One theory is that these chargers may have caused a \u201cbrief communication or calibration error\u201d between the battery\u2019s management system and the Pro Fold\u2019s software, leaving the device unsure of its actual charge level.<\/p>\n<p>The author of the Reddit post also suggested their issue was a software bug, as they had to reboot their device to restore the battery percentage.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/pixel-fold-battery-question-mark-icon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Android Police\u00a0noted<\/a> that some users in the Reddit thread are warning about more serious issues tied to the question mark, including those who claim their phones fully bricked after the battery question mark appeared.<\/p>\n<p>Although the issue has mainly affected Pixel 10 Pro Fold devices, users of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold have also noticed the same question mark beside the battery icon. One user who had the same issue contacted Google Support and received a replacement device after the device had completely died after just over a year.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson from Google who spoke to\u00a0Android Central\u00a0confirmed that the correct fix for the issue is to reboot the device, alongside switching to a Qi2-certified charger to charge the device.<\/p>\n<p>Google isn\u2019t the only company facing this issue, as Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Ring<a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2025\/10\/10\/swollen-galaxy-ring-battery-hostpitalized-a-man-after-it-got-stuck\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> hospitalized a man<\/a> after the battery started swelling and became stuck on his finger.<\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/google-pixel\/pixel-10-pro-fold-users-have-been-noticing-a-strange-battery-bug\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Central<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/pixel-fold-battery-question-mark-icon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Police\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>MobileSyrup may earn a commission from purchases made via our links, which helps fund the journalism we provide free on our website.
