Must admit I'm not sure I like the looks of P at all. Oreo is perfect in my eyes, but P looks like a step backwards.

I can't get on with the gestures at all. I also don't like the side scrolling to switch apps.

The side scrolling to switch apps is all too apple esque. Nothing really making me want to rush to install P.

What happened to the Sync tab in the drop down menu. Why do google never put it there yet Samsung, HTC all do. Google bury it in the account in the settings.

How is P stability wise? Am tempted

V_R · 9 May 2018 at 14:13

Having watched that, I'm more tempted to give it a go.

Can't make my mind up on this phone, how annoying is the headphone jack extension?

I never thought I'd find it annoying, but I do. Mainly because of the lack of decent USB earphones.

It's fine 99% of the time - but when you need it, I guarantee you won't have the god damn dongle on you

P has been stable for me for 24 hours now (albeit on a Pixel 1 XL) the only apps that are not working for me are anything from Microsoft, which I use for work.

Matteysan · 9 May 2018 at 17:05

Been stable for me also. Surprisingly Sky Go also works which usually it doesn't when a new version of Android hits.

NorthstaNder · 9 May 2018 at 18:33

I've download P. Still got the old style buttons at the bottom

V_R · 9 May 2018 at 18:34

You need to turn them on in the options.

_Jimlad_ · 9 May 2018 at 18:45

Not keen on the new gestures .Looks like it will be an option rather than the norm

Simps · 9 May 2018 at 19:00

Can anyone confirm if Barclays app works on P please.

I've installed the BETA but after trying the new home button I've turned it off.

Tempted to turn it off too, but I'll stick with it for a while. It's the future

Got mine today, very happy with it other than this mega frustrating issue i'm having where it drops WiFi connection and anything i'm doing, be it a game or browsing, had to refresh. It's like it's hopping between WiFi and data looking for the stronger connection or something similar to how windows wireless services used to do. Anyone else experienced this?

Do you have a sky router? I'm having this issue only on mynsky router at home, keeps disconnecting, then reconnecting with not internet, works sometimes but very intermittent

V_R · 10 May 2018 at 08:57

Mine does that on the WiFi at work (corporate network, Cisco kit), but its rock solid at home (Asus router). My 6P did it too. I have never been able to work out why.

Not a fan of the P scrolling, not much else to really report at this stage. Just seeing if there is an improvement with the battery.

All my apps bar photosync all appear to work, not tried Android pay yet
