In this instance, your data will be lost. We strongly recommend backing up all your data before accessing the software. During the upgrade, the system will optimise in the background. The device may experience temporary overheating and increased power consumption, but will quickly return to normal after the upgrade is complete.

Tap “Import file” and select the previously downloaded package. Follow the steps to carry through with the rollback.

Yevgen

Is there someone from Germany WHO can Tell me do the Sparkassen App Work with the Beta ?

AlyYahyaoui

Thanks for this release !

I’m facing a bug with Bluetooth. When i connect my Ear, I can’t listen any audio from any app ( YT & Spotify)

I tested with a Bluetooth headset, same issue.

did anyone have the same problem?

Yevgen What I can say is if you rely on apps for your critical workflows and are worried they won’t work on the beta, do not upgrade.

AlyYahyaoui Thanks for flagging, can you log this as a bug via settings > system > feedback?

AlyYahyaoui

hrry

Done !

Thanks for your reply.

The camera slider used to be wayyy more smooth, now it’s laggy and tbh I don’t see any improvement in the camera department 😞 .

Anonymous98

God damn I could take better pics on a tamagotchi 🥴😂

KaushtubhShrivastava

AkanshJain Yes you can, I have been trying beta for NOS 2 and now for NOS 3, never had to factory reset, it installed like any other normal update.

tomkarbowski

Vishwam I have it and there’s no share option

Hardik_Sarda

I have one issue and one suggestion after i installed the open beta. Hoping to hear from the team soon.

Issue:

Long pressing the torch icon in the quick settings panel doesn’t switch to glyph torch like it used to before the update. Can you fix this?

Suggestion:

Instead of the smart drawer, we should have the option to make folders as per our ease so that its fairly simpler to navigate the app drawer

Natalie ✨

Not getting the beta update 😔

Anonymous297

Hardik_Sarda that is not a bug, its intended to do it, now you can turn on glyph directly with its button.

JefRoftin

maciek8432 Glad to hear that. I’ll wait for stable update ☺️

PatelNadim Go to your Settings- System- Scroll down you will see Update to Beta version

The battery drain, especially on Wi-Fi, appears to be higher on the beta. Anyone else also experiencing the same?

Nothing001

If I move to stable nothing os 3.0 from beta 3.0 data will be lost or data will remain??

You must be in NOS 2.6-241016-1700 build before install Open beta. Is very important

Mr.Raj

No option to remove existing clock face in clock screen.

we can just modify or when we expand widget area, it will set to default font and style
