Android 15 QPR1 beta 2 is now available for eligible Google Pixel devices

Google has just rolled out the second beta version of its Android 15 Quarterly Platform Release 1 (QPR1), and it's packed with fixes for a variety of issues that have been bothering Pixel users.

One of the most annoying problems that's been addressed is the over-reporting of GPS battery usage. If you've noticed your battery draining faster than usual, even when you're not using GPS, this update should help. Another fix targets the 80% device charge limit. Some users were unable to disable this feature, but that should no longer be an issue.

If you use Google Password Manager, you'll be happy to know that a bug preventing password management has been squashed. The update also addresses a crashing issue with the Google Maps app, so you can navigate without worry.

As far as connectivity goes, Bluetooth has been improved as well. If you've been experiencing interruptions or dropouts, this update should make things more reliable. NFC-based payments should also be more consistent now, thanks to a fix for a bug that was causing some payments to fail. Additionally, if your phone has been randomly restarting, that issue should also be resolved.

As per the changelog, below are more issues that are addressed with this build:
