Has anyone else still not gotten the newest update? I've gone in and manually checked for updates and still get the "device up to date" message. Just wondering how many people have gotten it versus the amount of people still waiting?
Yeah the pocket thing can be an issue with raise to wake. With my iPhone 6s I really like the feature. I found by putting it in my pocket upside down solved the constant waking of the phone when pocketed. With my HTC 10 I'm liking the double tap to wake just as much, maybe more.It's interesting how we all use our devices differently. Besides the Pixel, I also carry an IP7 and IP7+. I used raise-to-wake on my IOS devices for a few weeks, then turned it off. The IOS forums are full of users who argue that r2w is a great concept, just not well-executed. For example, phones should not turn on and waste battery when placed inside pocket, or faced down. Also, as more and more users have smart watches and receive notifications that way, raise-to-wake seems outdated.

You're right, my 7 doesn't turn on when it faces down inside the pocket. However, when I sit down, it'd no longer be headed down. For Android phones, I use Gravity or Screeble to also make use of the proximity sensor. But then, that's another sensor that's using battery.Yeah the pocket thing can be an issue with raise to wake.

Well, surprisingly it's a problem for those darn iPhones. That, or Apple didn't want to sacrifice battery for the proximity sensor.I would think this shouldn't be a problem regardless of the orientation of the phone in the pocket., just as it's not a problem with the Gravity app.
I would expect that the proximity sensor would prevent it from turning on
My 6s is the only one I have any experience with the raise to wake feature. Maybe an anomaly with that phone. Makes sense tho as when in a pocket it's constantly shifting around and sensing movement. In any case that was my experience with it and keeping it upside down when in pocket solved it. With the pixel's FPS on the back it would seem a logical way to have it in pocket anyway.I would think this shouldn't be a problem regardless of the orientation of the phone in the pocket., just as it's not a problem with the Gravity app.
I would expect that the proximity sensor would prevent it from turning on, as it worked with the droids.
You can always side load the update if you want to.
Just takes a little work on our end, but it's not difficult at all to do.
