I get far less WiFi issues and drop outs on my XL2 than I do on my work iPhone and iPad

No issues with WiFi here, on 9. Infact, never had WiFi issues on 8 either.

It took about 22 minutes to do and then wanted to restart.

So far so good with pie
Disabled the gestures and gone back to buttons (see previous posting on this).
Battery life seems as good or better.
Fast charging no longer works (says otherwise).
WiFi drop outs I had on 8 no longer an issue.
Also I've not seen it mentioned but my Bluetooth is semi broken again. It won't allow me to do hands free calls through my Bluetooth headphones. It recognises that it's there but you get no audio. Music works fine. Asked a mate if he was having the same and he is. Guess it'll be fixed in a future update.

You've checked phone calls are selected in the bluetooth connection settings itself?

Just to follow up on the above the latest update has fixed the above problem with Bluetooth calls.

Ahh sorry mate, was thinking about the G5 which had the boot loop.
The LG are very underrated, used to love my G2, G4 and G5

I swapped to the gestures since they were introduced and have gotten used to it pretty well. The only thing that annoys me is how slow side scrolling recent apps is with the pill, so much so that it's much quick/easier just to pop recent apps up and scrolling normally.

The main thing that annoyed me about the gestures was how often the task switch swipe would fail to work. I'd swipe to the right and I'd just get a line drawing across the bottom but nothing would happen. Never had the double tap the tasks button fail like that. But moreover I felt the implementation was just badly done. Didn't save any screen estate and looked ugly and doesn't really save any time or offer any advantages.
I get that or more often it switches to the wrong app.
Yep had 3 devices because of it. Check here: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUs-p-F-7Rgtak/?hl=by
Third device still has the same symptoms. Google's answer is to buy Bluetooth headphones.
