Opt out and go back...

[sicario666]

How do I opt out and go back to the public version? I think it was Android 13. I've experienced too many bugs and I'm not happy with it. Does going back wipe my device?

Yes, leaving beta wipes your phone

Well it might be worth it. Just looking for some direction

Not sure what bugs you are referring to as I have 2 phones on beta and is pretty darned stable

Lockscreen. It takes longer than usual to unlock the device. Fingerprint doesn't read, tapping it does nothing(haptic feedback). I have to press the power button to turn the screen on then the face unlock works

Same page you opt in beta you have to unenroll then manually check for update that will take you back to official

Android Beta Program

Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.

Mine has been rock stable with the last few beta downloads. When the official version hits, will the beta testers get that or have to wipe and reload?

As far as I remember when stable version is released it automatically updates your phone to stable and will also unenroll from beta.

If this is true. I'll hold off for a while. Wiping my device is also keeping me from pulling the trigger to go back

Tbh you probably need to wipe your device anyways as it sounds like something is causing your issues that isn't from the beta.

"MY" understanding when on BETA is this: If you decide to unenroll BEFORE the stable release drops then your device WILL WIPE AND RESET!!!!

However, if you wait until the stable drops (which could happen any day now) then you will have to decide whether to unenroll, or stay in the BETA program. If you decide to unenroll AFTER receiving the stable drop your device will NOT wipe and reset!!!

You will not "automatically" be unenrolled from the BETA program upon receiving the stable drop...you will have to unenroll manually... but your device will NOT reset! This is the only time unenrolling from the BETA program allows you to stay where you are and not having to wipe and reset.
YMMV

This is correct. Wait for stable 14 and then bail before the next beta.

I'm gonna stick around. While the problems are annoying, I can bear with it and wait it out. Maybe the next build will fix my issues
