phone overlay not going away aftee ended call? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I love the way some of the Google apps like phone, maps , etc overlay on home screen.
However it seems that sometimes mine persist after ending a call. Anyone else have this bug?

Are you talking about the chathead-like bubble for the phone app while you're on a call but on a different app? It always disappears for me whether they hang-up or I hang-up on them.

I have the same issue sometimes, it started to happen on P stable. I just force close the phone app and it goes away

keyboard not working at times?

seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?
Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.
Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?
is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh
i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?
i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.
My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

i'm on Fresh 3.1.0.1
Have u guys tried a different keyboard? Like the Droid x keyboard?
I'm on fresh too and I notice this bug. Only in messages though.

I'm running stock froyo and this happens quite often to me as well. If I wait a few seconds after I notice nothing typing on my screen it will eventually catch up and let me type normally again. This happens daily.

What keyboard are people using? I thought it was a Swype thing, but it sounds like the problem is more general.

Yea it is a general problem i uninstalled all my keyboards and have the stock one and i still get the same problem

Screen stops working randomly

I was just wondering if this happens to anyone else. So sometimes I go to unlock and the screen doesn't let me do anything, it happens not just when unlocking but when I'm using the phone too, it's really annoying when I'm trying to text someone back or try to answer a call. It doesn't happen all the time so I could live with it....but I'm wondering if anyone has a fix or has the same problem.
Also I have my phone rooted and g3 tweaksbox, and I turned off the knock in code..I don't know if any of these have factors.

Is it lag? Does it only happen for a few seconds before it starts again?
It's not lag..I don't think unless it's a really long lag ?... I turn my screen on and off and it would still be frozen. Maybe after a few mins of turning the screen off and on again it will work...

Sounds faulty i think.I'd get the phone freezing for a few seconds before it responded, but that was lag.
Aww man that would suck if it was... That's the only problem I have!

i had this problem..it would lock up..freeze and i had to wait for a min or so to come back to life..a hard reset fixed it
Oh okay! That is good to know...I guess I'll be trying that soon
I have the same issue as well.
It's not that the screen "stopped" working. It works, except there's no update on the screen. As if the entire phone is frozen, but it's still giving me haptic feedbacks. Except, actions aren't being reflected on the UI; things like, tapping home navbar button, doesn't take me to the launcher, tapping up/back doesn't take me to the previous screen. I can lock/unlock the phone, but I'd return to the whatever page of the app that corresponds to the back/up command I previously made.
I think, the easiest way I can summarize this is that the OS stopped doing visual updates, while there's actually stuff going on despite that "stuck" screen.

Proximity Sensor still not working

I'm so fed up with these phones.
Is anyone else still having issues where when you go to make a call the screen goes black and you can't get out of it? No way to get into speakerphone mode, no way to hang up the call, no way to do a thing even after the call is finished.
This is with the June update which supposedly fix this issue.
If anyone has any insight I really appreciate it.
Never had the issue while on Oreo or while now on Android P DP3. Do you have a screen protector on it? Even pressing the power button doesn't wake the screen up while in call?

No screen protector, and nope. Even power button won't get me back.
Very strange. It's replicable with every phone call? Any 3rd party dialer or display adjustment apps that you may be using that could affect it?

I know you probably already did this but make sure your screen is clean around the sensor area, I've had a false reading before when the top of my screen was dirty.

I had the same issue a few months back. Did the online support and they RMA'd it.
It seems it was TrueCaller causing the issues. Thanks for all the advice guys!

I had the problem with the proximity in dp3 it would not turn off while I was on the phone! After doing a FDR it worked great!
I had a feel you might've been using that or something similar. Glad you got it figured out.

I have gone the whole day testing this issue.
I hard reset my phone 3 times and tested this.
On every hard reset and fresh start the proximity sensor works perfectly well, as soon as I install true caller, the dead screen issue starts.
But I use truecaller without any problems on my other 3 non pixel phone without any issues. This problem is only with the pixel 2 and pixel 2 XL.
There is no resolution as of now. Does anyone know of anyways to get this resolved ?

I stopped using the pro version for issues I can't recall.

Screen On/Off Animation Lag

The 3 XL has a really neat transition animation when you press the power button or double tap to wake, where your notifications kind of unfurl on your lockscreen.
Trouble is, I'm getting laggy animations 80% of the time. On occasion and for no apparent reason, it works and is fluid and smooth, but otherwise it's really choppy and stuttery. It's almost as if the phone is struggling to wake up properly.
Anyone else experiencing this? I noticed this pre-root, after root and on both stock & EX kernels. Rebooting the phone does not fix it, and it doesn't matter if the AOD option is on or off.
Yeps me to (
seeing some lag with the notifications on the lock screen, Don't know what could be triggering it
Same problem here on regular pixel 3, except it happens everywhere throughout the UI. I even got them to send a replacement device and it had the same issue. Really frustrating. Neither my pixel 1 or 2 had this issue.

I'm facing the same issue. It's especially apparent when there are notifications on screen. Swiping a notification away looks incredibly laggy and painful. Really odd.

Does that happen with the December patch ?
I had a similar problem on my Pixel 2 xl when I would pull down the notification shade. Turned out it was Pokemon go. Every time I had a notification from that app it would do it. The second I swiped it away it would go back to being fluid. I haven't installed it on my 3 xl.
Might want to swipe a notification away and see if that fixes it. Maybe something is weird with one app

I can confirm I'm still getting the issue with the December update...
I've noticed it's most evident/prominent when I'm on 4G/mobile network. When I'm connected to a WiFi network, it's almost always fluid. Weird...
I'm still getting the problem with the january update, I also present problems with the fingerprint reader when activating gestures, it doesn't always work
Anyone have further information on this. Really laggy compared to my 2xl. Same issue booting into safe mode as well

Yup this one so far has been good.
I also get this issue. Anytime I start seeing a bunch of lag, I always have a notification from Poke'mon GO. Once I clear it the lag goes away.

I have exactly the same issue on my Pixel 2XL, manage to fix it by disabling Google Feed on the left of the main home screen. Try it let me know if it works

An issue with calls dropping on S20 Ultra - Proximity sensor issue?

So I have a very weird issue and I'll try to explain the best I can;
For some reason, ever since the S10+ I've had issues with Samsung phones, I think its something to do with the proximity sensor that's now under the glass, I'll explain as I'm getting similar and more issues on my S20 Ultra.
So last year when I had an S10+ and when I was on a call, which I mainly use my left ear (I think my right ear is a few db less so I use my left) I would quite frequently seem to activate the menu (top right) and therefore end up pressing things with my ear, unbeknown to me, sometimes I'd add a 2nd person to the call or simply put the other person on hold! This happened a lot and I was close to sending it off for repair even though I used apps to test to ensure the proximity sensor was working correctly but in the end, I sold it and got an OnePlus 7 Pro, which I didn't have an issue with. During my time with the S10+ I noticed that even though I held the earpiece to my ear I could see the screen light up and that's where I think I'd end up pressing the screen accidentally as I've just explained.
Roll on to now where I'm facing similar issues but also I'm finding if I need both of my hands and therefore use my left shoulder to keep my phone against my ear the call disconnects as if I'm hanging up. Now it seems a straightforward resolution which is not to do that but I've never had this issue before and I've tested it out quite a bit when I do this the screen isn't on and my face is nowhere near the end button!! It's really driving me crazy at the moment and annoying my other half who's normally on the phone to me when this happens!!
Anyone got any suggestions or thoughts, does it happen to anyone else or am I just being stupid??
I haven't gone down the route of resetting the phone yet but I'm going to consider it.
