Yeah I had to reboot a couple times. First my esim wasn't connecting at all. Second my silent setting for notifications was still on loud. And I had to reinstall one of my widgets that wouldn't load. Alls good now though.I just downloaded Android 17 beta 1. The install went well except I had to reboot the phone a couple of times and now everything seems to bejworking. Additionally, the Play service is now update shows April 1st 2026
Yike! That's not good.I keep getting crashes left and right. Messages is almost unusable right now. I have to keep completely powering off. Leaving it for a minute. Then rebooting.
YMMV, but I would hesitate not installing yet. I've been doing every beta since 10 and this is the first time my phone is almost unusable.![]()

I can't open the majority of my apps. Especially messages. If anyone is trying to reach me, they can't. Chrome keeps crashing. Even just going into settings crashes. I'm legit freaking out right now.

Hey, you can't live on the cutting edge with a little blood from time to timeThis is why you don't install early build betas on your primary phone!

Like I said, I've been doing betas since 10 and this is the first time my phone is unusable. I can basically open one app then I have to reboot the phone.This is why you don't install early build betas on your primary phone!
No luck with clearing cache in recoveryLike I said, I've been doing betas since 10 and this is the first time my phone is unusable. I can basically open one app then I have to reboot the phone.
That's something I've never done before. Going to have to research how to do that.No luck with clearing cache in recovery
