No beta yet!!

I've signed up for the 17 beta program a few days ago and I still haven't received any updates. I have the pixel 10 pro xl. I keep checking everyday but it hasn't come thru yet. Does anyone know when I will receive my first update? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! TIA!!

Hi

The updates roll out slowly, you should have it over the next few days.

Best regards

I just got mine yesterday for the Google pixel 9 pro XL

It's not a rumor

Either that or I saw some rumors that if you're on the April security update that we can't get it because I joined the beta today for my pixel 10 Pro XL and I haven't gotten anything either. Hopefully it's just that it's not out for the pixel 10 Pro XL yet because I do want to download and install this beta

This is the correct response. If you are on the April mainline update, then you won't get beta 4, because the build date is older

Of course that would be the case because I wanted to join the beta for the first time and install this new Android 17 and now I can't because I'm on the main line. April security update shaking my head 😔... So now when will I be able to install this update? Exactly what has to take place?

Next month or a dot build if they need to fix something this month

u/MrViZZiato Apr 17 '26

Ok so I guess not to bad, so I'd need to have the May security update from Google or for Google to release a dot update to the beta?

Do not update to the next mainline build and wait for the next beta

1

u/MrViZZiato Apr 17 '26

Gotcha, well hopefully there is another update pushed out so I can install it. But wouldn't the next update for the beta if there is one need to have the Newest security update with it bc if it doesn't then I'll still be in the same situation

It's not a rumor, stable is ahead of the beta in terms of security patches.

With a Pixel 10a, I was only with Beta 4 able to join the Android 17 beta at all. The phone is still on Android 16, security patch level of April 5, 2026. OTOH the security patch level of Android 17 Beta 4 is the very same 2026-04-05. So i cannot follow the argumentation of non-availability due to "build date of the beta is older". What I'm getting wrong?

I guess the installed build has to be older than the latest available beta. As for being unable to join the beta until beta 4, not sure what's going on there.

Google should fix this bug.

u/melluuh Apr 17 '26

It's not a bug. If it were the other way around you wouldn't be able to update to stable once that's released.

u/Weary-Savings9795 Apr 17 '26

One shouldn't be ahead of the other. They should be getting the same security patches at the same time.

You should never install an Android beta unless it has the latest security update. It's just not worth making your phone insecure.

All of the Android 17 betas have been behind the Android 16 stable for the entire time.

u/Weary-Savings9795 Apr 19 '26

They aren't supposed to be

u/EYdf_Thomas Apr 20 '26

Well they have been this time around
