Q beta - Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers

1. Is android Q beta stable enough to use it every day?
2. Wil I lose my warranty after signing for beta?
3. Does Google Pay works on Q beta?

1. Absolutely
2. Absolutely NO
3. YES, of course

1. Yes, my experience is okay.
2. Yes and no. I contact Google Support for this problem: if you are in beta program, if anything happens to your device unfortunately Google won't cover the warranty, unless you quit the Q beta and run official Pie version; or waiting for the official release of Q.
3. Yes, I used it everyday, it works perfectly.

FWIW I loaded Beta 6 a few weeks ago and have had no problems whatsoever (Pixel 3 XL). Q doesn't seem to be any kind of revolutionary update but does have a few nice features, notably better notification control and the ability to limit background location activity per app.

Wow, google is pretty lame to release a beta build and then deny a warranty. Seriously, a company denying warranty because you are using their product?
I somehow think they would give warranty even if you are on the beta. Might be the support person was confused.

pay attention, some (like me) in beta 6 has many problems, like all sensors not working (and no, it is not just me, see bugtracker, and yes, I fully clean installed beta 6 coming from P). I have a p3
if I were you, just to be sure I would wait the official release (they say it will be very soon, like beginning of september so why don't wait..)
my two cents

flash player 10.1 beta for android

apparently the beta is circulating..
if anyone can get their hands on it, is it possible to pass it around XDA?
i have signed up for beta and receive no notification yet...
me too....
were do you sign up for the beta?...never mined i found it.
Will it work on magic?
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_flashplayer10_android_signup
just signed up, I hope i will get confirmed and get the download information soon.
Edit: The beta release will be available later this year. If you would like to be notified when the beta is available, click the "Sign Up" button below.
So i think it might take a couple of months before we can get our hands on this beta.
Nevertheless, we'll get our hands on it first

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

Android 9 Pie update for Nokia 7 ?

Is this phone getting the Pie update ?
On the Nokia forums, some mention that there's an internal beta but no evidence is provided.
Does anyone know anything about this or have any evidence that Nokia is planning on released an update ?
Yes, it is under active development and it will be released. None of the CN phones have received Android Pie yet because the CN ROM has to include all the customization. Wait for it

Haven't the 7 Plus, 6.1 and 6.1 Plus already received the Android Pie update in China ?
Also Nokia has rolled out an external Beta for the Nokia X7 (released this year).
Still no news released about the Nokia 7 though.
Unless there's evidence behind your claim, i think it's highly doubtful ?
For now we can assume that Android Pie support for the Nokia 7 has been dropped.

None of the Nokia phones in China have received stable Android Pie yet. All under active development. You are right about X7.
I saw beta post. Beta version for nokia 7...... Maybe it will relsed in next month
For nokia 7 its a long term process maybe we wait more next year
Yeah, with android one, you would assume timely delivery of updates.
IOS updates are generally phased within a few days regardless of geographical differences.
Nokia just made a false pledge. Receiving the pie update for China variants months later is no different from Samsung releasing an update 1 year later.

Yeah, recently there was also some speculation that Nokia was delaying updates to boost sales of the latest devices. It's not been confirmed but i think there's some merit to that e.g. How is it that the Nokia X7 has a public beta of pie before the Nokia 7 despite the latter being released an entire year before ? The dev team were likely instructed to prioritise the latest devices for strategic reasons from marketing.
Whatever the reason behind it, they've failed to communicate any delays in development and didn't stick to their word. Their silence is complicity towards a false pledge.
I guess when it comes to android development, we just shouldn't get our hopes up.

Better late than never.
I've installed pie update and performed a factory reset. Everything went ok however I'm having an issue with contact sync; neither stock contacts application or Google contacts are able to sync my contacts, also I am not able to install Google+ either from playstore or using APK from apkmirror.
I've had to import my contacts to phone from an exported VCF file from Google contacts.
Any idea on how to make contact sync to work?
Thanks

I did a factory reset again. I can add any other language without any thirdparty application; contact sync still not working.
Any bugs which you guys encountered in Pie? I have seeing some random app minimization while typing.

Unless someone here actually works for Google I don't think you'll get an answer 100% on that. I will say if they're giving us the beta and and it seems to be a very stable beta....... I think there's a very good chance it'll happen
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
I think yes.. thay said they are extending software support for og pixel on high demand so its very likely to think they will give the full release too
How they will Leave These phones on beta? it's Impossible
Copied from Google's Q beta enrollment page
You can expect to receive between three and six updates over the course of the programme. You will receive an update when opting in, opting out, while in the programme, and a final update to the stable public release upon graduation from programme.
And will it be for first generation Pixels?

Only Google knows the answer to that one, lol.
Either way the pixel will be dropped and then it'll be one of two choices, you get on a custom ROM or upgrade to a newer device.
If if Not full why beta?
I dunno...
It's been quite buggy for me, there are times when I open some apps and the system freezes completely, though I've seen some users don't complain, is it my pixel model or something...?

This will be the first and last Xiaomi I own; of that I am certain.
5g variant got update yesterday so maybe our Perseus will be updated in a few days too... At least I hope.

I am not disappointed in performance, and camera is also good & also installed gcam. They also promised android Q. So, it is not that bad . Although, I was thinking of Oneplus next time because they are known for their software support.

No, performance is fine. The camera is brilliant with the modded camera app. I find all the Xiaomi stuff littering the phone a nuisance although I have removed as much as I can without rooting. (I used to root every phone I owned but need flawless Google Pay - always - and don't want to play whack-a-mole with Google).
I resisted setting up a Xiaomi account - why would I have an account with a phone manufacturer? I'm not really a fan of Mui but with a Google Pixel Launcher it's good enough but I am finding the lack of proper notifications on email less than stellar. I like the Xi charging; OnePlus have never done this. Google's Nexus 4 - I think - did and I was hooked from then on.
There are two issues with Xiaomi really. The over riding issue is security. In my mind timely security updates are essential for any phone manufacturer wanting to be taken seriously. And the second is all the data collection that Xiaomi try to do on me; they seem me as a legitimate subject to data mine and advertise to; I'm not.
So I was hoping the Pixel 4 might finally get Google back on to the straight and narrow that the Nexus phones found. Alas no; it seems the Pixel 4 are stylisticly dead in the water with chin and forehead size bezels as gross as they are. So it looks as if I'll be returning to the OnePlus fold if they can master a through-the-screen camera and finger print scanner on the back where it should be.
I had been running a OnePlus since the the days of the One and went to 3, 5 and 6. I like OnePlus. Reasonable performance; regular updates and close to pure Android.
But liking a phone (why do we still call it a phone - its so much more?) liking a phone is very personal and your mileage will vary from mine.
Any new information about the new update?
New update pushed out. Dark mode now available in stable.
Full rom 10.3.2.0
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.2.0.PEEMIXM/miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.3.2.0.PEEMIXM_cf84891114_9.0.zip
Dark more available but themes don't work correctly when turned on.
Is there a full fastboot image available for the latest version?
