How has the beta been for you?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this has been the most bug-free beta that I've ever run on my pixels. The two bugs that I mentioned in a post above seem to have been fixed and I haven't had any problems since.
 
I gave it another try today. Same thing as before: no phone calls out. Incoming calls use wifi calling. Texts work normally. Data only works over WiFi.

I am assuming that for some reason the modem on my 6 Pro is now weaker. It always worked before using other versions of Android. I live in the country. I use straight talk (Verizon towers). No other carrier works at my house.

I need to check this a few miles down the road to see if I can connect in a place with a strong signal.

I will just keep it like this and hope that they fix it. I have another phone and SIM that makes calls so it's not so bad.

Any thoughts?
 
I jumped on the Beta 2 for 12 last year. Had no issues. I will revisit this when the Beta 2 comes out as this is my primary phone.

Seems an issue with Straight Talk according to Reddit posts.
 
I'm having this issue with the beta: not always but often when I unlock my P6P there are no icons or widgets on my home screens. Only the wallpaper and the clock/battery icon and percentage/etc. at the top of the screen are visible. I am able to swipe and see the Google feed but I typically use three screens for icons, folders and widgets and all are blank except for wallpaper and info at the very top of the screen. If I swipe up from the bottom like I'm opening the app drawer my icons and widgets reappear and the phone functions normally. I didn't have this issue on the stable version of Android 12 or the 12 beta. It started when I went from the 12 beta to beta 1 of Android 13. Restarts don't help and I've sent feedback to Google about the issue. It's not a huge pain because I can quickly fix it but it's clearly some sort of bug. It's really the only issue I've had with this beta. Otherwise, it seems to work well. Anyone else having this issue?

Interesting, I have noticed this once so far on my 4A. If it keeps up I will also report but it has not returned since.

I had the same connection issues on an iPhone 13. I know, iPhone not android but a factory reset fixed it completely. If I was in your shoes I might try that. I also set it up as new so as not to bring anything over. Maybe go down the road for a stronger signal first and if that doesn’t work factory reset.

Yep, same for me too, 6 pro EE (T mobile) UK.

Interesting What you are describing is one of the issues I was having on both my Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 4a running A13 Developer Preview Beta 2. It's also one of the issues that seem to be solved on A13B1. I haven't had that problem since installing it.

I'm still on 12 L beta, but even though the opt out and back in to get to 13 beta option is available, I'm going to patiently wait fro the stable 12 release in June. Then it's back to being a non-beta tester for me.
 
Welp, took the plunge. 30 minutes in and my first minor bug report filed. Has to do with Tapatalk and marking threads read.

Another thing I noticed, Google TV reverted back to the old Google Play movies icon in the app drawer.
