Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro beta

[SAVAGE420]

Thanks for all the great responses. I'm glad that if you go through the process till the end and everyone has that final release you can then opt out and never have to reset if you don't want to.

Here's a good read. Couple other links in there as well.

Being the beta is Android 12 L, is there much point in enrolling our 6 and 6 Pro phones?

I feel like it made my phone run better and may have actually fixed some stuff. YMMV.

FYI, if you are on Verizon then c-band is (finally) enabled in the beta release.

And this is the final beta and is very stable. The stable release will be pushed to Pixel Phones so we will all end up on 12L. My FPS is working much faster and more accurately since the update and my phone just feels smoother and faster. It was fast before but is EVEN faster. Lol.

Anybody else having an issue when the phone is on Smart unlock, you have to put your finger on the unlock circle versus swiping it up to open the phone?

I no longer have the phone call pull in status bar. Just the bubble

My P6P is on beta 12L and I have to swipe up to open the phone with Smart Unlock.
Edit: Actually I can do both with Smart Unlock, touch circle or swipe up. Not sure why the touching the button just started working. Glad it is.

Same here. Touching the unlock circle on the lock screen doors nothing. I swipe up to unlock as well.

I noticed the overall feel/phone reaction is faster and smoother. Settings menu font seems larger and definitely more spacing in between items / headings. lastly, fingerprint reader is now flawless. Did note that it was better, so went one step further and deleted / redid my fingerprints (4 for right thumb +1 for left). Been trying to get it to falter all morning with no luck. It works very well. (fingers crossed)

I added to my original post that I can now unlock by using the button. Not sure when that changed.

Do you see that option in settings, or does it just happen if you're in an area that has that band?

Installed a short while ago. No issues so far.

 

[kmf1]

I installed the beta this morning. All is well so far.

It connects to 5G UW automatically.

Thank you, dhavill. Maybe one day I'll be in an area that offers it.

It seems to fast charge quicker now and battery life is way better than before.
Or possibly it's getting to adapt to me better? Not 100% sure, but under an hour from 10% is pretty decent.
God I love this phone!!
