Android 16 Beta 3 became available for Pixel users to test last Thursday.
Now Googleās already got an update ready, as Beta 3.1 starts heading out.
This release fixes a handful of bugs, including one that caused the screen to dim during media playback.
When it comes to Googleās work preparing Android 16 for its stable release, we are really starting to get to the end of the road. This yearās development has proceeded on an accelerated timetable, and last week we got what we thought would be our final beta ahead of Platform Stability, with the release of Android 16 Beta 3. It turns out Googleās getting a little more mileage out of these betas yet, as it drops a new point release update.Just as we saw Android 16 Beta 2.1 land late last month with some bug fixes that just couldnāt wait for Beta 3, today Google announces that Android 16 Beta 3.1 is being deployed to testers with more bug fixes still. Google shares the following improvements:
Fixed an issue that caused the system Settings app to crash repeatedly on launch if the system language was set to a language other than English. (Issue #403303683)
Fixed an issue that caused the screen brightness to oscillate between an app-specified brightness setting and the automatic, system-specified or user-specified brightness settings. (Issue #392522561)
Fixed a performance issue that was causing excessive battery drain from high CPU load.
Fixed a performance issue that sometimes caused memory leaks in the system server.
The one that immediately catches our eye there is the second, as we recently reported on a wave of user complaints about unexpected screen dimming with apps like Netflix following the release of Googleās March update for Pixels. Apparently itās an issue with Android 16, as well, because that report Google links to describes the very same behavior. Going forward, at least, Beta 3.1 should nip it in the bud.Everyone already testing Android 16 Beta 3 on their Pixel phones will be getting 3.1 as an OTA update, so thereās really no action needed on your part beyond being on the lookout for that update notification.
