I posted the following reply to the Google Support Community Forum, relating to this issue. After the August 2020 patch update, my Pixel battery issue may have gone away. Any thoughts?? "Does anyone here have the Pixel 4 XL with the issue, and then updated to the August 2020 patch update and...

Well, I have moved my Fi SIM from my Pixel 4 XL to my Galaxy Note 9 (AT&T unlocked). The battery percentage on my Pixel 4 XL has been stuck on 50% for a few days. Seems to be running okay as I charge it a few times throughout the day. I will wait until the July patch update before I do a...

A restart works sometimes, and sometimes not. I was having notifications on my phone that the app ActionDash had high battery usage and others that the app was not responding. Initially, I uninstalled the app and my issues went away, reinstalled the app and my issues came back, uninstalled...

Well, that did not last long. Still have the issue.

So, I find this seriously hard to believe, but after a day of working fine. To test, I reinstalled Action Dash and it went back to not charging and showing Unknown. Then, again uninstalled ActionDash and it is back to charging. I have no clue what this app is doing that the recent update has...

I have been having the exact same issues. Stupid 50% battery. Was having the issue for over a few weeks. In the last week it got really bad and more noticeable. Have you had any odd prompts from your OS telling you an app is using large amounts of battery, bu the % is low? I ask as my Pixel...

Thanks. I am not against a factory reset, but may wait until the July update and see if that fixes it.

BTW, this has to be some kind of software bug. The phone was on the charger the whole time I wrote and post the original post. After I posted it, I restarted the phone and the battery % went from being stuck on 50% before restart, to 67% after restart. And, in the 4-5 minutes of typing up...

Has anyone noticed funny battery percentage and charging issues or behaviors since the June 2020 Update? My Pixel 4 XL on Google Fi, bought from the Google Store has been working fine for months. Historically, my battery life has been fine and most days it will lat me until the evenings. But...

Jerry, In Android Central episode 355 - Pixel Central, you mentioned there was a wrapper or wrapper framework that could be installed on Chrome OS to allow a user to install applications on it. I assume this is not Google Play Store apps and also not the Crouton framework to install a second...

Try checking out this GitHub page, I have used this on my 2015 Chromebook Pixel. https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton

I have been using Android phones on my 2nd AT&T line for 4 years. I have gone from Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 4 and now a Galaxy Note 5. I have also been using the current gen iPhone each year (yes, buy new each year). In the past few years, I have always preferred my iPhone...

Few updates. I have added a few MP3 song files to the Note 5 and they will play of the USB. It worked as soon as I turned off USB Debugging. It appears the Note 5 is connecting as a storage device, as playing Pocket Cast on the device will not play to the car. I even changed the setting in...

First off, I should clarify I would prefer to use Pocket Cast to listen to podcasts. This work fine on the iPhone with USB and BT. I put an MP3 on the Note 5 and over USB the system will play the song, but not Pocket Cast output. I switched the MirrorLink on and the MP3 stopped playing. At...
