Is this true? This alone, due to the fingerprint wake on back of device, is enough for me to consider this cycle of nexus devices duds. I find it so useful to just wake the phone up quickly with "front" fingerprint or double tap to wake to check notifications while phone is on my work desk without lifting. Of course just my preference.
I think the Nexus devices are supposed to be "reference" devices. None of the previous LG-designed Nexuses had DTTW.
If you wait, I'm sure a custom kernel will come out eventually that will add this functionality in.
I thought it was an HTC feature... hence why Nexus 9 was the only one to receive it (the feature is newer than Nexus One, which was the previous HTC Nexus).
If you want to wake it to see the notification/lock screen, try knocking it hard enough to trigger the motion sensor. That is an android feature called "ambient display", and it *should* be present on a 5x. It can be enabled in Settings --> Display if it is.

I think LG was the one to bring it to market first, with their G2. It was called Knock On.
Later implemented in S-OFF devices via custom kernels, and dubbed DT2W.
Coming from a long line of Samsung phones, including a Note 7, I'm loving this new pixel Xl.
However, one thing I've been noticing is the lack of little things I've gotten used to with Samsung.
Examples include:
No way to get battery percentage without opening quick settings
Wonky workaround for hotspot on vzw unlimited (not Google's fault)
No way to put phone on mute or speaker while on the phone from notification tray; have to go into the call itself to adjust these settings
Multi-window only allows you to split apps in the way Google wants you to, for example I can't leave a YouTube window barely on the screen and chrome open to most of the rest of the screen. This was very useful when watching somebody talk about something you don't need to see while browsing the web
There are always on display alternatives but to get them to properly use doze you need root
I am almost sure somebody is going to make that speaker mod I've seen on other phones that uses the earpiece as a second speaker, which in the past required root
I may want to rearrange my back and recent apps button because I'm used to it the other way around thanks to Samsung. But I'll live
I've been hearing about screen brightness mods to make the screen go super bright in the sun, matching brightness levels of this year's Samsung phones, but that modifies the kernel requiring root.
My past Samsung phones, although clearly not perfect, had most of these features easily avaliable or built in, and I was able to make them fast enough and usable with non root options like package disabler and startup managers. This time around I'm having the opposite problem, instead of having to disable unnecessary things, I need to add things that have been omitted.
The most unfortunate thing is I have a Verizon purchased, locked down bootloader pixel xl. Is root likely even without a bootloader unlock? I've had nexus devices and realize this isn't the same type of device. But I hope it is in the near future. Otherwise I see myself possibly returning this phone and buying a Craigslist Google store pre-order for $1100. (I know I know but root may be worth it)
Also if anyone has any ideas we could make this into an idea thread for root mods.
Basically the point of this post is to see if root is coming, I don't really need a bootloader unlock as badly because most of these mods only require root not any kernel mods or custom rows. I'm not complaining about the pixel it's a great phone, I'd just love to make it better than it is when looked at in comparison to say a Samsung.
I only have an answer to one of your issues -- that of the battery percentage. This is built in but is a bit hidden.
You'll need to enable the System UI tuner:
Code:
Swipe down from the top.
Tap the down arrow.
Hold down on the Settings icon.
Observe the System UI Tuner notification.
In Settings, tap System UI Tuner.
Tap Got It.
Inside of System UI tuner is an entry for "Battery" allowing one to "Always show percentage"

I was using Foxfi before, so that was also wonky but I'm not as used to this method
yeah you can install foxfi app and pdanet on your computer and this work around has been working for me for the past year been using insane amounts of data to tether. Yeah I say root it, unlock your bootloader now cuz it will wipe your device and wait for twrp to become available which should take like a week or two. I rooted my 6p a week after I had it. Using franco kernel which brightened my display and made my whites from yellow to white, using viperfx for unbelievable sound. I've never had a samsung but I can tell you one thing google phones always have the best development I believe the developer support is outstanding!

He has to overcome the locked Verizon bootloader issue initially. Some phones have gotten root with a locked bootloader using kexec as a workaround. I expect our devs here to completely crack this thing though.
Short answer is yes it's been done, but certainly not the norm. Usually the bootloader unlock is the primary goal which then makes root easy.

This is what scares me about switching. There are a lot of Samsung features that I have become accustomed to. A lot of people think their features in android when their only available on Samsung phones.
I think systemui tuner also has an option to switch the navbar buttons. I am on a OnePlus one awaiting my new phone but I saw it when I played with 7.0 previously. Currently back on cm13 for stability.
Thanks so much for this info finally I can see my battery percentage. Not a big deal to some but coming from the og droid turbo I wanted to see how this battery held up in comparison.

This may be true, however for somebody like me, I use a majority of the features exclusive to Samsung phones and love them, and so far nothing has been a deal breaker with this pixel xl. Definitely some annoyances, but nothing major. The speed and reliability differences with this phone versus even my note 7 more than outweigh the loss of features. I swear this phone may take me away from Samsung for the next few years. It's THAT good!
You can get a small battery percentage within the battery icon by enabling it in the System UI Tuner
This is a screenshot from my Nexus 6, but should be the same.

I know this is off topic, but how well does your Gear S2 work with the Pixel? I need to pick up a new smartwatch as I had the Gear S and it doesn't work with the Pixel. Does the Gear S2 use all of the capabilities it comes with? Been looking at the Huawei.

Isn't the Gear specific to Samsung phones? Doesn't it use Tizen instead of Android Wear? I don't think they are compatible with any phones other than Samsung ones. I could be wrong though. I use a Moto 360 v2.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to keep your screen to stay on, while reading for example, without changing your display settings? Or while showing someone else something on your phone without having to tap your screen every 15 to 30 second (depending on your settings) just to "keep it alive".
This thread is nothing more than a discussion of an idea of mine. Feel free to add your honest opinion and maybe even ideas of realization as I'm not well educated in the art of app development and maybe someone who likes this idea could put it into practise .
Let's begin:
The fingerprint reader is one of the most innovative features in the history of mobile devices. On most devices it work with nearly no delay and with Google's newest feature one can even swap down the notifications and the quick tiles.
How hard is it to implement the scanner into an app and assign different actions like "register as tap" or if it registers a double tap "switch to last app" ? (Not criticizing, it's really a question )
Those features would make my life much easier and would open up new possibilities.
I would like to see if it's possible to scroll pages with it too. I believe there is lots of room to grow with this.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Or be able to go mimic the back button by swiped left to right or right to left.
I always thought it would be nice if you could use the fingerprint reader to answer a incoming phone call. Hopefully with this new actions we have in reader some of these things will be possible.
I think it would be nice to be able to scroll through your notifications and to be able to open the app that you select with the sensor. The stay on feature would be amazing as well.
If I could pull out the edge tray hamburger from a side swipe I'd be happy.

Most of the features don't sound too hard to realize, some of them may even appear in some future devices by Samsung or Huawei, but if Google could add native Android support, even lower priced models could feature some of those.... Hopefully this thread will be seen :angel:
I was also thinking it would be cool to have those features. I find myself tapping the fingerprint reader when reading and the page starts to go dark. Of course it doesn't do anything but wish it did. Don't know how the scrolling would work but that would be awesome too.
I'm surprised you can't even take a selfie with it. I thought this was an accepted use of the reader.
I would like to see the fingerprint lock the screen as well.

I find it odd that although you can pull down the notification shade with the fingerprint scanner it will not brighten the screen like touching it will.
Give it a go, wait for the screen to dim just before it turns off and use the fingerprint reader to pull the shade down, it stays dim...

I believe Google will add more gestures along with many featurea in future updates. I bet they make them Pixel exclusive though. Since samsung is seriously considering Tizen as an Android replacement Google is also going to make features exclusive to their phones. No OEM has ever utilized all the built in features of Android so what's the point in writing features no OEM is going to use. I hope Google takes complete control of Android so people can see what Android was meant to be. Not just a base for OEM's to mess up and layer their own crappy alternative software over the top. Since samsung likes to replace everything with their bloat they would probably see performance increases going the same route and designing the hardware and software. Too bad Tizen is horrid looking though. I think the era of one version of Android fits all is coming to an end. The new Google formula will be what OEM's also adopt, or they will be forced to just become "for hire" manufacturers like HTC. Remember when foxconn made hardware before becoming an exclusive iPhone manufacturer. Googles vision was that every device ran the same version but no OEM wanted to cooperate with them. So they are taking control of Android. Because of this I think we will see much more features and development for Pixel phones. Resulting in a better Android experience for the Android user. Flame me if you want, but this change is inevitable. And I'm on board!
As probably many already saw:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-fingerprint-to-unlock-t3466549/page24
I hope this new app will allow all features I asked for and will make its way into stock Android!
Any further ideas or discussions can be mentioned in the apps thread, this thread can now be closed, thanks for taking part :fingers-crossed:
My OnePlus 7T Global HD1903 was on stock OOS Stable for almost 3 years now.
I just decided to update to OOS12 Beta 2 (Indian) yesterday and overall, I like it!
Official update guide here: OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro
Improvements:
1. Stock launcher: now has Google Feeds built-in.
2. Stock launcher: can now lock home screen icon arrangements. This is especially a big deal for me because I always mis-swipe icons and accidentally rearrange them.
3. Game mode: swipe notification banner is now easier to use. You can easily adjust brightness now, which is what I always use when gaming.
4. WiFi and Bluetooth connects faster.
5. Mobile data: signal is more stable. This surprised me a lot because this is an Indian ROM flashed on a Global device. I live in the Philippines, so it may vary from country to country.
6. Fast switching between mobile data and wifi, unlike on OOS11 where there's around 3 seconds of delay.
7. More stable fingerprint scanning (FOD) so it feels faster too, unlike on OOS11 when there are instances that I have to try 3x before my fingerprint gets recognized.
8. Larger PIN input when restarting device and FOD is disabled.
9. Lowest brightness is now even lower. Very good when you use your phone in pitch black environments.
What's missing, and what can be improved:
1. AOD: still the same old crappy Sometimes On Display. My Oppo Reno has a proper AOD, which I thought would be implemented in this update.
2. Recents: app settings cannot be launched directly anymore.
3. Notification banners: button texts are buggy/cut (like Reply or Like). Although this is an Android 12 issue, OnePlus could have fixed it.
4. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be set individually. (I bought icon packs for this feature)
5. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be renamed anymore. (You can remove app names completely)
6. Dolby Atmos is now disabled when using built-in speakers. Ironically, I only enable them when using the built-in speakers to make sound louder.
7. VoLTE and VoWiFI
Bugs and Nitpicks (but not dealbreakers):
1. Very long boot time. Logo always stuck for 40 seconds before boot animation shows up.
2. Boot animation stutters (low FPS).
3. On standard home screen mode (drawer disabled), SIM Toolkit apps always show up on the home screen after every reboot, even if you put them in a folder.
4. Some apps think that the device/sim is Indian, so there are notifications telling you to enable Roaming. Just disable these notifications once, then they'll stop showing up.
5. Lock screen colors are still oversaturated when FOD is enabled (same with OOS10 and OOS11). This is why I just use a black wallpaper for lockscreen.
6. Stock launcher icon names can now only be removed completely (no app names on drawer too), unlike before where it only doesn't show on the home screen.
I finaly update myself... But I am little disappinted.
first of all, AOD on OOS 11 (oob5) worked perfectly... it doesn't work here... it just is.
I have a big lag when I want to use gestures, especially when I want to leave the gallery in the home screen... everything seems to be slower.
Third, the phone and phonebook app is now much worse... it's much slower to find a name in the phone book.
Fourth, the theme substratum does not work, pureblack for example, so the notification shade is not black as I would like it to be... and all the colors seem washed out to me.
Five, no advinced power menu any more... And no optio for clear cache in recovery
I use Nova and I like it....
High performance mod... is for me must be on

And I am realy frustrated with new phonebook/call app
EDIT: I still have this bug... with gallery app and only Gallery app for now...
When I swap from botom to top... to go to home screen... bacj is just fine... but going straith to home not working in gallery app
Do you know what is Onet app?
Is it India specific? Like Idwntificarion of Unknow Number (doea it work in eu) ?
Also is there any easy way like iit was on 11 to check/change battery optimisation for specific app... or I need to go from settings and to look for app in the hole list?

Regarding apps you don't need, there is an option to disable them in the app settings.
On the end... I find that my bigrst problem is notificstion lock screen. When I get notificstion I have it for first time, but if I unlock and relock without open notificstin at all... it disappears from lock screen.
Does anyone know how to fix that behavior... Notification not show on LockScreen?
And AOD, not working... All time.... on OB5 ti was working all time if you whant that. Here it just disappear if you do not touch or move phone. I disklike that behavior.
Also I find out that Tasker, or any other app on 12 can not disable network status (2G/3G/4G) even with root.

In the end, this is a HUGE step backwards for me... and many OnePlus fans who wanted something more and stuck to the Never Settle slogan.
Oppo Coloros is not usable with many applications and causes problems with an even larger number. Maybe at first glance it looks like it's moving smoothly and quickly, but it's just an illusion.
Tasker is just one of those applications and is considered one of the most powerful Android tools, but it is completely unusable even with Root on this system. Even the most ordinary things, which are useful to me, as it is. turning on screen rotation and screen time out for certen apps do not work. Let's not talk about some more complex actions such as norification and starting AOD when there is an unread notification.
AOD itself is very unreliable, I installed 3 different "updates" of the AOD application itself to get it to work at all.
The notification on the lockscreen is just a "masterpiece" it only works once when you receive the notification, and whether you read it or not, it will never appear on the lockscreen again, no matter how many times you unlock or lock your screen.
As a root user of a phone that supports 90Hz, I used to be able to always and in all circumstances use that option, now the screen is almost always at 60Hz no matter what you set and there is no longer a possibility to "force" the phone to always use 90Hz even with an ADB command... All this did not increase the battery life in the least... it even decreased it because the screen is no longer black (which I could achieve on OOS 11 using Subststratum pure black tmeme) but mostly gray.
I still don't have time to dedicate a whole day to wiping the data and going back to the good old OOS... but if you don't want to just have the number 12 in the phone info... and if you use the phone for anything more than texting and answering on calls, it's better to redistribute with old security patches than to get frustrated with Color OS.
Even the most common application, phone book and phone dealer, is a step backwards for me, although I could get used to it if at least some of the basic things that I am used to as a user would work.
Bluetooth, WiFi... Mobile Data... Signal strength, I really have no complaints, it all works great. Preinstalled applications work well and it's a matter of habit and personal taste whether you like the design or not.
But if you use Tasker, Huawei watch, or are a root user who is a bit more demanding... know that I Color OS is very restrictive and that 99% of things will not work as they did on OOS... Especially if you come with OOS Beta 4 or 5 which had AOD working and if you are used to it, I would not recommend you to waste your time and switch to Color OS.
The number 12 is not worth your time, annoyance and searching for a solution for what was working beautifully and smoothly, just because it is a number higher than 11.
On the end choices is yours... Just like it was mine when I done misktake and update.

Oppo Coloros is not usable with many applications and causes problems with an even larger number. Maybe at first glance it looks like it's moving smoothly and quickly, but it's just an illusion.
Tasker is just one of those applications and is considered one of the most powerful Android tools, but it is completely unusable even with Root on this system. Even the most ordinary things, which are useful to me, as it is. turning on screen rotation and screen time out for certen apps do not work. Let's not talk about some more complex actions such as norification and starting AOD when there is an unread notification.
AOD itself is very unreliable, I installed 3 different "updates" of the AOD application itself to get it to work at all.
The notification on the lockscreen is just a "masterpiece" it only works once when you receive the notification, and whether you read it or not, it will never appear on the lockscreen again, no matter how many times you unlock or lock your screen.
As a root user of a phone that supports 90Hz, I used to be able to always and in all circumstances use that option, now the screen is almost always at 60Hz no matter what you set and there is no longer a possibility to "force" the phone to always use 90Hz even with an ADB command... All this did not increase the battery life in the least... it even decreased it because the screen is no longer black (which I could achieve on OOS 11 using Subststratum pure black tmeme) but mostly gray.

Have you tried any custom ROMs such as Pixel Experience? What are your thoughts on them if you have. I grew tired of waiting for OnePlus to release a stable 12 and installed Pixel Experience. I am mostly satisfied with it, although battery drain is more pronounced.

Your #1 mistake was to dirty flash a beta software into an older android version.
Even on custom roms, that's a very bad idea.

Actualy, that doesn't change anything... It's Color OS... and all working just it work on cleen install. So I didn't make any mistake there, except the fact that Color OS is not for me or anyone who like freedom of OOS... When I decide to be restricted like I am on ColotOS, I will buy iphone.
So, does your clean installation act differently... lock screen notificstion, AOD, can Tasker change you system settings (turn on and off AOD if you have any new notification, for example), can you force 90Hz in all apps?
Because thats are problems... I don't have any fingerprint or any other system lroblem except it's inconsistent and undefined... it's doesn't have all android 12 theming and look but it's not OOS costumization.
Anyone know of a fix for no signal? It asks for Oroaming funds, but I have an unlocked One Plus 7 Pro converted to the Global Beta 2.
My sim card is Tmobile.

Do u have the magisk patched boot of this version?
Good afternoon I'm looking at getting the Pixel 6 Pro in the next couple of weeks and I was wondering if there was anyway of hiding the front Camera like the Sony Xperias. I saw on the Samsung's that there was a setting that can do this but I've found nothing for the Google Pixel 6 Pro.
The only hiding available is using a pitch black theme, which I do through AOSP Mods on my rooted Pixel 6 Pro. There may be other similar ways I haven't investigated.
Presuming that you are aiming to *visually* hide it, and not "hide it from software" (for something like making sure you aren't being spied on?)....
There is a command you can run in the terminal (i.e. "adb shell"), I think "wm size wxh" or something like that. Make the screen shorter so that the top is below the camera and there you are. If I remember correctly, it even survives a reboot.
You'll also have to instruct it that there's no "cutout". Not really sure how to do that, but could certainly be don by recompiling.

Have tried using the "Hide" or any other options in Developer Options>Display Cutout?
aospmods has a setting for software to ignore the hole punch. amazon prime video playback for example, will then utilize the whole screen correctly.
