Joining Android 11 Beta.

[srgonu]

Just opted in for Android beta and started downloading it on my Pixel 3.

Yep yep I'm running it now my Pixel 3 xl as well. I just got notified that my Google pay is broken and not supported.

If you don't like it can you go back to Android 10?

 

[eric002]

Yes, they list ways to downgrade from 11 beta to Android 10. I believe 9 to 5 Google and Android police have the directions listed there.

Yes...but keep in mind in does a FULL wipe on your phone.

Yes, unfortunately that's exactly what happens. That's why most people don't roll back to the older version of Android. They don't want to risk it.

Actually, according to this article, an option has arrived where no wipe to go back is required.

EDIT: apparently I didn't read far enough. I looks like it does still wipe your data.

Ah, gotcha gotcha I was wondering what that Android flashing tool was all about. Lol. I was reading about it on 9 to 5 Google and Android police today as well!

Pretty stable version of beta except for Google play not working. I feel the UI is more fluid and very responsive. This is nice, but I think all these updates can be feature drop as I used to get really excited for newer versions of Android earlier. Not anymore...

Yeah, I completely agree with you. Everything is super responsive and flew in and I love that so far!

I will seek a bit of clarification: Is it Google PAY or PLAY that does not work? Thanks.

Oh, it's definitely Google pay that doesn't work right now.

Yeah... It's Google pay. Didn't notice auto correct when posted.

 

[eric002]

Haha, that's all good. Yeah, Google will have to fix this issue in the next beta.

Beta 2 rolling out now. Just installed on Pixel 3.

 

[srgonu]

Installed the update. When listing recent apps, option to share is removed. It was handy, without it, it's just one additional step.

 

[eric002]

Okay, just flashed beta 2 on my Pixel 3 XL. So far, the transitions between messenger chat bubbles is smoother. I just hope bubbles overall are more reliable and more stable for messenger in this build. We shall see what else is much more stable and improved!

oh, yeah what the heck? That was a really handy feature. I mean if I didn't want to crop / edit a screenshot, I can just automatically share a screenshot with someone else... I barely ever use a select a text feature.

I also miss being able to access the app drawer from within other apps! I found that to be very handy ... swiping up while in an app, or anywhere really, to get to all your apps was a big reason why I always stuck with the stock launcher.
