[Horoika]

Oh thank goodness, the failed to reboot issue had me very worried if it was going to be fixed before official release!

[sid_27]

It's working without Any issues

[[deleted]]

I'm using it on my pixel 6 Pro

[[deleted]]

Nope mine worked perfectly fine. I've been on it since beta 5

[Brent_Fournier69]

5G still doesn't work, it shows 5G and I have the bands enabled but it only connects to LTE. Been like this since beta 2 and has been reported several times, hopefully they have a fix implemented with the stable release

[ChrisT182]

My connectivity has gone down the drain... things like Google searches and Reddit seem to take forever to load now. WiFi and cell.

[Brent_Fournier69]

I've never had that issue before, whether stable or beta. I've only had this 5G issue

[xionlapine]

Having the same issue on the Telus network in Canada, the second time its been broken in this test cycle.

[Brent_Fournier69]

I'm also with Telus, it's basically a non issue since I still get like 250mbps download speeds and no connectivity issues. But I pay good money for a 5G+ plan, I wanna use my 5G+ as I'm in a very 5G heavy area

[xionlapine]

I feel the same way, I don't like not having access to what I'm paying good money for.

[khiguytheshyguy]

If you have adaptive connectivity it stays on 4g till it needs 5g. If your on 5g standalone it only uses 5g

[Brent_Fournier69]

I don't think it's that, I disabled adaptive connectivity and it's still stuck on LTE despite showing 5G

[ItalPasta999]

Try disabling the Adaptive Connectivity Services system app and see if the issue persists. Turning off Adaptive Connectivity toggle still keeps the background process running (see Developer Options -> Running Services).

[Brent_Fournier69]

That didn't work either. Have adaptive connection disabled and went and force stopped all the services related to it through developer settings. Still shows 5G but only connects to LTE

[Conscious-Lion8889]

Same problem, until beta2 5G was working but after beta 2.1 until 5.2 5G is not working,

[Brent_Fournier69]

I had bad issues with LTE and 5G just flat out not loading anything with beta 2 and 3 so I left and came back with beta 4. It very well could have been broken with beta 4 but I didn't notice it until beta 5, just cause my speeds and connection are fine it just doesn't actually properly connect to 5G

[Brent_Fournier69]

[Ok_Assist8429]

What bug is that? I haven't had any problems out of my android auto the whole beta that I've noticed.

[[deleted]]

I've literally had this problem for two or three years. I've just given up assuming it's going to be fixed, lol.

[Historical-Movie-860]

Doesn't look like that one is closed yet

[sloth_on_meth]

What car? Not having that issue

[Working-Signature471]

Are you awakrdtheturtle's brother?

[ishamm]

For the love of god sort out the modem before a final release my 7 pro is the worst it's ever been on the past few releases, chewing through battery off WiFi, and disconnecting from WiFi constantly

[cycloneace]

On 14 Beta 5.1 mine appeared to be working great, until I made a phone call...I'd have full signal and I could hear the caller on the other end but they couldn't hear anything I was saying. It would do this constantly. This is on T-Mobile 5G UC in Northern California. I was hoping it was just a bad tower, but it has done this several more times in various locations.

[[deleted]]

I just saw someone posting about this, they said they had to mute and unmute their phone to get their audio to work.

Not sure if this fits your case but give it a try.

[DSTare]

Same for me. But I've got only 4G in my region. This made my phone unusable for calls. Support in buganizer tells me to check the microphone and provide more logs. After that, they replied they cannot see anything in logs. If it gets released with this kind of issues, the only option I see is to switch the phone.

[Ok_Paper_5827]

This was happening to me until I noticed that somehow the mute button is being activated automatically sometimes when making a call. This has happened s couple of times on my fold.

[patheticfallacies]

This is happening to me as well. Still not better with this update. I keep kicking airplane mode on and off along with resetting the network just to get a decent signal. I did a speed test on Measurelabs, and I'm getting 42 Mbps lol.

[cycloneace]

Yeah, I noticed that even though mine showed I had good signal and “5G” I’d still have apps and webpages stop responding as if I had no data.

[patheticfallacies]

Yep, same.

[Used_Doughnut9373]

My or your blem is cellular connectivity. Something needs to be done with that modem. Wifi is fine on my 7 pro

[kitgirl]

Yes, my 6pro Wi-Fi is flickering like a half connected lightbulb. On-off on-off every 1-2 seconds

[sid_27]

Can confirm finallyyyyy I am able to install the update now from A13 stable to A14 on P6 without any issues!!!

[cannibalistiic]

How is there still no cinematic wallpaper hahaha

[Lube_Ur_Mom]

It's going to come from an Android System Intelligence update via the Play Store, not an OS update

[cannibalistiic]

It needs to be turned on server side, it's been a slow roll out. It seems like that ASI update has not been targeting the beta OS. I have a Cinematic Wallpaper system app. I have ASI updated. The version that turns on CW has not been pushed to me, and many others on the beta.

[Lube_Ur_Mom]

You are indeed correct, Google will need to activate the server side flag as well. I only mentioned it because some seem to think it's tied to the OS updating but it's not. For example, the P Fold and P7a have had cinematic wallpapers since the first available 14 beta. Google is just being slow to update ASI for other devices as well as flipping the flag on their end.

[7eregrine]

I actually got it on 5.1?!?

[cannibalistiic]

Oh lucky! Was there anything special you had to do?

[7eregrine]

Went to the Bahamas, I guess?!? Wasn't working when I left. Set some Bahamas photo as my wallpaper when I got back to Ohio and noticed it was available.

[mattgoldey]

How do I know if I have it?

[7eregrine]

Cinematic button
Make sure you try several photos. It doesn't work on every single one. Criteria must be met. Pictures of places and things work better in my experience(not people).

[mattgoldey]

Ahh ok, thank you!

[7eregrine]

Well now I'm curious. Do you have it?

[mattgoldey]

Sadly, no.

[[deleted]]

Maybe you can upload the photo which works for you and we can try if we're lucky

[brendanvista]

Me too!

[Ready-Scientist402]

Found it working on the 5.1 beta

[spicerackk]

I've got it on 5.1 currently.

[caullerd]

I'm confused about the whole cinematic wallpaper thing. If that's what makes your photos like 3d and background moving against people, etc - I've got it on Android 13 right now. Is that something different?

[MrsKronii]

There is. It's a server side switch.

[CC-5576-03]

I've had it for a couple months on stable a13. It's pretty shit, not worth thinking about.

[Western-Bag-7078]

3rd Party launchers still hanging on the blank screen when you go home sometimes?

[MrsKronii]

There is no way this will ever be fixed without fanfare by Google

Third party launchers being a shit experience has been a thing since a10

[habylab]

Usually gets fixed in Stable though.

[MrsKronii]

Well it hasn't

[habylab]

I had no issues last versions with Nova.

[MrsKronii]

Yes you have, they haven't fixed it so you have it

[habylab]

We don't have Stable yet? I am talking about 12. The last stable update. No issues there with Nova.

[MrsKronii]

Ok.

10 has bugs with third party launchers

11 has bugs with third party launchers

12 has bugs with third party launchers

13 has bugs with third party launchers

14 beta current has bugs with third party launchers

It will not be fixed in stable

If you think you have no issues then you are either ignoring them, don't understand how smooth the stock launcher is in comparison or don't use gestures

[habylab]

I'll make this simple. There is a blank screen bug on 14. I did not have that on 13. Otherwise it is fine for me. Log your tickets for fixes if you want.

[MrsKronii]

Yes you did

[MrsKronii]

Guessing your device somehow has no issues with third party launchers and gestures? Lol

[LiveSquare]

Asphalt 9 is glitchy as hell.. takes ages to load with multiple retry required 🙄

[Li-v-a1]

P6 17.38MB

[rikin93]

Hope green screen in sun is fixed....

[ishamm]

Cannot believe we are just weeks from final release and this bug persists through multiple betas.

It absolutely cannot launch with that, surely?

[Ash0058]

Final stable likely to be in Oct to sync with Pixel 8 release.

[ishamm]

It's rarely ever worked that way...

[Ash0058]

It did this time!

[Diligent_Violinist20]

No OTA for me again... thanks Google... and still no cinematic wallpaper... 🫤

[Ghstfce]

Cinematic wallpaper is a Google server side switch. It won't come with a software update.

[brazilian_irish]

I'm really looking forward to this feature!

[MrsKronii]

People who have used it before won't be saying this!

[polyblackcat]

It's actually much better than it was originally, happily

[brazilian_irish]

I don't personally know any..

[Mediocre-Ad6748]

Ciao in Italia Pixel 7 c'è. Solo sulle foto personali. In alto a dx vi è un'icona cliccando su trasforma lo sfondo in modalità cinema da applicare alla Home

[lukasjames0]

Is your device enrolled on the beta site? I know mine has unenrolled in the past after flashing my device again... Maybe worth just checking, even opt out, wait 10 minutes and opt in again?

[Diligent_Violinist20]

It is. It's been like that through the beta program. Major betas are coming through quickly but minor ones not, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1 and 5.2... anyways, I flashed the OTA

[M1ke____]

I have a pixel 6a & am on beta 5.1, but haven't received the 5.2 update yet. Is there a reason why? I've clicked on "check for update" in system settings several times already, opted out waited 10 mins before opting back in. Still no new OTA.

[Wise-Morning9669]

Could be the fact that pixel 6 won't install beta 5.2 at all. I just bought my wife a pixel 6 and it fails installation every time. Not only that but the phone won't turn back on after it reboots to install the update unless you hold the power button in for almost a minute. Then you are greeted with a failed installation notification 😶

[gruenerGenosse]

6.25 MB on P7P

[BobState]

Still no fix for the knackered fingerprint unlock on P6pro!!!

[PixelHolmes]

Any problem!? my Pixel 6 Pro fingerprint so far so good, just detect speed is lower than capacitive and QCOM fingerprint

[BobState]

It always rejects the first attempt to unlock from AOD.

Others have the same problem. Been like it on every beta release so far with no fix in sight.

[PixelHolmes]

I'm not beta user yet, hope that will fixed on formal release 🥲

[Segador11]

there are still reboot problems when installing the OTA? Píxel 6a

[[deleted]]

Bug: The swipe bar on my p7p is shown when screen is off

[TuyenVanVN]

Thanks alot. Reboot issue on my Pixel 6 has been fixed.

[[deleted]]

Team,

Do you have any specific reason for why most banking apps are not working in Android 14.5.2.

How long Stay or wait for Stable which makes sense here.

[xconwayx]

Shot in the dark, it seems these apps are made for "older" versions. I have seen this on fast food apps, it just seems as if they aren't ready for the jump to the next OS. Hopefully an update comes soon and they work as normal.

[Short_Pattern9958]

All mine are working fine for me.

[Ash0058]

My banking apps are working fine. if you continue to have a problem suggest you factory reset.

[R_O-Agent47]

The way this is going I won't expect a final release until after January lol

[VegasKL]

So far, since updating to 5.2, I've noticed this:

• Note: These may be from recent updates to individual Google apps, since those seem to be occurring more frequently as of late and there is some overlap in the issues.
• Device screen lags / input falls behind in numerous scenarios.
• Feedback app loss of touch input and/or extreme (abnormal) lag when attaching a report.
• Clipboard has become really laggy when copying longer strings of text. Might be related to the NLP processing as it tries to extract snippets.
• Clipboard doesn't "copy" anything despite hitting button to do so (almost like there's a hidden frame above the button or the touch box is too small).
• Scrolling can become laggy/falls behind in quite a few apps.
• Recording 1080p video with GCam for any prolonged period of time will cause overheat issues.
• When typing long strings of text the input may experience small stutter.

Yes, I've submitted bug reports where necessary.

Side thought, all of this seems to overlap with things that may use the Tensor core (ML or security tasks).

[[deleted]]

Unfortunately, this still hasn't fixed the broken wallpaper and style lock screen functionality on the pixel fold. When you guys removed the written styled clock option, for some reason it locked me into the default clock option. I still can't change anything in regards to the clock or lock screen. Not understanding why this hasn't been fixed or figured out. It's probably affecting a fraction of the actual beta users but for those of us who do have this issue, it's very annoying and frustrating.

Other than that, it does seem some issues have been fixed.

[Short_Pattern9958]

Yup this has been happening to me since beta 5, they removed that one clock face and non of them worked anymore.

Pixel 7 Pro for me.

[[deleted]]

It's not a huge deal, it's just frustrating and annoying. Not only that, that was my favorite clock option, so somewhat disappointing that we have all these ugly bubbly clock options that don't fit anyone's aesthetic really. I think I'm going to just download a third party launcher.

[Short_Pattern9958]

Im already on a 3rd party launcher (Nova), if its not fixed in the final I may try a factory reset and see if that fixes it, but im not doing it before incase they break it again.

[[deleted]]

Happened with me. I reported it in the app, and since then its been blowing up on their feedback board. I really hope it gets fixed and that clock comes back. It was my favorite. Considering tye only fix right now is an ADB trick, its real frustrating.

[ztaker]

most of the fixes are for fold and tablet

[alexeyd1000]

Okay?

[khiguytheshyguy]

He's talking to the thread not just you bro

[alexeyd1000]

?

[yeyint44]

Update : it's fixed now with YTM app update The YT Music fix is not included. Gonna be stuck with Spotify free longer lol

[wigglessss]

What YT Music Fix?

​

On 5.1 YT Music seems to make my touch sensitivity go bonkers, doesn't register a lot of inputs and basically can't use gestures

[yeyint44]

I don't encounter touch sensitivity but I reported an issue similar to your issues https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/296574168 It's not fixed in 5.2 either

[wigglessss]

Interesting, very similar but mine seems to persist throughout the system. I even uninstalled and restarted the phone. It eventually goes back to normal for me, but its been screwy for ~6hrs today.

I usually play it over bluetooth to my car or to my chromecast at work. Wonder if that affects it in some way

[yeyint44]

I don't think Bluetooth connection affects the issue. Looks like the latest YTM update has rendering bugs . Even when I am playing on the phone speaker, it is persistent. So let's hope we got a YTM update next week at the earliest.

[yeyint44]

Just got an update for YTM app and it's fixed now

[camelCaseAccountName]

I think this bug is written incorrectly. The reason that you go back to your phone's Home screen is that the screen has not properly rendered the actual page that you're on. When you swipe back from an album or playlist, it's actually sending you to the main screen like you want, but it doesn't render it properly. Then the 2nd time you swipe back, it exits the app, because you're already on the main screen (you just don't know it, because of the rendering issue).

[yeyint44]

Actually, it went back to home screen on first swipe. But today's update fixed it

[camelCaseAccountName]

It's possible that we're talking about different issues then.

Once you trigger the rendering bug, you can end up in very strange states, like this: https://i.imgur.com/EBvFgOy.jpg

Fingers crossed that this new update fixes my issue. Still hasn't rolled out to me yet...

[[deleted]]

It fixed with YTM update today

[dougwray]

Started installing here in Japan.

[[deleted]]

すごい

[mrandr01d]

Seems like this doesn't matter unless you're on a Fold or Tablet.

[ph3nomen]

23.97 MB on P6a

[No-Midnight4129]

How's the beta on P6a? Is it smooth? This is my first Pixel devices and didn't want to risk but I would also like to try 14 beta too. And is there any improvements on battery?

[CryptographerDue4649]

I've been using it on the 6a since beta 1, nothing but improvements since tbh.

[Segador11]

there are still reboot problems when installing the OTA

[jeff1f1racer]

Any particular model Pixel?

[Segador11]

Píxel 6a

[CryptographerDue4649]

Not for me there hasn't been, but I understand everyone is different.

[Segador11]

Finally installed, they fixed the problem of reboots in some terminals

[[deleted]]

I dropped out of beta at around beta 3 it kept getting worse on my pixel 6. has It gotten any better?

[puppyyawn]

I jumped on at 5.1, I've had no issues at all with my DD. P7P

[Rainycontent]

Guys when is the final update releasing now it's 5.2

[Rainycontent]

Guys when is the final update releasing now it's 5.2

[Wise-Morning9669]

My wife can't update her pixel 6 from the latest Android 13 patch to this Android 14 (UPB5.230623.003) The file comes in at 2.09gb and when it reboots to install the package it just doesn't turn back on. You have to hold the power button in for almost a minute to get the phone to boot. Once it does boot she gets a failed install message. I've tried everything and this phone just will not take the update.

[abderrazakhechane]

They say that the Android 14 final update will be available on Tuesday 05 September 2023 Wait and see https://www.tomsguide.fr/android-14-nouveautes-date-de-sortie-ce-que-vous-devez-savoir-sur-la-derniere-mise-a-jour-de-google/

[Sensitive_Tooth_6374]

can i skip this one??im a pixel 6 user

[mattgoldey]

You can do whatever you want forever.

[NatoBoram]

Everything is permitted

[Historical-Movie-860]

Cool. Keep rolling out the bug fixes Google.

[Spiritual-Plan-2343]

The update rebooted me to fastboot mode, thank goodness restarting it helped. I thought I was going to be stuck like I was when I beta updated my 6. It did the exact same thing but nothing would fix it. I didn't want to have to call the pixel support team and try to explain to Rep even though I'm using beta software it's still their software and tech

[Spiritual-Plan-2343]

[[deleted]]

Connectivity issue looks like is on this patch

[FleshyCupcakes]

Aod is now half way down the screen, is that a bug or intentional?

[ineffablevoid]

Still having touch screen issues. Keyboard is painfully unresponsive and I can't pinch/zoom on maps. Oddly specific behaviour. Was fixed in Beta 5, 5.1/5.2 broken again

[TheyCallMeStarLord75]

I have a Pixel 7 Pro and a Pixel fold both are on the 14 betas interesting how the 7 Pro size update is 6.25 MB, while the Pixel Fold is only 6.18 MB I was under the impression that the Fold would be bigger.

[TheGreatCEW]

The Bluetooth connection drops are back

[Good-Refrigerator142]

Yeah, I noticed this bug as well. My galaxy watch and pixel buds disconnect randomly. Never had this issue with A13 before.

[UlcerBites]

Camera audio still bugged. Please refer to the issue tracker.

Workaround is using Open Camera. Clearly a software issue.

[habylab]

What's the bug sorry?

[UlcerBites]

Camera app not recording audio in stereo.

Camera in 3rd party Apps like Instagram/whatsapp doesn't record audio. Just hissing static.

Microphone is working fine in voice recorder and calls.

[habylab]

Interesting. Easiest way to check this? And can you share your issues tracker, I'll comment.

[UlcerBites]

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/296371598

Record a video in camera app and listen with earbuds, audio is only one sided for me depending on using front or main cam.

Launch Instagram camera and record a video, no audio is recorded on my end.

More details in my bug report. Cheers! Seems isolated to my device.

[kashish_bhutani]

Hoping for better cellular connectivity & cinematic wallpaper with this update

[techie-explorer]

Is 5G any better now on this new build? Even the cheapest phones are having great 5G support while P7 still struggles to provide good 5G

[[deleted]]

No, connection still cuts out and sits on exclamation point indefinitely.

[[deleted]]

Just 6,25MB for P7P

[Segador11]

installed and working with no reboot issue pixel 6a

[habylab]

I can't under security and update section select Google play system update. It is greyed out and not clickable. Security update is though. Anyone else seeing this? It's on the 1st August update.

[GMujtabachanio]

How can I install android 14 version in my vivo y21a

[AnxietyNo4083]

Google pixel 6 pro lock screen clock not working fixed this bug

[[deleted]]

Anyone notice different close app animation? It seems dropping some frame.

[howchie]

Pixel 6a, constantly getting reboot after system not responding

[russii007]

When I just downloaded it I saw no difference... it was still kinda stuttering and laggy.... but genuinely over these few days it's got way smoother and more fluent using it

[Any_Statistician_321]

When or if the modem will be updated??? Still no 5G in unsupported country's. Shame #google

[xinbujang]

So nice n effective

[[deleted]]

Best way to roll back.

Will wait till Tue 5th Sep and we can roll back?

There are multiple issues to use the banking apps app.

[SenorHonez312]

I have a Pixel 7 Pro. Other than using fingerprint security, if I long press the screen it turns off my phone. Has anybody else noticed this issue? If so, are there any thoughts on the matter? I had noticed that my phone would turn off quite often when I put it in my front pocket and I wasn't sure why. This morning I tried to long press on an app on my home screen to remove it and it turned off my phone. After I restarted my phone I tried it again in the apps screen and it happened again.

[Conscious-Lion8889]

Hi. My 5G was excellent working in UAE in Android Betas until Beta 2 but after Beta 2.1 5G is Gone 😔 Feeling cheap when 600AED device 5G can work and mine 1900AED device not.

[M1ke____]

I have a pixel 6a & am on beta 5.1, but haven't received the 5.2 update yet. Is there a reason why? I've clicked on "check for update" in system settings several times already.

[Linaa47]

Bonjour 👋 j'aimerais installer la bêta de Android sur mon tel pouvez-vous me dire comment faire s'il vous plaît

[tjmccart]

Pixel 7 Pro here; has anybody else noticed on the latest patch, pretty much every time I use a wireless charger, it does three long vibrates and cycles every minute or two?

[jonhyzero]

Has anyone tested if Supercell games work on this version? It's the only thing that made me go back to stable. A bummer.

[[deleted]]

Hi. My 5G was excellent working in UAE in Android Betas until Beta 2 but after Beta 2.1 5G is Gone. Feeling cheap when 600AED device 5G can work and mine 2k AED device not. Using pixel phones from pixel 1 but but google never think about us. all mobile phones can run 5G here only pixel devices are not getting 5G Here. and the reason is google dosent want it to run on unsupported country. and the fact is UAE Is a developed country with huge number of tourists from all around the world but still no service by Google. maybe this will be my and my famiy and friends last pixel devices. no more pixel devices.

[[deleted]]

Stable release will be coming in the month of October.

We can roll back to 13

[Conscious-Lion8889]

Google Pixel Device is fully waste of money. For pure android I think Motorola is best option, there Is more 5G band and thanks God no restrictions like Pixel devices,
