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 have had this problem we will have to wait for an update!! Basically that's what I've been telling myself lately about marshmallow

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.
Our of curiosity...are you guys all encrypted?

Ok never mind then. I've been decrypted since I got the phone, until I took an OTA recently. It's been crap since then, but I guess it's unrelated

stock & encrypted and snapchat runs like poo for me. shame because its one of my most used apps :/
Well again Snapchat just updated, and now I'm back to it working fine again....
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
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?

Just updated after putting it off after a few days, everything is sluggish and feels terrible.
Very laggy.
Before, everything was perfect.
Anyone else?

I realized it only happened under 50%, never happened to me before. Seems to be a common problem. I enrolled in beta, and I'll see if that fixes the problem. I saw that replacements are having the same problem, so there's no use.
Its the update. Same situation, a lot of lag

Seems to be new DP2 update for our devices since today https://www.xda-developers.com/andr...ve-for-nexus-6p-nexus-5x-nexus-9-and-pixel-c/
Let's try
Glad to see (well not really...sucks to have random issues) other than my wife's tablet...its been driving her nuts lately with it getting laggy and all the random reboots. I was tempted to sign up for the beta OTA but I don't want to hear it from here when something else doesn't work.
For those who tried or are part of the OTA beta program, has the random rebooting be corrected?

You could always flash the October image. The only downside is the constant, non-dismissable notification that a System Update is Available.

I could but I've been doing a little testing and have disabled Bluetooth on the tablet and it seems to be OK...as in not randomly rebooting.
I'll wait patiently for the next patch in hopes that Google corrects the standing issues.

Hi I have the same issue with 7.1.2 and even 8.0, when the battery reachs 60-50% it starts lagging very bad
I have never tried with marshmallow since I have it from just one month i'm going crazy because of this problem I've tried everything custom kernel decryption but it's always the same I'm going to try marshmallow to see if there will be differences,I hope so , did you solved?
My screen flashes when the screen locks. It does this for a bit and then just randomly stops doing it, until it starts again. I've contacted Google and they won't let me do an RMA saying it's a known issue and should be fixed in a coming update. Anyway else have this issue?

Well hopefully. Thanks.
Well I'm running the April update and the flashing issue returned today again. Still no fix. Ugh.
Mine started doing it after the April update. I started uninstalling a bunch of apps (like rotation control) thinking it was causing the issue. But nope...
Clearing cache and data, disable, & re-enable helps.

Not happening all the time. Does it for like 10 mins then stops for a week or two before randomly doing it again.
It's infuriating, as people keep thinking I'm taking their photo. Anyone heard anything more about a fix?
Long discussion in Pixel product forum. No fix helped yet. I have heard that Google isn't allowing replacements because of the flashing; which hopefully means that they are working on a fix.
We'll have a new security update in a few days - I have everything crossed!
My XL started doing it today. Think I updated yesterday to the 5 May patch.
Just rebooted and it stopped. But I'm sure it will return
I am on the P beta and so far the screen flickering disappeared.

Same here... Good so far.
Any updates on this? Still good on P beta? I have a brand new 2 xl (Literally 5 days old) and just started experiencing this today. Should I just wait for P to release or should I go back to the verizon store and get a replacement?
I just picked up the XL 2 yesterday and my screen started flashing today. Called Google support and they said it is a software issue and that they are working on a fix for it and will roll it out in an update. Seems rather strange they've heard about this for 6 months and still no update as of yet. My bet is that this "fix" is Android p.
I'm so fed up with these phones.
Is anyone else still having issues where when you go to make a call the screen goes black and you can't get out of it? No way to get into speakerphone mode, no way to hang up the call, no way to do a thing even after the call is finished.
This is with the June update which supposedly fix this issue.
If anyone has any insight I really appreciate it.
Never had the issue while on Oreo or while now on Android P DP3. Do you have a screen protector on it? Even pressing the power button doesn't wake the screen up while in call?

No screen protector, and nope. Even power button won't get me back.
Very strange. It's replicable with every phone call? Any 3rd party dialer or display adjustment apps that you may be using that could affect it?

I know you probably already did this but make sure your screen is clean around the sensor area, I've had a false reading before when the top of my screen was dirty.

I had the same issue a few months back. Did the online support and they RMA'd it.
It seems it was TrueCaller causing the issues. Thanks for all the advice guys!

I had the problem with the proximity in dp3 it would not turn off while I was on the phone! After doing a FDR it worked great!
I had a feel you might've been using that or something similar. Glad you got it figured out.

I have gone the whole day testing this issue.
I hard reset my phone 3 times and tested this.
On every hard reset and fresh start the proximity sensor works perfectly well, as soon as I install true caller, the dead screen issue starts.
But I use truecaller without any problems on my other 3 non pixel phone without any issues. This problem is only with the pixel 2 and pixel 2 XL.
There is no resolution as of now. Does anyone know of anyways to get this resolved ?

I stopped using the pro version for issues I can't recall.
Did anyone else lose the dark mode option in the most recent Phone app update? Been running it in dark mode since they released the option but after the last update it's no longer there and I'm back to the stock white.
I've tried force closing, restarted, uninstalling updates, clearing cache. Nothing seems to help and I'm not seeing it being reported anywhere else. I'm running version 26.0.222848963.

Yeah I did, that sucks
Weird because the changelog mentions the addition of dark mode. Maybe it's a server side rollback again.
Same here. Lost it before I did the December update.
Thankfully have pitch black theme installed via substratum.
Mine is working.

Try this: Settings/Display/Advanced/Device theme - set to dark

What's annoying for me is i sideloaded the beta APK, which gave me dark mode, but took away call screening!

I signed up for the beta, let it update itself, have dark mode which is great, and call screening works just as before.
