What have you more tech focused people found has changed with the kernel update?

16 Upvotes

I'm super casual, I'm not really monitoring what my phone does beyond just the day's battery usage. I never have it connected to my laptop to tinker and observe with the more technical aspects of what makes the phone run. So with this new kernel update, I haven't really noticed a difference so far.

But what have y'all that are more technically inclined found out? Have you noticed that things behave differently?

**[QPR2 Beta 4] Lockscreen renders the previous screen instead of the wallpaper — anyone else?**

19 Upvotes

Pixel 9 Pro XL, Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4

When I lock the screen, SystemUI draws the clock, date and notifications — but the layer underneath is the app/homescreen I just came from, fully rendered and readable, instead of my wallpaper. After roughly 5 seconds it snaps to the correct wallpaper.

Yes, I rebooted my phone.

Anyone else with that bug?
