Android Pie Breaks Pixel XL's Ability To Fast Charge (theverge.com)

Google's recent launch of Android 9.0 Pie hasn't gone off without some early bugs and issues. According to The Verge, users are reporting that Android Pie prevents their phone from fast charging when plugged into many chargers. Google's own charger doesn't even appear to be working. From the report: Other Pixel XL owners say the bundled charger still functions properly and displays "charging rapidly," but third-party USB-PD (power delivery) chargers no longer juice up the XL as quickly as they did pre-update. Google has oddly marked a bug report on the problem as "won't fix (infeasible)," which is likely alarming to see for those experiencing it, especially since it can very clearly be attributed to the Android 9.0 update. Things were working normally, then Pie came, and then something broke. A second thread has been posted with more users chiming in to confirm they're affected.

Status changed to 'Assigned (Reopened)'

I don't think it's quite panic time yet. While it's true that this was marked 'Won't fix' at one point, the issue has now officially been reopened.

"Interestingly this was done *after* something has been posted on Slashdot."

Sure, for all definitions of "after" which mean "before."

"Noted how quickly that bug got reopened after this hit /."

Yeah, it's like Google has a time machine and can go back from the 6:00AM time it was posted here in order to re-open the ticket at 01:59AM.

This was reported on XDA weeks ago, Android Police a couple of days ago, and on Reddit shortly after.

Yeah, /. had lots to do with it.
