Google Releases Android 17 QPR1 Beta 2 for Pixel With Nine Bug Fixes

Overview

• Google rolled out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 2 to enrolled Pixel testers through the Android Beta Program and factory images.
• The update carries nine fixes, including a Terminal app launch crash and an F2FS file-system bug that could cause data loss or instability.
• Other fixes address user issues like incorrect signal bars, enlarged themed icons, jittery recent-apps animations, broken swipe-between-apps gestures, and a Bluetooth tethering toggle that turned off after restarts.
• The build includes the April 2026 Android security patch and supports devices from the Pixel 6 through Pixel 10 lines, plus the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.
• Testers are urged not to install this beta on a primary device, as QPR1 aims for polish over new features after Android 17 reached platform stability.
