[fwn]

We shall see if most of the bugs are gone and it is stable but it promises to be.

Good looking out. I checked a half hour ago and nothing there. Downloading now.

Thanks for the heads up! Installing now.

Thanks for the heads-up! I will install as soon as I get home later (can't use my phone at work).

Trying to hold off to hear how stable it is before I jump back in.

 

[Scott337]

I'm in. So far so good, no issues and have not noticed anything new or different.

Mine's running well. We're able to change the clock on the lock screen along with its color now. And change the shortcuts, although maybe we could do that before...not sure.

Check out the new lockscreen options under wallpaper. Pretty cool!

I have been wearing smart watches for years and have that set as a trusted device, so I don't really have a lock screen. I did notice the new wallpaper picker last night after posting my previous message. That's definitely different.

Restarted my phone just now and it went into fastboot. Hit the power button and it started up just fine. I never like seeing that screen though.

That can't be good

I've restarted a few times since the install yesterday and this was the first time it happened. It only happened once on the previous beta also. I would take it with a grain of salt and not worry but I figured I'd notify the group anyway.

Happened to me quite often with the last beta (2.1). A few times I had to keep hitting the power button to boot up normally. Haven't experienced it in this beta (3)

I just turned off smart Lock for a few to test the new lock screen clocks. Pretty cool! I like it. I'm gonna stick with my watch as a trusted device and skip the lock screen, but the new clock options are cool

I am guessing that folks with One Plus phones might be more likely to enroll. I am surprised not to see Samsung.

Where is trusted devices now? I haven't been able to find it since the beginning of 14 beta.
