Other resolved issues

Google says you might encounter issues with Beta 3. For example, on Pixel 8/8a devices running QPR2 Beta 3 and booted in 16 KB mode, the touchscreen does not work. Google's advice is to continue using a device running Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2.1 until a fix is available, or opt for a stable build of Android 15 QPR1 instead.
Android Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) are incremental updates to the Android operating system that Google releases quarterly after a major Android version is launched. Android 15 was officially released in October 2024 and included features like Private Space, Theft Detection Lock, and more.
