Confirmed NOT working. It didn't work for me in B4 either. 1, 2, and 3 did. I haven't reinstalled or cleared data yet though. I'll report back after doing that.

Did you flash with Linux? I flashed in Win10 using the flash-all.bat. Screwed up my phone. After going into fastboot it just fails. Did that with B1 and I had to go back to P. Thankfully an OTA sideload fixed me without a wipe. Just curious so I can flash if I need later on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
Yes. I always use Linux. Doing the same thing every month for security updates. Never had any issues.

Has anyone had issues with WiFi? All my saved networks are wiped. I've readded my work profile and it got wiped again.

How stable is the new beta
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
I installed last night and so far:

1. Saved WiFi networks wiped

2. Lost data connection on boot a few times. Reboot solved it every time.

3. App launcher is blank sometimes but shows up again on scroll.

4. Cannot hide battery anymore

Hopefully that's all...

Dunno why, if I use Magisk Manager 7.3.2 with Magisk V19.3 to patch the Q beta 5 boot.img from factory image. After flash it via fastboot, My Pixel 3 XL will boot into system but still no root. If I use the Magisk_patch.img provided by [MENTION=2371173]spotmark[/MENTION], my phone will NOT boot into system (only G logo with running progress, adb works).

I compared my magisk_patched.img to the one provided by [MENTION=2371173]spotmark[/MENTION], the size is not same...

What version of Magisk are you using? And what did you done for Q beta 5 to boot with root? (I use factory image without -W).

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
Its actually super stable. Its my daily driver. I am impressed by the quality of beta. I am also stock + root with magisk. No fancy kernels, mods, fancy magisks modules etc. I have had zero issues with wifi or anything else so far!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
With beta, you need to use Canary builds. Build number for magisk is 19305 for me and mgr is 7.3.3 (228)..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogoffm:
Is the release stopped again like Beta4? Wanted to load the B5 but just read that the ota is stopped due to issues......
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] arrrgh:
I flashed in win 10 without issues. Though I had to update platform tools.

Might be the same issue if yours failed with fastbootd error.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
Just curious what version of Magisk this is patched with? I'm getting an md5 mismatch between the download and one I patched myself. I patched the Q beta 5 boot image with the debug version of Canary v19.4-05658caf(19305)

My md5= dd4d1f2fb36c4f3a205782bb0c2c7664

Downloaded= 36c9ef2bc17b1fa5372f04f4dda9089a

Canary, non-debug= dcbd6ab1bd813ec3cd9b6254102d1e79

(Stable and beta won't root the 3's)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lssong99:
Yes... Tried Canary build 19305 and 228 but still not dice.... My 3 XL just won't boot into system with patched boot.img....

Is this due to that I have some magisk modules which might affect the operation? Since no TWRP available and no root, is there any other way to start Magisk with core mode only?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Patched with the latest Canary build. 19.4-05658caf(19305)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
They may have stopped actually sending stuff out over the air, but the downloads are still available.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcmm11:
Strange. Can you check the md5 on your local copy?

I'm just wondering what happened here. Did you pull the stock image directly from the factory image download?

It's curious, that's all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Yes, I pulled the boot from the stock image file. The MD5 on the one I uploaded to Mega is 36c9ef2bc17b1fa5372f04f4dda9089a. That matches the download from Mega as well.

I just got notification again for beta 5. Ota is back on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Guys my vibration for notifications is not working even when i put it to Vibration mode. I'm not sure what to do.

Any help?? And yes my vibration motor is ok but something with settings. Help
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
Notification for Q beta 5 popped up tonight. I downloaded and installed. It's cool, I like the dark theme. And I like the option for 3 different gesture controls; the new Gestures, the Pie 2 button gestures, and old school 3 buttons.

But the biggest feature I wanted, they said was in beta 5, doesn't seem to be. The swipe down from anywhere on the screen to pull down the notification shade, like all third party launchers do. It was said to be in beta 5. How do I enable it?

And overall the new gesture swiping system feels wonky and weird. Like how is swiping on the screen to go back, better than actually using a back button? You tap n the back button and in an instant immediately your back, but swiping back takes a weird movement, and feels like you can almost drop your phone, and takes a second or so. it's just stupid.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dmb219:
I agree, I used the new gestures and tried to like them but I can't see that it's an improvement. Seems like a change made for the sake of change.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
It will take getting used to but now if you ask me i can't go back to the pill method or 3 button navigation. The current one feels so much better and convenient. Give it time guys
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I used gestures when it first came out for a bit, then went back to the pill because I don't like the swipe up and hold for recents v. swipe up once (it's sooo much faster to switch apps). However, I found myself wanting to just swipe the screen to go back. So, I went back to gestures and stayed. Now the up and hold feels pretty natural, and in B5 it's a lot less glitchy. The new tap and hold for the side menu doesn't work for sheet though. They really need to work on that. I can barely get it to work. Anyway, hopefully by the stable release Google will have figured out the gestures more. They also need to get rid of the bottom bar completely. It's useless at this point. Google clearly didn't have a very good plan when they decided to do this lol.

Tap and hold gesture works perfectly fine with me on apps that have the side shelf....Play Store...Gmail...etc.

Just tap the edge and hold it....a sec later the side shelf pops up...... Simple.

If you download the previous version of the Chase app, it works fine.

https://apkdownloadforandroid.com/download/615/371000008/

Latest Chase update does not...

It may prompt you to update the app when you open it, click the update button, which opens the Play Store (don't actually update). Then close it out and reopen the app.

Should then be able to login.

Quirky little work around, but at least it works.

Just did it myself, to electronically deposit a check and had no issues.

Hope that helps.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
What happened to the feature supposed to be in beta 5; swipe anywhere on home screen to bring down the notification shade?

Which all third party launchers have had for years, and I was excited Google finally bringing it to stock. Where's the setting to enable it?

You must be the gesture whisperer. Mine doesn't work ever really. I've tried a lot of different ways too.

anyone having major issues with connectivity both WIFI and cellular? reboot usually fixes it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
It happened to me twice so far and reboot also solved it. I also lost all my saved WiFi networks. All gone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] flintdragon:
this Q beta has been very bad for me compared to previous ones. Really tempted to reset to normal. The connectivity issue is draining the battery fast now...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] arrrgh:
Lost WiFi network as well, had to enter password again.

Also I have had the assistant gesture hints stay on permanently.

Lastly it seems that if you create the separate xda labs forum link and add it to home it'll eventually change back to the main xda labs app.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
That's odd. My battery drain is actually better than Pie. Idle drain below 1% most of the time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogoffm:
WiFi not working anymore for me. Can't connect . Can I flash latest July stock image to go back to PIE or do I need to use OTA to get back. Will kill my lte volume.....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
Reboot won't fix it? You can't OTA backwards. You have to flash the factory image for Pie.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogoffm:
Rebooted several times but can't connect. Sure you can OTA backwards, just delete phone from beta testing and you will get an OTA for PIE which will bring you back to July built. But with out WiFi .........
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
I believe an OTA file is incremental not a full image. I assumed you were referring to flashing an OTA file. When you remove yourself from the beta you are downloading a full image as far as I know. Yes you are doing it over the air but it's not an OTA file
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogoffm:
Nahh, sorry , maybe my post was not clear. I have the latest full image on my laptop but I was not sure if I can flash it from Q to Pie or if I need to delete the Beta Programm and install the file which is coming as download. I don't want to use my monthly volume just to go back to pie.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] santod040:
If you're gonna have to wipe to go back to Pie, why not try a factory reset on the current Q build first?

I had connectivity issues after one of the previous beta updates and found that a factory reset resolved it, without the need to downgrade back to Pie.

Just a suggestion, if you haven't already tried or considered it.

I wouldn't restore any Settings related data after either...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gogoffm:
Will give it a try definitely! Tx

If we get that, I'm good using the stock Pixel launcher.

I'm really liking this beta 5. It is very stable for me. The animations are way better now. I still don't know what Google is trying to do with the navigation system. To be honest it's still hit or miss with me. The one plus navigation system is so much easier to use. So I just put on the 3 button navigation in gestures and have vivid n.g. take away the navigation bar so I can have one plus gestures. Also in developer settings my changes do not stick after a reboot. I wish they did. I also have lawnchair v2 as my launcher. It's much better in my opinion than the stock launcher. Overall though this beta is very stable and can be used as a daily driver.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jfive74:
Good day. Can anyone test and confirm that deactivating "scoped storage" will restore full storage access to sd maid. Titanium backup? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
I did but SD Maid still won't let me disable receivers saying root needed even though it has root. Not sure if related to scoped storage or not but in any case it's not working as it was on Pie even with scoped storage disabled
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lssong99:
You don't need disable scoped storage to have Titanium backup to access /sdcard. Maybe just uninstall/reinstall TB then re-grant it the SD permission when asked.

My TB work right away without anything special... I did a clean wipe upgrade from P-->Qb5 though....

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
I decided to install beta 5 today. Removed -w, and rooted. For the most part, everything is smooth, and I'm loving it! However, there are 2 things I've noticed are off so far. 1: the new navigation feels a bit janky, at least with Nova launcher, it'll definitely take some time to get used to it. 2: I had the phone connected to my car (2018 Nissan Altima sr) the music eventually played through the phone, even though it was connected. Has anyone experienced this issue? Oh, I also forgot, my recents are large, like an individual posted earlier about. Overall, I'm loving Q, I understand it's a beta and there will be hiccups, but it's definitely stable enough to use as a daily!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
I had all sorts of buggy behavior when I installed Q B5 and I actually did a clean flash...

No glitches whatsoever. Give that a shot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Najner:
For me recents screen is blank sometimes. Also camera app sometimes gives me black screen while opening with double press power button. Other than that it seems pretty smooth and reliable, baterry life is better than on Pie. I'm not rooted.

DISABLE/delete all Magisk module!

I learnt it the hard way by not removing some module like Riru-core and it make bootloop in Qb5. SInce we don't have TWRP recovery yet so the only option is full wipe...

Qb5 works no problem without root... However after flash the Magisk modified boot.img the phone get bootloop. By looking at log I can see module has problem loading and holding the whole boot process....

Since we don't know which module will cause problem, it's better to start with no module....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] harigavara:
Just removing all magisk modules? That's it? I have only 2 mods.

Substratum

YouTube vanced

No need to unroot? And anything else?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lssong99:
No, you don't need to unroot or do anything else. Just remove/disable modules is enough.

Also, you need stock recovery if you go by OTA. If upgrade with factory image, don't forget to remove the -w option in flash-all.bat/.sh so you could keep data...

If you want, backup with TB is also a good idea if you end up like need to wipe.

BTW. After upgrade, I don't suggest to install Substratum module since it plays with some system files which will definitely cause problem with Q (unless the author said it's okay...). YouTube Vance's should be ok.... Remember, since we don't have TWRP now, once you have a non-compatible module holding the boot process or causing bootloop, your only option is wipe /data...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] harigavara:

Edit: pretty please? I’m on the OnePlus 7 Pro Android Q DP, and it doesn’t come with these Pixel apps
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lssong99:
In this case I really suggest to your to install from factory image with -w removed (so your /data will not be erased, same result as OTA). flash-all.bat/.sh will take care of the recovery thing for you. Anyway in the end you still need the factory image to get boot.img for Magisk to modify to get root (flash via Fastboot) since we don't have TWRP for Q.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kxf41:
I see you posted this 8 days ago so you probably know by now already but just in case you don't...

You can switch apps super fast by swiping your thumb along the bottom bar.

I'm hoping they get rid of the bottom bar too I hate the way it makes the corners look janky, if they just leave the white line so you know where to aim to swipe that will make me happy, possibly will need to switch to black though if on a white page it will be hard to see otherwise.

I came from OnePlus 5T gestures and I actually prefer what Google has done here, swipe from either side to go back is much better than the thumb gymnastics I had to do to get right to the bottom of the screen to go back.

Edit, forgot to mention I'm on a regular size 3 not the XL, not sure if anything is different between gestures on them.

And another great thing is from the home screen you can swipe right on the bar to quickly open your most recent app, I use that a lot.
