On the website it said "You don't have any devices". I think it will take a few days before Pixel 8 series get supported.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Through the flash tool, or you mean for opting in, officially?

You probably already know this, but you can still use either the factory image or OTA, in the meantime:

Opting in, did it via de flash tool now. But be care full, you will get an OTA to go back to stable..
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks! Do you at least get the option to not take the OTA, or is it forced?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] justjacco:
I didn't download the OTA. So let's hope it will not do it tonight.

Downgrade? Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1.2 is an upgrade from Android 14 Stable. I'm confused. :)

Edit: Nevermind, I gotcha. From earlier. Got it. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] justjacco:
No problem! Glad they added the P8 series to the beta. Happy testing! ✨🎉
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I don't have a working tester at the moment, but this phone is still charging at a fairly high speed even at 70%. Really would like to see a charging curve.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
Tomorrow I'll set up my P8P. As I'll root my phone, I will not be able to use the automatic OTA (to keep root).

So, if I manually flash newest firmwares, why should I opt-in into beta? Shouldn't I just manually flash it?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I just manually flashed it without opting in.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Indeed. The only reason to opt-in is if you're planning on taking the automatic OTAs, which would typically mean if you're not rooted.

"Can" and "or" being the operative words. :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sam2c:
So I just opted out of beta. I'm on AP11. Even though the instructions said you can opt out and NOT lose your data at this time, the stable update I just received says all data will be lost!

Whats going on?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You must not take any OTA until the stable QPR2 is released. When the QPR you were testing goes stable, that's when you can take the OTA.

I think I remember that someone came up with a way to prevent an already downloaded OTA from applying, but I don't recall the details.

CC: @Lughnasadh, @badabing2003 - do either of you know or remember?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sam2c:
thanks for clearing that up for me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I think @badabing2003 added an option to cancel an OTA update in Pixel Flasher.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I've been having problems with the canary builds. I wiped the other day for unrelated reasons and everything is fine until the "additional setup required" reboot for Magisk. That reboot lead to boot loops and was something I could replicate even after multiple factory flashes to end the loops and try rooting again.

Had to go with stable instead.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
I had that happen too but after the second reboot it was fine......so I think.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Interesting. The latest released Canary and Stable builds should be the same as no commits were added between the release of Stable 27.0 and Canary 27001 two weeks ago. I haven't had any problems when updating the OS and re-rooting with Canary, but I haven't wiped so my Magisk data wasn't wiped, therefore didn't get the "additional setup required".
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Doesn't necessarily mean anything important, but the Canary apk is 4 bytes larger than the Stable apk.

How's everyone's battery life on Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] krusir:
I thought most of us did not run it yet. OTA is broken, flash factory will require bootloader unlocked.

I don't like gpay and some of bank, work app not run when bootloader unlocked, even I am running stock.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Pixel86:
I flashed it via fastboot (clean install). Re-lock the bootloader prior to first boot.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
While I understand that advice for them, I would never recommend locking the bootloader (and disabling OEM unlocking) while running non-Stable Android. I don't remember the particulars, but I believe I've seen users who have had quirks where their ability to re-enable OEM unlocking became grayed out.

Also, with a locked bootloader, if something else goes wrong with a future flash, the options available to fix the issue diminish.

Just as long as @krusir is aware that things can go wrong or even horribly wrong.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] krusir:
Totally understood the recommendation. I'd like and keep bootloader unlocked if that GPAY and Other banking/work apps runs. Root with some Magisk Module can overcome this situation but I did encounter that everything works (gpay, bank...etc) but the microsoft app for work did not pass.

I really hope that Google won't block "unlocked bootloader + un-root stock rom" case. The unlocked bootloader can give us piece of mind to be easier recover when things goes to wrong side.

I am in Italy, and since some days ago I was with stock on my P8P, with a lot of issues during calls (the people on the other side often didn't ear my voice, or my voice were metallic). Now I am with QPR3 Beta2.1, with new modem and new kernel, and every call issue is solved, with excellent battery and no overheating.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] krusir:
Thanks for confirm the new modem/kernel works well. I am waiting to see "when" Google will make OTA available. I don't want to flash the factory image due to the effort to re-setup the whole thing. With locked bootloder, I have no control to "not wipe" for flash factory build.

OTA is probably still broken
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Besides the Factory Image as badabing2003 mentioned, you might be able to use their online tool:

Both the Factory Image and the official (online) tool require your bootloader to be unlocked, but that's always recommended when Beta testing, anyway.

Heads up that the QPR3 Stable will likely be released in three days, although there can always be exceptions that it might be a little longer than that, so if you can hold off flashing the QPR3 Beta, you'll be on QPR3 Stable before you know it.

No promises from me on that, though. :D

I am currently rooted on the October image. The root went smoothly using factory image. I did not have to use September's init_boot or do anything different from before.

I believe I found a Bluetooth bug with the October release where it keeps my Garmin Venu 2 from activating Google Assistant. I am hoping that QPR might fix this problem.

Question: Is flashing QPR as straightforward as with other phones? Using the QPR, patch the factory init_boot, flash the image, and flash the init_boot?

Any one with the update could share their experience here? For me, P8P out of the box performes pretty well except this scrolling stuttering issue. If Beta 2.1 fixs this I will install, if not, I'd rather stay with current A14 stable.....

Usually jumps in Beta as soon as it's relased, also love to work around hiccupps of beta (it's kind of fun for me to try to game the system.) however, the roller caster ride of A14 beta experience with P6P just makes me think before leap this time....
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lilhaiti:
I installed it 2 days ago, haven't really seen much of a difference from from Beta 2. My P8P was updated to Beta 2 from day 1 so I can't speak for stock 14, but I have not noticed any stuttering at all, it has been super smooth in daily use. I believe beta 2.1 is just a modem update and probably a few minor fixes because it was pretty small.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] stu5797:
Will there be issues if I dirty flash this beta and then go back to stock?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MariusKv:
If you go back to stock, you have to wipe

Can somebody please post a list of the stock apps after a clean install?

Could it be Pixel Ambient Service or Motion Sense Bridge?

And, reflashing the OTA will bring it back?

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] lssong99:
If you are rooted, just re-flash with factory image (don't forget to remove the -w option in flash-all.bat or .sh, depends on your system. So it will not wipe data.)

Factory image contains all files and update regardless what is in your phone.

If you are not rooted, the app you deleted maybe still be able to be found on Google play. It may comeback after OTA or not. However it should not affect daily use unless you specifically need the function it provides.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wiktor44:
Mines still stuttering but less (I think Reddit will always be a mess but there's definitely still an issue). I've logged it on the issue tracker and provided Google with logs and perfetto traces... Hoping this can be ironed out soon.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Disclaimer: I don't fool with betas these days, so I can't give first-hand experience.

But observing what other users have experienced over the last two years on QPR Betas, some users don't have to wipe anything, while others have a better experience wiping everything (factory reset). I don't recall anyone mentioning wiping just cache. I wouldn't do a factory reset unless you actually experience any problems.
