I use Nova and I have it set to swipe up from the home button for the app switcher and up from the dock for the app drawer. Works for me.

Found it! Go to "settings > system > gestures > enable "swipe up from Home button"

Dunno really, Apple give you refurbs too.

Having said that when I had to RMA they just gave me a code and said go order a brand new one off the Google Store, and it was brand new in retail packaging.

Is your dad's phone a Google direct purchase or from somewhere else?

It's contract. So I guess that will where he will have to go .

Funny his email stated it was a refurbished one .when I sent mine in it did not say anything about a refurbished

Don't think it's in this release of the beta

Microsoft apps are all fixed for me now after an update to the company Intune portal app today for Android P

Anyone else notice the screen looks much nicer on P?

Not particularly

 

[AndyCr15]

Nope. Maybe the default changed? Perhaps you were set to more natural and now it's gone more saturated?

Nope. Maybe the default changed? Perhaps you were set to more natural and now it's gone more saturated?

Or the other way around.

No looks the same, maybe you're on a different profile?

 

[JAMAL]

Same profile, i noticed it straight away

 

[V_R]

In what way do you think it looks 'nicer'?

 

[JAMAL]

Too me contrast seems better and maybe even sharper, could be just me

I noticed it on my wallpaper which is the one with waves and the sand looked much better.

Great phone. Picked up the 2 XL on Wednesday. Cooking from the Nexus 6P I'm actually pretty suprised how much of an upgrade it is

 

[Father Ted]

Upgraded from a Nexus 6P, really liking it so far. Anybody got a decent screen protector reccomendation? I'm pretty tempted to try it without...

For the first time I'm using without. Nothing is a very good fit with the curved edges unless you want to spend £50 for the one with the UV light.

Yeah, that's what I figured. When you're used to paying £10 that's a massive increase. I used the 6P with no screen protector for the last 6 months without getting even the tiniest scratch on it. My only worry is that Gorilla Glass 5 is supposeed to be more prone to scratches.

Is there anyway to connect the Pixel 2 to a Mac? I tried connecting to mine and Android File Transfer just complained there was no device. It didn't want to show up as a HDD to access anything as I've been able to do on past Android devices.
