Google starts rolling out Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 update
Google is already rolling out the Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 update, while stable Android 15 is yet to start rolling out. At least we know the build is not in the beta phase again, with the company already planning on the December Quarterly Platform release.
With the QPR, Google delivers user-facing changes that do not warrant waiting for the next Android OS upgrade. However, the latest changes are exclusive to beta testers, with the general public expected to get in December.
The update is rolling out with version number AP41.240823.009 and brings September 2024 security patch. It’s available for the Pixel 9 series, meaning it might fix the Android Auto issues. We recommend installing the latest update as we believe it will address the recent bugs being reported.

Bluetooth resolved issues
Made AIDL changes to support LE Audio multi-codec, including extensions for vendor codecs.
Fixed a bug of ScanRecord.getManufacturerSpecificData() to return merged multiple Manufacturer Specific Data instead of only returning the first Manufacturer Specific Data.
Fixed an issue where the phone gets stuck in an incorrect state when the remote device does RFCOMM Disconnection during Codec Negotiation while the phone is already having an active connection with a different device.
Fixed an issue where subsequent connection attempts failed locally after an outgoing HFP connection attempt was discarded.
Fixed an issue where the first paired device lost audio focus when a second device was paired and reconnected.
Fixed an issue where some headsets couldn’t pair using Fast Pair due to a race condition where the Bluetooth stack incorrectly treats a LE-ACL disconnection during classic pairing as a pairing failure.
