General May 16, 2023 QPR3 Beta 3.2 T3B3.230413.009 - Global / T3B3.230413.009.A1 Verizon - Pixel 6 Pro [Raven] - [thread also for future Android QPR Betas]

[kevinireland11]

I've just received a notification for a new A13 QPR beta OTA update:

T1B3.221003.003 weighing in at 130mb. I'm in the USA on T-Mobile network using a P6P.

I'll report back. In the end I didn't do a wipe reset after I complained here a couple weeks ago about poor stability. Things just got better. My main problem is that Android Auto stopped working properly and sometimes GPS can't get a lock, but it's been getting a little better.

Is this beta 3 or a late beta 2 for you?

Is this beta 3 or a late beta 2 for you?

A new beta was released today for several devices, it is that one. I honestly thought it was beta 2 but I guess it must be beta 3. As of right now it's newer that the last one discussed in this thread.

Edit - I checked. I was in beta 2 (Oct 5th) and just downloaded beta 3 (Oct 20th at 7:30pm EST).

About Android 13 QPR1​

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 QPR1 builds on the updates in the Android 13 release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.

I don't get it though, what's the difference in these betas and A13 stable? Seems nearly the same to me, and is this beta 3 any more better than current stable?

If I'm not mistaking, it's pretty much a sneak peak into additional features Google is implementing, but they are still working out all the bugs before they proceed. So there may be additional features, but you take the risk of certain things not working 100 percent. That's my thoughts anyway.

That's pretty much it. Sneak peak at features to be included in the next feature drop, but also bug fixes not related to the new features.

Well 1 hour of regular usage and I lost 20% battery, and MMS messengers stopped sending/receiving. Not sure if the latter is the update to the SMS messenger app. Great.

 

[pedro6669]

I'm on T mobile US, 5g, latest beta and I lost 1% over an hour and half while listening to music via BT while driving. My phone's completely stock and unrooted. From what I've seen so far, my phone feels like it did on the last A13 beta before the official A13 dropped and ruined battery life.

 

[kevinireland11]

I think the A13 stable battery has gotten real amazing!! Lasting me into the next day easily, do you think the beta is better or worse?

 

[itch808]

So we have someone saying battery life is even better on QPR beta 3 and someone saying it's worse. ???

 

[kevinireland11]

I just updated the pixel launcher via APK and it's so much more nicer and usable, although once installed my launcher stopped working so you have to wipe cache and data then uninstall all updated and boom works lovlyyyy and being able to search the web from it is awesome!! Going to try install the new battery APK see if it also works

 

[Lughnasadh]

It's pretty much the same for me so far (which is really good).

I might update to it, I'm a sucker for updating I love updates this pixel has came along way since the start, such a reliable phone and pleasing to use, I don't think I'll ever have another Samsung ever, they're just a jittery mess

 

[Forsh]

So we have someone saying battery life is even better on QPR beta 3 and someone saying it's worse. ???

It feels like the inconsistency is very common with phone updates across the board

If it helps anyone - my morning routine is to spend about an hour flicking between emails, news websites, and news videos for about an hour. Normally this uses up 6-7% but today it used up 20%. So over 3x more battery usage than normal. In the 3 hours since then I've used my phone intermittently. I've browsed the internet a bit, send a bunch of messages and emails, and watched a couple videos. In that time it only went down 2%. So maybe it was still optimizing from the update?

 

[kevinireland11]

I think I'm going to retain the stable version, this is my battery for normal use from 100% from 9 this morning to 6:30 at night 73%, nothing intensive but I think it's still good

 

[itch808]

Wow, that's amazing

 

[kevinireland11]

Wow, that's amazing

15 hours and 30 mins, and still have 56% lol, if I was gaming or using the camera I'd probs have about 25% left right now, but still, this battery life is just nutts lol

 

[jTiKey]

Had to revert the beta because the battery life was below 24h

 

[itch808]

Well I just installed QPR beta 3, first night charging I noticed that when I woke up my phone was only at 84%. I checked the battery stats and it looks like it decided to limit charging to 84%. This is interestingly identical to the feature of Samsung where it can limit charging to preserve battery health. Except, I don't see an override with the Pixel. Has anyone else noticed this?
