Pixel 6/6 Pro's fingerprint reader stops working if the battery hits 0%

10 November 2021
Several users report this issue, but the good news is that it's not permanent - the bad news is that fixing it is a hassle.

Another day, another Pixel 6 series issue.

It's like a gift that keep on giving. But instead of gift it's problems. 🤣

    The phone still works if battery life is reduced to 0%? How is this possible?

Brands should give a toggle to turn off updates permanently. The last update broke the sound for me.

                          They could use a better title 😂

                            Folks shouldn't be discharging it to 0% a lot in the first place. Do the 80-40 rule. If you can't, still charge it as often as you can but shallow charges. Or don't use it when below 20%.

                            With that said, Google brought out a half-baked Android 12 that really wasn't ready for prime time. They rushed it.

                                Lol people still willingly want updates in 2021?

                                once I'm on a software version that's stable I never update

                                Lol people still think getting years of updates is a feature to desire

                                Updates now are malware in disguise from or a bag of bugs

                                      It's not a Pixel if its bug free. Btw I'm also facing bugs on my Vivo phone after the last software update. Software bugs are now part of daily issues we face. It's like manufacturers don't test their phones enough or give them for testing to the novice before launch. Experienced bug hunters should be hired by OEMs to rigorously test the software before making the phones publicly available for purchase.
