No option for gesture navigation - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Haven't seen this anywhere, but after updating to Pie I don't have the option for gesture navigation (swipe up from home). Maybe it's cause I upgraded rather than a fresh wipe? Is there some other way to trigger it, maybe with console commands?

I can get to the gesture screen fine. The option for swipe up for home just isn't listed.

This is strange. It's listed in mine.

I have the same issue and have been looking to see if anyone else did.
The difference is I did the flash-all.bat (without the -w), had the option for it and used it for a while, rooted with magisk, then it disappeared.
I've been too busy and lazy to try to reflash everything and start over and have been waiting to see if there's a console command, haha. At least you're not alone!

That was how I upgraded too (the flash-all method) I wonder if that's it? So far that's the only issue and I prefer the old navigation bar anyway, but I hate having the choice taken away. That's why if there's a workaround (like a console command) I'd be fine. Everything else is perfect though.

swipe up on home button click on this and change it
i did remove the -w on fash-all.bat but its just fine i don't have any problem

FYI, I titanium backuped, did a clean flash, and restored everything and it did fix it. Not sure what the issue was, but if it comes to it, that will work.

I started to get a few other small issues (couldn't toggle srgb mode for example), so I dirty flashed the stock image again. No change. Backed up internal storage and cleaned flash and I'm all good now too.

Well clearly you know the proper code if you've gotten so far as it not finding the accelerometer. I've only had this happen to me once, and I think it was a combination of doing the terminal command and trying the built in calibration. Either way, I was unable to find a manual way of fixing it besides wiping data 3X and re-flashing. I did not have to go back to stock, however.

Once you have your phone happy, you may want to look into MyBackup Root. It's a great program for backing up all of your apps and their data. Or you can pick and choose which ones you wish to back up, and likewise choose which to reinstall. It's very useful. However, if you're switching Roms at any point, do not backup and restore Android and System settings across two different Roms as you'll likely encounter issues.

Ipvanish Application on stock 5.1.4

Okay every app I use works just fine but I never tried Ipvanish until now. I have a subscription. When I log into the app you're greeted with the green "connect" button, but when I press it nothing happens...no pop ups. Nada.
Pc works fine. Girlfriends Le Eco Pro 3 ipvanish fine. But on this phone nothing happens...
I have the xXx magisk 3.0 addon but I tried this before and after to no avail. Any ideas?
Just dis a clean flash of everything. Hooked up to the PC and even facstboot erased boot, then flashed the latest update just relwased today the full OTA, and a clean flash with everything wiped IP vanish still doesn't work.
Seriously. Anyone else have IP vanish and is it working for you?
Do you have smart pixels enabled? If so disable them force stop the app then try again.

Negative, I am just on a fresh copy of stock 5.1.4. Literally no apps besides snapchat, google related apps and ipvanish. Haha
When I click connect it does nothing.

Well you're are experiencing the EXACT same issue I had on AOSP with the EXACT same app, IP Vanish.
I don't use stock. Are you certain there's no smart pixels feature in the settings? You can type it into the search box up top & see. If not then I'm not sure. Good luck.

Yeah I hear yuh I was using a custom rom last week that had smart pixels and nothing was freaking working in that rom even without touching it, so I went back to stock. I have had really bad drains and stuff too lately which is unusual.
I searched for it and theres nothing there. I downloaded a pixel app on the playstore just for kicks to no avail.
I think tonight i'll redo my phone AGAIN, and fastboot erase/format everytjing including recovery because why not! And flash stock again, with no verity, and see what happens, then add magisk and the xXx mod ontop again and see. I'll update yuh. Thanks for lookin out though!
Okay. IDK what happened but I fastboot erase/formatted everything, erased recovery, flashed new trwp and I couldn't for the life of me get a USB c drive to work, so after like 2 hours of flashing and FINALLY getting the phone to decrypt, I flashed the xXx package again and logged in, downloaded IPVanish and THIS time, it finally threw a prompt to give access or whatnot. I could NOT get that to go on any of my previous roms...lol
So i'm all good now.

Android q beta 2

Anyone running Android Q beta 2 ? Can you make a comparison to Pie in terms of speed or apps that crash or hang? TIA
I have no apps crashing and no apps unable to start. Performance and battery are identical to Pie.
The Android Q is definitely a daily driver for me.
EDIT: The only single issue I have is that double-tap or lift to wake are not working.

How best to backout of the AndroidQ beta2?
Installed but Android Auto is playing up so want to go back to v8
Can't mount system partition R/W on Marlin using TWRP 3.2.3-1 once updated to AQB2 (although I did a dirty update by removing the -w erase flag from the bat file before executing.) Guess I'll try nuking everything and rebuilding from scratch to see if the partitions will mount R/W to install Magisk...
Is anyone able to set his own mp3 ringtone on this?

As you can see in this screenshot, it's working just fine. You have to install the latest Magisk canary build. TWRP won't work to do some backups, but you can flash it fine.
Been running Q2 for a few days and is a great daily driver. As soon as Nova paid was installed I have no complaints
and battery life has been excellent. Coming from the Essential phone rooted this has been a pleasant surprise. For 180.00 new
unlocked on Sprint this is a good deal. I also prefer the 16x9 screen and camera.
So, I have some weirdness going on…
I screwed up and tried to install the last P build after getting the ota beta Q update….i had issues (possibly of my own making).
Realized that trying to go back wasn’t going to work so I thought I would just reinstall the Q beta version 2, I downloaded it…all seemed well until I wanted to get to “settings”
I can pull the “curtain’ down and see a few quick access icons (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode…) but it won’t pull farther down (second swipe) to see other options and the “settings” gear at the top. I also don’t seem to be getting notifications, I hear them but don’t see an icon.
I also can’t get to the setting that allow me to transfer files.
Any ideas?
Edit: also can't get to my app drawer...
Edit 2: home button doesn't work either...
I got it, it must have been a bad "dirty flash", did a clean install, and all is working as expected...except,
I've got root but can't see my internal storage with ES file explorer (I can see it when using my PC) (or any other root explorer) and can't edit my build.prop (can't save it)

I did a clean flash, and had the same issue with the internal storage. It was weird though because chrome couldnt see it either, and kept failing to get permission to store files. Doing another Wipe now to try and resolve it...

Wasn't talking about hotspot specifically.... The issue with Chrome is still there, still not able to download anything, as it pops up that it needs permission, I hit continue...and nothing. It normally gives the permission request notification here, but it does not.

Right, I don't think I've tried to download anything with chrome, I want the permissions so I can edit the buildprop file.
Having just checked, I also cannot download anything using chrome, Opera doesn't seem to have a problem, though. I didn't check any other browsers

After clean flash, still having the same issue with the downloads. Going to Solidexplorer shows that the sdcard partition never created a Download folder. Chrome also is completely not working now, so definitely rolling back until it's resolved.

Thanks I also adb sideloaded the update and your right it's very smooth
I was able to upgrade. But update bricked my phone. Phone freezes with "G" logo and progress bar bellow. I've posted on twitter, but no reply from google.
I always update by downloading the zip image and removing the -w parameter in the .bat file inside, worked great with beta 6.
Have any of u guys problems with facial recognition? i had mine set it up and now its not working

Enable quick wallet access Google Pay for Pixels running Android 10

Has anyone got this working? I've done everything and the new power menu appears and the Cards and Passes does show up in gestures for about 30 seconds and then disappears. When press the power button it only shows the new power menu and not the cards.
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-quick-wallet-access-google-pay-pixel-android-10/#disqus_thread
Same issue here. I don't even get the option for cards and passes in gestures menu....
i had to reboot like three times and then the cards magically appeared. It's not something that works instantly.

Thanks. There is something else connected. I did this mod yesterday and have rebooted multiple times. Are you on a custom kernel?

Got it working, but my option to enable it appeared in a different place.
Maybe do a reboot, put your code in if you have one, and then just let the phone sit for awhile.

Well the dev didn't specify in his installation instructions that you needed to be on a stock kernal. The only requirement was to be in Android 10. I've tried a few reboots and nothing.

Those are the correct modules and it should be up and running.
After reading things, they sound like scripts so that's why I suggest letting it sit for a little after you boot up. Try reinstalling the modules and try to get the option to come up for you once more.

Ok I'll try and reinstall all those modules. Yes as they are scripts it may take a few minutes to run but they don't. Not sure if the permissions should be changed or correct. The creater has another module like this for the live caption which I installed and again are scripts and run perfectly so not sure what's going on. After multiple reboots it appears in gestures and just disappears and nothing happens. See attached.

Tried reinstalling all the modules again and toggling the switch on and off and while doing it in gestures again it just disappeared. No idea what's going on. Not sure if one of my modules is conflicting with this module or not? Just strange it's kind of the same script as live caption but just does not want to play ball
