Mildwild 14 bugs. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, has anyone else had a problem with screen lock/ unlock sounds, can't remember which one was not working, but even when checked in sound settings menu, one did not work. Also, the Superuser app had a problem with the UI, where you could not scroll across the display from one tab to another at the top of the window and sometimes you could not manually select the tab by tapping on it. Gone back to mildwild 5 until an update to 14 that solves all bugs appears. Thanks all!

When my superuser app updated itself all those problems you described were fixed, so try updating
Another bug I found in camera was when you try and change the brightness of the shot it force closes app.
One more is when reading text messages it sometimes flickers white/black.
Apparently he is working on a new rom for us, Can't wait!

No problems here except for the cpu settings when i try to adjust the min or max freq or governor i get a force close. Done a full wipe but still the same, it's been like this for me since version 12.

Mildwild 14 update
Some requests to the Great Mildwild.
Unfortunately I'm so satisfied that I've posted too few posts to post in MW forum.
I'm using Redux2 mod from 2012, then moved to Mildwild10, finally to MW14.
Quick settings menu:
- could you add rotation features that's the only feature lacking?
Phone application:
- it seems to be slower to appear when ringing like it were with a low priority
- the bigmouth is not so funny, could you get back a standard face?
Gmail app:
- unread messages are not differentiated, it seems that the bold characters are missing
General:
I'm experiencing some slef reboot, but I'm not able to understand if it's caused by any app or OS.

My experience is that the launcher negatively affects the mod.
Personally I use Holo Launcher instead of Xperia, that was tricky on all version.

Nor do I, never experienced such problems.
After modding with MW 14 and restoring through Titanium Backup, I had to wipe camera data. You can try.
I prefer ICS Camera and Gallery that were used in original Redux and got from the market.
The ICS Camera is more flexible, quick access to setup and less iOS style.
The ICS Gallery is less show, but thumbnails appera more clear on small screens.

Bluetooth A2DP
Hello, I'm using this rom for 3 weeks and it's working properly for me, but recently I've trying to use a new bluetooth car hands free device and it works properly for calls, but whenever I try to use it's A2DP feature to listen my phone's music with my car radio speakers, it doesn't work. My phone's music Player doesn't stream music through bluetooth, it only uses phone's speakers. Does anybody know if there's something that must be done to stream music through bluetooth, or the problem is that this feature is not really working in this rom? Any solution?

busybox
Once the rom is installed, a step I usually take soon is the upgrade of busy box. More than once it has helped me to vaporize strange behaviors.

ICS-4.0.4 XperiaCM (UNLOCKBOOTLOADER) - TOUCHPAD AND GAMEPAD WORK + UPDATE

XPERIA PLAY ROM: ICS-4.0.4 XperiaCM (UNLOCKBOOTLOADER) - TOUCHPAD AND GAMEPAD WORK + UPDATE
Hello, everyone.
I've tried to post this to the thread mentioned on the title, but I wasn't allowed cause I'm a new member. Then, I'll post here:
I've been testing this ROM for 2 weeks and it feels very fluid, fast and stable. It's the best ICS ROM I've tried so far.
Everthing works fine... except for 02 minor details:
1) The wifi access point seems not to work. Everytime I try to enable it, it gives me the msg: The com.android.phone process stoped.
2) The R/L buttons are configured to work with the camera. Thats fine. The problem though, is that they still do that even if the camera is not on. I mean, if you push the R button when you playing a game (MC3, for instance), it calls the camera and closes the game. I've tried to freeze the camera when I want to play. Now the game doesn't close, but it lags as the system tries to call for the camera app. P.S.: This problem doesn't seem to happen with NOVA3.
Well, if the developer could take a look at that, it would be great.
Aside for that two minor problems, the ROM works like a charm. Its perfect. I loved the new status bar drop menu. That quick panel helps a lot.
P.S.: If anyone could help me, posting this on the ROM original post I would be grateful. :good:
Thanks

Screen off during calls
Just installed this for a friend yesterday. While she is on a call the screen turns off and stays off. She has to pull the battery to end the call, is anyone else experiencing this behavior? She downloaded an app to test the proximity sensor and the app showed that it wasn't working. I'm assuming that these may be related.
Keyboard Changer
Thanks dev for providing us with LP 5.02
Was running the 0105 build before the 0118 came out. Clean flashed the 0118 build and I was not able to change the keyboard, it keeps FC.
Main reason why I want to change it, is because the stock AOSP keyboard doesn't have swype typing functioning. The option is there (gesture typing) but it doesn't work. I would have to install the google keyboard and use that for swype to work.
Also, probably not a big issue but the google play movies & tv doesn't work.
Great ROM thus far though, thanks!
Failed to flash
I was trying to flash up from 4.1.1 is there extra steps I need to take? I also have a 4.1.2 modem.
I got it flashed after updating twrp. Next question is there a task manager? How do I close open apps?
I love the look of this ROM, but every time I flash lollipop on my T0ltetmo, I get Google TV and Movies force closing repeatedly. Has that been fixed in the new nightlies? What can I do to track down the issue?
T889 Note 2 constantly rebooting
I have just installed the ROM on my tmobile Note 2, and everything was fine except for the fact that is constantly returns to the android splash screen.
System profiles bug
Any chance you guys can fix the system profiles bug where WiFi fails to turn on if the profile also turns on Airplane Mode? I think you inherit it from a CM bug (BACON-1188, can't post a link) that has been ignored for a few months now.
I'm pretty sure the fix is as simple as moving mAirplaneMode.processOverride(context); up by ~10 lines in doSelect(Context context) in frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/Profile.java (line ~750) , but I can't currently get 5.0.2 to build at all so I have no way of testing.
My experience after a day on Nameless
I was running a stock Samsung Android 4.3 ROM on my Note 2, which had become so slow and unusable that I finally took the plunge and switched to Nameless. Here my results:
Used TWRP 2.7.2.0 without any issues
Followed the instructions on the OP for wiping and formatting
I used nameless-5.0.2-20150201-t0lte-NIGHTLY for the ROM
And gapps-lp-20141109-signed for Google Play
The whole process went really smooth, and everything came up fine the first time. I was ready to claim victory until I decided to add a second Google account (I keep two separate accounts, one for Personal and one for Work).
Right at the end of adding the second account I suddenly started getting dozens of Google Play Movies & TV has stopped working popups. First they came really fast and then slower and slower until the Note 2 eventually froze up and I had to take out the battery to restart it. Once the system had booted up the same thing started again, Movies & TV endlessly crashing until the system was frozen after about 1 minute.
The third time around I managed to quickly navigate to the Apps settings and disabled the Movies & TV app (since you can't uninstall it). Before I could finish it froze up again but this time after restarting it was good again. Interestingly it didn't actually disable the Movies & TV app, but it looks like it had wiped its cache, which must have been enough to get it back to stable mode. I have a feeling adding the second Google account synced something into it that messed it up. However, on the Work account that I added there are no Movies or TV shows at all, but my Personal account has some.
Just thought I should share this since it doesn't seem anyone else mentioned it on the thread yet. I'll post again if I hit any other issues. This is my main phone and Android device which I use all day long, so if there are issues, I'll find them
Thanks a lot for providing this ROM, other than my small issue it's like a billion times faster and better than before, awesome!!
Does anyone know how do I get the headset volume higher? It is kinda low. Everything else seems perfect in volume.
The ROM is perfect!

I had the same thing, but was able to fix it by wiping the cache for the Movies & TV app in the App settings! If that doesn't work for you and you don't really need the app, you can also Disable it in the App settings, which should keep it from trying to launch.
Day 2 experiences
This is a follow up from my previous post with day 1 experience after installing this ROM.
I've been seeing some graphics rendering issues which have led to the device freezing up requiring battery pull
Sometimes when scrolling in Google Chrome the bottom of the screen looks all scrambled, but refreshes and looks fine once I stop scrolling. No lock-ups from this.
Games that play video ads are my #1 problem. If I'm lucky the video ad will play but the colors look all messed up, a mix of black and white and green flashing. If I'm unlucky, the video won't play and the device freezes up instead.
Any way to fix this?
I also had an issue with the keyboard Gesture Typing not working, which I resolved by installing the official Google Keyboard app from Google Play and use that instead of the Android Keyboard (AOSP) that came with the ROM, even though they look and work exactly the same and have the same settings. And even though I didn't have any issues, I did the same for the Google Camera app, where I installed the Google Play version instead of the built-in one, even though it looks and works exactly the same.
This ROM is awesome! I waited until last week then made the jump, thought I'd let all you "release freaks" deal with it first. Except for a couple of crashes in the first two days this has been very stable. Everything works for me.

You can use the AudioFX app to boost the volume for your headset, that's probably the easiest way if the regular volume control doesn't go loud enough for you.
Thank you but I already tried that by turning up the EQ to the highest. It's hard to hear someone if the surroundings are loud. I have been using the speaker to get by at work.
NamelessRom 2.0
Why is there no OTA update integrated within the settings. This Rom is great one of my favorites. We as users should be able to get quick fixes and updates as soon as they're released. The quicker we can get these updates the faster we can help make this better, faster, and truly more efficient.
Otg is not working and screen cast is not working . any fix available ?
Update:
screen cast will work through Chromecast app but will not when using the toggle .
Otg works but device must reboot to use it the second time
Are there any kernels with sound mods . I tried boeffla control but it stated , not supported .
Update: AGNi pureCM OC v3.0.3 works great it's found in the N7105 forum
Gear S wont pair to Samsung Gear App
I installed this rom on my phone and I have a gear s and I have read other posts trying to get Gear app to work on Lollipop.
I got the app installed successfully, but every time I try to connect the watch to the app, it says "unforuntalty, HostManger has stopped"
What can I do to get the watch to pair up with the app?

Tornlogic said:
So I have installed the update and did some quick benchmarks before and after the update. Interesting results. So naturally the benchmarks that happened in the morning were before I installed the update and the ones in the afternoon were after I installed the update.
As for the battery benchmark, I simply ran each test for 1 hour 10 minutes. So yea, the new update provided better battery performance but worse single core... by a little. Multi-core was a tad better with the new update. This of course is not all inclusive results, as I only ran one benchmark, and that has no indication of real-life performance. If I don't notice anything drastic in the next few days, I won't post anything else here, otherwise I will keep you posted.

I ran geekbench yesterday and did not see any real difference in singlecore or multicore performance (both +- about 5 points difference to last firmware).
Auto-brightness works much better now. Also it looks like "GPS icon staying forever" bug is gone for me.
Smart lock option is empty in my sony Xperia xz1? What should I do?
EDIT:
I was able to find the answer here: Yes, I would continue to receive OTA updates for the currently installed firmware.
Original question:
Having purchased the XZ1C in the USA, if I were to flash the ...12.75 Customised DE (for instance), would I no longer receive subsequent OTA updates? Thanks.
Hello
Update installed this evening (French time).
Good news, the update file is only 112Mo to download OTA.
some new functionalities:
contact shortcuts have a small contact icon
URL shorcut looks like a Windows shorcut, with a small black Arrow at the bottom.
I have to test more now.

Disable Smart Lock (Google) in Trust agents, reboot, enable again. Should make Smart Lock available again, but it may (probably will) go blank again.

On reboot, persistent GPS icon will not appear until certain applications make use of GPS-based location services (don't know which ones at this point). If the persistent GPS icon does appear, you cannot get rid of it until you reboot. I understand Sony is working on a fix.

The Kernel hasn't been updated in this release at all.
With this new firmware, I'm havin a weird problem.
Every time I reboot, the stock Sony weather widget needs to set location, EVERYTIME.
Is it just me...?
FWIW, No problems with Sony weather app setting location on my phone.
+1
No problems with the weather app here
Thanks!

Great! It worked for me. Thanks!
I wanted to try a different firmware, because of this bug...
Anyone else having problems with the stock clock app? It force closes when I try to open it (only on this firmware). The lockscreen clock and upper right corner of the status bar are unaffected - it's just the app that includes the alarm, timer, stopwatch, etc. I've worked around it by just using Timely for my alarm and stopwatch needs, but it would be nice to have the stock clock working.
No problem for me.
I just got the XZ1 (new from eBay), it had 47.1.A.2.313, I've updated to 47.1.A.12.34, looks good so far, and, this is Android 8.0.0.
I know there is at least one more update, perhaps the 47.1.A.12.75 mentioned in this thread. Is that Android 9.0.0?
I'll update to that, but not now, I'm using my phone. Is there any big change to the latest version?
This is my first Sony phone, since I used a Sony-Ericsson a long time ago.

Is Android P DP2 stable enough for daily driver?

I really want to get the beta. If people are running it, is it stable enough for daily use? Thanks
I've been using it for a few days now. I've not had and crashes or major issues. The only issues I've experienced are the recent apps screen sometimes not responding to touch when using gesture navigation (hit the home button and try again fixes) and the screen brightness is stupidly bright. Like really stupidly bright. I use it on the lowest setting all the time. Even with the slider at about 10% the screen is way too bright for me.
It is very stable, no major issues....just a few glitches like no weather in lock screen.
Yes, even dp1 was very good for my usage...
I agree that it is very stable for its age. If you use the Nova Launcher, you will not see apps in the drawer right now.
So from the sound of it, it would pass for daily driver. I rely on my phone for work heavily and want to make sure I can get by with the beta because I'm dying to try the new version
For me.... Yes. For others.... Maybe not. I can tell you it is very solid.
I am finding it to be quite solid. No issues at all so far after a few days. Battery life seems good too.

It's been usable without any crashes, reboots, or shutdowns. But given that it just came out yesterday, using it only for one day doesn't really give an idea if it's stable enough for everyday usage. A week of usage would give a better idea as phone/app usage can alter per day and cause some issues.
It's just silly to label something as "stable" after running it for less than 24 hours.
Hows the mic on recording with android P?
Mines been going pretty well... I'm using it as my daily driver. Only issues is a rare freeze when trying to switch apps. Shutting off the screen fixed it for me. And once the Bluetooth wouldn't connect properly to my car...a restart fixed it. Battery and everything else has been good.

Daily driver ready? Sure.. I had to bail due to some unforseen issues with a few core apps that I depend on. Sounds silly, but my visual voicemail with AT&T is important. A few other apps are acting a fool but nothing major. Just found a few things a bit wonky, if that's the right word? I'll flash again tonight though, it's what I do! See if I can figure out what's going on with the visual voicemail app. On 8.1 it just 'verifies' my info with AT&T via a text. On P it asks for a PIN which I enter, but it never does much else. Interesting!! Way too far off to complain to ATT though...
If you use Outlook and OneDrive, you might have issues. Can't open either and just get crashes.

I dont use Outlook, but OneDrive works fine for me. Maybe try uninstall/re-install, or clear app data.
I rarely use the MS app though, I prefer to just use Solid Explorer to access OneDrive.
I am having great experience with P beta..getting a dope battery life too..for a beta build! But the only issue i have is.. Snapchat crashes as hell! Leaving that..very good one as a daily driver..and very smooth too!
It's been very good for me. No app crashes except for Snapchat, which can be fixed relatively painlessly through a clear data and relogin, especially with autofill. I've also updated it to the latest beta that they updated on May 9th. No other apps have FC'd so far, but then again you may be using different ones. All the basic functionality works fine, camera, settings, etc. Only hiccup sometimes is the new multitasking setup will occasionally throw up a small stutter, but it quickly fixes itself.
The only issues I've noticed so far, and they're not that bad:
1) Bug with the Nova app drawer. You have to use "Card" or "Vertical Scrolling" to get your icons to appear, otherwise they're invisible (but still "clickable"). It's obviously a Nova Launcher "bug" and not a Android "P" problem though. The stock Launcher (and many other 3rd party launchers) work perfectly.
2) For me, the "upcoming alarm" appearing on the lock screen or at the top of the new quick tiles menu make no sense on my phone. The upcoming alarm on the lock screen always shows the current time + 10 minutes (For example if its' 9:04PM, the upcoming alarm will show 9:14pm) In the quick tiles menu, the next alarm always shows "00:00am" or "06:00am" randomly. The alarms work normally. Cosmetic bug
Can someone confirm they're experiencing the same problem?
3) Here and there, you'll notice the animations can be sluggish and not as smooth as with Oreo, the screen takes a little bit longer to turn on and unlocking the phone with the fingerprint scanner is a little bit slower than with Oreo. It's not unbearable though, just noticeable
4) I have an "iBaby" monitor in my son's room and from time to time, the app will FC right after launching, but will launch normally 2 seconds later. I'll blame the app for that and not Android.
Otherwise, battery life is great, the phone is very stable (no FCs on Android processes and 99,999% of the apps I use), it feels fast (except for some sluggish animations I mentioned before), phone calls work, camera works great, Quick Charge works, Google Cast / Chromecast work, no major issues so far
Overall, it's pretty stable for an early beta and I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it a lot. All the small refinements it comes with already makes it superior to Oreo imo despite its beta status. Can't wait to give the DP3 a try next month
Samsung Gear doesn't work
Very good for me so far. Only been a day, but so far am actually liking it better than 8.1.0! Nothing making me feel that I'll go back.
Only thing - when I use Action Launcher, the back button never disappears from the navigation bar - even when on the home screen. Guess it perceives the phone as still having an app active.
Ah well, making me give stock launcher another chance - though I miss my covers and shutters ?

That sucks re: your visual voicemail - one of the first things I checked after flash. Happily it works on Telus here in Canada.

[US BETA 3][ZSL5] Official Android 10/UI 2 BETA for the US unlocked Note 10+ (N975U)

READ THE OP FIRST BEFORE POSTING!!
This thread is for discussing bugs, issues, work around, and suggestions for the beta for the US models. Please no discussion of the international models. There's already a thread for that, and I don't want to confuse bugs/fixes for the wrong model.
If you have the international model (N975F), please see @henklbr 's thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...laxy-note10-sm-n975f-official-oneui2-t3987433
Stay on topic. This thread is to discuss issues with the beta, not how to get it. There's already a couple threads for that as well. The basic step is to sign up for the beta in the Members App, or download the OTA from firmware.science. For further assistance, please see @tlbland0426 's thread at:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...available-note-10-unlocked-sm-n975u1-t4002783
When posting your issues, please state what software version you're on (current one is 2ZSL5), and if you did a dirty flash, restored data, or did a complete clean install.
I know this isn't an official channel to report to Samsung, but bugs discussed here can be forwarded to Samsung in the beta app.
Please read the OP and the entire thread before posting.
Been running the beta (ZSK3) for less than 24 hours. I did officially register, and started to download the OTA through device settings, but it requires WiFi. I was at a hotel and the WiFi there was achingly slow, so I went to firmware.science so I could just download the OTA with LTE, then manually flashed it through recovery.
I performed a clean install. Factory data reset, flash OTA, then another factory data reset. Then I set it up from scratch. I didn't restore anything.
Here is my experience so far:
Pros:
1. Dark Mode - I love the native system-wide dark mode.
2. Space below keyboard - I use gestures and GBoard, and I like how now even third party keyboards are pushed up a bit, and you have the keyboard switcher and close keyboard buttons.*
3. Charge Status Toggle - Ability to turn off the charge status. (Thank you Samsung!)
4. Fingerprint Icon Toggle - Ability to turn the fingerprint reader icon on or off.*
5. Improved Biometrics - Fingerprint reader seems to work MUCH better now. Even with the last few updates on Pie, my FP reader was almost worthless. Now it's nearly flawless.
Cons/bugs:
1. Brightness Slider - No longer able to display brightness control on top in the notification shade. I use the brightness slider a lot, and it's frustrating having to fully expand the notification shade when I want to adjust it.
2. Gestures - The new gestures aren't very intuitive. I prefer the gestures from Pie. I know I can still use those, but I'm really trying to get used to this style, since it's what Google will push everyone toward anyway. This system of gestures is Google fault not Samsung's.
3. Home screen Jank - I occasionally get issues with the home screen freezing. Seems to be when I'm having issues with the gestures, particularly getting Google Assistant to activate via swipe.
4. Syncing issues - There's several Samsung apps/services that will not sync. Samsung Pass, Samsung Internet. Samsung Contacts, and a few others. Under Samsung account settings, when trying to sync them, they say "syncing" then change to "Couldn't sync." This occurs in WiFi and cellular.
5. Disney+ - Not compatible from the Play Store. I was able to install it, log in, and watch movies with a work around, so I know it works. Not sure if this is Disney's problem, or Samsung's. I know it works on other devices running Android 10, so who knows.
6. Netflix - this could've been my issue. I was in the Netflix beta program, and Netflix installed, but kept telling me to update, then telling me it wasn't compatible. I had to leave the beta, and sideload an older version from apkmirror. Working fine now.
7. WiFi issues - It connects to WiFi just fine, but some apps wouldn't load or allow me to sign in while on WiFi. See below.
8.. VUDU - It would initially force close. I deleted and sideloaded an older version that would freeze on the load screen. Updated that version through the Play Store and it wouldn't force close, but would freeze. I was on WiFi and when I turned it off VUDU loaded. (WiFi was pulling 250 Mbps down, so it wasn't the issue).
9. Hulu - When I tried to log in, it kept saying couldn't reach server. Again, was on WiFi in a restaurant pulling 250 Mbps down. But once I shut off WiFi, it signed right in.
10. Full Immersive Mode - This option is still missing in Samsung Internet and most video apps. It works just fine in YouTube and Disney+. We should have the option of using full Immersive Mode at least in the internet browser. As far as movies, make the rounded corners on the black bar less rounded.
Disney+ app workaround. See below.

Yeah, it's not available in the Play Store on the beta. But I have found a workaround and got it installed and working.
Download all 4 files from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-QC8B-Cic3gU00CF3u1pYvP-zWZ663nG
Install the SAI.apk
After that has been installed open that app and then select Install APKs
Select the 3 other apk files that you downloaded then click Select (3) and it will install the working Disney+ app

" 1. Brightness Slider - No longer able to display brightness control on top in the notification shade. I use the brightness slider a lot, and it's frustrating having to fully expand the notification shade when I want to adjust it."
You actually can put it back on top, you just need to set this.
Just press the 3 dots when pulling the dropdown menu, then select the quick layout panel
No issues with Disney+ and Netflix either

Thank you!!! Not sure why they hid that option.
So you were able to download and install Disney+ from the Play Store while on the beta?

Yes no issues with that, but i cannot remember if i installed the apps before i upgraded...
One of the only real issues I'm having is with the new gestures, mainly the recent apps gesture. When using it straight from the home screen it works like 50/50 for me and sometimes causes OneUI Home to crash but using it when you have an app open it seems to work much better.
Edit: (2ZSK3 obviously). I got the OTA through the beta registration and had some issues because I had #hex installed so I did a factory reset. I did however restore everything from Samsung Cloud afterwards.

It still shows as incompatible in the Play Store for me. Go to the Play Store and look for Disney+. Below the unsintall/open buttons, tell me if you see a message in red lettering that the app is now incompatible with your device.

Yes, the recents gesture from home screen is very wonky. I had some home crashes too when I first installed and set everything up, and I actually wound up doing another factory reset to get rid of them.

I have been running the U1 firmware on my Verizon Note 10+ since the day it launched. It retains wifi calling, volte calling, and visual voicemail. The only thing missing that I've found so far is native video calling in the phone app but that wasn't a big deal to me as I never use it anyways.
Do you mind sharing how you were able to get Disney+ installed and working?

How'd I miss that! Thank you!
Also found doing factory reset after installing this that whatsapp would no longer verify my number.
So today I sent several feedback reports to Samsung through the OneUI beta app. Please keep the feedback coming. In my experience with past betas, Samsung really does listen to our feedback when it's directed through the proper channels.
Besides the new animations I don't see anything really worth writing home about. It's beta so there's quite a bit of bugs. Android auto on my android 10.25 screen exhibit a buzz and audio moving from car to phone sporadically. The new gesture navigation is not as easy to use. I much prefer using Pie control (which is not 100% compatible now) for launching home, recent, and back. One handed operation to swipe diagonally up to shrink the screen. Diagonally down to bring top of the screen down. I've also seen more battery drain and on screen fingerprint isn't as accurate anymore. Beta 2 is supposed those 2 things. The one UI lock up is also being addressed.
I'm hoping beta 2 will soon be releases for US unlocked. Otherwise, I think I will switch back but dreading that as it will factory reset my device.

Beta 2 was released this morning finally. I agree this is one of the buggiest betas I've tried in the last few years. I'm the opposite of you with the fingerprint reader though. It was almost useless on Android 9. On this beta it's much faster and more accurate. Works nearly 100% of the time for me. Although it seems more sensitive to the screen being dirty.

I took the OTA this morning and it seems to be running ok so far. The screen flickering was something I saw alot on beta 1 and that seems to be corrected. My battery life was pretty good on beta 1 also so I will have to see how this performs. Thought it was interesting it has the December security patch already.

My lack of patience and frustration with beta 1 got to me and downgraded to 9 over the weekend. However I did not deregistered for the beta just in case I want to try future betas. The one most frustrating for me was audio output going from car to phone and vice versa when using android auto. I did report it so maybe it will get addressed in beta 3.

You can also restore apps in Smart Switch if you had backed it up on Pie.
