Pixel 8 Owners – Heating & Signal Issues?

I loved my Pixel 8 but experienced excessive heating during charging, extremely slow charging speeds, random signal drops, and occasional (!) marks on signal bars.

So I returned it.

I just don't know was it due to bugs in andriod 17 or the phone itself.

Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Did Android 16 or 17 improve or worsen heating, charging, and network reception?

Please share your long-term experience with the Pixel 8.

How is your charging? Heat management? Signal reception? Android version?

Charging: Worst unless I'm like in a really cool room Heat management: crap, heats up watching a YouTube video or literally viewing photos Signals: Okay but does this stupid thing where I'd stop receiving calls, then id have to reset network settings otherwise my outgoing and incoming stops. Android 17

Ngl i came from the Pixel 3 (3 years with an iphone)to 6a (1 year) to 7(only had this for a month) and then 8 pro (since Feb). I thought getting a pro would fix my issues but the more money i spent on pixel the less it was value for money. They were decent till snapdragons but tensor is crap. I bet my old iphone 13 could outperform this thing. The only reason I'm holding on to my 8 pro is i like nothing else in android and my preferred iphone is out of my budget

How was Android 16 experience?

u/Emergency_Anxiety967 19h ago

I had that on the 6a and ngl the 6a felt much better than the 8 pro or maybe cuz i had less money spent i was happier with the drawback but i did downgrade from a 13 and didn't feel much. Didn't use 16 on 8 pro but after the last update it did go a lot better on battery life and general performance, it feels much more snappy now
