There's a way of ensuring you have a better experience with your device, especially after updates.  Clearing the cache partition helps prevent some bugs and glitches.  This is done from the bootloader at phone startup.  

Here's a link with instructions: https://youtu.be/cwoJu0L8k38

Turn your Android device off. Simultaneously
press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons,
or whatever button combination you need to use
for your phone to boot into Recovery Mode. Use
the volume buttons to navigate the Recovery Mode
menu. Use the power button to select Wipe Cache
Partition.

Hope this helps.. Happy beta testing.

I really can't see how this is a tip for One UI 5.0 Beta 2 Testing. This is a general tip not a BETA TIP.

As mentioned above this should be done on a regular basis. However an important general rule is thumb is you should allow your device to restart from any update, be it system or Beta, BEFORE YOU CLEAR THE CACHE PARTITION.

After a completing a successful update, meaning after you device restarts from an update, you can then safely clear the cache partition. NOT upon restarting from an update.

Oh ok.. Feel free to create a post of your own detailing what you think would be a good "beta tip," and how to go about doing it. Have an awesome day.

The beta is open to a wide range of users that possess various skill and knowledge levels. Not everyone on here knows about it or how to do it. Posting it in tips is a great idea. The moderator provided instructions to do this for several users in last year's beta. If you feel that your knowledge and experience level are above every other user perhaps you could join a different forum or do as ucancwhatic suggested
