Google Rolls Out Android XR Patch to Fix Galaxy XR Stability Problems

The move signals a focus on stability for a young XR platform following widespread reports of slowdowns on Galaxy XR.

Overview

  • Google is pushing build I610UEU2AZD8 to Galaxy XR headsets as a stability and performance update based on user feedback.
  • The prior update triggered a memory leak that filled system memory within 20 to 30 minutes and left apps stuttering and the headset hard to use.
  • Early user reports on Reddit say tracking hitches and lag are improved, though some Virtual Desktop users now see garbled frames when moving the cursor.
  • Users can check for the update in Settings, then Software update, and tap Download and install to apply the patch.
  • Android XR, Google’s system for mixed and extended reality, is still limited to the Galaxy XR, and coverage points to possible updates on future devices at Google I/O.
