Ooooo loving the new helper when you search for a setting. When you click on the match it flashes in the sub menu to help you find it. That wasn't in the previous beta right?

It did that before I think. It all seems much smoother for me, and yes the brightness is working as it should now just got to wait for Samsung to update it's gear app so that my watch will connect!!

Installed here too, nothing bad to report so far.

Regarding the brightness.

Thanks for that. I didn't realise the brightness slider was wrong in the first place!! :rolleyes:

Is anyone having issues with their notifications?

Mine seem to be screwed since I changed to P

Anyone else comment on this, mainly WhatsApp and some email, SMS

Muska · 7 Jun 2018 at 08:00

No issues with notifications here, have had all of the above since updating.

DNS66 no longer blocks adverts now, having to rely on PIA and MACE that adds to the battery drain

iMacMart · 7 Jun 2018 at 08:48

What adverts?

Think I've fixed mine, backed up Nova, uninstalled, rebooted, installed and restored and all my app notifications appear to be working normally now...

Muska · 7 Jun 2018 at 11:47

I'm finding dragging the app draw up smoother than before but I think I might be getting a little lag spike during general usage infrequently. Has anyone found anything else new?

Edit*
Auto WiFi is now working for me

Anyone noticed how slow fingerprint unlock is on DP3

Ah I was wondering if that was just me or not.... Yes it seems a tad slower to unlock from when the screen is off. fine if the screen is already on though.

Yep it's definitely a little slower. I'm also noticing that the animations seem to be smoother but a little slower.

They have an engineer looking into the slow fingerprint, It should be faster if you use always on display. It happens on both DP3 & Oreo(june security patch) I doubt it'll get fixed any time soon though.

Been waiting 6 months for them to sort the USB-C audio problems out, Still no closer to that. I have to send mine back to Google again this weekend.

I kinda regret buying this phone to be honest. Nothing but issues.

iMacMart · 8 Jun 2018 at 15:29

Is it just a bad handset, or has this issue always been a problem

Kainz · 8 Jun 2018 at 15:45

This slow fingerprint issue...it smacks of the 6P during the Oreo or Nougat betas (can't recall which). It never did get resolved and compared to Marshmallow that was the stock OS at the time of release, the fingerprint reader was never as quick.

I have always on and it's still noticeably slower compared to before the update.
I have the P2 XL and a guy at work as the P2 and reports that they don't have this issue.

So I've only just realised the phone has face unlock

God send for the gym where the fingerprint flat out stops working because of sweat..

Security > smart lock > trusted face.

Anyone else make the animation times shorter in developing options. I find it so much smoother since I played with the options
