Google Pixel Devices benefit from timely updates, especially those who are enrolled in the Android 13 Beta Program. The Android 13 Quarterly Platform Release (QPR) 2 Beta 2 was released earlier this month, on January 10th. The update fixed some bugs with the device. The next update was scheduled for the first week of February, however, it has been pushed out by Google earlier than expected.
The 9MB update had two important fixes. One fix was for the bug that was forcing devices to not connect to 5G networks, even if one was available. The second fix was for a bug where devices were unable to drop an existing Bluetooth connection, even an encrypted one, after receiving a command to disable the encryption layer for that connection. The update, with the build number T2B2.221216.008, is available to all compatible Pixel devices that are a part of the Android 13 QPR Beta Program. That includes Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro.
If you are looking to become a part of the Android 13 QPR2 Beta Program, visit this link here and pick your Pixel device from the list. Once you do that and see a button labelled “Opt-in”, tap it and follow the directions. Keep in mind, however, once you sign up for the program, you will have to wipe your phone to exit the Beta program.
Alternatively, you can wait until you install the upcoming stable version of Android 13 QPR2, which should be out on March 6th.
