Pixel XL 2 Owners beware.. - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

So today I found out that the latest version of Swipe for Facebook (I think, pretty sure) created major problems. Pixel launcher would constantly crash, phone became semi useless cause of that. Then a couple reboots later, screen would go black after unlocking pass code. So I had to factory reset it. I reinstalled swipe and bam Pixel launcher crashed. So I used Google assistant to open Google play store and Uninstalled the app. So far no issue. My phone is a Google version and unlocked bootloader.

Ya very true. But ya know some of us can't live without it. I'm now using Friendly Facebook app. Seems to have no issues. I did email the dev team for swipe to let them know though.

It is that simple. Plus it smells more like a problem that the developer of the app needs to resolve, rather then being beware for the "pixel".
So report it to the developer instead of just ranting here, I think that might be a lot more productive. Or don't use it. Either way, not a "Pixel" issue....

Google support is a ****ing joke. Literally was in a chat and the only thing they could tell me to do was restart the phone over and over until giving up and telling me to factory reset.

Yup, several times. I've never seen a user app from the play store brick a phone like this. Completely unrecoverable.

I think this is a good thing to post. If the phone has to be factory reset from this, it isn't just a program crashing.

actually, i have had issues where it was the programme's fault for the un-usable galaxy nexus (back in mah day (puts teeth back in)), i was able to pull the apk off via other methods. and soon after an update to that app was pushed. cant remember the app, but it was a big company. turns out, it was several devices that had this issue with similar chip types or something along that line.

I'm not saying it wasn't a problem with the app. What I am saying is that it is not a run of the mill app crashing, where you just uninstall and everything is good. Having someone or now two people mention it took a factory reset to fix things after installing the app is useful. Then people can decide to take a chance or wait.

Ignore them, uninstalling swipe made my pixel great again so we know it's not fake

He probably lucked out and got the 7.2.1 update instead of 7.2. From people's response here as well as reviews on the Play Store, this **** was no joke.
This was horrible for me. For some reason even though my phone was setup 48 hours prior cloud backup did not back up my texts. So because of **** testing on a Play Store app I lost all my messages. I'd like to know exactly what the **** did the developer do to cause this. I've never seen a Play Store app this damaging before. I've honestly never had anything like this happen on a stock device. Only back when messing around with ROMs and mods.

So true. It's amazing to me that with all of Facebook's resources and with how much they rely on mobile users, that their mobile app is still so f***ing terrible. I was having some lag/stuttering issues on my LG V30 and after uninstalling facebook and LG's built in facebook installer app, my phone started running buttery smooth and hasn't hiccuped since. Now I just check facebook occasionally when I'm in front of my computer.
Uninstalling it from your phone immediately shows you how little you need that crap feed in your life.

Facebook is and always will be coded like garbage.

I downloaded this app this morning, but after some testing I can't seem to capture anything. Not sure if it's the device or ROM (MIUI) . Can someone out there on MIUI test this as well and provide me some feedback?
I got it to work a couple times but it seems to be touchy. A coworker and I devised a plan to use it on another coworker while sitting right next to her muuhahahahaha!

DroidSheep Works on Android 2.3.4 Galaxy S
I have tested it on Galaxy S 2.3.4 and it worked fine.
Droidsheep is removed from the andriod market now according to a tweet at @DroidSheep.
Although it is still possible to use by downloading it directly from the website and install it.
Just make sure you have installed required dependencies e.g arpspoof, licpcap,droidsheep and Root Privileges on android phone.
I wrote one Howto, but due to insufficient privileges i can't post URL. try search on google How to install DroidSheep
Ive tested it on MIUI and Stock. works fine but the Network slows down extremely!
It's scary how simple this app works!
Will droidsheep mess up the modem?
becuz i have played around with wifikill, droidsheep and faceniff today.
then a few hours later, my modem stopped working.
could any of the 3 apps be the cause? or my modem just got fried? lol

Yeah will probably play around with it a bit. But that's about it I guess. Good that it's a launcher though tbf. You could get rid of it when you're sick of it.
I won't bother with this crap. No widgets!!!
I think it is a bad thing especially since they will be downloading stuff in the background all the time. My wife read that the program FaceBook Home uses for the camera Instagram will replace the stock one and that some people have had trouble returning to stock. I don't know if this is true but lots of people have had trouble with uninstalling FaceBook. So I would not even try it until others have tried it and removed it successfully.
1 minute in and I decided that it's not for me.
My world doesn't revolve around FB enough that I want it to rule my phone. Not to mention with how sketchy they are with changing privacy settings.
will try, but will uninstall asap,
cuase of sucking battery and data usage
i think i will give it a try
Does this crap replace the FB app? If so, I'm going to completely uninstall it and just use the http.
No way I will use Facebook home. Facebook is scary. ..

I do use the Facebook app and especially the Messenger app, I am not a very active user on Facebook but it's great to contact and keep in touch with certain "less connected" friends/relatives/acquaintances.
That said, just thinking of replacing Nova Launcher Prime with it makes me LOL just like replacing my car with an ice cream cart would... :laugh:
I would give a try, n see how things working, but it is scary thought to involve private life too much including all phone os... I may require facebook to stay just as simple application when ever I run.
Not to be sycnc with everything I do.
Can someone upload the shell apk? Can't see to get Mega to dl on my phone :/
I tried the pre-release version posted on Modaco. Hated the experience. Felt like a straightjacket! Am back to Nova Launcher now. Phew! For those who want to test it out, here is the link. It works fine on Note II.

EDIT
If you are not able to download from Mega, here is the file - unzip and install the three apks inside like you would normally do. You might have to uninstall the existing FB app first.

Fingerprint sensor stops working randomly

So this just started happening very recently. It won't recognize that I'm touching the fingerprint scanner if my phone's screen has been off for X amount of time. No vibration, nothing to indicate that it realizes I'm touching it. Even when I turn on the screen to look at the lockscreen, it still won't detect my finger. After I unlock using my pattern, then lock again, it'll detect my finger when trying to unlock again. But if I let it sit for a bit with the screen off, it'll stop working again - almost as if it forgets to keep the fingerprint sensor on when it enters doze mode.
I thought it might be an issue with MHC19I, but I've had that update for almost a week now, and I hadn't seen this issue happen until today. And I don't see anyone else complaining about it recently.
It could also be due to a recent app upgrade, maybe? The list of apps that upgraded before I first noticed this issue are:
Chrome Beta, letgo, Robinhood (uses fingerprint sensor), TurboTax
Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? The Google rep wanted me to boot into safe mode, but I'm hesitant to do that due to this bug - it's happened to me before on this phone - or to do a factory reset, which is ridiculous.
I am experiencing the same thing. Exactly. On march build
Same thing here. Started yesterday as well. I also had Robinhood update yesterday. In looking at the app reviews, it is breaking the nexus imprint for the 6P & 5X. Just deleted the app and rebooted the phone. Will update if this fixes it.
Misery loves company, I guess. Glad I'm not alone. I disabled all my xposed modules and the issue still persists. Maybe it's due to a recent update for an app.
Do either of you guys have any of these apps installed? Let's see if we can narrow it down.
Edit: Yeah, it's probably Robinhood.
Deleting the Robinhood app and rebooting seems to have fixed my issues!!

Add me to the list. Just removed robinhood (before finding this thread) and haven't had the problem since. Thanks OP for the perfect description of said problem, as those were my exact symptoms as well. Problem started on the evening of the 17th... been pulling my hair out ever since. Even reinstalled the latest factory images (without wiping). I was so worried it was a hardware issue... glad it's not!
Hi All,
I'm an Android developer for Robinhood. Very sorry for the issue! We'd noticed it ourselves, but it took a while for us to realize that our own app was the cause. We have a fix ready to go out to the beta users on Monday. If you guys are interested in joining the beta, you can do so here: play.google.com/apps/testing/com.robinhood.android
Again very sorry for the trouble!

Same issue here on Nexus 5 with pure Nexus marshmallow. I m an intensive user of the ebay app... I found that after sometimes, eBay app tend to slow down and It s heavy for the system. When my phone start to lag (nexus 5 on M pure nexus is a butter experience) if I open recent apps , ebay is always in the list. If I close ebay phone go back to the butter experience. Due to this fact, and to others like the missing search option to search an item in the whole europe like in the mobile site , I decided to remove ebay app like I done for Facebook and Facebook messenger... Those 3 apps will never be reinstalled on my phone. It takes me an year to find what was slowing down my phone between the 200 apps installed

Got a question about features, functionalities and how tos? One offs that don't deserve a full thread? Let's try asking it here.

Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Anyone has any insights? Thanks in advance.

Hi All
Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.
I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.
Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.
Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet
Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?
Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.
Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

AR emoji with non-Samsung keyboards
Am I blind? Or am I just not seeing how to use the AR emojis in other SMS apps (tried both Android Messages and Chomp SMS)? I'm not a big fan of the stock SMS app.

No need to remove it. After latest update, deleting old scan and setting a new one it works perfect even with "prebuilt" protector.

Are you giving it a bit of time? I noticed that it's kind of a crapshoot at first but now after 2 weeks it's like 98%

Depending on the keyboard you're using just press + or whatever you do if you're adding a picture and select the AR emoji you want from your album. Is that not working for you?

I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.

Are you sure it's the stock messaging app or is it the stock keyboard?
