Pixel 7 phones keep restarting at bad times
Do you get annoyed when your phone suddenly decides to restart by itself? Of course, you do! It’s a common irritation, and right now, some Pixel 7 owners are facing this exact problem. Their phones are restarting unexpectedly, and it’s happening at the most inconvenient moments.
Several Pixel 7 users have reported that their devices are rebooting randomly while they’re on a call. This isn’t just happening once; some are experiencing their phones shutting down and restarting every few minutes. Imagine speaking for three minutes, only for your phone to reset, cutting you off in the middle of your conversation.
It’s incredibly frustrating to be interrupted during an important call. What makes it worse is that after these reboots, the call logs disappear, making it tricky to reconnect with the person you were just talking to.
The trouble seems to be linked specifically to Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 7a models running the Android 16 beta version. The issue is associated with the software build BP22.250103.008. Since this is a beta version, bugs like this are not uncommon.
Fortunately, Google is aware of the problem and has marked it as a high-priority issue to tackle. They’ve promised to work on a solution but haven’t given a timeline for when it might be fixed. In their official response to the complaints, Google stated, “We have shared this with our product and engineering team and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.”
This situation serves as a reminder of the risks involved with using beta software. It’s generally advised not to use beta versions on devices you rely on for daily tasks, as these bugs can really mess up your day. Here’s hoping Google sorts this out quickly so Pixel users can get back to uninterrupted calls.
