Google is handing out Android 13 QPR3 Beta 2 to Pixel phones just two weeks after the original preview release. QPR3 will be released to the public in June and will be the final major quarterly update for Android 13.
Before, previews were released regularly, but this beta arrived considerably sooner than planned. This might be connected to Google’s need to finish QPR3 testing before releasing Android 14 Beta 1 to Android Beta Program members, as revealed earlier this month.
Issues resolved from the Android 13 QPR3 Beta 2 update
Here are the resolved issues from the Android 13 QPR3 Beta 2 update:
- Fixed an issue that caused the volume panel to flicker when adjusting the volume using the volume buttons.
- Fixed an issue that caused the system UI to get stuck in a blurry state in some cases, such as unlocking the device or finishing a phone call.
- Fixed an issue where the notification shade was closing immediately after a user opened it.
- Fixed an issue where the always-on display was displayed over apps and other content after unlocking the device.
- Fixed an issue where a device couldn’t copy apps and data wirelessly during first-time setup.
Android 13 QPR3 Beta 2 system images are available for the Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro. as well as in the Android Emulator.
