New issue crops up on Google Pixel
The Google Pixel had created a certain flurry in the smartphone market with its specs and was seen as a serious contender to the iPhone 7. Since its launch, the Google Pixel, users have been reporting of multiple issues with the Google device.
Now, there has been another issue with transfer of files from a Mac to the Google Pixel device have come up. Users have been reporting about the fact that while using the bundled Type-C to USB Type-A adapter, particular files are difficult to transfer to the mobile device.
Google Pixel users have been posting on forums to complain about this newly found issue. According to many users, the problems stems from the Android File Transfer app, which hasn’t been updated since 2012. Even 9to5Mac did some testing of its own and found no issue with the cable. It claims that the dated Android File Transfer is to be blamed.
"I can't get Android File Transfer to work to my Pixel. I have been using it with my Galaxy S3 without trouble. But with the Pixel, I am told it won't work with the screen locked - that I am to unplug it, unlock the screen, and then plug it in again. But the screen is unlocked when I do this," stated one of the affected users.
The problem hasn’t yet reached a majority of users but weirdly affecting particular Pixel users. Google might correct this with a minor update. Previous issues battery shutdowns, interface freezing issues, audio distortion at high volume, and even LTE connectivity issues to name a few.
