Google releases Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.2 update with bug fixes and stability improvements
Google has just dropped the next beta update for Android 14, QPR3 Beta 2.2, a minor update with improvements to both performance and stability. Those already participating in the Android 14 Beta Program can expect an over-the-air (OTA) update to roll out automatically within the next few days.
One of the key fixes addresses a frustrating issue where mobile data connections would sometimes drop, even with a strong signal. Google's release notes also detail various other tweaks that enhance overall system stability and connectivity, as well as the May 2024 security patch and version 24.06.16 of Google Play Services. Here is what is included in the changelog:
The final stable QPR3 release is slated to be released next month, making this release another minor update for those that opted back in April to remain part of the Android 14 betas rather than try out Android 15. This update is yet another refinement to the Android experience for Pixel users, as Google continues to test and develop new features that we get to try out as part of the beta program.
