Overview
- Google rolled out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3 for Pixel devices, identified as build CP31.260508.005.
- The update fixes crackling or distorted media audio, Wi‑Fi drops caused by false low‑quality detection, and UI elements cutting off in full‑screen apps.
- It also restores missing home screen widgets after reboot, quiets excessive system logging from ContextHubClientManager, and corrects the mobile data icon staying lit in Airplane Mode.
- Pixel owners can get the build through the Android Beta Program or by flashing the posted OTA and factory images, with support spanning Pixel 6 through Pixel 10 models plus Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, and the Android Emulator.
- Testers are asked to report bugs via the Android Beta Feedback app or the Android Beta Reddit community as Google polishes QPR1 following Android 17’s platform stability.
