Some Google Fi customers are finding that Wi-Fi Calling isn’t working on the Pixel 6 range, but posts on Reddit suggest that in many cases this issue seems to be fixing itself over time, so patience might just be needed here. As the Google Pixel 6 doesn’t come with a charging cable you have to rely on third-party options if the one you pick up isn’t as fast as the minimum 21W speeds the device is capable of then your charging times may take longer than expected. ![]() That said, you might also find that there’s an issue with your power cable. Not so fast chargingĭespite initially saying that Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones could get back up to half-power in 30 minutes thanks to a 30W charging cable (that was sold separately), Google has since confirmed that neither device can actually support 30W charging – instead topping out at around 21W and 23W for the base and Pro models respectively.Īs such if you’re used to using a phone that supports faster rates of charging then you may feel the Pixel 6’s battery refills at a snail’s pace by comparison. On top of that, a January 2022 software update included "general improvements for Adaptive brightness response in certain conditions" which might hopefully mean it learns your habits less intrusively. Seemingly this is a result of the auto brightness algorithm learning how bright you like your phone, so if you manually adjust your brightness when it shifts to a level that you’re not happy with then it should eventually learn how you want it. Some users on Reddit are also reporting that their Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro will keep adjusting its screen brightness, with no change to the environmental lighting. Unfortunately, there’s not yet a permanent fix from Google but we and others have found that the best solution is to restart your phone doing this appears to fix any issues the accelerometer was having and it should start working normally again. Some users complain that the auto-rotate feature – which has the phone’s screen match the vertical or horizontal orientation of the phone – stops working even though it should still be turned on.

While there’s no news on a fix for the greenish tint, Google has acknowledged the flickering (opens in new tab), saying that the issue can happen if you don’t press the power button hard enough to turn the phone on. Users have reported a number of other issues with the screen on the Pixel 6 range too, with some saying that the screen flickers when pressing the power button while the phone is off, and others reporting a green tint to the display. That said, we’d recommend checking if your Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro is using the latest version of Android OS before sending your phone off for repair some users have found that dead pixels have been brought back to life after simply installing a software update. Having dead pixels appear isn’t uncommon for phones – especially if you aren’t careful – and unfortunately, if they’ve appeared on your Pixel 6 your only solution might be to replace the screen. Speaking of getting your phone’s screen repaired, that might be the only solution if you notice clumps of black pixels on your screen. As even Google-approved professionals have had difficulty replacing the screen without issue we’d recommend you don’t attempt any at-home repairs instead, if your phone screen really needs replacing make sure you send it to a good repair shop with a solid track record of fixing Google Pixel 6 smartphones. The only issue that Google has yet to resolve is that getting your screen repaired can cause the fingerprint scanner to stop working too. You might also want to make sure your screen protector isn't causing any issues if you use one, as some protectors can affect the scanner. If you’re having trouble with the scanner first give your phone’s screen a clean and make sure you’re using the right finger and part of your finger – depending on how you performed the calibration it might not recognize your digit if you place it at an angle.
