Key Fixes in Android 15 Beta 2.2
Android 15 Beta 2.2 tackles several issues that have been hindering the functionality and stability of Android devices. One of the most notable fixes addresses the problem where creating a private space on a device could remove app icons from the Home screen. This issue has now been resolved, ensuring that your Home screen stays intact even after setting up a private space.
Another significant fix involves the Wallet role and NFC payments. There was a bug in the previous version that prevented NFC payments from working in some instances due to issues with the Wallet role. Thankfully, this has been fixed, allowing users to make contactless payments reliably. This particular issue was tracked under issue #340933949.
Additionally, the update fixes a problem with the app drawer. Previously, swiping up to open the app drawer sometimes didn’t work, but this glitch has now been ironed out, making app navigation smoother. There was also an issue with NFC observe mode that blocked NFC payments in certain situations which has also been addressed.
Improvements in Video Recording and System Stability
For those who enjoy recording videos, there was a bug that caused videos recorded in 10-bit HDR to have a green tint. This problem has been fixed, ensuring that your videos maintain their intended color and quality.
Beyond these specific fixes, Android 15 Beta 2.2 includes various improvements aimed at enhancing overall system stability, interactivity, and connectivity. These updates contribute to a more seamless and enjoyable user experience across the board.
