Google has started rolling out another beta update to Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3.1. This update will be available to all major Google Pixel devices from the Google Pixel 4a or higher. It brings several bug fixes and addresses all the issues reported with the last QPR3 beta 3 a week ago. One of the things it addresses is stability issues (#279246037, #274339025, #279301937), including memory leaks in the system UI, notifications (#273870112)), minor camera bugs that cause the device to crash, and excessive battery drain for some devices.
The update is rolling out via OTA for devices running on Android 13 QPR3 Beta 2 or Beta 3. This update brings a build number T3B3.230413.006/.A1. If you have not upgraded your device to Android 14, then your device will not receive the update. As we mentioned, this update addresses important fixes, including issues with power drain, device SystemUI crashes, and the camera and FI for talkback. Additionally, this includes a fix for the accessibility feature for visually impaired users.
