Pixel Gets Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 with new USSD protections

Google released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 for Pixel devices (Pixel 6a through Pixel 10 series; Pixel 11 not included yet) via the Android Beta Program or OTA images. The update introduces security safeguards against programmatic call-forwarding fraud: restricting sendUssdRequest() without the CALL_PHONE permission and adding an OS-level confirmation dialog for dialer-initiated USSD actions. Non-call forwarding USSD is unaffected. It also fixes bugs affecting the notification shade/Quick Settings visuals and erroneous battery-capacity warnings in Device Health, with guidance for developers to gracefully handle USSD_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED.
