TL;DR
- Two weeks following the release of Android 17 QPR1 Beta 4, today Beta 5 becomes available for testers.
- While Beta 4 skipped Pixel 6 and 6 Pro support, they’re now once again included.
- Google’s changelog largely consists of bugfixes.
Last week marked a major milestone for Android releases, with Android 17 finally hitting stable and starting to go out to Pixel devices everywhere. As much as we were looking forward to that release, testers are already onto the next big update beyond that one, with Google’s Android 17 QPR1 Betas giving them a taste of the changes set to land with the September Feature Drop.

- An issue where the camera app temporarily freezes or stutters shortly after being opened from an idle state. (Issue #330488811)
- An issue that caused the screen to freeze with a pixelated bottom bar when waking the device from Always-On Display. (Issue #515393542, Issue #515497396)
- A timeout issue where the Download Manager failed to complete downloads when excluded from an active VPN connection. (Issue #475985649)
- An issue causing inconsistent charging completion time estimates to display on the lock screen versus the charging screensaver. (Issue #489503595)
- An issue causing the Private…
