General Android 13 QPR1 Beta 2 - Google Pixel 6a

Here is the skinny on the latest beta. I'm not inclined to run betas but seeing the improvements and Google saying it's stable to run as a daily I'm seriously considering it. Has anyone bit on this yet? One major reason I'd like to try it is the fixed FPR from unlock to adding a new one. Well anyway, here is the straight dope.
All the small and big changes in Android 13 QPR1 Beta 2

edit: I just bit the bullet and enrolled. I'll post later or tomorrow with initial thoughts and results. Naturally, I flipped the OEM switch. ;-)
Edit 2: first time in a month I could add a finger print. Instant unlock finally.
Edit 3: Beta 2 released today

This is amazing! My finger print scanner works so fast now and every time. Love it

I agree Fingerprint Rec is now Fixed.

Running Beta with the MVK kernel - smooth as butter.

Is the September update an update for the beta?

No.

I stand corrected. I hate in display finger print scanners. They may work good without a screen protector, I don't know because I always use one. But get a little dirt on it or dry or wet finger, and it's bad. I like it much better on the power button or back.

Did you happen to re-register all your fingerprints after putting a screen protector?
If so, then yeah, bummer. I hear ya.
If not, try that and let us know how it behaves then

Rather than start a new QPR1 Beta thread I just changed it to Beta 2 which was just released. Installing now and I'll post if I see any major differences. Beta 1 has been rock solid so I'm not sure what they needed to fix but we'll see.

Downloading now - I too thought QPR 1 was rock solid - no issues over here at all.

Super quick it seems. FPR is even quicker imo. Network rock solid, instant connect too. Predictive back now working and clear recents is fixed. Need to run through paces but looking really good so far.

Yeah buddy - let's ride!

I cannot figure predictive back on beta 2. Phone app updated to 9.0 as well. The transitions are super fast and some are animated. The phone is very responsive. Fpr 100% so far but now I jinxed it. Damn. It's like a different phone but ymmv.
edit: Turned it off then back on, updated all apps and now predictive back works on the phone app so far. It's pretty cool, try it.

Good stuff...I'm in!

[Q] Sooo laggy...

:crying:
Love the look and feel of the phone. But, its really really slow and lags ALOT. I've factory reset three times now and no difference. Really frustrating because I wanna love this phone. No one seems to mention this in any reviews. I have the t-mobile version btw. Any ideas?

Is it stock? Did you root it?

I find it has a little more lag than the S5 I had, not enough to return it. Maybe Lollipop might fix, or a small update from Samsung.

I guess maybe root will make it better. Or wait for OTA update. Early review do mention the lag and wish official launch module can be better. Seems not the case here.

So you root the phone and disable lots of staff, does it lag still?
Honestly the only lag i see is when clicking on recents button. It takes a sec or 2 to show. I am rooted, xposed, using Wanam, Gravity Box, and Blurred System Ui modules. Couple of my own mods and i removed all apks i do not use, froze sfinder in tibu.
Make sure you unlock development options by tapping on build# a few times in settings about, then lower all 3 animation values to .5 and make sure gpu rendering os UNCHECKED. Then go into svoice and click settings. In svoice settings UNCHECK open svoice via home key. Those 2 things should def help you a bit, and is pretty much as far as you can go without root. Also dl Greenify and hibernate all iser apps only. GL hope it gets better for you. If you need help with anything pm me.

Ok I did that, will reboot and see if anything changes. Thanks for the tip

Weord.
I don't get any lag. It's faster note 3 and just flows smoothly.
I did disable s voice, flipbook, lookout, and all tmobil crap tho.
I notice a bit of lag when in Facebook/Messenger and when I type really fast on the stock Samsung keyboard it seems to lag a bit and tries to catch up, resulting in typos.
How do you disable Flipboard?
T-mobile note 4 here, had a white note 4 about a week ago and in comparison, just as smooth if not smoother. Also sidenote, build quality is so much better, perfect screen and bezel levels, note 4 was uneven all the way around.

Press and hold on the home screen
Then click home screen settings
There will be an option to remove it from home screen.
Also you can go into development options and make the animation shorts.

I haven't noticed any lag to point of where it is annoying. You should just return the phone, and get something else. There are a lot of other phones to choose from, but none of them are like the Note Edge.
I am hating the metal. Same as my wife's Note 4. So much more prone to hairline scratches than the plastic used in previous Note 3!! WTF! I knew that going metal would suck except to satisfy the 'OMFG I NEED METAL" fans. ARGH!

If you don't like the build/metal, then just return the phone. No one is forcing you to use it.

I expected this kind of response. I do like the look of the device and I'm keeping it because I love the software and spen. Note user stove n7000, not going to abandon something because of one flaw.

The build quality is not flaw. The metal is there to add strength to design of the edge. I had a Note 3 and the Edge is better than it in every way.
I am liking the edge as well but too can attest to the lag after root. I have to mod if i can. But still worth it. Thanks CHAIN

Stock, non rooted. It's weird any browser I use just lags. Slow response to any touches. My stock non rooted note 3 runs much smother side by side on all major browsers. Might try to maybe call up t-mobile for a replacement. Already disabled all unnecessary apps too.

Let's talk about newer batches (September/October)

Greetings everyone!
I want to talk about the Pocophone in their respective batches. I've been researching mainly about the issues that are present in the Pocophone. Many have said that there are issues regarding the screen (side of the screen latency, multi-touch, screen bleeding, etc.) are prominent. Some have said they have replaced their phones for at least thrice and the problem still persists. Some have also said that MIUI 10 fixed theirs, but some still have problems. Even installing custom ROMs proves ineffective. So it's safe to assume that some Pocophones have hardware issues and some do not.
From what I've read, August batch (The first batch released) has most of the problems. But I have no information regarding the people that bought a Pocophone with a manufacturing date from either September or October (The manufacturing date is located at the back of the box, written at the bottom right). You see, I've read an article implying that newer Pocophone batches does not have the issues. I want to make sure whether that is the case.
So I humbly request you people to please state which variant of the Pocophone you are using (6/64 GB, 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB)
and also the manufacturing date of your Pocophone. Also include if you encounter touchscreen issues.
You can try these to verify if your Poco has an issue:
1. Type "qu" as quick as you can. The result should be: quququququ and not quuquqquuquq. (You can use any keyboard as long as you're tapping a letter which is placed closely to the edge of the screen.)
2. Download the "Real Drum" application and try tapping the two "KICK" drums alternatively as fast as you can and make sure to stay at a constant beat to witness the delays. (Better observed when pressed at the sides).
3. Try installing a custom ROM or MIUI 10 and try these steps.
THANKS!

Now try to long press on q or p from very edge.
Then press from middle of q and p..
You will notice difference..
.
. @op : as per my testing on 10+ pocos, every device having this issue,ie right and left edges recognize touch after you lift finger.
But only fewer are detecting this because only few are used to type from edge.
My first poco manuafactured august and has keyboard issue. I am replaced with a september manufacturing date no more problem now. Ququququququququququququququququququququququququququququququququququ.... Thats a super fast qu. I am on 8.11.1 rom.
I am pretty sure that bug was because of full screen gestures, I have an old batch version running los 16 and there is no such bug anymore.

It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Keyboard works fine after switching back to On-screen Navigation. It's the full-screen gestures interfering. (on MIUI 9.6.25)
I have July batch no touch screen or bleeding issue
Mine is 6/128 global version batch September 09/2018 and:
1. quququququququququququququququququququququququququququququq
quququququququuquqququququuqquququuqquuqquuququququqququququququuquqqu
(*with on screen buttons*
ququququququququququququququuquqququququququuqquuquqquququuqququququququququ
still the same.)
as you can see there is a touch delay on the edge of the screen sometimes but very slight.
2. Real drums taps lag when taping on the edge of the screen.
3. All these have been tested on my phone with MIUI 9 global stable and MIUI 10 developer from xiaomi.eu.
I have to say the issue appears to be smaller in the MIUI 10 developer, i will be trying the Android 9 developer soon and see if anything has changed.
I have the 6/64 global version with version batch September 09/2018 on MIUI 10 stable and i don't have screen bleeding or lag when taping on the edge of the screen
July batch here, global, 6/64, black sapphire. I have all the problems, i.e. bleeding (mild though, I've seen people having worse) and touch lag.
For people who want to check the latency by quickly typing 'qu' or 'pr' - you must do it like REALLY fast. Almost immediately but just a millisecond earlier push q or p. I have yet to see a person prove on video that they don't have these issues. I don't mean to offend anyone but my belief is that every unit has it but not everybody can notice it. Could someone without touch issues kindly upload a video showing it? If some units indeed don't have it then I think it's safe to say we have a hardware issue on our hands.

Is it yours? If so, then thank you very much. Unfortunately, I can see that you have the latency issue as well. The keyboard produces 'uq' many times and Real Drum test also shows touch lag and inconsistency.

Yes, its mine and you are welcome. Well, like you said many doesn't notice this. It is ok for my eyes but i will do the same tests with my girlfriends Lg G4 and report back.
Mine is from July, the first batch. I bought it on France when it was released.
- slight Bleeding edge with gray background.
- I notice the problem on real drummer, but it never bothered me.
Despite everything, I don't regret my purchase.

Can you or anyone provide a poco box photo with prod. date ?
I will respectful disagree and say that every Pocophone made until now have touch issue and screen bleeding. About screen, some are less proeminent and others more. But every Pocophone have it.
About touch, every Pocophone have exaclty the same issue. But some people are less capable to notice than others and that's about how you use the keyboard or what version do you have.
Hope that Xiaomi fix touch issue. Screen Bleeding is a hardware problem and it will never be fix even if you try to change it.

One more thing even if we find faults in these tests is it even practical to type at these crazy speeds.

I just chewed OnePlus OUT hARD got like 45 minutes

I chatted with oneplus chat and I called them up and I let them know that the fact that they gave us always on display for the first week of this phone and then took it away permanently was out of line, and I let them know that I did not upgrade to the OnePlus 6t just because it didn't have always on display. I would not like to double tap my screen to turn the fingerprint scanner on I think that's ridiculous and 1 + imotto is never settle yet we don't have always on display. I told them oxygen OS is getting stale looking and I do not like the way it looks, I told them the settings icons are ugly they don't look like stock Android pie to me at all, they're moving farther away from stock Android pie in my opinion. I told them it's not all about speed and battery it's about features and I think they're features are lacking. (Like I can't even search for an icon when I try to apply a custom icon, so instead I have to manually search for the icon) I told them I'm sick of having to get an invitation to buy something and never being able to purchase anything because always invitation-only or sold out. I said I didn't like being teased with launch events & watching everybody getting all this swag and I'm never able to purchase any of it. I told them that they need to get always on display like next week like now, I told them they need always on display ASP, I told them I want always on display and I told them again. I do not want a phone that does not have always on display. Ever again. So we should be getting always on display now shortly. You're welcome
Also I told them that I'm sick of them never releasing the proper blobs for the open betas so the developers can make a proper kernel for the open betas, I told them that's ridiculous, that's our favorite part about the phone, the kernels, and they never release the blobs for the community.
I told them I like to have peace of mind when I install a kernel and I don't like installing kernels I'm not sure is going to work properly with the newest beta release of oos, I said they need to fix that immediately. I told them I skipped the 6t & got the pixel 3 XL instead because I think the 6t is hella wack. If it would have came with always on display I would have bought it but it didn't and that's ridiculous. I'm sick of settling. There's more to a phone than speed and decent battery life. I like features. I like always on display. if you can believe this the OnePlus 6t doesn't even have always on display, no LED blinker and you got to double tap the screen to unlock it with your fingerprint. Wtf
They think we're stupid. The OnePlus 6 is much better than the OnePlus 6t for sure. If I'm going to spend $600 on a phone I wouldn't mind spending another hundred more to get everything I would like on the phone feature wise. I told them to stop trying to act brand new. I told them their cases look the same every year, their so 2014 and played out looking, they need to update their look of oxygen OS and their cases. I'M SO SICK OF EBONY WOOD & CARBON. I told them if they fix this next time they release a phone I'll buy it. but I'm not going to spend hours a day fixing my phone because they won't release the proper blobs for all their open bettas. We should start a campaign where they bring us always on display by December. how are we going to live in a world where are phone doesn't have always on display. this is torture no always on display is torture & we're definitely settling. That goes against everything OnePlus stands for. We're living without always on display, can you believe that, I don't like that janky rigged always on display mod either, the brightness is never right and it's only available for the stable releases of oxygen OS because they won't release the damn blobs. If I could have always on display a decent-looking interface for oos launcher with the settings icons looking like stock Android and not final fantasy 7, I'd be happy.
I need always on display and I need my settings icons to look like Android pie it's driving me crazy the way the settings icons look. I need blobs for my developers so I can start donating my a** off again. you guys know that the settings icons are so ugly and you know it bothers you too.
the settings icons are freaking ugly they're ugly ugly
the settings icons are ugly

Come on everybody you know you really want always on display back it can easily be added back and you know the settings icons are super ugly come on how ugly are the settings icons. We would all be 20 times happier with always on display and normal looking Android pie settings icons. I can't just be me that is getting irritated with that. I flash a custom rom in the settings icons look so cool

Lol
They did burn us on the Aod though, and they never release the blobs for their open betas so we never get a completely working beta kernel. They're starting to cut too many corners. I'm really glad I skipped a 6t and just stuck with my 6 & went with the pixel XL 3 unlocked instead. I would really hate to have to double tap my screen just to turn on the fingerprint scanner. I did a pretty good job though of letting them know we want Aod back. I'm pretty sure they're going to be giving us Aod soon. And I bet they're going to get us a new settings icons too. I like always contact OnePlus chat so they know me really good so I'm pretty sure they sent the memo to the software team.I contacted OnePlus chat like 500 times in the last 6 months, I really like phones, OnePlus irritate me today because they wouldn't let me buy the backpack without an invitation code, I asked them "why they're trying to act brand new" and I told them there ebony wood & karbon cases are played out I was like I like the just black case the Google pixel offers. I told them this is getting really stupid that I have to win a competition to get an invitation to buy something or tap the phone 90,000 times to win something. I told them i don't have aod and the settings icons are ugly and no open beta blobs. Trust me they told the software team. I think the only way they might not give us the aod is they couldn't do it with the 6t for some reason, then they wouldn't give us that feature if they couldn't do it with the 6t. I don't know I need to get over it I got a pixel XL 3 who cares right it's just really annoying that I have to always fix my OnePlus 6, workout bugs trial and errors with all their bettas and no aod and now I got a winning invitation go to buy backpack. Their smoked out over at OnePlus. There's more to a phone than being really fast and have not having a lot of bloat. They have no features on this dang thing there's no features I hella like features and there's barely any features double tap to turn the screen off is a feature. I'm sick of trying to edit things and build props to get it things to work I'm just over it by the way who is this and why am I still talking to you my bad
OnePlus was the business in 2015 and 2017 but let's face it all good things come to an end and OnePlus definitely switching it up on us. The least they could do is give us stock Android look instead of this final fantasy 7 looking OS

I like always contact OnePlus chat so they know me really good so I'm pretty sure they sent the memo to the software team.I contacted OnePlus chat like 500 times in the last 6 months, I really like phones, OnePlus irritate me today because they wouldn't let me buy the backpack without an invitation called and I told him this is getting really stupid I have to win a competition to get an invitation to buy something and the odds are hella stacked against me and I don't have aod and the settings icons are ugly and no open beta blobs I told them. Trust me they told the software team. I think the only way they might not give us the aod is they couldn't do it with the 6t for some reason, then they wouldn't give us that feature if they couldn't do it with the 6t. I don't know I need to get over it I got a pixel XL 3 who cares right it's just really annoying that I have to always fix my OnePlus 6, workout bugs trial and errors with all their bettas and no aod and now I got a winning invitation go to buy backpack. Their smoked out over at OnePlus. There's more to a phone than being really fast and have not having a lot of bloat. They have no features on this dang thing there's no features I hella like features and there's barely any features double tap to turn the screen off is a feature. I'm sick of trying to edit things and build props to get it things to work I'm just over it by the way who is this and why am I still talking to you my bad

Yeah bro. You rock! I know for a fact that the guys at OnePlus have a separate register for you because my uncle actually works there and he was telling me about you. Recently they actually launched a new subteam dedicated to listening to your responses because you are "the voice of the consumer" and you are known for "intense and to the point criticism that is extremely constructive". Every time you contact them there is a dedicated line opened for you and someone from the sub team is always on call to take input. Your reports are actually read by all of the upper management and not just the software team. We need you and more people like you to support us consumers man. I'm sure because of your efforts we will see AOD and AOSP settings icons added in the next update. In fact, and this is confidential information that could get my uncle fired, based on your reports, Carl Pei actually greenlit the secret update that enables the prototype in screen fingerprint scanner that is present in the OnePlus 6. Pretty cool huh?
I don't get it why AoD is so important for some people..

? I I usually don't criticize them actually, just lately I've been criticizing them. I just don't think it's too much to ask to have aod on our phones. It's a pretty basic feature.and I just started complaining about the settings icons. I doubt OnePlus team knows about me but their chat definitely knows me.lol

have you seen the OnePlus aod it's the coolest one I've ever seen it's got the red ones it is so fly, it makes me so upset that I can't have that feature always-on cuz it is so cool looking. It's way cooler looking than my pixel aod.

Android 11.0 Pixel 4a Touch Sensitivity Issue (inaccurate touches)

Ever since upgrading to Android 11.0, immediate issue has been the sensitivity of the touch screen.
Scrolling up and down will randomly select a link or an item on the page i was scrolling. This seems really evident when you open Google when you scroll all the way to the left. Start scrolling up and down and see if you get errant presses. Seems to be happening a lot on the right hand side of the display where the touches get inaccurate.
I'll be really frank here.... Google sucks at testing and pushing stable updates...

I am still on the 11 beta. When I switched from android 10 to 11 beta I had this issue. Taking off my screen protector solved this issue although I don't want it to be a permanent solution

Got my 11 update this afternoon and have been playing with the phone since. Updated all apps that were available to update, then shut down the phone and restarted. Haven't noticed what you are talking about at all. Just went into Google, as you mentioned, and haven't seen any issues. Will keep an eye on it; but my first thought is if there is an installed app causing issues....

I tried the beta last week and this happened to me. I have to go back to 10 and reinstall everything. I might wait a week or so for others to respond before I trust 11 again.
I found out that they made changes to pixel 4 related to touch sensitivity (making it more aggressive). Wondering if that is what's affecting it.
Just upgraded my 4a to 11 today and I'm having the same issue. Also noticed it on the launcher...long press on an app to drag it just immediately opens the app. Just trying to type this post is a struggle. Touch sensitivity and accuracy is all messed up.
Clearly Google has an issue on their hands. Guess will need to escalate this to tech journalists so that they do something about it
Not having this issue. On A10 I felt touch and especially navigation swipes were a tad insensitive relative to other devices. On several occasions I contemplated regressing to 3-button navigation (ugh). A11 fixed that making navigation feel natural again. No problem with taps - yet.
Right/left swipe sensitivity can be controlled in settings on A11. Left mine at default.
Stock 4a w/Nova Prime. Spigen armor case (slightly raised edges). No screen protector.
This issue is getting reported a bunch on www.reddit.com/r/Pixel4a. I personally had the issue pop up a few weeks ago after I installed 11 beta 3. Downgrading back to 10 fixed it.
Some people have said the issue goes away if you remove your screen protector but obviously that isn't the real solution if your phone was working fine prior to the update.
I just posted this question lol i wish i seen your post before. Im dealing w same issue, kind of feel better at least knowing im not the only one dealing with it lol
I think all the touch problems are related to Google Assistant, this app is just too busy messing things up. I use Nova, turned the Assistant off but it was still showing up with a prompt/notification on the bottom telling me to turn it on. So I have disabled the entire Google app and I don't see the Assistant anymore, all is good. Google Play, Pay, Maps etc..., the things I need they all stay intact. And btw, I don't use screen protector.

The only issue I've found is that they seemed to have changed the swipe logic on the homescreen launcher, it acts like it's looking for a slightly different gesture. My muscle memory for quickly accessing overview had to be tweaked slightly, but I've gotten used to it.
I'm not noticing other issues with screen sensitivity. I have an OtterBox Commuter case and the "OMOTON" glass screen protector on my 4a. I adjusted the back swipe sensitivity because the lip of my case is fairly large but that's it.
I'm sorry to hear there have been issues with this

I'm assuming you're using a screen protector?
Try the new touch sensitivity toggle
It helped my touch issues to lower back sensitivity. Using LK brand tempered glass
This issue has been fixed. I think what's troubling is that it was fixed without needing an update... So what dynamic changes are being made within the OS without the need for an OTA update?
edit: nvm its back again. anyone else having touch issues again?
Can confirm. I'm having touch issues every now & then after update to 11.
Reddit has a thread with over 73 responses confirming the issue as well. Still waiting on Google for a fix.
I have same problem and it's so annoying, I also have a screen burn in almost 1cm by 1cmnafter one day of use and volume going up and down on it's own ???

Still no issues here. I am not downplaying those that have this (not at all!) but wonder if an app conflict is part of the cocktail. I do not use Google Assistant which some have implicated. Also have very few apps authorized for screen reading (albeit probably not a factor)
Edit: read on; screen protectors and heat appear to be contributing factors.
Sad to report this issue is NOT yet fixed. It appears to only happen when the phone heats up WITH a screen protector. Just played a game of Risk for about an hour and the problem came back. Just removed my Supershieldz screen protector and the problem is gone. When the phone cools down I'll add the screen protector back and the issue most likely won't come back until the phone heats up again. This never happened on Android 10, so something must have changed with the update. Hopefully it's just a simple software fix and not a hardware issue.

Question Scrolling issues

Been noticing that scrolling seems off. When scrolling through home pages, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 swipes to go to the next page. Anyone notice this?
Yes, same with swiping up on apps to close them. Seems you just need to swipe a little more aggressively/quickly though and all is well.
Yeah, I came from a 13 pro max and the scrolling was flawless. I feel like I have to keep my finger on the screen to finish a swipe on the pixel, it's pretty annoying.
Is it as noticable when you turn off Smooth Display?
I just tried it with smooth display off and Ii works perfectly. Wonder if it's a bug
This is what happens.

It's one of the first things I turn off as I prefer speed over style but you're right in that there needs to be a balance or a fix. With it on, the phone feels slow/laggy especially scrolling down webpages
It's probably enough for me to return the phone. I can't go back to 60hz lol, it hurts my eyes. I wonder if the 6pro has the same issues.
So another bug, wondering if I made the right decision ordering one of these yesterday!
All new handsets have bugs, although this seems to have more than normal. Hopefully this one will quickly be fixed with an update. There is no way I'm spending the best part of £900 on a phone to only have the screen usable on 60hz.

I'm wondering if the non-pro 7 has the same issues.

As it only has a 90hz screen it could be less prevalent.

Yeah. **** I'm really wondering if it was the right decision to get the 7 Pro instead of the non-pro..
Can't say I've noticed an issue. What refresh rate is being displayed when you scroll?
Went to my local Currys and played around on the demo unit there for around 20 minutes. Really like the feel of it, looking forward to getting mine now.
Anyway, for what it's worth I found absolutely no evidence of this issue with smooth display enabled. Everything worked fine on web pages and in the UI (settings menu for example) with the scrolling silky smooth and zero lags, stutters or delays in touch responses.

Definitely some weird scrolling issues. Maybe it's on an old fw or because it's on demo mode and processing etc is bumped up to max. I wonder if they're messing about with the touch boost to try and increase battery life?
Here is what I'm talking about.
