What GPU version in Pixel 10 (is it still based on ancient Android 16) and Kernel in Pixel 10 and older Pixels

Photos

I couldn't send the images directly, so I've put them in this link.

1, The feedback app crashes when using East Asian languages, but functions normally in English.

2, When using languages ​​such as Korean, Chinese, or Japanese, the date and time displayed in the top-left corner cannot be properly aligned (one is higher than the other), resulting in a rather unsightly appearance.

3, In Pixel Launcher, app names containing East Asian characters (Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) appear slightly lower than those consisting purely of Latin letters, resulting in an uneven, messy look. This is a long-standing bug that I hope gets fixed. Even if a fix isn't possible, I’d at least like to know the reason why.

I hope to receive a response to my question. Thank you.

If anyone notice same issue or if you have solution please Comment down.

Wondering if anyone from Nordic countries that are in the beta are using BankId without trouble?

Date was shown as 0 Jan in the status bar and pull down shade; restart fixed the issue and I believed it was caused by my screensaver because my screensaver broke and became my wallpaper? Idk It was weird Though Screenshot-20260722-122343.png

Hey everyone,

If you use 3-button navigation on your Pixel, you’ve probably noticed an infuriating glitch with the app drawer search: the keyboard constantly fails to pop up when you swipe up to search.

The Exact Trigger:

1. You open any app from your home screen.
2. You go back Home.
3. You immediately swipe up to open the app drawer.
4. Result: The drawer opens, but Gboard fails to gain focus and stays hidden.

Why It Happens: The Pixel Launcher drops its InputMethodManager (keyboard) focus listener during the window lifecycle transition when an app closes under 3-button mode touch insets. Toggling settings or clearing cache only fixes it temporarily until you open/close an app again.

I’ve submitted a formal technical bug report on the Google Issue Tracker so the engineering team can fix the underlying window focus transition.

How You Can Help Get This Fixed: Google prioritizes bug tickets based on community engagement.

Appreciate everyone who takes 5 seconds to star the ticket so we can finally get a fix pushed in an upcoming patch!

Curious if anyone else has run into this. Since updating, wireless AA has stopped passing through sound from phone to car, other than phone calls.

Phone audio is perfect, but Spotify, navigation directions, etc. are all completely absent.

Thoughts?

I can't add any card in my Google wallet my oem is turn off nfc is on all google integrity check ok all 3 I jus install new qpr update recent one and this happening and i ve no apk installed too

Is it just me or does the new contrast and darker colors make the notification or drawer look more dull and worse? Heres an example it just looked better before imo would atleast like the option to revert this

"Important: If you are currently running a Beta version of Android 17 QPR1 (build starting with CP31) and want to exit the beta program without wiping your device, you can opt-out of the Beta program before applying this update and wait for the stable version release of Android 17 QPR1 . If you choose to opt-out after installing this update or any future Beta updates, per usual program guidelines, you will need to factory data reset your device before installing the latest stable Android version until the next exit opportunity in November."

It says "you can opt-out of the Beta program before applying this update". But when I opted out and came back to this screen after restarting, I got a data wipe update for opting out.

Shouldn't the wording be "you can opt-out of the Beta program, DO NOT applying this update and wait for the stable version..."

English is not my first language so I might misunderstood something. :/

Hi everyone, after bet 7 ,I observed a lot. of times that when we scroll notification the date is being shown as Jan 1 lot of times. Today it's shown as Jan 0. After closing and reopening quick settings , it shows correct time

Adding image in comments

So I just got the update to Android 16 anything exciting to look for because it doesn't look like it really did anything. TIA

Since last update, my network is lost a lot of time. Airplane mode is mandatory to give it back. Is anybody have the same issue ? Sometimes 3 or 4 times per hour...

Before 2 days I updated my phone to the latest Android beta

After that it showed me a warning like the battery reduction but I checked it on the battery option It showed me 100% and just 77% battery cycle complete. Is the start of battery health reduced or maybe have any software bug

Also I mentioned last post about it showing wifi as a battery usage high but my wifi is already off how can they use the battery if already off it.

So, I have a Google pixel 9 Pro XL I am in the beta program l, but as of the last update my phone is permanently stuck in landscape mode, but not the individual apps, so if j open YouTube or whatnot the app will go back to portrait, but then I close out the app and I am still stuck in landscape mode.

I have tried:

Restarting my phone twice

Shaking my phone

Powering on and off several times.

What do we think?

I've tried using Gemini to create a shopping list on Google Keep. It Did create the shopping list but was unable to add anything to it. Not sure if this is a problem with the latest beta or not

My first post in the beta community so hi to everyone.

I don't know if this is an issue with the beta or the app itself but recently I've been having quite a few problems with voice to text with Google where it is putting the entirely incorrect word into whatever I am speaking. I mean completely random things such as I could say the word kettle and it would input the word bulldozer. Really random things like this. I have learnt over the years when I use voice to text to speak clearly so that it can more easily understand me. I know Google Voice to Text has not been brilliant over the years but I have found over the last 12 months it has been better until probably the last month or so.

Has anybody else noticed the notable difference?

I have the 9 pro so I don't have access to the Gemini intelligence. But when I was using the built-in live feature, Gemini glitched out completely and overrided volume. So I couldn't even turn it down as it was doing a weird freaky glitching sound and it forced it to Max and even though the phone said it was muted. It's still played on Max volume so I turned off my phone to go back to the lock screen and it overrated it and I was forced to reboot my phone. Has this happened to anyone with the news 17 beta 7

Pixel 9 Pro XL on stable Android 17, July 5th.

After QPR 1 Beta 7 got released I enrolled into the beta program.

But I cannot OTA update to it.

Why is that?

Does anyone know if Google finally updated GPU drivers compatible with Android 17 in QPR1 because when they released Android 17 itself they installed OLD Android 16 compatible drivers.

PowerVR released Android 17 compatible drivers long time ago in May 2026.

Things new in 26.1 drivers compatible with Android 17

​Vulkan Roadmap 2026 Support: It raises the baseline performance for high-end mobile graphics, implementing advanced features like variable rate shading, compute shader derivatives, and shader clock queries.

No More Shader Stuttering (VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library): This is a huge win for mobile gaming. It allows the GPU to compile and link shader stages incrementally. In plain English, it dramatically reduces those annoying, sudden frame-rate drops (stutters) when loading new areas or effects in a game.

On-GPU AI Boost (VK_KHR_shader_bfloat16): This enables the GPU to use the bfloat16 math format, which is heavily used in machine learning. It means on-device AI tasks can run faster and use less power directly on your Pixel’s graphics processor.

Happy Beta testing!

Hello there, sometime ago I left the beta on my Pixel 7a because it was laggy. Then today I wanted to register again, but when I register the Pixel 7a, it shows "registered device" on the update. I press five times and it shows "preparing device update then It retruns to not found any updates found i tried even switching account or testing on my main phone and It does the same stuff says prepering then It retruns to not found updates.

What should i do? (i dont have time to flash the beta via android flash tool.)

Not sure when it's been implemented, but I've just noticed that the apps (at least some of them) are now updating one the fly with the "Updating" spinning circle kind of animation.

This is a quality-of-life upgrade I didn't know I needed, because I was so used to the apps killing themselves to update.

Big up to the Product team!
