Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6 Update Released for Pixel Phones
Key Points:
- Google released the Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6 update today, covering all supported Pixel phones from the Pixel 6a through the Pixel 10 series, though the Pixel 11 is not officially listed despite joining in Beta 5 last month.
- Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users are excluded from this beta update, with their last major update being Android 17 QPR1 released last week, and no QPR2 expected for these models.
- The update addresses six bugs, including issues with letterboxed content leaking through the status bar, blank screensavers while charging, unexpected reboots on Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and kernel crashes related to biometric verification and app gestures.
- It also includes continued enhancements to protect Android against call forwarding fraud.
- Users can access the update via the Android Beta Program or by flashing OTA images available online.
