Hey all, I have a OP 7 pro and ever since receiving the OTA update to 10.0.3 everything seems to be buggy. Soon after, 10.3.0 came along and is no better.
Some of my issues include:
- battery drain
- GPS not accurate
- Many apps showing no network connection even though I have internet
- apps crashing on their own
- play store and games won't stay logged in
There are other issues but I can't remember at there moment.
Is there a resolution for these? Can I download back to 9?
Thanks for any advice.
You are no lucky or you are a noob
Not sure how to analyze that answer.
I'm not lucky - sems to be quite a few out there who aren't lucky then... They are posts on many sites with users complaining about issues after this upgrade.
I'm a noob - relevant? Maybe I am, I used to have another XDA account which I don't use any more... Been a member since 2008 - installed my first rooted Rom - Valhalla for the Samsung Galaxy s 4g ( not the s4, the s 4g. - that was before the s2 came out).
Again, not sure what the relevance is, just trying to understand what went wrong with the OTA.

Clear Cache in recovery, if that does not fix the issues, do a factory reset. Recommended to factory reset for maximum experience after big update., like from 9 to 10.
Did the clear cache... Still no joy
I was trying to avoid factory resetting. The upgrade on my OnePlus 5T went seamless. Oh well factory reset it is...
Just funny how Google apps seen to have the biggest issues... Lens always shows no network connection, and Google maps just plain won't pick up my location... Waze works fine which is the silly thing.
Have to wait till I get back home to do FR, thanks.
To be fair, there's not a whole lot one could say with the information given. Like are you completely stock? Rooted? What kinds of magisk modules if any? Etc...
All i can tell you is that i don't have any issues with the 10.0.3 update specifically or 10 in general.
But it does seem like your issues are related to gapps and services so I'd start there
Completely stock, I was thinking gapps... Will experiment and update
Get familiar with A/B slot partitions. It's a lot different from single slot systems.
Try a clean install through TWRP.

Not entirely sure if this matters but are you using a carrier variant or unlocked straight from OnePlus? Also, I'm not one for factory reset, but if you were experiencing problems on 10.0.3 and now 10.3, I can only surmise that some bits were probably corrupt and a factory reset would do you some good. That or flash back to 9.5 and completely update back up. Someone mentioned in another thread, that you should install the full it's 2.1gb if you are running a custom kernel.

Battery Life

I switch back to cm11 because i have 6%/hr of battery drain, (7hr/41min Screen on time, 65% left), that is for me horrible battery life.
I did not look the cpu states, but, if there is no deep sleep, it sould explain mi experience about battery.
I have the same mensage when I was in f2fs. I have to go back to ext4 to work.
Does anyone know if the AOSP Camera will be made available? I don't like the Google one since it doesn't allow me to choose the external SD card as a storage option.
The system itself boots, and runs quite smoothly from what I've tried so far. Very exciting!
But I've found that Lastpass crashes immediately when I try to launch it. I did a clean install with CM12 11/17. Has anyone else seen this behaviour with this app? I'm assuming for the moment it just hasn't yet caught up to Android 5, and I'll have to sit patiently on 4.4 until then.

I don't use that app, but it's probably either one of two things (or both):
This ROM was just release back on 11/14, so it's fairly new (the 11/14 was the first release), so there could be some issues that are causing the app to fail.
The app needs to be updated to run correctly under LP. There were some major changes to the API for LP that could cause other apps to fail that are now using these deprecated API calls. The developer needs to take there app and compile it under the latest LP compiler and libs to see if it compiles.
So, you'll probably have to wait and see. So far, I've been lucky. The apps that I need to work (CoPilot USA, etc) all work. Just waiting for dhacker to figure out the correct set of libs for DRM so that Google Play Movies and Netflix start working again. They work fine under my Nexus 7 running LP, but that was an official release by Google.

It turns out it was simply a matter of PEBCAK. I uninstalled Android System Webview, because it has the same icon as the stock Browser, while I was removing unwanted processes.
The first time , I flashed 11/15 version, everything seems to work fine ,then I flashed gapps, then I got no signal anymore,but everything else seems to work, so I did a factory reset, the gsm signal came back again, today when I trying to flash 11/18 version, the signal gone again, this time I don't want loose my data , what should I do to get a gsm signal? *#*#4636#*#* seems not working on 11/18, sorry for my poor english

Ah, I'm familiar with those errors as well as the ID10T error as well.
Works just fine, very smooth. Had no troubles with the signal at all.
However, I can't receive a call, the dialer just stops. It is possible though to make a call. Anyone had this problem?
yes had that error many times "dialer has stopped", this is work in progress man. I hope that dhacker checks this and the other thread and try to remedy some of the prob.
For that dialer has stopped error, a reboot can cure it. But again i cant rely on a phone that is going to quit when you need to make or receive a call.
So the fix for no service is still reboot and hope?
I'm on Verizon CDMA, XT926, 11/23 build, 11/22 gapps, SuperSU 2.27
Thanks.

I had an odd issue on 11/22 build:
When I connect my car via bluetooth, when a call comes in, pressing the answer button does nothing and the call keeps ringing forever.
Also,
Is Anyone having issues with restoring on TWRP 2.8.1.0? I tried restoring a backup I made and my phone won't boot. It just gets stuck at the cyanogen mod screen.
Edit: I restored a previous backup, installed TWRP 2.8.2.0 and then restored the backup I was trying to. It worked.

On my 11/25 build data wasn't working at first, I just turned it on and off from settings and it started working.
11/25 build is working for me as far as being able to receive phone calls. I was previously getting FCs on it when an incoming call was coming, but I was also running f2fs. I've gone back to ext4 and things seem to have stabilized at this point.
This build is the dhacker? I found nothing in his link. Many changes over the previous build?

SMS issue
Is the sms issue (can't receive sms, although the phone I'm sending from receives the delivery report) still present in this new build (12-02)? I've tried the 11-25 build and BlissPop and none of them allowed me to receive sms... It's the one real issue that's keeping me from jumping into Lollipop
Razr HD (XT925, KK bootloader)
My device does not come out of the boot with this version.
Recently purchased and have been liking the tablet besides it's internet performance. I immedietly updated the tablet to lollipop out of the box so I was not able to test it's network on kitkat.
Since using the tablet I've noticed a variety of issues:
1. Opening webpages in chrome is substantially slower than on my phone (htc one m8 running fairly stock sense rom), with longer load times and occasional hangs on page loads that require a refresh to complete.
2. When using either reddit is fun golden or reddit news pro, subreddits take longer to load than on the M8 as well.
3. Slow Google play downloads. I'm not sure if this is just a Play store being slow or truly an issue with my device. Occasionally if i have multiple downloads or updates qeued it will finish one and just sit on trying to start the next one without actually doing it.
I have been having these issues on two different home networks with different routers, different ISPs, and different cities. Interestingly though, when running the Speed Test app, the tablet does better than the M8 and comes back testing perfectly fine.
Any suggestions as to what i can do to get to the bottom of this? Any diagnostic test I can do? Any setting? Has anyone else been having these issues and is this just an issue with the lollipop update?
Thank you in advance!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think any OTA update is a "dirty flash". I also was having many issues that included complete freezing up of the tablet. You having updated out of the box could be different (I had a bunch of apps installed when I updated), but I think most of my issues were solved with a factory reset. ??
I'm sure its a software issue as at school I get 40mb which is alot than my nexus 7, 10mb
If my phone is on for more than 10 minutes, I lose calling functionality. When I try to call someone, it freezes and the Pixel becomes unresponsive, forcing me to hold down power for 10 seconds for a reboot. After this, it works just fine for another 10 or so minutes.
I have no idea when calling functionality begins to be lost because I can still send and receive texts, but I can't make or receive calls. I don't even get a wave of missed calls or anything when it works after a reboot.
Google Assistant has it's own issues when this happens too. It won't come up with "Hey, Google" at all. When I long press the home button, Google Assistant comes up, but I just get the floating dots. Fortunately, it doesn't freeze when I try this. Restart the phone and I'm good for about 10 minutes or so. I tried installing 3rd party calling apps, but the problem persists.
Hoping this is a Pie issue and waiting for the next security patch, will likely do a sideload flash-all. Any suggestions as to what the problem is from? Could my SIM card be the problem? Any apps I could try to help narrow down the issue? I had no issues with Oreo.
Thanks in advance.
Tried rebooting in safe mode. Slightly similar results: works fine for about 10 minutes but then it's just the mic not working. I can make and receive calls with out the phone freezing, but no mic.

I have a similar issue with a used Pixel I purchased. I couldn't place or receive calls, with everything else working fine. Did the prerequisite online searches with results finding most everyone experiencing this issue chalking it up to hardware but I'm still thinking software. I tried a different phone app (drupe-enabled as default) with some success, then the problem returned (a few days later, rarely get/make calls). The default google phone app (version 23.0) fails every time. Currently looking into TWRP/Root and hoping to eliminate certain default apps to experiment further. Will be keeping an eye on this post! :cyclops:

Could there be an issue within google play services with phone dialer app (any/or stock app)?
After continued issues I parked phone in drawer a bit then pulled out and tinkered with a few weeks later. Tried to isolate problem using logcat and on a hunch I flashed TWRP and a custom ROM but NOT any gapps package. Sticking sim in and using the built in phone app (Resurrection Remix -com.android.dialer) it works without issue. What? I flashed gapps (correct version/etc) and sure enough the problem returned. Went back to rom minus gapps, works fine. So, with straight up stock rom - stock phone dialer fails, custom rom - it works without a gapps package but not with.

Went back to Oreo before I had the problems and... problems persist. I'm sad. I had the privilege of speaking to someone from Google Support who was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my best option from the rep was to take it in to one of their authorized repair places.
Are you guys on Verizon? I'm having this problem with my dad's pixel on vzw.

See my updated post (# 3) for what I've tried since..
Vzw ended up replacing my dad's phone through extended warranty. I talked to Google for awhile. Multiple factory resets, factory image installs, tried older phone apks. Nothing worked.

Older/newer phone dialer apps didn't work for me either ... custom rom and eliminating google play services did (no gapps). I'm still tinkering with the device ... installing frequently used apps using F-droid and Yalp, will test it. Not quite sure why but it works.
I ended up flashing Lineageos for Microg, presents it's own problems in the learning experience but it works.
Nothing ever worked in the end. No, not with Verizon. Bought through Canadian carrier called Fido.
Called Google tech and they weren't overly helpful. I started a chat with a Google Tech and they suggested I take it to UBreakIFix. They did a free diagnostic test and I referenced https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsIW_gxTpXX3s/?hl=by that thread. Said they'd fix it for free even thought I was out of warranty. Got a new motherboard and my phone works like a charm.
I was having some issues with my Galaxy s6, so I figured if they stopped supporting my phone, I might as well get a new OS on it myself.
I rooted and installed 9.0

At first I tried to install previous versions of Lineage, but kept having issues with registering through google, but this one worked pretty easily. I am now using Nova launcher.
The issues I have with it are:
Slower GPS location, like much slower. I am now traveling in Toronto, and it's ridiculously slow to find where I am compared when i was in NYC. I'll continue testing though, maybe it was just a temporary bug
Battery drain seems faster. I was hoping to get an improvement on this issue.
I get no notifications when I get messages through "google voice' I have to open the app to look at it
There is no number in a red circle next to the app to tell me number of messages for it
Substratum not working, keep getting "could not fall back to rooted mode" although according to root checker, I'm rooted. I have no experience with this app, but it seems like it's worth checking it out lol
I think there may be more 'issues' but those are the main ones right now.
I use the latest OFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1, these works fine for me.
Been in the ROM/kernel scene for waaaaaaay too long and have constantly been told that I should use LineageOS (and its predecessor), esp on the Pixel devices that are no longer supported officially. However, LineageOS consistently fails me on every device, despite my being able to get everything BUT LineageOS to work. I've got to be missing something. Going to go through my experiences below...maybe someone can advice how the heck they get LineageOS to work for them on pixel devices?
Round 1: Nexus 6 (CM)
- Installed great
- No initial issues
- Randomly, phone would report "no sim" and stop working
- Reboots sometimes fixed the SIM issue, but sometimes didn't
- Calls lost because the SIM vanished, phone dropped data during a long drive, thus losing GPS access
- Random "service stopped" errors, usually regarding bluetooth
- Never resolved, even over a dozen different versions of CM (this was before Lineage, but same base)
Round 2: Pixel 2 (LOS 16?)
- Installed great, but had to be careful which gapps to use, as most were larger than the system partition
- No SIM errors right away, but a few reboots cleared it up
- Project Fi issues nonstop, with the phone unregistering several times a day
- SIM errors came back, saying my SIM is missing or damaged
- Overheating problems with the CPU. Appears to be the known bug with the CPU, but only appears in LineageOS
- Random "service stopped" errors, usually about the launcher
- Never resolved over different versions of LineageOS (last version tried was I think 16)
Round 3: Pixel 3 (LOS 17.1)
- ROM installs fine, but the notes say you need the Super Gapps to use Project Fi...but that Gapps doesn't fit in system. This seems like an oversight. Installed with smaller Gapps for testing, knowing there may be some Project Fi issues later. Each "try" below is a fresh reformat.
- First try, it popped up an error that there was a SIM, but it was damaged and unreadable. Could not continue. Told me to order a new SIM (the SIM's fine...). Lots and lots of errors about services crashing.
- Second try, it popped up an error that there was no SIM at all. It offered to just use wifi, which I accepted for testing. After downloading updates, it said the wifi doesn't work. Reboots, retries, just wouldn't work...even though it obviously had up to that point.
- Third try, it said my SIM was damaged again. This time it offered to activate eSIM online. Not sure why it hadn't said that previously, but ok. I tell it to activate...and it says the wifi is down. But...it isn't. Wifi working great, but can't activate the phone.
Overall, super frustrating and I can't imagine others are getting these errors, or LOS would have died out looong ago. How are others getting around these?!?

I just did a brand new install of a Lineage OS 18.1 nightly on my Pixel 3. I used NikGapps core since it has support for Android 11. I don't use Project Fi so I can't attest to that. So far everything has been running perfectly, with the exception of a few missing features or bugs I cannot figure out (small quality of life issues- nothing major). I too had issues in the past with CyanogenMod and I killed my old Motorola that way (probably user error though). I know you said your SIM is fine, but being that it has happened on 3 different devices... is it actually the same exact SIM? Might be worth the $10 fee or whatever to replace it. I haven't had a single error about any services crashing or stopping, perhaps I'm just lucky? One of the roms or gapps packages I was reading the notes on said you could install it in 1 or 2 different partitions, essentially making the size a non-issue. Stupidly, I can't remember which item I read that on, but it is apparently out there if you're willing to look.
I set up all my apps and stuff over WiFi and got the phone how I want it before plugging in my SIM card. I'm on T-Mobile. When I plugged in the SIM I didn't have to do any configuration at all it just works, even has WiFi calling. I don't have any apps on autoupdate and was careful about what "System" apps I toggled or installed from the play store. I'm afraid I can't help you much other than to tell you the nightly from 05-18-2021 doesn't give me the issues it seems to give you. Sorry bud!

Appreciate you looking at that. I haven't tried 18.1 yet, as I'm a bit gunshy after how bad 17.1 went for me. I'm strongly suspecting most of my issues go back to Project Fi...but it's not the SIM. I've actually bought 2 extra SIMs over the years trying to resolve this very issue. They all do the same thing on LOS.
Hadn't seen the splitting of gapps. That's news to me. Will look into that, as Project Fi requires the largest of the gapps...which is too big to fit into the system partition.

I'm running LOS 18.1 on my P3 blueline, running it for ages. I use OpenGapps Pico, and haven't had any issues to speak of. It took me a bit to figure out how to flash ROMs etc. on my P3 when I first bought it about 12 months ago, but once I got the hang of it, haven't had any issues.
LOS 18.1 seems very fast and responsive. Rooting with Magisk 23, running LSPosed through Riru, and even have Google Pay working like a charm. Android Auto working perfectly (patched with AIO and Scren2Auto so I can run virtually any apps on my car display if I want to).
Updates are fairly smooth; the only catch is I have to be careful to reflash the Magisk-patched boot.img before rebooting into the system, otherwise I lose root, and by extension, GPay stops working. I just update the ROM using ADB instead of the on-device updater, flash in TWRP recovery, then flash the patched boot.img in Fastboot ... reboot ... and Bob's your uncle.
I also have an old Nexus 7 (2013), and run LOS 18.1 on that 8-year-old tablet very nicely. It can be a tad sluggish on occasion, but for the most part it runs perfectly. The N7 is mostly my games/play machine. I use WiFi hotspot from the P3 when out and about to give the N7 internet access when needed - no problems.
All that to say ... Don't be afraid to try LOS 18.1. It's a fantastic ROM. Can't wait until LOS 19 builds start cropping up.

I'm running LOS 18.1 on my P3 blueline, running it for ages. I use OpenGapps Pico, and haven't had any issues to speak of. It took me a bit to figure out how to flash ROMs etc. on my P3 when I first bought it about 12 months ago, but once I got the hang of it, haven't had any issues.
LOS 18.1 seems very fast and responsive. Rooting with Magisk 23, running LSPosed through Riru, and even have Google Pay working like a charm. Android Auto working perfectly (patched with AIO and Scren2Auto so I can run virtually any apps on my car display if I want to).
Updates are fairly smooth; the only catch is I have to be careful to reflash the Magisk-patched boot.img before rebooting into the system, otherwise I lose root, and by extension, GPay stops working. I just update the ROM using ADB instead of the on-device updater, flash in TWRP recovery, then flash the patched boot.img in Fastboot ... reboot ... and Bob's your uncle.
I also have an old Nexus 7 (2013), and run LOS 18.1 on that 8-year-old tablet very nicely. It can be a tad sluggish on occasion, but for the most part it runs perfectly. The N7 is mostly my games/play machine. I use WiFi hotspot from the P3 when out and about to give the N7 internet access when needed - no problems.

Good info. Have 18.1 also and have it set up to allow OTA updates and keep magisk and my gapps. Have only done 1 update that way but works perfectly, keeps magisk modules also.
Curious, which twrp are u using? Didn't think there was one available?
cheers

Not using TWRP, I'm just using LOS recovery. Sadly, it doesn't allow for doing backups, but it does the job otherwise.
Just an update BTW - currently running into issues with Google Pay/SafetyNet, but it's due to Google playing silly buggers with GPay again, not the fault of LOS.
