Google started a new tradition this year with Android versions: two weeks after each beta, it released a patch with bug fixes. So after Android 12 Beta 3 we have Android 12 beta 3.1, with some bugfixes for Google Pixels.
This is one of the smaller updates: takes less than 3MB and fixes three bugs present in the previous beta. For deeper changes, we’ll have to wait for Android 12 Beta 4, the latest beta, sometime in August according to Google’s calendar.
Three fixes for Android 12
Previous beta versions with Android 12 fixes were already small spots, but Beta 3.1 takes the cake: the download takes less than 1MB on a Google Pixel 4a and just under 3MB on a Google Pixel 5.
As always you can download Android 12 Beta 3.1 directly from the mobile itself. If you have a Pixel with Android 12 Beta, you can force the OTA update from Settings> System> System update> Check for updates.
This time they are resolved exactly three problemsWhich doesn’t mean that Android 12 Beta 3 is bug-free: the list of known bugs is a bit long. Here are the three fixes included in Android 12 Beta 3.1:
-
Fixed an issue that caused some devices to crash during a boot cycle after restarting the device
-
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the system UI to crash
-
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Android low memory killer daemon (lmkd) will kill processes excessively
The next update to Android 12 Beta will be in August, with the launch of the fourth and last beta. After that will come one or more candidate versions and, later, the final version.
