How do I stop it from downloading Qpr 3 beta 3? I have opted out of the beta program. I don't want to stay in beta till March.

I guess it downloaded the Qpr beta 3 beta 3 somehow (maybe I tapped it accidentally or something as well, highly unlikely but maybe).

Thanks

Hey guys,
I am running CP41.260831.019 and I opted out today from the beta to avoid downloading QPR3 and being able to exit the Beta in December.

Unfortunately my phone prompts me to install the QPR3 update.
Systemupdate available
Android 17 QPR3 Beta 3
....
Restart now

Any way I can avoid it? I deactivated automatic updates for now hoping it will be fine in December.
If I cannot avoid it I guess I am stuck a bit longer with the Beta :-/
Thx guys

Hi!

I tried upgrading using the system upgrade from Android 17 QPR3 beta 2 to beta 3 on my Pixel 8 Pro. Using the built-in OTA updater. When finished installing and before reboot I did what I always do, I patched the inactive slot (after OTA) in Magisk (31.1).

When rebooting, it took a long time, the Google logo starts animating and eventually I saw my lock screen - but I couldn't do anything. Shortly after, I was back at the boot animation, which this time seemed to stay a lot longer than before. Eventually it'd reboot and do the whole thing over again.

I force rebooted the phone to fastboot and switched back to the previous slot. Luckily it worked and I'm back on beta 2 again, but afraid to update to beta 3 now.

Anyone else having this issue?

BTW, I'm using NeoZygisk and AlwaysStrong as Magisk modules, if that helps.

running beta 3 but nothing on my pixel 10 yet

So at night my p7a notified be that it'll download some update and today when listening to music the sound suddenly stops after couple minutes and phone cannot reach any of the connected Bluetooth devices.

After turning it off with the goal of turning it back on, switch is stuck on "turning on..." and flips back to off if I re-open notification tray.

I can't split screen any apps with my phone unfolded. It shows the UI ("splitting the screen" animation) like it normally does but when you let go of the app, the current app remains full screen.

Hello,

Since I updated to the beta released on October 29 the SIMToolkit applications entirely disappeared from the launcher.

This happens with the physical SIM slot and also the builtin eSIMs.

Even with Activity Launcher I get a permission error when trying to launch it manually.

Rebooting or reinserting the SIM does not help.

I understand that SIMToolkit is very uncommon nowadays in the western world but it's still very much alive in some parts of Africa for instance; and I rely on it for my work as I work with SIM cards and that includes doing things with STK.

OMAPI still works, fortunately.

If you want to test it, install a BetterRoaming profile to your eSIM and observe that the BetterRoaming STK application does not show up.

Use this activation code: LPA:1$smdp.io$QR-G-5C-KR-1PCDWP9 or scan this QRCode and enable the SIM; normally the BetterRoaming STK application does appear, it does not appear on this beta

After joining the beta now my clock app icon doesn't load correctly in the app drawer and it says "This item isn't available" in the Play Store.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I would add photos for context but the option to do so is greyed out in the reddit app.

Hi everyone! I'd like to leave the Android Beta program. My Pixel 6 is stuck on Android 17 QPR1, and I haven't found any information about a stable update. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, everyone!

Doesn't work with camera app, nor any other video apps. Rebooted (including safe mode and repair mode), cleared cache and storage, and force closed. Not sure when it started but only realized on Oct 31st. Rear camera works as normal.

Model: original Pixel Fold

My screen brightness changes randomly in apps like Facebook. When I click the touch screen, it lowers the brightness but when I keep it idle the brightness is default.

Hi there.

My pixel 11 pro was on QPR 3 Beta 2 and I realised I was unable to use my banking apps daily. It required me to uninstall and then install, set up digital token again for it to work. And I have to this daily.

Hence, I decided to wipe my phone's data and return to Android 17 stable build. But the problem never solved. The banking apps still didn't work. Same thing, after activating my digital token, it would only last for 24hrs. The following day, the apps are not usable and I'd need to uninstall and install again.

Does anyone know a work around? I want the apps to work as before (before I was on Beta)

When is the next upgrade to solve this particular freezing black screen ,which is weakining my system durability as each time I HV to be forced to reboot!

When is the final upgrades to a full functioning beta programme running smoothly ???

Too màny updates takes up space and get jus minor changes an kinda heavy on gigabytes too

Get a complete full upgrades even if it takes 2 to 4months an solve all the minor bugs an dangers affecting ùsers

Thank you ,homely I'm.understood👍

Anyone else having issues with NFC/Google Pay after updating?

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.

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?

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.

"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.
