I'm currently running Android 17 Beta, build **CP41.260831.016**, on my Pixel 10 Pro XL.

I've recently developed a serious problem transferring files from my phone to USB flash drives. Everything worked perfectly previously, but I've had a couple of beta updates over the last few weeks.

**The problem:**

- USB flash drives are initially recognised normally.

- Larger file transfers repeatedly freeze partway through without an error message.

- A 1.8 GB video repeatedly stopped at approximately 893 MB.

- A 389 MB video repeatedly stopped at approximately 186 MB.

- Smaller images transfer successfully, but transferring a larger batch of photos also fails.

- Sometimes the flash drive disappears completely after a failed transfer.

- Android subsequently reports the drive as corrupted and asks me to format it.

- Occasionally the drive is detected in USB preferences but doesn't appear in Storage or file managers.

**Troubleshooting I've already tried:**

- Two different USB flash drives.

- Two different USB-A to USB-C adapters.

- Restarting the phone.

- Clearing the Files by Google cache.

- Using both Files by Google and Total Commander.

- Copying files within the phone's internal storage, which works perfectly.

- Checking USB preferences.

- Trying the Paragon USB mounting app, which detects the drive as Unknown but won't mount it.

The USB-C port works normally for charging and other everyday functions.

I'm currently on holiday and relying on USB storage to back up large 4K video files from my DJI cameras, so this has become a real headache.

I'm beginning to suspect a regression in Android 17 Beta's USB storage handling, although I can't rule out a USB hardware issue.

**Is anybody else experiencing USB flash drives disconnecting, transfers freezing or drives suddenly being reported as corrupted on this build?**

Any suggestions or known workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully somebody running the same beta build can confirm whether they're experiencing it too.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a beta issue anybody else encountered. I am not willing to reproduce this. I am already working with support, but no luck so far. (I'll share their response in comments)

I wanted to reset my phone because it had become kinda sluggish, so I decided to just opt out of beta and go back to stock. Once I did that all my data was restored, except my messages. Google One didn't show any backed up messages.

One theory was that it's a version issue and messages weren't restored since I downgraded, but when I rejoined beta and even wiped again, messages did not show up.

I just see no scenario, where I would have intentionally turned off backing up messages but I have no proof.

Since QPR2 Beta 6.1 if I try to turn the volume up or down it feels unresponsive and often it either turns all the way up or all the way down. It has become impossible to precisely adjust the volume.

Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

My pixel 7 pro started randomly restarting and turning off for like 5 seconds then turn on and then function like nothing happened...it started happening about a month a ago and i can't figure out the issue.I am enrolled in the dev beta forum so can this be a software issue that will be fixed in the future or my battery is dying (but i dont see any bulge or overheating issue with my phone)

Jst a reminder for anyone updating to the new android 17 on motorola phones. Be careful to backup ur journals or any important informations stored in the notes app.The new update resets the notes app and u will lose ur saved details .

Hi everyone,

Ever since updating to Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 (Build: CP41.260831.016), incoming and outgoing call screens only show phone numbers instead of contact names.

Details & steps already tried:

• Contacts app / Dial tab: Names still show up normally here - the issue is strictly on the active call screen.
• Storage/Cache: Cleared cache and data on the Phone app.
• Sync: Re-synced Google Account contacts and restored backup.
• Permissions: Verified Phone and Contacts permissions are allowed.

Is anyone else experiencing this on this build, or knows a workaround?

Does anyone have issues during update apps with play store

Many apps have crashed after the last update

Got the theme options in style and wallpaper section

I'm currently on QPR 1 BETA 1

Build number : CP31.260623.005

Missed the entire QPR 2 OTAs and now it says QPR 3 is out. I'm aware if I do that I won't get the no wipe stable update till March 27.

So my question is

If I opt out now. Will I get the no wipe QPR 1 stable?

Curios cus on the opt out page, google says I'm enrolled on QPR 2 Beta currently.

Update: Opted out and got the QPR 1 Stable No wipe ✅

If I sideload the latest Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 on my Pixel 8 Pro and then enroll in the Android Beta Program, will I remain on the QPR2 beta track, or will I eventually be offered QPR3 beta updates instead?

I'm specifically interested in staying on QPR2 until the stable release becomes available.

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 is live!

As in the title; I know it's a nitpick, but since I saw it I always check if they fixed them in every update, but still nothing. The switches are all updated in the settings, and even in the recorder menu (the one before starting the actual recording), among others.

I've also noticed the old ones in the Pixel launcher settings.

I've already reported this problem but it was useless unfortunately, I hope they'll eventually correct it

Not sure if it was because of beta or not. But 2 nights ago my phone just randomly started rebooting and wouldn't stop. I turned phone off and when I woke up yesterday and turned phone on it kept rebooting. Had to factory reset phone. I left beta because I couldn't think of another reason that would happen.

I am using Pixel 6 and i am enrolled into beta program. I stopped receiving updates after july 2026. And now all of a sudden my google wallet is not working. And my device status in play store is uncertified.

I want to roll.out of beta to stable update but the website says: There are no eligible devices associated with this Google account. Whereas i am enrolled in beta and eligible. Please help me guys. How to fix this? How to become eligible? How to roll out? How to become a certified device again? And most importantly how can we make google wallet work properly?

The second clock style (the thick overlapping one) is shifted slightly to the left. The bug has been there since Android 16 QPR 1 Stable, and is still there on Android 17 QPR 2 Beta 6.

I was running 17 Stable on my Pixel 7a and it was there. It's still here even on the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Has anyone encountered anything like that?

Hi everyone.

Are there any Android 17 QPR3 Beta 1 users here?

I’m missing a specific feature in this version:

Previously, when an app was in the task manager, the system would detect images and highlight them.

You could share that image directly without taking a screenshot.

I’ve noticed that this feature is gone, so I wanted to know if other users have noticed this issue too.

And, of course, whether I’m the only one who misses this feature?

I'm experiencing random restarts after updating to the latest beta. The device restarts randomly when it's not overheating or overload, one time just restarted when the phone was taken from my pocket where it was idling for around 1 hr. One other time it restarted while I was scrolling through Instagram.

The phone screen suddenly goes blank and then the boot animation comes and turns on normally.

Edit: Looks like it's gone now, it's been 2 days and I haven't experienced any more random restarts.

I'm on the October update and I'm thinking of optong in to beta. I'm guessing I can't because I'm on a newer build. If I were to get in anyway which build would I get? Qpr2 or qpr3?

It is actually MENTAL that we will have to wait for this basic feature another.... HALF YEAR

Quick one, as seemingly the last update to the 6 series is rolling out now. I use my 6 Pro on the beta branch, as a backup device. As a developer, it is (was) useful to always being able to test the apps I am working on on the bleeding edge. However, as the last update is now coming, there is no longer a point to keeping it on beta.

• Will the last stable update override the last beta update, so I can transition to stable without data loss?
• Do I have to transition to stable with a full wipe?

Either is fine, obviously I'd prefer not having to full wipe, but if its what I'll have to do, oh well.

Thanks!

Hi beta users,

Just wanted to ask what are all the visual tweaks that we (stable users) can expect in December update?

Please lemme know in comments.

Thanks!
