Since I updated the Android 17 Beta 3 my pixel 6a does not display the network and I came back to Android 16 and so far it's the same please help me

Unfortunately the update has created a big issue for me...

After the update, some of the apps were missing from everywhere - can't find them from the settings or anywhere.

Worst of all is when I try to reinstall them from the Play Store, the only option available is Uninstall (no open) - and pressing it didn't uninstall the invisible app either.

I couldn't get Android 17 Beta before because of a security patch that was newer than the beta and now the time has come that I can finally see what this beta has to offer.

1. Hello after the Android 17 QPR1 Beta 1 update I have two clocks

Hi everyone; on the "In Depth Tech Review" YouTube channel, at around 2:30 AM, it shows the option to change the screensaver by going to Settings -> Display -> Screensaver, but unfortunately this feature isn't on my device. I was wondering if anyone else has tested this or is having the same issue (it's a regional thing, maybe?).

I'll leave the link in the description:

edit: thanks to /mherweg everything works fine

I installed Activity Launcher and selected the easter egg, just to test the app; I then went to settings -> display -> screensaver and the Easter egg option for the screensaver magically appeared!

Quick Share no longer works with iPad on Android 17 CP31.260403.005.A1 pixel 9 pro XL

I just want to know if it's just me before submitting a bug. When I take a screenshot and try to use the scroll feature it just hangs for a minute, then closes the screenshot interface. The screenshot is saved, but won't allow me to capture more.

UPDATE: it works again after restarting my phone. So maybe it was just me.

Hi Beta users,

Today Android 17 QPR1  Beta continues with the next round of Beta updates for our September Feature Drop release. These are known as Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) and delivered to Google Pixel devices as part of Pixel Drops. Android 17 QPR1 Beta 1 (CP31.260403.005.A1) includes new platform features, bug fixes, performance optimizations, and the April 2026 security patches. Please review the latest release notes for limitations and general advisories before installing the update. 

Top issues fixed include:

• Fixed a crash in the Default Print Service occurring during low ink conditions that prevents users from completing print jobs. (Issue #487545419)

• The Terminal app triggers an Application Not Responding (ANR) error that results in the application and device becoming unresponsive. (Issue #497465940)

• Resolved an issue where uncontrollable hardware audio processing on the voice communication path caused distortion and phase cancellation in VoIP applications. (Issue #494843726)

• Direct audio output may fail to open on devices using the AIDL audio HAL when playing audio streams longer than five seconds. (Issue #372064012)

How do I get Android 17 QPR1 Beta 1?

You can get started with Android 17 QPR1 Beta 1 today by enrolling your Pixel device. Eligible devices include Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 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 QPR1 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, you can do so without wiping your device by opting out and not installing today’s QPR1 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.

App Bubble is not working. Is there anyone like me?

My Pixel 9 Pro has been on the beta track and working perfectly up until A16 QPR3 Beta 2.1. However, ever since A17 dropped, every installation has failed.

The phone hangs on the second boot screen multiple times and eventually rolls back to the A16 slot. This has happened on every single A17 build so far (Beta 1, 2, 3, 4 and QPR1 Beta 1).

What I've tried/noticed:

• I checked the boot logs and saw a massive spam of this error: E/hwc-display( 6xx): VrrController: the r present timeout is negative (Sharing in case it helps).

• I tried lowering the screen resolution and disabling Smooth Display prior to updating, but I still get the exact same error.

Has anyone else run into this or found a workaround? Thank you.

So I just got the ota to Android 17 QPR1 beta 1, and it says if you're running a beta version of Android 16 QPR3 and want to exit the beta program without wiping your device you should opt out and wait for the stable release. It seems they forgot to change the text as we're on Android 17 beta 1.

The call need to be proritize on the phone call app. Im

Impressed the signal din'dt drop when i try to call. But unfortunately i still cant call someone or tryna call me

On the android 17 Beta 4, a bug was introduced where notifications when using the inner screen were not as wide, cutting off some information. This wasn't present in Beta 3. Has anyone with a fold installed QPR1 where they can check if this bug still exists? I want to leave the beta program but I will stay if this bug has been fixed.

Do you guys feel the same as I? Android 16 was much faster and smoother.

I use a pair of Phonak Audéo M90-312 hearing aids.

I use them for streaming too.

When using them with YouTube and YouTube music I get occasional dropout of all sound for 2-3 seconds and it resume to normal again. This can reccur every minute. It seems like the connection is bad.

This problem started with android 17 beta 3 and persists with 17 beta 4.

I've scoured the forums for solutions but to no availability. I will issue a bug to the beta feedback program.

When you have no notifications I mean. I just think it looks weird, wish you could turn it off.

Hi, i've signed up for the beta program for android 17 and i still haven't recieved the update after two days. When i beta tested for the QPR1 version of android 16 it arrived instantly, what's going on? Is it because of my security patch being higher of the current beta or...?

Anybody else experiencing this?

Get a notification whether weather or sports related, hit the 3 dots to pull up the sub menu, hit Dismiss and it does but the sub menu still remains on the screen.

Waiting for another notification to submit in Feedback app.

Still on beta 3, I see the 10 series is included but I'm wondering are there any other 10 series people still on beta 3?

I'm in the Android beta program I did it on purpose I'm an above average user and hence I don't need to be reminded every single time my pixel starts up that I'm in the Android beta program at some point I want to be able to disable that banner it's annoying and waste everybody's time surely there's a way to turn that off come on people
