Android Pie

[Knightmayre90]

Has anyone actually downloaded a beta version of pie? I'm very curious. When I had my pixel 2xl i installed the beta version and i really liked it. I'm itching to see how it fares on this device.

I'm afraid to try beta OS. Mine is working great right now.

i felt like that when i installed on the Pixel, turned out that i was quite the fan of pie, it ran so nice on that phone.

I'm trying to figure out how to stop the update to Pie, because I hate those blue, bubble quick settings icons and don't see enough pros to deal with them.
Without Root and Titanium Backup I may be sunk.

I installed it on my phone. but I'm curious to see if anyone has gotten wireless android auto going.

Can't you just set your phone to only check for updates manually... and then never check?

Of course that would mean forgoing security updates as well.

I've been itching to give it a try and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Now that we're hopefully only a month away from the release I think I'll just wait. I really hoping that Samsung will open a beta program to us soon.

Rumors are by the time s9 gets 2nd beta build the note 9 could be in beta but those are rumors.

I e was on the first leak beta then went back to oreo , has there been any updates? Like 2nd beta?

 

[mclarryjr]

If I install the beta will I have to roll back to Oreo to get the official version? I'm assuming yes and that's why I'm waiting since I hoping we're that close.

Yes , I was on the leak beta on my s9 and it didn't let me register for beta so had to downgrade to oreo then update the Samsung+ app and got the notification

Was it quick like the Pixel beta where you'd get it within minutes?

As soon as I updated the Samsung plus app to newer version it was there the notification and went to software update and it started downloading

it was in alpha now the beta has been released on their server. I just installed it last night. the only real problem im having is it keeps disabling the night mode on its own. but I haven't played with settings to much

 

[mclarryjr]

Well if it's that stable I may have to install it tomorrow, thank for the info.

The problem I encountered was sometimes freezes and phone would vibrate randomly

Still looks like some user at XDA are reporting some freezing but not to often. Others are saying videos seems to break and not work after hours of flashing. I do understand it will never work 100% in beta just trying to figure out if it's close enough for me.

I wait it out for now, you can go to the beta anytime but wait see if note9 does officially go to beta.

Is the note 9 expected to get the official version of Pie? I thought we were supposed to have it already.
