Hi Beta users,

Today we’re sending you an Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 build CP41.260731.005.A2  for Pixel 6a Pixel 7/Pro/7a Pixel Fold Pixel Tablet and CP41.260731.005.B1 for all other devices.

Top issues fixed include:

• Opening the notification shade and Quick Settings menu caused visual corruption and an unexpected device restart. (Issue #535249652, Issue #543124160)
• The Device Health and Support tool erroneously displayed false battery capacity degradation warnings to users. (Issue #535421490, Issue #538943170, Issue #535504630)

Hardening against call forwarding fraud

Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 introduces new security restrictions on programmatic call forwarding to protect users from fraud. The system now parses and selectively restricts call-forwarding USSD codes (such as *21*) executed via the TelephonyManager.sendUssdRequest() API. 

• API Restriction: The sendUssdRequest() API is no longer accessible for call-forwarding codes using only the CALL_PHONE permission. Standard apps attempting to execute these codes in the background will be blocked and receive a USSD_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED callback.
• System Confirmation: To combat social engineering scams, users manually dialing call-forwarding codes in the system dialer will now see a new OS-level confirmation dialog before the command is executed.
• Non-Call Forwarding USSD: Non-call forwarding enabling USSD requests (such as mobile money transfers and account checks) are unaffected by this change. 
• Mitigation: If your app is affected, verify that it handles the USSD_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED failure callback gracefully. For apps requiring call-forwarding setup that do not qualify for an exempted role, migrate your flow to use the ACTION_DIAL intent to pre-fill the dialer, allowing the user to manually confirm the action.

Please review the latest release notes for limitations and general advisories before installing the update. In addition, see top open issues for the latest list of top open issues that have been reported by developers and users.
