Pixel Buds 2 Users Facing Audio Cutout Issues


Pixel Buds 2 Users Facing Audio Cutout Issues 

By Techtonic group

Google launched the long-awaited Pixel Buds 2 last month at $179. Within a month's period, Google's support threads and a bunch of Reddit posts are getting filled up with random audio drop issues of the company's latest truly wireless earbuds.

According to Pixel Buds 2 users, the earbuds are suffering from audio cutouts while performing basic activities like walking around and jogging - the use-cases companies pitch to get users on board the wireless freedom hype-train. Some users are allegedly facing Bluetooth pairing issues as well.

"I noticed that if I touched the left earbud or moved my head too much, it would cut out. I tried running with them and they were unusable, the left bud cutting in and out the whole time (or going completely silent). When it did work, it was like a half second behind the right one. I tried holding the phone in my hand, next to the earbuds, in my pocket, nothing helped. They did finally update the firmware on them, and I feel like the cutting in and out got worse.", wrote a Reddit user.

From what it looks like, this is certainly not the experience one would expect from a huge tech giant like Google. The Pixel Buds 2 was supposed to rectify all the issues of the infamous original Pixel Buds and make Google's TWS offering mainstream. It is indeed surprising how the Pixel Buds 2 is facing such issues despite being announced several months earlier.

Google recently released a firmware update (version 295) for the Pixel Buds 2 but that hasn't reportedly solved the issue either. We could expect the software giant to release an update in the coming weeks to address the rising concerns of Pixel Buds 2 users.

Google Play Store May Reinstate 'Mitron', But Not 'Remove China Apps'

Google Play Store May Reinstate 'Mitron', But Not 'Remove China Apps' By techtonic group Viral indigenous social media app,  Mitron , may be reinstated on the Play Store soon. After removing the app earlier this week from the Play Store, Google now says that the developer needs to addresses certain issues if they want to resubmit the app for consideration.  "We’ve given this developer some guidance and once they’ve addressed the issue the app can go back up on Play" , said Sameer Samat, Vice President, Android and Google Play, in an official blog post. However, some of the other recently-removed apps, including ' Remove China Apps ', may not be so lucky. Without naming any particular app, Samat said that Play Store policies explicitly prohibit any software that  "encourages or incentivizes users into removing or disabling third-party apps .... unless it is part of a verifiable security service" . So basically, while Mitron might s...
