As much as we were looking forward to that release, testers are already onto the next big update beyond that one, with Google\u2019s Android 17 QPR1 Betas giving them a taste of the changes set to land with the September Feature Drop. After QPR1 Beta 4 landed two weeks back, Google\u2019s now ready to move on to QPR1 Beta 5.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s Mishaal Rahman shares the good news over on X, confirming that build CP31.260608.007 is incoming for testers on Pixel 6 and later devices. That\u2019s important because last time the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro were explicitly excluded \u2014 although Google promised we\u2019d see support for those older models returning with this new release.<\/p>\n<p>As you should probably expect from a Beta 5, at this point Google\u2019s largely in cleanup mode \u2014 and that spells a whole lot of bugfixes. Here\u2019s what Google shares to expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An issue in the Game Dashboard where users were unable to stop screen recordings or save video files. (Issue #296368569,\u00a0Issue #328539170)<\/li>\n<li>An issue where the camera app temporarily freezes or stutters shortly after being opened from an idle state. (Issue #330488811)<\/li>\n<li>An issue that caused the screen to freeze with a pixelated bottom bar when waking the device from Always-On Display. (Issue #515393542,\u00a0Issue #515497396)<\/li>\n<li>A timeout issue where the Download Manager failed to complete downloads when excluded from an active VPN connection. (Issue #475985649)<\/li>\n<li>An issue causing inconsistent charging completion time estimates to display on the lock screen versus the charging screensaver.
