Screen On/Off Animation Lag - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

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.

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

I had 2 replacements because of this issue. I think it's a hardware issue.

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

Edge panel lagging?

Anyone else experiencing a 1 to 2 second lag when attempting to open the edge panel? I'm hoping this is a known thing and will send an update to correct this!

I have the same problem. it's disappointing. i tried changing to different ones or even stick to the originals (like people edge) that they are so proud to show off. but it sucks. it's so laggy and slow, it ruins the experience and the idea. so unoptimized.
i love using it, but the laggy experince gets on my nerves

Fingerprint scanner lag

Anyone notice it takes about 3 seconds to get to the home screen from off by pressing the fingerprint scanner? Is it just me? When I press the home button it takes about 1 to 2 seconds for the screen to turn on. Then I get a choppy animation for another 1 or 2 seconds before getting to the home screen. How about you. Can you guys press on your home button and count how long it take to gets to the home screen? Sometimes I count to 5...
Im a bit concerned since I'm also experiencing frame drops with my Gear VR and that never happened with my s6e or my s7e.
Need to know if it's common or if it's my device.

I've never got on with the fingerprint scanner, but I have been trying to use the iris scanner and I must say that is pretty instant once you learn how to hold the phone up to trigger the recognition.

It did too for me at first but now it bogged down again. But you have a point. Themes do not seem optimized for grace UI.

Same here. I'm really worried though because the lag was there in safe mode which means it's not caused by a third party app. Which means that even if I do a factory reset it WILL COME back.

I'm still bringing my note 7 back when they have replacement units, so for me it's a temporary fix. If you aren't replacing yours then hopefully me being the Guinea pig will help

I returned mine for a refund to Bell yesterday... I was also experiencing lag which was sad because I loved the phone. So I'm gonna wait until new stock is available and buy an Exynos version.
So as it turns out the fingerprint scanner is blazing fast. The lag is with the home button.

From what I read, s voice causes the slow down with the home button. Disable s voice and it should be more responsive. Issue dating back to the note 3

That's pretty much the first thing I did. Actually it's not specific to s-voice its due to the fact that you can double press the home button, used to be for s-voice now for the camera. Whenever you press the home button once the phone waits for a potential 2nd press therefore causing the delay. Technically disabling any double home button press action should make it faster but it's still just a tiny bit faster.
I would like if there was an option to bypass the lock screen and go straight to the home screen.

Active display keeps turning off

I'm not sure what changed, but active display with start off on, then disappear. A reboot didn't help

Sounds like it could be a proximity sensor issue. Maybe it's somehow covered by your case or screen protector so the phone thinks it's in your pocket all the time? Just a thought.

Sounds like a software glitch. Bout all I can suggest is a factory reset, or flash the factory image. Was this a result of an ota or did you update it?
same happens to mine. It happens when the battery is low, but at "random" times too. It's like the AOD app in dozing.

I was not posting that I have an issue with aod, but rather help those with it to trouble shoot and resolve their issue.
Nope I don't use battery saver. Another issue I noticed that started with 8.1 is that my AOD will rotate to landscape sometimes. I've been having other issues recently too, may try for an RMA soon. My sketchy GPS is getting on my nerves

!! 7 attempts at swiping up !

Maybe it's just the screen protector, I know I've read some stuff about the screen protector and people rooting and flashing something, but I swear this thing doesn't respond to my touch. I'm on Android p DP 2 and just factory reset it to see if it helps with some app bugs. Just swiped up 7 times before it went up so I could type my pin in, this has been an issue with this particular device.

I have noticed this sometimes as well on DP2. I have a fingerprint setup but my phone is usually lying on my desk so i swipe up and enter the pattern. Sometimes it just refuses to swipe up and stay there.. its sort of bounces back down. I have to pick up the phone and use the fingerprint scanner.
They lock screen swipe issue was fixed for me recently on a security update but on dp2 sometimes it's worst then it ever was before the fix.
Just tap the lock, no need to swipe
Ah never noticed that. If you have the fingerprint enabled, tap the fingerprint icon.

And this is why you're a senior member, that's pretty helpful. Now swiping away notifications would be wonderful
amazes me that people run essentially a beta version of the software and complain when things arent working correctly.

Are they not allowed to test and provide feedback? Why does it bother you?
Anyways, to be fair, I've been experiencing this issue off and on ever since I purchased the phone. And no, I'm not running beta firmware.
Why does it bother you if I comment?
If you're running a version of Android that hasn't been officially released yet then there is always going to be issues. That's pretty obvious frankly.
The lockscreen swiping is definitely an issue with the Pixel 2 XL. I always had this issue on Oreo but on P DP2 it's gone. It's interesting how it's the opposite for others in this thread.
Even on Oreo, it's hit or miss.
Swiping away notifications almost always takes at least 2-3 tries.
Super annoying for a phone this expensive.

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 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 ?
