October 2025 pixel update

🛠 What’s Fixed / Changed

According to Verizon’s release notes and independent reports, the update primarily addresses bugs and stability issues. 

Across most Pixel devices (7 → 10 series):

• Fixed an issue where a semi-transparent background would linger after launching the camera 

• Resolved a System UI crash that happened when starting or stopping casting via the Media Output Switcher 

Device-specific fixes:

Device (or series)	Fix / Change
Pixel 7	Screen flickering and unexpected shutdowns under certain conditions
Pixel 9 & Pixel 10 series	Fix for “flashlight status” not showing in the At a Glance widget
Pixel 10 series	Fixes for frozen or fuzzy display issues
Pixel Tablet	Stability fix under certain conditions

🛡️ Security & Patch Level

• The update includes the October 2025 Pixel Update Bulletin, which bundles both security fixes and functional patches for Pixel devices.

• Interestingly, the Android security patch level in the update remains “September 2025”, because Google’s October 2025 Android Security Bulletin listed no new issues to patch. 

• This means the update is less about new security fixes, and more about addressing existing bugs and quirks.

📱 Who Gets It / Who Doesn’t

• The update is being rolled out to Pixel 7, 8, 9, 10 series, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, etc. 

• The Pixel 6 series is excluded this month — no October update is being made available for them. 

• Build numbers (for example) include BP3A.251005.004.B1 for many devices (Pixel 7–9 etc.) and BD3A.251005.003.W3 for Pixel 10 series.
