Summary
Android 17 QPR3 Beta 2 is now reaching Pixel devices ahead of the March 2027 launch, with Google targeting 21 bugs in the latest preview build.
Eight of those fixes address intermittent crashes and reboots during normal use, while other high-impact patches tackle shutdowns during WhatsApp video calls, black screens after phone calls and high idle battery drain.
Connectivity and device-pairing problems also got attention, including failures affecting Dish Network data services, IT&E VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling, OXIO Wi-Fi Calling, Bluetooth pairing and Wi-Fi Aware data paths.
The update also resolves interface and app issues such as lock-screen notification overlap, screen-recording freezes after rotation, tiny system scaling, app drawer closures when switching keyboard language and Airbnb messaging failures.
Build DP11.261002.005 is available via system images and the Android Beta Program OTA for supported Pixel models from the Pixel 6a through the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, plus the Android Emulator.
