r/Pixel8phones

Hey all, last night I noticed that my 8a was charging SUPER slowly while on my magsafe charger (it's not the pixelsnap one, just one off Amazon with a magsafe case) and when I looked at the charging details, I saw that it was fluctuating the charge between .1 W and 2 W, sometimes just staying at .8 W. I figured something was wrong with the charger, but I tried it with my other phone but it worked just fine. I have a non magsafe wireless charger and when I tried that, it still pulled very low wattage. Wired charging works fine, and according to Gemini something's wrong with my coils or the QI chip or whatever it's called. Anyone else have had this issue, or any idea what caused it? I've been using wireless charging to charge my phone overnight for 2 years now, so I really don't understand how this happened.

Note: I have no clue if this breaks rule 2, but I'm going to assume it doesn't seeing as this is a charging issue and not a battery issue.

I thinking of getting a used pixel 8pro for 30k. Any pixel specific things I must check in a used one..any review for the 8 pro is most appreciated

Basically I'm looking to buy a new phone since I broke my old one. I use social media (instagram, twitter), I play a few games (like Online Soccer Manager, Pokemon Go, or emulated games), I watch youtube pretty frequently and listen to music all the time. I'm also a very outdoorsy person so I like to take a bunch of photos. Would you guys recommend buying a refurbished Pixel 8?

I've seen other options like the samsung galaxy a37, motorola edge 60 fusion or nothing phone 3a, but was leaning mostly towards the pixel 8

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

After the installation of the latest Android 17 qpr beta update, the private Space is not working, or showing up on pixel 8. Is there anyone else facing the same issue or know how to get it fixed?

Just how common are the pixel 8 screen issues?

I have a pixel eight that I got when it first came out and I’ve never used it regularly. As a matter of fact barely. I’ve kept the battery charged as you should and reset it because my intent was to sell it. But over time I’ve heard about the screen issues that apparently were more common with the eight series, and I’m wondering just how common was it or is it?

I’m in a position where I’m trying to sell a bunch of things due to budget but I would hate to sell this to somebody and then have the screen go out on them if they started using it daily. It would make me feel bad and also I could not offer a refund. Is this a common enough issue that I should just hold onto the phone and keep it as a spare, or sell it anyway?

Does anybody know what software features from the i o launch today will be coming to the pixel 8?

Got my pixel 8 last week, feel it's long enough time to give a review for those that might be considering getting the device. Before I got it, hours and weeks of scrolling through Reddit before I made the purchase, knowing to go for the shoreline panel and not the BOE, and what not..... Best advice in not getting a green line which the most common defect is to download the "Device info hw" app on Play store to determine what panel it comes it. Shoreline good, BOE bad. It is to note the phone was gotten used and not new. You'll need a case as soon as you can. It's way too slippery but low-key, I kind of liked using the phone without the case but it's still too slippery.

The pixel 8 is a good device. It's snappy and fast. The 120hz screen and how quickly it scrolls seems too fast for me😄. To address other common issues like the phone running hot. I'm pretty much a light user maybe why I have never had it run seriously hot. The hardest task the phone has performed for me is probably me listening to music and scrolling through twitter or Reddit. I stay in a hot country and barely any access to an AC yet the phone has never given me temperature issues. If you won't be gaming intensely on this, guess you're good.

You've probably seen the reviews but if you want another first hand review, the camera is really solid. Had iPhone users test out the camera and they've said it's decent. I'm not really a picture person though so I won't really know how a quality camera is meant to look.

For the battery, it's said to give approximately 5-6 hours of SOT which I have gotten consistently 5 hours. I'm sure I could possibly hit 6 hours too but I usually charge the phone before it gets that low. I use battery saver always and smooth display turned off so that's probably why my battery lasts that long. Even with the battery saver on and smooth display turned off, the phone is still fast and has never lagged once.

All round, it's a solid device. Hope it's not just early days though 🤞. I would recommend based on my experience

Any intel on how fast a battery will keep going down if its already at this many cycles, like will it keep degrading slowly or will there be sudden jumps as the battery is "dying" or something and at 1000 cycles it would not just be at 80% but already at 50% or something even crazier?

Like with 3+ days of Standby (i nuked a lot of the system and google apps i dont need it and disabled all the background services and data services for basically all apps including system apps).

Camera is amazing and really like the clean OS of the Pixel 8.

I want to add my Sena Bluetooth headset as a trusted device to keep my phone unlocked while riding my motorcycle. However, these options do not work on my phone. At some point in the past, I must have added our home so the phone should stay unlocked, but it's been so long, I do not recall if it even works (it probably does). But I am unable to add my Sena Bluetooth headset currently.

Anyone have any idea why these options do not work or have any suggestions on how to resolve?

My Pixel 8 is 1 yr 9 months old. 2 days ago, I had a small software update. Today, my screen has turned yellow. There are also several lines that appeared on the screen. Also, the fingerprint sensor isn't working. What is the issue? How can I fix it? Help please.....
