I posted recently about my struggles with my new 7a battery. I installed android 14 beta today and going to bed after 4 hours SOT I’ve got 50% battery left, the difference is ridiculous.

From my reading I’m led to believe Google will find a way to lose the gains by the time the release is final but I have my fingers crossed, it’s turned the phone from a regret to a sound purchase so far.

    Oof. Doing a clean wipe sounds awful with MFA and email and other work stuff I have on my phone. I think I might skip and just plug my phone in more often for now and hope for the best lol.

      Yeah it scared me too. If you’re happy already no harm sticking with the same. But if you do find it frustrating, it’s a very mature beta and has worked flawlessly for me so far.
