Couldn't resist the Beta OTA tonight ...Seems stable so far. Anyone having issues.

I seem to have recharge issues at times when it is plugged in... new charger and all seems to have to turn off to get it to charge
 
The only thing I've found so far is the Android Central app crashes a few times when clicking the Forum choice in the menu...

So far it seems no more or less stable than the previous two builds on my N6. The same apps that crashed in v1 and v2 are still crashing in v3 (especially the Forums section of the AC app, appropriately enough). I suspect Google pushed the "beta" designation largely because they spilled the beans on the best N features too far ahead of the I/O and needed a hook for the presentation.
 
Every now and then my quick settings will decide they don't want to do anything and won't register any touch's while everything around them does.
Apart from that everything seems solid

I've also noticed the BT icon is always displayed at the top, wether BT is off or on. It displays 2 if it's on.
Also Play News crashes and can't be used, since that is a Google app that's a real surprise.
I've sent feedback on these issues.

I gave in and enrolled yesterday too. Seems pretty stable so far, though the phone runs warm much of the time now, and the battery is draining quicker. 15 minutes of screen time browsing the web and this app = 10 percent. There's a bunch of tiny visual glitches in the transitions, animations and such, but I guess that's to be expected.

Of course I found out after the fact that dark theme, one of the big things I was looking forward to checking out, is no more, and it sounds like night mode will be going away also. Oh well, hopefully next year.

I'm anxious to see how the battery will hold up during the work week.

I am not having any issues with my apps.
So far seems to be running fine.
I keep BT on since one of my apps requires it to sync with wearable (no issue with)
My BT is not displayed in notification bar if it is not on,, by the way
 
Any one having a problem with mp3 files not showing up in music player apps? I've tried multiple no luck. They are showing in storage but the apps can not pull them for some reason. This includes Google all access.

I get an error message describing something like that when starting PowerAmp, but I'm not seeing any issues playing any files so far...

Is ambient display working for you all?

For me, it comes on when I nudge or pick up the phone, but doesn't seem to be coming on as notifications come in while the phone is sitting on the table.

The AC App is still crashing, though not every time, when going into the forum section, and notifications aren't coming through to my first gen moto 360.

It comes on with email alerts for me , but not texts...I haven't be able to claim consistency since I'm not watching it enough. I also seem to miss text notifications completely, which may be why it doesn't wake the screen.

It's been pretty stable for me, couple issues though... have had 2 CPU cores stop working requiring a reboot to get all 4 going as they should. Also now the battery manager is not showing what percentage of battery what apps are using.

Anyone else finding that their alarms aren't dismissing?

I have to switch the device off sometimes to get the bloody alarm to turn off...
 
Am I right that we can't manage individual apps' permission to peek on incoming notifications? All I see is the option to prevent peeking or popping when in do not disturb mode in the 'block visual disturbances' section.

Hope they change this. I love being able to control peeking on a per app basis, regardless of whether do not disturb is on or not...
