the most recently updated one is this, and is what I'm using with no issues:

Releases · mywalkb/LSPosed_mod

I am also on the latest Canary (366) of the Pixel Xpert Magisk Module (which also requires LSposed), if you use that.

Is it just me, or the modem is really terrible in this version?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Update regarding the Alarm sync setting in the phone's Clock app:

Despite everything, I can't get the alarm that's set on my Pixel 8 Pro to go off on my watch. There is only one sub-setting for the Alarm sync toggle besides which watch to sync with, which is "Alarm rings on". I have it set to the default of "Adaptive ringing", as I'm sure I had previously, since I wear the watch all the time.

Turns out that right now it doesn't matter whether I have it set to "Adaptive ringing" or "Watch and phone". Either way, the alarm still only goes off on my phone.

I checked every setting, tried enabling every setting, tried disabling every setting, disabled sync in both the Clock and Watch apps, rebooted, re-enabled. Nothing is making any difference.

I am so frustrated. It shouldn't be this hard to get the phone and watch to behave the way it did until I had to factory reset the phone, and then the watch. I didn't have any of this trouble when I set the phone and watch up last year.

No issues here.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
Sorry if I didn't read properly (I've been awake about 40 hours) but did you by any chance use google one to back up your watch settings?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's okay! Whew, 32 hours is about the absolute limit for me - or at least was 35 years ago. I'd say 18-20 hours is maximum for me now. LOL!

Yes, I did use Google One to back up my watch. Do you think it's worth trying resetting the watch yet again after having gotten rid of that backup?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
😥 yeah. I feel like s***t. Sorry, was just not thinking out loud
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I hope you can get tons of rest and feel much better.

Another update: My wife's Pixel Watch 2 rang the alarm did, but so did her Pixel 8 Pro - and it shouldn't do that, either. This was the first time that's happened.

Another Android oddity that isn't necessarily related: I noticed that today, for the first time, my Google Home notifications for my camera alerts come twice for each one. When I told my wife, she said she's been noticing that, too.

Her watch is still on the May update, her P8P is on June. In my case, both are updated to June. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone having issues with Files app freezing on latest firmware? Clear app cache and data resolves the issue but after some time issue exists again
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ghisy:
Oh so you switched to the v1.9.3 fork from v1.9.2? Can you share how you did it please? I'm not sure if I should flash the newest one, reboot then uninstall the old one? I feel like LSPosed can be finicky at times.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
Yeah, tech is great when it works, but a massive pita when it screws up, I know

Something weird happening with my files app, or at least a file sync process. I have a lot of stuff syncing to/from cloud service, my NAS, all over the place.

Now I'm facing a constant syncing of a folder called 'MobileBackup' which has seemingly infinite folders labelled '01', '02', etc.

I ran Microsoft defender app through my phone, checked google play protect. I've got a lot of stuff syncing from Google drive and back, as well as OneDrive and my DiskStation

As I said totally probably unrelated, but I thought I'd bring it up.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
remove the old mod in Magisk, reboot, flash the new mod and reboot or just flash the new mod and see if it just updates the old one.

Which it should. Because it was different Devs, I did the first way
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
What @HipKat said. I was starting from scratch since I had to factory reset due to likely unfixable corruption, so I didn't have to uninstall anything.

However, if I were on 1.9.2 upgrading to 1.9.3 from another developer, I would think I could uninstall 1.9.2 through Magisk Manager, install 1.9.3 right away, since both uninstalling and installing requires a reboot and they're different entries because of the different developers. You should be able to only reboot once you've already told it to do both uninstalling/installing.

But either way should work fine.

I did figure out about my own phone getting two sets of Google Home notifications for my cameras. User error - I didn't notice one set was generated by my wife's account, which she let me add while I was trying to figure out how to get to:

Log into the Nest app

Sign in to the Nest app in your web browser with your Google Account or non-migrated Nest Account. Connect your Nest Thermostats, Nest Cams, Nest Doorbell, or Nest devices and add Nest Aware to one or more devices.

home.nest.com

in a web browser since after all these years, Google hasn't figured out that via the app it's pure hell trying to adjust my manual schedule 1 degree at a time, with three different types of schedules for different parts of the week. It's not even any better on my 12 inch Samsung tablet since the Nest app then presents the scheduling in a very relatively tiny portion of the screen, instead of using the whole screen like on the phone. I know I could probably override the phone/tablet treatment, but I don't want to have to micromanage everything.

That would only solve part of the issue, anyway, since trying to drag temperatures on the scheduling still has other issues, whereas in the web interface it gives you discreet up and down arrows to easily go one degree at a time.

I tried the learning portion of the thermostat a year and a half, but it definitely didn't behave satisfactorily for us, but it's probably just not a good fit for our needs where it might be much better for other people.

Woah! It sucks when there's something we can't make sense of or easily relate to something in particular. I hope you eventually figure it out, and hopefully sooner than later.

My wife just recently figured out for us both why something in our home hadn't been working. We've had a problem with this one kitchen appliance at least one or two maximum times per year, and without going into details, the solution made perfect sense once she found it out and shared it with me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ghisy:
I did the same as you and it updated fine, thanks! At least, 1.9.3 is compatible with Android 15 so that's one less thing to worry about when it arrives in Sept or Oct.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, check this out. So I mentioned trying to get onto the web interface for my Nest thermostat, which I've done from my phone, computer, and tablet for years without issue. The other day, no matter what device or browser I tried, I wasn't having any luck logging in, even with my wife's credentials, which definitely worked in Chrome on her Pixel 8 Pro.

Finally, today I tried Microsoft Edge, and it worked the first time for the Nest web interface on both my computer and my phone. I confirmed again, it still doesn't work in Google Chrome on either device. So strange...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] fil3s:
Me trying to read with poor eyesight. Yeah, I am a fan of pretty much any device that connects to the internet. There have been a lot of times I've wanted to snap my phone in half out of frustration.

I like to think I've been around technology long enough to have an understanding of how to maintain a device, trying locked bootloader, keeping apps, system etc up to date. As I'm typing this, I'm noticing the gboard lag. I am fairly satisfied with tech in 2024. But overall, I'll be glad in 2 years or so when I may have a more user friendly experience.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jcp2:
any reason you don't just use the nest app? Just curious.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, see below. 😁

Short or reworded version is that in the Nest app, it is too difficult to drag the heating and cooling temperatures when changing my manual schedule one degree at a time.

When dragging, it jumps to easily in larger chunks of degrees. For that matter, it even "sticks" when trying to start dragging, I suppose to keep someone from accidentally changing it if they didn't mean to, so you have to drag farther than you want to on order to get it started changing, by which point, it's moved farther than you want.

Even further, I'm guessing that when you have multiple temperature changed scheduled at least two times a day that when you're trying to drag one, that it sticks again when it reached the same level as the other schedule on the same day. That's just a guess, all I know is that it sticks while dragging way too often while changing the schedule.

I only have two different temperature changes scheduled most days, one morning and bedtime, and only one scheduled in the morning some days.

For manually changing the temperature right now, it's easy to use the Nest app, but for manual scheduling, it's horrible. I had a cheap WiFi but otherwise dumb thermostat at our old place, and it worked much better than Nest's app for manual scheduling.

At least Nest (via app or web interface) lets you copy and paste one day's schedule to other days, so when that applies, it saves some work, but that's the same as with my previous thermostat.

Of course, another big plus of both my thermostat and smoke/CO detector in Google's ecosystem is that the latter can shut down the former automatically if it detects something.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] jcp2:
I've used bluestacks for windows and used the nest app via bluestacks. It's way easier to do it on the big screen of the PC
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
Migrate all your nest stuff to the Google home app? I got a popup to do that like a year ago. Now everything is in one place. There's an up and down button for the temp. You can change it in degree increments.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Not Bluestacks, but I have Android x86 running in Hyper-V all the time, and it also failed to work (through Chrome was all I tried there), and I know I've been able to do so there before.

If I get around to it, I'll test Microsoft Edge on that Android x86 virtual machine and confirm that it also works there, in addition to my phone and physical computer.

I know I've used the website in Chrome on the Pixel 8 Pro previously without trouble at least several times since I got it. I have no hint what the trouble could be now.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I can access my Nest thermostat in the Home app as well, I still don't see any way of adjusting the schedule there in the Home app (only the ability to turn Learning on, which doesn't work well for our needs). But yes, if I were only interested in the one degree increments for what the thermostat is set to "now", I could do that there as well, although it doesn't improve over the Nest app for that, as the app also has up/down buttons for one-degree at a time adjustments to the current settings (not schedule).

If you have found a way of adjusting the manual Monday through Sunday schedule(s) of it through the Home app, please let me know because I'm not finding it. I could set up automations through the home app for that sort of thing, but that adds complexity to it that I don't need, since I want to access each individual day's schedule all on one screen like in the app and website.

Thank you, anyway, regardless.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Dopamin3:
Just got the 8 Pro and I'd like to root + custom kernel on stock QPR3.

After a lot of reading it seems like Google is laying down the hammer, and RCS and Google Wallet seem to be pain points. Is there a sure fire way to be stock + rooted (whether Magisk, a Magisk fork, Apatch, etc...) and have RCS and Google Wallet working? Or basically you just have to give up those features in order to live the unlocked bootloader / root life?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
From what I've seen others say, the only surefire way to get RCS working is through APatch, which I know nothing about except it's either a complete or partial replacement for Magisk, but I've been paying attention to what little information happens to come across here.

From what I recall, the downside of APatch is that you can't pass both basic or device integrity - one or the other,I forget which, but because of that you can't use things that depend on both of those passing.

Someone else who knows more, please clarify since I've only recently seen a few posts in this thread about APatch versus Magisk.

With Magisk and what I have written in my first paste post about Play Integrity, you definitely can pass Basic and Device Integrity, and along with configuring the DenyList in Magisk Manager, I can use banking apps and other apps that look for those, but from what others are saying, I wouldn't be able to use RCS.

I hardly touch Wallet, and I use Google Chat primarily, and Google Voice for everything else, so I haven't had an opportunity to notice any RCS or lack of RCS capability.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable fills in anything I've gotten wrong or incomplete.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Just to add on....after you flash the old boot image you need to flash a newer boot image afterwards so the bootloader recognizes an update. That should get rid of the corrupt message.

The above refers to the red eio corruptions message.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] trimax84:
I have "Always require confirmation" already checked off. I think it might be app dependent? Not a big deal, just an annoyance I suppose.

Also, thanks for the tip about screen resolution. Didn't notice but mine too was the lower option. Not sure my eyes can tell the difference though. upped it anyway
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
AH! Thank you. DOH! I've got so much going on today between my work and multitasking with the new devices, I spaced out and forgot to include that.

Edit: Added a quote of your post to my post that you were replying to.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I agree that they should at least prompt you for which resolution you want, and telling how to change back and forth if you want.

I didn't even remember that on my Pixel 7 Pro, I had the 1080p resolution selected for who knows how long. I know I deliberately did it at the time, but I just happened to come across it again in the last week. I'll run my P8P at the highest resolution to start, though.

Thanks for the heads up!

for those of who that are rooted - can you download the EX Kernel manager app and lmk if all CPUs are online?

mine shows one is offline - despite any settings changes I make.

Want to see if it's hardware issue and need to return or something else?

See below:

Thanks.

EDIT: even when CPU temp is around 30, it still shows offline.

Is this part of the throttling that was discovered on Tensor G3?

Not sure if this has been mentioned (apologies if it has), but just saw another confirmation that Platform Tools 34.0.4 does not appear to wipe the device when you intend to do so. So if you need to flash and wipe, probably best to stick with 33.0.3 unless you are on a Mac. I believe Macs have problems with fastbootd when using 33.0.3.

Hopefully I should be all set tomorrow after T-Mobile finishes with my unlock request. I guess it takes 24 hours to process. Phone is awesome so far.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow. This is the first time I've allowed the first time setup (after unlocking the bootloader) to grab everything from the old phone. Usually I only restore from the Google One Backup via Wi-Fi. Device to Device restore took THAT long, and it still wasn't really done installing all my apps?

I swear, it feels like it took way longer to do this way than just over Wi-Fi. Plus, maybe the phone(s) get hotter, too.

Thoughts? Opinions?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
So, what version should we flash the rooted boot image with? Only asking because I got the following error when flashing the Oct image on 33.0.3:

Sending sparse 'super' 1/1 FAILED (Sparse file is too large or invalid)

Flashing on 34.0.4 fixed the issue, but boy I was confused. Device was wiped too, but that could've happened during the failed flashings on 33.0.3.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
Guys, stop using the older builds. They work differently.

I don't want to see 33 get recommended anymore.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'll tell the truth. I've been using 34.0.4 for months with no problems. But, I haven't been trying to wipe with it, like some users found out doesn't work.

The other detail I'll admit is I've been sideloading the OTA. Twice. Then I only flash the Magisk'd init_boot.img once, so I have a secondary slot that's also up-to-date, but isn't rooted...just in case.

I know...I don't have any of that in the directions...yet. I've been busy for months.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Are you on a Mac by chance?

33.0.3 doesn't seem to be working properly for those on Macs. So if you are using a Mac you should use 34.0.4. Of course, 34.0.4 seems to not be able to wipe properly.

For Windows, 33.0.3 should be fine and it will wipe if directed to, unlike 34.0.4. If you don't need to wipe, 34.0.4 seems to be fine when using Windows.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] stu5797:
Thanks for all you do op! This is awesome coming from Samsung. I have my phone all rooted and pass the safety checks with version 1.3 but for some reason my Microsoft outlook is detecting root. Any extra ideas to get this app hidden? Of course I hid it in magisk along with all Microsoft apps.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] WorldOfJohnboy:
It's on October, so, I can try flashing Sept. boot.img, but do I flash October's boot right after that? (also, do I just flash boot.img or is it init_boot.img?)

The full message is: Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH

I flashed-all on the other slot so far.. still getting the message when my phone turns on, and it's annoying because I have to hit the power button to continue booting
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome! Glad we can all help. Hmmmm, I don't have any ideas yet about Outlook. I may have to install it (been a long time) and try some things. Try wiping the cache and data for the Outlook app after having hid root for it in Magisk? Have you hidden Magisk itself (renamed the app from Magisk's settings)? Then reboot, try Outlook again.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, boot.img, not init_boot.img. I can't remember regarding right after or not, so I will defer to @Lughnasadh or whoever else knows.

If the very worst happens, it'll go back to normal after November's update comes out (or another later October one, if that happens). Happened to me, and the next update solved without doing anything special.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
THIS is a fact!! It's driven me crazy since I first installed my Thermostat 4 years ago!

You can't. Only through the Nest app.

I should say, I'm an area manager for a Dish Network RSP and we've been installing Google/Nest products for about 6 years now
