[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NippleSauce:
I kept stating in Google's surveys that I faced no issues in the latest beta build...but I have been facing this issue the entire time and just kept forgetting about it! So, I appreciate you bringing it up! I have had this issue on betas 2, 3 and 4 as well. Time to get fixing 👌.

Edit:

Alright. Temporary user fix that helps to slightly resolve the issue until device is restarted. Go into Settings>>Face Unlock and then disable "Skip lock screen". Then go back into your "Face Unlock" settings and re-enable "Skip lock screen". You will now see the "Now Playing" audio on your lock screen. This "Now Playing" widget is just a text window and does not allow you to interact with the media (no previous, play/pause or skip buttons).

If you close or force quit your media/streaming app and then re-open it, the more simplistic "Now Playing" widget still appears on the lock screen. However, it currently stops appearing again after you restart your device.

*Edit 2.0*:

I was referring to the "Currently Playing" media feature; or the feature that shows what music you are currently streaming through a music app such as YouTube Music. I was not referring to the mic-always-on "Now Playing" feature. I was calling it the incorrect thing in my original post above this "Edit 2.0" comment update. My apologies. I will leave the original part of the comment unedited so that you can see what I am referring to.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I personally never used the Now playing feature. Didn't know it was broken.

I just hit the assistance button and say what song is playing in the background and I get the results 100 percent of the time lol

I don't like Google always listening.if I want to know I'll ask Google...lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TotallyAnxious:
Now Playing is completely offline. Google assistant is completely online.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Offline?? but can listen and recognize song data without an internet connection. That's cool.. Then all songs offline in the now playing data base must be pre downloaded? Then what if a new song comes out it needs a connection to grab the new song data right? I'm confused help me out..

Edit so from what I've read so far ..there is a stored database that tracks the history of songs played and recognized then every 60 seconds the now playing feature would check for any music playing in the background..

This feature I will never use.

Google, scrap this idea .I see why it's not working 100 percent . Who keeps a phone offline while using it anyways besides gaming photography and development..

Lol some people do. It's just this..

Google loves to collect data right? I send them nothing if I could but some leaks out in these so called apps and features..

Although they say it's not collecting data but I just don't believe that statement.. Don't ask me why.. Google doesn't collect my data

From what I can tell, it looks like 3CA/4CA aggregation with 5G isn't actually broken in the betas. The monitoring of anything above 2CA broke when Samsung bumped the version of a component or did something else under the hood that is never documented. With an updated monitoring tool, I can see the 3rd carrier aggregating.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Reason I switched to Google/Pixel.

Updates up the wazo. Lol

Who ever puts custom roms on pixels still amazes me.. Argument I hear the most ,privacy and less tracking. I'll stick with security threat updates over privacy..I can limit my data usage..

Updating now.. coming from Motorola I saw maybe 3 updates a year.. on Stock pixel I've seen too many too many to remember..lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Ok updated took about 17 minutes..

Easy to keep data and root on these pixels..I'm really loving this ecosystem..

All I did again I posted in an earlier post, simply download the ota and factory images zip

Extract the factory images and save a copy of the intit_boot.img and for custom kernel flashing save a copy of the vbmeta.img. open magisk and patch newly init_boot.img ..copy the ota image zip and newly patched init_boot.img to pc.. optional , copy vbmeta.img to cpu to disable verity and verification. (Optional)

Put phone into recovery' and select update via adb.

In command prompt type adb sideload ota.zip(renamed for less typing)

Flashing took about 12 minutes...

Once done simply use volume keys to reboot to bootloader

Then of course reroot fastboot flash init_boot patched _magisk_boot.img.

Profit no data loss updated and peace of mind..:) isee the kernel was finally updated!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
One Fix I noticed IMMEDIATELY.

Volume control while phone was off on standby mode via AOD.

Before I could only adjust the volume if I woke the screen from the AOD menu.

See Google is my friend. I complained they listened and fixed it..Good job Google 👍

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] donjamal:
i'm not getting the latest (A14 B4.1) OTA... what the heck can i do? never happened before, all beta's were coming through right after the release, max delay was like 30 mins. now it's been a day. i know i can do it through PC but i'm can't access my pc right now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] donjamal:
from recovery? then i would lose root, no?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes

Depends on how you do it. If you don't have a PC to be able to flash a patched boot image after sideloading the OTA, but before booting up, then yes. Of course, you will lose root anyway if you take the "regular" OTA.

With a PC, instead of booting up after sideloading the OTA you can reboot into the bootloader, flash the patched init_boot.img and then boot up. Of course you would have to patch the new (corresponding month) init_boot.img beforehand.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] donjamal:
with pc i can solve it. is there any way to flash magisk from recovery?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Not in this situation.

I flashed my second beta with Platform Tools 34.0.4

Because that's the kinda guy I am! Lol 😂

Same as last time. The Factory image, didn't wipe data and didn't enter Fastbootd. X2!

For Research purposes.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Was it the first 34.0.4 that came out or the most recent (second) one? Both the same version number but all the files had changed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Gordietm:
I flashed 14 beta 4.1 with the second version of 34.0.4 on 7 pro and it worked perfectly. A lot faster flashing.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Golf c:
Second. I seen someone talking about it. Erased the first one and downloaded the supposed second one. Same strange results
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sasaiber:
Updated from 13 to 14 beta 4.1 - the network disappeared from both sim cards (we also have a physical one). Root.

Please tell me how to fix the problem
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You could try resetting network settings. Also, try a factory reset. If those don't fix it, I'd recommend going back to 13 Stable.

What does "Ruth is" mean? Typo or spell-check?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sasaiber:
Changed😅 Very sad, I thought that the last beta was more stable... After resetting the network, nothing fixed(

Android Auto v10.0.632824 is giving me headaches with Pixel 7P as it does not connect with my car. It was working fine till recently and now it does not connect wirelessly.

I am on 14 beta with july 5 security update. BT works fine but not wireless AA. I have tried everything, removed cache and data, reinstalled, tried reconnecting, nothing works.

Its surprises me that flashship phone of google has compatibility issues with an app from their own company? Has anyone found a fix yet?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gamer765:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:

Google is asking for input from T-Mobile Pixel 7 Android 14 Beta users about their signal quality
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks, added to the OP and thread title.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
Can I use pixelflasher and dirty flash the ota update? Currently I'm rooted on a clean flashed beta 4, T-Mobile p7 pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Updating via OTA in system settings or sideloading the Full OTA will install the stock vbmeta image and therefore, without doing anything else, verity and verification will be enabled. If you are updating via OTA and you want to keep those flags disabled (assuming they currently are), you should disable those flags after you update but before you reboot into the system.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
So, funny that Google is asking about signal.. update 4 was great on my tmo p7p. I was getting 300mb + at work and a few miles away at home in a rural area about an hour from the Twin Cities MN. Now on update 5, I can't get more than 5-6 Mbps. My verizon fold 4 is getting the usual 700mbps

Can I revert to beta 4 by just dirty flashing the beta 4 factory image I still have on my computer?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can never downgrade the software without a factory reset. If you try to work around that limitation and dirty flash anyway, you might find some things won't work correctly (because apps with have the Beta 5 app data), or the phone might not even boot.

Even if you did downgrade, you may re-receive the OTA to Beta 5.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] teknowiz23:
Haha thanks I will deal with it then. When I switch to prefer LTE only things go back to full LTE speed so I can deal without 5g until the next release

Also I'll take the time this weekend to let them know what they're asking if data speed stays so terrible for long enough
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Thanks for the reply. I remember before i flashed a custom kernel i had to disable the flags but the system would force the phone into recovery for a (DATA WIPE)

Does disabling the flags before reboot wont force me into recovery for a wipe?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
If you currently have them disabled, you shouldn't be forced to wipe.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Golf c:
OMG. I Love torturing myself. I knew my data was really screwed up. I kept using my 13: Google one backup for beta 14.

What a mistake. Just Super clean flashed. No Google backup. It hurts I know. What a incredible difference. This beta is amazing. This backup has been wonky for a long time

EDIT: still having issues with banking apps...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Google had done something on their end - even on Stable 13, but from memory, before the August stable firmware update - so it was a change made behind the scenes not associated with a main update. I'm kinda surprised Displax hasn't changed the version attached to their OP from Mod 2.0 back to Mod 1.3, but there have been plenty of posts in that thread about others encountering the same issue.

Super Clean Flashed. Start from scratch, without a Backup. Cause I really needed it and Google sucks.

Radio. Hard to say this early.

Rural is now on LTE. Barely ever had a signal inside my house. Outside is medium.

In town was like maxed TMobile. Pegged to the hyperscale. I prefer medium. High and low has never worked very well for me.

I still think something is very wrong with this auto rotate?

I have never seen more jank than that.

That being said. Love how tight this is going. Not as exciting as the changes used to be. But I will still root as long as "I" find a benefit. No more horrible roms!

@roirraW "edor" ehT Bro, could you provide the direct link to download the latest beta of android 14 (UPB5.230623.003)? I entered the links that you put in the post but only beta 2 appears.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Very odd, no issue here. Maybe clear your browser's cache, or if you have the page set to show you any language other than English, switch it to English at the top right and see if that makes any difference. Sometimes one or more of the languages show outdated information and links, on all of Google's download pages. Sometimes the English page is the last to get updated, too.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I've never run Beta releases before but all the talk about A14 has me intrigued.

Should I do a full wipe (I assume so) before flashing?

I'm due for a full backup anyway - been a few months.

Also, using PF or the Android Flash Tool?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's up to you. Technically, it's optional. You can just opt into the Beta program and wait for the OTA, but if rooted and going to root it, of course, it makes the most sense to flash manually.

All that said, quite a few users reported a much better experience and less issues on every Beta if they wiped first.

Good luck!

No problems here. Did you skip the last part of the command below? Did you put your patched image in your Platform Tools folder and open up a command prompt from that folder?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's normal that we can't fastboot boot init_boot.img.

I always check the MD5 hash on both ends (computer and device), and both before and after patching. That is, I create my own reference MD5 on my computer, check it after copying to the phone, patch it, create reference MD5 for the patched file, copy it to the PC, then check the hash again.

I had a bad experience on a different branded device, so now I'm extra careful on all brands.

I'm on Stable 13 and using Magisk Stable 26.1. I had no problem creating the patched init_boot.img from the cheetah_beta-upb5.230623.006 factory image using Platform Tools 33.0.3.
