Overview
- Google rolled out Android 17 Beta 4.1 on June 1, 2026, delivering a focused quality‑of‑life update ahead of the platform’s stable launch.
- The patch fixes five concrete problems: the status bar showing zero signal bars despite active connectivity, a Quick Settings mobile‑data icon that stayed active in Airplane mode, external displays going black at high resolutions, Bluetooth audio becoming silent after interruptions, and paired hearing aids being forgotten.
- Beta 4.1 is offered as an over‑the‑air update to enrolled Pixel testers and as factory and OTA images for manual sideloading so users can install it even if they skipped earlier betas.
- The release carries two firmware builds—CP21.260330.011 and CP21.260330.011.A1—with the .A1 variant targeted at certain older Pixel models.
- The .1 maintenance followup comes after Google called Beta 4 its last scheduled beta; QPR1 testing continues in parallel and testers are advised to avoid running pre‑release software on their primary phone.
