Android 13 beta 2.1 starts rolling out to fix some bugs for Pixel owners



What you need to know

  • Google has released Android 13 beta 2.1 for Pixel owners.
  • The update offers a fix for problems with Android Auto, call dialing, and more.
  • Google says that the new software version is now being rolled out to users through an OTA update.

It’s been almost two weeks since Google released Android 13 beta 2, bringing some new changes to the next major version of Android. Along with improvements to the Material U theme and implementation for tablets, this update also opened up the floodgates for OEM partners to jump on board.

Android 13 beta 2 has not been without its fair share of issues when it comes to beta software. Today, Google is releasing a mid-cycle update focusing on four major bugs that are causing problems for users. According to the release notes, the following bugs should be fixed once the update is implemented:

  • Fixed an issue where typing in the search bar resulted in an empty list of suggestions.
  • Fixed an issue where devices would crash and restart when turning on Hotspot.
  • Fixed an issue where a continuous call dialing sound could be heard in the background during a phone call.
  • Fixed the issue of device crashing and restarting after disconnecting from Android Auto.

Since this is a mid-cycle update, you probably won’t get any major new features on your compatible device. Instead, Google states that “The known issues listed for the beta 2 release still apply to beta 2.1.

Some of the bugs Google listed are odd, as you’ll still hear a dialer tone after you’ve answered a phone call. Hopefully, these issues have indeed been fixed, but the team at 9to5Google noticed that even after beta 2.1 was implemented, the empty list of suggestions still shows up. Perhaps we’ll start seeing some updates to various Google apps alongside today’s release.

Other notes provided by Google confirm that this release still uses the May 2022 Android security patch, and carries a build number of TPBB.220414.018. Any other major changes will likely come with Android 13 beta 3, which is expected sometime in June.
