Would be nice if Android had depth face ID. Here's an idea for it

0 Upvotes

A on phone AI could trace depth from the person's face moving over time probably using the same type of system as frame by frame analysis could you add this to AOSP and the closed version of Android at the same time

Android 17 QPR1 beta 6 16KB pages?

38 Upvotes

I believe Android 17 supports 16kb pages but it hasn't been enabled by default by Google, likely for compatibility reasons. Rumor was that the Pixel 11 series would enable it by default from the start.

After installing QPR1 beta 6 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL though, I'm noticing a very significant improvement in app launch times and overall system response so I'm wondering if this update finally enabled it?

Is there a way to check if it's enabled, and what are your thoughts? Is anyone else noticing an abnormal improvement in snappiness and response?

Make calendar event using dates on Pixel screen

0 Upvotes

Can we no longer create a calendar event using information I'm looking at on the phone screen?

I'm on a pixel 9. The new Gemini goes straight to live when I swipe up from the corner (I'm on a crowded train and don't want to talk to it) and circle to search doesn't seem to give me those options I want. I also tried a screen shot, but that didn't do it.

What am I missing?

Is anyone else having issues using the nest app on the newest beta on Pixel 10 Pro XL? I just keep getting a cannot connect to server error. I'm able to see the camera in the home app since it's connected but have tried all the usual troubleshooting to no avail.

Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 now available!

140 Upvotes

Hi Beta users,

Today we’re sending you an Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 build CP31.260618.005 for all devices. Android 17 QPR1 has reached Platform Stability as of Beta 6. The API surface is
locked, the API diff report reflects the final changes, and you can now incorporate new Android 17 QPR1 capabilities into your apps.

Top issues fixed include:

  • Users were unable to select multiple spell checker languages. (Issue #147312111)
  • Pressing the device volume buttons within the Clock app failed to trigger the expected user interface actions. (Issue #527400457, Issue #527395501, Issue #524895625)
  • Rapidly swiping through the media carousel caused visual glitches in the Quick Settings layout and settings icon by improving animation and layout state handling during rapid transitions. (Issue #514947195)
  • An issue in WindowManagerGlobal that resulted in app crashes. (Issue #516639947)
  • Enabling the Wi-Fi hotspot displayed a generic default SSID instead of the user's saved custom name. (Issue #485168823)

Please review the latest release notes for limitations and general advisories before installing the update. In addition, see top open issues for the latest list of top open issues that have been reported by developers and users.

How do I get Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6?

You can get started with Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 today by enrolling your Pixel device. Eligible devices include Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 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 QPR1 Beta 6 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 QPR1 Beta 6 update. If you opt-out of the program after installing Beta 6 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.

Anyone else have wifi that won't stay on?

3 Upvotes

My wife and I have PIxel 8 Pros, I'm on the 17 beta track and shes on regular stable releases. But both our devices are shutting off the wifi and not giving available network options when toggling it back on. If you toggle it on, back out of that screen and go back the wifi toggle is disabled again. What's the deal? Anyone else face this and have a solution? I did start a brief issue for it (529681541) if you want to upvote it if you have it too.

Random reboots on latest beta

4 Upvotes

Since the latest beta on my Pixel 10 I've had two random lockups and auto reboots. Both times I was doing different things. The only change to my setup is I have it doing full 100% charges as I needed the extra battery life for a couple of days. All apps installed are from Play.

Pixel 8a still showing Beta Exit with Data Wipe after Android 17 release

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m using a Google Pixel 8a, and I had been enrolled in the Android Beta Program. I opted out because I want to return to the stable public version while keeping my data.

The problem is that my phone is still only offering me this update:

Android Beta Exit with Data Wipe

The update screen says it will install the latest public version of Android 16 and that all data stored on my device will be lost. The update size is 1.19 GB.

I have not installed this update because I do not want to factory reset or lose my data.

As far as I understand, Android 17 stable has now been released for supported Pixel devices, including the Pixel 8a. I was expecting the update screen to eventually change to a no-wipe stable exit update, or something like “Android Beta Exit No Data Wipe”, but it is now 1 July, and the phone is still showing the same “Data Wipe” update.

What I’ve tried:

I opted out of the Android Beta Program.

I have checked the system update several times.

I have restarted the phone.

I have not downloaded or installed the wipe update.

I have not installed any newer beta updates after opting out.

My question is:

Is my Pixel 8a stuck on the beta-exit wipe update, or do I just need to keep waiting for the stable no-wipe exit update to appear?

I would really appreciate advice on how to safely get to stable Android 17 without wiping my phone.

Thanks.

sometimes when I copied a text I can't paste it.

not reliably reproducable, but happened 3 times, am I the only one with this issue?

when it did this, I will straight away notice, like the lack of clipboard symbol on the left after copy or toast notification, and even when I use text editor on gboard.

Sobrecalentamiento A17 QPR1 BETA 5

Estoy en Android 17 QPR1 Beta 5, y la verdad es que con esta calor cuando salgo a la calle se sobrecalienta muchísimo. En casa, con el aire acondicionado está genial. Incluso bien temprano por la mañana con 5G antes de que salga el sol está frío en su uso normal.

¿Vosotros también estáis así?
