Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update now rolling out for Google Pixel devices

If your Google Pixel device is running Android 14 QPR2 Beta, you are in luck, as the new Beta 2 update is now available bringing a set of fixes to make the experience more usable on a daily basis, although maintaining some issues expected from software in testing stage.

According to the official changelog, among the fixes that the Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update for Google Pixel devices brings, there are four that are especially notable.

• Fixed an issue where battery usage information that was reported in system settings was sometimes incorrect.
• Fixed an issue where the fingerprint icon on the lock screen would sometimes display before other information had loaded in always-on display mode.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the biometric prompt to crash, causing it to be dismissed before a user could interact with it.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Internet Quick Settings tile to indicate that there was no Wi-Fi connection, even when the device was connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Regarding the known issues still present in the latest beta update, there are three main ones that affect the fingerprint scanning experience, Pixel Fold inner display and ‘At a Glance’ widget:

• Sometimes when a user unlocks the device using their fingerprint, there is no haptic feedback.
• For Pixel Fold devices, sometimes after a user unlocks the device while it’s folded, the inner display doesn’t turn on after unfolding the device.
• The Assistant ‘At a Glance’ widget sometimes displays weather information for the wrong location.

The Google Pixel devices compatible with the update are as follows:

• Pixel 5a
• Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
• Pixel 6a
• Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
• Pixel 7a
• Pixel Fold
• Pixel Tablet
• Pixel 8 and 8 Pro
