They're now like 4 hours old lol. Very weird bug. In fact my partner was messaging me just now and instead of showing me his most recent message, the notification was for 4 hours ago so I almost didn't even go check.
I receive message recently and after i read it and make conversation after some time i receive same message,never happened in past. Weird 😂

About Android 13 QPR2​

Following the stable release of Android 13 to AOSP, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops.
Although these updates don't include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed.
Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use. However, please review any known issues that are listed on this page.
Android 13 QPR2 builds on the updates in Android 13 QPR1 and the Android 13 initial release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.

How to get QPR2 Beta 3​

You can install Android 13 QPR2 Beta 3 on any of the following Google Pixel devices:

See Get Android 13 QPR beta builds for details on how to get started.

General advisories​

Be aware of these general advisories about the release:

    Before creating your own issue, check the known issues listed on this page and search the lists of top open issues and recently created issues to see if someone else has already reported it. You can subscribe and vote for an issue by clicking star this issue .

Free p7/p7p Google VPN is still broken. This is why iPhone users that tries Android keeps returning back to ios. Nothing ever gets fixed on time.
No problems with my stock version. That´s why there are Beta testing. People have to expect and accept small problems and bugs when on Beta. Can´t accuse Google of not warning anybody. The bugs are gone when the stable version gets released.

    the colours on the adaptive display setting on this beta are disgusting.
    it's so dark. I was watching a dark YouTube video and I couldn't see anything, it just looked black. when I switch to natural the entire thing lit up and looks 100% better.
    I'm bummed that they changed the adaptive display setting so drastically. honestly it looks broken, like none of these colours are correct at all and it's way too dark. hopefully it gets fixed soon...

    Mine is the opposite. Mine is actually brighter in adaptive and clearer. I also have it on high resolution too. 1440p and this latest beta brightened everything up and made it look crisper and cleaner. Weird that the update is affecting people differently. Are you running any mods that affect display? I do have a few that are display based. Repainter is one and I use automatic dark mode. Just curious.

    no I don't have any mods at all, all stock.
    I've got high refresh and resolution as well.
    it honestly looks so bad it has to be a bug. it looks like some high contrast accessibility setting or something.
    I've had to switch to natural and on natural in my opinion all the colours look super washed out. I was really happy with the display settings before this beta now it's really awful.
    this weekend I may go back to the main release, I just can't be stuffed wiping the phone lol

    Try resetting the adaptive brightness. Clear Device Health services storage. When you get there click manage and reset adaptive brightness. That may help.

    For anyone who doesn't notice Google's official announcement in those above, and what to do if you're on the QPR2 Beta 3.x and want to be on stable:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/11nz32q
    Hi Beta users,

    With the release of our final Android 13 QPR2 Beta update a few weeks ago, we are now preparing for our next Beta Program cycle that covers our Android 13 June release (QPR3). Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 will kick off the week of March 13th. If you take no action and remain enrolled in the Beta Program, you will automatically receive Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 starting next week.

    We are changing our beta release process - to receive the upcoming March QPR2 public stable release, devices currently enrolled in Beta will need to first opt out of the program. Devices that remain enrolled in the Beta Program will receive Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1.

    If you prefer to exit the Beta Program and receive the final public March QPR2 update without the need to wipe your data, please do one of the following:

    • Opt out of the program before March 13th, ignore/don’t apply the downgrade OTA update, and wait for the final public stable release of the March Feature Drop (QPR2) releasing this month. Opting out will not cause a data wipe as long as you don’t apply the downgrade OTA. Note: If you want to immediately return to the latest public version, you can apply the downgrade OTA which will require a data wipe per usual program guidelines.
    • If you receive the Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 update, don’t install the update. Instead, first opt out of the program, ignore/don’t apply the downgrade OTA update, and wait for the official March public release. Note: If you opt-out of the program after installing the QPR3 beta 1 update, all user data on the device will get wiped per usual program guidelines.
    We will continue to post updates and information on the upcoming Android 13 QPR3 Beta here in this community.

    About Android 13 QPR3​

    Following the stable release of Android 13 to AOSP, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops.
    Although these updates don't include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed.
    Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use. However, please review any known issues that are listed on this page.
    Android 13 QPR3 builds on the updates in Android 13 QPR2 and the initial Android 13 release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.

    How to get QPR3 Beta 1​

    You can install Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 on any of the following Google Pixel devices:
    • Pixel 4a and 4a (5G)
    • Pixel 5 and 5a
    • Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
    • Pixel 6a
    • Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
    See Get Android 13 QPR beta builds for details on how to get started.

    General advisories​

    Be aware of these general advisories about the release:
    • This release might have various stability, battery, or performance issues.
    • For users with accessibility needs, this release might not be appropriate for daily use.
    • Some apps might not function as expected when running on this release. This limitation includes Google's apps as well as other apps.
    • Android 13 QPR beta builds aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)‑approved, but they have passed preliminary testing and provide a stable set of pre-release APIs for developers. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds or use SafetyNet APIs might not work normally on Android 13 QPR beta builds.

    Get support​

    Two primary support channels are available to you when developing and testing with Android 13 QPR3. The channel you should use to get support depends on where you are encountering your issue.

      Before creating your own issue, check the known issues listed on this page and search the lists of top open issues and recently created issues to see if someone else has already reported it. You can subscribe and vote for an issue by clicking star this issue .

    I don't plan on testing Betas of any sort, but feel free to use this thread for everything about the QPR Betas or major Android version betas for the Pixel 7 Pro. I'll update the information in the OP when necessary. See Post #2 in my main thread for general information (Unlocking Bootloader / Rooting / Updating | SafetyNet working again | ADB/Fastboot & Windows USB Drivers) but ask questions or make observations about all betas in this thread, please.

    Once a QPR or major Android version goes final, I'll take those discussions to my main thread.

    The Beta also introduces support for some new carriers, some of which are the first ones for some countries (Portugal, Lithuania, Finland, Estonia), this means 5G working out of the box aswell as proper LTE Aggregation combinations (VoLTE depends on another configuration so that could take some time):
