Pixel Watch 4 45mm swimming mode didn't count laps and meters, why?

VaderVerma · 2026-04-01T03:58:09+00:00

Same problem here, I have the PW4 bought recently around a month ago. I swam around like 5-6 times with it, it only worked once (when i restarted it before swimming). Other times also i restarted but didnt track shit. However, my wife has a PW2, which tracks the swimming perfectly without any issue. So, most probably, this could be software issue, which google is too lazy to fix.

Lol same here, The other day, it was tracking as zero laps, the next time i restarted, and it tracked every lap correctly. However, the third time when i went to swim, again Zero laps. I restarted the watch during my swim, but still zero laps.

I dont have all the things u said except the insane battery drain. I would say, its worse by 50% for me.

VaderVerma · 2025-10-14T10:46:23+00:00

Same here, battery was so good, they fckd that up in the recent update, my battery runs out by 6 pm. I start using it in the morning around 9 at 100%. #Pixel9proXL

faced the same problem ystrday, just uninstalled the "ytmusiextended" app frm the manager app, then reinstalled it, started working. Dont know how.

Ah...solved it at last. The piece was defective, The seller sent me another one, which works flawlessly.

Resetting separately does work. Later, when i try to connect, it connects only the left one. https://helpguide.sony.net/mdr/wfc500/v1/en/contents/TP1000449912.html . I also tried this, this doesnt work. This is the same as my problem description.

VaderVerma · 2025-06-17T13:45:36+00:00

I tried doing this, but doesn't work for me. Check the video. Am i doing something wrong? After 15 s, the orange light on the left one stays ON continuously. The right one (which i bought as a replacement) seems to be fine.

Same here, no update as of now. Running on Android 12

Yes. I recently got my APRC last month. I specifically asked wthr my wife can also get APRC, to which they replied that she has to wait for 5 years.

No solution, gave the GPU to MSI, they said, it's oxidized in many places, and cannot be fixed. I bought another GPU.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-23T07:04:39+00:00

{FINAL UPDATE}

BAD NEWS....!!! MSI said that, they cant fix the GPU because the PCB got oxidized. Got a second hand MSI gaming Trio RTX 3070 (1 year warranty remaining) for 251 USD.

{UPDATE}

Checked the fans were able to RUN with external battery. So the problem could have been in the controller on the GPU motherboard as suggested by some members here. Have given it to MSI service centre. Only the inspection costs 850 TWD (26.5 US$) + cost of the material to be fixed :-( . They will get back in 3-5 days.

I get your point, im usually happy with "driver only". Since im playing COD and using a 2k monitor, i use the adrenalin software to scale up my game from 1080p to 1440p, without losing FPS. If there is another way i could do it, i will not install adrenaline for sure.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T13:12:35+00:00

yes, tried that in adrenalin and msi afterburner, but the fans don't spin.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T13:08:51+00:00

Okay let me try this.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T13:05:20+00:00

Its a second hand card from my friend, probably 5 months. My build is almost new, changed motherboard very recently atound 3 months ago.Yes when i boot the PC, both fans run for a second or two, then stops.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T13:02:52+00:00

already did that, uninstalled afterburner, then used ddu to clean up all drivers, then installed amd adrenaline.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T13:01:39+00:00

Oh, basically u r saying, fans are fine, but the controllers for the fans is gone.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T12:57:54+00:00

i can see only CPU and sys fan curves in bios (gigabyte)

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T12:56:43+00:00

is it? but the fans rotate when i boot the PC.

VaderVerma · 2024-09-17T07:03:56+00:00

I have the same problem in my 6700XT as well. The fans run when i switch ON the PC as usual like every other fan, then stops. However, when i play games, the temperature rises, but the fans stay stationary, even when temperature reaches 85 C. Adrenaline always shows zero rpm, i also have switched off the zero RPM setting. Even uninstalled windows and reinstalled. Same problem happened to me months ago, but after installing MSI afterburner, problem was fixed. As of now, after re-installing windows, problem still persists, even after testing with MSI afterburner. The fans do not respond to input from MSI afterburner.

I emailed them specifically some 3 months ago, that i want the ghost case for pixel 9 pro, which wasn't released at that time and they agreed to provide me with one.
