Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 is now available for Pixel devices even as testing on QPR3 got underway last week.

Beta 7 addresses the following issues:

• Excessive battery drain during idle states when Flip to Shh prevents the device from entering deep sleep. (Issue #560036427, Issue #569079944)
• HTTPS downloads fail immediately when initiated through the system DownloadManager. (Issue #562833711)

Report issues via the Android Beta Feedback app on Pixel devices. Access it from the application drawer or Quick Settings to file bugs in Google’s issue tracker. There’s also the Android Beta community on Reddit.
