Google Slaps 4 Bugs in August Pixel Update

As a part of the August Pixel update, which by all means is pretty minor before we see Android 15, Google provided a list of bugs it took care of. In the latest build for still-supported Pixel devices, Google took aim at boot looping issues, brightness flickering, and general improvements in display performance.

You can see the short list below and the 4 items Google wanted to make sure Pixel owners were aware of. They specifically fixed a screen brightness flickering bug “under certain conditions” that was plaguing the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8, plus the Pixel 8 should see general display improvements and stability. They also fixed a boot looping bug in the Pixel 6 series, while making sure all Pixel devices can switch between users who may or may not have screen locks.

Again, the full list is below.
