Google rolling out Android 17 QPR2 Beta 5 for Pixel

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 5 now available for Pixel devices, with this release nearly three weeks since the last update.

Beta 5 addresses the following issues:

• Changing a Bluetooth device type in settings failed to update its icon visually. (Issue #516071134)
• A system stability issue that caused unexpected device reboots during continuous UI scrolling in media-heavy applications. (Issue #544291113)
• Pressing hardware volume buttons while casting media prevented the system volume slider UI from displaying. (Issue #548145018)
• Fixed a text-rendering issue that caused unexpected background highlights to appear when typing in search fields, and resolved a navigation routing issue that prevented Private Space from unlocking correctly. (Issue #548285596)
• Enhanced HDR mode remained enabled despite being turned off in user settings. (Issue #547457910)
• Launching Google Wallet via the power button shortcut caused the touchscreen to become unresponsive. (Issue #549758084)
• Camera crashes during panorama processing. (Issue #551069625)
• Bluetooth audio experiences noise and distortion after completing or answering a call. (Issue #541684282)

As always, you can report issues via the Android Beta Feedback app on Pixel devices. Access it from the application drawer or Quick Settings to file bugs in Google’s issue tracker. There’s also the Android Beta community on Reddit.
