Unlike Developer Previews and Beta (s) for unreleased versions of Android, QPR builds are suitable for general use. However, please review any known issues that are listed on this page. This new third Beta of QPR3 includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.

Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3 – What’s New

  • Fixed issues that could cause Wi-Fi calling to stop working.
  • Fixed an issue that could sometimes cause the system to get stuck on the home screen with no app icons and either the normal background or a blank, black background.
  • Fixed an issue where the system UI crashed when trying to access the Wallpaper & style screen both in the system settings app or by long-pressing from the home screen.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the screen on some devices to flash green when toggled if the phone was in a high temperature environment.
  • Fixed an issue where the camera displayed a black screen if the user tried to open the camera by pressing the power button twice.
  • Fixed an issue where in some cases when a work profile is switched on or off, the device rebooted instead.
