Suggest someone that is in contact with Google and Phonak provide this thread’s link to the support folks. Sometimes manufacturers review forums and respond or act. (rarely, but sometimes). Would show them the common phone (Pixel) and more than a single person reporting the same issue.

I have already had a couple of back and forth email communications with somebody named “Giovanna”.
I suggest you all register a complaint!

I have sent a report of my problems to that email address.

As always if you have any more questions let me know and I’ll be glad to help!

I received the quarterly pixel update today and was slightly optimistic that it might contain a fix for this problem. It did not. Just have to hang on. Sad :worried:

I’ve the same issue with my Pixel 6 Pro and phonak audeo life rechargeable.

I’ve referenced all the cases above and the person helping thanked me for this

Here is my case

I am experiencing the same issue with my Samsung Ultra 21 using Android12. Right drains at least 20% faster than left during the course of day. Figured because the blue tooth connection is thru the right. I wear them all day at end if day 6:30-7pm, right right hearing aid 5% left 54%. I hopecit gets resolved soon! I trialed oticon and was as compatible with Android. Phonak works great except for the right losing its charge so quick!

So it seems that the Android 12 battery-drain problem is not confined to Pixel phones.

Therefore definitely an Android 12 problem. Anyone keen to try upgrading now to Android 13 beta?

My Samsung S10 running Android 12 has no battery problem…

Wonderful! upgrades and support are so important.

Very brave of you. However well done. Can you provide a further update in say a weeks time? If all is still going as it should, I will apply the update also. PS how do you go about getting the beta version? Thanks.

I cracked and like Shmuel I updated to Android 13 beta 4. Brilliant. No more excess battery drainage. No other problems for me with the update.

Just an FYI if not mentioned earlier. If your hearing aids are paired to your phone for bluetooth calls the right hearing aid will always pull more power. Typically the hearing aids pair twice (once for the MyPhonak app and once for the BT streaming). The right hearing aid is the default in the initial setup of the hearing aids and is always on as opposed to the LE (low energy) connections for the app). Hope this helps
