Oh right, that's a fair change. I'll check it out when I decide to install it.

I think I've gotten used to them already

Being really nit picking about the gestures but the bottom bar still takes up more room than I hoped. This is especially evident in chrome where you can see the top part of the screen is still curved but the bottom is cut off by the bar. Looks a bit shoddy.

Also the dark theme needs a lot of work in my opinion. Lots of things incomplete, the keyboard being most noticeable (just sticks to whatever theme you set it as in preferences) and no scheduling is a bummer.

Still half baked features are what I've come to expect from Android.

Edit: resolved the keyboard issue by clearing the data on Gboard. It seems that once you pick a theme that's it your stuck with it whereas if you always used the default it will honour the dark setting.

Just installing it now.

Warming to it.

Phone seems slightly quicker to me.

Fingerprint sensor noticeably quicker. Maybe I might try and register my right finger again in the hope it won't unlock in my pocket like it used to.

Bluetooth quick settings are better and make up for the lack of Bluetooth menu from the toggles.

Gestures I'm warming to a lot. Just need some polish on places.

 

[FishLicker]

I like dark mode but wish it had a schedule.

Gestures: I’m indifferent, don’t mind but don’t really see too many advantages over the buttons with the exception of swiping back from either side of the screen.

Battery life seems to be considerably worse.

Changed my mind about bluetooth settings, it only lists 3 previous devices and so I still often have to make an extra press to get to the device i want.

 

[michty_me]

I'm finding my battery life better. Possibly placebo though.

 

[FishLicker]

So far this morning I'm down to 90% already. Off the charger for an hour, 22 minutes usage, a bit of music via Bluetooth. Not very impressive. In fact it just dropped 2% while typing this very message. Really really disappointed.

That is a fair drop. I wouldn't be impressed either.

Hoping my battery life hasn't been affected too much.. I forgot to charge my phone last night and currently at 40%

Most people seem to report the same or better so don't worry too much. As the few people who recognise me on here will testify I must be the unluckiest pixel owner in the world.

Did the update to 10 the other night and so far no issues that I can see. Battery is on par with 9 and not noticed any major drop.

No smoke without fire as they say

 

[FishLicker]

Well I don't know what was up with the battery the other day but it seems to have corrected itself now.

 

[sprite1275]

Anyone get bootloop after updating to 10? Seen a lot of reports of it and do not want brick my 2xl.

 

[michty_me]

Nope. Doesn't seem much different to 9 to me.

One annoying thing I'm finding is that when watching a downloaded YouTube vid (so YouTube premium), if I go landscape and have some notifications the screen locks. So I must unlock and it's back to portrait.

If I remove the notifications and then go full screen, no problem at all. Very strange and don't know what to do about it.

My battery is worse after the update.

 

[Swinbag]

My battery is worse after the update.

Mine too on my 2XL - first few days it seemed okay but it's definitely worse; having to put it on charge before I go to bed now, never needed to do that pre-update.

Mine is a 2xl aswell.
