I only do that if I'm running into issues, otherwise I'll keep it as it is. Why reset when no issues

Same here. I'm not opposed to a factory reset, but don't start off with a factory reset.

This is my go to as well.

Another thing I think I've noticed is that the adaptive brightness seems too aggressive when it comes to dimming the display. I always find it too dim in m most situations

I don't really touch mine much....haven't found the need

This is going to sound crazy, but every time I get an updated OS I do a factory reset.

I believe over time it's been less of a necessity to reset. Than there is the question of reset before or after update. When I was part of Motorola testing they sometimes asked us to reset prior.

Just because I do not see it does not mean it is not there So if I do the factory reset and start noticing a problem I have lready taken that needed step. I never thought about doing one prior but I might start doing that as well. Factory reset, update, factory reset, Go!!!

Used to reset before and after but these days it is only neccessary IMO to do so after an update and ONLY if your experiencing issues that might require a reset to straighten out. Updates have been smooth and seamless for me for quite some time and I cannot recall when I last needed to do an FDR. If it ain't broke I don't fix it.

Any trick getting Samsung Gear S2 working with Pixel 2 XL? Gear software crashes when trying to connect on initial setup.

Anyone experience extra slow updates to apps in the Google Play Store? Takes super long for it to initiate the download and install.

On the same wifi network and my S9+ and N8 update apps quick.

Can't say that I've noticed that..... I'll try to pay more attention

 

[wyelkins]

I never do a reset.

I've seen that happen recently on my old Nexus 6 running the Pixel Experience ROM but never on my 2 XL.

Is your device listed as "Certified" in Play Store settings?

I confess, I do this....

But, I've also changed how I setup my phone with P and I have turned different things on and off and I wanted to clean things up to have it settle back in. Probably still not necessary though. IDK why, I just can't help it.

Yeah mine is listed as certified. It seems to be ok now. Guess it was probably just a fluke.

Nope, updates are downloading just fine on my Pixel.

It seems that Samsung needs to update the app. Mine worked initially when I joined the Beta I would still get notifications but the app didn't work, then I think it was beta 3 my watch was always showing that it was in stand alone mode, I couldn't get it to connect to the phone so I had to set it up as new and now I don't get notifications or anything. I am hoping Samsung updates the gear app soon.

That is strange because I still have the cast icon on my YouTube app.

Thanks for that. I think it's be down to my LG TV recent app update. I ended up linking my phone directly to the TV using the YouTube app and that resolved the problem

My main reason for leaving the Android P beta program so my S3 would function properly again also regained use of Capital one app , none Pixel phone

I've actually noticed that problem in the last couple of days. Whichever app will show 100% downloaded but will just sit there for a few minutes before it starts installing.
This is on stock Oreo BTW.

Good luck with that. Every app developer that I had reported problems to blew me off with 'oh, well that's a Beta version of the OS' - so much for being proactive about being ready for the official release.

Yes this is what's happening to mine but it's not consistent. Sometimes it's quick and sometimes it'll hang.
