Summary
Nearly three weeks after the last update, Google released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 5 for Pixel phones and tablets through the Beta Program and system images.
The build targets a string of bugs, including unexpected reboots during continuous scrolling in media-heavy apps, camera crashes during panorama processing, and Private Space unlock failures.
Bluetooth and media controls were a major focus: Google fixed device icons not updating, audio noise after calls, and a missing system volume slider while casting.
Google also patched UI glitches affecting search-field text highlights, Wallet launches from the power-button shortcut that froze touchscreens, and HDR mode staying on after users disabled it.
Build CP41.260828.005.A6 covers the Pixel 6a, 7 series, Fold and Tablet, while CP41.260828.004.A8 serves other supported devices up to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
