Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We're considering porting them to Android 14 to continue providing extended support longer than initially planned to keep them as a way to preview the current version of the OS despite them not being secure. It will be a significant effort to port them properly without lost functionality and we're looking for a new developer to fund rather than reassigning any developers from their existing work on the OS.

I agree. I was impressed with Android 14 being out within a few days after public release, but I wish they would have taken their time. It doesn't feel like I'm on a stable release channel, and I don't think I actually am.

The OS is technically stable, I'm using it daily. These issues were likely edge cases. There's a lot of variable when maintaining such a huge project like an Operating System, so edge cases like these were bound to happen eventually.
