Whats the difference between Xiaomi Global Dev vs Xiaomi.eu MIUI Weekly releases?

What is the difference between these two releases? Im quite confused.
They both look as though they offer OTA, the Xiaomi.eu one is SafetyNet certified which means Android Pay works.
Which is preferable to just have as a stable rom to leave on my phone and not worry?

I f you want rock solid stability and don't mind having Android Marshmallow, I would suggest staying on Global Stable and waiting for MIUI 9 which is supposed to come with Android Nougat pretty soon

Oh cool i didnt realize how soon it was coming, just searched. Thanks for the advice.... it also seems like much less of a pain to just upgrade to that vs flashing something new and setting up my phone again!

Android Q

Hi all, I'm thinking of installing Android Q, though have never installed a beta before. For a noob like me, should I wait until it's past beta or should it be alright?
Has anyone installed it and if so, how are you finding it?

I am running the Q beta. For the most part, it's working very well, but there's some issues. Some apps are not working normally, or at all. It's a gamble at best. Many beta testers have a 2nd phone to rely on, just in case. And, some will wait until the 2nd or 3rd release before jumping in.

If you use Reddit, the r/android_beta community is a great place to see what the Q beta testers are experiencing.

I honestly find this beta rock stable considering it's a beta as its name says. It's my Daily Driver for my Pixel 2.

I will probably wait for dp2/3 like with pie

Its pretty stable, however the battery life is not exactly on point. i do not yet recommend it as a daily driver, however if you want to install it to see new features you can go here https://www.google.com/android/beta to opt in your device and install it like any other OTA update

I'm using it as a daily driver. Honestly i didnt face any issues except for one app (localcast) not working. Battery life is almost the same but sometimes goes wrong and drains for no reason. All in all though its pretty stable.
Dont know if I'll recommend it though, it really depends on how you use it and if all your apps are compatible. For me there are really no extra "features" or speed improvements, just minor things here and there that dont make a big difference overall, I'd stick with Pie if I were you.

Anyone with Android Q DP1 and Magisk?
I've seen some folks with P2XL with it working on the Magisk Canary topic, but no one with the regular Pixel 2.

Anyone using Q notice if the notification sounds are working in Android auto yet? Thanks

installed the beta last night and its holding up pretty well so far 12 hrs in. loving the system wide dark mode (finally) and the battery life is the same as P, so far.

I noticed a couple things that may be reasons to wait until the next update for some folks:
- All my stored wifi passwords were lost immediately upon updating.
- When passing by wifi networks that are saved but do not have the password set mobile data drops and stays off until toggling mobile data on/off. I'm not certain it's wifi related, but each time it happened I was using the phone and noticed xfinitywifi tried to connect and then mobile data dropped.
- Chrome doesn't autofill passwords, latest Chrome beta fixed this so it will eventually be fixed when the next Chrome version drops.

Is beta 3 stable enough for daily use

It's been out for a while now, was wondering if it is stable enough for daily use. I've tried to search but there isn't a tread on actual stability for daily use. Thanks

beta 4 should be out in a few days, may as well wait.

I had beta 3 on my 3XL, but reverted back to Pie. Phone was always running uncomfortably hot and the battery seemed to drain fairly quickly. Last night, I shut my phone completely off at 30%. This morning, I tried to power it on and it was completely drained. I placed it on the pixel stand and it showed that I had 0% battery. After reverting back to Pie, the phone no longer runs hot.

It is for me.

It ran very smooth for me but I couldn't live without root, so I went back to Pie.

I was getting FC with a high amount of apps

It's been running fine for me. A few little glitches such as the display not turning on when I lift the phone, but that is more of an irritation than a reason to not use it. Although as stated earlier, beta 4 will drop in a few days, so might as well wait for that.

For the most part it's good. The real big issue I've had is the snapchat/camera bug. I'll take a snap, and it'll turn all pixelated and everything, close it, then try again and it says the camera is not responding, and if you go to the camera app it doesn't work either. Great camera, but its glitchy as all hell.

ok its been a day since I installed beta 3 and yes its running fine , battery life seems better as well. I use my work for work with work emails and I don't feel like reverting back. Android Q is pretty awesome. I have noticed Netflix working but there are screen jitters.
My honest suggestion is to wait for beta 4 which should have completed most of the errors.

This is the one thing I agree with so far. A LOT of my normal apps just either won't run or randomly close. Just basic apps and the known issue with having syncing issues with banking apps is really hard to take.

Been on since the 1st beta, been stable enough for my usage this far.

I have come back on foot, it is slow, there are many failures, especially with Google services, etc ...to see beta 4 that will come out soon

I have been running the Beta and no issues works fine for me as daily driver.

I've never had any force closing of any of my apps on beta 3. Then again, I did do a clean install of it.

Works pretty much perfectly for me. No FC of apps, very fast and the battery life is great. I DID wipe on P before taking the beta 2 update, then took the 3 OTA. I think going dirty from P to Q is what is causing so many problems for people. I would definitely wipe either on P or when you grab Q. Normally I would say on P, then setup all apps since that helps a ton with them working correctly on early betas, but, 4 should work with most apps at this point.
The only thing I'm not entirely happy with is the full gestures. The partial swipe up and hold for recents kind of sucks. I have to turn it off then on again daily to keep it working. Also, I think full/quick swipe up should be for recents, and either a second swipe or the swipe and hold for apps. The former is how it works on 2 button and it's soooo much better.

I got my pixel 3 xl
I updated to beta 3 before installing any applications or even restoring from the play store
I get numerous force close on many applications repeatedly some not even starting at all.
Banking apps by and large fail to work.

I've just received the beta 4 update ?

Been on the beta since the first one was released on my daily driver. No serious issues at all. Beta 4 is almost the final version (final API:s) of Android 10.
It's snappier than Pie ever was and the gestures are great.

What are differences between OS 10.0.1 and 10 Beta 3?

Hello guys,
Im new on this phone. im confused i have some question.
Some of news websites say that the Official OS 10 for OP7 series will be released this month.. what does that mean ?
now i have 10.0.1 and Beta 3 was released 2-3 days ago why ?
what are differences between 10.0.1 and 10 beta 3?
can you explain it guys ?

10.0.1 is stable...
The beta program showcases potential features and fixes that could be merged into stable.

Beta 3 is a work in progress...

For those of us who know what Beta software is, can anyone give detailed differences?
I'm getting frustrated with the Android auto bugs (resets theme every time you connect, randomly disconnects). Hoping they're fixed in beta 3?

Super helpful post here defining a beta and stable.
You really think the Op didn't know the technical differences of the 2 definitions?
Come on man, he's obviously asking about specific features. Saying this **** isn't helpful.

I'll be honest, I completely missed Beta 3. Just hopped on 10.0.1. I'll switch back to beta at 4

After having tried both the beta 3 (What I'm currently using) as well as 10.0.1 they are the same, except for a few testing features. There is a new work balance mode that randomly appears disappears in the quicksettings menu. I think it's supposed to be India only. The Android auto theme bug isn't fixed. There's also some minor crash fixes for SUPER specific situations, like what's app notification settings causing crashes. There's also a few new options with Zen mode and game mode. Mostly just experimental stuff

Question Is it worth upgrading to Android 14 beta?

I would like to update to Android 14 beta, but I use my phone every day. Is it worth upgrading or are there still connection problems and other serious problems? Do all the applications work? I await advice from those who have already made the last update a few days ago. Thank you!

I've been pondering that exact question this week. Thanks for asking on our behalf...

I don't know. I have mixed emotions about it like some of it does work and it works well like all of the new little mods they threw in there and like all the little animations and such. Like I love it all, but I don't know. And some of these bugs like they're little too much. I don't know. I might wait a few weeks and then see how it looks and then decide because as of right now that's a solid no for me

The beta is somewhat stable now. I find some problems with phone calls and lower signal strength than android 13.

No, beta is just for testing. If u have work to do with your phone, stay away from beta
