Got it, turned on Gesture based navigation. Liking it thus far! Might be the ânew shinyâ effect, but I like how things are looking. Fonts and icons and that. Even getting on with the gesture navigation.
Got the update last night and am gutted - itâs completely broken my Pixel 3 XL! 
No notifications, no mobile data, no ambient display, gestures not working properly⌠I could go on. It clearly hasnât installed correctly on my phone. Spoken to Google and Iâm going to have to try a factory reset this evening. If that doesnât sort it theyâll fix it under warranty.
Iâve got a Samsung S9, probably wonât get the update till Feb/March next year. It seems they are getting slightly quicker since Project Treble was released, but still pretty poor really 
Donât get these issues with an iPhone.

If youâre confident enough you can reflash the phone yourself that will almost certainly fix it if the reset doesnât.
It will save you downtime to try yourself because when I had a pixel replacement they made me send it off to their centre in Poland which took five days with UPS then that day they shipped me a brand new one from the UK next day delivery, but otherwise on the upside you get a brand new (at least I did) phone with a new battery etc which is a huge plus if your phone is a year old.
I know they can do a thing where they send you a new phone first and authorise the amount on your card and then when they receive the broken one they release the money, try see if they will do that for you to save you alot of time.
Donât know why Iâm replying but a simple Google search would dispel that.

Need the Beta release for the One Plus 6 
I mean, this is factually incorrect, ask anyone thatâs ever worked in a phone store or an Apple store.

Yeah, Iâm going to manually sideloading the OTA update file this evening. Hopefully I can avoid a factory reset

o2 :oldman:
Well, I couldnât sideload it as it wouldnât let me turn on USB debugging (another issue)! In the end I factory reset it and everything is working fine, so Iâm busy setting my phone up again

Annoying that you had to factory reset, but at least you didnât have to send it off for a warranty replacement!

Yeah, thatâs the main thing! Iâm restoring from a backup, so it shouldnât be too painful. That said, not all apps backup and restore their data properly through Googleâs built-in backup facility.

I personally found restores pretty seamless even widgets were back where they were supposed to be.
But I guess the only app that I really use which is not cloud based is WhatsApp.
Most of my data was restored. The odd app had to be set up from scratch and Iâve found 3 or 4 apps that donât seem to be compatible with 10 yet.

Which apps? Iâve not noticed any myself.

Wealthify is force closing when I try to open it, as is the app I use to interact with my GP surgery (Evergreen). The LG TV app wonât connect to my TV. Iâve also lost all my progress and high scores from one of my favourite games that Iâve had installed for years!
âŚand unsurprisingly Barclaycard. Standard Life also doesnât work
