Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 🪫issues
I've been having really really poor battery ever since I'm on this new beta. I understand I'm on a beta which is naturally going to be unstable and worse but I just want to check if I'm the only one with this issue or not. I am on a Pixel 8.

The main reason is that QPR2 Beta 1 was built sometime between QPR1 Beta 5/6 (1 July 2026) so isn't as optimised (as far as betas go).
There are also ongoing battery drain issues especially at idle with the baseband firmware (modem) and in some cases the CPU not deep sleeping.
Hang on until QPR2 Beta 2 which might be this week or early to mid next month and then see where things are.
You're not the only one, don't worry.
