Overview
- Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 reached Platform Stability on Monday, locking the API surface so developers can finalize app compatibility testing.
- The build fixes device-level problems that could cause overheating and unexpected reboots and corrects an 80 percent battery limit bug that made the final 2 percent of charging take excessively long.
- Beta 4 repairs audio and input failures by resolving an audio-service resource lock that disabled microphones after screen recording and fixes Bluetooth and Recents UI routing issues that sent calls to the phone speaker or froze app cards.
- Hardware and accessory integrations were restored with fixes for USB-C XR glasses screen mirroring, blank 3D smart‑glasses displays, and low-light Face Unlock failures that forced PIN entry.
- Pixel 11 models were added to the Android Beta Program to receive Beta 4 now while Google continues beta testing and plans a stable QPR2 release bundled with a Pixel Feature Drop in December.
