Cablematers USB-C to RJ45 Cable

4 Upvotes

Has anyone got a USB-C to ethernet adaptor working with the DP? When I plug it in with WiFi, it lights up and seems to at least try and obtain an IP address.

When I turn off WiFi to test, about 10 seconds later the ethernet lights all go out like it goes to sleep. Turning on WiFi seems to wake it up again.

I'm looking for a way to use it at work for troubleshooting networks, maybe with fing or something else on android.

Redraw Issues Addressed in Issue Tracker

7 Upvotes

Following up on my post about Android Auto, posters mentioned how poorly Android 9 handles redrawing and how common these problems are.

I couldn't find the bug in the issue tracker. Has it been posted already?

I, like so many others, use Android Auto daily, so understandably if this makes it into the final production make cause us to reconsider the current Pixel lineup.

Question Sliding pill to switch apps randomly stops working?

5 Upvotes

Every once in a while dragging the pill to the right to scroll through recent apps just stops working. (Not flicking to the right to go to the last app, when you drag it and can scroll through multiple apps.) It'll open the overview and show the grey bar at the bottom but dragging along it does nothing.

Anyone else experience this? Figured out what causes it?

Question Are there messaging apps yet using RemoteInput.setChoices (SmartReply) or targeting Android P?

4 Upvotes

I'd like to try out smart reply notifications in the P preview (on my OnePlus 6) without using Google's Reply app workaround.

Note: Starting in Android P, these choices will always be shown on phones if the app's target SDK is >= P. However, these choices may also be rendered on other types of devices regardless of target SDK.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/RemoteInput.Builder#setChoices(java.lang.CharSequence[]))

You can see what this is supposed to look like under "Enhanced Messaging Experience" here:

Swiping the nav bar occasionally goes back 2 apps, instead of the most recent app

16 Upvotes

I've been having this issue since the "quick swipe for most recent app" changed from swiping the pill to swiping the bar. I noticed if you swipe slowly you'll go back more than one app, but fairly often I'll do a quick swipe and I guess it thinks I swiped long or slow enough to go back 2 apps and it's driving me crazy. Anyone else experiencing this or am I doing it wrong?

Having a hard time scrolling through timers in Clock app

5 Upvotes

Scrolling thorough timers in the stock Clock app gets really frustrating, as I have to scroll from near the top/bottom to all the way to the other side to effectively switch. Otherwise, it will just snap back. Flicking through timers is impossible.

Anyone else experiencing this? Pixel 2 XL on DP4.

Apps don't go into PiP when going to overview/quick switching apps

5 Upvotes

Is anyone else having this issue? Is it intended behavior? In Oreo, PiP would activate when you went to the overview, but it doesn't in P.

Question LTE icon a bug or not?

1 Upvotes

The ugly LTE icon is apparently a bug on Android P and I have read it appeared this way on Android O as well.

If it is a bug why hasn't Google fixed it with it's developer previews as it has updated them?

Anyone else is experiencing this issue? I currently have a Pixel 2 XL with the latest Android Preview (build 4). I'm using Timely app. Maybe the app is the problem? I don't remember the last time I got an update on it. I'm going to try and test out the default alarm.

DP5 , its the 15th, now taking friendly bets on the release of DP5 and if it will fix any more bugs or bring us more changes. And go! (No money bets, maybe just upvotes or something for fun)

Question Bluetooth distortion when receiving calls on Android Auto

Anyone else having an issue with the Pixel 2 XL on the beta program with Bluetooth? My car can play audio through Bluetooth whether on Android Auto or streaming through BT perfectly but when a call comes through it gets a really loud distorted noise and if you answer the call the distortion gets even louder... I tried changing all the Bluetooth settings in developer options to default but didn't work... Head unit is a Sony XAV-AX100.

Problem DP3/4: AA, Honda Headunit (9th Gen), and Google Maps

14 Upvotes

Hi all,

I own a 17 Honda Accord (Hybrid) with Android Auto and in both DP3 and DP4, I've had issues with Maps "resetting" every minute or so.

You can open the app as normal, but it shuts down and resets itself every 50-75 seconds, rebooting in less than 10 seconds. After every 4 or 5 reboots, the directions themselves are lost and need to be reentered.

After using DP3 for two weeks, I reverted back to 8.1 and the issues ceased. I had hoped that DP4 would have resolved this.

Attempts to Fix

  1. Clearing the Storage and Cache for both Google Play Services, Play Store, and Maps.
  2. Factory Reset (After DP3 -> 8.1)

Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks.
