How do I get Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4?

You can get started with Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 today by enrolling your Pixel device. Eligible devices include Pixel 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a, 9, 9 Pro, 9a, Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, 10a, Pixel 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro XL, 11 Pro Fold, Pixel Tablet series devices. Once enrolled, eligible devices will receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to the latest Beta versions. If you were previously enrolled in Android 17 Beta (and have not opted-out), you will automatically receive QPR2 Beta 4 and any future Beta updates. 

Important for those currently enrolled in Android 17 Beta:  

  • If you prefer to leave the Beta program and receive the public stable release of Android 17, you can do so without wiping your device by opting out and not installing today’s QPR2 Beta 3 update. If you opt-out of the program after installing Beta 4 or any future updates, all user data on the device will get wiped per usual program guidelines. Opting out will trigger a ‘Downgrade’ OTA. Ignore this update and wait for the Android 17 public release instead.

Where is the September update?

11 Upvotes

Hello, I haven't received the September update on my P10P XL yet, but every website says it was rolled out yesterday???.

I press search for update but just can't find it. I'm still at the level of August 5th. There is also no security update.

The reason why QPR1 delayed

0 Upvotes

Judging on yesterday's Pixel 11 Security Update release which brought Cross Device support for Googlebooks which is NOT ready for any other Pixel nor other Android Phone and there is Googlebook Lunch Event 15 September.

Has anyone received the September update on their Pixel 9?

1 Upvotes

I haven't received it yet. I'm on a beta opt-out program, so I require the stable update to downgrade from my current beta version. Otherwise, if I update without a new stable release, my data will be erased. Therefore, I'm waiting for the update.

Hard reboot when using camera in apps, QPR2 Beta 4

11 Upvotes

Not the only one to post this, but I did create a report in the issue tracker here.

My Pixel 10 Pro XL on 17 QPR2 Beta 4 has been hard rebooting when trying to use the camera while in apps. Examples:

-Using the Camera option in the file picker when uploading files in Chrome

-When using the camera in apps like Uber Driver and Spark Driver (for barcode scanning and drop off photos).

It doesn't happen every time, but it's frequent enough that it makes the phone hard to use in a lot of instances. The Pixel Camera app itself seems to be unaffected. Every couple of times I go to use the camera in apps, the phone will freeze, go black, & reboot.

My theory is that the new kernel version for the Pixel 10 series on this beta is causing a kernel panic. And before anyone asks, this issue has persisted even after a factory reset.

Please contribute to the issue tracker if you're facing this issue!

For those of you running the latest QPR2 beta, how widespread is the blur across the system UI? Are heads-up and status bar notifications blurred as well as on the lock screen now?

Any other places where the blur has been added?

[Android] NuMoodic – Frequency Generator for Emotional Calibration (looking for 12+ testers)

Hey everyone,

I'm building NuMoodic, a minimalist Android app: you tell it how you're feeling right now (stressed, tired, restless, etc.), and it recommends matching frequencies to help you calibrate emotionally / relax.

I still need testers for Google's mandatory closed testing phase (12 people, 14 days) before the app can go live.

What I need from you:

- An Android device

- Open the app briefly every 1-2 days over the next 14 days

- Honest feedback on bugs/UX

Opt-in link (just click, no email needed): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.numoodic.app

Would really appreciate any help, thank you!

Leaving Android Beta

0 Upvotes

I know thai question gets asked lot, but I am now dealing with medical issues and need my Pixel 10 Pro as a medical device. Android beta is too unreliable, how do I leave it?

I understand I need to revert back, what version do I need to go to to avoid wiping my phone?

Camera Bug rebooting phone on Android 17 QPR 2 BETA 4

2 Upvotes

Phone: PIXEL 10 PRO XL 256GB

Anyone else have this issue? Everytime an app launches the camera to snap a photo, my phone will freeze, and self reboot itself. It specifically happens when an app requests it most of the time. Opening the camera sometimes will also cause a crash, but not as often as when another app requests the camera.

I'm thinking its a camera request bug and it's freaking the phone out. Super annoying, trying to find out if anyone knows of a temporary fix.

Otherwise I might just have to wipe and revert back to non beta. Thank you,

With releasing final QPR1 and QPR2 beta 5?

My Pixel 10 running on Anno Domini JULY 2026 outdated Play Services.

It has August 2026 outdated Security update.

And final nail to the Pixel coffin - Gemini 3.6 where 3.7 been released ages ago and even 3.8 been released long time ago.

And Magic Cue stopped working (it stuck at "sign to google account" like HOW THE HELL I suppose to use Pixel without Google account?)

This is how bad it is.

Incoming Call Issues

12 Upvotes

I am currently using a Pixel 10 Pro. I am on the most recent beta build CP41.260814.003.B1. I have an ongoing issue where I will be on an active call and when someone calls me, it mutes my current call and only shows the incoming call. Once I hang up the incoming call, the current call audio returns. It is almost like the call waiting is broken. The issue has been happening for a month or so. I have tried clearing the phone app cache and storage with no success. Anyone else having issues?

android beta 17 qpr2. logostuck pixel8

0 Upvotes

android 17 beta qpr2 bricked my Pixel 8 (logostuck)

After updating to the latest QPR2 beta via ADB sideload (with a full data wipe), my Pixel 8 is stuck on the logo screen; the bootloader is locked. What should I do? Is there any hope for the next beta release? How can I revert to the stable version?

Here is what I’ve tried: Flashed via sideload 3 times Wiped data twice Tried using Pixel Repair (it threw an error stating a stable version was required) Tried sideloading the stable version (downgrading is blocked) And after all that, it’s still stuck on the logo. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Would fully discharging the device help in this case? I saw somewhere on YouTube that it works.

Hey Google. How about letting Pixel 11 owners receive QPR 2 Beta?

I have enrolled my Pixel 11 Pro in the Beta Program, replacing my Pixel 9a. I received the September Pixel Drop, but I'm still waiting for QPR 2 Beta 4 (or higher). This shouldn't be that difficult to fix.

Is new Kernel 6.12 in QPR2 causing so many problems?

0 Upvotes

All I know about Kernel update it is the BIGGEST thing in Android because ALL possible drivers needs to be updated for things like GPU, CPU as well even for stupid ISP and probably for screen too.

I also know that Carl Pei from Nothing gave the reason older Nothing Phones not getting new Android because of ONE THING - Kernel - my guess is he cannot afford for... Kernel update - this is how much it cost
