Had the same problem a few days ago, at first I thought it was faulty hardware or a bug with the stock firmware.
But it was working perfectly fine the minute before, so I suspected it may be related to something I was doing with the phone at the time.
After some experimenting, I have come to the conclusion that it's somehow affected by (multiple) Google Play apps downloading/installing. During this state, if the system idles and automatically turns off the display, there's a great chance that I can not wake up the phone. I did not try manually turning off the screen.
After the apps have all finished installing completely, I can't repro the problem. (Might have rebooted once, can't remember)
Maybe it's the same situation as yours or your friend's, hope this helps.

Yes, I have a feeling that this is the case.
My Z1C is fine, but I have experienced something similar with my Z Ultra.
It is hard to pinpoint exactly what the cause is, but multiple download and screen turning off reminds me of the situation when I run my U-torrent app on my ZU. At first I thought it was screen of death that was affecting some of the device back then on the older firmwares, but came to understand that it is the torrent app causing the probs.
So multiple play store apps download can possibly have similar issues!

Hmmm, no apps downloading at the time, just killed all of the background apps and seems to have worked
Cheers guys

It's a common issue I've found with pretty much any Android device (experience of it on Samsung Galaxy S, HTC One X, and now Sony Xperia Z1 Compact).
It's rare, but whenever I notice it, it's always linked to the phone doing a complication of heavy task processing (such as installing apps) at the same time as heavy downloads (such as downloading apps).
If I've left my apps for a while, and then update say 30 all together, you'll get this issue on pretty much any android phone while it's trying to hammer away at the other tasks it's doing.

Have the same issue here, without any Google Play downloading going on. I didn't have that on my previous Android phone (Motorola Droid RAZR).
I noticed that rebooting the phone cures the problem for a while, but I would like to solve the problem once and for all.

Exactly the same for me too..... nothing to do with downloading or installing heavy or light apps..... even when nothing else is running......

Hi guys.. I have the same problem for the last few days... (Croatia)... Maybe it is global issue??

Any solution?? I have the same problem here...

a solution
I just had to deal with this. Power button gets progressively worse til it never responds again. You can remap other buttons but you're stuck once it powers off!
The cause is that the ribbon cable connector for the power & volume buttons worked itself loose. It can be fixed by putting a little foam pad on it to discourage it from coming loose again. I think it's amanufacturing fault - there should have been one put on at the factory. The connector is under the screen; you don't need to disassemble anything else, but the screen is very, VERY easy to break when removing - heroic patience required

"Always On" feature in huawei watch doesnot work

Hi,
I am facing a big problem with Huawei watch.
After i charge the watch, Always On feature doesnot work even if those options are turned on.
I have to Factory Reset the watch every time i charge it, to make that feature work.
I love this watch and am very much worried.
Please suggest any solution. Thank you.

Get an RMA for warranty service.
Mine works fine, and I have not see that mentioned before, but I could have missed it.

I live in india but watch is from US... Else i would have taken to sevice centre already

Could you have interfering software? Also when you say factory reset do you really mean factor reset or just reboot?

Hi,
I have recently started facing the same issue. I have been using this watch for 6 months but since yesterday it has been turning the screen off after 5-10 seconds (even if AlwaysOn is marked as On). It worked on the same watch face perfectly fine till a few days back. I don't think any software updates were pushed recently. Haven't tried a factory reset yet but changed watch faces and didn't work.
Also I'm in the same boat as @getchethanbr, bought this watch in the US and am now in India.
EDIT: Last I remember that I was running low on batter two says back and the watch gave an option of Batter Saver (OR Boost) and I turned it ON. Now I can't find the setting. May be that is the one turning off screen to save battery. Does any one remember such a setting?

I think my case is suspiciously similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/help/watch-stuck-battery-saver-mode-t3344409. If I find a solution to it, I will post back.

Look in the watch developer options for the Ambient enabled/disabled setting.

It looks like this problem already figured out, but read in that other thread that you have to drain battery until you see the 'battery saver card' again and swipe over to 'disable' ... someone in other thread mentioned this toggle option probably left out by accident in an update

GPS issues using Maps

I don't know if it's just my unit or there is an inherent problem with the pixel XL 2. It cannot seem to register my location accurately even with high accuracy on. Directions has been useless for me over the last few days. Anybody else have this issue?
If it does not improve rapidly, I'm going to start an RMA...
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA-Developers Legacy app

i started a RMA this morning after going thru support trying all their troubleshooting steps with no luck.. GPS can lock at times.. but seems to not hold too well..
the reliability of it is very reminiscent of the early batch of Nexus 5 phones.. which were also LG built.... goodness gracious.. history is repeating itself again..

I'm guessing it's your phones. Mine holds lock perfectly. Used navigation for almost 8 hours over the weekend. Never lost connection once.

Actually, it just started working correctly when I got home to MN from NY, so I happy now...

Op. Have you tried 8.1 dev?

The question is what settings do you have on? i usually have wifi and gps on since wifi can help with locking into your location at times.
Have you tried making sure wifi is on as well?

I have this exact same issue.
I find if you toggle the GPS off and back on, it immediately starts working again, only to stop working in another 1-2 navigation sessions.

I've noticed the same thing - toggling location services off and on fixes the issue when it happens, which makes me suspect it's a software issue.
I use my GPS A LOT between navigation and playing pokemon go, and the issue has only happened 3 times over the last 1 1/2 weeks. I imagine a lot of people wouldn't notice the issue if they don't use GPS too often, as for the most part, it works perfectly.

Yeah. I do a lot of on demand delivery, so I'm using my GPS and navigation ALL day long.

Somewhat off-topic, but for those of you who are using GPS and maps all day long, is there any way to get the screen to turn off between turns? I am finding that my battery is draining a lot faster than usual compared to previous phones.
I wouldn't make such a big deal about it, if it didn't take 4 hours for this thing to charge...

Same here. On demand delivery and moonlight as a driver.
My Pixel 1 didn't have this issue.
I noticed that GPS would not work 3/10 times when I use Google maps. Resetting the map app wouldn't work at all.
I'll try toggling "location" on and off the next time I noticed GPS not working.
Aside: I experienced screen burn in with the Pixel 1. Some I use maps often, the navigation bar would always be up. Google should hide the navigation bar. I guess I'll try immersive mode to lessen the chance of screen burn in.

I remember there used to be a setting that maps would put the phone asleep and then the screen on when a your approaching a turn.
I guess they removed that feature. I don't see it anymore.

Just had these issues again. My GPS keeps showing me that i'm facing in the wrong direction, often times by a 90 or 180 degree angle. So if it tells me to turn right on the map, how do i know where to turn if it shows i'm facing the wrong direction? Restarted, no difference.

Did you try recalibrating the compass? I've had that issue on a Samsung before which was fixed with compass recalibration

I haven't tried the 8.1 Dev update yet, but I just got the November 2017 update with some fixes and screen setting changes and it did NOT fix this issue for me.

I second your compass need calibration. Has maps asked you to calibrate? My GPS was off today on maps, it asked me to calibrate and that fixed the issue.

same issues
I'm having the same problems with my Pixel 2 XL, and it is shown clearly with the GPS Status app - at times my GPS signal will toggle on and off randomly, with no reliability whatsoever. Other times it simply refuses to initialize. I haven't tried turning location services on and off yet, but I did get a warranty replacement phone from Verizon, and it had the same issue. I opted to return the replacement phone, since there was no fix.
I've got video of the failure, but I can't seem to post it as I'm too new to the forum.

I had this yesterday, it was an exact 180 degrees off (opposite direction). Recalibration couldn't fix it.

Did anyone do an RMA yet? Did it resolve the issue.
I thought the November update would fix it, but it hasn't.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled maps and I still have the issue. I would see my location being tracked on Google maps as I'm driving but Google maps wouldn't provide me turn by turn directions. It'll just be a dot instead of the arrow.
The only way to get it to work is by toggling location off and on.

Pixel 2 XL GPS problem - possible fix.
Hi
I've been having the same problem, my phone would not find the GPS satellites. I found that if I set location services to device only the GPS was not picking up any satellites. I turned location services off, restarted the phone and turned location service on, opened the GPS satellite app I have and the satellites appeared. This might be worth a try. I can't report that this solves the problem long term but it's been working for a few minutes which is better than before!!

Pixel 2 GPS problem - possible fix
Update on post yesterday.
GPS is still working without any obvious issues.

Recent apps not showing

Whenever I click on recent apps the phone shows no recent apps..after I first encountered this issue I did a factory reset and it worked for 24 hrs and then I have the same issue... Phone is on latest update.

I also faced this issue. I could pinpoint to some changes made in my Settings, and after I reverted these I got it all back. Now which really effects is a wide window, but I could broadly point it to display settings and few apps which I had disabled. So, you may try re-enabling any disabled apps and reverting settings one-by-one.
Splendid colour settings was the last I enabled, but now I haven't faced this issue again.

My issue was resolved by but it happened all of a sudden

I am trying to replicate the issue, if I make some headway I will post it.

Dont know how its happen,when phone keep in safe mode..and after restarting from safe mode its working now.

I have faced this issue twice. I am not sure on the resolution. I personally had to reset it both the times to get it working. As far as the cause goes... The first time I faced the issue when I tried to install XDA gesture navbar app. Even after uninstalling the app the recent button didn't work. I can confirm before that the recent button was working.
The second time was the next day itself. I factory resetted the phone and I was on my way to office in bus when I decided to install a oreo launcher 'Launcher oreo 8.1' which i used flawlessly on my moto g5 plus. And after installation of oreo launcher and setting it as default launcher my recent apps was gone. The problem started occuring. As you may have guessed uninstalling it didint help. After that I have not installed any launchers and everything is working fine. This weekend I will try to recreate the scenario and see if I can find any resolution to this. I thought it was a unique problem to my device and it occurred for the tweaking and everything. But now it seems that other people are also facing these issues with different triggers.

I am facing the same issue. It happened all of a sudden today. I did not install anything new.
Any tips to resolve this except from factory reset?
Please help!

Update
Wokring now. Switched to safe mode and uninstalled zenui dialer, weather and launcher apps to old version.
Not sure which app is causing this.

Booting into safe mode works. First power off normally, then hold power button to power on, release it when the Asus logo comes and hold down volume down button( dont press power button). Then use the recent apps button and restart normally.
I faced the same issue after the OTA update but this fix has been working for the last 5 hours just fine.

for rebooting in safe mode,press and hold power button>press and hold on power off option>pop up appear to go in safe mode

Disable zenmotion and reboot. Worked for me. What a broken phone!

Don't bother factory reseting, it won't fix it.

I haven't noticed battery improvements for any phone that ever claimed better battery. I always have to top up every phone I've had after work. I'm a heavy user tho, but no phone has ever given me "amazing" battery. This phone is no different. I've had A LOT of different phones too.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Also experiencing double notification sounds for some incoming messages. Mostly annoying but would like to see a fix.
Messages version: 3.4.048, last updated 8/7/18

I've been running the beta from the start without this problem on my Pixel XL. Just updated my wife's Pixel XL and she reported the problem to me. It wasn't until I enabled and disabled this feature that I had this problem. Now I can't turn it off. It seemed to start after installing the Digital Wellbeing Beta. Wouldn't that be ironic.

I got an update for Messages last night and now I'm finally seeing suggested replies in the notification shade. Also...now the notification sound when sending is working but it's not using the 'swoosh' type sound and instead is using the sound I have picked when receiving messages.

Yeah I just got the pie update on my phone (Pixel 2 XL) and I can't seem turn off outgoing notifications. I went to settings and clicked that setting off. It still will not turn off. I never even knew my phone had this function until this update but it is driving me crazy.

Just switched to Pie on my Pixel 2 XL two days ago and got the messages update as well.
I have the same issue as a few others have mentioned, I now have an outgoing sound when previously I did not and there is no way to turn it off. The switch in Messages to turn it on/off does nothing and it is the same sound as the 'received' message notification.

Well I got it to stop but can't get it to turn back on. I went into settings -> apps -> messages (app) -> storage and cleared both the storage and cache. Now it no longer sends out going message sounds. The problem is I can't turn it on or off. Lucky for me I just want it off.

Silly question: does clearing cache and storage delete all of your messages? This happened immediately after I upgraded my Pixel 2 XL to Pie....like everyone else.

Sadly it was only a temp fix. Today the outgoing sound came back.
