Now, Google says a new update (July update <\/a>\u2014 build CP2A.260705.006<\/a>) solves the problem for affected Pixel 10 and Pixel 9 devices, with the tech giant marking the bug as “Fixed”<\/a> in its public issue tracker. An update is also coming for the Pixel 8a and Pixel 9a users, but it won’t arrive until Google’s September Quarterly Platform Release). It’s unclear if Google also plans to also release an update for older devices that are also affected by the issue, including Pixel 7 and Pixel 8 devices.<\/p>\n However, even with this latest fix, some users are still reporting experiencing battery drain problems.

In some cases, users are reporting that their phone’s battery only lasts a few hours, and that when they switch it to airplane mode, their Pixel’s battery life improves drastically.<\/p>\n To be clear, not all users seem to be encountering the issue with their Pixel devices, so while those affected are very vocal about the problem online, it’s unclear how widespread it actually is.
