Yeah, I'm trying it on the new beta 5.2 and it's not wanting to work :/

EDIT: Must have gotten corrupted on the way over, moved everything over again and it worked fine lol. What tool do you use for making and comparing MD5s? Thank you for your help!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Glad you solved it!

On Windows, I use the now defunct HashTab, originally at (Zaphod) www . beeblebrox . org (not there anymore), then unfortunately sold to Implbits (not there anymore, either).

There was a reason why I didn't move on to OpenHashTab back in 2019 or 2020, but I don't remember what I didn't like about it at the time, and those were early days for it. I may try the new version, since it's had a lot of time for development by now.

On the phone, I just use Hash Checker. It's free, no ads, and is regularly maintained, so what more could I really ask? I think it could use some small improvements, but no big deal. I used to use @scary alien's "AFV File Verifier for Android" from the Play Store. scary alien had the same first Android device that I had in 2010 - the HTC Droid Eris, and they were active there, but the app's no longer in the Play Store, and needed updating.

On both the PC and phone, I create a text file with at least the same base name as the file I'm hashing (I add the build number to the original init_boot.img). I put the hash both in the text file and at the end of the text file's file name (because if using Nearby Share, it won't transfer files that are empty, like a zero-byte text file). It's a little tedious, but worth a little tedium to not run into problems later, or if I do run into problems, I know that's one possibility already eliminated.

Edit: Just checked out the latest version of OpenHashTab. It's pretty nice, and definitely has improvements over HashTab. It's got loads of settings, and even has a button for optionally sending files directly to VirusTotal.com. Uninstalling the old HashTab now. :D

Edit 2: I just added both programs/apps to Post #3 - Other, most important resources:

A list of other important apps

OpenHashTab looks amazing! Thanks for the recommendation, just got it installed

Did you take the leap and, go with the beta?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Updates getting out of hand..

Seems the fold and tablet were the focus for this update.

Is it me or does Google have one of the most unorthodox ways of updating software.

Like why does it take 3 updates on average per month to correct issues.

I appreciate the updates but who has the time to keep up with every minor detail.

Makes more sense why other manufacturers don't pust out an update so quickly.

They know Google is never done .smh..

Google if your reading this.

I get why you have to be so sporadic if this is the norm then just let us know so we all can be conscious of the threats also.. (directly not indirectly)...

Waiting on stable A14 release.. From my first Android version Froyo now to Upside Down Cake, amazing this has all become..

5.2:should have been the public build .

All updates prior to August all had 1.1 update now August has 5.2 ...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aphex13:
I think the change log for the beta fixes is incomplete. I was facing several issues on beta 5 and 5.1, and they're all resolved with 5.2, but not listed anywhere in the released list of fixes.

1. My camera would refuse to save photos. It appeared to work fine, but no photos would save.

2. Rotating the screen would result in a refresh of all content. This was especially annoying when I would be watching any sort of video, as it would completely restart. There were several other redraws at random times. I sort of blamed Nova Launcher, but 5.2 is doing much better.

3. My phone was running hot on 5.1.

So I'm pretty sure they're squashing bugs that we are unaware of, and just can't be bothered to list them anywhere online.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I haven't yet. Work has been crazy all week and I haven't had time
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I concur.

Keep this in mind. In business there's protocol and procedures that are always documented.

Copy and paste the fixes is what there are doing now like Madden games..lol

Is this normal that the changelog link is displaying only beta 2 changelog?

I'm In France and can't get changelog for beta 5, I receive the UPB5.230623.006 today (6mb ~)

That's a lot of betas for Android 14! Hopefully the stable release is around the corner and will be fine. 🤞
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BIGWORM:
There a general consensus on 5.2? I'm currently on 4.1 at the moment and thinking of flashing it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I don't know what the general consensus is, but it's working fine for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
No issues whatsoever.

Clean flash worked better for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] BIGWORM:
Thank you for the input. Looks like I'll be giving it a shot later today!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aphex13:
It's working fine for me. There's a couple of little nags.

Screen rotations are a little buggy inside of apps like Facebook and Youtube. They cause a refresh of the content.

The battery life is nice, and my phone is cool to the touch when I pick it up.

I'd say go for it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ram4ufriends:
I had the same issue, so had to clean flash Android 13. Is this fixed with new betas?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dr.Pepper:
Yes, on latest beta i don't have anymore this bug

I kept forgetting like Michael McDonald i have to wipe before each update and now everything works including file uploading..

Pixel Running good now i can dance like this fella..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Run into a weird issue.

Battery ran out and the phone turned off.

Connected to the charger and restarted.

Device is only displaying the homescreen and all display elements in the middle 2/3rd of the screen.

Top & bottom thirds have no display.

Homescreen appears like the fold display.

Turned off all root modules, dirty flashed the build again. No change.

Any one run into this issue? Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Seanie280672:
Waiting for the final release to see if itt fixes my issue, non of the lock screen clocks are working, ive just got the crappy stock clock ever since they removed that one clock in Beta 5 I think it was, if its not fixed in the final then im going to flash a custom ROM, final should be just around the corner now, I expect by next weekend or the following one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Super strange. It's like a desktop mode... that I can't get out of.

Whatsapp looks like the desktop version with contacts on the sidebar and messages on the right.

Brave has all the tabs on the top.

And the display is only the middle of the screen.

I just can't get out of it. Will probably have to clean flash
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Might only need a factory reset.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Hmmm.. after a day and a dozen restarts, the device reset itself to normal out of the blue, with no specific action.

Very frustrating.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Psychlone:
I've got 2 issues with Beta 5.2

First, everything went well but occasionally the bottom 1/3 of my screen doesn't respond correctly. Like swiping up for the app drawer makes the screen act like the drawer is opening but nothing happens. When it does this, no touch or swipe on the bottom 1/3 of the screen *anywhere* does anything - other than a down-swipe to close the non-existent app drawer.

I have to shut off the phone and turn it back on (not power off/on) to get the screen to respond correctly again, and then it's fine until some random, arbitrary thing happens that causes it to lock up again.

The top 2/3 of the screen respond normally at all times.

The other thing is I just wanted to try out cloned apps. For me it was a mistake. While it did successfully clone the app I wanted it to, it created cloned apps for EVERY Google apk on the phone in the background, and I'm not able to uninstall them. It acts like it's uninstalling but they just come right back. That's annoying and even though I know I can disable them or hide them, I know they're still there. I like a tidy workspace and so this is going to bug me.

Was hoping they would include the September security update since the bulletin was released yesterday.....nope.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 94b20gsr:
A paltry 22.98MB on a US P7P unlocked using T-Mobile. OTA update, of course.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sawdoctor:
Tbh the last 3 or 4 betas seem to be mainly bug fixes for the pixel fold and tablet. I'm guessing their the reason stable hasn't been pushed out yet
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aphex13:
Can anyone on beta 5.2 or 5.3 confirm a bug for me? I'm on 5.2 and about to flash 5.3.

Open your camera in portrait mode, and wait for the display to show you your view.

Rotate your phone to landscape.

Does your screen black out, and the camera have to completely refresh?

I've been struggling with that, and my camera not wanting to save any photos that I try to take. The display looks fine, but when I click the button, nothing...

I'll update this post if 5.3 un-dinked anything for me.

Edit: It appears the rotation bug was fixed, but I'm still unable to capture photos. The fix on 5.2 was to force-close the camera and clear the cache. I'll try that again, and hope that it sticks...

Edit 2: Ok, last one. The rotation bug is still there, but it takes a couple of rotations to make it happen. After a crash/refresh, the capture button is greyed out. It no longer requires a cache wipe to fix it though. Just exit out of the camera and clear it from your recent apps. When you open it again, it will be fine. It's not ideal, but at least it seems that Google is working on it. I know the P8P has some camera upgrades. Maybe it's related to that...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] scorpio76r:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tkxabcdefg:
I tried on 5.2 and couldn't replicate this bug after several rotates.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aphex13:
Really? What's your setup, launcher, rooted, etc...?

Thank you for taking the time!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tkxabcdefg:
Rooted Pixel 7 Pro with default launcher. Camera app is up to date from Play store. I don't have other camera related stuff installed. Imane size is full, no night sight, no flash, no face retouching. No bug with 1x and 2x zoom. Takes photos normally and saves photos(compressed and raw) normally.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Aks:
I think those September feature drop feature are still not available on 5.3? At a glance is still old look for me.

Your mileage may vary, but they're recommending opting out now and just not taking the downgrade OTA.

The Android 14 QPR1 Beta is coming next week

Even before the stable launch of Android 14 for Pixel, Google today detailed how the first QPR1 Beta is starting next week...

9to5google.com
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gpvecchi:
I want the QPR beta, so I have to stay enrolled, right?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sawdoctor:
Pretty sure it will be published as a full ota that can be manually flashed anyway
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, either that, or as @sawdoctor said, you could unenroll and flash manually.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
Meanwhile, no trace of Android 14 stable. What's going on at Google? 🤔
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm not positive if it was confirmed straight with Google, but I've seen that it will come out the same day as the Pixel 8/Pro launch October 4th.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] febo17:
Hello, how are you? I just installed the beta version of Android 14 via OTA on my P7P, the UPB5.230623.003 version. Looking for the image to extract the file init_boot.img for root. I only find the UPB5.230623.009 version. This is the same? If it is not the same and someone can provide me with the image that corresponds to my version I would appreciate it very much
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] UberNorse:
You need to go to settings and system update again to get 5.3 and then it will match the factory image you have.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] allenjthomsen:
Im curious has anyone had issues transfering files to their phone and it saying 0bytes of storage available on the 14 beta or that your out of storage space when installing apps. I have 512gb version just an fyi so i know there was no way i was out of space

I couldnt get past this because it would keep doing that alot on the beta for me went back to stock a13 and havent had that issue since.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Sui77:
In on latest beta (rooted), can i just manually flash the final without wipe while still registered in the beta (no ota anyways)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You *can*, once the final comes out (we think October 4th), however - you should still opt out of the Beta program before the 18th and don't install the OTA it offers you, which will downgrade you to Android 13 and wipe your device. If you stay opted into the Beta, you'll still receive an OTA to the Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
i opted out but no ota ever came in the system update menu.

I can proudly say my battery has improved on 5.3.A14 beta. Or was it me installing (warden apk) . Glad this app still works on A14.:Lol

I've never seen an estimated battey expectancy of one day on 78% battery left..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] p51d007:
If I'm reading this correctly...opt out, decline the 13, then you get the "official" 14 when it comes out.

Ok, that's fine...after you receive the official 14, can you then again enroll again in the beta, and will

get the QPR beta 14 once it is released?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sawdoctor:
All the new betas will be published as full otas won't they? So you can flash them anytime you want with pixelflasher
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you want in on the Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1 that will come out reportedly on September 18th, then don't bother opting out of the Beta program.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Psychlone:
I have a question regarding this.

I never opted-in, I simply flashed the Beta 5.1, then Beta 5.2 and Beta 5.3 as they came out. When I go to the opt-in/out page on google, it shows that my Pixel 7 Pro can only opt-in.

Does that mean that I won't automagically receive the QPR (because I really don't want it, I want 14 stable and preferably without losing data or starting over from scratch)

Also, I'm rooted.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Since you didn't opt in, there's nothing special to do. Manually flashing does not opt you in.

Correct, you should not automatically receive ANY Beta OTA, no matter what the Beta OTA is for.

Being rooted or not has had different effects on taking OTAs over the years. I don't bother keeping track of what the latest is, because things change fast, but no matter what - at minimum, if an OTA update works, you wouldn't be rooted at the end of it until you manually go through the process of re-rooting it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gpvecchi:
Correct me if I'm wrong: without opting out, we can manually flash stable 14 if this comes out before QPR bets, right?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, you can. But if you're still opted in, you'll get the OTA from Stable 14 to QPR1 Beta 1. So you could, at the same time or near enough to each other, manually flash Android 14 Stable, and opt-out, although sometimes there is some overlap, and it takes some time for the opting out to be reflected, so you might still be offered an OTA from Stable 14 to QPR1 Beta 1, but as long as you keep declining to take such an OTA, then eventually you'll be left on Stable without any more trouble.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Okay, nothing to see here yet, I guess. A moment ago, https://www.google.com/android/beta had the text:

but now it's back to:

I notice Google does this sometimes. The text gets switched around on one of their pages, and then switched back. Sometimes it happens repeatedly and quickly.

Edit: And now it's back to QPR1. We'll see if it stays.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:

But will this mean new bands on the 7 Pro or just on the 8 Pro? 🤔 I don't trust Google after the mess they pulled with n77 on the older Pixels. They said it would be enabled, it was even in the specs for the P5, and then backed out.

In fact it's still listed to this day on the Google spec site.

5G Sub-6: Bands n1/2/3/5/7/8/12/28/41/66/71/77/78

Pixel phone hardware tech specs - Pixel Phone Help

Check out the tech specs for Pixel phones. If you're interested in buying a Pixel phone, visit the Google Store. Pixel

support.google.com
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LLStarks:
Release 16 includes a bunch of bands that will be useful in the next few years. US benefits the most.

n77 DoD for 3.45 GHz in US and other special n77 cases around the world (requires extendedBand-n77-r16)

n14 for AT&T/FirstNet

n26 for T-Mobile or Dish when they figure out a spectrum deal

n29 for Dish

n30 for AT&T

n46 for unlicensed 5 GHz NR-U

n48 for CBRS licenses

n96 for unlicensed 6 GHz NR-U

n13, a Release 17 band, is apparently already supported for Verizon deep in the modem yet n70, a Release 15 band, for Dish isn't? Europe will need Release 17 for n67. Same for T-Mobile and n262. A phone doesn't automatically support bands.

Source: https://www.sqimway.com/nr_band.php/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I guess we will see what happens. Past history says Google can't be relied on their word until they do it. It's funny though, n30 is listed as supported by the P7P already yet n77 DoD is not.

The whole band support thing is totally obnoxious anyway. My S23 Ultra doesn't include support for n14, n46, n96, or n70 and it's brand new.

If only Samsung supported the third party community like Google does. No one would be buying pixels in my opinion.

Does this all require new hardware or a software/firmware update only when it comes to the pixels?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I disagree. I loved my Galaxy S3 back in 2014, but having come from the Pixel 1 and trying the Note 10+ from 2020 until the Pixel 6 Pro came out, I couldn't stand it for many reasons.

But I think it would be different if Google and Samsung work together to make a bootloader unlocked phone that was supported like the pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As long as it ran AOSP out of the box, or technically Google's slight spin on AOSP, and not OneUI along with Samsung's services/apps that duplicate Google's.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rester555:
That's exactly the perfect combination for the best device in my opinion. Samsung's hardware with AOSP with an unlocked bootloader
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Absolutely! That might be my dream device too, although I feel in the last few years (sometime after the Note 10+), Samsung and Qualcomm started cheapening out on some aspects of their hardware. I don't think that I'm impressed by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in my Tab S8 Ultra, and I was surprised that the Pixel 7 Pro has USB 3.2 Gen 2 instead of Gen 1 like the Tab S8 has.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xunholyx:
I loved my S3 too, but it was gone by mid 2014. It came out in 2012. I had the S2, GNex, and the S3. When Knox was announced for the S4 I jumped ship and went to HTC until the Pixel 2 series. Now I can't see myself leaving the Pixel line
