Overview
- Multiple Pixel owners reported that after the November Feature Drop their Camera app showed a black viewfinder or an error and wireless charging displayed as connected but did not raise battery percentage.
- A simple full shutdown left powered off for about five minutes has restored camera function for some affected Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 devices, but the fix does not work for all users.
- Common troubleshooting steps such as reboots, cache clears, safe mode, factory resets and charger swaps often did not fix the wireless charging issue while wired (cable) charging continued to work as a reliable fallback.
- Users have also posted problems with Desktop Mode audio and dock behavior, always-on display and lock-screen anomalies, notification shade glitches, accidental pocket touches and a screensaver dimming bug.
- Google has not confirmed the update as the cause or offered a timeline for a patch, and forums and support threads remain the main source of reports with the issue currently limited in scope but growing in visibility.
