RULES

While this is s community focused on Android, some of us have devices from the Android, Apple, Windows and Linux worlds, etc. We may prefer Android, but overzealous and obsessive adherence to Android as some sort of infallible platform won't be tolerated long here.

That said, being critical of brands is fine. Android is frustrating in some ways, just like iOS and so forth. Let's be upfront about that.

Be thoughtful and helpful, even with 'stupid' questions. Otherwise, as ya mama said, say nothing at all. The world won't be made better or worse by snarky dudes schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

Hi Beta users,

Today we’re sending you an Android 14 Beta 3.1 patch (UPB3.230519.014) which includes the latest June security update and the following fixes:

  • Fixed issues where Fingerprint Unlock was either unavailable or unusable on some devices. (Issue #284360298, Issue #284529436, Issue #284436572)
  • Fixed platform compatibility issues that were affecting mapping SDKs, which caused dependent apps to crash in some cases.

Other known issues still apply to Beta 3.1. In addition, see top open issues for the latest issues reported by developers and users and review our release notes for more details.

64.67MB on Pixel 7 Pro, still optimizing apps here.

Yeah, it was about the same for me - so far no issues but I never ran in to the fingerprint issue either so I can't confirm whether or not it's resolved for me.

Downloaded and sideloaded. Tired of "optimizing apps" especially if I'm sitting in front of a computer anyway.

[–] TheWaulicus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it’s generally my preferred method but for small things like this that I’m personally not having issues with I let it do the thing in the background.

I hate how they say the update is out and then you go and specifically make your phone check for updates and it's like "all good fam, you're up to date!"

Bitch! No I'm not! Quit lying to me!
