I have a pixel 2 for work and a pixel 2XL for personal use. They are both using the same version of Google's Messages. However, my pixel 2 has the new camera icon next to the + symbol where you would write your text. My pixel 2xl still only has the + symbol next to where you text. Anyone know if it is a setting I need to change or if one phone got a update pushed on Google's side? Picture shows what I am talking about circled in red.

My wife's xl2 has the new icon on the message app but my xl2 doesn't .. same app version.. leads me to believe that it's a server side switch or something..
I've had this for a week probably.

Yeah my work pixel 2 and my coworkers pixel 2xl both have had it for almost a week now. I am still waiting for my pixel 2xl to get it.
Anyone else still waiting on this?

Funny enough I have it on custom roms but on stock it would not trigger.
Wow, still waiting. Thought maybe the January update would trigger it but nope.
That's crazy. And you've got the latest version of Messages that's on APK Mirror?

I was thinking I was the only one that still does not have it. Crazy!
I connected to pixel support through settings and the technician had me screen share and went through a lot of things like checking in safe mode, Android build version, app settings and other things. He was not sure why my messages app is not updated properly. He ended up having me send a feedback report and said they would be looking into it.
Well time will tell .
I had it on my stock pixel 2 XL then I lost it when I flashed a rom. When I flashed back a month later to stock I got it back. I tried everything I could think of while I was running a custom rom to get it back with no luck.

I have the camera icon now after a clean flash on stock. Every other month (depending on features, patches, etc.) I make it a priority to do a complete wipe of the device. It's tedious and some may see it as redundant, but in my experience since the days of the G1, it keeps everything running smooth.

The one feature I am waiting for is to compile my own list of canned answers, in the order that I want. And how about keyboard support (just release an API and let developers build keyboards) instead of the stupid OK Google feature which I never use and is not nearly as reliable as it should.

THIS.
Been so long I almost forgot about it.
Although with the last update, they did make the notification pictures for group hangouts bigger, but not higher quality.
Dumb question, but does my phone need to be upgraded to Android 5.0 for the watch to be upgraded? Not that there is an update for my Note 4, but I may have to hold out because of one specific application I use regularly that I don't suspect will update right away for Lollipop.
I'd update for the battery life.

This is not a problem with the Moto 360, rather with Google in general and the way they treat contacts. Google apps default to a 96x96 photo. On your phone you can set a specific photo per contact up to 720x720 (assuming you have Android 4.1+) but that doesn't fix the underlying issue, and the contact photos don't persist to gmail or from Google+. This is a really annoying situation to me, as I like to set everyone's contact photo myself, and then Google overrides it with a 96x96 of the person's Google+ photo if that exists. I don't want the person's Google+ photo, much less a 96x96 of it.

its like any stock android device . all get the updates in the same time frame . not like OEM updates .
I'm running 5.0 on my s4
And I can already access the new features mentioned in the article. Being able to hide the top notification is actually really awesome, without disabling notifications on my watch I can see the entire watch-face. Very cool. The only thing that really bothers me now is that the words "ok google" are on the screen whenever I wake my 360 up for about 3-5 seconds. It's pretty intrusive and doesn't look good on a lot of my watchfaces. I'll post photos if anyone is interested.
I believe you are looking at the update they did a week or two ago, 4.4w.2, where the enabled being able to swipe down the bottom notification without dismissing it. I think the 'ok google' thing will go away, maybe with use I'm not sure, but mine isn't doing it at this moment and it was shortly after this last update.
Can anyone explain to me why these features shown on the front page of the Google app are not present on my phone,did everything uninstall reinstall join the beta program leave the beta yet still no features
My understanding is that it's server side. These features popped up on mine about 10 days ago. Probably something google is rolling out in stages.

Am sure modifying the build.prop would yield access to lens in the camera and music id in the Google Assistant. Just like it was with pixel 1st Gen and the Nexus 6P.
Following, can someone confirm this before I reboot and edit my build.prop? If someone has apk too. I really want the music recognition, probably the only thing I'm hyped about from the release.

That's Google lens. I think both of us mean the Pixel 2 launcher, the one where the Google bar is at the bottom.
I imagine the redesign is actually a new update to the Pixel Launcher that'll probably be available through an update through the Play Store. Probably would get to is quicker by pulling from the Pixel 2 system.img. I could be wrong, but it seems to be something they'll bring to the old Pixels too and therefore not accessible through a build.prop edit
Has Google even announced if the old pixel will get the new launcher and AOD? I know the pixel launcher will probably be an update just but you never know.

Really? I just do the twist motion to switch. That's still available to do luckily for me.
They removed the grid button from the quick toggles but would've been nice if they let you customize it. A portrait mode quick toggle would save me a tap.

No dumb questions!
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I'm pretty confident that you can as its still an official verison.
Come to think about it I'm sure I've also updated an app manually like this and then updated it on its next release (I think I did this with android wear).
I noticed the "subscribe to pushbullet updates" on apk mirror so did that for the Google camera. That way can get the update a little faster

Sure. I did the same thing with the phone apk a while back when it was updated to 16.0. Sometimes it just takes google a little longer to catch up with their own apps ??
So they replaced a really good feature (double tap to zoom) with double tap to switch cameras? I hope it doesn't do that during a recording.
Edit: So I have camera version 5.2 and it's the same as before.
They have improved noise levels in the photos recently, I liked that
Edit Edit : There's tons of new settings yay
Thanks google

Oh, No problem, you can choose if you want to zoom or switch camera! Do not worry
I always download APK updates whenever I can just cause I'm impatient. Android Police is quick on getting Google updates post with APK links. And yes, you can get regular updates through the Google Play Store still.
I would actually have liked the double tap to switch cameras with the video recording as I see iPhone Instagram stories doing it. It's cool to film something then show your reaction.
This has been going on for the past couple days. Clearing all the apps data, or reinstalling it, solves it. But only for the next viewing session. The second time you open it, it's right back to the same thing. WTF! This is killing me.

You didn't say how you typically update every month, but I would now re-flash the full image (removing -w from the script). You'll lose TWRP and root if you have those, but if these files are on your phone before you start (TWRP, kernel, magisk) it only takes 5 minutes even taking your time. To speed things up be sure to catch the reboot at the end of the image flash, holding down the vol-dn button. That will take you back to fastboot mode instead of waiting for it to boot up and then having to reboot. Flash or boot to TWRP and then queue up kernel and magisk, then let her rip.

Removed myself from the beta, and updated to stable. So far so good. Going to try a few more things to make sure that was it.
While I'm here. I'm still having lockscreen swipe unlock issues. STILL takes 50 tries.
I have the feeling that rooting is part of the problem.
I do remember someone found an "anti-falsing" setting in SystemUI, but that required more work than it should.
Did Google really NOT fix this basic issue yet?
I'm having the same issue, text doesn't show in dark background but shows with a white background.
I'm also part of the beta but I would rather not deactivate it, any other solution? I like my dark background ?
