Earlier this month, Google released the December Pixel Drop, which brings new features and fixes. Something else that promises new features and fixes is the Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2 update. Google has started releasing the second beta today.

Google has officially announced the rollout of Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2 (BP11.241121.010). In case you didn’t know, QPR stands for Quarterly Platform Release; think of it essentially as a way to try out Pixel Feature Drop updates before they’re available to the general public.

If you have a Pixel 6 and up, a Pixel Fold, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, or Pixel Tablet, you’re device will be compatible with the update. Before you start installing, however, the tech giant warns in the release notes:

• 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 15 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 15 QPR beta builds.

This latest update offers 10 fixes in total.

Developer- and user-reported issues

• Fixed an issue that prevented the “ANGLE preferences” option from being accessed in developer options. (Issue #379196574)
• Fixed an issue that prevented some glucose sensor devices from connecting. (Issue #378816128)
• Fixed issues that caused a long delay while selecting options to place a call. (Issue #379266329, Issue #378854091)
• Fixed an issue that prevented the “Limit to 80%” option in charging optimization settings from being enabled. (Issue #378800194)
• Fixed null pointer issues that could cause devices to unexpectedly crash or restart. (Issue #378856187, Issue #381894854)
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Pixel Fold devices to stop responding while unfolded. (Issue #379387626)

Bluetooth resolved issues

• Fixed a bug of inconsistent behavior during switch from ASHA to LE Audio and back, ensuring the audio always pauses when switching.
• Fixed a bug that causes L2CAP connection failure with error reason code 3 after a phone reboot due to incorrect security level saving during pairing, leading to a security check failure on Bluetooth reset.
• Fixed a bug that allowed LE links to remain unencrypted on reconnection with bonded devices, potentially exposing sensitive data to attackers.
• Fixing a bug of Bluetooth HAL crashes or gets stuck when Bluetooth LE audio hardware offload is disabled.

As for changes and additions, this update takes “Themed icons” out of beta (h/t: 9to5Google). It also introduces “Notification cooldown,” which temporarily lowers the device’s volume and minimizes alerts if you get too many notifications in a short period.
