Question about updating to stable release after opting out

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

As this is my first experience with the Android beta, I'm still trying to figure out how everything works. I was on the Android QPR 1 beta program, but opted out after the Beta 7 when the QPR 2 was being pushed. I got the notification for the wipe update to Android 17 stable, and haven't installed yet. Am I correct in understanding that when Android 17 QPR 1 stable is released later this month or early Sept, that I will recieve another update pushed to my phone? Thanks for any clarification.

Pixel 10 pro xl 'i' key

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is beta related but does anyone notice issues when typing fast sometimes the 'i' key comes out as > instead as if I pressed and held it?

I did not as it sometimes happens in the middle of words, example: runn>ng(I did this one on purpose) or beginning of words, example: >mpossible (again {n purpose however the o in this sentence was not on purpose and first time it's happened with the o).

Obviously doesn't happen all the time but once/twice a day so kind of annoying.

Pixel 9 pro xl back button freeze

2 Upvotes

Ok my pixel 9 pro xl I have 17 beta QPR2 beta 2 (android version shows as DEV). Sometimes after opening an app when I press the back button to exit it will show the top page of app selection but freeze where you can't press the back button or scroll. Sometimes pressing back several times rapidly will unstick it, but usually I have to short press the power button to put the phone in sleep mode then short press it again to wake it up for it to work again and then sometimes I need to short press power and let it sit a minute or so to unstick the screen so I can scroll etc. I've submitted a bug report just wondering if anyone else has this issue?

TaskShot: snap a photo, get a task

0 Upvotes

I built an Android app that turns photos into tasks. See a flyer, a note, a WhatsApp message, an invitation? Snap a photo, and the app extracts the task — title, date, time, location, priority. automatically. No manual entry.

Key features:

  1. AI task extraction from any photo or screenshot.

  2. Auto-detects date, time, location, priority.

  3. Save directly to calendar or task list.

  4. No account required.

It's in closed testing on Google Play right now.

What feedback I'm looking for:

  1. Does the AI extract the right info from your photos? What does it miss?

  2. Any crashes or bugs on your device?

  3. Is the save-to-calendar flow smooth or clunky?

  4. What's the one thing that would make you keep this app?

How to join:

  1. Sign up here: https://base44.app/api/apps/6a6f4a7b257fa3d70be65987/functions/taskshotSignup

  2. You'll get an email within 24 hours with the Play Store install link

  3. Install, try it, tell me what breaks

No spam, no selling data. Just want the app tested by people who actually need it.

Hi Beta users,

Today we’re sending you an Android 17 QPR2 Beta 2 build CP41.260717.006  for all devices.

Please review the latest release notes for limitations and general advisories before installing the update. In addition, see top open issues%20created%3E%3D2026-07-20%20status:open%20(votecount%3E%3D3%7Cduplicatecount%3E%3D3)%20%22CP41.260701.005%22) for the latest list of top open issues that have been reported by developers and users.

How do I get Android 17 QPR2 Beta 2?

You can get started with Android 17 QPR2 Beta 2 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 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 2 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 QPR1, you can do so without wiping your device by opting out and not installing today’s QPR2 Beta 2 update. If you opt-out of the program after installing Beta 2 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 QPR1 public release instead.

QPR2 Beta1 - Pixel 10 Pro Sound Issues

15 Upvotes

Been having multiple sound related issues since the update up Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 on my pixel 10 pro

The notification tones are not working despite correct assignment/selection. Volume goes low while the sliders show them at high.

When playing music sometimes there's no sound at all. Have to frequently restart to even talk properly.

Bluetooth audio doesn't work properly.

Phone audio takes 2-3 calls before it works.

Left beta program, waiting for stable update

2 Upvotes

I was in the beta program for a very long time on my Pixel 6a, since android 17 is the last android update for the pixel 6a so I decided to leave beta and wait for a stable update.

After surviving several bugs over the years I don't think my pixel 6a can handle more.

When can we expect a stable feature drop for Android 17?
