flash-all (minus -w) worked fine. Magisk 19.3 is working fine, and twrp-3.3.1-1-crosshatch installs (using ramdisk install method) and decrypts fine. Edge Sense Plus doesn't crash the system but automatically disables on install and after re-enabling and rebooting it comes back up unchecked. Now, I get to wait xxx days until Google Play shows as certified and shows installed apps/updates since I had to clear data/cache to get certification back and everything gets lost for days when previously using Edge Sense and clearing data/cache (at least with ElementalX which is what I am running). Might be time to lose Edge until it get figured out a little bit clearer on this device/kernel (certification has been lost every month for quite a while now). I had to clear Google Play cache/data on my wife's P3, and certification came back immediately along with installed apps and updates. No Edge Sense on her phone.

I see a few possibilities. You did clean install where I did 'no -w.' I do not see a version of TWRP. I used the twrp-3.3.1-1-crosshatch test build posted a bunch of pages back. I haven't used the TWRP .zip installer in months. So much easier to use the ramdisk method under advanced (make sure to have a copy of the .img file on your computer and run that method after fastboot booting). I installed directly to 19.3 Magisk instead of 19.2 +update.
For starters though, did you install TWRP after Magisk? If so, you'd need to install Magisk again to patch boot again.

j to the 4n just reminded me that he added the bootloop protection to Edge Sense if the security version is newer than supported, but that doesn't change the need to clear cache and data in Play Store (to get certified) and losing a ton of time if Edge Sense was installed. Not his fault, but still a PITA.
So, no fix for the muffled sound in calls?
So I updated to the July update and performance is definitely improved from before. I can use the camera and other apps at the same time as Pokemon Go without Pokemon Go reloading. I couldn't do this before.

Seems too early to confirm the ota helps with performance as performance for me is always better after a reboot for a while. If it stays smooth like it is for me nearly two days after updating then I would have more confidence the performance improvements are helping.

Yes, definitely.
I've seen that Whatsapp and Spotify doesn't go to sleep. Whatsapp was at last more than eleven hours online in Background.
Hoping that this is an issue of this update here and they can fix it soon.
I don't now, where I can search, but it's very annoying.

You could stop Spotify using tracking permission. I know thats one reason it's in the background so much other than music cause it tracks your steps. Could restrict WhatsApp in the background?

I believe so. I've been running since it dropped. I haven't had any force closes and the only happens you I've had was with Nova Launcher not showing apps in the drawer and vertical mode. Other than that it's been running good.

Not sure if you found the fix but you can use Nova Launcher app drawer if you go into settings and change the toggle for card mode to on.

Wonderful I don't use any 3rd party launchers so that won't be an issue for me. As this is a beta how often is there updates? Just curious
No problems with Smart Launcher
i got enrolled today morning.. running smoothly so far..
Anyone else really annoyed by the clock being on the left? Beside that it runs and feel great, just a left sides clock is a no for me, hopefully we can move it back in later builds
A few Android P questions/observations that someone might be able to answer as I've had a few minutes to actually use it:
- What is the "Actions Services" and Suggestions app?
- Is there a way to enable locations services but not use GPS to save battery? I only see on/off and when on it says it will use GPS, mobile data, and wi-fi.
Has any one noticed that album are in play music is messed up on P? Mine is all over the place since i updated to P.

There is no need now for the battery saving option in location. There is considerable improvement in battery and GPS does not take away any significant chunk of battery. I am not sure about Actions Services and Suggestions. However, I guess it must be the app for predictive AI based actions.

Flash the whole factory image for DP2 instead.
I have flashed an image before and I'm not sure how to do it as well. I wanted to opt in using the rootless option. Could you please help me out as to why I don't see my Pixel 2 listed on my devices on Google Play? TIA.

I think I've found a fix. I removed my google account from the "Accounts" section. Then restarted the phone. It prompted me on restart to sign-in again and I did. Then I went & synced the account, and then downloaded one random app onto my device. Then checked again in Play > Settings and it was there! Magic! Now I can view my device on Google Play & I'm able to download the Android P Beta. It's pretty good.
Anyone know of a way to roll back to 8.1 without losing data? I'm rooted with magisk
I tried installing via system image but the phone will stay on the loading G on boot.
If I try fastboot boot TWRP.img, data is encrypted.

I would recommend a clean flash of latest 8.1 firmware (May security patch) by flashing the factory image.

This is what I tried.
Pixel 3 here in China with November build installed.
Live Caption works well until today I upgrade chrome, system webview etc.
Now I have to clean the storage of device personalization service and reboot the phone to get it back.
But it can only survive several minutes before disappears automatically again.
Have you ever encountered this issue and how do you work it out?
Appreciate your comments.
I just tried it, did not have it installed before, and I had no issues. How did you get live caption installed?
I followed this guidance:
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-pixel-4-live-caption-android-10/
Also it was said that Google had started rolling out this feature to old Pixel phones from sever side.

OK, that is the method I tested, it seemed to work fine, but I was just testing.
By months my 3a won't automatically update itself even with update/download "over any network", I have already tried to restore and wipe from recovery but still unresolved.
Does anyone noticed this issue?
I tried waiting almost one month without system (monthly patch) and apps (all pending) updates popup.
Google support after few attempts, just proposed me a warranty replacement but the phone otherwise is perfect.
Manual updates works.
Any tips?
TY
I had the same issue back in January and didn't get a system update well into April. So I had to manually update. Still haven't gotten the May update yet, but we'll see.
Also with the apps?
If you have an unlocked bootloader, I would not count on automatic monthly updates. They work sometimes, but not most of the time. My personal experience is that I have to sideload the monthly updates about 90% of the time.
As far as app updates, I generally manually check it every couple of days and find that there are pending updates. I will hit the "update" button and manually update them if I see pending updates. That being said, if I don't check it for a while (maybe a week), the phone will eventually update the apps, but it certainly doesn't happen on a daily basis, at least not in my experience. I just wanted to add my experiences as they seem to be very similar to yours.

Having an unlocked bootloader, too, but I never had issues with updates until now, they are coming directly at the first day Google is sending out the OTA.
I wonder if our phone service provider is also a factor? I have not been seeing the updates available within a day or two of when they are posted on the first Monday of the month. I get my phone service through a T-mobile MVNO. Maybe people on Google Fi are more likely to get it OTA quickly?
My phone is rooted with Magisk.
But I'm impatient so I have always just applied the update manually. It's a bit more of a pain because it means that I have to download not only the update but also the factory image to extract the boot image file and patch it with Magisk.
I have not had a problem installing updates for apps through play. I just have to remember to NOT update youtube so that I don't lose youtube vanced!
Hi all and thanks for your time!
I have a good news.
After avoid to do any manual update, right now I see that few apps have been updated themself from 11 hr and 2 days ago, but other 22 apps are still pending (when I wrote here the 6th May they were 40).
Around the 23th of Feb I had to do manual update search because it still was with Jan patch, even in March and April I did the manual search the week after the day 5th.
My phone is not rooted and during the day it uses both cellular and WiFi networks, mostly of the nights I put it in airplane mode and battery save (so it lasts easily for 2 days).
The cause was because I put all the nights the phone in airplane mode with battery saver, last night I leave it connected to WiFi and under charge, this morning I found the advice to reboot for install the system patch and after boot also the apps were updated.
The system patch has been found around 4 am.
I'm having a similar issue with my rooted 3a. I have stock rom, elemental kernel, and magisk. But apps that came installed as part of the ohone won't update in Google play. Stuff like phone, contacts, sim carrier, Gmail, camera, etc
There's literally about 20 updates right now that won't install. They download, and say installing, then they just skip to the next and still say there's an available update. After the final one is tried, I get a message saying that it was unable to update those apps.
Any app that I downloaded from play or as an apk, allows me to update without any issue at all.
I have googled it and followed the recommendations, but so far, nothing has helped. I cleaned the cache, hard reboots, switch update settings, turned off play protect, deleted cache and data of play store and play services. Removed my account and added it bad. And have some a few more things that I read about -- but yet nothing fixes it.
If I should start a new thread, that's no problem. I don't want to hijack this one. But saw that it dealt with update issues and thought maybe I would see if I could find help.
I bought new OnePlus 6, 6gb Ram Variant.
After using for first few minutes I got a crash while trying to open Photos app, then some 20mins later I went to storage to Clear Up Space Blue Button..keeps crashing wont Open........so 12hrs later tried to factory reset...man i got so many hiccups trying to factory reset...took me 1hr and idk maybe 25 retries to factory reset..wifi wont connect or after finishing the setup i still get random bugs...so alas I did get a good reset....just google play store crashed while it was updating like 25 apps.........man already new phone so many crashes why?
Then i went to software updates i see no updates...........should i update to latest version of Android Oreo and stop there or.................go for 9/10/11......whats the best out of 9/10/11 and should i stick to end of oreo instead?
You can flash the last update of OOS 10.3.12. Which is i am currently running. Do not flash 11 it has many bugs.

flash stock with msm to solve crashing issue
OOS is EOL for OP6 & 6T
Flash custom rom
for better battery back, support & stability
my suggestion Lineage OS, Pixel Experience & Ricedroid
Lineage Os 19.1 works great, no bugs. NFC payment with Google Wallet works too.
Just thought id put this up in case anyone else is going round in circles after an update to A13/OneUI 5.0 on Samsung devices

Sometimes get as far as pairing code shown before inevitable fc
Issues with Watch 4 connection noted on S22's, so may be related
You would think they would test this stuff, wouldnt you.....
Bloody Samsung, premium price for garbage software updates
Im going back to A12 or start looking round for a new phone....why cant Google make a decent Pixel without buggy hardware...life was so easy when they did
Update:
Reading the S22 threads theres a whole host of issues with A13 and OneUI 5.0
Really, how does Samsung do this on a flagship??? Its like a clown show

Cheers, but just for reference, im quite involved in Magisk circles and hiding root (have modules to assist in this)...im usually helping others hide stuff or deal with root issues.....so i know what im doing
Also the same setup i use had no such issues in Android 12, its very much a Samsung making life harder for everyone, on purpose, because theyre basically acting like the new Apple and want to lock everything down. Ive decided to go back to Pixel, off to buy one soon, Samsung has gotten their last $ from me, they can go hang...

Rooted Samsung Phones doesn't connect to Samsung Watches anymore.
You need to modify 2 files in vendor partition,
Vendor - build prop and remove SAKV2 from security keys
Vendor/etc/Wintf - Empty the Manifest.xml file
reboot and the watch will connect fine.

Thank you for this.
I will use this If I ever lose the R/W ability in my device.
For now I have R/W - so I wrote to the file directly.
Heres what i found out......
TLDNR version:
Dont backup and restore Samsung Wearables Apps - even if you previously were able to do this for eons, like i had. I have used Migrate to backup and restore apps and app data for eons (important to note i always left the app data (middle column in Migrate GUI) disabled for Samsung Wearables apps. Always let the Watch be detected as part of device setup on stock ROM OR install the Galaxy Wearable live from the Play Store (after clearing Google Play Services/Store sata and achieving Integrity check if you are rooting your device)
Longer version:
The other night i finally got time to flash back to A12, ran my normal procedure, rooted, USNF...clear data on GP/GS and then connected Watch...only it still wouldnt connect, even though the app restore was taken from a clearly working A12 (just before i flashed A13)
So i had to alter my procedure in leaving out the backed up Samsung wearables apps during restore, and then let the installed ROM detect the presence of the Watch 4 AFTER i have rooted, USNF...clear data on GP/GS and then connect Watch...
Looks a little like this:
* Flash ROM via ODIN (including my special AIO.zip to install TWRP, format data, decrypt data etc)
* Watch 4 WAS powered on and waiting to be detected when setup wizard looks for it towards end of setup - ignored/cancelled setup this time - going to do the root, USNF module and integrity check thing firsties
* Finish setup
* Reboot to TWRP recovery
* Root with Magisk (renamed to .zip) via TWRP
* Reboot
* Install Magisk App to complete install (you can just use the stub installer which will download the full app, but im used to doing it this way)
* Reboot
* Install USNF (Mod) and put device in airplane mode clear data on Google Play Store/Services to pass Integrity Check
* Reboot
* Take device off airplane mode....
* Open Google Play and confirm its certified (just needs to show version (Device Is Certified of course comes later - as along as it doesnt say Device Is Not Certified, all is well)
* Watch 4 automatically detected (Wearable Manager Installer - this is i think obviously a stub installer to detect and call the latest Galaxy Wearable from the Play Store) and Watch setup commences
* Watch setup completes
* Restore remaining apps via Migrate (leaving wearables unselected - will leave them unchecked on next backup)
NOTE: you must do (and ALWAYS have had to do) the Watch connection AFTER clearing data on GP/GS to get Integrity to pass. If you do that data clear after you connect the Watch it will sever the connection, as it tied to GS
Noter 2: Ultimately i decided id had enough of Samsung tomfudgery, and i bought a Pixel 6 Pro and departed for sanity back to Pixel Lyfe.....
My watch 5 out of nowhere stopped connecting to the wearable app, but was still connected to Bluetooth. Tried clearing cache on my s22 and the watch, reset data to the wearable app, uninstalled it and the watch 5 app, reset the watch, nothing works.. Now that I reset the watch I can't get it set up.. It downloads the watch 5 app, I click OK on accept updates, then it says error then the wearable app crashes.. I tried installing an older version of the app, but it wants to update before it'll do anything. Anyone able to get past this? I can't use my watch at all. Sooo aggravating.

That behaviour has been noted on S22, and well even the Watch 4, once disconnected could be a pain to get connected again, involving a Watch reset (which of course you have tried
Samsung got wise to the whole "install and older version fo the app" thing a little while ago, because it was a legit way to get Samsung Health working on rooted Samsungs, and so now its a forced upgrade on some of the wearables related apps....
As i said above, the backup (that started all this) i had was from a working install where everything worked and had for many months, but when restoring it, which id done a couple of dozen times, this last time it caused chaos. the ONLY way i could get it working was the way i outlined above, which wasnt an issue for me as i was already clean flashing, but from an installed system, well i dont know what to tell you , i tried various clearing/uninstalls of apps and could never get it to connect until i did what i did in the last post
But i dont even know if youre using a rooted S22...im guessing not
You could try clearing data on the Google Play Store and Google Play Services as they also play a part in the Watch connection (i.e. if you clear data on these ever with the Watch connected, you WILL sever the connection) and then try running Watch connection setup again

Yeah, not rooted. I'll give the clearing play store and services data a whirl. I also have a conversation going with Samsung support on Twitter. Thanks for replying!

Root has nothing to do with, the Galaxy Wearable app doesnt stop working if your knox has been tripped.
Ive had the last 3 Galaxy watches and all my phones have been rooted with custom roms, any issues ive had connecting/pairing were user error.
