**** The Official Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL Thread ****

I finally got this installed, had to sign in and out of my Google account to be eligible.

I'm really impressed by the beta, seems very solid and smooth to me, so far everything working nicely.

Just found the problem with Gmail. Went to Gmail settings, manage notifications and found it was disabled. Enabled and now it's working like it should.

Maybe updating to P disabled notifications for some reason.

Tried that but mine was enabled ..... Part n parcel of the beta I suppose.... Happy otherwise

Was tempted install p beta but what does the warning mean on the opt in page? Can it affect hardware warranty?

"You are solely responsible for any error, defect, damage or destruction due to such use, including damage to any device or loss of data."

Isn't it released by Google itself though? Unlikely anything a factory reset wouldn't fix from a software perspective..

 

[JAMAL]

Still a worrying bit of disclaimer though

It's only small print at the end of the day...

Yeah I installed it anyway

Good man, it's probably the smoothest beta I've tried

What are your favourite features you have used so far?

 

[Muska]

Personally I really like the new gesture commands, especially for quick app switching. Once you've done it a few times it becomes second nature and is now a quicker action than previously. It's especially handy if receiving a message while completing another task on the handset. I would like them to expand the gestures further and swipe left on the 'home' pill as a back gesture.

In general I am finding the whole 'P' experience very polished. I've not seen anything causing an issue in the last few days use, it could have been a full release as it's stable and polished for me. I do wish Microsoft would pull their finger out and fix their apps though (it seems to be the company portal that is causing the issues)

Have they removed the close all apps option?

TeslaUnread plugin for Nova keep crashing.

 

[Muska]

They have currently although it is supposed to be coming back.

Silly little things like the on-screen lock time, quick app switch and copy/paste between apps

It's funny, I was thinking this myself. Seems quite an obvious gesture to me to remove the back button.

I'm tempted to try the beta, but worried about apps not being compatible.
I saw mention of Microsoft apps not working, does this include the remote desktop app?

 

[millsy888]

There's an update to nova launcher on the play store. Apparently fixes the blank app drawer problem. @AndyCr15

 

[AndyCr15]

...I didn't have that problem

I don't know what settings I have different to everyone else, but mine wont let me pull the app drawer up.

I've just reset to default and it wont swipe up to app drawer still... very odd.

I'm using the beta version of Nova if that makes any difference.

 

[AndyCr15]

Yeah, me too.

Is anyone using the HDR+ Advanced in camera setting or are we all using just the HDR+?

What does the HDR+ Advanced bring to the table?
