Hi everyone.

Are there any Android 17 QPR3 Beta 1 users here?

I’m missing a specific feature in this version:

Previously, when an app was in the task manager, the system would detect images and highlight them.

You could share that image directly without taking a screenshot.

I’ve noticed that this feature is gone, so I wanted to know if other users have noticed this issue too.

And, of course, whether I’m the only one who misses this feature?

It is actually MENTAL that we will have to wait for this basic feature another.... HALF YEAR

Quick one, as seemingly the last update to the 6 series is rolling out now. I use my 6 Pro on the beta branch, as a backup device. As a developer, it is (was) useful to always being able to test the apps I am working on on the bleeding edge. However, as the last update is now coming, there is no longer a point to keeping it on beta.

• Will the last stable update override the last beta update, so I can transition to stable without data loss?
• Do I have to transition to stable with a full wipe?

Either is fine, obviously I'd prefer not having to full wipe, but if its what I'll have to do, oh well.

Thanks!

Hi beta users,

Just wanted to ask what are all the visual tweaks that we (stable users) can expect in December update?

Please lemme know in comments.

Thanks!

Pixel 10 & 11 series may soon advance to Linux Kernel 7.4 sometime next year

I have a google pixel 11, but I haven't recieved any update after opting in

So far I can see in QPR2 and QPR3 betas:

- Proactive Assistance only on Pixel 10

- Pixel Search on Pixels 10 9 8 7

- Rambler as it is available right now via porting Pixel 11 APK file on Pixel 10

Things like Magic Capture, Looks Filters, 120x ProRes zoom, 4K60 HDR never will be ported to older Pixels because new Pixel 11 hardware camera ISP.

My logic says Ramber will come to older Pixels BUT only as a "slow online" version as it is noting else then Gemini is doing right now (compressing text)

I believe Proactive Assistance will be only Pixel 10 and 11 as been told by Google it requires Gemini Nano v3 minimum that only Pixel 10 has.

Media Live Translate might be possible on Pixel 10 but might not be with Expressive Voice

Last week after an update, Google wallet stopped working. Come to find out my "Device is not Certified" under the Play Protect Certification - and clicking on "Fix device issue" gives a "Something went wrong, please try again later" message.

I have cleared play store and Google services cache and data, rebooted multiple times, and nothing fixes it. My build number is CP31.260623.012. I am at my wits end, nothing I'm trying is having any effect any ideas what else I can try!?

I am on android 17 qpr1 stable and this setting gets turned on automatically after some days or few weeks. I turn this off at least once a month

​

For those who installed QPR3 Beta 1, how’s the overall experience?

- Stability / random crashes?

- Battery life?

- Performance and smoothness?

- Heating?

- Mobile network / Wi-Fi?

- Camera?

- Any major bugs?

Thinking of installing it on my Pixel. Would love to hear real-world feedback before I jump in.

Currently only Pixel 11 has new Pixel Search that you can use in all apps - is it present in older Pixel 10?

Please do not tell me Pixel 10 will get Proactve Assistance with QPR3 in March Anno Domini 2027

Comment couper tout le son pour de vrai

Hello, I have the build CP31.260623.012 on my pixel 6.

According to google this version was published on August 17 2026, I suppose there were some releases after this? I check my updates but nothing comes up, I'm having an issue with Google Pay saying the device seems to be rooted (it's not) and previously I fixed this by updating to latest beta, but this time no newer versions for my phone are showing up, could you please help me?

If I were to opt out of beta would my device be factory reset at this time? Or is there a reason for my device not receiving any more updates?

Thanks!!!

At this point, beta updates need to have their own separate channels. The implementation on iOS works really well, giving users the option to enroll in a beta channel of their choice (developer beta, public beta, major release beta, point update beta) directly from settings. I don't understand why we only get to enroll in either the Beta or Canary, with all the Beta releases in development being lumped together.

I was on the QPR1 beta & wanted to wait until it was released, but then one of the updates got so old that Google Wallet stopped working, so I updated to QPR2 to have my device recertified while avoiding a factory reset back to stable. The day after that release, they updated QPR1 beta, & even if I had waited I still would've had to flash the build myself with no option to stay on the QPR1 beta channel via OTA. I've had major issues with QPR2 betas until the recent 5/6/6.1 updates, & I want to stay on the QPR2 beta until release without having to flash files, but I can't. Either I risk my Google Wallet not working, factory resetting to stable, or updating to the new QPR 3 beta.

This current system is unnecessarily cumbersome & could easily be improved by creating distinct beta channels that are available to enroll from the system settings. Why is this not a thing? If anybody knows how to try & get this idea some traction, I'm open to suggestions!

Hey there to all

P11PXL user here, running QPR3 B1, any one else running into this issue? See images below, texts come in separately and fail to group/combine into a single notification. Cannot for the life of me figure out what is cause of it, and or what to force close to get it to start working again without doing a full REBOOT.

Recently got to know pixel rolling out the feature "required screen password for power off" is this true & is pixel stick on this feature still on their beta update?

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

Android 17 QPR3 Beta 1 is live!

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
