I'm facing tons of issues on the Android 14 beta1 on my pixel 7. Finger print unlock doesn't work, apps crash home screen freezing home swipe doesn't work, and tons of bugs. Going back to stable Android 13 beta 🥲

Was revertiing to 13 from Beta 14 OTA and once it reset I got a white screen with "Google". I don't think 13 got totally installed. And device state is locked on Fastboot mode so its not letting me use the flash mode. Anyone have advice?

A helpfull tips. I not sure Google have fix their ADB & Fastboot or not. When I use ADB & Fastboot version 34.0.0, it fail to flash the Android 14 Developer Preview 1. I thought I do something wrong but luckly not. I was panic for in about half an hour because when I ask for sited person to see my screen, it just stuck at charging logo. Just an information, I'm a blind visually impaired person. To fix that problem, I use ADB & Fastboot version 33.0.3 (1 previous version from 34.0.0).

Android 14 destroyed my phone. Before it was 58/128 GB full, and now it's 112/128 GB. I can't access my files, photos, and videos, and i cant vieuw or download the photos and videos people send me. The only noticable changes are a theme app and the lock screen.

I have an Oppo a57s.

If you want to edit or modify files please don't got to Android 13 or 14 once you go you cannot modify files. For example if you want to modify any app's data you can't. You can modify any apps only way is root.
