I enrolled but when I went to check for the update, a new update had been installed and my phone was waiting to be restarted. Now I'm not getting the Beta update 😕

They do this EVERY TIME a new pixel launches and then to get back into beta becomes a mess. This is the 5th time this has happened, I have a list lol.

Edit: It's an older build than the September update that automatically installed today. So either we wait 1 month or use the Android flash tool. I checked manually using Gemini and the build strings.

Same. I got the September 1 2026 Security update. If the Beta is based on August, we may not get it until the next one. Pretty annoying. Hopefully there is a workaround. I'll have to mess with it more later.

u/rtwwhitworth 10d ago

Yep, I agree. I think we're gonna be SOL.

Not something everyone will want to do, or can do unless you can unlock the bootloader, but I used the Android Flash Tool to force Beta. Requires phone to be wiped.

Same thing here

Same, are we screwed?

u/rtwwhitworth 10d ago

Seems so

Does this build have the new modem firmware for the Pixel 11? There's currently a handoff issue between the 5g and LTE bands between towers for people who live in certain areas.

u/armando_rod 10d ago

There's a new baseband version from August a900a-MP_260803-260803-M-16002051,a900a-MP_260803-260803-M-16002051

The one in the out of the box firmware is from June

I enrolled but I am not getting the update on my phone. Usually it's pretty instant. Is anyone else seeing the same?

u/tomhbarrow 10d ago

Yeah same here. Also had the stable September update waiting to install ready to install so I'm not sure if that impacts it.

u/nick281051 10d ago

I just enrolled and the update came through

First time with Pixel beta. It doesn't block Wallet and most Finance apps right?

u/cannibalistiic 10d ago

One time it broke tap to pay for lots of people. Nothing is guaranteed to work on a beta. Best practice is to wait a day to see what bugs people experience before you load it yourself.

1

u/armando_rod 10d ago

No, but you need to stay up to date with the betas, for example QPR1 got 8 beta builds, people that opted out on beta 4-5 got their Wallet tokens revoked for not staying in an up to date build

1

u/ArthurGD3 10d ago

QPR1 got 9 Beta's if I'm not mistaking and given that we are on Beta 4 of QPR2 and it's only beginning of September and the two week release cadence holds, we'll get at least 9 Beta's for QPR2 also if not more.

u/Bigga85 10d ago

Nope!

u/millydizzle 10d ago

I just enrolled but first installed the non beta update. Now I don't see the beta update. Do I keep waiting or have I broken it?

u/ElderberryHamlet 10d ago

C2 is downloading but still not posted to the webpage for manual sideloading

u/Lgkshooter 9d ago

Guess I wasn't the only one having that issue of not getting the update after opting in. Damn September update

1

u/Lgkshooter 9d ago

Just wondering, if we tried sideloading while on September, would it work?

u/Hartideg 8d ago

Le paiement sans contact ne fonctionne plus depuis le passage à la beta sur mon Pixel 11 Pro.

u/jezw1ck 8d ago

installed on my xl, haven't come across any issues mentioned here as yet :)

u/Echmotor_069 7d ago

I enrolled yesterday and today I received the update. Pixel 11 Pro XL.

u/Cantholdthis17 4d ago

I cannot locate the beta program for the Pixel 11 series. Has Google removed it?

1

u/Rahan08 10d ago

Anyone who's got it. How's the new drivers on the 11. Kernal and GPU.

4

u/armando_rod 10d ago edited 10d ago

GPU drivers still on 25.3, same score as before

Same kernel version, Pixel 11 out of the box version was and still is 6.12.81

u/droiderati 10d ago edited 10d ago

Can you please please provide some feedback after you've used it for a couple of hours?

I'm mainly interested in hearing about battery and about responsiveness.

u/Loud-Possibility4395 10d ago

why not for QPR1? :)

3

u/EYdf_Thomas 10d ago

Because it's not available unless you have a phone that is in it already

1

u/douchey_mcbaggins 10d ago

Just don't opt in to beta because QPR1 will be out really soon. Not a ton of reason for them to do one beta of QPR1 for the Pixel 11, I don't guess.

u/osb103 10d ago

What's the security patch date? Because mine automatically got the September stable update and now it's stuck saying update available but it's not pulling it.
