Official Android 9.0 - Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Here is the ota : https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Es ist da !!!

Just got the OTA on a Verizon Pixel 2 and it's 1139 MB. Yikes, dl now.

Updated just now via OTA. I don't feel it's polished yet, still some things left not taken care of. E.g. Spacing of the icons in the dock is unbelievable and the clock icon is pixelated. Probably more.

can not enable wind mode help me

I'm not seeing that but I might not know exactly what you're talking about. Can you explain a little further?

Spacing between the icons and the Google search widget in the Pixel launcher dock is too big and illogical. Also, when tapping on the widget and then opening an app from those suggestions, the animation is not the new one, rather the one from Oreo and previous versions. Share animation is still inconsistent and swiping through apps via the nav bar pill is sometimes skipping animation.
I think Google didn't really know what to change so they forced this P update and it's not polished. I know some of this is nitpicking, but they're worlds biggest software company and these things shouldn't happen.

wind down and do not disturb

Just one question. With the update did you get the new two-button navigation or the old three button? I ended with same old same old 3-button.

I'm being unusually thick today and I'm just not seeing any of this stuff. Is there an official post of the changes and where the heck they are *exactly*? To say wind in do not disturb doesn't help me today as noted above.

I'm not getting the OTA I opted into the Beta when the DP5 released but I factory reset my device after it installed do i have to manually flash it or opt out of the Beta?

I'm pretty sure I saw an OTA for DP5 - final from someone. I'd wait a little bit until it all shakes out.
edit: yeah it looks like dp5 to final is only like 45 MB or so. Might just want to wait. This is from the 2 XL forum though.

running fine here, except can't use Android pay Fresh factory image and update to Pie. No, this is the final Android 9

That's pretty cool. I'll try it for a while. Does that get rid of the "clear all" apps tab? Still not seeing Wind down mode anywhere. Any help with that one?
edit: Looks like Wind mode and grayscale is not yet available.

two button navigation, it's an option in Settings. Someone beat me to it ?

Trying to flash the factory image, I get an error of it not being able to find system.img for some reason.

Don't know is it a fearure or a bug
But the brightness slider is acting weirdly
From 0 to 80% it is dim and from 80 to 100% it brighten up the screen
Does anyone else facing this issue ?

ICS on Nexus S Complaints, Dissapointed, Downgrade

To be clear, I am liking ICS a lot, and am happy to see where Android is progressing. Here are a few complaints, however:
-I can't believe they disabled the search capacity button from the home screen. If you remove the search bar, there's no way to search from the home screen. Still hate the fact that the top bar is unusable space.
-Limited items in folders. This is one area which I don't understand why they back-peddled. It's very iOS-like, and it's one of the worst things to copy. Max 16 apps in a folder now. My understanding was that it was unlimited before. This will require adjustment.
-The icons look childish. Wish Google would truly allow customization and let us change the icons like other launchers do.
-Still no ability to add custom shortcuts to the home screen (like ADW Launcher can). Unless I'm mistaken? How do I make a direct dial icon?
-Long pressing Home button for the app switcher feels slow and clunky. It takes a while for the list of apps to show up.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. Still getting the hang of it. Again, overall, I'm really enjoying ICS. The UI is so modern and sleek looking.
You can add direct dial shortcuts through the widget section dude

I'm loving ICS on the Nexus S, too. However, my battery life is atrocious since the upgrade today. I went from 100% to 4% in less than 6 hours. It wasn't that I was using it or playing with it that much, either. All the settings were similar to what they were on 2.3.6, e.g., low backlight, GPS/WiFi/Bluetooth off, push email on, account sync on. I was getting 12+ hours with up to 20% left on Gingerbread with these settings. According to the battery app, it looks like "Android OS" might be the culprit, as "keep awake" is listed as the highest-ranked battery usage over everything else, including screen, voice calls, cell standby, etc. I've read on other forums about a possible Android OS bug with the SGS II. I'm thinking it might be so with ICS on the NS. Anyone else have this issue? How do we report it to Google so we can get a bug fix?

icons are still customizable, as they are with any rom. The launcher my not let you do it as easily as other launcher aps from within android.. but you can still do it externally by editing the icon files from the flash able rom file.
One small issue I found: Lock sound never plays even when the option is checked. Besides that, I'm really liking ICS. I wish the default widgets were more customizable. (e.g., calendar widget is one row too long, GMail widget is one column too wide) As a person with a severe visual impairment, I find the "Larger" text option a nice touch.

This couldn't be a battery calibration issue with the upgrade could it? I'm experiencing the same at the minute. I seem to recall there is a way to clear the battery stats but I can't remember where I read it.

You can easily resize them by a long press on a widget without delete it, you will see the widget outline get blue with diamond which you can hold too resize.

Oh wow, thanks! By the way, I found my issue for the lock screen: it got switched to None. I guess I forgot to switch it back after looking for the Face Unlock feature.
Speaking if which, looking at other threads it seems this feature was dropped for the Nexus S due to poor front-facing camera resolution. Oh well.
PS: I wish the custom message you can put on the lockscreen was more customizable than one scrolling line.

One thing I noticed is it gets rather sluggish at times. UI is smooth but there are very bad lags. Noticeable with even just the a live wallpaper, you can see it stutters every ten seconds or so.
Also, some apps won't work, Viber for example. It installs but it doesn't work, it just won't start. Black screen.
Maybe I should wait until the official OTA comes available for me, in Italy, through Software Update, and see if things are better? I have an i9020T, though- isn't the update going to be the same exact file?
if your battery life is really bad try turning off NFC and see if that makes a difference. From the Alpha I managed to get about 25 hours (once..) but cannot remember what I changed to get that.
the two complains I have : auto brightness doesn't work as well as it used too.
and google talk signs me out after a while without telling me.
Face unlock didn't seem to make the cut on the Nexus S.
Posted this in the ICS link section... this seems like a better place for it.
Anyone seeing any issues with the completely stock ICS on the TMo version of the nexus S?
Issues I am seeing so far:
Delayed scrolling when I swipe in the web browser. Seems as if the browser is trying to determine if I meant to click a link or scroll and the delay for the OS to decide is MUCH longer than it was on GB. (Maybe that was intended but maybe they over compensated).
The browser exits (doesn't even force close), just exits on certain websites when trying to scroll.
I hear reports of it being "buttery smooth" and honestly mine feels like it is slower than GB.. maybe that is because of my perception that the scrolling is slower...
Curious to see if this is happening to anyone else...

[7/8/16] Meet the new Samsung UI....

From 1st to 4th... New lock screen, new recents, new notification shade (2 pics).
7/8/16- Download latest version of Good Lock app (v24.0.11)
what is this? it doesn't look like anything out right now....how did you get it?
Apparently you can download the apk from sammobile but it's not working for me... I get a parsing package error. I'm on 5.1.1 when I tried this so you probably need 6.0.1 for it to work. On sammobile, the post was towards s7/s7e users through...

quick review:
1. it looks nice, but you can't change the color of the notification panel and toggles
2. the recent apps screen reminds me of older android versions, no picture or tabs, just the name of the app
hope they update it with some more settings

You can change the colours by editing the default routine, or creating a new one.

thanks, but it's a bit annoying, if you make your own profile it needs to have the location toggle on, if you cancel it everytime you wake up the device it asks to enable location toggle, and pressing the recent apps button is slow, and when you press the home button to get to the home screen there is a delay....i guess it's not ready yet

Screen Pinning

I feel very silly since I know that I know my way around Android, but anyone know where screen pinning is on the Axon 7? Looking at the security tab under settings there is no screen pinning option and searching reveals nothing in the settings app. Stock ZTE ROM B27 A2017U. Thanks!
Bump
@J-Pod There is this screen lock thing for apps so you can't get rid of it.

That's smth else... Screen pinning means that one can't leave the app that has been pinned to the screen...
For me it was actually very useful on my last phone when I passed it to children and wanted them to stick with the open app or game rather then to mess around in my phone.. A pity that it seems to be unsupported..
Ah OK. I don't see it in settings.
I have the screen pinning option in my recents list, but I don't see the option in settings.
I could swear it was there before, so it might be missing in the B27 firmware.
B29 should be available soon - hopefully the option will return.

Anyone know if there is a nova launcher shortcut or ADB command that can enable it? Or is it completely torn out of the build?

Sorry, I saw now that I said quick settings instead of notification panel but I corrected it,
I don't have the notification either, although I still have the popup after taking the screenshot. I'm using C02B329. I think this might have been removed in Nougat. I'm speaking under correction, but I'm pretty sure I read about it somewhere. ?

I am also using the same version (C185B360) and I can confirm this. I also got the update via official OTA a few days ago. But I don't think it is a big issue.
I also don't have 'App Twin' feature in settings and notification panel is black (not transparent).
I heard somewhere in the forum that b360 is beta and beta version won't get update. Are we using the beta version or?

At least you get a popup to show that a screenshot was captured, I have to check in the gallery to see if the screenshot was taken, cause if you use your phone in silentmode there is no way to be sure it was taken if you can't hear the screenshot sound

Quick question: have you by any chance changed your animation settings in Developer options? I haven't tested it on Nougat, but with marshmallow, I set my animation duration to off, and the pop-up stopped showing. Turning that back to 0,5x got it back again.
Hopefully that's the case for you, if not, then it's definitely a bug in the firmware.

Oreo beta transparent notifications

Does anyone know how to enable this effect on the beta? I can't find it anywhere.
Any tips would be great.
In the community forums they said that they are not enabled in this build.
It must be buggy, cause mine went transparent yesterday on its own but the notification settings and clear button would appear and disappear.

How's it look?
Guess I should've took a screenshot, didn't think about it at the time. It went back to normal after I rebooted but it looked pretty cool though I guess. The section with the notifications was like a medium transparency and the bottom strip with the buttons was very heavily transparent. Can't remember if the quick settings part was transparent or not.
