Have done a nandroid and Titanium backups of my Open Beta 9 but as this Android Q Beta (Developer Preview) update changes encryption and may not be fully compatible with TWRP custom recovery or Magisk and its modules not to mention some apps and features, I think I will hang fire on this just now and let the cannon fodder go first!

Re: OnePlus 6 & 6T Android Q is HERE!

ironass TOP TIP: This Android Q Beta (Developers Preview) is good for a very, very, rough look-see but I would not want to use it as a daily driver just yet. Other issues in addition to those in post #1, above..

Bugs:

• Buggy
• slow (some have reported fast but stuttery)
• crashes
• missing features
• home button not really responding
• Wifi not stable
• Sim signal not reliable
• no new gestures only three button navigation
• Barebone android with not much OOS
• Icons in the status bar is zoomed and looks big even after changing settings
• Dark theme is there but there is sometimes mix Color.
• Some have reported Quick charge is not working

Yeah I've been reading through various other forums, I'm staying far far away from this build. My 6t is my daily driver, and it's working waaaay too well to mess with, even though the tech nerd inside of me really wanted to try it. lol

I have Android Q or Windows 10 loaded. It's not too shabby but quick charge isn't worth a darn. Takes over 4 hours to charge from 20% ish to 100%

Battery drain horrible too. 7 hours max with limited usage. Phone gets very warm too.

But I know the risk so I'm trying it out for now.

It's only an early Beta stage 3 from Google, so don't expect too much until Beta stage 5, probably in July.

I'm not updating at all, I like the way my 6T runs now. I'm ignoring future updates.
