Whatsapp QR code not scanning Pixel 4 XL - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

When I go to web.whatsapp.com and try scanning in the QR code for the Pixel 4 XL, it sits and never scans. Anyone having the same issue?

Works fine here..

worked like a charm here. the one thing that didn't work in whatsapp is selecting a notification tone from within the app, it wouldn't work and kept using the default notification sound. I had to go into settings>apps&notifications and change it there for it to stick.

This happened to me on first try, was extremely blurry looking and wouldn't focus. Closing out and trying again worked.

I am having the same issue. Tried everything I could think of. Anyone found a solution?
Update: I had the Force Dark Mode flag on. Disabled it and it worked fine. All good now.

[Q] Unknown App Flashing When Toggling Wifi

Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.

All Google Now cards are gone except Weather

A couple of days ago, sometime after the latest Google app update, every single Google Now card except for the Weather stopped showing up. I have signed out and signed back in, I have reset my Nexus 6, nothing has worked.
One time, it showed "Places nearby" for a minute, but at the next refresh, that card also disappeared.
What causes a problem like this, and how can it be fixed?
Do you have your location settings turned on?
Yes I do.
Well I'm not sure... Are you on a custom ROM?
Fully stock, just rooted.
I saw several of my cards earlier today. No idea what triggered their re-appearance.
But they're all gone except weather again.
I had this problem, I had to go into my google settings in my desktop browser. Somewhere in there there was a place to disable divices from your account, I disabled several and it started working again after a little bit of time.

Do you mean this page? https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1
No, it was a place where I could deautorize devices.

I'm having trouble finding anything else like that...
I have had no luck with this problem...
I've noticed that I'm getting far fewer cards than normal the last few days. I get weather and "from around the web" and that's it.
I figured Google now has the sniffles.
^lol, sniffles
You think it's just a temporary glitch with the whole service, or what?
I think so, at least in my case. Agenda, local events, stocks, etc are back for me

well they're still not back for me :\
Another week without the cards.
Anybody have any more ideas I can try? This is getting ridiculous...
Sometimes, when my phone suffers a random reboot, my cards will be back at the very start. But the next refresh of Google Now removes them again. Any ideas on that?
Ok no, I've tested it out. ANY reboot of my phone will give me an initial refresh where all my cards are back like it used to be EXCEPT for Weather. Then the very next refresh removes them all and adds back Weather by itself.
Why?
i am getting all of my cards on my nexus 6 but i am not able to see all of them on my LG watch urbane. I can only see the weather card. that's it.
Anyone Android wear user can help me?
Did anyone ever figure this out? none of my cards are showing up. its annoying.

Facial recognition issues anyone?

Anyone else getting face unlock issues? It works fine then suddenly stops working. Says it can't recognize a face. If I try to delete and re program the facial recognition, an error shows up saying the feature isn't working and the phone needs to be restarted. After restart, it works fine again. Happens now once daily.

yes, I am having the same issue though it's perhaps once every three weeks.
I tried clearing the cache and data in the App manager but did nothing.
I am thinking it might be the app that scans for apps and it they are not used within three days it puts them to sleep. But that shouldn't cause it not to even run.
I think this is why Samsung put an option in the settings to auto restart your phone weekly or what not.
Mine acts up once in a while, so just switched back to IRIS. Anyone notice that there is no Preview Screen now? Just text at the top of the screen with instructions. (I like it better without the preview screen, thought it was tacky).
Have had this problem intermittently from day one, on this and another note. It's not so reliable. Fingerprint still the fastest.
Seriously facial recognition is garbage

there is a setting which lets you make a less secure faster facial recognition. I use this with no problem...

DTMF tones not working in calls

Anyone had this problem? The setting is toggled in the menu, it makes a noise on key press, but the call recipient doesn't seem to receive it.
Had this problem with my last handset (P20 Pro), and now realise I have the same issue again.
I will contact Pixel support tomorrow when they're open again, and currently on a slow web chat with Vodafone.
Just tried a few things, appears that they do work on ear piece, but not when on loudspeaker. Vodafone suggests the phone is faulty. I'll speak to Pixel support tomorrow.
If anyone has a few minutes spare, could you see if you have an issue with this?

Has the same issue and came up with the same results. Speakerphone caused it to fail. I think the tone is being heard and picked up at the same time maybe. Switching to ear piece solved it.
Seems a very odd 'bug'. Wonder if there is a fix for it?
Used the Pixel support chat thing today.
I was told to force stop the phone app, uninstall all updates, and clear the cache from the app.
Install update for Phone app from Play Store, reboot phone and test.
Tried it twice and working at the moment.
Might help someone out.
After having this issue for over a year, I finally found a (so far) permanent fix. Update/change your APN settings on the phone. I am a T-Mobile customer so I went to the site to get the correct settings. I added a new one and everything has been going well.
I'd tried every fix I could find via googling, but nothing stuck longer than a day. It's been over a week and I'm still working. I hope this helps someone because this was the worst issue to have in this current video meeting era.

Background app refresh issues

I use Newton mail like I have on every other phone I have used for the last few years and have seen some issues since I got the Find X5 Pro. Initially I was getting no notifications through despite notifications being enabled and all background settings toggled on under settings, I'd have to open the app and when I did it would refresh and the emails would load. Then after a reinstal and restart it started to work.
Today it stopped working again out of the blue and when I checked settings the background refresh toggles had changed to off, I toggled them back on and emails started to come through again.
No idea if any other apps are affected, certainly no key ones are but I have not had issues like this since I used a Huawei.
Anybody else experiened this?
Hey, I've noticed the same issue with Gmail, and Kijiji app. Did you find a solution or work-around?
I toggled the settings back on and it seems ok again. Unsure why they turned off as for the original issue with no notifications even though background refresh was on I reinstalled the app and restarted phone.
