I'm not certain we're talking about the same thing. See here for example screenshots:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76951784&postcount=55

You'd only see the coloured Tints if you use a coloured Wallpaper. Even with the Tint being based off the Wallpaper colour, a dark Wallpaper would return a dark Tint.

To test current status, set solid Blue Wallpaper and Light Theme. What colour are the Tints in:

i) Recents
ii) Notification Shade
iii) Lockscreen
iv) Power Menu
v) Restarting screen.

If it's all dark Tint like the film you'd put on your car windows, Google have done away with it. If it's Blue like a pair of Elton John sunglasses, nothing has changed.
I can confirm the the tint has changed to transparent black all over from DP3. I have raised complaints about the colorful tints on oreo a while ago and thankfully that has changed.

I've been complaining like crazy too. Glad to see someone on the same page as me, and relieved that Google have seen sense.

Thanks for the confirmation. :good:

Yeah sorry, tints, misunderstood. Talking about theme color change with wallpaper. That doesn't work, or maybe I misunderstand their terminology, because it clearly says theme. Whatever... HTC has had full the ming in Android for like 8yrs. Google guess wants to leave it to theme. But. Gives us no options but Substratum which they are breaking.

I see they fixed the always on display information and weather actually works properly. However, I am seeing a notification on the always on display about my commute to work. I have this disabled in my Google feed because traffic literally never changes where I live so its useless information. So I sit here, at work, with a persistent always on display notification about how long is going to take me to get to work.

Quite useful. /s.

Long press the date/weather on your home screen and open Preferences. See if it is disabled there as well.

Long press - home settings - at a glance. Traffic notifications are apparently in here as well as about 3 other places. This seems to have fixed it so thanks for that!

Still doesnt make much sense to use this if you are sitting at work and the notification shows you how long it will take for you to get to work.

I know smart text select in recent screen doesn't work for any device other than the p2/p2xl but my DP4 P2XL can't utilise this feature too. Is there a hidden settings page or something?

it shouldnt be hidden, though some say the option to enable isnt there.

Long press home screen > home settings > suggestions > Overview selection

I can't use google pay on DP4. I upgraded from DP3 (it worked there) and made a factory reset. I'm not rooted or unlocked.

Does anybody have the same issue?

I wish I could try Android P, but I don't like to format the whole phone once I'd get rid of the beta program. Any way to get out of it without factory-resetting the phone?
