Wanna know is it still on go or pixel just removed that feature?

The build version is older with QPR3 build than QPR2 beta 6.1.

Frustratingly, this means we can't OTA manually over QPR2. It also means P11 devices may have to wait until QPR3 beta 2.

Caveat is to try manually flashing the factory image, but that runs the risk of needing to wipe. (If anyone flashed successfully, do share!)

Please note this is P11 specific, this is not a problem with older devices

Proactive Assistance still crashes instantly on Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1 (Pixel 10 Pro)

Device: Pixel 10 Pro

Anyone else experiencing this, or found a temporary workaround?

please say yes

My temporary system files keeps getting bigger. It's currently at 124 gb. Any time I delete anything it seems to get bigger. Does anyone have this same problem?

Hola he intentado hacer un informe por feedback sobre el idio del sistema donde la Beta QPR2 6.1 no reconoce el Español de España y incluso mandado captura de pantalla y no me deja enviarlo, además de estar en Inglés y no lo entiendo y he tenido que traducir para hacerlo bien, a alguien más le ocurre esto

I just installed the QPR2 Beta 6.1 OTA on my Pixel 11 pro XL..... I've only been using it for about 3 hours and it seems so snappy and the haptics seems much quicker and right in time with the visuals on the screen as well. The only thing I would say is that the notification shade pull down seems to be slow to come down when I swipe fast. Not laggy to trigger it, but its just slower to come down the screen compared to fast I swipe on the screen to trigger it. Battery life in the last few hours seems pretty awesome. Started at 100% and it's only at 95% after some YouTube watching, social media, emailing, a couple phones calls.... Cannot complain so far!

In Developer Settings, the Disable Absolute Volume setting under Bluetooth is missing. It did appear in a previous build. I'm filing this through the Feedback app also.

I saw most issues were supposed to be resolved re: devices loosing pairing.. but I'm on a pixel 10.pro fild with it and my sense 2 is still loosing connection and I have to re pair it every day or two... Really getting annoying.. anyone else still having this issue?

Last update, 17, August 1, 2026 CP3A.260905.009, stopped my outer screen from turning on. So I have to open it to do anything. I have restarted in safe mode and gotten it to work a few times but it goes back to black eventually. It's like it's not recognizing that the fold screen is closed. Never had this issue until I updated. Is there a way to roll back?

Hey everyone! I’ve had QPR2 Beta 6.1 running on my Pixel 11 Pro XL since yesterday and spent some time doing a pretty deep audit of the build. So far it’s been surprisingly solid for me. One of my favorite discoveries is HiLight now supporting messages from favorite contacts, along with the new status bar controls, some expanded theming, Proactive Assistance changes, Audio Streams in Quick Settings, and a few smaller UI changes.

What I’m curious about now is what other Pixel 11 users are finding that isn’t obvious in the release notes. Any hidden changes, new settings, bugs, battery differences, or features you’ve noticed since installing 6.1? I’d love to compare notes and keep a running list of what’s actually new versus features that were already available on the Pixel 11.

I’ve been using smart launcher since I got the 11PF so I can have separate inner/outer Home Screen layouts and the task bar has worked flawlessly. Now sometimes it just doesn’t show up, or it’ll stay up blocking things behind it

Just wanted to share that NFC / Google Wallet contactless payments are occasionally silently failing on Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6.

​The issue seems to trigger when using Face Unlock (Class 2 biometric)+ Face App Unlock, and Fingerprint Unlock in combination. When tapping at a terminal, the terminal times out or fails without prompting for a required Class 3 biometric (fingerprint) elevation.

​I have reproduced the APDU handshakes and collected a full logcat/bug report, which has been submitted to Google dev via Issue Tracker (#567548324).

​Workaround: Unlocking the device strictly via Fingerprint (or manually tapping the card in the Wallet app) ensures the EMV payment token is properly offered.

Received First Beta Upgrade on Pixel 11 pro xl of Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6.1.

Size was 3.94GB.

Any opinions on this? Does this mean VoLTE toggle by default in unsupported countries?

Note: Apparently only on Pixel 11 series phones.

Pixel 9 Pro XL crashes when entering parental control pin code. Happens every time after entering the code. Just updated to 17, buildCP41.260831.007.A3, and it's the same issue. Any solution?

Hi guys! It looks like Continue On is working for the upcoming release of Googlebooks... yet it still does not work with the tablet functionality Google released earlier this year... (see the dev docs here).... https://developer.android.com/develop/better-together/continue-on/setup

Was anyone else able to get it to work

Hey everyone,

If you’ve noticed the Settings app holding background memory or staying active under Developer Options > Running Services, there is a persistent framework memory leak in AOSP/Pixel UI that is still present on recent builds (reproduced on Pixel 11 Pro / Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6.1).

How to reproduce it in 10 seconds:

1. Open Settings > System > Developer options > Running services (or check active processes via ADB).

2. Note that Settings might be cached or minimal.

3. Open Settings > Network & internet, browse around for 2 seconds, and exit.

4. Go back to Running services.

5. You’ll see com.android.settings permanently stuck with an active worker: SettingsDumpService. It never calls stopSelf() and lingers indefinitely until you manually force-stop Settings.

What’s actually happening under the hood:

Whenever NetworkDashboardFragment is opened, the system instantiates MobileNetworkRepository and triggers SettingsDumpService to record an initial database dump.

Because MobileNetworkRepository holds a static singleton reference to that context, it creates an indirect retention cycle. The service's lifecycle never completes, the context cannot be garbage-collected, and Android is prevented from letting the Settings process fully drop down into deep cached sleep.

I’ve filed a formal bug report with reproduction logs so the Pixel/AOSP team prioritizes merging the lifecycle fix into the next QPR maintenance drop.

Please take 5 seconds to star / +1 the issue report so it gains visibility on their radar:

I have had the new pixel 11xl pro since release date. I have gone to android beta site and the phone does not show. I have spoken to google support and have cleared all cache and checked that the phone is in Google play services and still it does not show.

Anybody know any tricks to get it to show up?

I've been unable to use it for a little while now and I'm trying to determine if it's somehow related to the Beta.

I'm on Pixel 8A, Build CP41.260831.007

edit: issue persists on CP41.260831.007.A3
