Personally I feel Beta 5 is as polished and well functioning as to be confidently installed on the primary phone. I don't even feel there's a need for a 5.1 or 6. I'm sure there are some small tweaks that still need to be applied but overall it's an excellent example of the finished product.
I reported the notification dot issue to Google as a bug and they closed my bug report as "non-reproducable" or something similar to that wording. I think that issue is related to Pixel Launcher and the way it works with beta 12. I eventually cleared all data for Pixel Launcher and rebooted. I had to setup my home screens all over again, but notification dots did start working again (most of the time).
I've never had that issue. Maybe because it isn't/wasn't a wide spread issue is why it wasn't reproducable.
Yep that's going to be a big deal with lots of people.... that's one of my most used Android features
One thing I've noticed on my P5 throughout all the betas is that my FB messenger never bubbles. I have everything set for it but it never works. However, on my 3XL also running beta it's been working the whole time.
That’s weird as my google weather shortcut doesn’t work on various launchers I rotate thru. Gets an error when I open it to a blank screen.
Can someone screenshot what this widget looks like? I can't seem to find it in my list.
The widget is in the ataglance app which is broken. When it was working you could download just the weather as a shortcut and put it on your home page as an icon. They need to fix it and then we can do that again. However as I mentioned I had it on my home screen download it as a shortcut and it stopped working when at a glance broke.
