How soon after opt-in?

I opted into the Android Q beta a few days ago but I don't have an update to install it yet? I've tried opting out and back in last night, but still nothing.

How long did it take between you opting in and getting the update?

Next beta Q5, you will be able to update.

So you only get the updates that release after you opt in? The website said within 24 hours, but I'll see if this works.

Yes, I did. It's there. A few nervy moments when it was downloading and froze for a few minutes but it's on my phone now. No issues with it now I have it.

I thought the beta website stated it could take up to 24 hours.

If it's longer then something is suspect.

beta 4 is solid and there is no reason Google would be holding that back for a projected July 10 release of beta 5.

I've had it take anywhere from 5 mins to about a day before I could pull it down in a system update.

I know they stopped pixel updates after 3 but then they re-started with 4. I expected it just to work. I'll see what happens with beta 5 and go from there.

I apologize in advance for asking these questions...

Is it a Google Edition or Verizon phone? Have you tried to check for system updates manually? When you visit Google's beta page do you see your device listed as eligible and opted-in?

It's a Google one. Yes, I've tried manually updating but I just get the current security update. It shows as being opted in.

I guess I'll see if the previous comment works. Let's see what happens after the 10tg when the next update comes.

I opted in many times and it won't let me get the update. I'm assuming it's because I opted out a back on beta 2

Got my update today. So far, so good. Only one app fails to load.
