We have a new beta of Android 13. After launching the QPR2 Beta 2 version last week with its new Emojis, among other new features, Google is now launching Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1 to fix some of the bugs caused in the previous update.
As the number of this version already indicates, this is a minor version only dedicated to fixing errors, so we are not going to find any more news. For upcoming news and improvements, we’ll have to wait a few weeks for the launch of Android 13 QPR2 Beta 3. In the meantime, we’ll see what “news” it brings. Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1.
Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1, news
in version Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1 Released today, January 20, with build number T2B2.221216.008, security patch January 2023, and Google Play Services version 22.41.13, we find the following fixes in its release notes:
- Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented devices from automatically connecting to a 5G network even when it was available.
- Fixed an issue where devices would not disconnect or reset an existing encrypted Bluetooth connection after receiving a command to disable link layer encryption for that connection.
As one can see, Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1 fixes two issues with Google Pixel connectivity, fixing errors that prevented devices from automatically connecting to the redes 5G or that the Bluetooth will not work properly on encrypted connections. These are two serious errors that took Google just over a week to fix and release the update.
The upgrade to Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2.1 is already available in Pixel 4a, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6a and Pixel 7 who are enrolled in the Android Beta program. The update download is forced from Settings > System > System Update.
Next February the launch of Android 13 QPR2 Beta 3 is expected, the latest beta of the next quarterly Android 13 update, which will arrive as Pixel feature drop during the month of March, adding more news and features exclusive to the Google Pixel.
