Overview

  • Google opened a new Quarterly Platform Release beta for Android 17 on Pixel devices.
  • Participants in the Android Beta Program can install it over the air or flash system images for many recent Pixels and the Android Emulator.
  • The update fixes a print crash during low-ink jobs, a Terminal app freeze that can lock the phone, VoIP audio distortion, and a direct audio output failure with the AIDL audio stack.
  • A Droid Life writer installed the build on a Pixel 10 Pro, signaling the rollout is live for some users.
  • Coverage lists conflicting build IDs for this beta, with 9to5Google citing CP21.260330.008 and Droid Life citing CP31.260403.005.A1.
