List of known issues in Android 15 Developer Preview 1.
❗️❗️❗️ An issue with sideloading the Developer Preview 1 OTA build can sometimes cause the device to show a "Device is corrupted" message after sideloading is completed (the device will not be able to boot into the system). To work around this issue, Google recommend that developers flash a factory image to test devices whenever possible instead of sideloading an OTA system image.
• While adding a face model for Face Unlock, the preview screen appears to be trimmed or cropped.
• When an app window is transitioning to picture-in-picture (PiP) mode, the PiP window disappears if the device is rotated before the PiP transition finishes.
• When a locked SIM card is inserted into an unlocked device, the user is not prompted to enter the PIN to unlock the SIM card. To work around this issue, lock and unlock the device manually.
Apps
• The Google Play Store sometimes crashes with a null pointer exception when trying to update apps.
• The Google TV app sometimes fails to initiate video playback and instead displays a "Play Movies & TV is temporarily unavailable" message.

Android 15 DP1: New 'Notification cooldown' feature
Under Settings / Notifications at the very bottom there is a new item "Notification cooldown". This option will gradually lower the volume when you receive many successive notifications from the same app.
Also, you can choose whether to lower the volume of all notifications or only from conversations, or not to lower the volume at all.
This preparation of this feature was first spotted in Android 14 QPR2 beta by Mishal Rahman on Android Police.

Android 15 DP1: New option for developers to "Show HDR/SDR ratio".
Android 13 added support for SDR-dimming — Reducing the brightness of SDR content on the screen while showing HDR content at the same time. That is, when HDR content appears on the screen, the screen brightness is increased to accommodate the luminance range range of the HDR content. At the same time, any SDR content that is also displayed on the screen is smoothly dimmed when the screen brightness is increased, so that the perceived brightness of the SDR content does not change.
In Android 15 DP1, a new "Show HDR/SDR ratio" toggle has been added to the Settings / System / Developers options. When you turn it on, the ratio indicator will appear on the top right, which has a value of 1.00 when there is no HDR content on the screen, 4.99 when viewing UHDR photos in Google Photos or Files, and 7.99 when watching HDR videos in YouTube.
*SDR - Standard Dynamic Range
*HDR - High Dynamic Range

Google prepares 'Satellite SOS' emergency feature for Pixel devices.
The recent update to the 'Adaptive Connectivity Services' app version p.2024.08 makes preparations for the new 'Satellite SOS' emergency feature. It will allow you to messages emergency services and let them know your location when you are unable to connect to a mobile network or Wi-Fi.
The settings page, located at Settings / Safety & Emergency / Satellite SOS, includes a description of how the feature works, the ability to customize the info that will be shared with the emergency services, and a link to purchase Garmin Search & Rescue insurance. The page also has a link to a support page with a list of supported countries, which is not working yet.
While the description clearly refers to "your Pixel", it's unclear which devices will be supported. Additionally, the latest update to Google Messages adds a new SATELLITE_COMMUNICATION permission. Awhile ago Neïl Rahmouni showed a UI for conversations and SOS messages using satellite connection in Google Messages app.

Heads up: Users are reporting that the Google Messages app won't let them send or receive RCS messages if the OS is rooted or hasn't passed GMS certification (like most custom ROMs).
It seems that Google Messages has implemented Play Integrity API attestation checks, so be aware if you root your device or install a custom ROM, you may lose access to RCS in Google Messages.
More discussion here.
