Google Addresses Android 13 Beta Issues with New Update
Google has recently released a new update for its Android 13 Beta program, which aims to fix several issues that users have been getting on their devices. The new update comes with the June 2022 security patch and went live on June 27.
More specifically, android Beta 13.3 comes with version number TPB3.220617.002 and addresses stability and performance issues, which include the following:
- Fixed an issue with the Pixel launcher where if the Always show keyboard option was enabled for the app drawer, then when the user closed the app drawer and opened an app folder on the Home screen, the keyboard was erroneously shown as well.
- Fixed an issue where in some cases, such as gesturing to go back, the system UI crashed.
- Fixed an issue where devices couldn’t connect to a WiFi network in some cases even when the network was available and the signal strength was good.
- Fixed an issue where the BluetoothManagerService continued to try and bind to the TbsService even when bluetooth.profile.ccp.server.enabled was false, leading to slow performance and cold starts for apps.
- Fixed an issue where in some cases after a device was plugged in to charge (for example, overnight), the device would become unresponsive until it was rebooted.
- Fixed a kernel issue with lib/list_debug.c that caused a kernel panic in certain cases on some devices.
- Fixed an issue with the Connectivity Thermal Power Manager that caused slow UI rendering, unresponsiveness in apps, and poor battery performance in some cases.
Users running the developer preview or beta build on their phones should receive the update via an OTA download.
