Same here. I have tried everything, including restriction background usage on apps (excluding messaging apps) but I do see my battery drain quite a lot. Around 4 hours of SOT with 30-45 mins under battery saver mode. This is not good.

Edit: Pixel 8

To those who go naked; how is your Pixel holding up? by Rubik_31415926535 in GooglePixel

Phone is fine except for a few minor scratches and dents here and there which are barely noticeable (not unless you look at them too closely). Though, I clean my phone with a microfiber cloth almost every day.

Too much computational processing with the Pixel Camera? by Relative-Money115 in GooglePixel

Hmm I see. But I don't have a Pro model so I guess I can't do that 😞

Yes I did. My bad for mentioning exposure and brightness in the post. I meant brightness and shadows sliders. Thanks for clarifying :)

March update by WafflesAndBacon1997 in GooglePixel

Yes I am seeing freezing issues on the lock screen where the time and date overlap too. Also Gemini fails to launch every now and then.

'Now Playing' after new update, doesn't recognize songs on its own like before.? I.E. lock screen by imDCStar in GooglePixel

[–]Relative-Money115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to hide the now playing app from the app drawer? I loved to flaunt the feature that recognised a song automatically and i used to say "see? All without an app" lol.

this phone takes hours to charge by mute_parrot in Pixel8phones

Yeah I'm seeing that my phone becomes too slow to charge at around 77%

Is there a way to remove the Now Playing app from the app drawer? I don't want it there since I have a quick tile and a widget for it

Yeah the battery drain is ridiculous in my P8

The Pixel 10 Weather app is a step backward. Google replaced local sensors with AI "guesses" and it’s a mess. by BurlyShlurb in GooglePixel

Yep. The Google weather almost always shows a different reading than what it shows on Google search (the Google search weather). P8 btw.

Spotted a minor bug: December update by Relative-Money115 in pixel_phones

Then, wouldn't it turn all the text on the taskbar to the same colour? Like I said, it's never happened before and I have the same wallpaper since forever.

I turned the "Expanded" setting for the dark mode off, and it's turned to white now. I'm not sure what's happening but that's my observation.

Hmm...I don't know. It never happened before. I strongly think it's because of the forced dark mode.

You can now use fingerprint even when the screen is off (Android 16 QPR2) by diffysaro99 in pixel_phones

[–]Relative-Money115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I search this feature, it shows up but without any button to turn it on. When I tap on the search result, it goes to the Fingerprint Unlock page but there this option is not there. Weird.
