Yeah, indeed. My Pixel 6 is total crap after the A13 update, battery does not even last a day with phone being in FLIGHT MODE for the night. Terrible, totally disappointed :(

On top of this Viber started acting up after update too, main consumer with virtually no usage or very minimal :

Installed latest version from Google Play but it does not help still drains the battery like crazy :( :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cultofluna:
Kept a13 stable bootloader ... flashed beta 4.1 image and radio

Quite easy actually
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Azerox:
Same here, crazy drain on A13. Dont wanna fac reset my phone. What a mess this Pixel is as a premium device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MadMan29729:
I think what's causing my battery drain is the fact that the phone doesn't go to sleep. I have screen off set to 5 minutes, but the screen doesn't turn off unless hit the power button! I didn't have this problem until A13
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CoolRalph:
Google has a confirmed bug on their bug tracker about the Bluetooth issue.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vasilisG13:
I have the same issue with you unfortunately. I think that Viber isn't compatible with A13 yet. let's hope that an update solve this
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blaze73:
You have the same? Viber being the no.1 in the app list in terms of battery consumation ?

I wonder how and why others are not affected ? :( On a local forum people dont complain about Viber and so.

I have latest version from Play and it still gives me a nasty 25% battery consumation which is insane :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vasilisG13:
It drives me crazy! I installed also a beta version of viber but nothing changed. When the screen is on by battery is Charmin! When its off crazy idle drain .
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blaze73:
Nothing works, I also tried older APKs. They start but cant register as it says use a newer version or so.

One user said Viber is not A13 ready hence our problems. A12 is some 31 and A12 is 33 and Viber is 31 yet only.

Send a bug report to Viber support, I did also contact them and explained our battery error on A13-Pixel 6.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
this is the only way to fix issues with battery life, overheating (that's usually causes by the new thermal process that can be corrupted) and other issues.

wipe device (or use flash.android.com and choose wipe and force flash all partitions). then during setup, uncheck apps and settings so they don't restore (you can leave all other data checked).

I know this can take a few hours to setup, but the results are usually pretty awesome (re-flashing and not restoring apps/data resolved my overheating issues where I couldn't record 4k60 HEVC for more than 5 minutes and also massive battery drain). Ymmv.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
An italian tech website said that clean the Device Health Service data should fix the issue. I just tried...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cultofluna:
Ive always disable this app
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mcfisch:
I've never regretted buying a device as much as with this P6P. Now I'm finally at the point where I feel like it can only get better going to a custom ROM. For the entire time since I got this in November I dealt with all the issues this phone has, but now with the phone randomly discharging fully within a couple of hours I feel like I have no choice. Since I'm on the A13 Beta I need to factory reset anyway in order to move off the Beta, so I can also use this as a chance to move to a system that at least has developers caring about bug reports without waiting for a media backlash every time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blaze73:
I have completely deleted Viber from Pixel 6 and the battery drain is gone.

In the meantime I have heard that the massive battery drain by Viber app might be caused that allegedly

Viber is developed up to API 30 only, Android 13 is API 33.

After uninstalling Viber the phone in flight mode lost only 4% of charge instead of the previous nights' 30-36%
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blaze73:
I have deleted Viber and the battery life is almost normal now but guys, the battery drain is not completely gone.

I still have some grey system file (?) in the battery use logs

Cant find it when looking for this fine not even if system files are selected ?

Any idea how to remove this for good?

Thanks !
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
why not try what I recommend above? use flash.android.com (choose wipe and force flash all partitions to install latest 13 stable) and during setup uncheck apps and device settings. This should fix your issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
I have both issues - excessive and ridiculous battery drain and extremely low charging.

I might have to try a Factory Reset, just to see, but I hate losing some data, like cumulative scores on games, etc
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
Spent all day with Preferred Network set to LTE, not much better. Factory Reset this weekend, imminent
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
Culprit for me was coin and Samsung health even if I set both to resrictive they still drained uninstalled Samsung health and uninstalled re installed coin and then set to resrictive alp seems to be ok battery still not as good since last month update

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blaze73:
Yes, I have installed it last night. Not so much of an improvement. (yet?) Battery life still kind of weak, I re-installed

Viber lets see if the drain stops... (or not)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jodelaplaya:
Hi

Wipe 3 Times my device, it has less than an months, not si much apps installed. Intelligent connection and battery are disabled. Also wiped Device Health Service

Phone is hot when using 4g, or charging.

Battery life is ok on wifi, but terrible in idle ans 4g.

I did the last update from today.

Do you have some advice ?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] itch808:
I am new to the P6P and just picked this up recently. But my battery life seems to be stellar. Last 2 phones were S21 5G and OP7 Pro. My last Pixel was the 2XL. Wife has had a P6 since launch. I am so glad to be back on #teampixel. I'm done with Samsung.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Tones1971:
Do updates always take a long time to complete. 27mb update takes forever to get installed. Just new to the pixel
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
While I'm not on A13 just yet, I've had battery drain and overheating issues since day one with my P6P. My phone should be on fire with how it feels, and all I'm doing is web browsing. I don't understand how this even happens, as it really shouldn't.

While I could rant and repeat a lot of what everyone has already said, I will just say my experience is similar, but I have yet to upgrade my OS from A12 because I just don't want more problems than I already deal with.

I'm going to try Apple (again) and their new phone that was just announced today to see if I have a better experience, because I have not been liking my phone as of late. I will keep this phone though as a backup in case I decide I can't bear the transition back to Apple, lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blaze73:
Yes. They do. This 28mb update took almost an hour to be installed with optimization process and whatnot.

I am not very delighted with performance still, my battery is not sharp. 100% charge and in flight mode overnight I can see

4-8% drain which is not normal in flight mode. (used to be 1-2%!)

Viber still acting up for me on A13, massive battery drain too.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
It's typically faster to sideload the update via a terminal command, instead of allowing it to run during normal phone usage.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] vonDubenshire:
It's the optimization in the background.

It does this so your phone doesn't need to apply while rebooting.

Only annoying to us doing it OTA and bring impatient.

If you flash it manually it is faster
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Buju95:
So here's my horror story on it.

Back when I got the P6P I enjoyed it. It felt like it had just enough battery everywhere I went although I really did want more.

Then came the last public beta before stable rolls out.

Out of curiosity I decide to try. My pixel had been too buggy to make me want to try the beta until it became more stable, but I figured the last beta should be manageable, so I updated.

Thus began the golden age of my pixel usage. Men admired me, women desired me, it was the classic pixel user experience that I had heard so much about. My phone endured hard use throughout the 12+ hour day, and then still had over 50% left at night. At this time campfires were a daily experience for me, and I was using the reverse wireless charging to charge my friend's iphones while we sat around the fire, thus making all my friends want pixels.

Then came the update last month, after the stable release.

Now my phone is getting 5 hours of battery life per charge. I charged my phone twice yesterday, and I still ended on 5%. This is after disabling 5g and adaptive connectivity, which did help my battery life notably believe it or not. Still getting hot, still not lasting.

I heard tell of the September stable fixing this issue, but alas, it is warning me that my data will be deleted if I opt out of the beta, so I guess I'm stuck waiting for the next safe opt out window.

Thank you for reading my horror story.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 5t4rC0m1337:
Hi Folks,

My phone battery was terrible (running A12) with it dying after max 3-5 hours SOT a day, and battery being drained while being in idle, had to charge twice/three times a day.

Then I was about to try out A13 but then my phone decided to update the kernel which removed root and guess what, I've never had a better battery than now.

It does deep sleep now properly when the phone is locked, meaning no battery drained and I can finally use my phone the whole day from 8am to 10pm (with 20% left) without charging it once (wear os on constantly, with Spotify on for few hours, web browsing (3-4hours and YouTube (1-2 hours).

This is the kernel who interested :

5.10.81-android12-9-00001-geba40aecb3b7-ab8534902

#1 Tue May 3 02:46:17 UTC 2022

You know what they say, when it works, don't break it, therefore I won't upgrade anything for now haha.

Does anyone know how to block any further kernel upgrade in the future ?

Thanks all !
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Not sure I understand. The stock kernel doesn't upgrade itself. It only upgrades, if there is indeed a new kernel available, when the whole system updates, e.g. an OTA update. I assume you weren't previously on a custom kernel since you didn't mention it. Are you sure it wasn't just an OTA you got?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 5t4rC0m1337:
I was running Kirisakura before the update.

The interesting part is the OTA never worked previously on my phone but you might be right, it went through this time.

I wonder why and how though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Ok, well Kiri doesn't update itself either so you must have gotten an OTA. Several people have reported that the OTA going from A12 to A13 actually succeeded while being rooted (although they lost root afterwards). This is usually not the case as the pre-OTA block verifications will cause the update to fail, so Google may have done something with the pre-OTA block verifications when updating from A12 to A13.

In any case, if you did indeed get an OTA upgrading you to A13, don't forget to either flash the A13 bootloader to your inacxtive slot or sideload the full OTA image to avoid possibly bricking your device due to the new ARB Google has implemented in the A13 bootloader.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 5t4rC0m1337:
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm still running A12.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Oh, so your OTA update was for A12? Well, if and when you update to A13, you know what to do.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 5t4rC0m1337:
I won't be updating to A13 since I'm quite happy now with A12.

Can you confirm the system won't force the upgrade to A13 ?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Disabling "Automatic system update" disabled in the developer options should stop it, but with Google there are no absolute guarantees.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 5t4rC0m1337:
It was already disabled but the OTA went through.

Thanks anyway !
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fillwithjoy1:
I'm getting insane deja vu, same here on Accubattery (15.6/hr, 3.2/hr). Unfortunately, you cannot rollback to Android 12 because of a bootloader "vulnerability", thanks google - can't wait for them to rollout Android 14 and say "can't rollback now >:)"

[Wear OS General] niagara94:
Hi - I am new to Wear OS (just got a Watch 5 Pro). Is there an easy way to find the watch faces on the Google Play Store? I noticed that there are no separate categories for watch faces (other than just tiny ones). I do a search for watch faces but I don't think I'm getting a list of all that are available. Thanks in advance for any help!
[Wear OS General] davidkejzlar:
Hi, Play store has categories. When I start Play Store on watch, there are about 8 categories, one of them is "Watch faces recommended for you" (but I have Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE based on Wear OS 2 watch, Wear OS 3 on Samsung is heavily customized by Samsung, so these categories may not be available and it may show just faces compatible with your watch). When accessing Play store on computer, there is category "Watch faces" and I can istall watch faces to phone and watch directly. But I believe most watch faces can't be found on Play store, but in some App/website and then installed to watch (similar way as installing apps from unknown sources on Android phone, enable adb and then connect over WiFi to youe watch and install apk witch watch faces).

PS: there is a list of apps on computer Play store:

Watch apps - Android Apps on Google Play

Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.

play.google.com

Not many (but it's more watch, than computer;-) and apps are also filtered by Wear OS version/country, but this link should give you overvies of available Wear OS apps.

PS2: There is way how to install nearly any Android app to Wear OS watch, but I use it as pedometer and for basic notifications and don't need to run unoptimized games/apps on it.
[Wear OS General] niagara94:
Thank you for the suggestions. I don't remember seeing a watch face category when looking at the Google Play Store on my computer. I must have missed it. Thanks again.
[Wear OS General] klisza1993:
For tizenOs was more free watch faces.
[Wear OS General] falconsson:
I am making watch faces for Wear OS. I also cannot find any of my watch faces when I search, unless I search for my developer name (MURADIUM). Nobody around the world would just receive a revelation and search for my name. They don't...
[General Questions and Answers] ProKassadinMain:
hey i cant seem to find any answers about this on the internet and i have no idea on which forum should i post this on my choices were the xiaomi.eu, orangefox but i have choose to reffer to you guys and i hope to meet some nice people. Im using a redmi note 9 pro (joyeuse) with the latest xiaomi eu rom

running android 11 with OrangeFox recovery. and this phone is about to get (its not out yet) its android 12 update. i need help updating it because i don't want to brick my phone. Also the reason why im not posting this in my phone's dedicated forum is becase the story should be the same for all the other people updating from android 11 to 12

So i have no idea if the version of orangefox recovery that i have supports android 12 (im running R11.1_2 STABLE) the website mentions nothing about either android support. there is also a BETA version of OrangeFox for my phone which is R11.1_3_4_A12_FBEv2 in the notes of this BETA version it says "This is an (FBEv2) Android 12 (and higher) only release. Do NOT use with Android 11 or earlier"

now lets say that the miui 13 update with android 12 is out. what do i do then if i want to update? more specificly in which order should i update the phone? should i first update my recovery and then the rom? or in reverse? or is there a way to update them both at the same time? there is also a possibility that by the time the miui 13 update comes out OrangeFox might come out with a new stable version that will support both android 11 and 12 at the same time so that will completely eliminate my problem.

Hello,

I've on KIA e-niro with the newest firmware and also using AAWireless with the newest SW.

Some times ago, AA began to connect for one second, crashes and try to reconnect.

This issue is with cable and with AAwireless.

I cleared the memory of AA And AAW, reinstall AAW, with no success.

If I connect via USB cable after cleaning the memory, I get the welcome screen of AA, click on continue and AA crashes.

Any idea to solve this problem?

Hi

I know i have quite specific issue but maybe one of you knows how to fix this....

I bought Ekiy T900 UIS7862 specifically to use it with the app Hondash ( to do datalogging on the development car ). The problem i'm facing is that it seems the headunit is not able to connect to the BT dongle? it accepts only connections TO the headunit ?

Is there any way to make this work ?
[FYT Android Head Units] dhbiker:
from my knowledge it is a FYT unit yes
[FYT Android Head Units] deadeye920:
What dongle are you using?
[FYT Android Head Units] dhbiker:
it is this:

OBD Scanner

The ultimate tool for monitoring, diagnostics, virtual dash for '92-'01 Honda OBD.

www.hondash.net

specific to older honda cars
[FYT Android Head Units] dhbiker:
@ziddey we can continue here... because that topic is not entirelly for that

I have changed the sys.fyt.bluetooth_type to 0 in config.txt

much closer... the app can see the dongle but the error message is : read failed socket closed

as if the app is not permitted to directly connect to the dongle

any hints maybe ?

and thanks for the info up untill now !
[FYT Android Head Units] deadeye920:
I suggest you try a dongle designed for these android headunits.
[FYT Android Head Units] dhbiker:
not sure what you mean by that... it works on a phone since it was made for monitoring ECU data from an android phone
[FYT Android Head Units] deadeye920:
I understand it worked on an android phone but you’re having problems with it. The EKIY t900 isn’t locked like the Teyes so that isn’t the issue so the issue must be compatibility with your dongle and the headunit. So for process of elimination I would suggest getting a dongle marketed for these units.
