First problems with Android 15 Beta 1.
• NFC is dead. The settings page is missing all items and Google Wallet requires you to enable NFC, but you obviously can't do it.
• Double headers on some settings pages.
My condolences to those who ignored the recommendation not to install the beta.

Android 15 Beta 1 adds a new "allow WEP networks" toggle under Settings > Network & Internet > Internet > Network preferences that lets you disable connections to Wi-Fi networks secured by WEP.
"WEP is an older security protocol that's less secure", the setting warns.

Earlier this year, I broke the news that Google is bringing back lock screen widget support in Android 15.
I now have more information: This feature is aimed at tablets, like the Pixel Tablet, and not phones.
Full details plus screenshots can be found in my latest article for Android Authority.

Pixel 9 renders with two camera modules have leaked online. There will be 3 models in the Pixel 9 lineup. Previously, the OnLeaks has already published renders of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. But now he has learned that these devices are actually called…
Pixel 9 series will get an updated modem with emergency satellite connectivity support.
As reported by Kamila Wojciechowska (via Android Authority), the Tensor G4 coming to the Pixel 9 series will come with a new Samsung Modem 5400. This modem has support for the 3GPP Release 17 standard, which provides support for "non-terrestrial 5G networks," or in other words, satellite communications.
The modem will appear in all Tensor G4-based devices with cellular support, including the Pixel 9 series and the next-generation Pixel Fold. Google is also reportedly in the early stages of developing a 5G tablet codenamed "clementine" with the same modem.
The satellite connection will allow text messaging, but not calling. In addition, communication with emergency services will be done through a special "Satellite Gateway" app. But for this you will need to point your phone at the satellite, for which Google has prepared a special animation.

Google prepares 'Satellite SOS' emergency feature for Pixel devices. The recent update to the 'Adaptive Connectivity Services' app version p.2024.08 makes preparations for the new 'Satellite SOS' emergency feature. It will allow you to messages emergency…
Here's a first look at the Android Satellite Pointing UI.
While texting with emergency services via satellite, you will need to keep your phone pointed at the satellite. And Google has prepared a special UI for this purpose.
To connect via satellite, you need to "move your phone to center the satellite in the circle". This interface can be minimized into a floating window, which can be useful to stay connected while you texting with emergency services.
The pointing process is accompanied by animations, an example of which was previously shown by Kamila Wojciechowska. During setup, you will see a special notification from Satellite SOS that asks you to "get a clear view of sky by avoiding buildings, trees and mountains".
This interface is part of the Adaptive Connectivity Services app and is currently not available to users.
