Google is now rolling out Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.1, focusing on resolving numerous bugs and improving system stability. This release comes following the Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 update released earlier this month, which introduced significant UI changes. Notably, both the Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 and Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 released in December have already addressed several bugs.
The latest update, identified as AP11.231215.009, includes the January 2024 security patch. It is available for all Pixel phones starting from the Pixel 6 series to the Google Pixel 8 series. It also includes the Google Pixel 5a, Pixel tablet, and the Google Pixel Fold.
Issues fixed in the Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.1 update
Among the notable issues addressed in this release are improvements to the Game Dashboard overlay, unlocking failures with always-on display mode and fingerprint, Quick Settings dialog height irregularities, incorrect default search engine settings after a cloud backup restore, display area update issues in accessibility settings, and audio quality degradation during calls or recording using the microphone.
The update also tackles problems related to device keyboard settings, missing translations for various languages, work profile icons not displaying for paused work apps, rendering issues with shaders, incorrect scaling of icons in picture-in-picture mode, launcher glitches for foldable devices, and unresponsiveness of the app divider for foldable devices in split-screen mode. Additionally, various issues impacting system stability, performance, connectivity, camera, and accessibility have been addressed.
Although some known problems still exist
However, Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3.1 is not without its known problems. Some users may experience unexpected reboots due to a native crash issue, and a system connectivity issue may cause call failures. Additionally, foldable or tablet devices may encounter UI navigation handle visibility problems. That is per course when it comes to beta builds, though. This is definitely not ready to be used instead of stable software, but it’s getting there.
