The cause of this bug is unknown so far, but the Google developers have at least admitted that the bug is known. Besides, a fix is supposed to be coming. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The Battery Indicator Bug<\/h2>\n<p>Actually, the battery display of a smartphone should always show the correct charge level of the battery. Otherwise, it is never possible to tell whether the device battery is empty or 100 full after a charging process. Google Pixel 5 has a problem with this function &#8211; occasionally the device displays house numbers there. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/thread\/78954066?hl=en&amp;msgid=79027407\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Google forum entry<\/a> from October 25, 2020 describes the situation:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pixel 5 battery getting stuck at random numbers<\/p>\n<p>Hi,  <\/p>\n<p>I have been using the Pixel 5 for just 2 days and today I observed that my battery percentage got stuck while charging at 67% and plugging it again and restarting fixed it. Later on after a full charge, it was stuck at 100%. After multiple restarts it started showing the right value again. This keeps happening at times. Contacted the support and waiting for response. Anyone with similar issue? :\\<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The affected person says , the battery indicator stops at 67%. Restarts the device only solve the problems temporarily. This error is then confirmed by other users, although there are funny things. One user writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I've been having the same issue. Not so much on the discharging but on the charging. Today is an example, I plugged it in around 19%, I checked it later it was at 29% and then I went for a walk, left the phone on the charger. I came back 30 minutes later and it said 35%&#8230; Huh? Even after unplugging it did not change. I restarted the phone and it showed 92% when it started. Obviously something going on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The battery incicator value of the affected person jumps back and forth between any values. <\/p>\n<h2>The developers are aware if the issue<\/h2>\n<p>Based on these forum posts, a Google employee (ScottG_TC) <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/pixelphone\/thread\/78954066?hl=en&amp;msgid=79182193\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">confirmed<\/a> that the problem was known and was being worked on. <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The team is aware of this issue and a fix will be rolling out soon in a future Android update.&nbsp; Your battery is charging, but the indicator may be stuck.&nbsp; If you restart your phone and plug it into the charger again, the battery level should quickly rise to the correct level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So let's see, when the bug will be fixed by an update.
