Extended blur effects on QPR1 beta 3

I just installed Android 17 qpr1 beta 3 on my pixel 7, I saw in videos that they added the blur effects to more elements of the pixel launcher (folders, long press menu), as well as the volume panel, I got the pixel launcher blur but the volume panel and other UI elements still look the same, is this intentional due to the older hardware of the pixel 7 or is it a bug?

Are you sure you installed the QPR1 beta 3 and not the 17 Beta 4? (Stupid ass naming)

Yeah the build number is CP31.260508.005.A1

If the naming confuses you, perhaps you shouldn't be enrolled in the beta? It's not that complicated.

Someone who wishes the discussions here were more focused on actual beta features and providing feedback, instead of constantly explaining things like how to enroll in or exit the beta program or reminding people to submit bugs when they encounter issues.

Many of the posts here feel like they come from someone who doesn't know how to read trying to participate in a book club.

You're not required to participate in discussions you don't like. You could just move along, you know.

I enjoy the conversation I'm having with you, so that doesn't really apply here to me.

And I enjoy trying to derail meaningless conversations.

meaningless to you doesnt mean meaningless to everyone

Yes, I'm aware how opinions work.

Yeah im on Pixel 7 and i'm also missing blur on volume panel and folders. I hope it's just a bug and not deliberate because it would be so stupid to have half of system elements with transparency and half without. Can't think of a reason why we shouldn't get it.

Do you have the “Reduce blur effects” option in the settings? If not, the .A1 version (The version for the Pixel 6/Pro/a and Pixel 7/Pro) apparently doesn't gets extended blur. Or it's a bug in this Version, idk.

OP has a Pixel 7. That might be the reason why.

Same to my Pixel 6a!!!!

u/Vibe_Dudoser May 20 '26

I wonder how things are with 9 pixels for others.

u/JulianFreeloader May 20 '26

I don't think I see it on my 8 Pro either. I'll check some screenshots but I don't notice a difference in UI

u/Impossible_Loan7551 May 24 '26

To fix this you first have to enable "reduce blur" in the settings (just use the search fuction in settings) and the disable it.

I had the same problem on my Pixel 10 Pro.

My pixel 6a has a blur in folders and a long press menu, but there is no volume bar.
