  • Google releases Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 update fixing issues and bricking Pixel phones

    Google releases Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 update fixing issues and bricking Pixel phones

    Google's software updates are on a fast track once again! Following the recent Pixel Feature Drop, the company has introduced Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 for eligible Pixel devices, starting from the Pixel 5a and newer models.

    Bug Fixes in Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 Update

    The latest beta version aims to address various issues that users encountered with the initial QPR3 beta release. These fixes include resolving device crashes during specific events such as app updates or user switching, as well as solving problems like displays failing to wake after a reboot, malfunctions in the always-on display feature, and missing battery status information. Moreover, backup and restore processes are expected to function correctly with this update.

    Bricking Concerns with Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2

    Despite the improvements, a significant risk accompanies these fixes. Reports from sources like 9to5Google indicate that sideloading Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 could potentially soft-brick Pixel devices, rendering them unable to boot properly. This issue extends even to Google's upcoming flagship devices, the Pixel 8 Pro and the foldable Pixel Fold.

    While the allure of immediate bug fixes may be tempting, it is advisable to refrain from sideloading the update at this time. Opting for the OTA (over-the-air) update seems to avoid the bricking problem. In case sideloading becomes necessary, AndroidPolice recommends enabling the 'OEM Unlock' option in the device's developer settings as a precautionary measure.

    Given the risks involved, it is advisable to avoid sideloading for now, especially if your Pixel device serves as your primary gadget.
