What you need to know
Google today released Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2 for testers enrolled in the Android Beta Program.
The update includes bug fixes and improvements, as well as an early look at a few work-in-progress features.
Notably, the Linux Terminal app can be opened after upgrading to Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2.
As announced in a Reddit post on the official Android Beta Program subreddit, the update is rolling out to devices such as the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, Pixel 8, Pixel 9, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet. Users can expect to see the update appear over the next 24 hours, with the option to manually check for updates through Settings > System > System updates.
The build number for this beta release is BP11.241121.010, with update sizes varying from several megabytes to a few gigabytes, depending on the device model. Among the notable bug fixes included in this update are:
Resolved an issue that prevented access to the “ANGLE preferences” option in developer settings.
Fixed connectivity problems with certain glucose sensor devices.
Addressed delays experienced when selecting options to place calls.
Enabled the “Limit to 80%” option in charging optimization settings.
Corrected null pointer issues that could lead to unexpected crashes or restarts.
Fixed responsiveness issues with the Pixel Fold while unfolded.
Improved audio behavior during transitions between ASHA and LE Audio.
Resolved Bluetooth connection failures post-reboot due to security level saving errors.
Ensured LE links remain encrypted upon reconnection with bonded devices.
Fixed issues causing Bluetooth HAL crashes when LE audio hardware offload is disabled.
Among the exciting features now functional in this beta version is the Linux Terminal app, which allows users to download, configure, and run instances of Linux via the Android Virtualization Framework. Previously, this app was non-operational in the earlier beta release, but it now showcases its capabilities effectively.
Additionally, features like notification cooldowns, initially anticipated for Android 16, have made their debut in this update, further enhancing the user experience.
For those eager to provide feedback on their experience with the new beta, comments can be submitted through the Android Beta Feedback app or shared on the official Android Beta Program subreddit.
