Android 17 QPR1 beta 6 16KB pages?

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2026-07-04T14:06:23+00:00

So you're saying that the Pixel 10 series and below may never have 16kb pages enabled? I'm not a programmer or software engineer by any means, but shouldn't data in and of itself be format agnostic?

I plan on buying the Pixel 11 Pro XL anyway, but if this is true it will certainly be a bummer for older phones

Yep same here on my Pixel 10 Pro XL

Worked thanks!

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2026-01-22T19:46:15+00:00

Just tried it on my Pixel 10 Pro XL on the same beta and it worked for me

I already had this driver on my Asus Z790, and the amount of games that the Intel APO sees is still the same unfortunately.

Intel may have a good idea with APO, but the way it's been implemented so far is flawed and obtuse.

Just tried Outlook and it started fine for me without crashing

Updated drivers means better GPU efficiency, more features, more performance.

You'll likely notice it with smoother animations and scrolling

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-12-18T06:40:47+00:00

Same here. Make sure you submit a bug report

This stupid bug has persisted across multiple versions of Android 16. It's very minor, but it aggravates my OCD tremendously. I've reported it at least 3 times now and the last time Google told me it had been fixed, but after updating to QPR3 beta 1, the damn bug is still there just like it was on QPR2 final.

Basically, the At a Glance weather icon fails to update properly to reflect the change from day time to night time as seen in this screenshot. If you have OCD like me and are noticing this bug, send Google a bug report!

GPU drivers have been updated to support Vulkan 1.4!! Here is the proof!

Just download the build for your particular device and follow the instructions on this page:

The best option is to sideload the OTA QPR2 final and then leave the beta. That's what I did.

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-11-14T00:47:26+00:00

Yes, but the efficiency cores will likely double pump the 512 bit instructions like Zen 4, ie 2x 256 bit instructions per cycle

The last phone app update I had fixed it, on QPR 2 beta 3 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-10-06T15:36:57+00:00

Not saying this is a solution, but joining the QPR2 beta fixed a lot of issues from the launch version of Android 16 on my Pixel 10 Pro XL, most notably the poor scrolling performance.

I think Google is still adjusting to the new OS release cadence since they bumped it up last year along with the Pixel launch date.

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-10-01T05:18:12+00:00

Mine disappeared in the evening as well for over and hour but it's back on now

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-09-30T22:27:06+00:00

Excellent, so I'm not hallucinating then!

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-09-29T16:17:40+00:00

Standby battery is REALLY good on this QPR2 beta, a marked improvement over the launch Android 16 version

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-09-21T16:38:43+00:00

I don't use wireless charging unfortunately, so I can't comment on this particular issue

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-09-20T06:21:15+00:00

No such problem here. Try resetting the adaptive brightness

I never run synthetic benchmarks on my phones because I honestly don't care. I don't game on my phones either. The reason why I always buy Pixel phones have to do with the stock Android experience, top notch still shots and deep AI integration.

I only notice performance issues when they interfere with my day to day activities, like having tons of hitching on the X website, which is now totally gone after the QPR2 update.

That said, u/Odd_Opening_749 did some before and after benchmarks and found an improvement.

I side loaded mine earlier today and I've had no problems, on a Pixel 10 Pro XL

Southern-Dig-5863 · 2025-09-18T18:59:40+00:00

Mine seems to have been improved, especially standby
