Google rolls out Android 17 beta 4.1 to Pixel devices
Google just rolled out Android 17 Beta 4.1 (a minor update ahead of the stable launch) for Pixel devices.
It's a small but important patch, bringing the May 2026 security update and fixing some annoying bugs.
If you've got a Pixel 6, 7, or other eligible device, you'll see new build numbers depending on your model.
Fixes connectivity, audio and display issues
This update tackles issues like signal bars showing zero even when connected, mobile data icon staying on in airplane mode, external displays going black at high resolutions, Bluetooth playback dropping after interruptions, and hearing aids unpairing after being inactive or charged.
If you're already in the Android Beta for Pixel program, the OTA update should land soon, or, if you're on Beta 4, you can sideload it.
Google had said Beta 4 was the last scheduled beta of this release cycle, but this quick fix helps smooth things out before Android 17 goes official.
