Wanting to possibly try out android 13 beta I've heard great things about it and it being stable . If I install it, how do I go from the beta to the official OTA. I would be installing the beta OTA but don't know how to install the official OTA when it comes out. Do I just opt out of the beta program then recieve the official OTA ? Thanks for any help

Once the 1st stable version of Android 13 is released (should be early August), there should be a window where you can opt out and then receive the stable version of Android 13 without having to wipe.

You don't have to do anything. BETA will end when the official comes out and you will get that OTA just like any other OTA.
Ok so I don't have to opt out of the beta?

I believe that is correct because there will be no Android 13 betas after that. I've read others who said their next OTA after the last Beta would take them to the final version. The next beta after that will probably be for the QPR1 and would have to be signed up for separately.
Edit: I meant to add that I am a little cautious, so I would probably choose to manually opt-out, anyway.

I've read that if you don't opt out of the beta after stable Android 13 is released that you'll start getting the QPR betas for Android 13, for what it's worth. Excerpt below...
Get Android 13 Beta on a Google Pixel device
"Once enrolled, your device will receive regular over-the-air (OTA) updates for the duration of the platform’s release cycle—including Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs)—unless you opt out earlier.
During the Android Beta for Pixel program’s release cycle, there are four stable releases to the public (the official platform release followed by three Quarterly Platform Releases). When you apply a stable release update, you can opt out of future Beta updates without a data wipe for a limited time (until you apply the next beta update, if you choose to do so)."

Interesting. I did mean to add that I'm a little cautious, so I would probably choose to manually opt-out anyway.
I think the way they word it is funny. They say QPRs, but they don't say QPR Beta (although the next part does mention Beta). Like, if you're on Stable, of course you're going to get the QPR (when it goes Final).
So just run the beta and opt out before August so I know that I'll get the final release in August??

Yeah, the wording is a bit confusing. But since it was all in the section under "Get Android 13 Beta on a Google Pixel Device", I'm assuming they were talking about QPR betas.
They've also said the Android 13 beta program will end in June 2023, so that would suggest that the QPR betas would be included. June 2023 should be when the final stable version of QPR3 (Android 13) will be released so that's why the program would end then, like it did in June this year for the QPR betas for Android 12.

If you opt out before August then you'll be getting the stable version of Android 12 since the stable version of Android 13 would not have been released yet. I've seen reports of people having lots of problems when opting out of A13 beta and getting A12 stable. You would also have to wipe.
You should opt out during the window right after the 1st stable version of Android 13 is released, which should be in early August.
The only reason I would opt out of the a13 beta is to get the stable final release , not to go back to 12.. thanks sounds like I should opt out right after final is released , then I'll get the final OTA..
Here's another excerpt from their Beta FAQ section. To me it sounds like there will not be a separate QPR Beta program like there was for Android 12:
"Enrolled devices will receive continuous beta updates for the duration of the platform’s release cycle including Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) ahead of the public release schedule, unless you choose to opt out sooner.
Android 13 beta program ends in June 2023 with the public release of the Android June QPR and Pixel Feature Drop"
There's also this:
"You can expect to receive up to two updates automatically per month for each program you’re enrolled in. Note: You will not receive separate monthly security updates while enrolled in the program as they will be part of the beta build"
Note: Of course, I could be interpreting this totally wrong
Android Beta Program
Android Beta Program allows you to enroll your Android device for beta releases.

Maybe I'll just wait till final OTA push in August it's not to far away to wait instead of messing with beta..

Hey everyone,
I joined the beta program to get onto 8.1 but am now realizing that Snoke and Flash kernel both only work on 8.0, and am worried that if I stay on the beta I will continue to miss out on future kernels. Leaving the beta program would require me to downgrade and lose all my data, so is there a way that I can leave the beta program but stay on 8.1 until the official release comes out then stay on the official releases after that? If the official release comes out and both the beta and official channels are on the same release, would leaving the beta cause me to lose all data?
Thanks in advance.
I've enrolled in the beta program and am currently on beta 2, do beta enrollers also get final update? So potentially i could skip beta updates until the final has gone OTA in case of any bugs?
Yes you will get the final build and than you can unenroll without wiping.

Thank you that's great to know, will unenroll when the final has aired.
So I know that right now to go back to stable from the beta you'll need to use the rollback release and then wipe (blah blah blah); but what I'm really wondering is this: so say that I join the beta. Whenever the stable Oreo finally releases, would I be able to flash the new stable Oreo over the beta? Or would I need to do a wipe? Also, would the last Oreo beta be a "stable", or would that channel just be beta until the support for the phone is dropped? Sorry for the dumb questions, just really couldn't find an answer.

I have another question, will they keep releasing beta versions now that there is a stable version out? Really my question is that is there any reason to stay on the beta builds, now that there is a stable release.
I would think that there would be more beta releases, otherwise why would they release ob3, then a day later release the stable?

I don't think the stable build rolling out now has all the features that the open beta 3 has. I assume the beta builds are still going to continue and be pertinent.
Hi all, I have been making use of the developer ROMs from the official site because they tend to be much more stable than the nightly betas and also have an optional fastboot version available for download which I prefer.
The frequency of these developer releases have been weekly or fortnightly until the 19th of last month (April).
I was just wondering if anyone had some inside information on when the next possible release for developer ROM would be and if they know if it will include the newly seen Android P-style appearance of the May 11th nightly beta.
Hanging out for the 19th of this month as maybe they've changed the release frequency to monthly but I got the feeling they were dropping it momentarily to work on the Mix 2s. Any information would be wonderful! :good: :good:
Edit: Found my answer, Xiaomi has discontinued further development builds as of April 26. News that next release will be MIUI 10. https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/miui-9-development-xiaomi-discontinued-miui-10-1843365

If it's the China dev rom you are on then the official releases have been postponed until june.
The new UI will probably be officially released then, but miui 10 is also around the corner.

Nah Global Developer, most recent is 19th April. Most recent Chinese Dev is 8th May.
This firmware version came to my phone as a large 1107MB OTA update. At first I thought it was just a normal security patch with some fixes,
but turns out it isn't.
MIUI Forum - Beta Stable OTA Announcement - August 30th, 2018
According to the page above, this is a Beta Stable ROM.
What does this mean? Xiaomi just chose me and a bunch of other users as beta testers at random?
Will we have a final stable version to download at some point?
Or are we stuck in this Beta Update Channel?
-----------------------
The September 2018 security patch has been released today for the regular Mi A2 (Jasmine), but not for the A2 Lite (Daisy), and I suspect the above is the exact reason for this.
Very confusing, could someone please clarify?

If any of you finally receive the september 2018 security update, post here as a reply.

There's no changelog of any kind. It's completely stable, not sure why it's still a beta.
