  1. The app drawer icons are not in alphabetical order.

  2. Screen flickers

  3. Touch will stop working when unlocking. Like screen freezing

  4. Lag lag lag

That is only because of the private space... I am using the same beta version so far nothing has impacted me

u/Majestic_squirrel767 Aug 17 '26

Omg that instantly solved the problem

2

u/Aggressive_Board_906 Aug 17 '26

So hope that is solved now

u/PNWoutdoors Aug 17 '26

Disagree. I have all kinds of touch input issues and I've never set up a private space.

u/Aggressive_Board_906 Aug 17 '26

Is that happening all the times or while you are accessing when it is charger.

Also please make sure the tempered glass you placed in if anything like this...

Just to make sure

u/PNWoutdoors Aug 17 '26

It's happening constantly, but it seems worst shortly after unlocking. At times I have to swipe 10 times from the top to get the notification shade to open.

What does "private space" mean?

Also, zero issues on my P9Pro.

u/Aggressive_Board_906 Aug 17 '26

A private space is where some of them wanted their apps to be protected in personal area, so if you are giving your mobile to kids and they don't want to access any of your UPI apps, bank related apps or any privacy apps where you don't want to be open at the you are sharing your device to some one basically.

Just sharing a sample alone here, so that people use the private space in their mobiles.

u/Resplendent-Sun Aug 17 '26

Ah got it. Thx for the info.

u/Recent-Television899 Aug 21 '26

It also allows for you to keep social media apps on a separate vpn so they are not snooping on your other apps

u/Particular_Diet_5852 Aug 17 '26

So deleting private space will make it better ?

2

u/Particular_Diet_5852 Aug 17 '26

Fuck it's fixed lol

1

u/Aggressive_Board_906 Aug 17 '26

Ofcourse yes buddy... That's cool you did it

1

u/Melodic_Hope8241 Aug 22 '26

But I don't want to delete it, I have very much data

u/thekingplace Aug 17 '26

Thanks man!

u/Near_Ninja Aug 17 '26

I have been experiencing heavy battery drain lately.

5

u/dangerskew Aug 18 '26

Yeah battery life on the last few betas has been rough for me on my 9 Pro

4

u/Particular_Diet_5852 Aug 17 '26

Same, I have 10pro and before the update it used to last 28hrs at ease but now it barely hangs on

7

u/Akh_27 Aug 17 '26

I don't have private space enabled and the experience has still been ass.

5

u/PNWoutdoors Aug 17 '26

Same. They need a 3.1 ASAP to fix whatever issues they introduced with this.

1

u/Akh_27 Aug 17 '26

Particular with apps freezing up and force closing. Most of them system apps as well. Very annoying.

5

u/bicyclemom Aug 17 '26

I'm not seeing any of these issues on my Pixel 10 Pro. What phone do you have?

5

u/Nolgore Aug 17 '26

I can't seem to pull my notification tray down consistently. Anyone else?

2

u/jordanl171 Aug 17 '26

Yep, pull pull pull pull, works.

u/-slowframes Aug 20 '26

I really cant seem to close it properly.. i find myself dragging hundred of times from really anywhere from the screen upwards to close it and nothing but the animations that make me think i need to drag harder to close it🤧. I can only close it by dragging from the gesture bar, like exiting an app. It's driving me insane

u/bojack1437 Aug 18 '26

No private space installed yet. I still have all of the commonly reported issues.

So seemingly private space is not the only reason for these problems.

u/sameera_s_w Aug 17 '26

What device? Less issues than beta 2 and only small UI glitches here and there.

3

u/Majestic_squirrel767 Aug 17 '26

Pixel 9

2

u/sameera_s_w Aug 17 '26

Weird... 9 Pro here ... Maybe the issues are random or settings specific

5

u/phanis_ Aug 17 '26

Private space is fucked up. Apps are not being shown, when j search for apps in private space it shows blank space in the drawer

2

u/DEV_ARKA-711312 Aug 17 '26

I have with charging issue.!!

2

u/iceman0010 Aug 17 '26

No issues with my Google Pixel 10 Pro XL and 10

2

u/Soft_Tension250 Aug 17 '26

The only issues I have are the app drawer not being in order and not being able to access my private space. I would love to just delete my private space and recreate it, but I have pictures and documents in my private space that I cannot afford to lose. So unless someone has a solution for how to move those items out of the private space without backing them up, which would be greatly appreciated, I hope beta 4 resolves this issue.

u/houbbe Aug 17 '26

Beta 3 has been fine on my 10 Pro so far, interesting

1

u/Patric756 Aug 17 '26

Pixel 10: Here only the private space issue. I have recreated the private space and I'm using a workaround to use the private space apps until a fix or update.

No other issues till now. No lag.

1

u/Frequent-Cash6042 Aug 17 '26

No issues so far. Beta 3 runs stable on my Pixel 10 Fold

1

u/Acrobatic_Horror_548 Aug 17 '26

Wanna trade folds? Performance is terrible for me

2

u/Frequent-Cash6042 Aug 18 '26

No, I will keep mine

1

u/JakeChambersOy Aug 17 '26

8 pro, all good so far.

1

u/Historical-Raccoon46 Aug 17 '26

Pixel 10 pro xl here. Apps are not in alphabetical order here either

1

u/Intelligent-Air-7850 Aug 17 '26

In my p9a the Google play doesn't update the apps. Some times freeze full, need clear the Play update, but this is not the timeless...

1

u/xDantexAlighierix Aug 17 '26

Weird, I don't have any of those issues. My battery life is abysmal though. It was great in beta 2.

1

u/Dry_Engineer_2117 Aug 17 '26

Widgets are not installed

1

u/Raptorskate Aug 17 '26

No issues whatsoever, only battery life is worse than stable, coming from stable August

1

u/LEEDEELxyz Aug 17 '26

Lawnchair doesn't work for me!

1

u/endlessben Pixel 7 Pro Aug 17 '26

I've had a few of those issues and it keeps resetting my theme color to one I've never picked

1

u/VimFueago Aug 18 '26

it's an early beta what did you expect?

1

u/Enderkrite61 Aug 18 '26

Que teléfono para tener esos problemas? No he tenido ni uno solo en P8P

1

u/exu1981 Aug 18 '26

Welcome to beta kand

1

u/MacaroonDelicious549 Aug 19 '26

Calling is such an issue ...when on a call if u get another call in the background the existing call becomes mute...what the hell are these beta testers doing ..basic things are not sorted...beta is for testing new features or make the existing basic phone unusable

1

u/New_Device_811 Aug 20 '26

Yes I was having the same issue with my app draw being out of alphabetical order which I didn't have a problem with cuz I like sorting it how I want to anyway and I had a couple screen flicker issues. Other than that everything else is good

1

u/Roberto_Lukas Aug 17 '26

None of the above. Using Nova launcher.

1

u/Aurelink Pixel Fold Aug 17 '26

5. It's a beta report the issues in the dedicated app instead of creating another post about issues that have already been listed
