r/Pixel9

Honestly, I regret buying the Pixel 9 and would seriously suggest people think twice before buying a Pixel phone.

From day 1, my phone has had major overheating and charging issues. Even during normal usage, the temperature rises badly — sometimes reaching around 49°C — and the phone starts lagging, hanging, and becomes almost unusable.

Charging is another nightmare. Most of the time it charges at around ~1.8W and takes absurdly long to fully charge. Only occasionally it charges normally, making the issue highly inconsistent.

I contacted Google Support multiple times and even visited the service center, but they ignored the inconsistent behavior and returned the device saying there was “no issue.”

For a premium flagship phone, this experience has been extremely disappointing.

Please suggest me a best tempered glass for Google Pixel 9 which supports fingerprints or works fingerprint smoothly.

It's more than 8 months since pixel 10 series in India started getting call screening feature in India but since then no progress for 9 series.

Is it coming to 9 series or not?

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and I use dictation all the time for texts, Signal, everything. It was never great but about a week ago it got significantly worse. Almost always misses the first word, sometimes does not pick up anything I am saying. When I repeat, it picks stuff up twice. Sometimes when I get it to pick up the first word it drops that word after I get further along. Any thoughts?

I remember I bought my Pixel 9 256 GB in November 2024 and thought it was an awesome phone and although I occasionally wish I had gone for the Pro model, I am impressed by the camera and because the camera on the Pixel 10 is a total downgrade from the Pixel 9, I did not upgrade. I also have been hearing that the Google Pixel 11 will only have 8 GB of RAM, a downgrade from the Pixel 9 and 10's 12 GB. Because of this, I will hold on to Pixel 9 for another year. I take really good care of my battery and it is still at 100% battery health (it has been as low as 96% before, but has gone back up after the last few updates) and I could really keep using this phone for a long time if I keep it in this good shape. All in all, I made a smart purchase.

Please suggest some good affordable cases for Pixel 9 in India

Hi everyone,

I need advice on how to proceed with a consumer complaint in India.

I bought a Pixel 9 (~7 months ago), and from day 1 it has had serious issues:

• During phone calls, the audio cuts off after a few seconds and I cannot hear the other person thereafter.
• The phone often freezes and becomes unresponsive during calls.
• It randomly restarts on its own.
• During video calls (Google Meet, etc.), the phone shuts down completely after a few minutes.
• In some cases, there is also abnormal loud noise during audio use.

The device has already been sent to the service center three times, and every time they return it saying “no issues found”. However, the problems continue exactly the same immediately after I receive it back.

I have also provided video evidence showing all these issues clearly, but I am still being told the device is functioning normally.

At this point, Google support is refusing replacement and only repeating repair cycles.

I want to know:

• How do I proceed with a consumer court case in India for a defective product?
• What evidence is needed (I already have videos + service history + emails)?
• Is there a specific process or portal I should follow?

Any guidance from people who have gone through this would really help.

Thanks in advance.

I bought the Google Pixel 9 around 6 months ago and ever since using it I’ve been getting horrible eye strain, headaches, dizziness, and my eyesight has genuinely deteriorated. My right eye has become so blurry that I can’t even read the numbers on the wall clock anymore unless I get very close.

This started only after switching to the Pixel 9. I’ve tried lowering brightness, turning on night light.

I’m honestly getting worried now. Has anybody else experienced this with the Pixel 9 or other phones? What should be done in this situation? Did anything help? My Last Eye check up was 2 months ago, perfect eyesight, nothing abnormal..I didn't face this issue with my previous phone,the pixels brightness in low setting too definitely hurts my eye.
