Google lässt Samsung am großen Tag der Galaxy S23-Smartphones nicht alleine und veröffentlicht gleich mal eine ganz frische Testversion für Android 13. Es dürfte die letzte Beta sein, die man für das kommende Quartals-Update (QPR2) rausbringt, welches als Pixel Feature Drop in der Kalenderwoche 10 kommen müsste.
Dass sich Google gerade vorrangig um extrem viele Fehlerbehebungen kümmert, unterstreicht auch der Changelog mit sehr vielen Punkten. Es sind insgesamt 16 Punkte aufgeführt. Beheben konnte man Abstürze einiger Funktionen, GPU-Probleme, Bugs im Pixel Launcher und vieles mehr.
Developer-reported and user-reported issues
- Fixed an issue where notifications in a notification group were sometimes displayed with straight corners instead of rounded corners. (Issue #264287776, Issue #265529116)
- Fixed an issue where the message in the notification shade that indicates an active VPN connection overlapped with the message about apps with active foreground services. (Issue #266075977)
- Fixed an issue where the overflow menu couldn’t be accessed when editing Quick Settings tiles. (Issue #263484657)

Hinweis: Google bietet seit geraumer Zeit ein Betaprogramm für Android an. Darüber können Besitzer aktueller Pixel-Handys die jeweils aktuelle Testversion kabellos und kinderleicht auf ihre Geräte laden. Dennoch sollte man bedenken, dass die Beta nie fehlerfrei ist und für den Alltag nicht unbedingt empfohlen werden kann.
