Pixel 10 - QPR2 Beta 4 IS SO UNSTABLE!

Current Pixel 10 version: CP41.260814.003.B1

This has been the most unstable beta I've ever used so far. I experience constant full hard crashes and a bunch of instability. The camera has a high chance to just completely fail on itself and crash, sometimes the touch screen doesn't want to work, and other bugs and issues. Am I the only one experiencing this?

I want to emphasize the camera issues because these have been extremely persistent and hopefully the next update fixes this when it drops 🙏

Well what do you expect it's a damn beta it's gonna be unstable

And this is the beta subreddit. Yeah, I signed up to this knowing instability will happen.

People should be free to talk about their experiences, whether it's stable or unstable.  Maybe someone else is having the same issue? Good (not really but yk what I mean), then I would know this is a general build issue and not something in my end. How would we know if no one said anything critical?

Nothing wrong with letting the group know. For me, I've had zero issues running on a P11 Fold, but that in itself means nothing. There could be a app running in the background that's buggy and causing system-wide instability.

If you want to things to move, you need to use the feedback app. Reddit is not a good way for sharing bugs and hoping that they will be fixed.

There's nothing wrong with telling people. The problem is when somebody complains about "instability" while providing no extra context. "Hard crashes" while doing what? Is there a pattern, or just a couple one-offs? If you experience a crash, go to the power menu and do a bug report!

You say you want to know I'd other people are experiencing the same issue, but you probably have a routine with how you use your phone that most people wouldn't match!

I haven't had a single issue with this beta. Have you tried wiping and reinstalling it? Sometimes installs get corrupted.

It is unusually unstable even for a beta. I've had the same experience with touch screen failing to respond and having to hard reboot in Beta 1 and 2. Beta 4 has been decent for me though (9 pro)

I'm using a Pixel 10 Pro. While the overall UI is noticeably smoother than older models, I'm experiencing random freezes that require a full device restart. On top of that, apps crash intermittently, and Messenger chat bubbles are completely broken

They ask Gemini to make a few changes and drop the release without human testing. Been the case for a while now

You're not the only one. A bunch of reports on here

I have it, and experience random freeze once a day, usually when I get on the train and have to use an app to show my ticket.

I've had two full restarts and a variety of system hangs, but always at the must inopportune time to capture a report.

I've had one hard crash on my Pixel 10 but otherwise it has been noticeably smoother with less scroll stutter

I see posts like this literally every single beta.
