New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 19,2021) follows:

There’s always a mist of excitement for newer major Android updates among the users, or at least among Android and tech enthusiasts in general.

The latest major and big update is Android 12 which takes things to a whole new level. That’s because this version of Android has been completely overhauled from its roots. Major UX changes are incoming with this one.

A brand new fresh coat of Android was needed since the same design language had been followed since Android Lollipop. Google will deliver a whole new design experience with Android 12 which is why many are excited for the same.

Though what’s not exciting is the phase of beta updates for early adopters of the update. They have to go through bugs, glitches in UI, and other sorts of stuff that hampers the experience.

Also, if you’ve an eligible Android 12 beta device, be sure to check out the issues that are currently present on Android 12 before hitting that install button.

Well, actually that’s what betas are for – to test and figure out all issues and delegate the same to Google.

With that being said, one of the issues Pixel users with Android 12 beta 3 are facing is that their device goes into bootloop for hours with sometimes no signs of recovering from the same.

My google pixel 3xl is currently bootlooping after about 4 hours our use with the new update. I am able to get to the recovery screen, but when I press any button it just restarts. if I wait on that screen it restarts. As a first responder I need this fixed ASAP. Thanks.

This is certainly not the first time this has happened with Android 12 as in previous beta and developer preview updates, some Pixel users became victims of the bootloop too.

After installing beta 1, and factory resetting, phone hung in loop in setup. Wants me to enter my old pin code, and after i enter it, it takes me right back to copy apps and data screen. Anyone have any ideas?
