Android O picture in picture not working - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Just installed the Android O Beta and a playing YouTube video doesn't go into Picture in Picture mode when I return to the homescreen.
Has anyone had this problem and was able to fix it, or has anyone just installed the O beta and has this working without a hitch?
Didn't work when I upgraded to the beta from 7.1.2, I have since tried a factory reset, and as far as the play store tells, there are no updates available to any app.

I installed the beta version of O today on my Pixel XL through Google beta program and picture in picture is not working for me either.
It's​ a reccurrent problem according to some reviews on YouTube.
I also heard that it currently only works with a YouTube red subscription...

This worked for me

Nice! I expected PiP to trigger automatically on pressing the home button, but this workaround certainly works. Cheers!

Hello! I just installed Android beta O also and in system mode I do not see anything more than this.! Could you help me.? How do I activate the picture in picture mode. Thanks

same issue for me. I can't get picture in picture to work on my pixel xl
no luck with picture in picture for me. that was the best feature of android o I was looking forward to.

Picture and picture working on Android O DP4, last time I try to exit porn without pausing XD

PIP access removed from System UI Tuner in OPP4???

PIP not activated in OPP4, but the app Custom Navigation Bar has the "keycode" adding feature to enable it.

Get the app "Custom Navigation Bar" from Play store, enter 171 as the keycode when you create an extra navigation button. I chose the screenshot icon as my PIP button. Works great.

As I stated on this post, get the app "Custom Navigation Bar" by paphonb and enter 171 for the keycode when you create a new button. I used the screenshot icon for my button, looks sharp.

I have just installed the final version of Android O released today and the picture in picture more does not work...

maybe, i am in Denmark, dont work here either, in system tuner i only have status bar and dont distrub options.

Same here. Canada. Doesn't work with Chrome or YouTube.

Everyone on this thread -- the PiP mode only works for certain apps that support it. Not all apps support it. Also, all the apps that do support it will request for your permission to use the mode.
If you go to Apps & notifications > Special app access, you will find a permission node for picture-in-picture.

Thanks, mcbeat—the default behaviour is that it's turned on for every compatible app though automatically. So, unfortunately, this doesn't help ?.

Yep not working here in the UK, what's the point in having PIP as a feature if it doesn't work properly - if it's bull**** to make me get YouTube Red - then it's not working, in fact if Google did that it would be a really **** move.

[XPOSED] Twisty Switch: Customize your Moto X's twist gesture!

This isn't supported or being developed for anymore. No need to ask for features / settings / etc since they won't happen.
This is an Xposed module that allows you to customize what happens when you perform the "twist" motion that normally starts the camera.
Right now you are limited to launching activities that are available through your launcher.
This module allows enabling/disabling of the vibrate that occurs when starting an app.
This is an initial and quickly tested release. It's possible there are bugs with it. Please report anything you find here! (Logcat stacktraces appreciated )
Please suggest twist actions or features that you'd like to see in future versions!
The module can be found in the Xposed repo by searching "Twisty Switch"
List of bugs / to-dos :
If you have a pin enabled the screen will not turn on.
Sort alphabetically
Can do the twist gesture when your desired app is already open
Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.dym.twistyswitch
Good job Op. Testing it ASAP.
Sent from Moto X
Works great thanks! Could the list of apps be sorted alphabetically? That would make finding things so much easier. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot , testing !!!
Great job I tried it with the new Google camera it opens it but initially I get an error message I have to clear that says could not connect to camera. I hit OK an the camera opens great beta app.
Not working on my Moto X. Do you need some info to fix it?

The "Could not connect to camera" message shouldn't have anything to do with Twisty Switch. It's launching the camera app no different than how your launcher would normally start up the camera.
I'm not trying to insult you so don't take it that way. Do you have xposed installed this is only a module not a stand alone app. If you do then make sure after you install it you go into exposed and activate it then reboot and it will work. On a side note for the OP the error message I get for the Google camera doesn't always happen its intermittent. I don't know how to log the error but will if you tell me how to and post the log.
Here is a screen shot of the error and I have a maxx.

Okay I just got it to happen. I think I have an idea of why its happening. I'll take a look at it later tonight.
Thanks for the feedback. Bear with me while I get things fixed
Wow this works pretty great thanks so much!
One suggestion I have though is add an option to hide the app from the app drawer.
Nice work.
Disabling the annoying vibration is the best feature in my opinion.
If the motorola stock camera app isn't running (hibernated/removed) it doesn't work. I'm not excieted about this. Just for the protocoll.

I just edited my post. It was the stock camera app.
I hibernated it, because i do not know, what it does. And haven't recognize any issues, yet, by disabling it.

Just wanted to say this app is great. However in the latest beta, clear notifications quit working on my Google pixel running Oreo. It was working in prior versions.

There won't be an OTA for this. It's a Developer Preview targeted at app creators that might want to adapt or test new features, and not intended for daily driver use. Critical features (like functioning as a phone) might be fundamentally broken or buggy, and by downloading it you're opting out of the normal customer service and warranty channels (instead of troubleshooting or device repair, you'll be directed to submit a beta feedback report), so they aren't going to make it easy for end-users to load it up.
https://www.essential.com/developer/developer-preview-issues
Known Issues from Essential
Here's a current list of known issues for the Android P Developer Preview on Essential Phone:
• Dynamic calendar/clock is not behaving as designed
• Neko accessory version and serial number do not display in Android Settings
• Outgoing SMS over IP not working
• "System > Gestures > Swipe up on home button" does not work, can use "Home settings" to enable/disable
• W-Fi Hotspot does not stay on
• Cannot receive VT (Video Telephony) calls
• Volume drops during audio playback after tapping on launcher screen with dongle attached
• VoLTE not working
• Quick setting appears in pink with dark wallpaper

Huh...SMS over IP, video calls, and VoLTE not working....OUCH! Sounds like they tanked the SIP stack, so no thanks to this preview!

After I flashed it, seems to be sitting/stuck on the Essential logo with the "powered by android" text at the bottom for a while. I flashed it with the .bat file provided.
WAY too many critical issues to even consider using this... It will basically make your phone barely usable...

AR emoji and Slowmo camera

I just installed from scratch the latest update available for mi G955F (exynos S8+) but I'm not seeing any options available for either AR emoji or super slowmo in the camera app.
CSC: MXO
Build number: CRK3
Checking the camera app version that is installed it shows that it was released... according to apkmirror on July and I'm not getting any update to the app either, tried to install something from apkmirror but it didn't worked, did a factory reset but nothing happen, I'm just wondering if I didn't flashed the firmware adequately, I flash everything.
Any help/comments?
Thank you for reading my bible...

New Control Center 9.0 apk package(from Fantouch 9.0)

Well guys from Vivo forum someone has uploaded new control Center panel from Fantouch 9.0 UI.
http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/thread-4345771-1-1.html
It said that it works fine with 6.13.13 Pie software version of Vivo Nex S.(After applying installations restart your phone)
I've tried it on my Dual Display device with Pie and doesn't working properly as gesture navigation is not working any more and after few minutes of installation,also control center swipe gesture from the bottom also after few minutes doesn't work.
But you can try by yourself with Nex S as I'm still with 8.1.
It's easy to uninstall If doesn't work on you by going setting all app-system app and find Control Center and press uninstall updates,restart your phone and everything back to normal as before.

After few days can you provide feedback of how Pie on Nex S perform especially battery life.
It's the same as 8.1,worst or better.
Also did you do dirty upgrade or clean install??
That's very important especially with major upgrade.

dirty flash, performance of the new pie version is great. i´m not a heavy user but i can tell you battery life is fu.... awsome, i get with the phone 3 days standby by near 9 hours sot in my use routine.
if i use the phone heavier, I am convinced that I can reach the 10 hours.
system settings, no bluetooth only one sim card and wifi + mobile network in combination, no battery saver activ, apps i use are, browser, google clock, Nova Launcher, buttons remapper, phone, Fluid gesture navigation, whatsapp, twitter, instagram, google assistant, banking app, youtube vanced, amazon, ebay etc.
yeah i´m satisfied, however pie is yet not perfect like oreo, there are minor bugs but they are little not big deal, and the only thing is we can´t theme pie with andromeda and vivo don´t provide deep black theme thats ridiculous, 3rd party support too we can´t use aod, clone app etc.
I love my Chinese Nex S this thing looks beautiful has enough power, and great display and a big battery. i pray that it last a long time i wanne keep it as long as i can. don´t need other phone. it has almost all what i need (LED notification is missing ) and it is futuristic. that´s my opinion.
if you all here don´t like what i write, keep it for yourselfs i don´t give a f......
I totally agree. Pie also brought the possibility of using the screen in half with all the apps and not just a few like with Oreo. The battery lasts for me 7 hours, only 4g, bluetooth with clock connected, Blokada as a VPN block, whatsapp and telegram always synchronized. The only difference is the AOD that has not implemented any external app. I hope Paatha13 insists with Vivo to have this option implemented.

I forgot. I went from 1.23.5 to the first beta of Pie. Then to 6.13.4, finally to 6.13.13 without ever formatting (I have the phone since November). I'm sure that formatting the battery could last longer.

One problem I find is that when I pick up the phone, the screen does not turn on instantaneously for unlocking but after about 1 second. Does it happen to you too?
Thanks for the details feedback and impression with Pie upgrade guys.
Good to hear almost everything is very satisfactory.
As for AOD and third-party app notification our only hope is Fantouch 9.0.
But again Pie brought much more customization option with AOD and that's welcome movement from Vivo.

okay but personally i like the new control center ui better, it matches better with my google themed phone! with power shade and VoluMIUI looks better then the old transparent control center.

Hy everybody
I installed the Android Pie Yesterday and I'm very disappointed by the battery management.
I usually use my phone 2 days without charging it but this evening it goes down to 40% with a low usage.
Is there a way to setup the power management in order to return to normal ?
