Android O problems - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I have seen a lot of weird android O problems put up here, is it really that buggy or are their a lot of you rooting and running things that aren't necessarily tailored to O yet? Just curious, I don't have it yet but as soon as it is made available to my Pixel XL I will download it, I just want to make sure it isn't a giant bucket of bugs.

I haven't had any issues, I was able to update with OTA before Google pulled it the first time. Mine updated normally, havent had any weird reboots or behavior on my device yet.
I am unlocked running pure stock, enrolled in the beta atm

I haven't had any issues either. It's been performing very well and Bluetooth works great for me on everything I've tried it with.

I did a clean factory image. Rooted and suhide. Many of the TiBu apps had to be deleted and data restored, but that happens between different ROMs, so it's no surprise. Battery drain seems higher than PN or PixelDust, but it's too early to tell for sure. Push notifications are taking longer than on 7.1.2 for gmail, outlook, and wickr. But, no bugs so far to report.

Awesome, so I guess since I am not rooted or unlocked and not using any non android O approved apps (that I know of) I have a very small chance of bugs. Thanks. I really do appreciate it, sets my nerves at ease.

I am stock Oreo from the beta. Battery life sucks, like awful. I have done 2 fresh install too. Volume is extremely low. Tested it with my wife's pixel running N and her volume is considerably louder.

Battery life with Oreo and I don't have that great of reception.

Got Oreo on my Pixel XL via the beta.
No reports yet of problems with volume or battery life, but one of the new features "picture-in-picture", is not working for me at all. Google support have told me its a known issue and are working on it.
Like Partridge's extendable table, it's not a deal-breaker.

PiP only works with YouTube red or if you modify your nav bar to have a custom button to do it for youtube. And go to chrome watch a video in full screen then press home it'll work that way.

Not sure what's happening but when I was on dp4 and now on Oreo official the battery life has been the best it's ever been since I bought the phone back in 2016.

My experience has gotten better over the last day or so. The first 24hrs felt very janky. Since it has settled in and I'm happy with the performance.

When you guys did a fresh install did you restore all of your settings etc from the cloud? Or are you manually resetting your phone back up?

Only bug I've seen is PIP. This release has fixed my bluetooth issues(controls sometimes not working with my Jaybird X2's, Moto 360 constantly disconnecting with having issues getting it to reconnect even after reboots of phone and watch). Bluetooth issues have been my only complaint with the phone and those started for me only after the first OS update(7.?.?). I flashed the factory image and restored from cloud backup. Very happy so far.

Has anyone had notification sound problems? When I get a notification the sound plays at least twice or more.

I perform the OTA as beta program first and use it for 5-10 mins.
Later I decided to perform a facotry reset, during the wifi setup, I found that the phone cannot recognize my hidden wifi. In the end, I found that the phone could not find wifi channel 11, 12 or 13 from my router AC68U. I manually set the channel to 4 and the wifi was connected.
Last time I saw the same issue was on my Kindle Voyage.

I did the OTA and I'm pulling two days out of it with average use. ODP3 was better for me in terms of battery but hey 2 days out of a stock phone? sweeet

I set it up as a new phone, but now I encounter some issue that O is not recognizing my hidden Wifi. It was connected successfully and then I turn it to flight mode and perform a restart. Now the phone cannot see my wifi anymore... I'll downgrade to 7.1.2 and then see how it works... :crying:

installed and rooted wiped clean and having problems with phone. Freezing and rebooting on calls. anyone else?

Snapchat

Shot in the dark I guess but since I got this device, Snapchat has been terribly laggy and almost unusable. Specifically when using the keyboard for text. Sometimes when I launch it, the camera is just black for roughly 5 seconds and then the back camera comes on finally. The chat feature is very slow at times and the entire app seems to stall and crash at least once a day. Anyone else notice this?
A quick google search yielded several recent topics on various forums complaining about the same thing, all on 6.0 Marshmallow. Hopefully it's not just this device.
I'm getting this exact thing
I went through that too. Once I had to restart it to make the camera work again. My tip is do not try use volume keys until it load completely. It just frozen the app in a black screen. Isn't perfect but can be used.
It's probably not optimized as well for 6.0 yet
Snapchat hasn't been perfect for me, but I've never experienced any of those issues. The worst I get is a little delay when pressing the home button.

I can tell you guys I had this problem on my Nexus 6 on Marshmallow, it has to be something related to 6.0, I'm on a LG G4 now and snapchat runs just fine.
Kinda laggy for me too. And I can't get it to play a notification sound when I recieve snaps. I have turned it on in settings and I get a notification as normal, but no sound. Does anyone else have this problem?
Just uninstalled it from the n5x will have to limit myself to using it on n72013 it was unusable. Crashes camera failed to load then started to affect the stock camera app, would cause system crashes and could only be sorted with a reboot.
Same here its completely horrible to use of this phone. Phone ****s itself every time I try use it!

The app has been perfectly fine for me, up until the update I got yesterday. Now I see exactly what everyone is talking about....it's completely unusable now.

The past few updates have been good for me luckily.. Just don't try to send a snap while in landscape, I tried to add text and Swiftkey went all wonky and overlayed the screen even after I pressed Home, had to force close Snapchat and Swiftkey both :/
me too I have same issues the lag and so slowly for texting and even after update marshmallow update 6.0.1 the problem still the same I hope can anyone help me with issue what should to do and thanks you
So I am a power snapchat user and had this same problem and might have accidentally stumbled on a possible solution after having a login failure. I enabled the travel mode so it's not downloading constantly. I installed snapprefs and I can't explain why but it's flying now. No lag on window switching or opening the camera. I'm on 6.0.1 December rooted
Everytime I take video from Snapchat, it produces the sound "dug" at the first second of the video, never put my finger too hard on the phone so it isn't bcs of my finger knocking the screen, anybody know why?

Do you have any of these problems on your OP3?

Hello, everyone. I got my OnePlus 3 2 weeks ago. I've been having a couple of problems with it and I wanna know if any of you has the same problems. First of all, the phone is a good phone and I like it but these problems are bothering me greatly and that's why I asked for a replacement instead of a return.
The first problem was when I went on this great trip. I took like 30 pictures. My brother asked me to send him the pictures of the trip. I used Android beam to do so. While the pics were being sent, I cancelled the process because I had to leave. Guess what happened? I lost all the pictures that were being beamed. At first, I thought this was a problem with Android beam itself, but I tried Android beam with other phones, and the pictures didn't get deleted. I tried it again on my OP3, and the pics just disappeared. They disappear if you cancel the process of beaming. Can you please verify if you have this problem?
The second problem is navigation. It's very inaccurate and it got me lost multiple times. Do you have this problem?
The third problem is in YouTube. Some vids on YouTube only play in 480p even though they play up to 2k on other phones. (I know op3 only supports 1080p but I still don't get this option. My internet connection isn't the problem because it's super fast)
The phone is super fast but it's kinda stuttery and not smooth sometimes.
Also, battery life after the latest update, 3.2.1, has been really bad. It drains so fast.
Do you have any of these problems?
Thank you.

Guys, please try Android beam. Please tell me if you have the same problem or not.

Well for starters, have you messed with the phone? As in unlocked, rooted, flashed anything etc?
I'm on 3.2.1 also and my YouTube app allows me to view videos at 1080p, though it won't let me access the higher FPS videos like my OnePlus One would.
Battery life is actually pretty good considering the specs and the 3000mah battery.
No stuttering to report... The thought of it never even crossed my since I bought the OP3, it's so fast!
Yes, the GPS performance actually sucks, I don't know of OnePlus is aware are trying to fix it, but it does suck, I've had issues using Uber, Lyft, and Pokémon Go, haven't driven around or used Google Maps much yet.
I always do a fresh install of the OS whenever a new update is available, or just fresh install the updated factory image, because I root, flash other things, and change things, and I want to avoid issue, so avoid dirty flashing.

I use GPS a lot for riding my bike and Pokemon Go running, but I had no issues. But I use a custom Rom and kernel.
I use stock rom (3.2.1 with unlock bootloader and root) and use Waze every day to work. Not a single issue. Fix in 2/3 sec and never lost position. Battery life is normal, not brilliant. 04.30h SOT. Not bad. Android Bean didnt ever used. Dont need it. Youtube able to view videos in 1080 with no porblem. And the smartphone is fast and smooth. Try a factory reset to see if problem are solved

I'm not rooted and I've never missed with the phone. The YouTube problem appears with some videos only, not all of them. Battery life used to be pretty good before the latest update but the latest update made it worse. The performance problem appears clearly on Snapchat. It's very laggy on Snapchat and when recording Snapchat videos, the videos kinda stutter.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Hello, the problem arrived when you watching 60 fps movies ..
1080p/60 fps -> 480p on OP3
No problem with 30 fps movies
1080p/30 fps -> 1080p on OP3
I have same issue and I'm boring !
Had the problem with do not disturb being turned on .I had not touched the Alert Slider.Also sometimes gestures would work while my phone was in pocket(double swipe to turn on music for example.) .

HTC 10 Android 7.0 Nougat Update Issues

I upgraded to Nougat yesterday, currently facing many stability issues. Any help would be appreciated on the below problems.
* Sound is unstable, screen lock does not produce any sound
* Incoming calls are often silent, no sound comes out for some reason
* HTC Live Wallpapers disappeared, I cannot locate them
* Double tap to wake problem persists, I had this problem on 6 and still cannot fix it despite many attempts including sensors, wipe clean and 3 hard reset attempts // I had this issue when I purchased my phone back in September. After many trial and errors it somehow worked on its own. Then I got a problem on my screen and took it to the HTC Service. They told me they replaced the screen and did a software update and my DT2W no longer worked
Also missing the live wallpapers over here.
NFc is working for you? Reading any NFC tag?

I guess that's why there's a new firmware 2.41.401.4 leaked. Would explain why they halted the Roll-Out of 2.41.401.3, and seems they already working on a fix.

My HTC 10 is an unlocked US version and it seems pretty stable. After initial roll out of Android 7 on Nov 25th, we then got 2 updates(Dec and Jan) which contained bug fixes and security patches.
I guess my #htc10 has hardware issues out of the box
After the UK Nougat update my Sandisk SD card is not being recognised as external storage. Was ok before the update. I've removed & reinserted a couple of times, still no joy. Anyone experienced this?

I had the same problem. I had to remove it and reinsert into the phone.
Hey guys,
None of the issues above I ran into....Has OP tried a factory reset? Always recommended to Android devices after a big version upgrade.
Speaking of factory reset, well, I did it, and I have some other issues :
1. Camera in Pro mode, under long exposure duration, the image quality drops significantly...I am an photography amateur, so I know what I am talking about.
2. Sometimes the phone app does not recognize saved contacts. (It seems that this would be solved with 2.41.401.4)
3. Battery drains...much quicker than 1.95...before I can get 5h or + screen on time, now barely passes 4h.
I've also noticed a batterydrain. Although I've done a fresh install. Yesterday I did a complete wipe again without backup recovery. Battery seems stable now.
Since the OTA Nougat update i've had issues with instagram videos not playing whilst pictures work fine (on both 4g and wifi).
Also gmail no longer syncs automatically and i have to manually refresh to get mail.
Wiping cache partition and wiping app cache/ reinstalling the apps didn't work. I do feel like the update has somehow caused this as it was fine before.
Anyone else having these issues?
To comment on issues others have been having, my battery drain feels normal. And I have always has issues with gestures and double tap to wake not working
Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here
Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here. It brought the January security patch and also fixed all of my battery drain issues I had since the September, 2016 Android 6.1 update. I lost 2-day battery life in September, 2016.
I am finally back to 2-day battery with doze acting normally since January, 2017 update.
No extra updates or fixes yet for us in the UK. Also noticing apps will won't auto update correctly now. Getting a google play is not responding message. HTC need to sort this out asap

Android O beta as DD

Hello everybody, I just became the owner of a new 128gb Pixel XL! I am coming from a Nexus 6P. I was running the latest developer preview of O on my 6P and it worked fine for a daily driver. It performed well and I didn't have any random reboots, force closes, etc. Is the latest Pixel DP pretty solid? Would you say it could be used as a daily driver? Thanks for any input!

I've been using it as a daily driver on my Pixel XL 128GB with no issues. The only weird thing I've really noticed is that occasionally, when coming out of deep sleep, it will struggle at first, but then smooths out. Also, occasionally the Google Play Music app will show a notification, but other than that no problems. WIFI, bluetooth & LTE work as expected. I'm on Project FI and wifi calling and VoLTE while connected to a T-Mobile tower also work properly. As far as battery life goes, I consider myself a moderate user (SOT of 3hrs) and I can get through a full day without having to charge.
I went back to N.
Battery life is not good, and there are too many glitches.

Got the OTA to Android O from 7.1.2 after enrolling in the beta then got the small maintenance update (OPP2.170420.019) that fixed the Android Pay issue and I've been running fine ever since.

It's not daily driver ready
Don't listen to any one who says otherwise
Its definetly usable if you arent a power user. But there to many small glitches to make it worth it. Force closing on some apps and unable to mount on USB 3.0 ports were my most painful issues. Had to revert.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I haven't had any serious issues using O as a daily driver. I've only come across one app so far that doesn't work--Air Droid just force closes repeatedly. I finally got sick of the error messages and uninstalled it. I haven't encountered any other issues but I'm not really a power user.
I have a Pixel XL 128GB too and I would not recommend it as a daily driver, I'm rolling back to nougat today btw.
I would describe it as an advanced version of a CM/Lineage nightly, it has no major issue but it's far from being stable.
I had some overheating issue when mobile data is on, I also have fc problem with the settings app when data is on. I also noticed that battery life was much better and consistant on Nougat.
To elaborate, I tried N when it was beta on Nexus 5x, and that was awesome, stable and smooth from the get go.
O beta is just not ready. Simply isn't.
It fixed my camera problems
I am using it as daily driver since dev preview 2 is out and did not encounter any problems so far. Battery life might not be as good as Nougat but the difference is not big enough to be a problem, at least not for my usage. I was about to return my Pixel XL because I was having problems with the camera on Nougat, pictures were blurry as soon as I tried to zoom and the videos were completely out of focus all the time and this problem is gone now. If anyone else is having this problem you should try O.
I've actually found that battery life is slightly better on O than on the most recent builds of Nougat. I've also encountered no problems with the settings force closing when data is on or anything like that. If you've ever run a custom Rom like Pure Nexus O is already more stable than that. Obviously it's not going to be as stable as Nougat but it seems fine as a daily driver to me
I've been using Preview 2 since it came out no modifications. It works for what I do each day, Google Chrome, WiFi, Bluetooth, Google Play Music, NonStop Chuck Norris. Only issues I've had is it doesn't wake from sleep with OKGoogle, and I had to change my WiFi router from being hidden to connect for both 2.5 and 5Ghz. Haven't had any Bluetooth issues thank goodness!!!
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
been running it since release. was originally on N stable, went to dev preview, which was not stable enough, back to N stable then took O OTA.
Apps I use all work, though some stuff is janky, as the release notes say will happen.
On first boot phone.app had same issues I encountered on dev. preview, IE: crashes and not able to actually make calls. However on the beta, wiping phone data/cache fixed those issues, and it now works fine.
Android Auto stops working after a few days, reboot fixes temp.
Google Play music notification pops up randomly, many others have this as well, just an annoyance.
Bluetooth on occasion is dodgy. It works fine, but once in awhile, the display in my vehicle is incorrect, or doesnt populate info at all, most times just going to next track or previous track fixes it.
Camera can be slow to launch (this is posted by Google as a known issue).
Been using it as daily and for me its been good, nothing I have encountered would make me need to go back to N.
Does anyone have issues with the mic button on gboard freezing phone
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I've been having the same issues listed above with play music and Bluetooth failing to display track info on my car headunit. Other than that, things are okay - few app crash notifications w/o the app truly crashing. The important stuff seems to work normally so far.

Oreo8.1 slow performance. lag, battery drain

Hi.
i hope i am not the only 1 whos facing slow performance since the upgrade of Oreo version.
since 8.1 the phone is really terrible.
everything takes more time than usual .
battery draining is really something you cant miss
all the phone is laggy and not function well
i tried to factory reset.
uninstall apps
clean memory
etc.
what else can i do ?
i want to fix this phone to have the option of selling it as i already bought oneplus 5t
I recently picked up a used N5X on Swappa and just upgraded to 8.1. I was starting to wonder if the battery was going bad or if it was the update because I don't think I can get 2 hrs of SOT right now....
yup i can understand that.
there is some short fix regarding the battery.
need to change the gpu renderer to opengl skia .
but the performance still bad and this config changes on each restart.
i think google is doing something to obligate people to upgrade the phone

Seems like what Apple did.
I spoke with Google support, they said that after the latest update we need to wait few days till all the apps are sync and phone learn it.
Sounds bull****
Cuz of it i had to buy new phone.
Can't handle with this 1 today
I'll wait, I can't keep up with those google guys launching a new phone every other day. CustomRom should be an alternative.
good idea

Same here,
unplugged this morning at 6am, now at 11am its down to 35%. terrible.
There does appear to be a problem with OPM3 (Jan 2018). The first Oreo 8.1 (OPM1, Dec 2017) was much snappier.
One fix some have tried with OPM3 is to factory reset and reinstall. Personally, it's made things a little faster, but not (subjectively) as fast as OPM1.
how can we send an email to google for checking those issues?
this is really unacceptable .
cant do normal tasks with my phone. everything is laggy.
even factory reset didnt help as after few hours its causing problem again

If you're going you go through the effort of a factory reset you can always flash the Dec factory image if you feel that runs faster on your device.

If you're going you go through the effort of a factory reset you can always flash the Dec factory image if you feel that runs faster on your device.

i guess i will try to flash rooted version custom rom
after another Factory reset and also root the device
the phone start to function normally.
so far i didnt face any lag or slow performance.
will give it a few days .
btw everything was synced back to the device
apps photos etc
The only problem I have is battery life. The phone is more than one years old, Accubattery says my battery holds like 1900mah, but god help if I'm using 4G, then I get like 1 SoT.
I am also experiencing lag and battery drain.
This lag also issued with the Pixel devices too. It seems in the house of google the guys not really on the top. Perhaps too much cookie around the holidays.
My phone is freezing after 8.1 update any solutions
I'm glad it's not just me. I was on the beta still and I finally flashed the latest and it's been so laggy. I wish I would have stayed on the beta at this point.
I finally fixed the performance:
reapplied OTA via adb as suggested by an google mod on their forums. First cache wipe, then adb sideload.

so how is the new feb update? still lag/slow?
i am still on 7.1.2 because all of this, can i now update?
