Beta 8.1

[N_Atlantic_Kraken]

I am also having problems with the Play store crashing every time I hit "read more." I've been using the 8.1 beta since it was released, but only noticed the problem today.

Is the "Saturated mode" screen fix for Pixel 2 XL in the beta? If so how is it?

Is it Settings -> Display -> Advanced ->Vivid Colors?

Or, is that something else?

No the new saturated mode isn't released yet. My bet is 8.1 release 2 due out sometime this month will have it. The Vivid colors option gives a 10% boost but it's barely noticeable. Right now the only way you can get a more saturated look is to use the app Oreo Colorizer which you can find via a google search.

I too get the crash from the playstore on read more..

Do you mean this "Read more" link? It works fine for me.

I have Play Store version 8.3.41.U-all [0] [FP] 170066753. If I tap on it, it pops a box that says Google Play Store is up to date.

If you are running the same version, try going to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Google Play Store -> Force Stop and then Storage -> Clear Cache. Those two things often solve Play Store problems.

It seems to have just fixed itself. I did just install a Google app update so maybe it was in there.

There is no longer a "Clear Cache" in Settings/Storage.

No, not Settings -> Storage.

Settings -> Apps & notifications -> [choose an app] -> Storage -> Clear Cache button.

I haven't had a camera crash since owning the phone. On 8.0 stock and 8.1 beta.
