I have seen a lot of weird android O problems put up here, is it really that buggy or are their a lot of you rooting and running things that aren't necessarily tailored to O yet? Just curious, I don't have it yet but as soon as it is made available to my Pixel XL I will download it, I just want to make sure it isn't a giant bucket of bugs.

I haven't had any issues, I was able to update with OTA before Google pulled it the first time. Mine updated normally, havent had any weird reboots or behavior on my device yet.
I am unlocked running pure stock, enrolled in the beta atm
I haven't had any issues either. It's been performing very well and Bluetooth works great for me on everything I've tried it with.
I did a clean factory image. Rooted and suhide. Many of the TiBu apps had to be deleted and data restored, but that happens between different ROMs, so it's no surprise. Battery drain seems higher than PN or PixelDust, but it's too early to tell for sure. Push notifications are taking longer than on 7.1.2 for gmail, outlook, and wickr. But, no bugs so far to report.
Awesome, so I guess since I am not rooted or unlocked and not using any non android O approved apps (that I know of) I have a very small chance of bugs. Thanks. I really do appreciate it, sets my nerves at ease.

I am stock Oreo from the beta. Battery life sucks, like awful. I have done 2 fresh install too. Volume is extremely low. Tested it with my wife's pixel running N and her volume is considerably louder.

Battery life with Oreo and I don't have that great of reception.
Got Oreo on my Pixel XL via the beta.
No reports yet of problems with volume or battery life, but one of the new features "picture-in-picture", is not working for me at all. Google support have told me its a known issue and are working on it.
Like Partridge's extendable table, it's not a deal-breaker.

PiP only works with YouTube red or if you modify your nav bar to have a custom button to do it for youtube. And go to chrome watch a video in full screen then press home it'll work that way.
Not sure what's happening but when I was on dp4 and now on Oreo official the battery life has been the best it's ever been since I bought the phone back in 2016.
My experience has gotten better over the last day or so. The first 24hrs felt very janky. Since it has settled in and I'm happy with the performance.
When you guys did a fresh install did you restore all of your settings etc from the cloud? Or are you manually resetting your phone back up?

Only bug I've seen is PIP. This release has fixed my bluetooth issues(controls sometimes not working with my Jaybird X2's, Moto 360 constantly disconnecting with having issues getting it to reconnect even after reboots of phone and watch). Bluetooth issues have been my only complaint with the phone and those started for me only after the first OS update(7.?.?). I flashed the factory image and restored from cloud backup. Very happy so far.

Has anyone had notification sound problems? When I get a notification the sound plays at least twice or more.
I perform the OTA as beta program first and use it for 5-10 mins.
Later I decided to perform a facotry reset, during the wifi setup, I found that the phone cannot recognize my hidden wifi. In the end, I found that the phone could not find wifi channel 11, 12 or 13 from my router AC68U. I manually set the channel to 4 and the wifi was connected.
Last time I saw the same issue was on my Kindle Voyage.

I did the OTA and I'm pulling two days out of it with average use. ODP3 was better for me in terms of battery but hey 2 days out of a stock phone? sweeet

I set it up as a new phone, but now I encounter some issue that O is not recognizing my hidden Wifi. It was connected successfully and then I turn it to flight mode and perform a restart. Now the phone cannot see my wifi anymore... I'll downgrade to 7.1.2 and then see how it works... :crying:
installed and rooted wiped clean and having problems with phone. Freezing and rebooting on calls. anyone else?
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.
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.

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....
Comes back up quickly.
Just recived the july patch some minutes ago

Good day.
Me too. Probably July security patches only.
I'm hoping that this time they fix the wifi problem. :fingers-crossed:

Some users are saying that the battery for standby time has improved, the Camera seems to be unable to take pictures and camera distortion is back.

I read one user complaining of that on the comments for the update at that site. Just one. Not sure the camera thing is a crisis. Since I'm on the US version and our updates seem to follow a few weeks later, I can't say that with personal confirmation though.
I'm in France and I haven't received the June security patch, and I haven't received this one yet :/

GPS,BT,WLAN turned off, stamina mode. no consuming apps. it was 4-5% after 205 update and nearly 20% 145update, 119update was fine. cant believe sony. I/m 39years old, not youngster, and phone holding 12hours with no internet browsing and few calls is joke.

Sounds like a Google Play Services problem, along with RCSservice.
There are some tips in this thread
When GPS starts acting up it's usually syncronisation errors, sometimes it's down to bad reception or it's just gone and tied itself up in knots.
Try uninstalling your Google account. Then go into airplane mode. Delete the app data for
Google Backup transport
Google Play Services
Google Play store
Google Services Framework
Restart your phone
Enable the network
Log into your Google account again
Keep on the wifi for ten minutes or so to let everything sync with no errors.
This will force the phone to re syncronise with fresh data. Hopefully squashing the Play Services error that's causing your power drain.
The other thing to try is download Google Play Services Beta from APK mirror. Download it, go into airplane mode, install it, then repeat steps listed above.
I still have great battery life und still can make great Pictures
Look 13h39min standy and 3h Screen on, and WiFi on all time, surfing on internet, watching small videos etc. and still 80%.
Camera works fine for me and battery is better than on the June patch so far.

I have same problem. I have been searching for months with no solution.
Customised De. I have update... 235. Have no issues.
Customized IT .235 here, updated with XperiFirm+Newflasher and then rooted through xperiafix 3.0, everything working fine.
Just a little OT question: which combination of Magisk+Xposed is working for you guys?

I tried Magisk 16.6 and found that I lost DRMfix. I tried downloading the zip and flashing with Xperiafix 3, but same result. The only version that worked was 16.3.
Xposed v90.2 beta3 doesn't work on any firmware newer than April, that said there is some feedback on the XZ Permium thread that V90.2 beta2 does work on later firmware, but a number of modules fail to load afterwards.
I am on old .75 firmware, Xposed works and I can't be bothered to chase the constant upgrades trail any more.
Maybe if P ever comes to the XZ1c I might think about it, but historically, version changes of android that are different from the original released version that came with the hardware always run badly and use more battery.

That was a silly mistake from me, just pulled the OTA update when the phone was right out of the box without checking last incompatibilities and issues.
So it seems that the only route to have full things right it's a downgrade. And I suppose it's impossible without a full wipe, am I correct?

I think you can use Sonys Emma to downgrade, but as I've not used it, I don't know if you can keep your data partition. Sorry.
To recap: firmware. 75 and Xposed 16.3 works perfectly, modules work ok.
My pixel 2 XL worked great until updating to Android 10. Now it randomly restarts a few times a day. Is there a quick way to figure out if it software or hardware related?

If your bootloader unlocked, you may try fastbooting the factory image without the -w to both slots. That's how I update to 10, and I don't have the issue you mentioned.
Unfortunately I have the Verizon variant. May be trying a factory reset and update if I can't figure something out soon
Are you using AdGuard? My pixel 2 xl also restarted randomly until I uninstalled adguard.

Yes, I'll uninstall that app next. Thanks for the suggestion.
Mine is randomly the screen become black untill i press power button to force restart i returned back to 9
It seems adguard was the culprit. Phone has been running fine and with better battery since deleting it.
