Android 8.1 Issues
1 Recommended AnswerWhen swiping up to unlock from the lock screen, I have to swipe all the way up to the top of the screen. Otherwise, it does not prompt for the pin but just bounces the notifications. I don't remember having to swipe so far before. A short swipe up sometimes works but I have to try 3 or 4 times before it recognizes what I am trying to do.
The mobile data switch in quick settings now has a dialog to confirm whether I actually want to turn off my data. I find this annoying.

Hi everyone,
There were a number of fixes included in the March security update, and many users have been reporting the swiping issues have been addressed.
Please let us know how everything is going after accepting the March security update.
Thanks!

I just received the OTA of 8.1 on my 2016 Pixel XL and I noticed that it killed the always on Ok Google.
If the device is locked and in standby, the keyword will wake up the device but will not unlock it: the pin number will prompt you to type it in to first unlock the phone, only then Assistant will open.
I already tried to reboot, deactivate the always on setting and re-activate it, delete the voice model and train it again, and cancel the Google app data.
Nothing for now fixed it.
I also wanted to check if maybe there was any options related to this under Smart Lock in Settings, but when I got there, it's completely blank (no trusted places, no trusted voice, no trusted BT device, etc...), as you can see: https://imgur.com/LPTxFzP
Just before the 8.1 update, everything was working perfectly fine.
I also read that some other people experienced this bug on 8.1 DP2 (on Nexus 6P).

Is anybody facing any of these problems (blank/empty Smart Lock settings page, and Ok Google not unlocking the phone) ?


I got OTA update.
