Same here as well! I guess my question was about when this would move out of beta channel. Any estimates? I would like to return my settings back to stable when possible.

    Sifer hakayova The Beta channel releases are the same production releases as the Stable channel releases. It's the same release that's going to reach Stable soon. We still have to go through some more testing despite the urgency to avoid causing another issue which could impact more people. The public testing process failed to stop this set of regressions reaching Stable so it's not as if you have much to lose by bypassing it and using it a bit earlier. The public testing process clearly isn't working as well as needed because people are often not reporting the issues they encounter with the Alpha and Beta channels but rather waiting for someone else to do it. There were surely a bunch of people with broken cellular support on 5th gen Pixels but it didn't get reported so we didn't know there was a compatibility issue until around 20h after public Beta testing started and around 22h after Alpha. It a while to get reports with all the needed info when it reached Stable too which caused most people to end up getting the update...

          Thank you again so much for taking time to answer my question in such detail.

          I have a Pixel 8 and I have not been able to use 5G NR since about three days ago (so that aligns with the 20240917 update). How do I try to debug this? This has persisted with the latest update (20240919).

            GrapheneOS I tried the "Internet Reset" option in "Network and Internet", doesn't seem to have changed anything. I don't currently have another 5G phone to compare it with, so I'm not sure what other steps I can take to debug this.

              GrapheneOS This is most probably unrelated to the updates, because my phone was able to pick up an NR signal very easily when I switched SIM cards to a different carrier.

                  Would it make sense for individuals to try actively searching for problems as sort of dedicated testers or can that can only be helped by more people in alpha and willing to report? If so, is there a certain method to do this that you can recommend or some specific things one should look for?

                  I'm always looking for a way to support this project (besides contributing money or code). Should this be an area in which I could be of use, I'd gladly put regular effort into it.

                  If you have better suggestions for things I could do to help you and on how to best support the project, please tell me!:)

                      fxnn The Beta channel testers are the main ones responsible for catching issues like this. Alpha channel testing is very quick to maximize the time in the Beta channel. Alpha channel testers are protecting Beta channel users from massive issues and Beta channel users are protecting Stable channel users from serious issues. It really shouldn't have been possible for such a prominent issue as the 5th gen IPv6-only carrier compatibility issue to make it through Beta testing. There are definitely at least dozens of people who experienced the issue during Beta testing. We're having a problem with issues not being reported. It started being reported very quickly once it was in Stable despite going through 24h of testing with 0 reports, and we do have a lot of people using Alpha/Beta. Something went very wrong with the public testing process this time. Nothing we can really do about it now. We can do longer testing periods in the future but we think the issue is people haven't been clearly instructed to quickly report regressions in Alpha/Beta channel releases.

                        GrapheneOS I am still getting call ended. I have a Pixel 6, my phone is set to auto system update with new releases, but still no update? I have reset my phone that does nothing either. Can anyone help or when it might update? I can not even make a call atm.

                            Bdesign Which version are you on? You can check in Settings > System > About phone > Build number

                            If your phone isn't on 2024091900 and you're not getting an update, then make sure the updater app is enabled and has the network permission. From the owner profile, check: Settings > Apps > All apps > *3 dots in upper right-hand corner* > Show system > System Updater

                            If your phone is up to date, you can try resetting mobile network settings from the owner profile here: Settings > System > Reset options > Reset mobile network settings

                                a month later

                                Bdesign I am having this same issue now on the Pixel 6. Resetting my network settings does not seem to fix the issue. Any advice?

                                    Emerald I am on the current latest release. Although this problem started before the Android 15 releases. (I assumed it was carrier maintainence)
