My screen is noticably darker after the update. I hope they fix it soon

Your screen is just darker in general? I just installed and I don't notice any difference in my screen brightness.

noticed you can see the weather now with the always on display (at least with pixel launcher)

Another bit of info from XDA via reddit:

The brightness slider behavior slightly changed in this preview: It now changes the brightness logarithmically instead of linearly. Before this preview when it was linear, about 90% of the brightness was controlled by the lower 20% of the left of the slider. The old 50% brightness was almost identical to 100% max brightness, and the old 5% brightness was significantly brighter than 0% brightness. Now, the change in perceptual brightness is now more uniform as you increase or decrease the slider.

The brightness slider position should spend most of its time throughout the day near-max now, but that's fine. The brightness of the panel hasn't changed, just the behavior of the brightness slider, and for the better. Other OEMs have had a logarithmic brightness slider since forever, Google just only now caught up with this standard physics-based implementation.

I had the clock on the status/notification bar displayed with "seconds". I've lost this in the DP3 OTA update. System Tuner UI is no longer available o change the time format. ANyone know how I can get it back? TIA

 

[sleepnclass]

just got dp3 and touch targets are all kinds of messed up

My lock screen weather is not working, on the previous beta it would work for a while and the stop. I could then force stop the Google app and uninstall updates and it would start working again but have had no luck so far with preview 3. Does anyone have any ideas? I did the OTA for both.

Running nice and smooth for me so far, no issues I can see. The brightness was off from the beginning. Adjusted that. Previously 40% was fine but now 85 is needed to be the equivalent it seems. Hope this doesn't affect battery.

Everyone just updating over DP2 or doing a fresh install?

 

[cbreze]

I just hit download and let it happen, nothing special

 

[Nauga]

Was System Tracing a developer option in DP2? I don't remember seeing it before.

My Pixel 2 does not have a darker screen with the DP3 update and my touch targets don't seem to have a problem. I had a few glitches with Google Maps with DP2 and they seem to be gone now.

I don't remember this working at all on DP2. I only just noticed it on DP3. Is this the lock screen specifically or the "always on" display?

Just got DP3 haven't installed yet though

Well that is the changes. I was just answering your question . I am sure there is some back end tweak/bug fixes and the latest month's security patch but you aren't really going to find much else.

They are also adding to that link when they find new things.
