How to download Android Nougat Beta
Downloading Android N is quite simple with the Google’s
Android Beta Program. If your handset has the program, you will be able to
receive the OTA updates to the attest Android version.
- To
enroll in the program, open the browser on your Nexus handset that is
compatible and go to co/androidbeta.
You will be needed to sign in to your Google account.
- Swipe
down through the page and you will find a heading written ‘Eligible
devices’ with any compatible Nexus handsets that are signed into your
account.
- Find
the handset you want to enroll to the program and then click the ‘Enroll
device’ button.
- Check
the box to agree to the term and conditions, and then tap ‘Join beta’.
- A
message pops up to tell you that your handset has been enrolled and will
soon start receiving OTA updates to the beta version of Android. Tap Ok.
- The
update notification arrives on your handset immediately for some, though
it can also take up to 24 hours. In case you do not receive an update
notification, check that you are connected to the internet. If you do, go
to Settings>About>System updates, and then
check for the updates.
- If you
have ever manually flashed Android on your device, you won’t be able to
receive the OTA updates. Instead, you will be needed to manually install
Android Nougat on the device.
- After
the update notification pops up, swipe down the notification bar and then
tap Download.
- In the
next Window, you will be told that it will install a preview version of
the Android Nougat. Connect your handset to Wi-Fi and the click Download.
- After
the download is complete, you can install the Android Nougat Beta. Click
Restart & Install to start the process.
Uninstall Android N Beta
Uninstalling or removing Android Beta is as simple as
installing it. Go to the Android Beta Programme page and tap Unenroll device
button which is next to your Nexus handset. Doing this wipes your data, so make
sure you back it up.
