Some Android device users are facing a concerning issue where their phone batteries are draining rapidly, even when the devices are not in use. This problem seems to have emerged following a recent software update rollout. Reports have surfaced on various forums, indicating that users are now having to charge their phones multiple times a day just to maintain battery levels.
Google’s Pixel phone lineup appears to be among the devices impacted by this battery drain bug. The tech giant has acknowledged the issue and is actively working on a solution.
Affected devices include the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel 7A, according to sources.
The problem, as identified by 9to5Google, seems to stem from excessive CPU wakeups, causing the phone to run continuously in the background even when idle.
Users like Phil and Fz have shared their frustrations, noting severe battery drain issues on their Pixel phones post the recent updates. However, some users like Warren have reported no noticeable battery problems on their Pixel devices.
Google is expected to address this issue promptly with an update. Updates on this matter will be provided as new information becomes available.
