Hello guys, I wanna know that you who have updated your Pixel 2 XL to ANDROID 11, how is the experience? How is the battery life? Is it performing better than the ANDROID 10? How's the camera? Is it worth to upgrade? Thanks in advance.
in my case, the battery is better than 10. Performance is better. But it is still some small bug.
Camera is an app, the quality is depent on app version, not the android version.

Sometimes receiving call , it is automatic turn on Speaker. Other people play games, the small horizoltal line at the bottom does not hide.

And where did you get this apk?
Apk site, here you can download camera app
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Nokia
Apparently there's a fix for that
Simply disable the location in the camera settings. Im not using my 6.1 right now but can someone confirm either way that this works?
which version is the best to use with Nokia 6.1? any bugs to notice?
What improvements are expected?

You never know until the Bulletin comes out on Monday.
My wants would be:
- Improvements in video recording sound
- Improvements in low volume speaker distortion
- YouTube videos play in the center of screen
- Improvements to memory management
- Additional video recording option (4k @60)
- Improvements to navigation gestures between recent applications and application drawer
Battery and heat improvements
I hope they are going to do something with memory so fortnite is not going to be killed because reaching 1.9GB memory usage.

Yes, Idk if it's only me or what, but... Fortnite crashes every time when I'm about to arrive from the parachute.
And the app kick me off ...
It's annoying.
Now, Idk is due to Lack of optimization by Epic ?

Unfortunately It's not. Android on Google pixel is not willing to give more than 1.8GB of ram to this game and kills it if fortnite crosses this mark. For example Galaxy s8 happily gives even 3 GB ram and game is working smoothly there.

In conclusion, we'll never be able to play this game decently in our Pixel?
Or is there a solution?
By the way, do you have the same problem?
I would like them to fix the damn earpiece clicking during phone calls and the speaker buzzing/distortion at lower volumes/certain frequencies. That and further improve memory management.

I'm looking for:

2) Fix of erratic failure in proximity sensor when bring phone to your ear.
3) Better memory management.
Anyone any idea when this OTA might happen?
Cheers.

Thanks for being this month's guinea pig. Just wondering, did you fully install TWRP or just fastboot boot the .img. Also, did you use Magisk 17.3 Beta or the canary build?
Hey guys,
I just bought a brand new Pixel XL 128gb yesterday. Yay! Quite happy with the purchase, since I got it for 270e brand new in box and it's replacing my Moto Z Play, which is also a 2016 phone, but a mid-range one, so the performance boost is quite noticeable.
Moreover, the camera performance on the Pixel vs that Moto is absolutely insane. Especially since my Moto is on Lineage, which makes the camera noticeably worse than stock.
My question is: How is the Pixel XL camera performance on Lineage or other custom ROMs?[ Does the Google Cam app work (can I even install it straight from the Play Store, does it still recognize it as compatible)? I've been trying to google the answer to this for an hour at least, but to no avail. So I'm really not sure if it all just works 100% fine or it's a downgrade as it usually is because of proprietary blobs and what not.
I like the phone very much, but I hate how the Google ROM is not letting me disable and delete things and overall I'm just very used to everything on Lineage and I prefer using the light weight apps from there, instead of apps that have been googleified for no reason (I want the stock AOSP Gallery, Messaging, etc). I've already replaced the launcher since I couldn't even remove the two default widgets (ffs!) but that's not really the same.
TL;DR - I want to switch to a custom ROM (prefferably Lineage) and keep the amazing camera performance on my og XL, is that possible?
Since razorloves includes the camera blobs in lineage, yes you can install/use google camera (I don't think it shows up from searching in the play store, so use this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera)
The quality will be the same as stock.

Awesome news, thanks so much!
Are you perhaps a Lineage user yourself? Any issues in v16 or disadvantages compared to stock? I don't use any of the Google stuff, except Gmail and the Play store.

Have you flashed Lineage yet? I'm curious if you can confirm the quality is unchanged after flashing.

Heya. I have finally set everything up and I can confirm that by installing Google Cam (straight from the Play Store) after flashing Lineage 16 + gapps you do indeed still get absolutely the same high quality camera performance.
To me this is absolutely amazing, as with all phones on Lineage before I've been suffering from noticeably or even drastically reduced camera performance. I love it. And Lineage 16 runs beautifully, too.

The kennel is 4.4.192-perf+ #2, built on Fri Nov 15
Battery seems fine to me, similar to Android 9 so far. But it's too early to make any conclusion, we'll have to wait a few days of use to see how it goes.
Edit : one has to enable the new gestures. They fill very natural after a few seconds, and free the space that used to be taken by the navigation bar.

Autocorrect probably. I would assume they meant "new gestures".
Anyone having issues with the echos with voice calls or lag/sluggishness like mentioned in the following thread?

I have problem with podcast addict, pause resume lag is to big about 10s (when I press key on my Sony headphones) when on mobile data (streaming). Also eq doesn't work in this app.

Correct.
The one issue I have with Android 10, is the GCam ports don't work so well. Black.rider's 6.2 seems not to save any pictures, or to freeze a lot. 7.2 are also quite unstable, I'm still looking for a good one.

Thx. It won't save any picture. Do you use particular settings or a config? The list of provided config files don't have one specific for Nokia 7.* phones.
I'm actually happy I decided not to update yet. Seems Nokia didn't work out all the bugs. My worry now is how long it will be until they fix these bugs.

Got the OTA update about two days ago, and it basically killed my WiFi and Bluetooth radios. They work, sort of, but my main router WiFi cannot connect, and Bluetooth audio skips for no real reason. I even did a factory reset to try and correct this with the OTA update file out there, but essentially it didn't fix my issue, and now I'm pretty upset that I did that.
Anyone know how I can downgrade back to Pie so I can at least connect to WiFi and get all my apps back quickly?
Upgraded. No real issues at all. Slightly decreased battery life for first two days then fine. All my hardware and software work 100% no problems.
I connect to multiple Bluetooth device regularly in the car and on bicycle rides. No issues with Garmin. No issues with anything.

Yes, I had an issue with voicemail couple of times. There have been lags too. Bit disappointed. Had similar experience when upgraded to pie from nogut last year on a different device.

Anyone else noticed how Whatsapp video calls (using the selfie-cam of course) is really zoomed in? Found myself having to hold the phone quite far from my face to achieve the normal framing, as otherwise my usual distance means my entire face is the persons screen that I'm calling!
It'd be great to change the zoom and maybe even utilise the stock cam for the wide angle option, but realise this is likely not possible?
Does using the volume keys change that while in the call?

Hmm unsure, I don't think so but I'll be having a video call later so will test. Do you feel it may do?
It's a known thing that others have brought up as well.. not sure if it's a bug or anything
Just to update: realised this is now fixed and WhatsApp video call is no longer zoomed in.

Hi, I have the same issue with my Pixel 6 and it is still not resolved for me. Could you confirm if the new Pixel update resolved it for you? All the video calling apps including WhatsApp and Duo still have zoomed-in blurry videos with washed-up colors for me. Thanks.

Hey.
I actually noticed this was fixed before the Dec update. So I'm unsure whether this was fixed in the mid-Nov update or though thinking about it, perhaps it's a Whatsapp app fix rather than Pixel fix.
I had logged the error with Whatsapp and note you have the Pixel 6 and not 6 Pro, so I'd advise raising it with them.
It's great though just to say, feels good to not have to hold the phone so far away from my facew just so the other person doesn't get my ugly mug filling up their entire screen lol
It's definitely not fixed, I have the latest Dec update on my pixel 6 and what's app video call is still zoomed into my face n blurry.

Grrr weirdly after the Dec it's back to being zoomed!!!
I swear guys it was fine and now it's not, so I'm clueless as to what origin of this problem is.....
Update: reported it via the built-in method within the app (last time I just emailed them) which sent logs and device info however because I'm rooted they said it's unsupported.
Perhaps someone unrooted with this issue could report...

Same here. I'm on
SQ1D.211205.016.A4
This also happened with the November build.
Probably the fractional zoom levels offered by the P6 cameras. A *lot* of software can't zoom out less than 1.0 and needed updates.
I'm not rooted and I'm in the Dec update on my pixel 6. I've sent the logs through to what's app so hopefully they reply back
Hi has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'm on the newest 220205.004 build and this problem still persists.
**Update: Joined the Whatsapp beta test program and can confirm the zooming issue has been fixed! So it appears it's been a Whatsapp issue all along and not a Pixel issue. If you're not part of the beta test and don't want to be, then I guess waiting until the new update comes out will be your best solution.
I can confirm the issue is fixed for me running WhatsApp Beta.

Not exactly. Its actually silly for the "back at you" camera to have a fractional zoom level. It doesn't actually zoom out, 1:1 ratio is zoomed *in* a bit.
It does make some sense on the "away from you" camera, since there are 3 separate sensors and the MAIN sensor is defined as 1:1.
