January Update

My Pixel Fold requires multiple taps or maybe I should say TAPS to awaken the unfolded screen. I would like to opt out of the Beta but not have to deal with losing data/settings/whatever.

Forgive me if I can't quite figure out when I can do that. When can it be done? Should I not install or update any further system updates - my last was December.

Thanks from someone who has only done this Android beta route this one time and definitely needs direction.

Beta 3 for quarterly updates

QPR2 Beta 3 on Reddit today, and the new version has a build number of AP11.231215.007 on eligible devices, which are every Pixel phone, tablet, and foldable from the 5a to the 8 Pro. Like the most recent stable channel update, this version's security patch level is January 2024. As you'd expect with an update towards the end of a beta cycle, this update's release notes features a laundry list of bug fixes:

Fixed an issue where SPIR-V sequences of OpShiftLeft followed by OpShiftRight didn't produce the expected results for ARM Vulkan driver versions 43.0 and 44.0. (Issue #314048080)

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 that sometimes caused multi-finger gestures to stop working.

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.

It appears to have fixed the problem with the Inner Screen not waking up when unfolding from an active closed screen.

Installed yesterday. I'm still looking for the safest OFF-ramp from the beta without having to wipe. March has been suggested.

Yup I believe that is correct ...

I bit the bullet last week and did my own off ramp, while it is a pain the the ass I just wanted off beta.

Ah wow ...you know there are no bugs with it for me to drop out ...if I come off on the next one will be just to fall in line

I guess when they broke the inner screen not waking up, was my wake up call. I know they fixed it but it still was very annoying. I'd rather not suffer through another glitch like that.

But I really do NOT want to have to go back through setting up the device. If only their Launcher could back up my icons and their placement, I might find the process less irksome!
