When clicking on an app in the Play Store I do not get the usual animation to transition into the app's page. It will just snap to it without any animation at all. I had noticed this the first day I got my Pixel but thought maybe Google just made it this way for this phone. But now my friend told me that no, it's not normal, because he has the usual animations when clicking on an app. Here's a video of what I'm talking about:

Does anyone know anything about this? Will ask Google support if not.
Thanks!
Edit: A factory reset fixed it. So weird.. thanks everyone!
Did you enable Developer Options and tweak animation speeds? I confirmed that I see the animation. The app's icon floats up and the rest of the app page animates in.

Animation speeds have always been set at the stock 1x
Have you tried turning off animations in the developer options, rebooting then turning them back on to 1x just to see if that kicks something loose.

Just tried that, no go
Just chatted with Google support wasn't very helpful. Basically I was told I'd be sent an email to escalate it to a specialist team or something.

I think these issues started after I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, though I can't remember.
I originally turned off haptic keyboard feedback but then decided to try again the other day. It doesn't matter what the setting is in keyboard options, there is no haptics. I can still feel the phone vibrate when I unlock it or get a message though.
And I'm not sure how I lost the CRT screen-off animation. Any ideas on how I can get it back?

For the screen off animation, go to Developer options in Settings and set the Windows animation scale to "Animation scale 1x". See if that helps.
same here except I'm not rooted or anything

Great, thanks. I was messing around in Dev options, thought I had reversed everything though.
Still don't have any keyboard haptics though, any ideas?
Hey everyone,
So while the guy at the sprint store was activating my Optimus G I noticed awesome screen off animation. Now that its a couple days later and all my settings are set up, home screen ect. I noticed that the screen off animation is none existent, it just shuts off like a normal screen. I looked everywhere in the settings to see maybe if I disabled it but cant find it anywhere. Is there something I did by accident or am I missing something here?? Any advice would help.
Thanks for your time,
Tim

Its actually really simple go to the lock screen settings and select which screen effect you want.
Yep what he said ^ Under Lock screen/screen effects. Dewdrop is pretty badass. This is just another feature I love about LG's UI.

Screen off animation. Not screen unlock animation.
It changes the screen off animation as well if I'm not mistaken.
Edit: Just kidding maybe it doesn't. So in that case OP, idk how to help you lol.

Under Settings->Developer Options, are your Window & Transition Animation Scales x1.0?

Thanks for this, wondered what had happened to mine also...strange this would affect it with such a power house lol. Ohwell I like the way my G feels with them set at .5 but good to know.
Hi,
I was using Google Chrome on my G3 (v5.0, not rooted) and when I opened a link in a new tab nothing happened, I don't remember if an animation used to happen showing a tab in the bottom opening in the background but this animation is present on the Nexus 5 and on my rooted LG Nitro HD (flashed with CM for v4.4.4).
And when I press the square button to see the running apps I don't see my newly opened tab at the very beginning then directly it appears.
Tried clearing Chrome's cache and rebooting my phone nothing changed.
Can you try it and help if it's a problem?
Thanks,
Wow. I would return the phone right now.
Huge flaw.

Thanks for not helping, I didn't complain anywhere in my post, but seeing this animation not working made me think about other animations maybe not working or a decrease in the smoothness of my phone.
Go to settings, access Developer options, check these: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale. These are your animations, check if some are off.
If you cant access Developer options, go to about phone and click 7 times on your Build number. After that you will be able to access Developer options.

Thanks a lot man! The Window animation scale and Transition animation scale were both off! I had Developer options enabled but I never ever messed with them... I suspect it's the battery saving feature because when it's enabled all animations are turned off so maybe it was a bug and they were not enabled after it. I didn't think about checking developer options and I started clearing all caches of chrome, home, systemui, reinstalling chrome and wasting my time.. so thank you, a G3 with no animations isn't the same
Quick question, I have seen a couple of places how to remove the white frames from around the icons.
Should be Settings > Display > Icon frames.
However in my new T-Mobile Note 7, that option is greyed out. I can't click on it to change the settings.
Has anyone else seen this? I would love some assistance.
Thanks in advance!

I think this option only works if you don't have a custom theme applied. If you switch back to the default theme, the option should be available again.
I've noticed the same thing using default thene.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't added a theme. the phone is brand new. I tried clicking on the default theme again just to make sure.
Icon frames is still unavailable.
Im having the same issue, and i got mine from tmobile

Maybe just download a frameless icon pack you like.
Having this problem too. Wonder if it's got to do with the system update that got applied on the first day?
Same possibly here. I'm on T-Mobile with default theme. I would like to remove the frame.
I have only been able to change this setting whike in easy mode (which i don't like). It is greyed out for me in standard mode as well.
Ok, I figured it out. I'm using Nova Launcher and Sammy doesn't like that. I changed to touch wiz for my launcher and suddenly Icon frames are available to change.
I changed back to Nova again afterwards, and the change stuck, so it seems to be a reasonable workaround.
Let me know if this works for you.
I don't have a custom launcher but I do have a theme. I deactivated the theme and it worked. I guess the theme locked the borders on. Sucks.
Yeah so I don't think it's launcher specific but rather theme based. Once you apply a theme it seems to lock in whatever the icon choice was. So I went back to default theme (which opened up the option again), changed to icon only, and then applied my theme again. Now it's locked again, but as icon only.
I have no theme and stock launcher and it is still greyed out. Switched to easy mode, made the change and went back and all is well now.

Has anyone had any luck removing the frames and using the Google Now Launcher? I can turn it off in TouchWiz and Easy Mode, but as soon as I switch back to Google Now Launcher they come back and the option to turn them off becomes I unavailable.
I might not mind these damned circles if it was consistent, but it only affects about half the app icons and the other half are normal. It's crazy to look at...
Yeah it seems like the only way to get them to stay TRULY off is to use touchwiz, using the standard them.
I know everyone is saying you can switch to off, then go back to what you were on - and it is "locked in off". I agree that it looks this way in the settings.
However the icons clearly have the frames around them still.
I have stuck with touchwiz for how smooth it is, but I think I am going to give up on it.
Also, the only reason why I say its smooth is because my initial setup was with "good lock" (needed to download an apk for that as it doesn't show up in store) and google now launcher and stuff - but there was a decent amount of choppiness and also the battery was not performing to my expectations. So I did a factory reset (which some people say fixes stuff like this) and sure enough, things got better. Battery better, smoothness better. However I have stuck with normal touchwiz since then... been afraid to change it since everything seems better now lol.
I hear you.
I had to try several different icon themes but i found one (that i like) that doesn't leave borders on the rest of the icons. I think it's some sort of default setting that goes unchanged when custom themes are created.
Trial and error. Good thing the Samsung theme store has a preview option. It reduces a lot of hassle.

Same here. I ended up going back to TouchWiz mostly because I couldn't stand the weird frames on some of the icons. It's not as good as the Google Now launcher, but it's good enough.
I've been searching for this answer for weeks, finally I found it, nearly started to think my device was faulty.
My option is unavailable and I have stock Rom and launcher.
But this option was available but not anymore. Can't understand why???
Hi me again what is that background check with all the blue toggles on never noticed it untill I scrolled all the way down in Dev options???
Anyone??

Hmm, hadn't seen this setting before. I really should get a better understanding of Oreo's new settings. I searched and found a reddit link highlighting the use case:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/7lbpki/android_81_feature_developer_option_background/
The comment by "well...duh" shows what this affects in Android. From the app drawer, long press Android Pay, select Battery and observe the Background activity setting. Developer Options/Background Check flips that same switch on/off.

It's there for a good few apps like play store and services and some 3rd party services
I wonder the same thing.. on a latest pixel devices "background check" is empty and on GSI builds there are some options enabled..
