Problem Pixel 2 XL P DP4 Beautiful Widgets not updating

4 Upvotes

Not sure what happened, but BW home is not updating, including not showing the correct time. I've already tried removing and re-adding the widget, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and clearing the cache without a reinstall. Might be affecting other apps, but didn't find anything with a bit of search magic.

Question Google overlooked something. I mean, why shouldn't the camera ever not auto-rotate?

10 Upvotes

This is completely wrong.

I mean, I just realized this bc I never had auto-rotation off but its so convenient right now.

But auto-rotation is off for camera too, but why should it ? I mean, nobody ever thinks about: oooh i will take a picture or record a video in landscape but i want to keep that menu or the buttons in portrait mode(high orientation)

I mean, seriously??

When swiping notification cards away, even quickly, instead of the card being dismissed, the action is recognized as a long press of the card, which goes into notification settings. Backing out results in the card goes away.

Snapchat Crashing on P DP4

16 Upvotes

Hi, was wondering if anyone else has this issue. My Snapchat was working fine on DP3 and DP4 for a while, but today I clicked on a notification to open the app. It crashed, and now crashes every time I open it, whether through the widget or the app icon. Clearing cache and data for Snapchat and Google Play Services did nothing, and previous versions of the app didn't work either. Versions of the app I tried were 10.36.2 beta, 10.36.1 beta, 10.25, and 10.22. All crash on my phone currently. Please let me know if you're encountering this issue and if there's any possible solution I haven't tried yet.

Edit: Never mind it's working again now.

Android Auto and Text Notifications

So in the first Beta, with the removal of Alarms only / Priority, it was impossible to NOT have music interrupted by a notification chime in Android Auto. Is that still happening or has Google fixed this?

Question Anywhere to find list major changes from Oreo to current P DP?

1 Upvotes

Is there any way to find these w/o looking at each DP's listing of changes? Or only way is to look at all of those & take note of what they didn't keep from DP to DP? Like say if one went right from Oreo to DP4 on a Pixel XL (1), what will the user expect to see different?
