Google Pixel phones hit by issues after November update: screensaver can no longer enter low-brightness mode

IT之家 November 15 news: according to a report the day before yesterday by tech media outlet Android Authority, the large November update Google rolled out for Pixel series phones appears to have caused multiple faults. According to feedback from a number of users, the screensaver displayed while their phones charge no longer dims automatically.

IT之家 learned from the original report that the screensaver on Google Pixel series phones allows the screen to dim automatically, and users can set it to activate only while charging, while the phone is placed upright and charging, or only while wirelessly charging. Considering that many people are in the habit of charging their phones at night, the screensaver's accompanying low-light mode is a fairly practical feature.

However, many users have said on the Google support forums and Reddit that after installing the November update, their phones' screensavers can no longer enter low-brightness mode. Some users further found that even manually lowering the brightness does not solve the problem, because the screen brightness gradually returns to its original level.

As of now, Google has not responded to the matter.
