Google Releases Android 14 Beta 5.2 with Bug Fixes

Google has released the Android 14 Beta 5.2 update for eligible devices. This update is a minor bug fix release, and it does not include any new features.

The Android 14 Beta 5.2 update addresses a number of bugs that were present in the previous beta release. These bugs include:

• An issue that caused the fingerprint sensor to be unresponsive in some cases.
• An issue that caused Perfetto trace data to be incomplete.
• An issue that caused stuttering animations when viewing or tapping the notification for an ongoing call.
• An issue that caused the system UI to crash after using the fingerprint sensor.
• An issue that caused the screen to briefly flicker when unfolding the device.

If you are enrolled in the Android 14 Beta program, you can download the Android 14 Beta 5.2 update from the Settings > System > System update menu.

The Android 14 Beta 5.2 update is the last scheduled update in the Android 14 beta program. The official release of Android 14 is expected to take place in a few weeks.

If you are not currently enrolled in the Android 14 Beta program, you can sign up by visiting the Android Beta website. To be eligible for the beta program, you need to have a Pixel device.

The Android 14 Beta program is a great way to try out the latest features of Android before they are released to the public. If you are interested in testing Android 14, I encourage you to sign up for the beta program.
