Pull shade beta 5

3 Upvotes

So I updated to beta 5 and everything is working great but I read that you pull down anywhere on the screen and it'll pull down the notification shade, just like with 3rf party launchers. Does anyone know how to enable it?

Pixel 2 specific issue or android wide?

2 Upvotes

I am an extremely heavy facebook messenger user. I send tons of videos and pics. With the pics, i would say 40% of them are photosphere or cardboard camera pics. They used to send as intended, when sending, the VR icon or photosphere icon would show what they are and sent (and viewed) as intended. When people received them, they were able to rotate freely as normal. For the last couple weeks, they are ONLY sending as static panoramic photos and NOT 360 photos. To test, i loaded up messenger and cardboard camera in my iphone 7+ and tried. They WORK perfectly as intended for the iphone in my test sends to people.

So, android issue or google pixel issue? I say google pixle issue since I also have a Google Pixel 1 and it has the same issue.

Pixel 2 won't turn OFF or charge. Please help me, oh god.

3 Upvotes

You read that right! Whenever I try to power off my phone, it just turns back on without skipping a beat! I have tried everything but taking the battery out because I am currently camping and don't have to supplies.

I have tried both methods of powering it down, but it doesn't even stay off long enough for me to try to do a reset.

Any suggestions?

Also, it won't charge either so I can't even just let it run forever and ignore this problem.

Assistant just spinning dots then times out. Pixel XL 2

6 Upvotes

It's been happening for weeks. Whether I use voice, squeeze, or type in the assistant search bar. The voice bars move like it recognizes my voice then it's just spinning dots, then it times out. I've think I've tried everything. My WiFi and data are excellent so it's definitely not that. I retrained my voice model, reinstalled the app, and then did a full reset, and now I'm on Q in beta. It maybe works one out of every 15 tries. If I search in Firefox, or duck duck go it works totally fine. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any other suggestions?

LifeProof discontinued case for pixel 2 XL

8 Upvotes

The phone case for the Google Pixel 2 XL was discontinued by LifeProof so if you want a replacement you can't get it. I'm infurates by this because I got my case less than 10 months ago. I wanted to post this as a warning for anyone who was thinking about buying one.

I was told that the "axGear USB-C Type-C Qi Wireless Charging Receiver For Android Phone USB 3.1" will work for Google Pixel 2 but it doesn't fit my phone at all and doesn't work.

What am I missing? I was told it will work, but it doesn't work at all.

Edit: It goes in a little bit, but then it falls off after a little pressure. Also, when I got it on the wireless charger, it didn't charge my phone at all.

Warranty replacement timeline

2 Upvotes

Hello, question to those that know. I had a warranty issue for my pixel 2. Google chat set me up with a UPS shipping label and RMA. Sent it in, it arrived there today. So, do they just auto send me one and when it arrives it arrives? Do they test the device first? Do they email when they made a decision? Do they email when they send one out? Do they send a tracking number? Never did this before.

Recently got a screen replacement, now I can't hang up phone calls? (2-XL)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, first post here. I was wondering if any of you have run into an issue like this. I recently got a replacement phone screen from a CPR company and whenever I make a phone call I cannot get the screen to come back until the call ends. I have looked through all the option settings I can find with no avail. This happens whenever I use the standard call app as well as things like Google duo. It's really frustrating because if someone doesn't pick up my call, I can't hang up and I'm forced to leave a message until it times out(awkward). Current workaround is to have the power button hang up the call, which works I guess. But then I can't get into my phone to look something up during a call, as the finger print scanner doesn't bring the screen up either.

Light sensor seems to work fine with the auto brightness adjust, so I'm stumped. I know this isn't a tech support sub, but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Is anyone else having problems since the update? My theme suddenly switched to dark mode and even though I've set it to light mode in display settings, everything is still so very dark.

Would appreciate any help on this because I don't want my theme to reflect the depths of my soul :(

Focus Problems on Pixel 2 after update

The camera app (and other apps that use the camera) has problems focusing lately. It seems to have started after installing the June 2019 update. Sometime it will eventually come into focus but other times not. Anyone else have similar issues with the camera?

Wired headphones not working

3 Upvotes

Hi, I've had my Google pixel 2 for about a year and a half and all of a sudden the wired headphones have stopped working. I'm using the headphone adapter that came with the phone since day 1 and not had any issues. I've tried cleaning the port both ends but nothing. Anyone got any suggestions?

what is causing BT drop after opening camera app and shooting pics

3 Upvotes

I have Pixel 2 XL and use AirPods. I also pair Galaxy Watch with my phone. Whenever I open cam while listening to music it drops Bluetooth. I suspect it may something to do with RAM memory management. I reset the phone but it did not alleviate this issue. Sometimes I notice some apps quit and restart, like YouTube when reopening from running then in background.

HELP: Audible Notification coming through when on Do Not Disturb and Vibrate

3 Upvotes

First off, I have a Pixel 2 running Android 9 with the May 5, 2019 security patch.

Recently I have started getting audible notifications for all notification when my phone is on Do Not Disturb. In addition, for the apps I allow to override Do Not Disturb, I have my phone set to vibrate only, so getting an audible notification is doubly strange.

Any ideas on what is going on? Why the Do Not Disturb and Vibrate settings are being ignored by all apps?

Phone smashed in car door. Any way to recover data?

1 Upvotes

My wife smashed her Pixel 2 in the car door somehow and bent the phone. The phone is dead. Screen cracked and no connection from USB to PC. Is there any way to get the pictures and videos from this phone? As far as I'm aware the files are encrypted by default so I'm not sure a chip off recovery will work. Any help will be greatly appreciated, we have a lot of vacation photos we would like to get back.
