Android 12 beta now available.

I'm thinking the missing cell signal indicator in the status bar is a thing and not a bug. When I walk out of range of my Wi-Fi it reappears and the Wi-Fi disappears. It also says LTE which it never did before. In any case I kind of like it

Yeah, I don't think it's a bug. I think it's a design language feature with an Android 12. It will definitely Take getting used to, that's for sure!

Curious to hear how Beta 2 works for everyone. I'm not sure if I'm gonna jump in at 2 or wait for 3. Decisions, decisions. I read that Google is doing 8 releases, which I believe count the developer previews before beta.

I mean so far so good for me! No issues on my Pixel 5. Still playing around with everything though.

Working great on my 4a. No problems at all and really smooth. All the apps I use also work fine which they didn’t work so well in android 11 betas for awhile so happy about that.

Yep yep yep I second that notion.. I'm Pixel 5, every app smooth runs great performance wise no leg whatsoever.

Hmm, you sound very convincing. Been playing with it on my 3xl but not as extensively as if it was on my daily P5. Debating on jumping in on that one.

Hehehe Thanks. You should definitely go for it though. In my opinion, very smooth very fluid very bouncy, very performance oriented. And the new auto-theme engine on the OS for the UI is interesting. Takes a little bit getting used to that's for sure. Plus the new shortcut quick tuggles are very different as well.

It seems to be safe enough to use without worry.

Pretty smooth so far. As stated above, the apps I use the most have no problems, Android auto works fine, no lag, freezes or crashes.

Exactly, couldn't have said any better myself. Everything works without a hiccup.

You all convinced me. Downloading Beta 2 now on my 4XL.

Wow, this is a big one!

Hehe There you go!

Well this sucks. Looks like a factory reset for me. GMail crashes, Calendar crashes, Amazon crashes, my bank app crashes, lots of apps I need every day keep crashing. Bummer. I tried, guess it's time to reset back to 11

Before you do that, have you seen this? I hear it helps with some of the crashing.

I was just reading that and tried disabling Webview. No difference, about the only things working for me are Tapatalk, Phone, Messages and my alarm system app. Don't have time to reset tonight, so that's on the agenda for right after work tomorrow
