[SOLVED] Timers

Solved: See post #7
I used to be able to Ok, Google and say "set countdown timer 2 minutes and 30 seconds" and it did it. Now when I do it, it brings up a screen to choose between either 2 minutes or 3 minutes. Did this start with the last update, or is there a setting I'm missing?
Edit: I contacted Moto 360 chat support and their response was to take it back to place of purchase!!

I was just about to complain about this, it was so handy to set count down timer without the need to touch the watch. Now it will just show the blue bullet menu and you have to confirm by touching the watch.... stupid....
Many complaints about it on google product forum

Yes, I found that too. Hopefully it'll be back again.

Same issue with Lg g watch and google now on 5 different phones...

It seems like it broke on the last Wear update on the phone for me.

The issue has been posted in a few forums. I went ahead and did a review of Android Wear in the Playstore to report it. It probably won't hurt to have a lot of users report it via a review in the Playstore.

I think I found a fix for the countdown timer. On your phone, say OK Goggle, set countdown timer to 2 minutes and 45 seconds. (Any off the wall time will work). After it's done on your phone, try your Moto 360 now. It's working for me. If someone would confirm that it works, I'll rename to title of the thread to help others.

Problem is fixed now
They pushed update this morning.

Which update? I haven't gotten any update.
Edit: I just got the update, curious to know if the update fixes the timer issue. At the time I posted my fix, I had not gotten the update.

Idk if i got the update but i sure dont remember updating the Wear app. Although the fix you posted worked like a charm

Update for Verizon

I just got prompted for 12a (VS98612A). My update was unsuccessful because I'm rooted.
Apparently there are many updates (over 450 MB).
Here is the only link I could find.
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/09/tou...g-out-a-huge-system-update-that-could-fix-it/

I got the update and seems to have wrecked Google Hangout notifications. Was getting them just fine until after the update.
1) checked notifications were turned on .. they were.
2) messages are coming in only after I check.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts - no change.
4) wiped cache and reset defaults.

Did it help touch screen issues (if you were having them)?

I'm curious about touch screen issues as well. I did not realize how much it bothered me till I used a samsung phone the other day and not a single miss. It was bliss!

Assuming this is a StageFright patch? I'm rooted as well, but if this does patch StageFright, I want it. Any advice on how to get it and stay rooted?

This

I've got sync issues as well after the update. Not happy about this at all. When the lollipop update came on the g3 the same thing occured. Had to disable ipv6 on the phone or get it working properly on a router.
I have not tried a reset yet.

Holy cow, I was able to scroll through Facebook without clicking on a story every time I scrolled and liking stupid memes! Using my finger to move the cursor when selecting a word is so much easier now too.

Do we have confirmed fixes for the touchscreen? Or is it just placebo effect right now. I'd love to hear some honest feedback. I'm currently rooted and running xposed but if reverting to stock and taking 12a fixes touchscreen issues it would be worth it for me [as long as root for 12a will be possible ]

For me it's definitely not placebo. Knock on is working great. No problems scrolling now. I got used to it before but now it seems like a new phone. I was getting jealous of my wife's s5 but not any more.

Looks like just the Google acct isn't syncing, still getting notifications via Facebook. A lot of accounts disappeared in the settings -> accounts menu (Facebook , Microsoft)
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

So after a few hours on this update I can tell you that I didn't notice ANY touchscreen misses at all. Also less lag with opening and transferring of big apps. Even tapping the google search bar worked immediately without extra taps or lag. So as much as I like root, it's crazy to figure out what an actual working phone feels like again. Maybe someone will root 12a. Hopefully.
Edit: and no missing account anything on my particular device either.

So if we rooted 11A, do we have to kdz to get the update?

Not yet. That is my next step. Have to wait until Monday because I'm running GOOD Work and will need a new pin after the wipe. I also removed and re-signed in to my Google account. Right now notifications with Hangouts are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't, sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes.
As for the touch screen issues. I have noticed a major improvement. Can scroll through FB without clicking a picture or a link unexpectedly. Also, better hits when I'm typing a character using the edge of the screen, letters, numbers, and hitting the send button. Registers every time now. Also, noticed that when connected to bluetooth in the car, the radio displays song information again.
So there are definitely a few improvements I've noticed.

Camera was also updated. There is an actual "slo-mo" button now. It seems like an update with some meat to it.

You could try the super user unroot option and update, probably have to wait for a confirmation to root this version.

Can someone pull the camera apk and upload it, maybe us on 11a can utilize the update.

This update seems to have wrecked all my notifications actually..Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Seems like its only Google applications..

I can definitely say the phone is much smoother than it was before. No more missed letters while typing, and mistaps whole scrolling. Sucks it took so long to get this update, but the phone is working like it should have from day 1.

Did you remove your Google account and set it back up again?
I noticed after the update I wasn't getting notifications when an email arrived. Disconnecting and reconnecting my Google account fixed that.
Otherwise I feel your pain. Hangouts notifications are still hit or miss.

Screen Flashing When Locked

My screen flashes when the screen locks. It does this for a bit and then just randomly stops doing it, until it starts again. I've contacted Google and they won't let me do an RMA saying it's a known issue and should be fixed in a coming update. Anyway else have this issue?

Well hopefully. Thanks.

Well I'm running the April update and the flashing issue returned today again. Still no fix. Ugh.

Mine started doing it after the April update. I started uninstalling a bunch of apps (like rotation control) thinking it was causing the issue. But nope...

Clearing cache and data, disable, & re-enable helps.

Not happening all the time. Does it for like 10 mins then stops for a week or two before randomly doing it again.

It's infuriating, as people keep thinking I'm taking their photo. Anyone heard anything more about a fix?

Long discussion in Pixel product forum. No fix helped yet. I have heard that Google isn't allowing replacements because of the flashing; which hopefully means that they are working on a fix.

We'll have a new security update in a few days - I have everything crossed!

My XL started doing it today. Think I updated yesterday to the 5 May patch.
Just rebooted and it stopped. But I'm sure it will return

I am on the P beta and so far the screen flickering disappeared.

Same here... Good so far.

Any updates on this? Still good on P beta? I have a brand new 2 xl (Literally 5 days old) and just started experiencing this today. Should I just wait for P to release or should I go back to the verizon store and get a replacement?

I just picked up the XL 2 yesterday and my screen started flashing today. Called Google support and they said it is a software issue and that they are working on a fix for it and will roll it out in an update. Seems rather strange they've heard about this for 6 months and still no update as of yet. My bet is that this "fix" is Android p.

App restarts / kill

Does anyonr have a problem with your device like on me. Basically I play games, it will lag hard and kill the app and i have to restart again the game. On Fb messenger and other apps, whenever I'm typing, it will randomly restart the app..
I'm very confused, it wasn't doing this before march update.
any ideas?
ps. while i was writing this, chrome closed and had to open again to continue typing.. happened twice.

Is your phone totally stock and no mods? I've never had apps getting killed or force closing on their own.

Any luck?
I feel like I"m having similar issues....perhaps since the April 2018 Security Update?!? I first noticed that Words With Friends kept bumping me back to the "select a game" screen, and then I noticed that the Yandex Launcher would crash regularly (and restart). I switched to the stock Pixel Launcher, but it seemed like things were restarting themselves -- even articles within Google Now. Just really odd behavior. What really gets me is that most of these issues appear to happen MUCH more frequently at night than during the day, which is f*cking nuts, I know.
Not quite sure what to do.

I don't know how i did it. But i re "flash-all" my device. Like 3x and got no more problem. Do not sideload it.

I think it's the April update.
Have two on family account, and both are 100% stock, no mods. They both occasionally reboot Messages, Maps, and a few other apps....

Pixel 3 XL navigation no longer working

This just happened to my phone for whatever reason. The bottom portion of my screen (where navigation is located) will not work any longer. I know the touchscreen is still working, because i can scroll down a website and it still will recognize touch but not if I am trying to use the navigation buttons. I have tried gesture, 2/3 button but none of them work. I even flash a stock image (didn't do a full wipe just unrooted it) to see if this would fix. If anyone has a fix for this please let me know.
Thanks!

I came here to see if anyone else was having the same issue! Yes, i have to hit the docked icons several times before they open. wasn't an issue a day or two ago......
Sucks but glad to see i'm not alone. must've been some kind of play services update or something that broke it.

It's very annoying. I figured something happened with my root, but i unrooted and problem still persists. Basically unusable as i have to go back through apps instead of going home .

Yep having the same issue. The dock icons aren't always working, but the screen does because I can still scroll everywhere.

I also noticed that not all of my screen is being used. I black bar bezels on the sides of my screen. Looks like a full reset is inbound when I get home.

Ok, i was on plays services 19.4.20 and updated to the beta and now this is fixed!
Here is the beta version from apk mirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-19-5-28-release/google-play-services-19-5-28-120400-273329419-android-apk-download/
you can install this app to quickly check your version. it used to link right to apk mirror but they took the functionality out unfortunately: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.serviceinfo
whew - glad that was an easy fix! hopefully it doesn't auto-update and break it again or something.

This has been going on with me since a mid september update. JUNK PHONE this pixel 3!!! First phone by google that I really hate. Contacted google about that, they asked me to clear all cache from the UI, play, etc... I still have the same issue...
I have stock, no root.
