So I've owned my Pixel C since it came out, and have been a netflix user since that was made available in AU.
Its always been fine, but in the past week, when playing any show, the screen goes white, and flickers.
Youtube, and local files are all fine.....
Havent bothered to contact netflix yet, Anyone experienced this? Have reinstalled, cleared data, etc. No dice
Stock Pixel C, no mods.

I encourage you to contact them.
I did it over the weekend, and they asked for a short video and asked a few questions. They admitted that the issue lied on their end, as they selectively release updates to a small subset of devices/users to test issues before they go wider - think beta. I think the Pixel C got picked up in this beta and that they will roll out a fix shortly. I'd need to keep updating the app to wait for rectification.
Running Android O DP4, Netflix is working fine.
I upgrade to current Android O 8.0.0 and Netflix is scrambling some, but not all, videos, I get a fraction of a second of full screen then it goes scrambled. I downloaded latest from APK mirror, tried clear cache, clear data, uninstall reinstall, same problem. For example season 1 episode 1 of House of Cards.

I am having the exact same problem. Worked fine up to Android O Beta DP 3. DP4 introduced said problem. I had expected the issue to be resolved prior to official Oreo, but sadly not.

I searched around to fix this myself, and seems I need to report it to NetFlix, but all the guides end up practically nowhere in reality. On the Pixel C Android NetFlix app there is no "report" button, I click to support and it goes to browser, which does not allow me to point to a video.
I can wait for this to be fixed, I have lots of non-NetFlix media I can watch.
Amazon Prime works fine! So seems, NetFlix buggy app on Pixel C is going to cause me to watch some Amazon Prime stuff instead.
I used to have the Netflix app on my Pixel C, but it is gone now. Additionally, it can't be installed from the play store. If I try to install it via the play store web app, when I select my Pixel C it says "Not compatible with this device."
It appears Netflix way of fixing the above problem was to disallow people from using Netflix on the Pixel C.

Yep, ditto here. Not happening on my Tab S or phones.
I have the same issue, I think it is something to do with Chrome, as I also notice it when using Feedly's Chrome webview. It seems to randomly freeze, then it will be back to normal again a few seconds later. When it freezes, it is only the app that freezes, hitting the home button or dragging down the notification tray are not affected at all, not even a stutter
Same issue
Thought it was caused bydata compression turned on, but turning it off didn't help. No issues with Dolphin. Really annoying!
Same here, i get the same. This is the only issue I have found on my pixel c so far.
I have the same issue even with Opera and Android N Preview. So I bet it is not only a browser issue.

Opera is based on blink, I have never seen this in any other app, sonits likely a blink issue
It's quite clear nobody at Google uses a pixel c, as this would be fixed by now. Does this need reporting on. Android bug tracker, or chrome bug tracker?
Please contribute: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=602179
(Avoid "me too" comments, only add to the tracker useful info), star it if it affects you.)
Well I never face that issue. But I'm using ad away.

Yep. Chrome have this problem on all devices. Nexus 5, nvidia shield tablet, pixel c - exactly the same.
i get this on 'stable' chrome builds on the pixel c and used to see it often on th N9. I mainly use chrome dev and rarely if ever have this issue.

Can't confirm this. Chrome worked well on my M7. And now works without any issues on my M8. The Pixel C ist the first Device, where I've encountered this problem
It can assure you all that it is not Pixel C specific. I encounter the same issue quite often on the Nexus 6P. Not sure about the Nexus 9, that thing is just always slow and freezing all the time

Also can't confirm this, I have loads of Android devices around, none of them exhibit this behaviour, but the pixel C does it all the time, most times I use it.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me with an annoying problem with my Philips 55OLED803/12. I got the newest firmware (TPM171E: 107.1.132.0) installed.
On the Android Home screen (Oreo), where the apps channels (recommended videos etc) are, the app icons are not showing up for almost all apps (except YouTube,Netflix and Google Play Movies/Music).
There is only a grey circle where the app icon should show up. Here's what it looks like:

I've tried everything I could come up with, including:
- reinstalling the apps, clearing the cache, clearing internet cache etc
- reinstalled the whole tv
- redownloaded the newest firmware and loaded it with upgrade_loader.pkg from USB
But the icons still won't show. I looked everywhere and only found a single reddit thread with no solution. I also tried contacting Philips support and got some general information with no solution. Perhaps You guys can help
Same here on my oled pos9002, it's a philips issue.
Any news on this? I'm having same issue, in addition lately my youtube recomendations stopped refreshing itself... I wanted to install Google TV launcher but unfortunately this tv has android 8 base firmware.
HI,

I got the exact same issue for the exact same TV for the last two years. Have you found any solution to this? Philips support is telling me to reinstall the TV but I got a feeling that it will not work...
No, unfortunately no solution for this. Icons still missing. And the new google-like launcher interface is still not available in my country, so still stuck with the grey circles instead of icons.
Anyone was able to solve that issue?
Hi,
try to change the country location to GERMANY - maybe then the new launcher is installed.

I'm talking to Philips support over email right now. I'll catch you up when I've get some news.
@IAmHuha Ok so I got some response from Philips support. They basically said, "ask Google...". They couldn't do anything about it due to a compatibility issue between the apps and Android 8 and it's up to Google to fix it. So they obviously knew about the issue in the first place and could have said this waaay earlier so I didn't have to send loggfiles, reinstall the TV etc. I asked them if I would get the Google TV update and they had no idea. But later that day I got the update (I live in Sweden) so problem solved for me. Bottom line: Try Google support or wait for the Google TV update. And Philips support sucks...
Happy holidays everyone,
Hope you've seen the great news! Android 11 started it's rollout on the Taiwan firmware, build 58.1.A.0.921. looks like it's right under 1GB for the download.

Flashed the Customized RU version (non-wipe) this morning. Works great, only thing i noticed is that the animation is heavier.
Any changes to volte? How's the 120 frames for cinema pro?
Waiting for US or HK (current firmware)

Might be a stupid question, but can you share what you used to flash it? I have an AT52, and no OTA, Xperia companion also says no update, and I never seem to have much luck with the various flash tools floating around the forums lol.

This guide works like a charm, just read the full topic and you are fine.
Thanks! It worked. I do notice that all app icons on the home screens are square now. Interesting. Time to play around with it.
No 120FPS option in 4k in Cinema Pro unfortunately? I thought they stated this was added for our 1ii. Bummer.
Edit: Just found it. Turns out I am dumb lol. It is there!
One more thing I just realized: Even after several restarts, the recent app button (on the 3 button navigation bar on the bottom), does not seem to work at all.
Did it bring any screen refresh rates above 60hz? There was speculation it would although at a lower screen resolution.
Update just arrived for me
I'm unlocked UK version

That's too bad. Sony's communication about this type of thing is pretty poor
So far so good, nice update

but im depressed...
I like the 4k @120FPs... but i would like to see a Focusbracketing function in the PhotoProApp, and a software button for the shutter.
I got the update today (located in Germany and all stock). So far, I haven't noticed any changes. Do we have a comprehensive change log somewhere?

Hi, me too. But I have an issue with my WiFi connection. I use a FritzBox 7590 with WPA2 + 3. With Android 10 it worked flawlessly with the new security setting but with today's update I can't use WPA3 anymore.
Does anyone have the same issue?

Just to let you know -
I have spent last 2 hours trying to figure out with an amazon appstore helpdesk why I cannot see any apps I have purchased through this store. It was a crazy time and at the end I mentioned if it can be somehow android 12 oriented and that's what I got back:
Me: the device is on brand new android 12, it is a google device, can you check if there are known compatibility issues?
Amazon: Oh my bad. That did not cross my mind. There is an ongoing issue with Download/Access 3P Apps on Android 12 In UK/US. our team is currently working on it, I do not have an exact time, We are aware of the issue. Looks like the technical teams are also working on resolving the issue at the earliest.
I think I should stick to google play store next time. I have no access to any of the app purchased through amazon at least for now.

I've had exactly the same issue with my Pixel 5 since it upgraded to Android 12. Very frustrating.
I have managed to sideload the amazon appstore, but if I try and re-install any apps, I just get a message saying there is a purchase issue.
yeah there's bound to be compatibility issues with certain apps, particularly banking that don't work yet on 12.
Amazon works fine on my p6 pro. If your using adaway,whitelist *amazon* and boom your in.

I'm not using adaway or any ad block. And I can only see like eight apps in the entire Amazon app store right now, and it's missing most of my previous purchases.
I also spent over an hour on the phone with Audible support because that app is completely broken in android 12. Apparently no one in Audible support even knows what the Amazon app store is and kept telling me to use the play store.
Still, exactly same situation. No adblock whatsoever. No apps from Amazon works.
The problem is being worked on apparently at amazon https://www.amazonforum.com/s/quest...-appstore-not-working-after-android-12-update

they are aware of the issue at least for the last 2 weeks, but I think a bit more (I guess they had android 12 code way earlier than anyone else) and any for of contact with amazon helpdesk is ending up with absolutely nothing. amazon has a great customer service when it comes to shopping, but they have no idea when it comes to technical issues. I had to buy again few apps I need, this time from google store and they work great. of course I was told it is not their fault that my device and android version is not compatible with apps they sell. but again - it is not about compatibility of the apps they sell in amazon appstore, it is about their app is not working properly.
Found it over at Reddit:

Anyone tried flashing it yet? One will not loose widevine or other proprietory stuff when unlocking and relocking the bootloader?
Edit: Based on what I find, seems widewine level returns when relocking the bootloader. I don't have any reasons big enough for me to risk anything, so I'll wait for OTA.

Super slow though, don't know if you can download the actual ZIP. And how do you verify checksum? Would be a risk of bricking the device.
So best chance is probably ask others for mirrors, or wait for actual official release.

Flashed it, and so far things are looking good. The NAS delay (****ty NAS that spins the drives down) on loading anything seems to cause black screens and out of sync audio in the second try, but it settles down after a third try when the NAS spins the disks back.
CEC features started to work for me, which they never did before (that is Samsung's horrible implementation on their TV's), was shocked when the TV remote started working on the shield, but than i've just lost it randomly again.
Can't say i have more to report to be honest.
@PlutoDelic
Have you observed any difference in playing HEVC video? I've had problems when playing HEVC from Plex for instance, when pausing, waiting until screensaver shows up, and unpausing video, the picture is frozen some seconds ahead of time, and starts moving again when audio/ timeline gets there. Been like this for long. Would be nice if Android 11 solved it. Seems to happen for people using other media servers as well, like emby.

Hard to say, i have that issue with all files and usually blame the slow NAS disk.
@PlutoDelic
I tried remuxing a MKV that was made with MKVToolNix v55 to current version v64. And voila, the freezing issues were gone. So might actually be container related.

anyone with samsung tv's, i'm in the same boat but i have pioneer receiver between shield and tv, maybe that's the solution. for me CEC was working from 6.x firmware upto 9.0.0, now i'm restored on 8.2.2. never had the smallest glitch on cec (well, for me cec is start/stop the device and volume control, but as i pointed, volume is receiver or source==shield or xbox or vuplus duo 4k or whatever i connect to pioneer vsx-930k)
