Google has delivered a minor but important update. This update is Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3.2. It is currently rolling out to Pixel devices. This release targets a specific and irritating bug.
The bug prevents users from personalising a key visual element on their phones. The quick patch ensures that the development process for Android 16 remains on track. It addresses a critical feedback from the testing community.
Android 16 QPR2 Beta 3.2
The main focus of the 3.2 release centres on restoring lock screen customisation. Users who had installed the previous Beta 3.1 found themselves locked out of the options for their clock’s appearance.
Users could not choose and switch between different clock styles. This happens within the “Wallpaper & Style” settings. It appears to be completely broken for some users.
That’s a fancy way of saying testers were stuck with the boring, basic clock. This means their phone will not look the way they want it to.
But with this newest update, that is gone. All the clock options are working again. This means people can finally pick the style that suits their phone and their taste. It gives them full control over how the front of their phone looks.
Though the fix is a small one, it’s crucial for the overall user experience and performance of the beta software. The inability to customise the clock was a significant usability issue that needed a rapid response.
This problem has been solved, but the updated version numbers for this patch are a little bit different across the supported hardware. It is expected that Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a users will receive version BP41.250916.012.
Meanwhile, users with the Pixel 7 and all newer models, including the Pixel tablets, will be installing BP41.250916.012.A1. The reason for this slight difference is to enable a stable fix across all generations of Pixel processors and hardware.
Remaining Issues
Although the lock screen issue has been fixed, some problems still persist. Feedback from the testing community shows that Beta 3.2 hasn’t addressed all of the known bugs.
Notably, owners of the cutting-edge Pixel 10 Pro XL are still dealing with a recurring speaker icon issue. This audio-related display bug continues to persist even after installing the newest beta build.
This suggests that a more substantial code change may be required in a future patch. It is expected that Google tackles these issues before the final public release of Android 16 QPR2.
