Recently we covered the Pixel 6/Pro excessive battery drain after the Android 12 update. Apart from that, the device was already bugged with slow charging issues. To top it all of is the fact that is near about an impossible task in charging these new flagships via any other third-party charger. And now there’s another entry to this list. Various users have voiced their concern that their Pixel device is showing 0% battery status in the notification panel.
In reality, that isn’t really the case as the battery is indeed charged to a certain level. To verify it, they went to Settings > Battery and it is displaying the correct battery percentage there.

So from the Pixel 3 series all the way up to the latest Pixel 6/Pro, all have been a part of this unwanted bug list.

So without further ado, here’s how you could fix the issue of Pixel devices running Android 12 being stuck at 0% charging.
