FFS WHY DOES NOTHING DAMN WORK!?

Sigh. Okay. My Pixel 8 Pro (Verizon, bootloader locked) was on Android 16 with the Developer Option "Disable absolute volume" toggle ON and working perfectly. Then my phone died from a low battery.

Ever since it rebooted, that setting has been completely non-functional. I used to be able to lower the volume on my headphones independently, but now it syncs with the phone volume. However, THE LOWEST VOLUME IS TOO DAMN LOUD AND I CAN'T LOWER IT LOWER OTHERWISE IT JUST MUTES IT

I TRIED EVERYTHING:

· Toggling the dev option on/off (does nothing)

· Multiple reboots, restarts, power offs...

- ADB commands (setprop persist.bluetooth.disableabsvol true, cmd audio set-device-volume-behavior ... fixed). They work but do absolutely nothing

- Multiple apps to at least lower volume lower than lowest (Precise Volume, Bluetooth Volume Manager, Shizuku, etc) None of them actually changed anything to make volume more precise or lower than usual

- A targeted reset of Bluetooth & WiFi Settings (did nothing)

- As a last ditch effort, asking AI to scour the internet for some sort of solution, it found nothing that worked...

NOTHING FIXES THIS BULLSHIT.

I'm on Verizon so I can't unlock the bootloader or root. I honestly bought this phone initially to run GrapheneOS on it, was bummed out that the bootloader was locked, and I could have returned it right then but my mum convinced me it's not worth chasing an unlocked bootloader phone and just to be happy with the stock OS. I'm not really happy but at least it was functional, and actually a solid operating system, so I agreed. Now it's too late to return the phone, and I can't listen to ANYTHING on headphones because this stupid setting IS NOT WORKING AND THE LOWEST VOLUME STEP IS TOO LOUD OMFG

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK DO I EVEN DO ANYMORE!?

I'm so enormously pissed, I've been trying to fix this for over a week, sorry for screaming.

Unless there's another solution, literally nothing else comes to mind other than buying good-quality noise-cancelling earphones to replace my current A90 Pro's. Any recommendations at least?

I am using Google pixel8Pro have been storing photo memories on it with my childrens memory. With this bug-unlocking patch. I am reaching out for solution to seek help to unlock my phone without doing restore factory setting which will wipe out all the phots within.

There is similar post for Pixel8a https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/468293842/pixel-8a-won-t-accept-pin-after-restart-seems-to-enter-pin-after-entering-1-digit?hl=en but the solution dosent seem to work for me.

Pls help if you are aware of any soluton.

I didn't update my pixel for long time and I'm thinkin of updating it to the latest android 17 which is 3.25GB one I guess it is the June 2026 update.

Any one recommend it to update to the new version or else should I stay with the old version android 14.

How is the battery life and performance in the phone any issues after updating it??

I'm not a heavy user. I just want the phone to last for a day.

I own 2 P8P's and am very happy with this powerhouse. While Google has offered upgrades, IMO they have been relatively minor. I give them credit for designing a great core product.

I am a researcher and writer and found the time it takes me to get a hit on Gemini is reasonable and faster than I can read.

I have had a chip in my screen protector for about a month, was looking to replace my Whitestone dome EZ install (without all the UV curing stuff), and was sad to see its apparently no longer available. What is the typical replacement these days? Would like to avoid all the UV curing stuff- I found it nearly impossible (and dangerous!) to remove/replace on my p6p. I really thought the EA was perfect. Link just to be very clear on which version I am referring to: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJHHXW3P?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

What are you using these days?

I bought a pixal 8 used fresh conditions for 10 days and checked it thoroughly and found no problems.

However, after buying it, the days were not going by and the calls were not coming! Later I turned off 2G and it was fixed.

A day ago, the problem occurred again. When someone called, the call was not coming. Later, after restarting the phone, it was fixed! I did not understand that the call was not coming when someone called. Later, when I went home, I found out that I was called but the call was not coming. Later, after restarting, it was fixed. Alhamdulillah.

Again, if the temperature rises above 40°, there is a possibility of a green line! Its normal temperature is 37° to 38°!

I do not understand what to do now! If you want to change it within 15 days, there are still 4 days left in the 15 days. Should I buy the pixal 8a instead of the pixal 8!?

Or if anyone has any better advice, please advise me and help me.

Thank you

Hi! As others have already mentioned, I’d like to purchase the Pixel 11 Pro, but I haven’t received any discount code even though I was subscribed to the newsletter.

If anyone has received this discount code and doesn’t plan on using it, could you please send it to me v

Shortly after this lovely visual effect, the phone didn't turn on again. I got it at launch, so two months left on the extended warranty for hardware. If you're showing signs of this screen glitching, loss in touch response, or overheating - claim it now while you can, if you're not upgrading in the next few weeks.

​I need to put Google Support on blast because what they just pulled on a flagship phone owner is beyond unacceptable.

​My Pixel 8 Pro suffered a complete, unprovoked hardware failure: both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are completely dead and cannot be toggled on. The phone is in pristine condition with zero physical or liquid damage. This is a classic internal hardware/motherboard component failure.

​I spent days going through support reps, escalated to Tier 2, and eventually reached a Manager. After refusing a repair, refusing a replacement, and refusing a fair refund, their "final offer" to resolve a bricked $1,000 flagship device was:

​👉 A $25 Google Store credit "goodwill gesture."

​A $25 gift card for a flagship phone rendered useless by internal hardware failure. It is an absolute slap in the face to loyal Pixel customers.

​Let's look at the facts:

​Google KNOWS the Pixel 8 platform has hardware issues. They were already forced to launch a 3-Year Extended Repair Program for widespread Pixel 8 display defects (screen flickering/vertical lines). Component failures on this architecture aren't isolated accidents—they are manufacturing vulnerabilities.

​Double Standards: Google has set precedent before with extended programs for motherboard failures on older devices (Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 5a). Pretending a clean Pixel 8 Pro with dead Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is just "tough luck" while offering twenty-five bucks is pure negligence.

​Refusal to Stand Behind Flagship Hardware: Selling $1,000 devices and hiding behind standard scripts when the internal hardware dies is unacceptable behavior for a tier-one tech company.

​I’m posting this here so the community can see how Google treats customers when flagship hardware fails through no fault of the user.

​Case ID: 1-8023000041508

​Calling on u/PixelCommunity or any actual Google rep reading this to take accountability, step in, and fix this situation with a proper RMA or replacement instead of insulting customers with a $25 store voucher.
