A new problem appears in the Google Pixel, a series of devices that seems to be having bad luck or bad treatment by the developers. This time the problems are in the battery with the latest update and affects several Google Pixels. The security patch for the month of October seems to be the cause of all the failures, so if we have not applied it yet it will be better to wait.
Through Google forums and social networks we have echoed this serious problem that leaves Google mobiles without battery in a few hours. Some users have been able to see how during the night the mobile was completely downloaded and in other cases in just a few hours. It is not the first time that this has happened on a mobile, although not in such a marked and drastic way.
A problem that angers Google Pixel users
With the arrival of the latest version of Android, everything seemed like a bed of roses due to the interesting news that was presented but without going any further from reality, the problems of Android 11 have become commonplace. In this case, the battery problems especially affect the Google Pixel 2 and Google Pixel 3, in their base and XL versions, but there are also some Google Pixel 4 users with irregular battery consumption.
The failure of the October update is widespread, regardless of the country or the time of the update, although in our case with a Google Pixel 2 we have not detected abnormal consumption. Users complain that just by having the phone unlocked and looking at it, in just one minute the battery can drop by up to 3%. This results in a serious problem that should be solved quickly or the trust of many by Google will disappear.
Is there a solution to the problem?
Google itself has been offering the solution to use the safe mode of Android, as the problem would be directly linked to some apps on Google Play. So that you can go more directly in your tests and manage to fix the battery failure , we recommend you try to uninstall the TuneIn Radio app, since in many cases this was the only problem in this regard. However, the error seems to be linked to other apps or services, since in other cases it does not work.
While Google tries to solve it we can not do anything other than activate the energy saving mode and wait idly. Google is on time with the monthly security patch and at least there is not so much left for the first Monday of November.
