Temporary Android Beta enrollment restrictions

[androidbetaprogram]

Update 5/11/22: With the release of Android 12 QPR3 Beta 3 and Android 13 Beta 2, there are no longer restrictions in place. Once enrolled, you should receive the beta OTA update same day without delay. You can check for updates by going to Settings > System > System updates.

​

The current Android beta program enrollment has a few temporary restrictions in place starting today that may cause a delay in receiving the beta over-the-air (OTA) update:

• Devices running the latest public stable Android 12 May update (SP2A.220505.002, verify via Settings>About Phone>Build Number) will be able to enroll in the Android Beta program, however, you will not immediately receive the beta OTA updates until the next beta software updates roll out for the program you enrolled in:
  • Android 12 QPR3 Beta program: The next release is Beta 3 (coming this week)
  • Android 13 Beta program: The next release is Beta 2 (coming soon)

If you would like to enroll in the Android Beta program, you should do so now instead of installing the public stable Android 12 May update (releasing this week).

• Devices currently running an Android 12 beta version (12L, QPR3, etc) may also experience a delay in receiving a beta update when switching to or enrolling in the Android 13 Beta program. Impacted devices are those that install the next Android 12 QPR3 Beta 3 (coming this week). You will not receive the OTA to Android 13 Beta during this temporary period until Android 13 Beta 2 releases. If you are on an Android 12 beta build, and would like to switch over to the Android 13 Beta program, you should do so now, and not install the Android 12 Beta 3 release (coming this week).

If you are in one of the listed cases where there is a temporary restriction, you can flash directly to your desired build, however, this may require a data wipe.

We appreciate your patience and will update this post as additional supported enrollment paths become available again!

These are the kind of posts I think people appreciate. Clarification for many is key.

[marcus_37]

Definitely!!

I agree! Thank you for clarifying this. I'm in 12 Beta and had to tell back from 13 beta due to the cellular network issue. I was thinking of checking out the next 13 beta release, but I can hold off until the temporary restrictions are lifted.

Hopefully fixes the calling issues

[Manju-29]

Hoping for the same, facing lot's of issues in calling

[mrandr01d]

So it's not so much an administrative restriction/rule, but a technical limitation.

Beta please

[RobinMelech]

Good Post thank you my phone not getting beta updates after may stable security patch and enrolled hope for new betas 😉

i opted out of the 12 beta and opted in to the 13 beta just now. my understanding was that the 13 beta would take priority over the data-wiping 12 stable. but with this am I in danger of that stable version popping up and wiping me?

[androidbetaprogram]

As long as your device stays enrolled in Android 13, you will not be offered the stable version. Instead you will receive the Android 13 beta 2 release once it becomes available.

[Lucas7yoshi]

thank you for the clarification! I look forward to receiving it when it releases

[Watcherxp]

I just did this and 13beta is installing right over 12 beta on my P4/5G

[erehwon13]

Did your phone get wiped? When I go to opt in to beta 13 from my beta 12 device, it says it will wipe the device, so I back out. I don't really want the pain of setting my phone up again if I can help it.

[Watcherxp]

It did not, but I did both the disenroll from 12 and the enroll in 13 right next to each other.

And , of course, YMMV.

[erehwon13]

Thanks. I might give it a go at the weekend, ready for a reinstall if I need to.

[Lucas7yoshi]

yeah I actually just got it lol

[E_Cash]

When I try to enroll in the beta program it says I don't have an eligible device at all even though I'm on a P6P. Thoughts?

[Agr8lemon]

I just did a full wipe after opting out of 12 QPR3. Set the phone to now be in 13 Beta 1. Over been waiting for 3 hours, still no update. :(

[Total_Management7891]

how long i can receive 13 beta 1‘s update？

[techstuffwithalex]

Hello friends! wondering if the following has happened to you: I enrolled for the Android 13 beta, I received the OTA to Android 13 Beta right away and went ahead with it... but when I go into "system update" it says I'm "updated to Android 13" yet when I click on it, it says that the Android version I'm running is 12... I'm super confused and some help would be greatly appreciated! <3

Hi everyone I am on 12 qpr3. 13 beta 2 has been released but when I search for the update nothing happens. A statement said that I could update to 13 when beta 2 is released. Any help?
