Is there lift to wake for ambient display like the Nexus 5X and 6P had? Can't seem to locate it.

I believe Ambient Display provides that.
There are a number of ambient display apps. They have different styles so you can choose which one you might like.
Not what he asked and at this time, sorry no it's not enabled. They must have failed it in pwm tests. They said they are working on it for a future release supposedly. I'm guessing once they get the sensors to stay alive without amping up the CPU cycles.

Do you have a source for where they said they're working on it? I thought it was just a design choice.

I want to say android police about three days prior to the release but I may be incorrect.

This is literally the only thing for me that is missing from this phone for it to be perfect.

Does anyone know what this chip actually does? I mean, I presume it's to improve or accelerate image processing but the phone's a beast at this already so I'm curious if there's more to it than just that.
i mean, if you google it there are a lot of articles that explains it properly

but has anyone enabled 8.1 yet and noticed a difference? speed/quality? doubt anyone will notice power consumption unless taking photos all day.

I heard it's still hidden in preview? Haven't confirmed yet
Haven't found a setting for it in Developers options yet. Maybe in the next preview update...
One good thing it will allow is third party apps to utilize the awesome software behind the Pixels' strong photo abilities. Hopefully meaning we can send better photos with Snapchat
From what's been explained, the chip won't necessarily improve quality, but mainly performance for HDR+.
Just curious why Bluetooth on this phone doesn't display the streaming information across the radio (Uconnect if it matters). My sons s8+ does it as well as my previous Note 8. Just curious if theirs something I'm not doing right.

I've got the same issue. Its not just you.
I'm connecting to a Honda bluetooth system, if that makes a difference.
After 8.1, it works better with my BMW at showing the data, but it's hit or miss. It also stops working if you switch music apps, so only the first one works.

It's because everyone implements Bluetooth items differently and there isn't a "standard" that everyone uses for even basic stuff. Since phone manufacturers implement things differently, device & car manufacturers also need to try and accommodate all the various implementations.

Well I'm still waiting on the Verizon OTA. But i definitely don't like the lack of info on the screen. I have the note sorting beside me... Test driving both... And send like such a simple thing.

Actually, for this kind of thing there is a standard called AVCRP, and the Pixel should support 1.4, but it seems to be the buggiest implementation ever since Android 7

I've noticed in developer options there are numerous settings for Bluetooth... Should i change these for display information?

Try adjusting the AVRCP version.

Flar2, who's one of the best kernel Devs out there, and came up with HBM (high brightness mode) has said that's it not yet possible because of the LG panels that the P2XL uses. So I'm afraid your outa luck for a while bruh ?
Try a different theme which will enable nore contrast.

Thank you for your suggestion Dieselhazza but I need to raise the lux/din of my display over the limits set by Google/Lg.
Do you know if is it possible having also my phone magisked?
Has anyone found a mod to raise the brightness... Anything out there. HBM only pushes to Max Brightness and doesn't support Pixel 2 XL. And I've heard about the screen burn in issues. Obviously it'd be at my own risk as with any mods on these forums.
Greatly appreciated for any support.
Thanks...

No mod as of yet, unfortunately! I know flar2, the Dev for Ex kernel and the app has been trying. However, doesn't sound like the LG panels are conducive to this mod

Cool. Thanks guys. I can always enable high Contrast and theme with brighter colors. Looking for the app. If was a significant difference with Flars work on the Pixel XL.
Gotta travel the next few days and miss it when I'm outside... Although I usually flash back to stock, whenever I'm out and about. I'll be back on Validus by Thursday.
Hey guys i bought the new 8.1 today and i see some problems. I'm just gonna list em just tell me if its there or is there any fixes for those!?
1) Ambient brightness is broke,
2) switching theme to dark doesn't work!
3) display turns off during a call as usual, not turning on while taking it off my ear
4) swiping to other apps hang for a second like 2 times in 50
But seriously disappointed because these are some basic things that aren't working here

1) Ambient brightness was actually learning it seems (My usage), now it seems fine.
2) pixel 3 live wallpapers enforces white theme even if dark is enabled! but dark is working if normal wallpapers or pixel 2017 wallpapers are used!
3) problems 3 and 4 didn't happen after a hard reset.
4) you have calibrate E-compass every restart, it shows wrong North i guess e-compass always sucks
Other than that every things fine..... Can you give me a link of any working arnova's or best gcam mod link if you have any?
Thanks in advance

Use BSG ports. Because BSG using MI 8 and both Mi 8 and Nokia 8.1 have same camera sensors in my knowledge. I am using latest BSG port for Mi 8 in my N 8.1 and everything works fine.

Hi I'm planning to buy one for my next phone.
Is this worth it?
I'm limited by the price or I would go for the A70
I'm very pleased with this phone, only the camera is a little disappointing, coming from S8.
I guess 2 to 1 pixel binning doesn't work very well in 2d. A70 (and A51) have 4 to 1. S-series have larger pixels on the sensor, with only 12 MP more detail and less noise.

That can be fixed via Software improvement.
But I'm thinking about the future development of this phone,,
I mean, will we get ROM and other supports by the Devs in the future...

Wait for A51, it'll come out soon if it already isn't in your country. Better cameras and what's more important better fingerprint sensor.

Devs don't seem to be very interested in supporting this phone for a number of reasons. So I'm not expecting any good custom roms soon.

I bought it today, dont care about camera at all. What i need is good screen, and this phone have it. Never Xiaomi again, my Mi 9 Lite had issue with stupid touch delay on edges of the screen had to return it.
Lack of custom roms suck but i can live with One UI after debloating.
