Things changed after stable pie update - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

I find display to be on better side thn earlier, auto brightness is actually working fine. I also find camera to be better thn before both normal and portrait. Theme option is added and other pie updates.
But I thing app opening is bit Slow, needs to be improved. I could not find Digital wellbeing but at play store it shows that it's installed.
Will update other changes, please share the changes. I may be wrong on some facts

I feel ram management has improved.

Ditigal wellbeing should be available in settings menu only, not as an app

It's not there in settings, could not find

Is LG / android blocking the installation of non official apps?

Tried today to update a bunch of apps that aren't available in the play store, but can't install them. The install/update menu shows however the Install button seems disabled, I can only but cancel for every app.
It must be something wroing with my phone, installing from adb works.

Are you using a screen filter app like twilight/screen filter etc.? Because of security measures it wont let you install anything while an app interferes with the display. Try turning it off and it should work.

Yes, it was that. I had enabled the app Bluelight Filter for Eye Care for pleasure. After disabling it temporarily from notification bar I could install any app again!! :fingers-crossed: (I already had enabled unknown sources, in case someone asks). I can't be so happy, was about to hard reset the phone.

NO.
It will not solve his problem.
• The Auto Update option is for Apps (that are installed on our device)
• Not for the Playstore.
• He want to stop Playstore from auto-updating.
We can't stop Playstore from updating itself.

Oh...come on.
Atleat first try to understand my problem.
Google play store auto update is so annoying in Nougat/marshmallow.
Maybe we can delete it and replace with a very early version that doesn't phone home all the time?
And what the heck is Google play services for instant apps?

If I replace the google play store apps by earlier versions in system ....I think it also will try to update.
Though I will try.
Thanks Raymond. Can you please try this technique here:

Sorry if I came of as a bit rude and sorry for the late reply. I misunderstood your problem was apps auto-updating by themselves and not the google play store itself.
As for the play store auto-updating by itself, can't you restore to factory version in the app settings?
Just uninstall the update and back to playstore factory version.

How To Get Latest Camera Update So Portrait Mode Works On Front Camera

Many people are receiving their Pixel 2 with Camera version 5.0.009 and cannot update it to the new version 5.1.014. The difference is that version 5.0.009 does not allow Portrait mode on the front camera. When you go to update in the Play Store, it doesn't show an update. All you have to do is clear the data for Google Play by following these directions.
Go to Settings> Apps &Notifications> Google Play> Storage> Clear Data
Then check your Google Play Store and It should show an update for the Camera.
This actually directed me to update well over 20 apps, and fixed me pixel launcher issues. Thanks!
Google should release some update in the Play Store servers to push the latest versions when the user manually check for updates...
Wow 12 updates

Yeah pretty interesting, doing this fixed a lot of software issues I was having (in particular the pixel launcher was janky and missing some features). In my opinion this should be something everyone should do once they have their pixels set up.

Update: within a day, the update showed up along with like 12 other updates. Its like google had to process that I had a pixel before it served me the updates. I recommend waiting a day or two and then reinstalling the stock one and seeing if you can install.
This didn't work for me but I was able to Google that APK and install 5.1
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-5-1-014-171916386-release/
Yesterday, I received my new Pixel 2... and SORPRISE! Neither me haven't the latest version (5.1). I've deleted the store's data and I haven't seen the most recent version... Why does this happen?
I only got it through the link "apkmirror.com". I'm rather disappointed with Google.
Check Permissions
Check the Play Store permissions. As soon as I accepted the Location permission, all of the missing updates, including the camera showed up.

I don't get download progress notification either on my Pixel 2 XL.. I get notifications for apps available to update though

What could be the reason for this as, notifications for download is controlled by download manager and notification from setting for that is on and all other downloads are showing when in progress, only Google play store behaving like this.
