Yeah my pixel XL since getting the real release of Oreo is crap beyond belief.
Battery dies when not in use.
Notifications don't come through until doing something on the phone, then I get a bunch at once.
Sound issues
Bluetooth is all wobbly when connecting to my Bose.
Didn't have this on last Dev beta... Sad Panda

My Pixel just came in the mail today and I'm trying to get everything up and running again. Avoiding upgrading to Oreo at the moment based on what people said here.
Couple of things I've noticed so far:
1) The app icons suck
2) The transfer complete fucked my Google Photos by messing up all the dates. Everything is jumbled
I can't find a setting in Nova Launcher to repair the icons and I think I might have to uninstall it so I can have the time displayed in the top right of the screen and also to possibly have the icons not look terrible.

I've been having quite a bit of trouble with my new Pixel that I bought from the Verizon store about a week and a half ago. It was fine before the Oreo update but I figured I'd update it anyway since it's a new phone and I wouldn't miss whatever was on it before.
But I am having serious issues with it after the update. I had to factory reset it because it kept locking up and restarting itself even when nothing was going on. And now I'm having signal issues. I thought it was Verizon or the hurricanes or something. But, nope, took out the SIM card and put it back in and now it's fine. Well, not fine since I still only have 1-2 bars when I used to have 4, but at least it's something. I hope they work out the kinks real soon. This is very problematic.
UPDATE: So, it turns out the poor signal was actually because of Verizon, not Google or the Oreo update. That's a relief to hear when I went to the Verizon store. Hopefully I won't have any more problems with it in the future...

Managed to fix my photos that were messed up with the transfer. Gonna see if I can get the icons fixed now and change the style of of the home page like I wanted.
Does anyone know if there is a way to save some photos from the stock google wallpapers app and have them rotate on the home and/or lock screen?

My Nexus 6P has been shutting down between 20 and 30% battery and I saw a Reddit thread where people were saying if you bought it from Google directly they were doing out of warranty RMAs for the issue and sending out Pixel XLs as the replacement. Tried it yesterday and sure enough, they are sending me a brand new Pixel XL. I hope I like it. The Nexus 6P was my favorite phone I've ever owned and I'm sad to see it go but the battery problem was getting worse.
I'm having that issue in so far that my headphone jack won't seat all the way in the socket anymore. I don't get that last, firm click. So my headphones will quit working as soon as the lightest jostle or tug moves the jack.
Don't have another set of 3.5's around to test if it's the phone's fault or the headset and I've blown out the socket as well as I can with some canned air.

My iPhone 6 battery is dying and the new iPhones didn't impress me so I decided to take this opportunity to try an Android for once. Also, most of the apps I use are Google (gmail, chrome, google photos etc), so why the hell not. I couldn't wait another 2 months for the Pixel 2 so went ahead and bought an internationally unlocked 32GB Pixel for $600 (The cheaper verizon model wouldn't work in my country).
Don't know if anyone has experienced this issue with their Pixel, but I have an XL, and all of a sudden for the last month or so the vibrate has been sounding like there's a fuckin fly stuck in my phone. Anytime my phone vibrates from a phone call, or for a message, or even when it vibrates while I type on it. Not really sure what to do with it, but it does come and go.
I don't think I've upgraded to Oreo yet. And now I'm scared to after reading the thread hahaha. Also, my battery definitely isn't as good as it was, although it's still decent. Recommendations on most efficient way to back up the phone prior to a restore?
