Phone Connection Slow? - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

I've Google all of the reported issues of the Pixel and didn't see anyone complaining about this. When I make or receive a phone call, it takes about 10-20 seconds from the time we answer the phone to the time we can hear each other /talk. Anybody else having this issue?

Not sure what network you're on but I'm working closely with Verizon and Google on my LTE connection. I am getting my third RMA device on Tuesday. Also, if you are on Verizon, not sure if you have a Google or Verizon P2 - that may be a factor as well, as I'm finding out with my Google P2.

My Google version pixel 2 on Verizon is fine.

I'm on Verizon and using a Verizon P2. Wish I had the Google version so I can manipulate software and see if a different radio/rom/hack would fix it.
I'm beginning to think it has something to do with HD calling. I received 2 calls over the weekend which worked fine (no long connection time). This morning my wife calls and it took 15+ seconds before we could hear each other. It was so slow that she hung up the first time and called back. This morning I distinctly remembered seeing HD calling on the phone as I answered. The next time someone calls I'll make note if it says HD or not.

Anyone get the new 8.1 beta 2 update? I'm on 8.0 with the November security update so I'm not eligible for the beta 1 update. I read that the beta 2 was just released but still no update even though I've unregistered and re-registered a half dozen times.
I'm hoping an update would fix this issue. If not I'll end up replacing this phone or going back to my Pixel 1.
I also navigated today for the first time and that was a horrible experience. The phone didn't move with me. The only way I could get it to update my location was to close navigation and restart it. I didn't realize this until after I'd missed my turn.

Why not just download the 8.1 DP2 firmware, remove the -w from flashall.bat script(so it doesn't wipe) and update manually?
You can dl here https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html

Why wouldn't manually updating to dp2 work on the Verizon pixel 2? Not sure if it will work with removing the - w, but with it left in I don't see what would stop it from working. You not rooting or unlocking anything... Or does it need to be Verizon firmware? You can also try removing the bootloader and radio imgs, and flash-all without those

If you read the instructions for manually flashing firmware, one of the first steps is to unlock the bootloader. Not sure why Google chose to do it that way but it won't work on a locked phone. I've tried before on a locked Pixel 1.

I feel dumb for not thinking of this earlier but I reset network connections today and it *seems* to be working fine. Time will tell.

Nexus 5 "Roaming" issue, Three UK

Hi All,
Been having issues with Nexus 5 now for a while and don't seem to be able to resolve it, originally my partner had the Nexus 5 from new since December 2013. She complained like hell about it so eventually I got in contact with Google and got them to agree to a new replacement device (I then kept the new one and she had my S4)
At numerous points through out the day the Nexus 5 while go into "roaming mode" (H+/4G logo replaced with R at the top) and the only way to get it out of Roaming mode is to go into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, from here to manually scan and then select auto again.
Google Play have sent me 3 replacement devices incase of a hardware issue but all 4 phones have had this issue now, my partners S4 and S5 dont suffer with the same issue and she is on Three aswell.
The one thing I have noticed is when I manually scan for networks Three comes up twice in the list, so maybe its an issue auto switching between then two?
Google keep trying to get me to run in safe mode, do factory resets etc but nothing works, I have now sent them a response today basically saying I've had enough and want to return the item so I can go out and buy a HTC One M8 (not holding my breath)
Nexus 5, Android 4.4.4 KTU84P on Three UK.
Anybody else had this? it seems to be Hardware and Network specific
Are you rooted if so what ROM?
I used to have it a lot but not for a long time now. Three UK also.

Standard ROM, no changes at all to the software.
Tempted to try a custom ROM but then I loose access to Barclays/SKY GO (both these apps wont run on rooted devices)
in the main phone settings, mobile networks, uncheck the roaming options.
Tried that also

You should try a custom ROM. As mentioned I've not had this issue for ages. I think perhaps not since I moved to SlimKat. Maybe give it a try? Root isn't activated in it by default so won't affect those 2 apps.

Not saying it will solve the issue for you, but I can say i haven't had this issue for a long time (and I used to a lot with Three) so its at least worth a try.
I don't have any special settings set. There is only an option for national data roaming but when we roam, we only get voice from Orange anyway. 2G I think

The black inserts that make up the letters on the back cover, are just stickers
I get this, but only in a low signal area.
I get this from time to time, on any phone I've used in the year I've been with Three (One M7, Nexus 5, One M8, Nexus 5). Usually fixes itself once back in a decent area

Installed Slimkat tonight using the following methord.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install CWM
3. Install Slimkat and Gapps
Now I'm not sure if its fixed the initial issue yet only a few days of testing will confirm that but I now have two more issues.
1. Even though I never rooted the phone, SkyGo and Barclays are saying its rooted and wont let me use them
2. The DPI is awful (very small) and it wont let me change it using an app because guess wot... I need root access

I guess that's why root cloak doesn't work with those 2 particular apps
Try and edit the zip and reflash it without the su binary. You can also edit the DPI in build.prop at the same time.

Auto Rotate Issues w/ latest update?

Has anyone else noticed any issues with their sensors after the December security patch? My auto rotate and proximity sensor both seem to be on the fritz. A reboot will temporarily fix the issue. I'm wondering if it's just my phone or others are experiencing these issues.

Agreed. Screen doesn't go off when raised to your ear sometimes and same thing with autorotate. Reboot fixes it. It's annoying though.

Thought about it, but at this point it seems easier just to reboot the phone.
Of note though, the rotation failure seems to happen after using navigation...possibly. I'll report back if I can determine certain apps or actions trigger the failure.

I don't get why they even bothered with the sensors and auto rotate because there was nothing wrong with them to begin with!! I guess Verizon hasn't ever heard of "if it ain't broke, don't mess with it".. This is why I don't like updating anyway!

I don't understand it either. I know I'll be leaving the Samsung brand on my next upgrade! My wife bought a note 7 and went through that fiasco. After returning it and getting an S7 she hasn't seen a security patch since. She is sitting on Samsung's newest flagship and it's on October's security patch. Now my note 5 is flaky thanks to updates to things that were working just fine. I'm done, I'm hoping the next Pixel phone is everything I want it to be.

I've pretty much had it with Verizon at this point myself and I especially don't like being told what I can and can't do with the phone that I paid 800 dollars for in one payment only to find out it's all locked the hell down and Verizon won't even offer those of us who do want to mod our phones a way to unlock the bootloader.. It's like buying a car and being told where you can and cannot drive it.. Plain stupid!!

Sorry to keep bugging you but could you please check in your Settings then About Device then scroll down to Android security patch level and let us know what it states (for example January 1, 2017)? OR in the same section, maybe you can also check what the Android Version is... It would be nice if you got the Nougat update/7.x!
If you have the February 1, 2017 patch then that's what most of us are waiting for to fix these issues! If you are still on the January patch then we need to look for another answer/fix.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I didn't see an update from you about this, but I wanted to weigh in. I saw this thread and your issue. I installed the update myself and it seemed to stay on the Sprint LTE screen for way too long. I actually had time to stare at it, worry, then pull up this thread, reread your issue, read the reply about recovering, and reread the solution! Then the screen dimmed and after I stared it down some more, it loaded the system stating the update was successful. Not sure if this was your issue, but maybe? For those that may run into this, I guess be patient!

To fix the issue, I had to perform a clean Odin flash then update. I'm guessing the conflict was related to me previously being on the beta versions of Nougat.

I had same issue before this update. Phone was stuck on beta version and said I was on the latest version when checking OTA. Smartswitch is complete garbage. Not only do you have to mess around with old C++ redistributable just to get the latest Smartswitch to run, once you do get it running the auto-prompt to revert back to stock no longer worked and the manual recover feature also didn't work as it said I had an invalid serial number even know I didn't. Not only did it not work, apparently the serial it wants is on the box only so if you don't have the box your SOL. I had the box and it still didn't work. Total lousy tool and worthless.
I ended up having to flash the official build with ODIN doing a clean flash. Once I did that, everything was great. Issues went away (battery drain, lag, getting hot, etc) Now this latest update popped up like normal. Update didn't take long to install, all good.
So those that were on beta at some point, use ODIN to flash official build. I already have a GS8+ on order and moving to big red after 15+ years with Sprint. Sprint is taking away subsidy on top of I can't take the network anymore it's total crap. That is a story for another day.
Well if anyone cares, the update includes the checks against hiding GPS mock apps from system. No more hiding. No more Pokemon Spoofing, if you're into that.

I have the same issue. Updated late Sunday evening and never got past the LET screen. I left it on over night plugged in and still at the LTE screen in the morning. Went to Samsung Experience Center in Best Buy and they re-flashed and all was well with no data loss.
I was prompted for the update again this morning, ran it and again looking at the damn LTE screen as I type this. The Samsung folks are off until Thursday so trying to figure this out. The SmartSwitch app does not recognize the phone.
Will look at Odin and appreciate any tips you, or anyone, has.

Well considering it's Google's famed staged update process, you will probably have the update by next year.
just updated and It does not work on AT&T.
So I have the Pixel 4XL on Verizon and was able to get RCS working with a buddy who has a Pixel 1 on Google Fi. However I don't seem to have luck with others such as my girlfriend who has an S10 on ATT. Any ideas?
My phone works, but how do I convince others to use it too and make it compatible across network and devices?

It's not currently working on Samsung messages but apparently google is working on it.
"The Google Messages app is also a hard requirement right now (outside some carrier collaborations like Rogers’ and Sprint’s use of Jibe) but it sounds like the company would like to open things up to other apps in the future, stating that "we are working on bringing chat features broadly to more regions, carriers and other messaging apps (e.g. Samsung Messages)."

android 11 update?

Hello all
I purchased a Pixel 4a from Verizon 2 weeks ago . This is the first google pixel phone I have bought. Well my question is is should I have gotten the update by now or does it really take 2 weeks to push out to all phones?

Historically, it can take up to two weeks for an OTA. Did you go into settings/system/advanced/system update and check for an update manually?
Yes I've done all of that. I've even factory reset the device to see if that would trigger the update. Guess I will have to keep waiting.
Thank you for answering my question.

Then I believe your only other option is to sideload the OTA

For anyone else in this situation.
Opt into the beta that is over and the official build will be ready when you go to and check for the update.

Had mine now about a week and am seeing an issue with bluetooth media playing once the phone enters screen lock/screen saver. The media stops playing until the screen wakes up again. How did this get through the beta, anyway?
I'm on Verizon Prepaid and udated to Android 11 several days ago by manually checking for updates.
Anyone knows if touchscreen bug ITS already patch(on 11 update?
