I talked to Samsung, and they told me that i didn't miss it and it's rolling out in patches. So its still coming. i think the reviewers and developers got theirs first. Then I believe certain carriers get theirs first and so on.
They released it to the public on Thursday December 5th. It was open to users of the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra that were on Factory Unlocked or T-Mobile locked/branded devices. They have not concluded their beta, so will likely open up more spots as others leave the beta, or as they expand the number of participants they want into the beta. Due to the amount of interest in Android 15, the 1st public beta filled up quickly.
Me too š I wanted to join but it's full which stinks... I joined last year's beta so I'm sad to see that this year's is full. I feel like we've been waiting forever for this and now I can't even join it. Great. I'm just gonna try to join everyday
Most Dumb thing ever, Samsung gotta step it, why limit it? But still I love my Samsung. Just not the updates, takes months or weeks til we actually get an update that rolls out weeks before. Why can't everyone just get the update at the same time
Samsung limits the beta to then number of people for their own specific reasons. I do not know what they are but can guess a couple of scenarios, 1 being that the server that runs the beta may be a single server, or a single cluster, and this can only support a specific number of people, and when they expand it, it is because they are adding more servers to the mix.
As for the timing on your updates, this is not Samsung's doing, but is your carriers. Samsung may have to take some time to get the Android updates in line with One UI, but the real delay here is your carrier deciding what phones get what updates and when. Samsung actually delivers the updates to the carriers in a timely fashion, it is then up to them when they push it to you.
Does everyone understand that a beta is a early buggy version. The purpose of releasing a beta version to a number of testers is to uncover bugs and get feedback on what might be improved. Testers are warned that beta might not be suitable for use on your primary device. Backup before you install. Use at your own risk. Knowing this it's apparent why they can't release to all users.
i'm disappointed too,waited too long, saw new Ui 7 with better interface design , and i desperately hope current weak erase function in photo album to be upgraded soon in new ui 7.
