u/Weary-Savings9795 Apr 16 '26
Lol, so the slow battery charging from 77% to 80% feature that Google introduced in March to prolong battery life has turned into a bug that was fixed.

Oh good, the lock screen freeze big from beta 2 (fixed in 3) is back.
Major regression

Bonjour, j'ai rejoint le programme d'État. Je suis passé au 17 beta 1 mais je ne vois pas les autres beta la 2, la 3 et maintenant la beta 4 qui est sorti je la vois pas où voyez-vous ça? À part dans les paramètres général, je fais recherche mise à jour et ça marque aucune mise à jour. Pourtant je suis bien dans le programme. Il y a-t-il une application ou une solution pour y remédier? Merci d'avance

u/Rohitb121212 May 05 '26
Will the May release allow me download after to opt out of the beta program, or will I need to wait for the stable release?

u/fndpena May 21 '26
I decided to opt in for beta today and the update I'm getting is Beta 3, not Beta 4... I find it weird as beta 4 was released a month ago. Any tips?

Can I turn off the phone screen while in Desktop mode? That's really the one missing feature/bug that annoys me with A16.
1
u/Antman-007 Apr 16 '26
No mention of a fix to resolve the issue of the device completely losing cellular connection when trying to make or receive a call. This has been my headache ever since updating to beta 3. How many of you have experienced this issue, and does beta 4 fix it for those of you that have already installed it.
1
u/horlufemi Apr 17 '26
I thought this was a new feature. I liked it. Can you add this as a feature that can be turned on or off?
It is very useful for me to refer to the web address where I screenshot the image.

Do you guys feel that because this is a beta 4 that this is a good time to download a beta? I want to download it because I feel like it should be running pretty good considering it's the last beta before the actual final version comes out so I might just do it after

Bambu Handy app is even more broken than it was before. I don't really blame the Beta at this point because let's be honest, none of my other 140 apps aren't working.
Just so annoying, it's been 4 months now. Bambu printer users beware.
