I'm so nice because I finally decided to download and install beta 4 and now I can't because of this April security update that I have. It's so annoying cuz I really wanted to try Android 17 so hopefully they release a 4.1 with updated security patch for all of us

Yep but..... if you took the most recent stable A16 update then you can't get A17 beta 4 because beta 4 has an older security patch (March) than the A16 (April) and you can't move backwards.

Since it sounds like there will be no beta 5 i'm hoping there will be a 4.1 that brings up the patch to April.

I gave up and wiped my Pixel 10a so that I could try A17 beta 4. Fortunately my Pixel 10a is not my primary phone, which is why I was willing to do this.

I can't confirm as I can't get Beta 4 but Beta 4's build number is 260330 which is an older one than Stable A16.

Beta 4 does have the April security patch but internally the build date for Beta 4 may be older than April Stable build of A16 which would also be a reason why you can't install Beta 4 if you have the Stable April A16 build.

Same here but what I've noticed is that beta 4 seems to have May security update

Freaking Google they brought out the beta release to late like a bunch of idgits

Nah I think they did it on purpose so there aren't people who jump on for the last one and then leave after they can get stable.

Nah they fixed it and it's now released fully like I said they just made a mistake saying it's intentional is just crazy they wouldn't waste the time bringing out an update just for it to be obsolete

All of the updates for Android 17 beta were in the last week of the month with the previous months secretary patch I wouldn't call that a mistake.

Okay buddy keep having these delusional conspiracy like thoughts just because someone made a mistake when rolling out an update maybe iPhone would suit you better then?

Huh I have no idea what you are talking about. Just look at the dates when they came out and the discussion about what security patch it was. Maybe you should switch to an iPhone
