Attention New Beta Members!

theblackcobra — Fri, 30 May 2025 12:52:57 GMT

Welcome! Those who have never been a Beta participant please don't get discouraged as things are NOT going to work. If you joined you were informed of bugs in the Beta. Try not to get the urge to leave and end up factory resetting your phone. I have been in several Beta and have always been able to find workarounds on daily necessities. As for customizing your device please be patient as these will take awhile to get working again. Happy Beta-ing!!!!!

I was aware of the bugs and stuff but I had no idea would lose access to Good Lock, didn't do enough research. Is it normally out of commission until the stable release or how does that work? Other than that, no regrets joining the Beta!

Yes some modules do work though such as sound assistant,theme park,register and camera assistant for me not sure of any others running...usually don't get updated during the beta as many changes happen every release

I will never join a beta again! I have lost so many things I use daily and not seeing anything really new! I wish I could go back.

You can go back. You can select "leave beta" and then reinstall the latest official software.

Yes and remember to back up your data as you will need to factory reset your device. Good luck!

Beta testing isn't for everyone. You have to be extremely patient and understand that not everything is going to be perfect immediately and this is how the software issues are found due to the different ways we each use our phones and the apps we choose to install. I'm a nerd and love Beta testing this is my 4 or 5th and will continue. Remember as you find issues make sure to send the feedback ASAP so they can get the correct information to see what all was going on at the same time the issue happened. All in all, be patient and have fun.

I'm curious to hear about features that aren't working for folks. Everything seems fine to me. I honestly haven't noticed any issues. Quite frankly, I'm really not noticing any significant differences from the stable release.

This has been the most trouble free beta I've ever used. Works great so far

So far Clock alarm not working but there is a fix through Galaxy Store. Secure folder fingerprints issue as well as it locking. Samsung Wallet issues have been reported as well.

I agree other then Good lock home screen not being available this has been very smooth. And I have been Beta testing for years

Yes. Well put! I believe this is my 5th? I can't remember 😂. But it definitely is a process, and having all of the different perspectives from a variety of users is the goal, so don't give up unless your phone is seriously having some issues (a factory reset can be a last resort if you still want to stay in! )
Hang in there and log those bugs!!
It's rewarding to see a thing we all discuss and suggest get implemented! Your voice really does matter.
