I hope it’s ok to post this here. The Androidbeta community doesn’t seem to have much activity, and while i don’t miss Reddit that much, I’m a bit sad there’s not much beta news over here…
I really think it’s ok to post here, OP.
I’m a reddit orphan and one of the subs I’m still missing the most to this day is Google’s official android_beta sub.
So yes, your post is much appreciated.
Maybe it would even be nice to have a dedicated community (and someone still on reddit - I’m not anymore) could get in touch with r/android_beta mods to see if they wanna jump on Lemmy…
Linking the release notes here, which list issues that have been addressed: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/release-notes
Thanks for the heads up! Getting closer to stable.
niche communities will grow with time
Of course it’s OK to post here, we are just here to talk anything Android related!
Thanks, it’s really nice to see the positive response from everyone here
I’m running the A14 betas–so please keep these posts coming!! 👍
With beta 4.1 battery life for my 7a was much improved. Heating issue seemed to be much less also.
Hope nothing changes in that aspect of beta 5
What are some of the big new features?
No new features from beta 4.1 to 5. It’s all fixes under the hood. Are you referring to changes in Android 15 as a whole?

Yes
This guy does really great reviews with each beta. I recommend checking out some of his videos. https://youtube.com/@IDTR
Tbh not much besides new lockscreen clocks.
Anything notable new?
Someone said they finally got cinematic wallpaper but I still don’t have it ):
This is fast!
My 2019 phone only got 13 a month ago or so.
Thx for the update :)
Any improvements to desktop mode in A14?
