Ask about the screen - Gemini

Did Google remove this option?

There is only share the screen now.

Ask about the screen was much better and practical.

Front cam images are not sharp and looks hazy with a red tint

I am facing an issue with the pixel 10a front camera. Do not know if this is normal or specifically with my phone. Even a 15k chinese phone has a better camera. Pls suggest if anyone is facing the same issue

Pixel 6 Pro Heating & Battery Drain

It all started out a couple of weeks back. The phone suffers heavy battery loss, even when idle. Losing about 15 percent battery hourly even with the screen turned off. Also, heats up all the time, sometimes even when not being used.

Already tried factory resetting and installing an older update.

Something wrong with the processor or charging circuit? The second screenshot from Inware shows high battery discharge current (800 to 1000 mA at idle), earlier it used to hover around in the four to five hundred mA range. The first screenshot shows throttling and high CPU usage, though the performance remains okay for the most part. The usbc-therm-adc remains stuck at 96 degrees for some reason. The port is not warm to the touch and I've tried cleaning the port.

What’s wrong with my Pixel 9 Pro’s battery life?

The battery of my Pixel 9 Pro has been draining crazy fast since the last updates. All I do is listen to Spotify and YouTube with my Bluetooth headset. Anyone else have this problem? Also, it's heating up a lot more than it used to.

System apps show 40% usage..anyone know what that means?

Google Pixel 9pro XL vertical green lines

Hi

I have a question about the green vertical lines on my screen.

I bought the phone last summer, but since a few day, I have green lines on my display, but when I restart the phone, they disappear and sometimes a few minutes sometimes a few day later they will appear again. What would be the right thing to do?

New icons

the new icons are there, on the other hand the interior does not change a bit Google preferred to update them at the same time as app updates, certainly the reason why they weren't quickly deployed

Pixel 10a can't always focus

Hi all. I have an issue where my new (~1 week old) pixel 10a can't consistently focus. The camera works fine sometimes, but other times it will stay blurry (with no change when I move it) or in the worst case it will just freak out like the video shows. In this case I can hear the camera trying to focus rapidly to no avail. The app says to "move back", but doing so has no effect when this problem occurs, it happens for far away objects too.

The following seems to have no effect: Restarting, clearing the camera application storage and cache, or trying a different camera application (I use the default, but tried Open Camera to see if it would make any difference; it didn't). Is this a known issue? Is this a software problem or a hardware one? I'd appreciate any advice.

Pixel 10a Camera Defect Reports Are Growing — We Need Answers

⚠️ Pixel 10a Users, We Need to Speak Up

I am creating this post because I have noticed multiple reports of Pixel 10a camera failures from users who purchased their devices only days or weeks earlier.

My own Pixel 10a developed a camera issue shortly after purchase. After review, Google classified my device as DOA (Dead on Arrival) and approved a replacement.

The concerning part is that I am not alone. Many users appear to be reporting similar camera problems. If this is happening to multiple people, Google needs to investigate and provide clear answers.

We are spending around ₹50,000 on these devices. Customers should not be facing major hardware failures within the first few weeks of ownership.

Most importantly, please report the issue directly to Google Support and post about it on X (Twitter), Reddit, and the Pixel Community forums. The more documented cases there are, the harder it becomes to ignore a potential widespread problem.

If enough users come forward, we should collectively ask Google to:

  1. Investigate the root cause of these camera failures.

2.Release a software update immediately if the problem is software-related.

3.Improve quality control if the problem is hardware-related.

If you have been affected, please share your experience and help raise awareness.

Google PixelCare+ is useless; and why I'll never buy a google product again

I have been an avid Pixel fan since the launch of the Pixel 1 and have upgraded like clockwork every 1-2 years since. I have had wonderful experiences with the Pixel insurance and support through the official google store in the past, but something has completely shifted over the past couple of years. Support is slow and useless, the products are less innovative, the deals are less tempting.

The final straw for me is the issue I have bene dealing with this week. I dropped my phone an cracked my screen on a camping trip this weekend. 'No worries' I think to myself having replaced my phones a few times over the years with PixelCare.

I walk into my nearest UBreakIFix Monday (4 days ago) and they let me know they can see I have insurance but Ill need to submit a claim. I dont have my phone so obviously I can't but I sigh and borrow a kind strangers phone. The support line states I will need to verify via email my account, which I obviously can't do as I don't have my phone. I proceed to drive 30minutes home and submit my claim online and 30minutes back to the store. The store states they cannot see my claim still. I call again. Four support agents lates I am told their claims system is bugged and someone will get back to me shortly.

It has been 4 days sinces then I've reached out twice; and still their claims are bugged, and still no one has replied to me except to tell me to be patient.

I have lost two days of productive work because of this issue and am going to have a pay out of pocket for a new device today with no recourse for being refunded by Google.

If you are reading this Google know you have a lost a loyal customer of over 10 years today. A customer who bragged incessantly and converted dozens of friends and family from IPhone to android and pixle devices. A customer who previously completed automated my home with google devices but slowly has been forced off every single one due to your poor product support and customer service. I really thought Pixel was the last hold out, but it seems to have finally been left behind as well.

I will be posting in every forum, every form of social media, and telling everyone who cares to listen how low you have fallen.

Control center shouldn't be accessible from lock screen!

If someone steals your phone they can easily turn on airplane mode and turn off mobile data and prevent you from tracking it, also it should require the passcode to shut the phone down
