I tried restarting numerous times. Unfortunately it doesn't help...

    I have been pressing check for update for the past 24 hours or so but no joy. I am using Pixel 8, is there no love for this device?

      I think, there are less users of this new devices = less testers for this separate version with additional security features.

      I have both, P7P and P8P – so I am also waiting for the stable version for my new daily driver P8P.
      And because my P8P is my daily driver, I can't risk to use an alpha or beta version of GOS.
      Otherwise I would have switched the release channel to beta or even alpha like some others here and would already be using the very latest version on the P8P.
      You shouldn't do that with your main phone, but only with a second device or an older test device.

          haval, Eagle_Owl:

          2024010400 is in Alpha for Pixel 5a, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro now (already Stable for everything else since earlier today, but there was a 2 day AOSP kernel tag delay for these due to a mistake). Will be moving along quickly to Beta and Stable for those. Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 extended support release for 2024010400 is also coming very soon

          We announced a status update on this release ~ 45 minutes ago in our #testing:matrix.org - permalink

          EDIT:
          ~ 20 minutes ago:

          Release is finally in the Beta channel for Pixel 5a, Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro along with Alpha for the extended support Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5

              All of your issues seems like the cause is that animations has been turned off, or reduced. You can find that in developer options on the phone. Did you install a 3rd party launcher? Maybe that messed with animations? Or a theme-pack?

                  Animations: the switch is not only in developer settings.

                  DanielP
                  Go to settings, type in the search field “animation”, then you get the right place w/o developer menu.
                  I guess, the menu name is “Remove Animations”?
                  I am German and am not sure with the English term in that Settings menu, but I guess you will find it.
                  Maybe you remembering the last changes you've made there?

                  I have this switch on at my P7P, but off on my P8P.
                  For me it's fine, but if Panda-na's guessing is right, then this could be the switch to toggle as your remedy.

                  Tip for such cases:
                  Make a screenshot before and after changes of settings.
                  If there are problems afterwards, remember the screenshots and find the old setting more quickly. ;-)

                        Did anyone noticed huge battery consumption on the pixel 8 after update? On my pixel it dropped from around 80% to 45% in 6h, SOT 30min, no background processes running

                          I am alos german.
                          I found the animation settings. No matter how I set them the behaviour remains the same. ..:-(

                              Have you tried to switch to gesture navigation? It's most probably not at all related but maybe worth a try? A few day ago someone here mentioned that gesture navigation is (becoming?) Android's new default navigation while the 3 button navigation is being phased out and may cause bugs.

                                  Phead
                                  I did try that to no effect.

                                  Thanks for all your suggestions so far. I really appreciate your help.

                                  Best regards

                                    Hi DanielP,

                                    • scrolling:
                                      Too bad that none of our tips could help you.
                                      I don't have this error on my two newer Pixel phones.
                                      Perhaps it only occurs in the firmware version for the Pixel 6 model series.
                                      I hope that the developers will find a solution for this as well.

                                      Currently facing the "Can't install Android Auto" error message in the Playstore. Using a fresh install on the Pixel 8. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

                                        dsdx331
                                        No, absolutely not!
                                        On my two Pixels (P7P & P8P) the energy consumption is in standby: 1 % every 30 to 50 minutes, depending on how much e-mail (or other) notifications I get in that hour.
                                        And at night/sleep time I have my phones in Flight mode and energy saving mode.
                                        My Pixel phones then need 2 % energy in 9 hours with this setting overnight.

                                        Tip: this new GOS version shows more about the battery statistic as before.
                                        Menu path: Settings/Battery, then tap on one of the bars and see fine granulated bars for used hours.
                                        Maybe you can find the big energy consumer that way?

                                            Eagle_Owl strange, today battery usage seems normal, I noticed that I often have blank hours on the battery stats page, is this normal? image

                                                dsdx331
                                                Yes, same here for times where the phone sleeps/has absolutely nothing to do.

                                                And the higher power consumption on your Pixel maybe was optimizing work in the background or apps have checked for backups in background?

                                                Or if you are using social media apps or e-mail and messenger apps, maybe there was a time with more notifications as usual?
                                                Or you use apps w/o a good Push Notification Service, they have to run in background and there were much new messages to load?

                                                These are possibilities…

                                                  Will there be an update for the Pixel 7 Pro radio? I'm only getting 1-2 bars at home vs my Samsung S21 which has 5 full.
                                                  Android Auto is the feature I was waiting for! Thank you!
