Hey everyone! I thought I’d post this here since the android beta only has 18 subscribers on Lemmy.
I recently downloaded the Android 14 QPR, and in the update message it claimed I could opt out without wiping my phone before “applying” the update. I did opt out, but after beginning the download. After the download and installation, my phone wants to download the stable release of Android 13 and do a full wipe. I assumed “applying” meant actually installing the update rather than downloading.
Is there any way to get around this, or did I just misunderstand the message and opt out in the wrong order and essentially screw myself?
To be clear: I don’t mean roll back to stable without wipe, I’m fine with the beta version I have now. I intended to opt out and not get any more updates until release.
Idk where you read that but I think you are stuck now. If you had opted out before taking QPR1, you could have waited for the official Android 14 release and updated to that without wiping. I believe you are going to have to wait for the official QPR1 in December to get back to “stable” with wiping the device. Here’s an article on it.
