  • Pixel 8 / 8 Pro releases available

[deleted] I don't think that's required.

rover87 The only thing I can't get working is the Pixel Watch 2 that came with my phone. It worked with stock android but after installing GrapheneOS the Watch app crashes in the last setup step with the text "Additional Legal Teams and Disclosures". I click accept and the app crashesh. When I reopen the app I see that the watch is connected but there is a message stating something went wrong and opting to reset the watch to factory.

Make sure play services has the nearby devices permission, and install the "Google" app (the app is literally called Google). Then, go through the setup again and let us know if it doesn't work.

        MrSmith I do hope so too. I successfully flashed my 8 Pro last night and it's working great. The fingerprint sensor is way better than my 7a but secure face unlock would be so welcome.

            Confirming as an Australian on the Telstra network that the current release is working quite well on my Pixel 8 Pro. Only had a few little issues, like the pull down and app navigation gestures not working, and mobile data refusing to autoconnect. Been a good 6 hours since they've resolved though, and the phone is otherwise perfectly fine, including banking apps. Great job, guys.

            EDIT: I don't use biometric security features, so cannot comment on face or fingerprint unlocking. PIN and password are working fine though, as you'd expect.

            Hello, first of all thank you for the great operating system - I am a first time user (Pixel8Pro) and really excited! The version runs very stable and I can rarely find errors. Great job!

            What I noticed:

            NFC switch does not respond - if I press it for a long time and get into the submenu, I can then turn NFC on and off without problems.

            Other buttons (Internet, flight mode) react - but sometimes a bit sluggish.

              I hope so much too.... I really like to have the feature. It should be secure enough in Pixel 8 so that you can implement it and users can decide for themselves if they want to use it.

                I noticed some silent notifications that shouldn't be possible to dismiss by swiping (e.g. Disconnected from always-on VPN) can actually be dismissed. Is this a bug?

                  ope_ape_a For the NFC quick toggle, check whether it actually doesn't respond, or if the toggle just doesn't change.

                  To test this, try disabling it or enabling it through the quick tile, and then check if the toggle worked through the setting.

                  If it has changed, but the quick tile's state hasn't changed, I believe this is due to an upstream AOSP bug and is not specific to 8th gen Pixels.

                      MrSmith
                      Ok I confirm this is a bug as according to the docs foreground services notifications shouldn't be dismissable, but currently are: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications#foreground-service
                      It can be reproduced by using Signal (downloaded from the website) without Play Services installed. The "Background connection enabled" notification can be dismissed.

                      I'm still unsure about the "Disconnected from always-on VPN" notification, as according to the same doc there was a change for some notification that can now be dismissed where it was impossible before: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications#android_140_api_level_34
                      But it seems weird to me that such important notification could be inadvertently cleared, so it may be a bug in this instance too.

                        Another small thing I noticed:

                        I use KISS Launcher in a user profile - when I switch back to the home screen from an app, the icons are just round circles for about a second and then the icons load correctly.

                        I use the default system icons in the KISS Launcher (Icon Pack ADW.Launcher theme).

                        This might sound like a daft question but... IV just received an OTA update to my Pixel 8 with updates set to the stable channel.

                        Does this mean the Pixel 8 release is out of the experimental phase?

                          Graphene1
                          From where did you download pixel 8 release ?
                          staging.grapheneos.org

                          As long as the link are stored in the staging URL, I bet we can't consider it as stable.
                          This is just "stable" experimental builds.

                          Edit : Actually my bad it moved out from staging.

                          https://grapheneos.org/releases#shiba-stable
                          But still tag as experimental in pixel 8 name.

                            So now the latest build from today is available, I have the same behavior I had with P6a A14 build.
                            I probably because hardened kernel is now active ?

                            I have a c**cked sideloaded app that does not work since A14 on P6a and since today on P8.

                            If someone know how I can fix this...
                            The app worked fine before 20231020 build on P8... But never worked on A14 P6a (it was working on A13)
                            Thanks

                            Telegram doesn't seem to work in secondary profiles. Both the APK downloaded directly from telegram and also the FOSS app from neo store. It crashes before I'm able to put in an SMS verification code from my other phone
