In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of the Pixel device crashing after being connected to a Bluetooth device on Android 12. One of the major USP of the offering from the Silicon Valley giants is that their devices behold a clean and stock Android ecosystem bereft of unnecessary bloatwares. And since both the OS as well the Pixel lineup are coming from the same company, it seems to be a no-brainer that the OS would be best optimized for these devices.
However, all these only seem to be justified on paper. In reality, things are a tad bit different. Right after users got hold of the latest iteration of Android, their devices were bugged with a plethora of issues. And the flagships were the ones to suffer the most. To rectify these issues, the Search Engine giants rolled out a December update that asserted that it had addressed most of these bugs. While the update was two weeks behind schedule for the flagships, but it isn’t worth complaining about if it does its job.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case either. After installing the December OTA, Pixel 6/Pro users had to go through network disconnection issues and even the tech enthusiasts had a hard time retaining root (though we can’t blame Google for that). While the dust surrounding these issues was about to settle, there has just been another unwanted entry to this list. Various users have voiced their concern over the Google Support Forum that their Pixel is crashing/freezing after connecting it to a Bluetooth device.
In this regard, restarting the device does manage to rectify this issue, however, the respite is only temporary. So what else could be done? Well, there does exist a workaround that has managed to fix the issue of the Pixel device crashing after being connected to a Bluetooth device on Android 12. And in this guide, we will make you aware of just that. So without any further ado, let’s get started.
Fix: Pixel Crashing after Connecting to Bluetooth in Android 12
While the issue is no doubt quite infuriating, its fix is surprisingly easy to execute, and more surprisingly, the fix is quite strange, to say the least. In order to rectify this issue, all that you need to do is just update the Google App and all the other apps from Google that are installed onto your device.
While the correlation between this fix and the underlying issue doesn’t seem be joining the dots, but since it does its job, let’s put it to the test right away. In this regard, you could manually update all the Google apps on your device, but that calls for quite a lot of effort. So here’s a nifty approach that you could opt for to carry out this task.
- Launch Play Store and tap on your profile situated at the top right.
- Then select Manage apps and Devices from the menu.
- After that, go to the Manage tab and make sure that the first filter is set to Installed.
- Likewise, select the Updates Available filter as well.
- It will now bring a list of all the apps whose updates are available.
- Select all the apps from Google and then tap on the Update button situated at the top right.
- Now, wait for all these apps to be updated. Once done, restart your device and the issue should be rectified.
