Trying Doorbell Problem - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Does anyone on here have a Ring doorbell? I just installed one today and it sucks on my XL. It freezes, I can't talk to who's out there and can't hear them. Also it takes a few seconds when I touch the screen for it to recognize it. Like I hit my home button and 5 seconds later it finally closes the app. The weird thing is it works great on my Nexus 7. Anyway just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or any ideas on how to fix it.

So obviously this was supposed to say Ring Doorbell Problem. How do I fix that. Nothing is going right for me today I guess.

I have the Ring and had similar problems in the beginning. However, it settled down over time. Give it a few days, and maybe uninstall and reinstall the app. Good luck.

Thanks. Hopefully it will settle down. I tried uninstalling and installing but still doesn't work. I don't understand this phone. It seems to have too many problems.

After upgrading my Galaxy S7 to the Android N beta I'm having issues with the Ring videos. Video playback (live or streaming or downloaded and played back) of Ring videos is basically broken. Playback freezes up, only the latter part of the video seems to play for a bit.
Everything is working fine now, maybe a reboot was all that was needed?

I have ring doorbell on my Pixel XL . I had problems hooking it up to my phone . Finally got to hook after an hour. No problems since

It seems like N has some real problems. I can't get my phone to stay connected to my GMC vehicle and apps can cause it to lock up and not work. I had most of the same problems when my 6P updated. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I've figured out the issue. I have a Huawei watch. When my watch is connected that's when the problems happen. No idea how to fix it other than trying to turn off Bluetooth before opening the notification from ring app.

Snapchat

Shot in the dark I guess but since I got this device, Snapchat has been terribly laggy and almost unusable. Specifically when using the keyboard for text. Sometimes when I launch it, the camera is just black for roughly 5 seconds and then the back camera comes on finally. The chat feature is very slow at times and the entire app seems to stall and crash at least once a day. Anyone else notice this?
A quick google search yielded several recent topics on various forums complaining about the same thing, all on 6.0 Marshmallow. Hopefully it's not just this device.
I'm getting this exact thing
I went through that too. Once I had to restart it to make the camera work again. My tip is do not try use volume keys until it load completely. It just frozen the app in a black screen. Isn't perfect but can be used.
It's probably not optimized as well for 6.0 yet
Snapchat hasn't been perfect for me, but I've never experienced any of those issues. The worst I get is a little delay when pressing the home button.

I have had this problem we will have to wait for an update!! Basically that's what I've been telling myself lately about marshmallow

I can tell you guys I had this problem on my Nexus 6 on Marshmallow, it has to be something related to 6.0, I'm on a LG G4 now and snapchat runs just fine.
Kinda laggy for me too. And I can't get it to play a notification sound when I recieve snaps. I have turned it on in settings and I get a notification as normal, but no sound. Does anyone else have this problem?
Just uninstalled it from the n5x will have to limit myself to using it on n72013 it was unusable. Crashes camera failed to load then started to affect the stock camera app, would cause system crashes and could only be sorted with a reboot.
Same here its completely horrible to use of this phone. Phone ****s itself every time I try use it!

The app has been perfectly fine for me, up until the update I got yesterday. Now I see exactly what everyone is talking about....it's completely unusable now.
Our of curiosity...are you guys all encrypted?

Ok never mind then. I've been decrypted since I got the phone, until I took an OTA recently. It's been crap since then, but I guess it's unrelated

stock & encrypted and snapchat runs like poo for me. shame because its one of my most used apps :/
Well again Snapchat just updated, and now I'm back to it working fine again....
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
The past few updates have been good for me luckily.. Just don't try to send a snap while in landscape, I tried to add text and Swiftkey went all wonky and overlayed the screen even after I pressed Home, had to force close Snapchat and Swiftkey both :/
me too I have same issues the lag and so slowly for texting and even after update marshmallow update 6.0.1 the problem still the same I hope can anyone help me with issue what should to do and thanks you
So I am a power snapchat user and had this same problem and might have accidentally stumbled on a possible solution after having a login failure. I enabled the travel mode so it's not downloading constantly. I installed snapprefs and I can't explain why but it's flying now. No lag on window switching or opening the camera. I'm on 6.0.1 December rooted
Everytime I take video from Snapchat, it produces the sound "dug" at the first second of the video, never put my finger too hard on the phone so it isn't bcs of my finger knocking the screen, anybody know why?

Weird issues with Android N on pixel c

I just received my pixel last Thursday and I immediately installed N because I needed to test out split screen for my company's app. Anyway, I have two issues that no one is experiencing. Hoping someone here has some clue.
1.) while playing music, the tablet would suddenly crash. Speakers emit Loud static and the tablet reboots. It ONLY happens when the tablet is sleeping. It doesn't happen in MM. I've tried deleting cache partition, factory reset, reinstalling MM, then upgrading again.
2.) I'm missing theme option in developer menu.
Any clues? I'm running March security update.
I just want to be sure these are not hardware problems. Because I'm running out of return period window.
same here for music.....

If it doesn't happen with MM i guess u don't have to worry.... Remember "N" is in alpha/beta stage at the moment so u can must expect problems , the problems u describe sound like software issues and not hardware related.

Thanks.
Does it happen in other music applications too?
Are you also missing theme option in Developers Menu?
This morning my tablet has been rebooting every 15 mins or so while its not in sleep.

Yeah I am not worried about bugs, I just couldn't find anyone else facing the same issues. On Android N Beta Program page on Google+ everybody said their Pixel C is working fine, no reboots, have dark theme option and music doesnt crash.
I only use Google play music.....my C reboots often....I don't remember now about the theme...(tablet is at home(

All my issues with the Nexus 5X

Hello, i just bought ny Nexus 5X a month ago and i really need some help with some of it's issues:
• Adaptive-Brightness, it's faulty on this phone, coming from an Iphone, where it works perfect, it's really hard to understand how such a simple function has problems working on this phone.
• Notifications, they always come slow, like after a few minutes from when you should normally get them, this is truly unacceptable, because there are times when things need to be done quick and I'm being held back because of this issue. I heard Dose causes this, but ive set it to not interfere with some apps but notifications come in the same, late.
• Facebook Messenger - whenever I open this app, I stay like 3-4 minutes looking at the screen with the contacts for it to load, and it's loading and loading and sometimes I need to restart it, what's up with that?
Anyone else has these problems? If so, please help, maybe it's something wrong with my unit.

-its software issue, download an app about that. its fixed in android N (it would be nice if they fixed it in M too...)
-if you also have the said programs in pc they sometimes interfere. i have noticed that while there is a short delay (2-5s) between pc and phone, sometimes messages take many minutes to arrive. i am not sure what causes that, and i cant remember if it happens both ways :/
-never had such problem, but i have deleted facebook apps anyway. mobile site is fine and you can send messages without messanger anyway. if you use google chrome it even notifies you (also works for firefox in pc but not android)

For the Facebook part, is your internal storage secure? I have been reading up to find out if that's what causes certain apps to load slowly. My wife will not be happy, lol.

Adaptive brightness is PITA on this phone, coming from galaxy S4 and it worked perfectly there.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
While I agree that adaptive brightness is slow on the N5x it's still working fine for me. Did you check reportings of your light sensor?
You can fix your notification problem by setting the apps that you need immediate notification from to be excluded from Doze.
Battery > "more" tab top right corner > battery optimisation (not sure of the exact term as I use German android) > show "all apps" > change apps that you want to be excluded from Doze by marking "don't optimise"
Using fb via their mobile webside, so can't comment there.
I did the Doze part, notifications don't change.I really don't get why would they add features that interfere with something so important as notifications.

Fingerprint sensor stopped working

It worked for the first couple of days then all of a sudden it just stopped working, no error messages, nothing, Google couldn't even figure it out. I feel like someone made a thread on this already but can't find it. Anybody else had this issue and fixed it?

Sorry, I've had mine from the beginning and been in the beta test also from the start. Never had an issue with the sound. If you've recently purchased your pixel you may be able to get a replacement. Otherwise you should try the Google forum for help.

It looks like you have the common Pixel C issue. The current best workaround is to tap on the "OK Google" microphone, wait for the voice response and your "sound" should then be restored. The issue has a long history (March 2016?) .
I have the impression that Google hopes the problem will just go away because the volume of devices sold doesn't justify sorting it out. Various parts of Google have different opinions of the issue. Google telephone support are still acting as if its a hardware fault and swapping devices yet issues in ASOP ( https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/ report it's of little importance, fixed and awaiting roll out and closed through lack of information.
I currently don't have the problem - I suspect it's because I now don't use specific apps to play downloaded mp3's but I don't have the evidence to support that opinion. Now I haven't got the problem I'm not going to look for it.
Their help/support seems to suggest it's a user installed app. Have you tried booting in safe mode? I'm gonna have to try this, but it happens so rarely, once every couple days..
Happened to me on 7.1.2 BETA, so I went back to N4F26I still happens after leaving tablet idle over night after falling asleep listening to youtube. I have to go into setting > google > search > voice > "OK GOOGLE" detection and toggle "always on" off on to get sound back Or reboot..
