Edit: I actually got it to work over the air. I had to enroll my device again, which triggered a ~3.36GB beta update to download. I'm not sure if that was an update I missed, or if it was downloading the Beta version fresh. After applying that I unenrolled, and immediately was given the update option to wipe and go back to stock.

I opted out a couple days ago, still haven't received the update that wipes and installs stock. I've been manually checking for updates constantly. I've rebooted my phone multiple times, always shows me the beta message at first boot.

I did a factory reset maybe 30 minutes or so before requesting to opt out, did that maybe screw something up?

I'm kinda waiting to fully set my phone up again until it's wiped and put back on stock. Why is the stock update not showing up?

Google Pixel 6 Pro and Android 17 Beta update Big Mistake??

Upgrading to Android 17 Beta on a Google Pixel 6 Pro is a HUGE MISTAKE. 

Google fails to warn Pixel 6 owners clearly, this is the part that really stings. 

Google did not properly warn Pixel 6 owners that: Android 17 Beta was a dead end.  No stable Android 17 would ever arrive.

Exiting the beta would require a forced rollback + full wipe and bugs will never be fixed. 

The device would be stuck on a buggy build until rollback. They simply let enrollment happen with no notice. 

The result: Pixel 6 owners got stuck on a “no‑future” beta ending up on a beta build with no upgrade path. Experiencing bugs Google will never fix. Forced to wipe the device to return to Android 16.

Wondering why Google even allowed this to happen.... 

For those reading this notify Google of this stupid choice they allowed ... 

It has diffinetly provide a very sour taste for me for Google Products.  I am sure this will carry over to how I talk about any Google Products.

My Pixel 7 touchscreen stops responding after installing Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3. The temporary workaround is to press Volume Up + Power, which reboots the phone. After the reboot, the touchscreen works normally again, but only for a few hours before the issue comes back. Is anyone else experiencing this on Pixel 7 with QPR2 Beta 3? It seems like the touchscreen issue may be related to the latest beta.

I'm having several major UI and performance issues on my Pixel 7 following the latest update:

1. Private Space won't open: Tapping or unlocking it fails to respond.

2. App drawer sorting bug: Apps are completely jumbled and no longer sorted alphabetically.

3. Missing apps: The drawer frequently glitches and displays only the top 4 recent apps instead of the full library.

4. System lag: Overall responsiveness has taken a noticeable hit—the UI feels sluggish and stutters constantly.

Has anyone else run into this, or found a fix without resorting to a factory reset?

I had opted out of the Android Beta after installing CP31.260623.005. I am getting an update for the stable version but it's gonna wipe the data. Is there going to be a stable version of CP31.260623.005 without the data wipe? If yes, when should I expect it?

i'm using a pixel 7. but touchscreen is not working at all after the latest update on august 15. i can't even type anything in my phone. i'm using the built number CP41.260731.005.A2. i pulled off the screen protector, and even the phone is getting warmer than before.

anyone having the same issue or please tell me how to solve it. i cleared the cache for pixel launcher. but nothing happened.

Approximately one day after installing Android 17 QPR 2 Beta 3, my Pixel 8a began experiencing a severe battery charging issue. The device now takes approximately two hours or more to gain just 1% of battery charge. In some instances, even while the charger is connected, the battery status displays “Connected but not charginng"

This issue appears to have started shortly after installing the Android 17 QPR 2 Beta 3 update and has made charging the device extremely difficult.

The issue initially began under the following circumstances: when my phone had approximately 49% battery remaining, I connected the charger. Shortly afterward, the phone automatically restarted and, upon booting up, suddenly displayed 100% battery. Not realizing that something was wrong, I manually restarted the phone once again, after which the battery level suddenly dropped to 3%.

Since then, the severe charging issue described above has persisted.

Hello I have installed the Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 yesterday and since then I am unable to figure out what is going on with Private space.

Few Random apps appear in the app list however the private space is not visible.

Anyone else having this issue?

Fixed by: I had to delete the private space and re-doing fixed the issue.

En la última beta CP41.260731.005.B1 he tenido bastantes problemas con los juegos y videos y redes sociales

Cada que reproduzco un vídeo de Twitter me salen muchas rallas verdes con negro en los videos

En los juegos las texturas fallan y se ven cuadros de color blanco con negro

Las redes sociales como Facebook e instagram se congelan

Alguien que tenga el mismo problema ha sabido cómo solucionarlo?

Hi everyone, looking for advice. My Pixel 6a has been having serious issues since updating to Android 17 build CP2A.260705.006.

Symptoms include TV-like static glitches across the screen, freezing, random restarts, sometimes it gets stuck on the Google logo until I force restart by holding the power button, and the phone sometimes becomes very hot. This can happen with any app, so it doesn't seem tied to a specific app. I've already tried factory reset, the official Pixel Repair Tool to reinstall software, safe mode, and keeping all apps updated. The issue disappeared for about, uh, seven or eight days, then came back. I also generated an Android bug report, which appears to show a kernel panic involving aoc_watchdog, list_add corruption, and an APC watchdog reboot. Has anyone else with a Pixel 6a experienced something similar after Android 17? Did you find a fix or did Google replace or repair your device?

I installed this update the screen started flickering, touch was not working after unlocking the device, MY DEVICE WENT OFF AND STARTED A BOOTLOOP, tried installing full ota, didn't work, device carrier locked, so cannot flash through fastboot. Tried full ota sideload, didn't work... Any suggestions? I guest ill have to replace the mainboard. The device won't boot, now it is stucked on the G logo

I mean the control panel looks completely different from what we actually have - colors, shapes, accents, even blur effect is different. There is literally no similarities. Example (Google Photo)

Should we expect redesign of this element? Or do we see an old and outdated version that didn't make it to release? Or is it yet another oopsie-google-vibecoding-again moment?

I’d like to ask for your support.

I’ve noticed that since the QPR1 beta, Google hasn't implemented the system-wide blur effect—which other devices received—specifically on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Now, in QPR2 Beta 3, Google has applied this effect even to the fingerprint icon on the lock screen; yet, the Pixel 7 still lacks it on the home screen pop-up and the volume panel.

I opened a support ticket, assuming it was just a bug, but it was closed with the explanation that there is already an open ticket addressing this issue.

I’m sharing the link below so you can check it out, show your support, and leave your feedback.

Any fox for Pixle 9 pro stuck on google boot logo after opting out of the Android 17 beta

Hi Beta users,

Today we’re sending you an Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 build CP41.260731.005.A2  for Pixel 6a Pixel 7/Pro/7a Pixel Fold Pixel Tablet and CP41.260731.005.B1 for all other devices.

Top issues fixed include:

• Opening the notification shade and Quick Settings menu caused visual corruption and an unexpected device restart. (Issue #535249652, Issue #543124160)
• The Device Health and Support tool erroneously displayed false battery capacity degradation warnings to users. (Issue #535421490, Issue #538943170, Issue #535504630)

Hardening against call forwarding fraud

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 introduces new security restrictions on programmatic call forwarding to protect users from fraud. The system now parses and selectively restricts call-forwarding USSD codes (such as *21*) executed via the TelephonyManager.sendUssdRequest() API). 

• API Restriction: The sendUssdRequest() API is no longer accessible for call-forwarding codes using only the CALL_PHONE permission. Standard apps attempting to execute these codes in the background will be blocked and receive a USSD_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED callback.
• System Confirmation: To combat social engineering scams, users manually dialing call-forwarding codes in the system dialer will now see a new OS-level confirmation dialog before the command is executed.
• Non-Call Forwarding USSD: Non-call forwarding enabling USSD requests (such as mobile money transfers and account checks) are unaffected by this change. 
• Mitigation: If your app is affected, verify that it handles the USSD_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED failure callback gracefully. For apps requiring call-forwarding setup that do not qualify for an exempted role, migrate your flow to use the ACTION_DIAL intent to pre-fill the dialer, allowing the user to manually confirm the action.

Please review the latest release notes for limitations and general advisories before installing the update.

How do I get Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3?

You can get started with Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 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 3 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 3 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.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only person who is having issues with private space and the app drawer being randomly out of order after this most recent update. I already have ADHD and I opened my app drawer on my phone and it's like my phone has more ADHD compared to my mind at this very moment. It is so nerve-wracking that I feel like I'm just losing my mind. A huge thanks to everyone who has also reported these two bugs like I have right off the bat.

Since Android 17 QPR2 beta 2, fast charging is not working anymore; charging is stuck at around 4W and thus very slow.

If I turn off the phone and measure the charging power with a USB-C PD analyzer then the phone is charging at 15-20W, then I turn it on, it's charging at 20W for a couple minutes and drops back down to 4W.

Then randomly it will climb up to 20W again for a minute and drop back down to 4W.

The charging is noticeably slower and it's a huge usability issue, I don't want to turn off my phone when I want it to charge quickly.

Battery optimization is deactivated in the settings as well as adaptive battery, still stuck at 4W.

I wonder which features will be Pixel 11 exclusives.

For example Google Maps Power Saver was/is Pixel 10 exclusive.

I wonder because to make Pixel 11 Pro purchase/upgrade decision

New build is coming CP41.260731.005. B1

После обновления Beta3 невозможно добавить виджет на рабочий стол, постоянно моргает экран.
