so I installed dp3 a couple days ago and the always on display would not show Google weather on it so i decided to factory reset today. as soon as it booted up I had it back and was working perfectly. as soon as I restart the phone it was gone again and hasn't been back. tried everything but another reset to get it back but no luck

Beta releases are just weird sometimes, I guess. I never got a glimmer of the weather on my lockscreen with DP2, but it's been rock solid so far on DP3. Maybe DP4 later this month will get it right for everybody.

Anyone think that the swipe up (to app drawer) is a bit of a hassle? A swipe with my thumb will only bring up the recent apps list, and i have to swipe again to go to the app drawer. Is that how it is supposed to be?

Unable to connect to some Bluetooth speakers on DP3 but not a deal breaker

Yeah you have to do a longer swipe up to get to the app drawer and it's a bit of a stretch for me too sometimes if I'm holding the 2XL in my hand resting on my pinky. With two hands I have to use my non resting hand to do the long swipe. I've gotten used to just doing two quick swipes so it's not that big a deal for me.

Weird. Seems large for latest beta. Mine wasn't that big. When did you get that update?

That's normal. When I got the update it was the same size (pretty much).

OK thought mine was smaller. My bad.

Odd. This morning AOD wasn't on. It came back after I unlocked the phone. I also noticed that a swipe on the home screen of the Pixel launcher didn't pull out the Google app. That action came back after a restart. Gremlins, I guess.

Turn off battery saver.

Turn off battery saver.

I ended plugging my phone and noticed it was downloading about 2 hours later so I have it now

I have the Google "Carrier Services" app installed on all my Android devices. I just noticed that this app was disabled on my Pixel XL running Android 9 DP3. I can enable the app and there doesn't appear to be any issues, but when I restart/boot the phone, the app is disabled again. The app is always active on my other devices running Android 6.0 & 8.1. Anyone else running DP3 experiencing this issue? TIA

Just checked mine and it is running as normal.
Pixel 2 on latest beta
Edit: Just noticed an update for the app in the Play Store.

 

[SRFast]

Thanks. The reason I noticed it was not active on the Pixel XL was because the app was updated on my Nexus 5 and I was looking to update the Pixel app. The last time I looked, my Pixel and Essential phones still didn't pick up the update.

So you're set for automatic updates then? I always update manually to give me more control. Kind of weird how different things happen to different phones on these betas

I do have auto update enabled, but there are some apps I do manually.

My Nexus 5 is running on Marshmallow and has been updated to version 13.0, but the Essential running 8.1 and Pixel XL running DP3 are still stuck on version 12.0. Neither phone even detects the updated version.

Is anyone having issues opening the Amazon Alexa app? Mine had been running - even after the DP3 update, but I had to uninstall to help with a Smart Home device and now the app won't open??
