Some Google Pixel Devices Are Shutting Down At 30% Battery (androidauthority.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Android Authority: It seems that some Pixel devices are affected by the same infamous shutdown bug that plagued the Nexus 6P where the device would prematurely turn off at 25 to 35 percent. The Huawei Nexus 6P has finally received the Nougat update. But ever since, Google's last ever Nexus device has been on the news, and for all the wrong reasons. Among the problems was a shutdown bug: the phone would shut down when the battery is at 30 percent or so. Well, it looks like the issue isn't unique to those Nexus 6P users. A few Reddit users are reporting that their Pixel devices are also suffering from the same shutdown bug. Some Pixel phones would prematurely shut down at or around 30 percent and would not turn back on until a charger is connected. A user by the name of vrski_15, who started the thread explains: "Twice in last 5 days, has the phone shutdown abruptly while I am in middle of something. In both instances, battery was between 25-35%, and the phone under normal conditions should have lasted for at least next 3-4 hours." With the Nexus 6P, Huawei first ruled that this was not a hardware problem but a software-related one. However, users found that the problem persisted even after downgrading to Android Marshmallow. This led Huawei to investigate further with Google, and although the company hasn't revealed the cause yet, it is probably related to the problem that these Pixel users have been experiencing.
Really? You don't have to copy everything Apple does.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
Same AC here. I apologize for my incredibly stupid post. Clinton was clearly the better candidate and deserves to win the election. We're it not for meddling by the Russians and an antiquated electoral college, Clinton would have been the clear and deserving winner. I'm sorry for making such a stupid post, and I will work to improve the quality of my posts. Clinton was clearly the better candidate, though it's not hard to be better than a clueless buffoon like Trump.
Maybe they discharge at 30%, but they charge to 130%! With some recent battery innovations, they may be able to reach 150% of charge and shut down at 50%!!!!
Talking to their head of support, Nigel Tufnel, he said that's exactly what happens.
