Google Rolls Out Android 17 QPR3 Beta 3 With 26 Pixel Fixes

Fixes for persistent display, Wi‑Fi and app‑crash problems come with device‑specific system images for a wide range of Pixel phones and the Android Emulator.

Overview

  • QPR3 Beta 3 is rolling out to enrolled Pixel beta testers and as downloadable system images for many Pixel models and the Android Emulator.
  • The build identifiers are DP11.261016.004 for Pixel 11 series devices and DP11.261016.003 for other supported models.
  • The release lists about 26 fixes that include an inner display blackout on foldables, crashes in the Twitter/X thread viewer, WPA‑Enterprise PEAP authentication failures, and multiple UI and rendering glitches such as blank icons in dark mode and flickering accessibility icons.
  • Testers can join the Android Beta Program to receive the OTA and should report bugs via the Android Beta Feedback app or the Android Beta Reddit community, noting that leaving the beta after installing some builds can require a full device wipe.
  • QPR3 is part of Google’s iterative polishing cycle for Android 17 to restore stability and polish user‑facing behavior ahead of the OS’s broader rollout expected later this year.
