Of course. They are just as quick as google.

I'm getting impatient, you think it is safe for me to sideload the beta 3?

So are you saying that even in beta it is as stable as 8.1? What bugs have you personally witnessed using the beta or what noteworthy upgrades or changes that you personally enjoy?You never really answered my questions. Your response sounded like a sales pitch lol

The only issues I have had with the PBeta on the most recent version was with beta versions of a few Google apps. I rolled back to stable versions for now of the Google app and search app and have had no more issues. Battery life has been solid even a bit better than 8.1.

For sure i personally think its perfect. No bugs but my google phone app beta an update ago, would force close. They issued a fix yesterday. Thats the only bugs i have had and i have run the past 3 versions. 8.1 is boring. The new gesture system is great and the battery life is insane

I have some issues with streaming music on the P beta... Like Spotify won't let the system know it's playing music and after 2 songs the music stops because doze kicks in... But other than that and the occasional data/wifi drop/stall it's been pretty damn good

Is a root available yet for Android P?

Will Google update Nexus 5 to Android N?

So, it seems that there is no Developer Preview for us from Google.
These are some very sad news for those who prefer the stability of Stock Android (directly from Google), rather than the battery life and performance improvements, as well as many many features that Custom ROMs provide.
Personally I believe that this is pretty much a confirmation from Google that they move away from Nexus 5, but I really want to hear your opinions.
So let's vote and discuss!
If Google don't do that..there are the developers
The Nexus 5 will be three years old this year. It will reach end of support soon unless it already has. We might still see security updates for a while though, and we will most likely see some developers porting Android N to the Nexus 5.
Didn't this happen with the Nexus 4 last year? They didn't get the preview builds but they did get the final Marshmallow build? Hopefully it's the same for us and we get one last big update.
It did happen with the Nexus 4, but the year before last year with Lollipop. It didn't get updated to MM though.

When is the official end of the line for Nexus 5? I think Google said 24 months after the device release or 12 months after the device stops being sold through the Google Store or something...?
I hope N5 will die on N, at least.
Best device ever made.

I really hope so. From my point of view Android N is what Android M should have been on the first place.
It finally gives us official Multi-window support, something that was experimental on M, stock file manager improves in a way that we no longer need an app for that, Doze works whenever the screen is off for a while... and many more!

Yep... It's a JavaScript error. Try a different or older browser. For me, it didn't work with Firefox and Chrome on my desktop, and also failed with Chrome on Android. I finally got it running with Firefox on Android.
Maybe they want to make sure you're a worthy beta tester...

My first device was RMA for 23 days before I finaly got a new one for the DOA device.

Personaly i don`t agree, i`ve had the the 3/ 3T/ 5 and support is terrible. They can`t get the camera software/ processing up to par and and after only 6 months your device is allready obsolete. Would never buy a OP again. Nokia fills the gap between OEM devices and the Pixels by creating a new affordable Nexus line, imo a golden move for all android purists.
I've got the Beta, and the only issue I have is the 'xxx is running in the background' alerts (which are part of Oreo anyway, and annoying rather than a showstopper), and lock-screen display is not showing the number of e-mails and texts unread.

i read that you can roll back to 7.1.1 from 8 Beta...in this case will the phone be reseted? i wanna give 8 a try bot do not wanna set the device from scratch again.

Roll back is full wipe. Not something I'll be doing anyway. Sticking with oreo
I also updated to Oreo, so far i have found everything snappier.
Just hope they get the ringtone volume back to nougat levels.
camera seems to take slightly sharper images, but no increase in speed taking shots.
All in all this phone is what the pixels should be, all phones should come with a memory card slot.
Updated my TA-1004, ATM it works just fine

When the previews are released, do you happen to know when they become available to the public? And when they're actually stable?

We can get them as soon as the are released. The last two have been very stable for me. I ran them as my daily driver from the get go. However there are often bugs in a few apps that are not ready yet.

True!
Maybe the hint would be the move from G+ to r/android_beta yesterday.
I think sometime next week is what most of us are thinking now.
It's today! :good:

Check this link for when it DOES come: https://www.google.com/android/beta
Still waiting!
Now they think it might be on Wednesday:
"Unfortunately, March 11th has come and gone without any Android Q Beta releases from Google. Our apologies for getting your hopes up. However, it looks like Wednesday, March 13th might be the date to mark in your calendar.
Historically, developer previews and betas have been released on Wednesday, and the screenshot above, taken from a reddit comment, is reportedly from a Google developer calendar. Here's hoping we have better luck on the 13th."

Android 10?

Who wants to guess when official Android 10 will drop? I'm going to say it will be sometime early next week!
you mean Android Q
I don't care, I will not change the naming scheme even if it's official.
I can't believe they stopped the dessert naming scheme
Absolutely disappointed
I'm going to say first week of Oct
Whenever the 7T is released
7T will be shipped with Android 10. For OP7 pro, who knows. I'd expect fast update.

That's not that far from beta4 to stable. I'm pretty sure Oneplus is working on stable 10 now.
Rumours say Sept. 3rd:

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Android-10-release-date-confirmed-official-Pixel_id118451
I'm guessing Open Beta will be around the end of this week.
OP will preserve the update for the new flagship (T) I guess. Normaly within a view days after release they stable updates will be availeble for the previous devices from the same release year.
This could be soon after 27 sept (presentation OP7T and OP7T Pro en OP TV.)
For now latest Developer Preview is out DP4. From this version on you can update via OTA to bèta builds. So you can try it but dont expext everything is working fine. Its still a preview. If you only want stable builds I presume you need to wait to the beginning of october.

He "doesn't like the new naming scheme". Let him stay in his bubble, it's fine. When the time comes and we're all referring to new builds by numbers (as Google is intending), he'll be stuck on letters still and we'll just sit back with our popcorn and laugh. I completely understand Google's reasoning behind it and even after being disappointed at first, the change makes sense. They said that not all desserts were recognized globally and not all regions have certain letters or know what order they come in. I just read an article the day that I found out about the news, if I can find it, I'll link it.
Edit: this isn't the exact article I was referring to, but close enough. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.th...ficially-announced-new-logo-wordmark-desserts

I really do not care what they call it.
I do know last year One Plus release Android "9" really fast.
We had it long before the Samsung losers.
You want the fastest updates Pixel but at least last year One Plus was pretty fast.

It is rumoured that Oneplus is going to release Android 10 for OP7 Pro in October or November 2019. I think that's possible. We can be sure one thing - that will be faster than Lineage.

Question Android 13 for SM-S9080

Hi guys. how come S21 and S20 Series are getting One UI 5 stable and I have S22 Ultra S9080 and till date haven't got One UI5? Everyone with S9080.
I should've gone with an IPhone instead. They cost almost the same.
I had OnePlus for So long and it was amazing. Untill their 9 version and changed to Xioami and it was even worst and then to Samsung and this makes it even worst.
At least Chinese Brands don't really do this kind of update crap and apps available by region and can't change location and lots of bloatware despite Xioami.
