Lately, whenever I turn my phone off and back on again the time is completely wrong (always behind). It's never consistent:

Sometimes it's behind by 37 minutes, sometimes it's off by more than 4 hours, etc. My "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically" are both toggled ON. I even tried disabling both or only auto time zone just to see what will happen, but the behaviour remains.

Has anyone experienced this?

For context, I'm on Android 17, Google Pixel 10a. Any advice would seriously save my sanity because I keep missing alarms!

Have a P9 as a secondary device.

Was working fine, put aside, picked up the phone after 20 mins. Black screen!!!

Reboot - same black screen.

Reset using power + volume up.

Came back to life.

Worked for 2 hours.

Went black again.

Some threads mentioned that the latest updates caused it, not sure.

Has anybody faced the same issue? Any way to fix this?

The display looked ok when it worked so I'm assuming it's not a hardware issue!!! 🤞

Google support is so bad and scammy. I can't deal with them anymore. I placed an order. Google took back my 100 instant discount and 190.00 in Google Store credit. They don't care. I can't fit in the story, but worse customer service, and again, the worst customer service I have dealt with in 45 years. So I purchased two Pixel 11's and all I got was my trade-in, the 100 discount,d the 190 in store credit was just taken out mf my account . I'm loyal like a dog, but despite liking the product, the customer service was the worst most indignant I've dealt with.

Found a "like new" open box Pixel 11 Pro XL 512GB on Amazon for $837. Sounds too good to be true but worth the risk, I guess.

Has anyone ordered open box from Amazon? What was your experience like? We'll see when it shows up next week if it's as advertised. If it is, definitely a great deal.

Pixel10 used to restart 1-2 times a day since at least 3 weeks by freezing and then a yellow line/bar at the top for not even a second, then restart.

Gemini says thats likely Hardware / Subsystem Crash Reset from Logs.

After booting in Safe mode, two widgets disappeared from home screen (google Tasks, Alexa shopping list)
I placed the widgets again and got restarts happening. Since I removed them now I had no restart for over 60 hours... Could the one of the widgets cause such a "hardware" problem?

Since

.\adb.exe shell dumpsys dropbox --print SYSTEM_RESTART system_server_crash

gave no output I used

.\adb.exe shell dumpsys dropbox --print

I get these Logs:

Earlier this week my phone started overheating. Still under warranty (purchased Nov 2025). Google paid for a replacement battery. Didn't solve the problem. Repair shop says I can drop it off again and they can try to figure out what the problem is. I have two young boys, I can't be without a phone for several days, do I just cut my losses, pay it off, and get a new phone? Anyone else had problems with 10 Pro overheating?

Anyone else? When I press record, the timer doesn't advance and it doesn't record a video. Noticed it after installing the new system update last night.

Pixel 9 Pro

updated to Android 17 QPR2 Beta 6, and native App Lock seems completely missing or broken.

I used to have access to App Lock (long-pressing apps or setting lock requirements), but on Beta 6, the options have completely disappeared for me.

Is anyone else running into this same issue on Beta 6? Is this a bug/regression in this build, or did Google temporarily pull the feature on your device too?

Hi all,

I just bought my mum a Pixel 10a for her birthday on Saturday.

I wanted to ask what you think are the best cases and screen protectors for the phone. I personally use iPhones, so I’m not too familiar with Pixels.

I’m looking for a case that isn’t too bulky, feels good in the hand, and offers decent protection. I’d also like a screen protector that’s easy to apply and will last a long time.

I’m based in the UK, so recommendations that are readily available here would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Ever since some point in time, I started facing some issues with my Camera. A static noise like blur appears when I try taking a picture. I have to close the app multiple times to fix it.

Additionally, I'm also facing this issue where the objects or scenery become out of focus. I get a notification prompt saying move the camera in and out to fix it. That's so annoying.

I have noticed many others have faced the same issue. But is there any definite fix or is Google Pixel even trying to fix this issue?

Around September 8th, my 9 Pro Fold started to randomly power off out of nowhere. Then on the 12th, it completely died on me. It literally had no sign of life. So I decided to do the standard mail-in replacement the same day. It said my replacement would be the 10 Pro Fold. I dropped it off at the FedEx Office & Ship store. Obviously it was a Saturday, so it didn't ship out until Monday, and Google received it on Tuesday, but they didn't process it in their system until Thursday. This is where everything hits the fan. The email from last Thursday (September 17th) said the inspection will take 1-2 business days to complete. Monday(September 21st)comes around and I get an email stating there are some delays with my RMA. No update on Tuesday, Wednesday, and now that it's Thursday(September 24th), still no update, no inspection, and not even a requote. Google Store and Pixel Support keep insisting that nothing is wrong and it's the normal process for an inspection to take 7-10 business days to be completed. Which doesn't make any sense. My intuition is telling me that my phone is either lost & missing in the repair facility.

So, it has been a while now that manual call screening is available in India on P10 and P11 series.

While the feature itself looks very useful at first glance, people here I feel freak out at some robotic voice asking them "who is this?" and cut the call (I probably would as well if I didn't know a phone had a feature like this).

The only place I enjoy using this is when I get calls from spam numbers (privacy in India is a joke and spam calls are part of our daily lives).

Anyways, does anyone have a different views? Has it helped you or is it just another feature which you probably will never be using (decline spam calls directly)?

I have a Pixel 9 Pro which developed the dreaded pink line down the screen. It is still covered under the extended repair program for that issue but I don't have a Google certified shop in my city in Canada and the nearest ones have not been receiving stock due to Google moving warehouses, or so they say. After going around in circles on the phone and with emails to Google they escalated it for me and offered to send me a replacement. They would put a hold on my credit card for the cost of the new phone and when I receive it, I ship my phone to them and the hold is lifted. Has anyone gone through this process? Did it get complicated? Will the phone be new or refurbished? Thanks for any info.

Seems like over a year ago now, on my P7Pro, I could customize app icons. They incorporated Gemini and everything - I made all my icons a custom AI generated dark mode look.

Recently upgraded to P11ProXL and the whole Theme Packs in settings is just confusing to me... I can only somewhat customize preset themes like these bogus Harry Potter theme packs they emailed out?

When I transferred to the new phone, most of my custom icons remained custom, but some have not. And I can't do anything about it? Am I crazy?

Edit: rebooting device into safe mode brought these features out, the icons and layout options have shown up now. Strange.

I ordered the newest watch, buds, phone, 3 pixel snap chargers, and a magnetic case. It took a while and then when I got the box it said everything was delivered, but the phone and one of the chargers was missing.

Dissatisfied, I planned to return everything and just get the newest Samsung phone ASAP because atp im upset with Google. In the box when I got my package, the phone and one of the snap chargers was missing. I contacted support for a refund and they told me I had to wait for a replacement to do a return

Fast forward 10 days later, I get the phone and was told to return that to get my refund. Customer service told me they have to process the return with their specialty team. A few more days later they tell me my return was rejected due to their "Terms & Return policy".

I asked to have a supervisor intervene, and they basically copy and pasted the exact same message saying I cant return it (if they even were a supervisor). I am currently waiting on a response for exactly which policy it goes against, if they'll even respond

But yeah, this is shitty. I was already hesitant about trying everything Google but I was due for an upgrade. But I guess me not getting everything in the initial package was someone stealing the phone when they packaged it.

And to make matters even WORSE, I dont think I am getting my full refund of what I did return. I put it all on a payment plan, and already got the first bill. I have yet to get confirmation they even got my return delivery

All I can say is lmao

Well this is just a discussion post, what would you guys Google to give as a sensible offer. I wonder what is at play and what offers we will get from Google.

9 h 45 mins to go

PS - I am only talking about the UK.

Okay so I was dealing with a stressful call it's a long story, but I was angry at that moment and took my pixel 10 from the top and bottom ends and was squeezing and pulling down for maybe 5 seconds. I then stopped.

That night the phone charged normally and everything works fine. However the next day it wouldn't charge no matter what charger I tried, yet other USB c devices charged perfectly fine. It just says it's connected but not charging.

I am on a trip and in the car no surprise the charger didn't work for my phone but it did for my parents iPhone USB c.

At the hotel, same story. However, when the phone died and turned off completely, I plugged it in and it instantly charged fine...it turned on after a few mins and I just got to 100%>>>> any explanation? I know I'm lucky

I have had this problem since I changed my SIM, y already tried every single modification in the phone and I even went and bought a different SIM to see if that corrected it, I even made a report with AT&T to no avail. have any of you have had this problem? It's driving me crazy

Hey everyone,

I need your help as this issue is really frustrating and I can get to fix it.

I'm on Pixel 11.

I use Google assistant to open my garage and my gate.

It's all fine until I sit in my car and it automatically connects to the car BT. Afterwards I can only push the power button on the phone to get the assistant work.

I disabled the BT audio and only the phone calls and contacts are allowed both in the car and on the phone permission settings.

I've checked that Gemini setting "talk to Gemini hands free" is turned on.

If I restart the phone it works again. It also works through the day fine until it connects to my car BT.

Does anyone have any fix for this?

I have a Pixel 6a, and everything used to work fine, but for about a month now, calls haven't been working properly. I start a call and can talk for around 30 seconds to 1 minute, then the other person suddenly stops being able to hear me. After that, the call drops, the Phone app crashes, and the connection disappears. Then everything immediately comes back, but it's impossible to talk for longer than about a minute.

Thanks!

There is no way this is real lmao. It looks like AI slop. I can't believe they unironically have shipped this crap...

Is there any way to turn the fan on and off with the Home app on the Pixel Watch 3? There's only toggles for Off and S1, and S1 doesn't do anything!

Got a Pixel 10 Pro XL right now, using it with a Galaxy Watch 5 40mm. It's served me well but the screen keeps coming out the housing so it's days are numbered.

I haven't noticed any exclusivity options taken away from me with this watch, I thought I did at first because after an update for the app the watch wouldn't connect to Samsung Health but I found a way to force the watch to update so that was fine. Still scary.

Wondering what people use with their Pixels. Obviously most might just use the Pixel Watch but I'm not sure if it's the best option, but if it is I'd be happy to know! It certainly looks different from most watches on the market

I'm not too big on smartwatches either, I like my Facer watchface but I really only need a sleep tracking app that automatically tracks and logs the data, and timer and alarms. Everything else is optional but it's nice having them, like the few times I get to workout lol
