What is everyone's take on the new ambient display? I feel it's a bit cumbersome and not as easily activated. I was used to being able to swipe quick settings down as it was activating to access flashlight and such.

Samsung Gear app doesnt work, it force closes. Can't use my Gear S3 watch with it. :(

Im also getting a force close of Google Play Music and Samsung Pay every time I restart my phone.

I dont like how they moved the battery percentage outside of the battery icon. :(

Did you install the second update? A lot of forums state it fixed some of their app crashes.

URGENT - If you join the Beta but want to unenroll, it says it will do an OTA of the last good build of N but it doesn't work. As it stands, you are stuck on the Beta. Anyone have any tips to force this OTA to go back to N?

You could always download the latest image yourself and flash it. But it will wipe all data....

Wiped the cache for Android Pay and restarted the device. I was able to successfully complete an Android Pay transaction. That's after Pixel chat support saying I couldn't. Since completed three Android Pay transactions on Android O.

Finally, easy option to enable battery percentage to show up on status bar in stock Android 😂

Liking Android O a lot so far...very stable. Loving the battery percentage. I like the new badge notifications. But imho they need to be red in color and bigger. That blue is just a little hard to see and too small.

The badge notifications? They are dynamic in color and are based on the color of the icons.

I can't get them to work at all I've enabled as many permissions that I can find. Any ideas?

Hmm I had similar issues with YouTube PIP even though I'm YouTube red subscriber, wasn't able to get PIP working. But I did a factory reset after installing android O, after which everything started working fine.

I have seen reports of various other features working for some and not for others. I know not the best suggestion but just starting fresh by doing factory reset might resolve lots of issues.
