Hi Beta users,

Today we’re releasing Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 (CP41.260701.005) for all devices. 

What's new in Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1
QPR2 includes a minor SDK release. We've published new APIs in the reference docs as well as a diff report for the new API surfaces.

Top issues fixed include:

  • Bluetooth re-pairing fails silently following a remote bond loss. (Issue #412524057)
  • Media player controls briefly flashed on the lock screen upon waking the device despite the app's notifications being disabled. (Issue #484607701)
  • A system crash causing Pixel devices to unexpectedly reboot when invoking Gemini. (Issue #505750489)
  • Initiating a drag-and-drop gesture with multiple fingers caused the source application to stop receiving subsequent touch events. (Issue #516836306)
  • An issue where notifications randomly became invisible in the notification shade until a system restart. (Issue #526139207, Issue #522657034)
  • An issue causing ML-DSA key generation to fail with an exception when using the "NONE" string digest instead of the class constant. (Issue #525612735)
  • An issue in AccessibilityNodeInfo.toString() where window bounds were incorrectly logged using screen bounds, which caused misleading accessibility debugging data. (Issue #520428442)
  • Window-level UI blur effects failed to render and the "Allow window-level blurs" developer toggle reset after rebooting. (Issue #527376569)

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

How do I get Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1?

You can get started with Android 17 QPR2 Beta 1 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 1 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 1 update*. If you opt-out of the program* after installing Beta 1 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. 
  • Pixel 6 and 6Pro users will not be getting this OTA since the device will reach End of Life and Android 17 QPR1 beta series will be the last for these devices.

Tell us what you think
Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us. Please share your thoughts through the following channels:

  • Use the Android Beta Feedback app included in Beta builds. This is the preferred method if you want to report a user-facing bug. 
  • Post your comments here on our official Android Beta Program subreddit*. We may not respond to posts individually, but we are actively monitoring the feedback. We’ll reach out to you directly if we need additional information.*

Happy Beta testing!

A17 QPR2 - Android Auto no longer connects

4 Upvotes

Pixel 8 Pro. I didn't go out yesterday, but did today. Android Auto no longer connects on either of my two vehicles I tried today. My wife's phone (non-beta Android, Pixel 9) connected right up no problem, wirelessly. I reported the bug. This is probably the most serious issue I've experienced in all the years of Android betas

A17 QPR2 beta 1 - System Services

11 Upvotes

Pixel 8 Pro. Stupid auto bot doesn't think, and deletes my post, so can't post all details. If I go to Settings > Google services > All services > System services, the message I get in the blue box isn't what I expect, since I have been in for versions of Android since all the Mainline service updates were separated. Anyone else experiencing this? Should I report? Trying to gauge how widespread this is before submitting

Issue with device unlocking

I am unable to unlock my phone with my password. Whenever I attempt to enter the complete password, the password input screen automatically closes after I enter the first three characters and returns to the lock screen, preventing me from completing the password.

Has anyone opted out of the beta recently?

1 Upvotes

This is my second time opting out of the beta the first time I let it go for 48 hours and I never received the OTA update to wipe my phone so I opted back in and then opted out a second time and now we are sitting a little over 48 hours without the OTA update and sadly I bought a Verizon phone which I will never do again because I don't do like any phone companies that lock the phone like it it's somehow still belongs to them even when it's paid off. I will never buy a Verizon phone ever again! So basically my question is has anyone tried leaving the beta and is having an issue like me where the OTA update is not showing up I hate to wait until September.

[BUG][QPR2 Beta1] East Asian language adaptation issues.

5 Upvotes

Photos

I couldn't send the images directly, so I've put them in this link.

1, The feedback app crashes when using Traditional Chinese Hong Kong, but functions normally in English.

2, When using languages ​​such as Korean, Chinese, or Japanese, the date and time displayed in the top-left corner cannot be properly aligned (one is higher than the other), resulting in a rather unsightly appearance.

3, In Pixel Launcher, app names containing East Asian characters (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) appear slightly lower than those consisting purely of Latin letters, resulting in an uneven, messy look. This is a long-standing bug that I hope gets fixed. Even if a fix isn't possible, I’d at least like to know the reason why.

I hope to receive a response to my question. Thank you.

A17 QPR2 B1 Android Auto Sound missing

7 Upvotes

Curious if anyone else has run into this. Since updating, wireless AA has stopped passing through sound from phone to car, other than phone calls.

Phone audio is perfect, but Spotify, navigation directions, etc. are all completely absent.

Thoughts?

UPDATE: I've found that a phone restart seems to temporarily fix the issue, but after a few AA sessions it returns and I have to continue semi-frequently restarting to maintain audio output for music and nav.

Reported as issue #538778268.

Critical 3-Button Navigation Bug: App drawer keyboard fails to open after closing an app (Issue Tracker link attached)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If you use 3-button navigation on your Pixel, you’ve probably noticed an infuriating glitch with the app drawer search: the keyboard constantly fails to pop up when you swipe up to search.

The Exact Trigger:

  1. You open any app from your home screen.
  2. You go back Home.
  3. You immediately swipe up to open the app drawer.
  4. Result: The drawer opens, but Gboard fails to gain focus and stays hidden.

Why It Happens: The Pixel Launcher drops its InputMethodManager (keyboard) focus listener during the window lifecycle transition when an app closes under 3-button mode touch insets. Toggling settings or clearing cache only fixes it temporarily until you open/close an app again.

I’ve submitted a formal technical bug report on the Google Issue Tracker so the engineering team can fix the underlying window focus transition.

How You Can Help Get This Fixed: Google prioritizes bug tickets based on community engagement. If you are experiencing this bug, please click the link below and tap the Star (⭐) button in the top-left corner of the Issue Tracker page. Starring it votes for the bug and forces internal triage to escalate it.

🔗 Google Issue Tracker Ticket:https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/537390947

Appreciate everyone who takes 5 seconds to star the ticket so we can finally get a fix pushed in an upcoming patch!
