All About Android 13 Beta 4

Today’s release of the fourth and final Android 13 beta contains a release candidate build for Pixel phones and the Android emulator. There aren’t any noticeable user-facing changes in this, the final beta before the upcoming official release, however there are some final system behaviours and the most recent bug fixes and optimizations, such as:

Fixed a problem where some Bluetooth-paired devices could be seen to connect and disengage from the device quickly.

• The Google Camera app on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones no longer crashes randomly.
• The system no longer falsely reported Android 12 as the device’s Android version when a user checked for system updates by going to Settings > System > System update, even when the device had previously been successfully updated to an Android 13 release.
• On Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones, a problem was fixed where the Now Playing page occasionally became stuck when downloading the song database.

6. When you let off of the volume up button, recovery will start completely.
7. Next, scroll down to Apply update via ADB using the volume buttons. To choose the choice, press the power button.
