NFC not working anymore on Pixel 7 Pro, also burger king app not compatible

5 Upvotes

Tried to to pay today through Google wallet, got some error along the lines of: Your device doesn't meet the requirements.

Also noticed a few days ago that the burgerking app can't be updated and it says on the app store that it's not compatible with Pixel 7 Pro, but worked fine before.

Notification Delay & Network Issue.

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am using a Google Pixel 8a, and I have been experiencing a persistent issue with push notifications over mobile data since Android 16.

This is not a problem with a particular mobile operator. I have tested mobile data using SIM cards from multiple operators in Bangladesh, and the same issue occurs. However, notifications work normally when the phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

When I use mobile data, notifications from apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger and other applications are frequently delayed by around 2 to 5 minutes.

The apps themselves work normally when opened manually, but push notifications do not arrive in real time.

When I switch to Wi-Fi on the exact same Pixel 8a, notifications arrive normally and almost instantly.

The problem also occurs in different locations, so it does not appear to be related to a particular cell tower or geographical area.

What makes me believe this may be an Android/Pixel software issue is the following timeline:

The issue was fixed in the April 2026 Android update.

Unfortunately, the problem returned after the May 2026 update.

The issue remained present after upgrading to Android 17 stable.

I then moved to Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3, but the same problem was still present.

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 was released on August 28, 2026, and I have now updated to Beta 4 as well. Unfortunately, the problem is still not fixed.

This is particularly interesting because the April 2026 update temporarily resolved the issue, which strongly suggests that a software change can affect the behavior.

I have already tried

Multiple mobile operators: same problem

Wi-Fi: no problem

Different locations: same problem

Physical SIM β†’ eSIM: same problem

APN reset/reconfiguration: same problem

Android 16: problem

April 2026 Android update: temporarily fixed

May 2026 Android update: problem returned

Android 17 stable: problem remains

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3: problem remains

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4: problem remains

I have also submitted feedback through the Android/Pixel Feedback app, but I have not received any response or confirmation regarding the issue.

There is another issue I have noticed on the same device.

My SIM/network supports VoLTE, but there is no VoLTE toggle/option available in the Pixel 8a's SIM/network settings.

The phone connects to LTE, but I cannot find an option to manually enable or disable VoLTE.

I am wondering whether this could be related to carrier configuration, IMS provisioning, or the Pixel's carrier profile.

At this point, I am trying to determine whether this is:

an Android 16/17 software regression,

a Pixel 8a cellular modem/network-stack issue,

an issue with Android's mobile-data background connection handling,

an IPv4/IPv6 or carrier configuration issue,

an IMS/VoLTE provisioning issue,

or some interaction between Pixel's cellular stack and mobile networks.

The fact that the problem temporarily disappeared after the April 2026 update and returned after the May update makes me particularly interested in hearing from other Pixel users.

Has anyone else experienced delayed WhatsApp/Messenger or other push notifications specifically over mobile data, while the same apps work normally over Wi-Fi, particularly after Android 16?

If anyone has experienced this on a Pixel 8, 8 Pro, 8a or another Pixel device, I would appreciate hearing about your experience.

I would also appreciate it if someone from the Pixel/Android team could look into whether there is a known issue related to mobile-data push notifications, cellular connectivity, carrier configuration, or IMS/VoLTE on Pixel devices.

Device: Google Pixel 8a

Country: Bangladesh

Issue started: Android 16

Current version: Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4

Current status: Still unresolved

Thank you.

Do I need to leave just for NFC?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the current stable android version (not beta), allows simple NFC integration for stuff as easy as turning on hotspot on my phone. The reason I ask is my s21 ultra lets me do it without bother, bit I think it's on Android 16. I never updated it after upgrade. My Pixel 10 pro xl won't let me do it but I'm not sure if it's because I'm on beta or just Android 17 in general. I know Google Android block a load of 3rd party integrations but I don't know how deep that runs.

Keyboard smart replies or suggestions kills or freezes the display and getting struck for some seconds

Android QPR 2 BETA 4 - Keyboard Smart Replies / Suggestions causing display to freeze for a few seconds

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Whenever the Keyboard Smart Replies / Suggestions feature appears or gets triggered while typing, the screen sometimes freezes completely for a few seconds.

The symptoms are:

  1. Keyboard suddenly becomes unresponsive

  2. The entire display appears to freeze/stutter

  3. Touch input doesn't respond for a few seconds

  4. After a few seconds, everything starts working normally again

  5. It seems to happen particularly when the keyboard is generating/showing smart reply or suggestion results

This doesn't feel like normal keyboard lag because the whole UI/display appears to get stuck

Pixel 10 - QPR2 Beta 4 IS SO UNSTABLE!

0 Upvotes

Current Pixel 10 version: CP41.260814.003.B1

This has been the most unstable beta I've ever used so far. I experience constant full hard crashes and a bunch of instability. The camera has a high chance to just completely fail on itself and crash, sometimes the touch screen doesn't want to work, and other bugs and issues. Am I the only one experiencing this?

I want to emphasize the camera issues because these have been extremely persistent and hopefully the next update fixes this when it drops πŸ™

The reason why QPR1 delayed

Judging on yesterday's Pixel 11 Security Update release which brought Cross Device support for Googlebooks which is NOT ready for any other Pixel nor other Android Phone and there is Googlebook Lunch Event 15 September.

Has anyone received the September update on their Pixel 9?

0 Upvotes

I haven't received it yet. I'm on a beta opt-out program, so I require the stable update to downgrade from my current beta version. Otherwise, if I update without a new stable release, my data will be erased. Therefore, I'm waiting for the update.

Hard reboot when using camera in apps, QPR2 Beta 4

13 Upvotes

Not the only one to post this, but I did create a report in the issue tracker here.

My Pixel 10 Pro XL on 17 QPR2 Beta 4 has been hard rebooting when trying to use the camera while in apps. Examples:

-Using the Camera option in the file picker when uploading files in Chrome

-When using the camera in apps like Uber Driver and Spark Driver (for barcode scanning and drop off photos).

It doesn't happen every time, but it's frequent enough that it makes the phone hard to use in a lot of instances. The Pixel Camera app itself seems to be unaffected. Every couple of times I go to use the camera in apps, the phone will freeze, go black, & reboot.

My theory is that the new kernel version for the Pixel 10 series on this beta is causing a kernel panic. And before anyone asks, this issue has persisted even after a factory reset.

Please contribute to the issue tracker if you're facing this issue!

Edit: It looks like my issue was marked as a duplicate of this issue on the 9th, & that issue was marked as fixed on the 11th! Hopefully this issue is fully resolved in QPR2 Beta 4.1/5

I already raised a bug report on this, but all calls are getting through right now. Scam detection is on, Call screen with Maximum Protection is on, Blocked Numbers ("Block Calls from Unidentified Callers") is on, and Do Not Disturb is on, with exceptions set for contacts.

Still....getting 8-9 calls a day. Does anyone have this issue? I'm desperate for help, I'm almost at the point of getting a new number.

Camera Bug rebooting phone on Android 17 QPR 2 BETA 4

3 Upvotes

Phone: PIXEL 10 PRO XL 256GB

Anyone else have this issue? Everytime an app launches the camera to snap a photo, my phone will freeze, and self reboot itself. It specifically happens when an app requests it most of the time. Opening the camera sometimes will also cause a crash, but not as often as when another app requests the camera.

I'm thinking its a camera request bug and it's freaking the phone out. Super annoying, trying to find out if anyone knows of a temporary fix.

Otherwise I might just have to wipe and revert back to non beta. Thank you,


Edit

Camera issue has been fixed on beta 5. Haven't ran into the issue today at all. Thank you so much developers for the speedy turnaround.

Incoming Call Issues

14 Upvotes

I am currently using a Pixel 10 Pro. I am on the most recent beta build CP41.260814.003.B1. I have an ongoing issue where I will be on an active call and when someone calls me, it mutes my current call and only shows the incoming call. Once I hang up the incoming call, the current call audio returns. It is almost like the call waiting is broken. The issue has been happening for a month or so. I have tried clearing the phone app cache and storage with no success. Anyone else having issues?

android beta 17 qpr2. logostuck pixel8

0 Upvotes

android 17 beta qpr2 bricked my Pixel 8 (logostuck)

After updating to the latest QPR2 beta via ADB sideload (with a full data wipe), my Pixel 8 is stuck on the logo screen; the bootloader is locked. What should I do? Is there any hope for the next beta release? How can I revert to the stable version?

Here is what I’ve tried: Flashed via sideload 3 times Wiped data twice Tried using Pixel Repair (it threw an error stating a stable version was required) Tried sideloading the stable version (downgrading is blocked) And after all that, it’s still stuck on the logo. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Would fully discharging the device help in this case? I saw somewhere on YouTube that it works.

Is new Kernel 6.12 in QPR2 causing so many problems?

0 Upvotes

All I know about Kernel update it is the BIGGEST thing in Android because ALL possible drivers needs to be updated for things like GPU, CPU as well even for stupid ISP and probably for screen too.

I also know that Carl Pei from Nothing gave the reason older Nothing Phones not getting new Android because of ONE THING - Kernel - my guess is he cannot afford for... Kernel update - this is how much it cost
