My 3XL will do that occasionally but it seems to be around notifications I receive elsewhere that may have just been a little slow to be received on the phone. I mostly see it around my outlook notifications for my work email.

For me part of the charm of one+ was flagship specs for an awesome price.
That appears to have fallen to the wayside.

In all fairness, it is still a good chunk cheaper than the iPhones and Samsungs et al of the world, with what appears to be equal or better specs in some regards (though I don't know how to make sense of all of it, hence me asking others about it).

Though what sticks me a little is that it's $669 USD ($900 CDN), but in Canada we're dinged at a $999 starting price. They also barely touched the price of the 6T, dropping it $40, so there's that, too.

If you head over to XDA developers there should be threads about the one+7 on the site by now. Plenty of early adopters there. I believe most complaints at this time are software related. Early bugs with the camera, that sort of thing.

Anyone else using the Android Q beta? I'm thinking of reverting to Pie it's so bad, I have several apps that will not open at all.

I get it's a Beta and all that, but this has been the worst release I can remember.

I had to revert as well. I can live with buggy, but it rendered a couple of my go-to apps useless. Android Auto being unable to use my cars audio was the deal-breaker.

I've always been a beta user but I will probably wait until it's nearly ready to go this time.

Just downloaded it for my essential phone, too early to tell but seem okay so far. Q as far as I can tell comes from essential so may be slightly different from Google's.

Has anyone played around with Lineage? I did a search in this thread and this is the only post that came up.

Thinking of putting it on my old Nexus 6P and taking it for a spin while they figure out Q.

I use Lineage all the time. Have it on my Note3 and Essential PH-1 right now. For the most part it works but there can be quirks with proprietary Google parts like assistant.

Current phones will only receive updates for another 90 days unless something changes.

Again, not true. American companies can still supply and do business with Huawei for a 90 day extension. That has nothing to do with updates to google apps which will still happen for current Huawei phone users, even after 90 days.

Marques even gives an example of another Chinese company that was drowned for the exact same reason. I don't know what else to say. He's not lying in that video.

From everything I'm reading, I think you're wrong. Google has said that the ban precludes them from doing any business with Huawei, which includes all Google services. The Play Store is included in those services, from what I can tell. In addition, the actual companies who own said apps are unable to sell their services to Huawei users as well. According to the graphic Marques used, that's 19 of the top 20 apps.

This ban effectively forces Huawei to create their own OS and app store, which is a disaster for everyone. Either that or Huawei owners are forced underground, which is really scary.

My guess is that this is merely political posturing and will likely be overturned before the 90 days are up. There's no way that China sits back and watches one of their largest companies get gutted like this. Maybe a ban on Apple products in China? Either that, or we start to see a massive separation between products sold in Asia vs EU/NA, which is bad for consumers.

It's a mess for sure.

Welll faaaaaaaack, I was about to pull the pin & get a Huawei P30 Pro for my birthday. Glad I held off, I guess? Kinda glad I checked this thread, was going to ask if anyone had the HP30P yet, and how they liked it...
