[Porting] Call for testers
-
@Flohack So, after thoroughly using the 2XL, as long as the network hang up does not happen, it runs as long as it did before.
When whatever the hang up is happens, battery drains faster, network says it's on but no data, and screen becomes sluggish to respond to touches. So, it's hogging resources causing a crash. And it seems to affect network/BT only. Everything else seems to keep functioning from what I have observed. It does not cause a complete UI crash, unlike on the N6P. It just slows down, but continues to work.
-
So, after testing for days, the 2Xl does last twentyfour hours with typical day usage. Can't be sure if it could be better because of that occasional hang up that drops BT and WiFi/cell.
I'm wondering if it has all cores going all the time like the N6P, or is it that hang up that sometimes makes the battery seem to drain faster. But it lasts a typical day either way.
-
@Flohack Interesting observation - on my N6P, browser has access to microphone. On P2XL it does not. When browser asks for mic access, and you click yes, nothing happens and UT Tweak doesn't show any access. Any way to fix that?
-
@rocket2nfinity Not sure but that could be a Halium 9 issue. Though, I remember, mic access should not work on any device right now
-
@flohack Tried the MMS patch we were asked to test, works perfectly on N6P. But I cannot get it to work for the Pxl 2XL. Tried several SIM cards and every combination of options (each just worked when I put them into the N6P). At least you can now save info in the APN menu when you could not before, but MMS still does not work.
-
@rocket2nfinity hey everyone, I just joined the UT on P2 XL team. So far so great. Did have MMS issues so came here to find htis is the most recent issue posted. Any forward motion on that? Otherwise I am really enjoying this, thanks for great work and big thanks to the team.

Installed successfully. Awaiting a sim card, but the device is functional after installing from stock android 11.
Can't test calls/sms etc until this afternoon when Bestbuy delivers. Excited though.
-
Also chiming in here to say that I managed to install UT OTA-18 on my Pixel 2 XL without any issues.
I want to thank everyone here who either tested and submitted issue or wrote patches to get this device working. Excited to join the community!
-
@Flohack Thanks for fixing speakerphone during calls!
-
@rocket2nfinity Is it fixed? Oh true that must have landed now
-
I just got UT installed on my P2XL so I can test if needed.
-
@nitro Still need confirmation that BT and hotspot work as they do not on @Flohack device but they do on mine. (So that can be checked off on the what works list). Mine lasts a day, and i've run it for a week, but he still needs someone to confirm it works for them as well.
The only thing I know that does not work is MMS, which seems to be a halium 9 issue, not a P2XL issue.
And then there's hardware acceleration and NFC that I haven't tested. @Flohack how does one test to see if hardware acceleration is working?
-
@rocket2nfinity you basically download a known working MP4 with some higher resolution, classic is Big Buck Bunny 20 seconds snippet maybe, then, while opening in the media-player-app, observe CPU load.
Its a manual test based on opinion, if you think CPU load is okay, we can confirm it.Humm Hotspot is working? NFC is hard to test without an NFC tag
-
@flohack Then mark yes for GPU acceleration. Runs 1080p video smooth, without getting hot and good cpu load.
-
Bluetooth and Hotspot works on my phone. I'm running version 252.
Sorry for the delay. Life gets in the way and out of sight out of mind.
-
Hi, does anybody else have an issue with shutting down taimen? When try to shut it down the display goes black and I can't turn it on again. To get some reaction from the phone I have to press the powerbutton for about 10 seconds. And when it then starts up again the batterylevel is significant lower then before.
I'm on rc with this one aswell -
@tobsend same here.
The phone doesn't restart anymore (except during an update sequence), and it takes a long press (~20 secs) to power the phone on.
Also, bluetooth doesn't work if the WiFi is off, sometimes the keyboard acts up and retracts after a single touch, plus every now and then the phone calls have problems.
In addition, gapless music playback doesn't happen, the battery icon doesn't show when it's charging, at apps get hung up from time to time.
Yet, I am still able to use my 2xl as my daily driver.
-
@laughwithoratme @TobsEnd That is a known problem, that I thought was supposed to be fixed in Dev channel.
The battery indicator, and no offline charging, is also known. A fix for it will come in time.
-
Ok, I might give the dev channel a try.
