Solve Battery and GPS issues

One of the most annoying issues that has been fixed in this update is the GPS battery usage over-reporting bug. Users have been complaining about their phone battery draining faster than usual even when not using GPS. Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 will help improve this issue, extending battery life. Additionally, the bug related to the device charging limit at 80% has been fixed. Some users were previously unable to turn off this limit, but from now on, this issue will no longer be an obstacle.

Fix errors related to Google Password Manager and Google Maps

The update also brings good news for those using Google Password Manager. A bug that prevented users from managing their passwords has been fixed, making the experience smoother. Additionally, an issue that caused the Google Maps app to crash unexpectedly has been fixed, ensuring seamless navigation without any interruptions.

Improved Bluetooth connectivity and NFC payments

Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 brings a number of improvements to Bluetooth connectivity. If you were previously experiencing intermittent or dropped connections when using Bluetooth, this update should make the connection more stable. NFC-based payments are also improved, with a fix for an issue that caused some payment transactions to fail. Additionally, a random reboot issue on some devices has been resolved.

Other fixes and improvements

According to the update's changelog, other issues that have been fixed include:

- The "Now Playing" feature on the lock screen works more stably.
