I'd like to see that notification, but have it dismissable with an option to have it come up at a specific time period. The snooze option is good, but 2 hours is far too short for my taste since I gave up my phone janitor position.

That it does, and it's from the DP which also may not work for the official release. Hopefully Google will fix this officially in a week or so.

You can hide individual persistent notifications by swiping to the left or right and then unselecting the show icon option. Doesn't work for all notifications but should work for background apps doubling up on things.

If I do that for, say, WhatsApp as per my screenshot, I have then blocked all WhatsApp notifications.

Considering the point of this is to name and shame app developers I'm not sure Google's going to be willing to walk this back. I would be interested to know what it is about WhatsApp that makes it need to run in the background. If you prevent it from running in the background does it both stop the notification and allow the app to work? I don't have any apps that insist on running in the background to check for myself.

Like I see what they're going for but popping up a notification saying an app is running in the background while there is a notification for that app as well is extremely loving stupid

CLAM DOWN posted:That doesn't work. If I do that for, say, WhatsApp as per my screenshot, I have then blocked all WhatsApp notifications. That's true. But for other apps (I'm running a DNS based adblock), it can be useful. Also you can snooze (hide) the Android system notification for up to 2 hours - maybe there's something you can automate with something like Tasker?

I'm getting persistent notifications with light flow. Though I assume that's the purpose with light flow since it needs to be perpetually running in the background.

In other Oreo news, I was just doing the same thing I do every day on my Pixel XL and listening to a little Google Play Music while I worked. When I was done I woke the phone to stop playback but the pause button was unresponsive on the app and I paused the music on the notification and swiped the notification away. The entire phone then became unresponsive. The back and home keys did nothing but the overview button brought up split screen mode and activated Chrome beneath GPM. I dragged that down and away and pushing the overview button again allowed me to swipe away GPM. Unfortunately from that point on, every app had the half of the Chrome windown covering the bottom half of the screen. Even after I used the option to restart Nova in the settings the bottom half of the screen showed my last Chrome window with the icons and app pullup over top of it. It was present inside any app I opened. I would've taken a screenshot but the whole image was covered in personal information, both on the desktop behind Chrome and in the Chrome window itself. I had to restart the phone to get it to work. Kind of a far cry from where my Pixel was a week ago.

I have a lot of other criticisms about the software beyond that bizarre failure (which, it should be noted, I haven't experienced anything like since the early Lollipop days of the Nexus 5). It just doesn't feel finished in any meaningful way. The colored notifications are truly terrible, especially on things which change the lockscreen to cover art since the notifications themselves take their colors from that same cover art allowing them to get lost in the background. Beyond that obvious usability mistake, the visual incongruity and poor legibility of colored notifications should've been enough to see what a bad idea it was. The auto fill providers sounds like a great idea until you realize that Chrome isn't compatible yet which means you can't use it on the web or apps which use web views. I'm not sure how such a thing is allowed to happen but there it is. I was under the impression that notifications were supposed to be more manageable under Oreo with notification channels, dots, snoozing, etc. but to my mind they're more unwieldy and difficult to understand than they were before. I'm not even sure where half of the stuff is managed and you've got priority, dots, lights, sounds, and channels all to deal with and all, as far as I know, in separate places. For an OS which is built around acting on notifications, I feel like this is less than ideal. The new ambient display is terrible. Why yes, definitely take away the ability to read notifications even though I explicitly said I want to be able to see all content on my lockscreen, that way it's entirely useless. Why would I want information when I could have the silhouette of an icon at a quarter of the normal size? I mean, it's not like there are multiple apps using an icon shaped like a chat bubble or anything and of course you can't use color to distinguish between similarly shaped icons. Then of course there's still Google bullshit to deal with like randomly moving elements around like the date in the notification shade or removing the next alarm from the ambient display because gently caress you. Let's change DND again because we have in every release and point release since 6.0. Unlike Lollipop which was buggy and unfinished, this doesn't seem to be introducing a new style to the OS so I'm puzzled as to how so many bad decisions came to be included in it.

I actually like the new ambient display. It's a lot more crisp and readable. I haven't had these notification issues, yet. And I think oreo might have fixed the idle 5ghz wifi keep alive that was killing my battery life. All around, pretty good so far.

Readability is something that's pretty important when there's literally not a single word on the screen. I guess that's not entirely fair, the clock is crisper for what that's worth and yes, the old ambient display really was blurry (no antialiasing) but to claim that it's more readable when there's nothing to read on the screen is disingenuous at best and laugable on its face.

So are all of you that got Oreo on it using the Beta program in some form either coming from using the Beta, or using it just to quickly get Oreo? Has anyone done a clean full image flash and seen if they have all these issues? Or at least done a hard reset since installing the update?
