Spotted this.

If it applies seems it's a self inflicted by Google charging fault :banghead:

Thanks @jjraak

I have that same thing with Apple. My iPad will not charge unless it is the official iPad lead and plug. No generic lead nor plug will charge my iPad. The iPad says device not recognised.

With this Pixel phone I have only ever used the charger and lead that came with it. It has a C connector.

I cleaned the connection but no fluff came out.

Now I am trying, with the Pixel phone, a so called compatible (with correct specs) generic charger with lead which I got from Amazon a couple of years ago as a back up. But never used yet. Something is happening, phone is trying to charge, but phone keeps starting to start but then goes black screen again.

If I get this phone restarted I am never letting it run down again....

Thanks for looking for me.

Morning all on somewhat of a groundhog day here in L.A. - and this is meant to be one of the driest areas of the country. Like a metaphor for the national mood these days. Even the weather seems to have given up all pretence these days. Rudimental my dear Watson. Don't think any regular here is living through Ramadan but for all that are - especially in Gaza and other war torn zones - thoughts and prayers with you. @dunelm thank you for sharing what I choose to see as a life giving waterfall. Glad the funeral went as well as they can and the extended family is expecting a new member. My ears still hurt from hearing an elderly man/life coach/motivational speaker tie himself in knots trying to give younger people life advice by making a distinction between a choice and a decision. I now fully understand the phrase word salad. Four grandchildren/great grandchildren to collect and feed later so both cars and 3 child car seats, get there and park up early with a travel mug of tea/coffee are needed.The trade off is ineffable love :woot: :woot: If y'all feel an even remotely similar blessing today I'm so pleased for you. Heaven in the ordinary - not complicated.

An eclectic mix....nice

Although a solemn affair, good to meet up with the more distant family.

The circle of life, indeed.

Congrats to niece .

And a riot of colours in that painting.

Likey likey... :cool:

Thank you @jjraak - Interesting that I only used three pigments which when sprinkled onto wet paper split into so many colours.

My android pixel phone is not charging up this morning, dead as a doornail... the lead and plug are charging up other things, but not my phone. I'll give it a new lead and plug and leave it to sit for awhile. Ignore it.

All I can think of is what about my WhatsApp messages. I know they are backed up by Google but you need to get back on the device it was backed up on, don't you?

Creative...a drawing from the cafe again, fortunately I had transferred the pixel phone drawings to my iPad mini.

Will I need a new phone? I am being upgraded with my cochlear speech processor later this year, and I would need a phone that is compatible with the cochlear speech processor for the app, the remote, and streaming etc. There are two options and one is very expensive...

I so badly need a nap now, so a cup of tea and I'm going to have a sleep and then the world will be so much better...

Have your best day for you...

I have whats App connected to my IPad using This - I think you need to have your phone working mind for it to blue tooth over. Another smashing sketch.

Me, me’s and myself would like to say good morning all, but…

Mrs J and myself were discussing facial recognition and the fact that Mrs J uses it on her tablet thingy.
It’s ok to think “ and the camera still works after you’ve used facial recognition “, but it’s not wise to say it out loud.

Mrs J has informed me the ambulance is on its way and apparently I fell down the stairs. I consider myself lucky, Mrs J has a kill at a glance chip installed, but refrained from using it today, perhaps Mrs J is saving me for another day.

As for blood sugars this morning, well it looks like most of my blood is on the floor.

I normally end on the phrase stay safe all, I wish I had…..

You can pay good money for such treatment in certain establishments @alf_Josiah and here is you, getting it all for free.

I've reviewed my initial reply and now wonder if this is more appropriate - btw, who is that guy anyhow? If you were serious gentle hugs.

Have you fell for Mrs J Again?
Hope there is no damage done................ to the floor?
 
6.6 on this rainy, cold water hogs day.
it is supposed to be warming up.
I think the weather gods have forgotten us........again!

Footie evening tonight hoping not to see the in form top of the league giving us a bit of a hiding!
But a chance to catch up with a few of the grandkids again.F

Mrs L is having a quiet day after yesterday's announcement that we are going to get sister's for New Year.
That is after declaring at the weekend that it was her birthday and that is why the clan were around to bring pressies.
And asking how I did at the quacks?
if I'm confusing anyone, please, this is my life now!
Rip up a calendar and goes the paper in the air and pick one.

curry for evening meal to warm my cockles before venturing into the dark and dangerous suburbs. Actually only a few minutes walk, it is lit up actually brighter than daytime at the moment.
Best be goneB

My best wishes to you all as always.

It puts our little health concerns in the shade: we have just heard that a friend who is a missionary in Africa, and who lost his also missionary wife to cancer 2 years ago, is back home and undergoing radiotherapy treatment for cancer of some sort. What are a few aches and pains compared to that?

Also just heard that Em is ill again. Started with a cough and a rash developed this morning. It seems to look like measles but she was given the MMR vaccine when she was small, so it shouldn't be.

Hope Am is OK @Annb
 
Finally got Pixel phone recharged.
Took the charger out.
Within 20 mins or so the phone battery power went down to 75%.
Back in went the charger lead.
I need a new battery, or a new phone...
A friend suggested a small back street computer repair shop where I could get one put in for under £50...they do have good reviews...but... I don't know...
In the meantime it will have live permanently connected to electricity.
And I will do @dunelm's suggestion tonight of getting the WhatsApp linked on my iPad...Thanks.

I'll have to see if it will connect to a battery pack to go in my bag tomorrow. There were several important text messages from my bank, and from pharmacy saying my prescription is ready for collection...etc.

I thought I had charged it up yesterday evening, and I had, but the battery had emptied as fast as an egg timer during the night...

Just a thought @gennepher - check push notifications perhaps - something like; Settings > Notifications (or Apps & notifications) > App notifications - see if they are eating your battery power and if so perhaps limit some.

She seems to be improving already and the rash is fading so it probably isn't measles. Maybe a reaction to something or other, but then the question is ... reaction to what? The problem of allergies and intolerances comes from both sides of the family. Alistair doesn't appear to have any problems but I do and Neil most definitely does and her Mum goes into anaphylactic shock if exposed to a fair number of things.

Thanks @dunelm
Good idea.
I'll have a look in a minute.

One thing that does eat battery power is the cochlear implant remote. The phone is always warning on that, but I need it running, and that connects to other apps that I need to use.

But given the state of this Pixel phone battery I will have to see what I can shut off with that. And go over to iPad mini for the moment...

EDIT: Shut all notifications off bar WhatsApp & Texts ... They are the only important ones - thanks for the hint @dunelm

Good you got it working again, Genn.

If it's of any use, switching off WiFi & running in flight mode will let it charge faster and once off flight mode all that's running is apps you have approved or have sneakily given themselves access rights/permissions.

Maybe once off line hunt the new apps of recent months to see which if any are using excess permissions ?

My guess is one of your sketch / paint types is using up battery ...but it's only a guess .
