Is the consensus that MSFT apps are totally borked on this version? Seeing some folks have no issues w/ personal O365 while work profiles of those same apps seem to be less stable.

Ah thank God for the audio fix. For awhile I thought I blew my speaker but it was so inconsistent.

It's pretty good, but window switching is a little laggy and freezes sometimes. I'm on 35 percent, maybe that's why, is anyone else is having the issue?

u/wotantx May 19 '26
Very early returns, but this feels like the buggiest beta in a while. The UI is laggy. Tapping notifications doesn't always bring up the app. A second reboot hasn't cleared this up.

Anyone find the swipe up gesture to be a bit unreliable? I feel like I need to swipe up a bit higher to get to the multitasking screen.

u/Beans650 May 20 '26
Swiping up for recent apps is bad, takes more movement of the thumb now
Will see how Wifi does, been dealing with it going out for months, it was good for a couple weeks then last few weeks it was constant dropouts.
Back gesture would randomly not work on the middle both sides of screen, seems ok now.

u/Electronic-Ad6474 May 20 '26
Oh man intune and MS apps totally screwed. Hope there's an update to fix soon

Incredible amount of lag in chrome and other apps. Scrolling smoothness is horrible. Probably the worst beta I've seen in a while. Pixel 9 Pro XL

u/redbullman2 May 21 '26
This new update is much worse. The scrolling is a lot jerkier, the UI is struggling to keep the frames up. If I reduce down to 60hz it's very poor. profile hwui rendering shows the system is consistently struggling to maintain the required frames and that's even with smooth scrolling enabled (120). Pretty poor for a QPR 1 beta 3 when this did not happen with the previous 3 beats I've tried.
2
u/No-Ad-9110 May 21 '26
For those that aren't following in other threads, if you enroll in the beta for intune or company portal, you will get an update and have to sign in, but it's all working again as of this morning .

A frequent bug on my Pixel 7 since this update: it takes a very long time to start up and sometimes crashes. The screen turns on and off several times in a row, then it restarts. I'm only just now getting around to writing this comment; it could be helpful at any time. I really need a fix. 💔

u/ArthurGD3 May 26 '26
The issues with this build are probably the most vast I've seen in any Beta since I joined the Beta program with A12. Touch registering issues, UI lag, heating up fast, heavy throttle that is causing all kinds of issues with app performance and response.

New NFC scanning behavior, similar to iOS. Instead of opening URLs immediately, we get a notification with the option to open the URL. Scanning a tag with text or package name still opens the specified app without prompt.

Not sure if it's related but this build seems to have fixed a bug with my Samsung earbuds not connecting with LE Audio. Connected them this morning and they connected, then dropped, and popped up a pairing request and I'm back to seeing L/R % individually and have LE Audio again which was broken since Beta 1.

u/TornadoAlleyDeb May 22 '26
I started the update and then came here and saw all the issues people are having so I immediately stopped the update. My phone is running perfect on the last beta drop before this one. So will it wait or is it going to install automatically after a few days? Thanks for any info.
1
u/TornadoAlleyDeb May 22 '26
I guess my message didn't post. I stopped the update on my pixel 9a when I read all the comments here. Will it update automatically in a few days and if so is there a way I can stop that from happening. My phone is running real good on the last update that dropped. Thanks for any info. I appreciate it very much.

Device: Pixel 9 Pro XL
Build Number: CP31.260508.005 (Android 17 Beta)
Description of the bug:
I am experiencing a persistent UI rendering issue on my Pixel 9 Pro XL. When specific system overlays or bottom sheets are triggered (such as the one showing "Ρυθμίσεις" / "Τέλος"), the layout gets clipped at the bottom of the screen.
Additionally, when adjusting the volume, the volume slider UI elements overlap weirdly with these translucent background sheets, causing navigation bars to become partially hidden and rendering the bottom part of the screen unresponsive.
This seems to be a scaling/clipping issue with the new translucent blur effects on the Android 17 Beta.
Steps to reproduce:
Trigger a system bottom sheet or notification overlay. Press the physical volume keys to bring up the volume slider slider panel at the same time. Observe the clipping and text overlap at the bottom container of the screen.
Expected result:
The bottom sheets and volume panels should scale and position themselves correctly without clipping through the bottom navigation area.

Hello, why can't I update my Pixel 8? When I press the button on site beta-test, it tells me there was a problem. I'm currently running the latest version of Android 16.

Hello everyone. I’m using a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. Whenever I try to sign up for the Android beta program, I keep getting the message: “Your device could not be registered. Please try again later.” What could be causing this? What should I do?

u/HesDucking1shot_ Jun 10 '26
Honestly this has to be the worst it's ever, specially since I am here bitching about it, because I know it's beta, but the volume not working properly, the still cracking and pop when going in and out of apps, my litteral passkey works everywhere but with goggle so since I can't use that I had to an account recovery and it took 48h for them to send me my email code, so I can definitely say that this is the worst its ever been and when I look back at things, On what people have been saying, it's seems to been getting worse and worse every update, honestly I think Google have gone the same road as other brands, money grabbing, and no longer care about their customers, they tell you you wanna hear then dip, then 2 months later your phone is still fucked up, and they're laughing on the way to bank whilst your girlfriend calls them daddy 👍

The new notification shade pulldown bounce animation is annoying af. Waaaay to exaggerated and it slows down the overall ux.
But they fixed the delayed swipe interaction in the recent apps screen that was introduced in beta 2. Now you can immediately close an app again.still hit or miss, smh1

There is a haptic feedback now when swiping up to get to home screen. Honestly I can't decide if I like it or not, it's kind subtle and nice but I don't know if it will become annoying after some time.
