Android Q is near, Do you guys think we Pixel users will be getting Android Q Preview?

Doesn't seem likely but never know, I hope so, but even if it doesn't happen officially I'm still pretty sure we'll see custom Q roms

Looks like the first beta is up! We are in!

Installed and running fine ... Pretty sweet we're in but with a 3 yo phone I just hope that it doesn't slow down too bad

Couldn't resist trying it out. So far running great. Too soon to make any real conclusions at this point though. If it isn't as good as pie at least we can always go back

Did you have to wipe user data after you enrolled for the preview?? Or is it just like an ota update leaving user data.

it just installed like an OTA, no wipe

is it a daily driver?

Guys do let us know if it is a daily driver or not. I really wanna try this out.
And list bugs you encounter here also please

It's like an Ota... But I wiped anyways and it states that if you opt out of the beta program you'll need to wipe to go back. If you stay in until the beta program ends though it'll just Ota you to the official without needing a wipe

Impressions so far:
- scrolling is noticably smoother, whether it's web pages or news content on the glauncher.
- battery seems to be better than Pie. The standby is definitely better, but I should note that I used a battery recalibration app right after updating (for the first time).
- the device seems to stay cooler under normal load. For whatever reason, it got hot doing some basic things in Pie and the battery life drained quickly.
- no bugs so far, all of my apps still work from what I can tell. Surprisingly stable for a first preview.

I agree, so far its working very well, no problems for me, I used OTA

Works fine, but when i tap on last button in settings "tips and support" app crashes. System-wide "dark" theme is not dark but pure black. Thi is annoying for my eyes, dark grey is much better for me.

Chase mobile app crashes after a couple min. Can anyone confirm the same?

Where is the system wide dark theme?

Where is the system wide dark theme?

Enable: adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 2
Disable: adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 1

For now toggle is missing

 

[omky_b4u]

May be 3 for gray ?

 

[akkiurs]

Dark mode is not worth yet. Cant use Google photos. And maybe few other apps which are not discovered yet .

Try battery saver dark mode and check if you can live with google photos (side menu, etc)
If you can then go for it.

Otherwise not even a single crash yet on android Q beta q. Its a good experience so far.
Can be used as Daily driver.

New gestures are pretty laggy for me.

Mi band 3 does not reconnect

It's been quite buggy for me, there are times when I open some apps and the system freezes completely, but I've seen some users don't complain at all , is it my device model or something...?

No not your device..., It freezes sometimes like once in a day but see its just a beta 1 i tend to ignore that 1 time a day thing.

And if you think its too buggy then try a clean flash or formatting your device once. It helps.
