Pixel User Stops Missed Calls for 1 Week by Changing Adaptive Battery, Call Screen Settings

2 articles · Updated · Android Police · Jul 12

Summary

  • 1 Pixel user said missed calls stopped for a week after turning off Adaptive Battery and adjusting Phone app notifications and Call Screen settings.
  • Recent Pixel software updates appear to have triggered intermittent calling bugs, with some users unable to make calls and others getting no incoming-call alerts.
  • Adaptive Battery can delay notifications, while silent incoming-call settings, Scam Detection and stricter Call Screen thresholds may also block or mute legitimate calls.
  • A ring-vibration reset has fixed similar issues before, and keeping Android updated remains the main path to any official Google fix, which has not yet been acknowledged.
