Bugs for the Android P Dev Preview 1

So far here's what I have heard about

Per @LeoRex Telegram X has force closes

What have you guys found?

 

[LeoRex]

Yep... The first launch was fine and it ran great. Move to another window and come back? Out would force close constantly until you cleared it's all data... And it becomes a matter of lather/rinse/repeat.

I also saw lots of errors reporting API compatibility issues with Action Launcher as well.

Yes, I'm seeing those in Nova Launcher, Facebook, Inbox and a couple other apps

 

[LeoRex]

I think that's a great addition... Gives people a better initial idea as to why their stuff is crashing.

I don't recall seeing those API today's toasts in earlier releases.

It could be that they changed a few APIs, and the developers are going to have to code for that. I'd hate to see Nova go away.

Yep just requires the dev targeting the new API level and probably redirecting a couple library references.

I cannot unlock the bootloader on my PIxel 2 XL to downgrade back to Oreo. I have done two factory resets and tried fastboot. At first after activting "developer options" the unlock bootloader option was greyed out, after the factory reset it allows me to select the unlock bootloader option and asks me for my pin. I enter my pin and nothing happens, the bootloader remaines locked. I have opened a ticket with Google and sent them a bug report. My Pixel 2 XL was purchased from Google so its not the VZW issue of locked bootloader.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The stock Gmail app crashes on launch, Mail by Google crashes when you open an email. Wiped cache and reinstalled both. No luck.

SOLVED - I sideloaded the OTA.zip and was able to get back to Oreo. Life is good now

I use incognito tabs in the Chrome browser, often having many (10 or more) "regular" and incognito taps loaded.

With the DP2 preview, I find that my incognito tabs are disappearing (all that were previously loaded) every few hours or so. Before I installed the O beta, incognito tabs remained until I manually closed them or until a reboot.

Facebook force closes when opening news articles, Gboard freezes when opening Text messages, twice my phone has locked up and I had to force restart. Today It froze up and battery went from 80 something percent to 6% after unfreeze. I may just leave beta...

Anyone having problems sending SMS texts? Particularly using Hangouts? Over Project Fi?

I seem to be having issues today. Sent SMS seem to go (that is, they process and are then tagged "Sent via Project Fi" with a timestamp) but never received at the other end. But, I can receive SMS from the same persons.

Right. I engaged Project Fi support just after that post - https://forums.androidcentral.com/g...2-project-fi-sms-appears-broken-new-post.html

My squeeze is hit or miss... Half the time it says Google is unavailable.
