A topic for Android 14 Beta users. Beta 1 is out. Four betas are expected and then final release. It is available for Google Pixel now other manufacturers may vary. I have Pixel 5a. As expected A14 has not magically delivered LTE or 5G for me on Spark.

Phone network indicators did not display correctly. One additional reboot solved that problem.

Compared to previous android major versions this feels like a minor refresh. I have minor issues with the home screen failing to appear after closing apps. This is easily fixed with rotation and back. I have no app problems so far.

Not delivered LTE? Do you mean VoLTE?

Thanks yes correct VoLTE has never been available on Spark for Pixel 5a. No issues with LTE, before or after.

Many users are experiencing network issues with 14 Beta 1. No real problems for me.

Google released Android 14 Beta 1.1 to address some issues.

1.1 does not install on my device. Fails with "There was an issue preparing to restart. Please try again later". Plenty of space. I have cleared a few caches too. I have enabled hidden files in file manager. I suspect a corrupt download. I can't find it easily. I will let it slide until Beta 2.
