Beta Testing

ChrisJimHill — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 20:24:29 GMT

I was on the beta program, however, it rendered me unable to use Google pay and any cards stored on there.

I exited the program, but still I'm unable to use Google pay and it's incredibly frustrating.

Is anybody aware of how to remove the the updates or experiencing the same? (I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalled)

Hey there

Are you using an S25 Series device?

Beta 8?

I ask as I am and Google Wallet has been fine all the way through this time.

Are you using Google Wallet?

Google Pay was withdrawn

Currently on the beta myself. Google wallet seems to be working fine. Though you were warned about it breaking when you joined.

Also to be clear, you did reset your device and downgraded it back to one ui 7 right? Just pressing the leave beta button isn't enough

Must be Google Wallet in that case

Indeed. I read the warning, and as a result I've thought it best to withdraw.

This was what I was looking for, how do I downgrade?

To downgrade, you need to install the smart switch software on a computer, connect your phone to that pc via a usb cable, press the downgrade button on that program, this downgrades your phone and wipes all data

I can use Google wallet but some cards will not work so I've downgraded and it's taking hours still in progress 23% for over 1 hr

I've tried to downgrade using the advised steps. However, whenever I plug my phone into my computer, no 'downgrade' button appears. It's incredibly frustrating.
