Pixel 6 and 7 series users are facing this problem
Pixel users have been complaining about overheating and battery drain, for which Google now has a solution.
If you own a Google Pixel 6 or Pixel 7 device, chances are your phone is getting abnormally hot after the latest update.
It seems that several users have raised their concerns regarding this issue which is apparently draining the battery faster than normal. Google has heard these pleas and has confirmed that the issue is caused by a server side issue. This has now fixed the problem and your phone should be back to normal with the changes Google has implemented.
The introduced update for Google app seems to be the culprit here, and many people using Pixel 6, 6 pro, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro models are facing this issue. Having said that, we didn’t encounter any issues with our Pixel units.
While Google has finally resolved the matter, it took a few days for the company to respond to these complaints. Some of those affected by this problem sought help from Google’s support system, which suggested going back to an older version of the Google app or even resetting their device (because that always works, right). Tips like suggested, to see if it helps the problem.
Battery life has been one of the weak points of Pixel phones in recent years. Many have attributed this to Google’s in-house Tensor chipset which is built on the Exynos chip process. During our time with the Pixel, we’ve noticed that the battery drains faster than other flagship phones, even though it runs on a lighter stock Android version.
Does this server side fix help the overall battery performance of the Pixel model? Can’t be sure about it, but at least the users will not face excessive heating which can be harmful for the phone in many ways and risky for the person to use, especially There is a possibility of catching fire or damaging the inside of the battery.
