Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2: What is new

Notification Cooldown

In the Android 16 Developer Preview 1, Google gave a sneak peek at the new Notification Cooldown feature. When several alerts are received quickly after one another, the new feature lowers the volume and frequency of messages for up to two minutes. Calls, alerts, and priority chats, however, are unaffected.

Google has listed the following user-reported issues that have been resolved in the latest QPR2 beta 2 update:

• Fixed an issue that prevented the “ANGLE preferences” option from being accessed in developer options
• Fixed an issue that prevented some glucose sensor devices from connecting
• Fixed issues that caused a long delay when selecting options to place a call
• Fixed an issue that prevented the “Limit to 80%” option in charging optimisation settings from being enabled
• Fixed null pointer issues that could cause devices to unexpectedly crash or restart
• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Pixel Fold devices to stop responding while unfolded
• Additionally, Google has resolved several Bluetooth-related issues that were affecting the use of Bluetooth LE Audio on Pixel devices.
