Several Android users are facing a concerning issue where their phone batteries are rapidly depleting even when not actively in use. This unexpected drain appears to have started following a recent software update, leading to a surge in complaints on various forums. Users have expressed frustration at having to charge their phones multiple times a day to maintain battery levels.
The problem seems to primarily affect Google’s Pixel phone lineup, with the tech giant acknowledging the issue and working on a solution. Models impacted include the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 8 Pro, and Pixel 7A.
According to reports from 9to5Google, the battery drain issue is believed to be linked to excessive CPU wakeups, causing continuous background operation even when the phone is idle. Users like Phil and Fz have detailed their struggles with rapid battery depletion, slow charging, and drains while the phone is turned off.
Despite widespread complaints, some Pixel users, such as Warren, have not experienced notable battery drain issues. Google is expected to address the problem soon with an update. Further updates on this matter will be provided as new information becomes available.
