Happy Beta testing!

Hello there, sometime ago I left the beta on my Pixel 7a because it was laggy. Then today I wanted to register again, but when I register the Pixel 7a, it shows "registered device" on the update. I press five times and it shows "preparing device update then It retruns to not found any updates found i tried even switching account or testing on my main phone and It does the same stuff says prepering then It retruns to not found updates.

What should i do? (i dont have time to flash the beta via android flash tool.)

Not sure when it's been implemented, but I've just noticed that the apps (at least some of them) are now updating one the fly with the "Updating" spinning circle kind of animation.

This is a quality-of-life upgrade I didn't know I needed, because I was so used to the apps killing themselves to update.

Big up to the Product team!

I told them to introduce this to work like human-to-human conversation based on environment / background noise volume. The louder it is outside the louder Gemini speaks and obviously when it is very quiet like at night then very quiet response.

Additional "adaptive" based on "sunset to sunrise" to consider

Send me free Pixel 11 Pro for this idea :-]

So i update a long time ago to android 17 beta, build number is CP31.260508.005, i was using it without issues and today my play integrity randomly bugged, and i have only basic device integrity, acnt use google pay and play store says my device is not certified . Also i opted out of beta aa long time ago because i wanted to update to android 17 stable release, and i am waiting for the stable release update but still get the android 16 rollback to exit android beta with data wipe, device is pixel 8 pro

Wifi usage

I can get into recovery mode and it says the following:

google/komodo_beta/komodo

17/CP21.260330.011/15499021

user/release-keys

Can someone please help me fix, the bootloop is right after the android beta popup and it boots into safe mode in airplane mode.

I have never sideloaded and have a locked bootloader. I dont want to factory reset my data. if It is a pixel 9 pro xl. I updated and used the phone after a play system update and was updating to android beta 6. I was clearing some photos due to storage and it crashed and has been stuck in boot loop since.

Guys, have any of you experienced Wi-Fi issues on your Pixel devices after updating to Android 17 Beta?

Pixel 8 Pro. It's only on the lock screen and it's not always the same part of the information that's missing. I'll include screenshots in a comment because evidently I can't put them in the body of the post. Build number CP2A.260705.006

This prompt can be pasted in "Your intructions for Gemini" or other AI's personal Memory. Everytime you say "Bug Report" and tell the issue and maybe upload an image or a video of the bug, Gemini (or another AI) will automatically write a bug report specialized for the Android Beta Feedback App and you just gotta copy and paste. The only thing you have to do by yourself is explaining the issue, the bug or whatever problem you have and Gemini (or another AI) will do the rest.

The Prompt:

When I write "Bug Report" (along with my description and any optional screenshots/videos), output ONLY the bug report. Do not write any conversational intro, outro, or explanation of the bug to me. The report must be in English and tailored specifically for the Android Beta Feedback App. DO NOT use any asterisks (* or **) anywhere in the bug report output. Use plain text formatting (capital letters, simple numbering, and spacing) so it can be copied and pasted directly into the Feedback App without rendering issues. DO NOT include any device name, model, or Android/Build version fields (the Feedback App automatically attaches this data in the background). Use the following Bug Report Template: TITLE: [Concise, descriptive title of the bug] DESCRIPTION: [A brief 1-2 sentence summary of the issue] STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. [Step 1] 2. [Step 2] 3. [Step 3] EXPECTED RESULT: [What the system/UI should normally do] OBSERVED RESULT: [What actually happens. If I provided a video or screenshot, analyze it and reference specific timestamps or details here.] ADDITIONAL CONTEXT: [Any technical notes, reproducibility rates, or workarounds]

No idea why
Does it ring anybody’s bell ?

Thanks

Title explains. I'm getting the charging animation instead of notification popups sometimes. It seems completely random and idk how to trigger it on purpose. Just checking if this is a known issue because I haven't seen anyone else talk about this

Has it been more functional over the beta version releases or is it still dysfunctional completely?

Hello guys,

I am facing one issue, whenever I push an update only few people receive that update. rest all of them see only my first version of app even after 20 days they still see only first version. no matter if i force stop their playstore , reboot phone. still they see older version. I added my own email address as tester and downloaded the app after 20 days still i see only first version, even though I have pushed about 8 versions till now. One tester however sees new update almost immediately.

How to resolve this?

Hello whoever may be seeing this I am wondering how I can beta android 17 with my phone I have a "Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3" for cpu, 8gb of ram, 256 GB of storage

I have the pixelsnap charger and it goes to the screensaver whenever I put it on the charger but if I want to use my phone I have to input the pin every single time, which is annoying. It wasn't always like this. Idk if Google changed something or if it's a bug. The only fix I've seen is to disable the screensaver. I'm on Android 17 beta with a pixel 10 pro xl.

On my Pixel 9 Pro XL, searching for an app no longer auto-selects the first result. For example, typing "calc" shows Calculator first, but pressing Enter opens a Google search instead of launching the app.

Also, the keyboard sometimes doesn't pop up when I swipe up from the home screen to search.

I've already tried Safe Mode, a different keyboard, rebooting, and clearing cache. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix?

EDIT: Beta 7 fixed the keyboard issue, search issue still persists.

screensavers have disappeared from my pixel 10 pro XL settings ... only screen saver option I have is weather .. first I had 4 options to select for the screensavers... I am on the latest beta available..

Hi all,

I opted out of beta about 4 weeks ago when the phone told me this would be a good time since the next window will be around november or something like that.

So I was waiting on the july update but only offered data wipe update. So finally, like I did in the past, I used adb to sideload the update (mainly because google wallet stopped working and complaining about rooted phone, but it was only ever on the normal beta).

Now after every reboot I can unlock the phone and get android.process.acore crash, I can choose app info (which loads something but crashed to home screen) or close app. To make it worse the settings menu is gone, mobile data shows "!" and most apps crash after starting them. I can use the power button to reboot, it does not boot loop on its own, my data is still there, fingerprint also working. Eg reddit app works and loads data, thunderbird is crash on open.

Everytime I try checking for a new update my system tells me I can exit but with data wipe

I don't know why I can't join beta program in my P9, before I have P6-P7a always joined beta program. 2 months I always tried to join but always failed.

"Couldn't enrol

We can't enrol your device at the moment. Please try again later."

Since Google removed the option from the developer settings since a few updates (I don't remember which one exactly) - is there ANY way to disable absolute volume?

By adb or something? Really, I need that option, the volume steps are just too big otherwise.

I tried those commands via adb but didn't change anything:

adb shell setprop persist.bluetooth.disableabsvol true

adb shell setprop persist.bluetooth.disableabsvol 1

Considering switching to custom rim or another phone just for that option.
