Does anyone have an answer for this? I am on a Pixel 7 Pro with the Pixel watch. When I received the January update for the Pixel 7 Pro my phone would just start to randomly reboot or sometimes it would present the lock screen like it did reboot on me. I have seen it reboot sometimes but not others so not sure about the two differences or if I just didn't notice. I did not have any problems on the November update. I have rest my phone to factory a few times now. The reboots are less frequent but still happen. It reboots after a reset with nothing installed but the Google default apps. I have not taken it to a Verizon store yet. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am currently on the Android 13 Beta 2.1 with the Google Play system update of November 1st, 2023. I have not received the January update yet.

Google identifies the following issues and fixes in this “minor update” to the initial Beta 2 release:

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented devices from automatically connecting to a 5G network even when it was available. (Issue #265093352)
  • Fixed an issue where devices did not drop or reset an existing, encrypted Bluetooth connection after receiving a command to disable link-layer encryption for that connection.

The Android Beta Feedback app is available on Pixel phones to detail issues. You can access it from the app drawer or via Quick Settings to file bugs in the Google issue tracker, while the Android Beta community is on Reddit.

Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1 system images are available for the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro, as well as the Android Emulator. Google notes how:

If you’re already enrolled in the Android 13 beta QPR2 and your device is running Beta 2, you will automatically receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to Beta 2.1. If your device is still on Beta 1, you will automatically receive the Beta 2.1 patch once you update to Beta 2.

Beta 2.1 (T2B2.221216.008) contains the same January 2023 security patch.
