With the arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-16-beta-3-3534590\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beta 3<\/a> last month, we started crossing the threshold into Platform Stability territory, but even at this late stage there are still some persistent bugs in need of fixes. We saw Google address some of those with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-16-beta-3-1-3536305\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android 16 Beta 3.1<\/a>, and now we\u2019ve got a fresh crop of bugfixes incoming with Beta 3.2<\/p>\n<p>Just like we saw last time around, there\u2019s not a lot that this release attempts to address, and we\u2019re largely playing cleanup at this point. But even with this very short changelog, <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/about\/versions\/16\/release-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google<\/a> is still managing to tackle some important-sounding bugs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed an issue that caused haptic feedback to be miscalibrated in some cases. (<a href=\"https:\/\/issuetracker.google.com\/issues\/392319999\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Issue #392319999<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/issuetracker.google.com\/issues\/400455826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Issue #400455826<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue that caused excessive battery drain even while a device wasn\u2019t in use. (<a href=\"https:\/\/issuetracker.google.com\/issues\/398329457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Issue #398329457<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue for Pixel 6 and 6 Pro devices that sometimes caused the screen to flicker when taking photos or videos with the camera.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed various other issues that were impacting system stability and usability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Much as we saw Beta 3.1 tackle that newly introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-pixel-phone-brightness-bug-3533289\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Netflix flicker bug<\/a>, it looks like Beta 3.2 is doing something about the recent issues we\u2019ve observed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-vibrates-too-hard-march-update-3532351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">haptic vibrations on Pixel phones<\/a> being all wrong. The other big one here tries to sort out runaway power consumption, which must have proven very frustrating for users experiencing it.<\/p>\n<p>Like before, if you\u2019re already an Android 16 beta tester, there\u2019s nothing for you to worry about needing to do here \u2014 Google\u2019s Android 16 Beta 3.2 will be coming to your Pixel phone as an OTA update. All you have to do is just sit back and wait for that notification to hit your phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
