Have always participated in Motorola's beta software testing with no issues, should I expect the same with google??

Historically there was always issues. Usually small issues

Never many issues for me, seems like Android beta may have potential for more issues

Its a little different with Nexus and Pixels. By the time OEMs get Android its a fine tuned product. This is a small incremental beta, not a full blown OS changeover. Probably won't be many bugs.

Seems like more for developers with pixels vs OEM is for everyday user?

All I am saying is there is a difference between Google phones and Moto, Samsung, LG etc. By the time they get Android software its already good to go thanks to you and I. We already tested this stuff on Nexus and Pixels. There's nothing wrong with trying betas and developer previews.

Cool thanks. From what I understand that if you see an issue or aren't happy you back out, but must factory reset?

Yeah, but when you get out of the beta program, some people have said you have to wait to get back to a stable build. Its not instant. Unlock your bootloader and flash the factory image. If your on a locked Verizon phone then it is what it is. Your at Google's mercy.

I have heard people having to wait at most, 24-48 hours after getting off the beta program, to return to stability. New updates are one of the most exciting things about these devices. That said, if stability is important to you, then stay where your at and let the other's be guinea pigs. Keep a close eye on the comments of other's that run the beta and see if its for you? I'm unlocked and rooted. Can do whatever I want, when I want. Haha, at the mercy of the great devs of XDA of course and Google.

This is not a major release. I doubt there will be any major bugs, maybe some small stuff. My guess is likely none.

I understand there was some changes made to bluetooth. Wondering if any beta testers with the update have seen problems with car audio connectivity improve.

I've tried updating, got nothing yet...

7.1.1 beta on my 6p was almost the final build and actually an upgrade to 7.0. my guess is 7.1.2 will be the same. Hopefully fixes some of the TMO network issues I've been having with my pixel and hopefully 256 QAM is enabled among few other features our phones are capable of that aren't functioning yet. AptX support would be a nice welcome

I signed up for the beta yesterday for the first time. I got the new 7.1.2 update a few minutes ago. Waiting until I get home to give it a try. Hoping it's not too unstable.
