Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2.1 Launches with Bug Fixes on KP INSIDER
Today marks the release of Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2.1, an eagerly anticipated update for Android users. This release comes just two weeks after the previous update, and it brings a host of bug fixes and improvements.
However, there is one important detail to note: the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will not receive the update immediately. Google has announced that these devices will receive the update at a later time, without specifying the exact date.
For those fortunate enough to have access to the update, the Pixel devices will see several notable improvements. First and foremost, the update includes three fixes and the October 2023 security patch.
One of the fixes addresses issues with biometric authentication, specifically those related to the under-display fingerprint sensor. Users had encountered problems with the sensor not activating when the always-on display feature was enabled. This fix aims to resolve these concerns and provide a smoother user experience.
Additionally, another significant fix tackles a problem with cellular service connectivity after swapping SIM cards. Previously, users were left frustrated when their devices could not connect to the network after changing their SIM cards. With this update, such issues should become a thing of the past.
Furthermore, the update also addresses various system stability and performance issues. Users can expect their devices to run more smoothly and reliably following this latest installment.
Those eager to get their hands on the update will be pleased to know that OTA (over-the-air) and factory images are now available. The on-device OTA is rolling out immediately, making it highly convenient for users to install the update.
It’s worth noting that the update’s size may vary depending on the device. The Pixel Fold requires a 66MB download, while the 7 Pro’s update is a more manageable 7MB.
While the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro users will need to wait a little longer for this update, the improvements and fixes included in Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2.1 are certainly welcome news for the wider Android community. Stay tuned for further updates on KP INSIDER as we keep you informed on the latest developments in the tech world.
