Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 goes live for Pixel Devices

After releasing the Android 15 AOSP to the public, Google speeds up the testing for the next update for Pixel phones. The tech giant has already released two beta builds of Android 15 QPR1. Today, the company has released another gradual upgrade seeding with Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 labeling.

The newest software upgrade for eligible devices is seeding with the AP41.240823.009 firmware version. It is a small incremental upgrade that you can quickly install on your Pixel smartphone or tablet. The update is available for Pixel 6 and newer models; the list also includes recently announced Pixel 9 phones.

The latest incremental update addresses a big list of bugs and known issues on the Pixel devices. Here’s the complete list of changes coming with the Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2.

Bluetooth resolved issues

  • Made AIDL changes to support LE Audio multi-codec, including extensions for vendor codecs.
  • Fixed a bug of ScanRecord.getManufacturerSpecificData() to return merged multiple Manufacturer Specific Data instead of only returning the first Manufacturer Specific Data.
  • Fixed an issue where the phone gets stuck in an incorrect state when the remote device does RFCOMM Disconnection during Codec Negotiation while the phone is already having an active connection with a different device.
  • Fixed an issue where subsequent connection attempts failed locally after an outgoing HFP connection attempt was discarded.
  • Fixed an issue where the first paired device lost audio focus when a second device was paired and reconnected.
  • Fixed an issue where some headsets couldnโ€™t pair using Fast Pair due to a race condition where the Bluetooth stack incorrectly treats a LE-ACL disconnection during classic pairing as a pairing failure.

The Android 15 QPR1 beta 2 is available to users who have opted for the beta program. If you want to continue your Android 15 beta journey, you can go ahead with this beta update.

However, if you want to get the stable Android 15 update, then you have to ignore this update and leave the beta program. If you install QPR1 beta but later wish to downgrade then you will have to reset your phone.

If you want to continue the beta, you can go to the Software/System update page in Settings, and install the update. Donโ€™t forget to take the backup before installing the update.
