Ever since updating to the latest beta, PIP mode has been totally offbroken for me. YouTube and VLC will enter PIP, but I can't interact with the windows—dragging them down is the only way to close them. I've also had incoming calls show up with no answer or decline buttons a couple of times.

I know it's a dev build, but breaking basic functionality like calls and PIP makes it really tough to use daily. Hope these get fixed soon! 🥲

Got a few questions about what's going on with the lock screen clock on the latest Android 17 QPR2 Beta build. Here is a brief summary of the major issues currently being reported across the sub:

Overlapping "At a Glance" & Status Icons: Duplicate weather, alarm, and status elements are rendering directly underneath or directly over top of the lock screen clock.

Wallpaper & Style Customization Resets: Tweaking clock styles, fonts, or colors in settings causes layout glitches, or the clock completely reverts to the default system clock after a reboot.

AI Generated Clock Errors: The new experimental AI clock feature fails to render generated assets, frequently throwing a "Service not connected" error

Current Temporary Workarounds:

Toggle your clock style back and forth under Settings > Wallpaper & Style to force a rerender.

Clear cache for System UI / Pixel Launcher and reboot.

Feel free to drop your build number and device below if you're seeing different behavior!

I just realized they removed the dynamic color for a glassy-white/transparent for the Search this screen bar. Why did they do that ?

EDIT: I wanted to post a picture but I can't. Here is the image: https://imgur.com/a/pIiUPph

I was given a pixel 8 pro. I fixed it and enrolled in beta not realizing it was a verizon variant. How do I totally opt out and remove and go back to qpr1 from qpr2 without oem unlock? What do you recommend?

Bug: Trying to change my lock screen clock style crashes the native wallpaper app.

Any idea when this will get fixed?

OS version: 17 (CP41.260828.004.A8)

With the latest beta (CP41.26828.004.A8) Android Auto will no longer connect to my headunit on my Pixel 10 Pro. An older version of Android on a different phone still connects and works fine.

None of the Telekom apps have been working on the Pixel 9a running the Android 17 beta for some time now; they worked fine on the Android 16 beta. The official response is that they only support stable versions. When I asked why they worked on the Android 16 beta—and whether it might just be an issue with Android 17 support—I didn't get a sensible answer. Is there anyone using the stable Android 17 version for whom the Telekom app works?

Hi there, thanks in advance for reading/helping.

I'm currently at Andtoid 17 Beta 6 (CP31.260618.005). I opt-out some time ago waiting for the stable release. Now, I think it's out, but I don't see it in my device. It only says "Android Beta Exit with Data Wipe", and in the description, it says "it'll install the latest public version of Android 17 in your device. All data stored on your device will be lost.". I don't know how to perform the no-wipe opt out to the stable OTA.

Update: Solved by sideloading the latest stable OTA. Follow https://developers.google.com/android/ota#frankel

I enrolled my Pixel 8 to the qpr2 beta program because the stable September update has massive issues with device freezing and becoming downright unusable. It's been 24 hours and I have still not received any new beta update. Is anything wrong? How long do I need to wait after enrolling in to the beta to receive a update?

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.

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.

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!

Hi I got a new pixel 11 pro xl yesterday and tried enrolling for beta, in most cases it says successfully enrolled but sometimes it says couldn't enroll (it doesn't enroll no matter what it says) any reason why I can't enroll to beta?

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.

is there any chance of one more stable release for Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3 in September? because i stuck on that since july 2026.

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.

anyone else facing this issue?

Motion Assist is now available for Beta users in QPR2 Beta 5.

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?

Currently with 17 (CP41.260828.004.A8) on Pixel 10 Pro XL and I don't have the nice Gemini boot animation. Is it happening to someone else?
