I know an unusual question, perhaps. I thought the "transfer" from outer (folded) to inner (unfolded) was automatic. When my Pixel Fold is closed and I'm using the front screen and then UNfold it. The inner screen remains dark. I have to repeatedly tap to awaken it. If it is sleeping unfolded, again, it takes repeated taps to wake it up.

Is there a setting I might have changed or is there something I'm doing wrong? Default Pixel Launcher. Android 14 Beta something or other.

Thanks in advance.

When I open mine, it just wakes up to the inner screen showing the content that I was being on the cover screen. There isn't a setting to make that happen, it just does it.

On another forum (shudders at the thought!), someone mentioned that it might be a beta problem!!! No problem, I will just pound on the inner screen till it wakes up!!

Fixed issues that sometimes caused Bluetooth connections to be interrupted for some devices. (Issue #315324137, Issue #317798832)

Fixed issues that sometimes caused a device to crash or become unresponsive after restarting. (Issue #317282987, Issue #316689583, Issue #316188779)

Fixed issues that in some rare cases caused devices to reboot while in idle mode. (Issue #316903919, Issue #316557374)

Fixed an issue that caused live wallpapers to stop animating. (Issue #312869160)

Fixed an issue that prevented Google Assistant from activating in some cases. (Issue #311934282)

Fixed an issue where the device's screen didn't initially turn on when the screen was double-tapped or the power button was pressed.

Fixed an issue that sometimes caused higher than usual CPU usage during video playback.

Fixed a system issue that sometimes caused poor audio quality or higher power consumption when making calls.

Fixed an issue where the keyboard was always shown even if the "Swipe up to start search" setting was disabled in system settings.

Fixed an issue where sometimes when a user unlocked the device using their fingerprint, there was no haptic feedback.

Fixed an issue for Pixel Fold devices where sometimes after a user unlocked the device while it was folded, the inner display didn't turn on after unfolding the device.

Fixed various issues that were impacting system stability, performance, connectivity, camera, and accessibility.
