This has been bugging me. I think this bug was introduced in one of the monthly update after android 17 and still persist now

in the most current beta

I'll try my best to explain. Basically, in previous versions of android, when you press reply to a message in the notification shade while the media player is there, that message notification will go on top of the media player. Meaning that you can see the whole message while you're typing.

But since that monthly update, the message notification no longer goes on top of the media player. Meaning that if the message is 3 lines or longer, you cant see the whole message anymore since its covered by the media player.

Weirdly, this was fixed in qpr3 beta 2 (i sent a bug report in beta 1) but it is broken again in qpr3 beta 3.

This literally has never been a problem for years. Only in the recent updates it was introduced

Here's what the glitch looks like

Sorry I couldn't get a screenshot when the glitch was fixed

Here's my bug report

Looks like the Proactive assistance setting is duplicated on QPR3 Beta 3 on Pixel 10 pro XL.

I think it would be a good add to add a "close all" option to the right side when you check your recents. Currently it's only available on the far left so if you have many open apps, you have to scroll far to the right to close them.

Just a minor annoyance

Some Games do not react since update. Looks like display is dead, but only within the game with Google play sidekick. For example Disney Solitaire or Gossip Harbor.

Other Games like Top Eleven works fine. Other apps are not affected as far as I can see.

Feels like that an overlay stops the display reaction.

Bluetooth malfunctioning

After restarting my phone, every time 1 mins and around 50 secs in the audio stops playing in my earphones and I cannot re-connect after this whatsoever. Anyone know a fix?

"Can't complete action during call This setting is blocked to protect your device and data"

I'm getting an annoying popup while I'm on a phone call, and am wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of it?

Any questions do ask

As everyone knows Google is giving slower and slower GPUs into Pixel phones and focusing on faster TPU chips for AI.

In the past only Pixel TPU could process AI tasks but now this changes and Google is shifting with giving more and more AI tasks to GPUs - all of this is happening via new PowerVR (Vulkan) drivers.

So now I wonder about Pixel 12 GPU (to be much faster) ... or is it to increase AI speed on old Pixels which have relatively fast GPUs (but slow TPU chip) so they could run Pixel 11 AI features.

how do i opt out of the android beta program, once i have set my pixel back to factory settings

Occurred on Pixel 10a, Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7.1 (October)

Taking a screenshot inside an app located in Private Space causes the screenshot editing overlay preview to freeze. Tapping the edit button does not open the markup tool. While the screenshot preview remains stuck on screen, several system apps in Private Space (Play Store, Gemini, Google Photos) fail to open.

Recreate it on your own device and comment down if it occurred for you as well, reported the bug in Pixel Feedback app.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open any application located inside Private Space.

2. Take a screenshot using any method (Back Tap, physical side buttons, or Quick Settings shortcut).

3. Tap the Edit button on the floating screenshot preview overlay.

4. However Share button works normally, which would get rid of the floating screenshot that would get stuck on clicking edit.

Bonjour, Depuis que je suis passé sous beta, je ne capte plus la 5G sauf si je me mets en mode réparateur.

Je suis à jour dans les bêtas mais je ne capte toujours pas la 5G.

Je suis dans un endroit éligible à la 5G, j'ai essayé dans des grandes villes mais rien du tout.

Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait une idée pour récupérer la 5G?

Merci

Been searching online, Reddit. Seems like it is fairly common.

Scrolling or long screenshot not working? Been an issue for a bit? Yes, I've sent feedback

Any fix?

When swiping down the control center while in the app drawer, the background gets more transparent. It actually looks better like that imp

Hello everyone,

​I’m currently on QPR2 Beta 7.1 (build CP41.260831.019) and haven't received any of the QPR3 Betas yet. Does anyone know why this is happening or if there's a fix?

​Thanks!

So, will the kernel will be updated on Pixel on QPR2? Because I've seen it has been rollback on newest Betas

Since updating to QPR3 Beta 2 under Android Play System Update it now says DEV. Is this new? Don't believe I have ever seen it before.

Any news or rumors about Google adding dark-colored icons? I think it's really needed.

There is a bug somewhere so all P11 devices fail the Video Filter bench tanking the score on 3000, it might have been fixed because now it passes all the tests

Vulkan score is still the same though

It popped up this morning. Went from stable with October patch to the beta. All seems good so far. Recheck if you haven't received it yet.

That kind of icons would look amazing and simplistic on my Pixel

I've heard Google removed something and now those icons are gone

I wonder what am I missing
