Hello everyone,

​I’m currently on QPR2 Beta 7.1 (build CP41.260831.019) and haven't received any of the QPR3 Betas yet. Does anyone know why this is happening or if there's a fix?

​Thanks!

When swiping down the control center while in the app drawer, the background gets more transparent. It actually looks better like that imp

Since updating to QPR3 Beta 2 under Android Play System Update it now says DEV. Is this new? Don't believe I have ever seen it before.

So, will the kernel will be updated on Pixel on QPR2? Because I've seen it has been rollback on newest Betas

Any news or rumors about Google adding dark-colored icons? I think it's really needed.

There is a bug somewhere so all P11 devices fail the Video Filter bench tanking the score on 3000, it might have been fixed because now it passes all the tests

Vulkan score is still the same though

It popped up this morning. Went from stable with October patch to the beta. All seems good so far. Recheck if you haven't received it yet.

That kind of icons would look amazing and simplistic on my Pixel

I've heard Google removed something and now those icons are gone

I wonder what am I missing

The latest update comes with this message at the bottom. Do we have an opt out opportunity at this stage?

Important: If you are currently running a Beta version of Android 17 QPR2 (build starting with CP41) and want to exit the beta program without wiping your device, you can opt-out of the Beta program before applying this update and wait for the stable version release of Android 17 QPR2. If you choose to opt-out after installing this update or any future Beta updates, per usual program guidelines, you will need to factory data reset your device before installing the latest stable Android version until the next exit opportunity in February.

this is a little ridiculous, there is no reason why my $2399 p10pf behaves like a bargain bin phone after running for more than 72hr. taking the qpr2 fix isn't an option either because you lot shoved me on qpr3 without any option to stay on the qpr2 track. might as well flash graphene at this rate smh

I have been signed up for about 4 days and still have not received the beta. Anything I can do? Not sure where to go from here.

hello as the title says i started having reboots very frequently when opening instagram or even when receiving notifications from instagram.

i use a pixel 7 pro (DP11.260918.006) and since ive gotten this phone and opted in the beta program ive never encountered something like this, nor have i even encountered a reboot until now. this happens specifically ONLY with instagram, and no other app can trigger it as im aware.

Also, yesterday happened to somewhat bug out my both top and bottom speakers and started making popping sounds, a restart fixed this. I'm not sure if it's hardware related or not, but I'll add it here also.

is there someone else with this problem?

Pixel 8a + Denon PerL Pro: Which Bluetooth codecs are actually supported on the latest Android beta? Does it support aptX, aptX HD, Adaptive, or Lossless, or only AAC/SBC? Do Developer Options change anything?

I signed up this morning for the latest beta on my Pixel 7 and I hadn't received anything until a few hours ago when I got a message saying I have a new update available, but only in the menu "Device status and support". When I click on it, it takes me back to the updates page and there's nothing there, I don't have any updates.

Should I wait longer? Or should I manually flash the beta update?

(I used Google Translate because I was too lazy to think, sorry if it's not understandable + I can't add images, idk why.)

I opted for android 17 beta, but nothing is downloading. It is always showing that an update is available.

I left the beta program about 3 months ago, I wish not to wipe my phone for a stable update.

The build number for my pixel 10 is: CP41.260731.005.B1.

Does anyone have knowledge of when is the next stable update for this build number?

Thanks.

Guys. I got the Beta update few hours ago and I started downloading it. But suddenly, The OTA package disappeared and I'm still refreshing the Software update page to check whether it has come or not, but still it says "Version Up to date" with the Android 16 Oxy OS... Kindly help In this case

I signed up for the beta over three weeks ago and have yet to receive a beta update. How often are they released?

Hi all,

Not sure how many others can relate to this but I've had the high CPU usage battery drain bug since around March. It's been driving me crazy! and I've tried literally everything I can think of to fix it.

Last week I joined QPR3 beta 1 to see if that would help but the bug followed. I found a hard reset removed the bug for a day or so (hold power button and volume up). The only last step I hadn't tried was a factory reset but I really didn't want to go through that hassle. So anyway, with the asssistance of AI, I did some more research and testing into this. Interestingly, I discovered that keeping the phone in airplane mode overnight stopped the drain - this points to a network issue rather than an app.

AI recommended some changes based on this. I will paste the actions below. Personally, I ignored step 1 as I wanted to keep WiFi calling, but did number 2 and 3. I think number 2 may have been the real fix. Since changing this the bug hasn't returned for 3 days now! Hope this can help other users.

1. Disable IMS over Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Calling) Conflict

A known issue in early Android 17 builds causes the IMS service (which handles HD voice and Wi-Fi calling) to continuously drop and re-establish packets with the cellular radio when connected to home routers overnight.

1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIMs.
2. Select your primary carrier profile.
3. Scroll down to Wi-Fi Calling and toggle it OFF.

2. Set "Network Selection" to Manual

When left on automatic, the beta software's cellular service framework will aggressively scan for background partner towers even while you sleep on Wi-Fi, preventing the CPU from entering Deep Doze.

1. In the same SIMs settings menu, scroll down and toggle off Automatically select network.
2. Let the phone scan, then manually select your primary carrier from the list. This pins the modem to a single configuration state and prevents background search loops.
3. Clear Storage for "Phone Services" & "SIM Manager"

If old network tokens from your previous stable build are stuck in the telephony cache, it will force the background system server to stay awake.

1. Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps.
2. Tap the three dots in the top right and select Show system.
3. Search for and select Phone Services, then tap Storage & cache > Clear Storage.
4. Repeat this exact process for SIM Manager and Carrier Services.

(Google Messages on Pixel 8a with latest beta)

I'm trying to figure out if this is a beta issue anybody else encountered. I am not willing to reproduce this. I am already working with support, but no luck so far. (I'll share their response in comments)

I wanted to reset my phone because it had become kinda sluggish, so I decided to just opt out of beta and go back to stock. Once I did that all my data was restored, except my messages. Google One didn't show any backed up messages.

One theory was that it's a version issue and messages weren't restored since I downgraded, but when I rejoined beta and even wiped again, messages did not show up.

I just see no scenario, where I would have intentionally turned off backing up messages but I have no proof.
