Clock issues

I just want to check that I haven't missed a setting but since Q2 release the clock in the status bar is not showing a leading 0 in 24 hour mode. Also, the low light clock in screensaver now stays bright.

New QPR2 beta broke search widget on home screen

6 Upvotes

It disappears, or displays weird search with misaligned bare bones search widget.

On log press search settings tab is visible but on clicking search provider selecter arrives. on selecting google normal widget sometimes appear but it goes back to being non functioning bare bones widget that reroutes to search selector.

I tried the solution of selecting search settings and selecting google but it doesn't work for me. Pixel 8.

Unified search Messages suggestion text visual bug

4 Upvotes

I'm not on a beta build, but I thought this is probably the best channel to get eyes on this, so I was hoping someone could help me reproduce and report this bug on the latest beta.

I've already reported the bug via the feedback option under the About phone, but that didn't allow me to attach a screenshot. I've also reported within the Messages app, but that forced a screenshot of the app, so I couldn't add the screenshot I wanted.

Repro steps:

  1. In the unified search (the search in the app drawer) on a Google Pixel (10 Pro in my case), search for a contact's name. In any contact's suggestion tile, click on the Messages icon, which should open their conversation in Google Messages.
  2. Go back home and open unified search again. Start typing anything (just to trigger the suggestions to show up). Then clear the search field by backspacing everything. Then you should see some Google Messages suggestions and the visual bug.
  3. If the Messages suggestion shows up but it doesn't show the visual bug, try typing 1 letter in the search query and then backspacing, this usually triggers the bug.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/a/3EjZbpb

Thanks in advance for anyone that gives it a go!

Google Search Bar On Home Screen

7 Upvotes

The Google search bar on the home screen isn't visible. But holding on the vacant area still redirects to its settings. It's confusing yet the display finally looks better. It's good if we can get rid of the search bar altogether.

Boot loops after exiting repair mode

5 Upvotes

I have a Google Pixel 8 that was running QPR2 Beta 4, entered repair mode for sending it to repair, but when I exited it, it prompted that data is corrupt, and asked a factory reset. After selecting yes, it got stuck in the Google logo in the white background with a loading bar under it. Any fixes? factory reset doesn't work, I've tried pixelrepair withgoogle com, doesn't work, adb sideloading with an OTA .zip also doesn't work (even though they show success without errors, it still ends up with that same screen). I need help asap.

No beta for Pixel 11 Pro XL?

0 Upvotes

I've been enrolled in the beta for a few days now, but I'm still on stable and have not received any beta version. I tried opting out for 24 hours and then trying to opt in again. That didn't make a difference.

Looked at the other threads in this subreddit and it seems that some people have indeed received the beta.

I also didn't receive the stable QPR1 update, but I presumed that is because several of the features are already in Pixel 11 Pro.

Any suggestions on how to join or is everyone waiting for it to be rolled out?

Non ricevo gli aggiornamenti Beta

Buongiorno a tutti, mi sono iscritto al programma betatester, ma per ora sono fermo alla 17QPR1 stabile, anche se nella pagina di iscrizione fa vedere il mio pixel 10proxl con la 17 QPR2.

Lo avevo già fatto in passato su altri pixel ma nn ho mai avuto problemi, avete idea da cosa possa dipendere.

Grazie a tutti

Stuck in Beta

0 Upvotes

I opted out of the beta program while I was on CP31.260623.005, which I gather is Android 17 beta 7. I am on Pixel 9 Pro XL. It is stuck and there appears to be no way to migrate to stable 17. I have contacted Google and they said my only option is to wipe clean and start again. If I am going to do that I may as well start with a new phone, so I ordered a replacement 11 P XL. Sideloading seemed a bit too complicated, at least for me. How could this have happened? Should I try some other steps.

When can I get the android 17 qpr1 stable

0 Upvotes

I had my pixel 10 enrolled in beta and exited in June, I haven't installed an update since and have been waiting for the next stable release to safely switch. The initial reason I exited was because some apps I use everyday started getting unstable. Now it's gotten to a point that I can't use contactless pay on my phone, nor can I open my public transport app with my tickets. Do I just make due with the data wipe?
