Eager to see the new Lock screen customization they have shown on the I/O

[luissarteaga]

Let's wait for BETA 3, it promises personalized wallpapers

I love that android 13 and 14 are adding little attention to detail touches whole also fixing bugs. Google should really work on every little detail so that weird stuters don't occur and we can get back to the level of polishness of android 11

I have been waiting for that basic white and black theme for years!!!

[DawnCrusader]

Great video as always. Everything after Android 12 feels like breadcrumb updates... You'd think they would finally add the ability to Double Tap to lock the screen or the ability to remove the At a Glance and Search Bar widget..

[SneezingEagle]

Nice surprise having this download over night...my phone is a hell of a lot more stable than the previous beta! Can't wait to try out the wallpaper features mentioned in the io!

[godstenrules]

I like being able to choose or having the phone choose the color palette theme. I hope Android 14 doesn't take that feature away.

What I like before (which we don't have currently) is when you change your wallpaper, you had the option to have the phone choose the color palette theme or choose the color palette theme yourself.

Curious when Android 14 will come out to the public and for non-pixel phones.

Flash notifications in the OS finally!

Any way that I can add my nfc access card (ie my gym room card) to my pixel device? Just like what Samsung Wallet is able to provide? It seems like there is a limitation on the nfc module, making it unable to emulate the signal. But I saw someone on the Internet rooting the phone and using third party apps like card emulator pro are able to achieve that. Is it possible that Google tweak some of its system files on its next update to make it happen so that I don't need to root my phone?

My biggest problem since android 12 is that they still haven't done anything with the data off sign that just always stays there. I know it's on purpose to let you know you can't use cellular data. But we already have the LTE sign when mobile data is turned on to know if the cellular data is on or not. There was no need to reinvent the wheel here. It kind of fells like they did it on purpose so people cellular data on all the time(who knows?!!). And also there is no true darkmode across the whole system like in app drawer and settings.

The issues I had with Android 14 Beta 1 on my Pixel 7 Pro was I couldn't access my voicemail and Google Messages Beta was acting really crazy. I see Beta 2.1 has been released so maybe they fixed the issues. Great video as usual!

[worthless_opinion]

2:07 About damn time. The most useful update in Android 14 for me.

[martinklaus]

Enforcing dynamic icons for all apps is the next important step for Google.

[samblethen]

The Roaming setting has disappeared. How do I turn it on in android 14?

[TonyP_Yes-its-Me]

Why can't you still remove the date and weather from your home screen? I use a launcher, so I can put a digital clock there.

[phalhappy]

I wish there is a option to turn off poping notification when in fullscreen video without the need to manually turn on no disturb mode before I watch video.

[tanay]

How did you got the new tab button in chrome near address bar? This option is no more in my app after recent updates

[ashtont.griffin]

Still having problems with volume in zoom meetings. 4:12 Second, I still have a problem loading the VPN in Google 1.

[GurveerKhera]

It would have been FUN had they placed an Easter egg on Lock Screen Password... Like a Triangle for 3, Square for 4, Pentagon for 5 and so on.

[LucianVintila]

Be aware of the fact you lose the google wallet payment feature, because the phone is not meeting anymore the security requirements. This is odd, the beta 1 was ok, but it can be the biggest draw back of this iteration.
