Hi Beta users,

Today we’re releasing Android 14 Beta 3 (UPB3.230519.008) which includes our latest fixes and optimizations. We’ve also enabled Android Beta enrollment for the new Pixel 7a!

The following issues are fixed in Beta 3:

• Fixed issues that prevented Wi-Fi calling from being enabled for some devices and carriers. (Issue #277964472)
• Fixed an issue that caused Direct My Call interactions to fail in some cases where they would normally work. (Issue #278252154)
• Fixed system issues that caused unnecessary power consumption in some cases.
• Fixed system stability issues that caused UI jank in some cases.
• Fixed an issue that caused the system Settings app to crash while setting the wallpaper.
• Fixed an issue with the system UI that could cause a GPU hang, leading to “Application Not Responding” (ANR) errors.
• Fixed a system issue that could sometimes cause a device’s GPS services to stop working until the device was rebooted.
• Fixed issues with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) that could prevent devices from being able to make Wi-Fi calls in some cases.
• Fixed an issue where a blank screen displays after selecting the “Message” option for a recent caller in the Google Phone app.
• Fixed an issue where while 3-button navigation was enabled for a device, putting Google Maps into picture-in-picture mode made the picture-in-picture window disappear.
• Fixed an issue where locking and unlocking a device while playing a video in the Google TV app could cause the device to freeze.
• Fixed an issue with Android Auto where some users could be asked to re-pair Bluetooth.
• Fixed issues with Health Connect, including the following issues and other API and system behaviors:
  • An issue where the system back button stopped working while Health Connect integration was in progress.
  • An issue where the Route Permissions screen would sometimes freeze.
  • An issue where Health Connect sometimes couldn’t be accessed in system settings.
  • An issue where the data category page of Health Connect was missing some permission types when a filter was applied.

Known Issues:

• An issue with the Credential Manager platform APIs causes instability in apps that use them. A fix is available in the latest preview version of the Android 14 SDK, which developers can install using Android Studio. Developers who previously installed a preview version of the Android 14 SDK should completely uninstall the previous version and then reinstall the SDK to apply the fix.
• An issue with the system UI sometimes causes the screen to flicker when a video is playing or an app is using in picture-in-picture mode.
• In some cases, video continues playing in the background even after closing an app if the video was playing in picture-in-picture mode when it was closed.
• A video that is playing in picture-in-picture mode stops playing abruptly if the back gesture is used within the PiP settings screens.
• A system issue can sometimes cause the Android System Intelligence service to crash.
• When using a device with a work profile, the Google Play Store app in the work profile hangs or crashes when launched.
