Clash of clans game load up

The game will load up on like a view only type of mode everything is translucent but a quick guesture swipe up from the bottom and reload fixes it. Just wanted to mention it.

Is anyone else having trouble with Youtube today on Android QPR beta BP11.241025.006?

YouTube on Pixel 7 Pro is crashing on startup for me today. Is this an Android beta thing or YouTube. Anyone else?

Where do the QPR letters numbers are?

I'm on a Pixel 6a, I'm on beta. My build number is BP11.241025.006

I don't see the QPR thing anywhere, maybe in the update notification? But I don't remember.

Google search confused me more, I mean the flair selection here was better, I just selected the last one for my phone

Opt out from A15 QPR2 Beta 1 ?

has anyone already opt out from QPR2 Beta 1 ?
I want to opt out but afraid that it might cause some issue because of the Kernel is on Linux 6.1 not the 5.10 like the stable A15 December
I don't mind the data wipe, just afraid that it might brick my phone

Possible QPR1 beta 3.1 to stable update?

Hi!

Today Google released stable QPR1 OTA builds for Telstra and T-Mobile and at least T-Mobile build has a timestamp of 20 minutes newer (1731608935 vs 1731610295) than the QPR1 Beta 3.1 build, so in theory you can sideload T-Mobile build on top of Beta 3.1 and get a stable build.

Should I try? I'm not on T-Mobile btw, so I'm not sure if it will work at all.

Edit: I did it and now I'm on stable QPR1! Cellular works fine (not T-Mobile). So you can try this at you own risk.

Just curious about beta update frequency

This is my first Google beta after having used Samsung bera the last couple of years. Just out of curiosity, do beta's usually release once a month? Or is it more random than that? It's not particularly important to me, I'm just curious what the norm is.

Battery drain

So latest beta the battery drain on p6 pro has been crazy high.

Any suggested fixes to stop the bleed? Appears to be Google play services.

If you are stuck on v15 qpr 3.1 star this issue and DO NOT COMMENT ON THERE.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/383178045

As the title says do not comment on that page. Only star. Commenting sends an email to everyone. Staring the issue let's Google know how many are affected. Device doesn't matter as it seems all who installed 3.1 (via OTA or ADB sideload) can't get the final December OTA / android 15 feature drop 1.

Seems Google has taken the issue, escalated it (from S2 to S1) and looking to perform a fix. No timeline on when to expect a fix (I'm not Google so I couldn't tell you)

Could be fixed with an actual over the air update (the wipe OTA disappears) or could be fixed only with an ADB sideload and a computer. Again not sure how Google is going to handle this extremely rare issue, and again I'm not Google so I couldn't tell you.

Thanks for your time.

No Wipe Beta Exit Arrived! QPR1

Just posting as I was finally able to update to Android 15 stable coming from the QPR1 beta with no device wipe... Update showed up on my pixel 9 pro about 10 minutes ago!

For those of you waiting, keep an eye out, looks like Google is finally rolling it out... Was gonna post a screenshot of the update page but apparently we can't do images here?

Edit: Just noting that I am coming from QPR1 beta 3.0, i never updated to 3.1, no clue if that will make a difference here or not.

"desktop mode" Mouse and keyboard issue

When connecting a mouse and keyboard to the desktop, the mouse just stays on my phone screen. I have to fiddle around with it to get it work. Anyone know of a more stable way?

Also "desktop mode" in dev settings has been removed, but if you turn on freeform windows on secondary display, it works.

Pixel Screen Recorder not recording audio

Does anyone else have the same issue as me? If I start a screen recording it doesn't record the audio. The screen records fine.

This only happened after I downloaded the latest beta build - Pixel 8 BP11.241025.006

Nova Launcher Long Press

I am on QPR2 Beta 1 as well as the latest nova launcher beta on my pixel 6. for some reason when I long press on an app (like maps) the quick launch menu no longer pops up with shortcuts like it used to. I uses to be able to long press and then quickly select home or work on maps, or a playlist on Spotify etc. Is there anything in developers options or something that I can change? Thank you

Pixel Screenshots not downloading models

Is it just my Pixel 9 or everyone who is on Android 16, the pixel screenshots app just doesn't finish downloading the required models.

I'm on the dev beta since day 1 and it still doesn't finish downloading the models

Safety of sideloading latest stable over AP41.240823.009

Hello, everyone! I apologise in advance since this is probably a very noobish question. I stayed in QPR1 Beta 2 to get out of beta as soon as I could, but since I mostly see people asking about QPR1 Beta 3 or 3.1... is it safe too to sideload the update over AP41.240823.009? I'm still getting the "with wipe" update prompt. Thanks in advance!

Notification volume won't stay in solent

Notifications don't stay on silent. The volume will just randomly turn on and go up for no reason.

Happens constantly. Beta Feedback sent in

Any others have same issue?

Android Auto Issue. Can anyone duplicate

Currently having wireless connection issues. While connecting wired, I'm having issues. Submitted feedback but wondering if anyone else can verify/duplicate.

What steps would let us observe this issue?

Using Android Auto, connected over USB

Playing music on Apple Music or listening to Audible

Receiving and declining a call

Playback of audio source ends.

Pressing play does not resume the playback.

Additional comments Disconnect and reconnect USB does not resolve the issue. Closing and reopening the app does not solve the issue. Full restart is necessary to get playback to work. Happens with Apple Music and Audible. Playback is stopped and cannot start even if the app was not open at the time.

Accepting the call does NOT cause the issue, only declining.

YouTube and YouTube Music are NOT impacted, only non native apps.

How do I get to the stable version again?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently on the AP41.240925.009 (I think it is QPR1 beta 3). what do i need to get to the stable version again?

I thought I just need to wait until the release of the QPR1 version but I haven't been able to install it, my pixel 8 keep saying "android beta exit with data wipe".

Beta opt out

Pixel 7 Build: BP11.241025.006

I tried to opt out with no data wipe when Android 15 released. It gave me the update but always gave an error. So I missed the exit opportunity.

When is the best time to opt out of beta to get to stable no data wipe thank you.

QPR Beta 3.1 reboot - wiped, didn't install any update

Heads up folks, don't have whatever PITA has happened to me happen to you - DON'T REBOOT if on QPR1 3.1 currently to be safe!

I had opted out of the Beta, to go to stable December update, didn't download or install the 'Wipe' upgrade (it showed as available, I checked specifically before rebooting - which I do occasionally, an old habit from earlier android days!)

However, it seems to have installed in the background, and the phone booted up completely wiped - so now I have to set up from scratch, a total waste of time!

Not sure whats gone on here, but obviously not idea, and not the intended outcome per google's documentation!

Adjust volume vibrate missing

When I was on stable, it lacked the shirt volume vibrate and I asked someone and he said it's on the beta. Couple of weeks ago, I joined the beta and yes, I had it. Now it's gone(Not completely but way way weaker). I didn't change anything. What should I do?
