What has me confused is that my 2 XL and my 3 XL are both running Android Pie with the native launcher. I get that Google locked down adaptive icons all the way back in 8.0 and I also get that plenty of apps have yet to adopt to that standard (ironically Google own Hangouts is one of them) but...

I'm at a loss as to how the adaptive icons on my pixel 3 XL seem to be terrible compared to my Pixel 2 XL. See the images. For example, look at Boomerang or Countable. How do I get the icons to display their normal shape instead of that horrible circle. Neither phone has developer mode enabled...

Thanks! I'm leaning towards concluding it's a software issue with Pie as well. I can't remember for sure but I think the problems didn't start with my original Pixel 2XL until the upgrade. Combined that with my personal cable collection basically not having changed at all in nearly a year and...

I trying to get to the bottom of why I've had 2 Pixel 2XLs display the same issues in less than 3 weeks. I bought my first Pixel 2XL at launch and it worked brilliantly until about 2-3 months ago, when it began I only charging with the USB C cable oriented in one direction. A support call to...

I haven't bought it yet. I have been searching to see whether any new apps were added with the upgrade but was unable to find any info. Every post about the Jellybean update listed the new features but not whether no apps had been added to the multiscreen list. Thanks for this info!! Now all...

Now that the Note 8 is set to release with a lot more apps available for multitasking, is there any word on whether those new apps will be made available for the 10.1? I'm thinking of buying one but, since the multitasking is one of the main reasons I'm choosing it over say the Nexus 10, I'm...
