3 articles · Updated · 9to5Google · Aug 17

Summary

  • Android 17 QPR1 Beta 9 is now rolling out to Pixel phones, tablets and foldables, extending a preview Google had unexpectedly kept active after releasing QPR2 Beta 3 on Friday.
  • The update targets several high-impact bugs: app-switching failures after Circle to Search, sudden loud audio during playback or notifications, reboot loops every 20 to 30 seconds, disappearing foldable taskbar icons and intermittent battery drain.
  • Build CP31.260623.012 remains on the July 2026 security patch and is available for 22 supported Pixel devices plus the Android Emulator.
  • Pixel users can install it through the Android Beta Program over the air and report remaining problems through the Android Beta Feedback app or Google’s issue tracker.
