Fixed an issue that could cause the screen on some devices to flash green when toggled if the phone was in a high temperature environment.

Install Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3

Below, we have links to the factory image and OTA files to get folks updated the old school way, but you don’t need to go that route to get updated. You can always enroll in the Android Beta Program (here) and get the update over-the-air that way. For those who would rather avoid a command prompt and adb commands, do that. Google should begin pushing the update through the Android Beta Program shortly.

Get after it.
