Does your 3a XL freeze? - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

I have had a sprint lease 3a XL and a paid off 3a XL from Amazon and both freeze and won't respond unless rebooted. Anyone else have this annoying issue?

Mine has been butter smooth so far, and I feel like I've put this phone through it's paces... I've been very happy with this device so far

No freezes for me.

Happened to me once. I was using the VLC app to cast video and sometimes that app will convert videos on the spot, so I assumed maybe it was that plus I'm on the beta. I was confused though as I've had phones half this price with half the ram that handled the task with nothing more than a slow down lol.

Only had one for 3 days but all good so far

I've had one for about two weeks now, and only froze (then rebooted) once while I was watching a YouTube video.
Otherwise it's been fantastic.

I've had some studdering when I browse Facebook on a Brave browser. But those pages are obviously very media heavy.
I've never had the phone freeze to the point that I had to reboot it.

Top row of apps in Pixel launcher app drawer

Has anyone else noticed the top row of apps in the app drawer that are supposed to change based on frequently used apps.... they don't seem to update very well. I have an app I installed today and used once still up there and my Tapatalk app for instance that's been used many many times since then isn't up there...
My Note 7 with the stock Google Now Launcher behaved much better in terms of keeping the most recently used apps at the top.

I have seen this a few times when I go into my app drawer. It seems like it is getting better and showing my most used apps now. There was an app that I downloaded 2 days ago that I maybe opened 3 times since installing it and it didn't go away until today. None of my most used apps didn't start showing until the other day.
I've had the phone for nearly a week now and it still is showing me apps at the top that I haven't opened and refuses to update the top row with apps I am using multiple times every day....

Worst comes to worst. U can always turn off the app suggestion if you want. I turned it off just because I hardly use that feature. but it seems that it's works most of the time...
I think I figured out what's going on. It's updating recent apps, including ones launched by background system ops like Adguard for instance. Instead of only populating it with apps that are user launched..

That row annoyed me so I disabled it.
The top row is App suggestions, frequently used. If you want to turn it off then press and hold the home screen. Then pick settings and turn off App suggestions.

I want to use it but I want it to behave like it did on my Note 7. I used it all the time on that device. It always had the most frequently used apps on the top row. If I used an app once a week ago and a second app several times a day, the one I use several times a day would be on the top row. The way the Pixel acts the app I use multiple times daily is not there and an app I installed and ran once a week ago will be up there..

Since it is so new, you may have to give it more time to learn from your usage what to suggest. I personally don't use it and have only had Nexus phones the past few years.
I am not sure if it factors Home Screen shortcuts or widgets into what it will suggest. Maybe give it a little more time and it's suggestions will get better.

Sounds like your on Verizon and kind of use to Samsung's setup for fingerprint scanner.
If you are still in your buyers remorse period and worried and have regret you may need to return it for another phone you feel better about. A choice like that is really up to you and you shouldn't let others influence you.

Any fingerprint scanner on the front, after having both, the rear location is only good if you're constantly holding the phone. If you set it down for any reason you have to pick it up to unlock it with the fingerprint.
This phone was supposed to be a replacement for the Note 7. Every day I am being reminded why it's not a good choice. I'm paying top dollar for a device that lacks everything that was good about the Note 7. I still have my Note 7 (second one). Guess I'm going to take it and this Pixel XL and go to Verizon and get an already outdated S7Edge. At least it will come with rebates and a 12 months upgrade eligibility. Probably get more incentive next year for being a Note 7 user.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Get a moto z. That's an option.

I'll check it out. Thanks. The S7E is looking like the only real option right now. Not a fan of Verizon's Motorola Droid line.

Watching TV in a dark room. Phone lit up the room. Look over at my night stand and it just rebooted again. Hasn't been touched for an hour or so.

I know this is the pixel 2 xl page, but I have a pixel 2 regular and have had the random reboot issue occur as well; It is occurring in safe mode too (after a factory reset).
I've already been on the phone with Google support and they basically said it is RMA time...so 2 day old phone already being warrantied.
It literally rebooted again while typing this post...so it is happening a LOT...(thankfully chrome kept the text I typed!)

I got my replacement Pixel 2 yesterday and all is well. I had to call Google support about 3 times though because they messed up the replacement shipping dates.
I'm still not sure what the cause of the reboots was, although, it seemed to happen more often when a program was running in the foreground for an extended duration (i.e. watching videos or using navigation). I have not seen many other reports across the internet of random reboots on the new Pixels so maybe we just got a couple of bad ones.
I just started getting this and I've only had it a day it's done 3 reboots in less than an hour and it's only happened when I have it with the screen off but I get a force close of an app when I get back into the phone
None here with my 64GB P2XL
no reboots for me... had my screen go black and refuse to turn back on once though. had to hold power button for a really long time to get it to come back on. just figured it was cuz im on the 8.1dp.
black 128gb
No reboots here. 128gb black xl unlocked 8.1 dp
Yes, randomly rebooted a few times now, usually when inactive. This on started with DP 8.1.
yes rebooted 3 times Pixel 2xl 128
Rebooted 3 times, randomly with no clear reason. One time while at Costco with just Plantronics 5200 Bluetooth connected. This was on a clean bootup and install from the box to see if there was much of a difference between clean install and a restore-data transfer from my Pixel XL 128. Has not happened since a complete reset and data transfer about 16hrs ago.
Android Auto Causes Rebooting
My Pixel 2 XL consistently reboots exclusively when using Android Auto. It's a 128GB Black one running 8.0 on a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX with the latest 1.10 firmware. I'll be able to get in about two songs and some map usage before it quits and suddenly reboots without explanation. I've not experienced any reboots with this phone under circumstances that do not involve AA. I sure hope Google fixes this soon because I do a good bit of driving & employ AA daily.
Since getting the phone Friday evening I have had about 20 reboots some happening back to back. Thought it may have been an app but I'm guess not. Don't have AA installed.
Nothing here either, on my third day running the 8.1 beta.

Pixel 2 XL poor audio quality when record video?

Im surpised that not many people talk about this. I guess because of the screen issue. Imo, this is another big issue specially on 2 xl. The audio is terrible with bad noise cancellation. Pixel 2 doesnt seem as bad as 2 xl though.

I wonder when this issue will get the attention it deserves. It's the only thing that might make be return the phone. Especially now that the display is under a 2 year warranty. I've got 15 days to figure out if it's a deal breaker for me.

Horrible
Damn....it's actually REALLY poor. Like- VERY BAD. I was at a show @ Tropicana Atlantic City over weekend and although it was a loud venue, I was at the next to last seat very far away from main speakers. The sound is VERY bad. I looked at the audio properties- it's recording mono(!!!!???) @ 96 kb/s. What the actual *uck?!
Sample- some very weird crap with the sound going on. I was holding the phone steady and not covering the microphone or moving at all. Apologies if you don't like OAR....lol

Yeah...I saw that. I can only hope they bump it to at least 128 or maybe 160 kb/s would be even better. Can't this thing record stereo!? There are 2 mics on it, you would think that would be set out of the box. I'm REALLY hoping their patch isn't just decreasing the recording levels.

For whatever reason Apple and Google are doing mono recording with videos. Pretty sad.

I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the audio recording quality of the Pixel 2 XL. I go to many concerts and often record them. Last night I recorded a set for the first time on the Pixel 2 XL and it was horrendous. Could barely make up any of the sound, the bass is totally distorted and clips the audio. All of my previous phones (Pixel XL, S6, S7) blew the Pixel 2 XL out of the water when it came to audio recording. I really hope this gets resolved as it's a pretty big issue for me.

I'll be returning mine due to this issue alone. I make a ton of home videos with my family and recorded audio is very important. It really has me bummed. I love everything else about this phone. Display issues don't bother me. Maybe they will fix the audio issue with a patch but that will be aftery my return period had expired. I won't take that risk. I'll be giving the LG V30 a trial run. Then the oneplus 5T. Maybe by then Google will correct this issue and I'll pick up the 2XL again.

Looks like Oreo 8.1 solved this issue, according to some developer preview reports.

I find the slightly raspy sound is better than the quiet recording on other phones. At least you can hear people on videos on this phone.
As for concerts, the smaller pixel 2 handles this perfectly, so I would say an update will fix it.

looking at pixel xl

OK my nexus 6 now has a crack screen and is slowly becoming unuseable. I am thanking able getting a refurbished pixel XL . any thoughts? good or bad.
Mate, it's a great phone and I had it for 1 year, and you would probably get a couple of years out of it. But in saying that, it's ugly. I upgraded to the pixel 2 xl, same great os and the phone looks so much better.

Was hoping my nexus 6 would hold out untill the new pixels came out and got a new or refurbished pixel XL 2. but my budget is what it is, the last 12 hrs. the nexus 6 screen is 55% purple.
I like my Google edition Pixel XL. It's what I have, and my wife has the Google edition Pixel.
I had contemplated about getting the XL 2, but went with the XL instead. I had some conversations with folks offline, and a discussion here on XDA too. I might upgrade to the XL 2 in the near future, and give my wife the XL, and my daughter my wife's Pixel.
I do like the Pixel XL and Pixel- but the Pixel's screen was too small for me. I think I would prefer the XL 2 screen a little more since it's at 6 inches- rather than 5.5 inches... heh.

How does the Pixel 2 XL perform?

So I was thinking about picking one up on eBay to use. Can anyone tell me how the phone is performing now? Has the Display improved? How's the battery life?
It is still the best phone money can buy.
Faster than a speeding bullet!
I have been using the XL since months, my device has the blue tint, but you have to really look for it in order to see it. The speakers shrill at 100% volume, for my choice of songs at least, still hasn't been a problem. Now the good parts :
The device is awesome. Been using Android P since the first Dev preview and it is great.
Battery life is just steller. Around 5 hours of SoT.
I used to root the device the moment I took it out of the box, Nexus 6P, even the OP5 was the same. But this has stayed unrooted. Stock is for the first time just adequate for me. And seeing the pixel 3 leaks, this phone will not be replaced for another year. If you do want to get one, don't trust me, but I'd buy one considering it'd be cheaper for you now than it was for me. But the phone is just worth it. Buy a cover of you want it pristine though. Mine has scratches and dents at all corners. Won't have it any other way though.
It's a pretty perfect experience. Display is awesome and phone is fast as lighting

Yeah I've been looking at the prices and there going for around 375-450$ on eBay for a used model in good condition. I'm hoping eBay will have one of those sale's when they take 20% off everything.
Screen is slightly bluish at extreme viewing angles. Doesn't bother me even when I do see it which only when I'm trying to see it.
Performance is just fine. Very fast. No complaints.
Battery life varies. One day it will be fine. The next day similar use will result in noticably decreased battery life. After the Pie update battery life was terrible but a factory reset brought it back to what it was before.
I have had a reoccurring issue with the headphone adapter. Sometimes it won't be detected at all. Other times it will be detected but only when plugged in one way. Other times both ways work. It's the same for the stock charger. Sometimes plugging it only charges when plugged in one way but flipping it won't charge.
It's showing its age. My panda is starting to lag and freeze for about 3 seconds Evey now and then when I open an app

Ouch that sucks man but it possibly could be a rogue app? I have had mine since release day and I don't have any lockups and I have quite a few apps installed as well.
It's a possibility. But even someone like MKHD has said his pixel 2 XL has begun to lag. So I don't think it's only my device and I don't feel like wiping data to see if it helps. Someone shouldn't have to do something like that to fix their phone IMO.

I had the same issue with my charging port. Take a toothpick or a pinand clean it out. Most likely it is plugged up a bit. It's actually pretty common. Just be careful when doing it

Be careful that it isn't a Verizon model, those are bootloader locked and can't be rooted. It must be a phone that originally came straight from Google to be sure.
Maybe the doesn't care about rooting. I picked up mine on eBay when they had a 15% off sale. Couldn't pass it up @ $399 and it's been great overall. At that time the Verizon models were selling for like $490-500

It could be a batch of phones with subpar flash memory I wouldn't be shocked. I wonder if all are using Samsung storage? I know some devices have Micron for the ram. Does your device have Micron or Samsung storage and ram? You can check this information at the bootloader.

Not sure. So I would Boot into bootloader and it'll be one of the lines on the default screen? My lag isn't as bad as MKHD described it. It is noticable and does exist.
