Play Store starts listing games supporting Android 12’s Game Dashboard for Pixel 6
9To5Google
One of the feature additions in Android 12 is Game Dashboard, as Google recommend game developers to take advantage of the API, more and more developers are starting to implement it and available games are showing in a new section called "Optimised for Pixel 6."
Below the section title, it shows a small wording “Boost performance or save power,” which hints that in the Gaming Dashboard, you can choose the priority gameplay for peak performance or longer battery life. Players can check it in the "Optimisation" tile, and it present three options:
• Performance: Maximizes frame rate
• Standard: Uses the game’s defaults
• Battery Saver: Extends battery life
Currently, there are a few games that have implemented the API, and you can check out the list in the article if you are interested. Also, Game Dashboard seems to be available on selected Android 12 devices as Google said.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro receiving mysterious November update from Google
9To5Google
UPDATE: The new update apparently fixed the fingerprint scanner issue.
November security patch arrived as usual for all Pixels a few week ago but Google is releasing another update for the Pixel 6 mysteriously.
Google released new builds for both phone with global and Verizon variants, with the build number slightly bump from .36 > .37, which should be a minor update. Google hasn't made any public announcement about it, and the changelog is also unknown. The updater on the device isn't asking users to update as reported from 9To5Google.
Download:
• Pixel 6: Factory Images (Verizon) | OTA (Verizon)
• Pixel 6 Pro: Factory Images (Verizon) | OTA (Verizon)
*Build Number: SD1A.210817.037 (.A1 for Verizon)

You won't be able to charge your Pixel 6 with a low quality USB-C cable
9To5Google
If you are wondering why you can't charge your Pixel 6 with some of the old available cables you are using for a while, it probably because it isn't PD supported, which Pixel 6 will refuse to charge.
In a Google support forum, many people reporting that they faced the same issue, which their old cables can charge other phones but not their Pixel 6. The original poster said he had tried out 20 chargers but none of them work. After a few days, he realised chargers that are PD supported will charge the Pixel 6 properly.
Google actually did mention in their support page that "other Android cables and power adapters might not work with Pixel phones." One Googler explained in the forum that the battery would have drain at the same rate when charging with it, hence damaging the battery health. Anyway, It's just too bad that Google isn't shipping any charger in the Pixel 6 box.

You can unlock select BMWs with Pixel 6 or Galaxy S21
9To5Google
Digital car key is becoming a reality, you can unlock your BMW car with just your Pixel 6 or Galaxy S21 starting today.
For now at launch, you need to take the phone and tap on the car door in order to unlock it, as the NFC method is the only available for now. Soon it will use UWB technology to unlock it and this won't require you to take out the phone from your pocket or bag. Pixel 6 Pro actually features an Ultra-Wideband chip, but for now it not operational.
Digital car key support is available in several countries. You can check out the full list in the articles, because that's a lot of it. The digital car key can be used with compatible 2020 and 2022 BMW vehicles.

GrapheneOS for Pixel 6 Update
GrapheneOS for Pixel 6 status changed to experimental
GrapheneOS support for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro is now marked experimental instead of highly experimental. Our official web installer no longer disables support for installing on them so you don't need to use the web installer from our staging site: https://grapheneos.org/install/web
Please be aware of the known limitations before installing:
1) GrapheneOS kernel features aren't ported yet. Most of these are under the hood privacy and security features. A few user-facing features such as disallowing new USB peripherals when locked by default won't work yet.
2) Modern APN and CarrierConfig databases aren't bundled yet. AOSP carrier support is limited and outdated. You'll often need to manually configure APNs and features like VoLTE often won't work yet. This should be implemented in the next couple days. It's not a large change.
3) Under display fingerprint reader isn't supported yet. Experimental implementation has been made but we won't be bundling it in the OS yet. It will likely be a week or two until it's supported. We recommend simply using a random 6 digit PIN for your everyday use profile anyway.

Google Pixel 6 seems to have random signal loss issue
Android Police
The Pixel 6 didn't have a great start. unregistered fingerprints have chances of unlocking your phone, ghost dialing but that fixed, screen flickering and minor display issues. Welp, issues just keep popping up for Pixel 6 owners, and the latest issue is randomly losing mobile network service.
Many people on Reddit reported similar issue, which the phone kept losing carrier network service randomly. Back in November there already a Google support thread and around 100+ affected users has replied to the thread.
Some users that own older Pixel devices also reported after they have updated their Pixel phone to Android 12 and they faced similar issue, but majority reports are still coming from Pixel 6 owners though.
Some users pointed out that turning off Google’s Adaptive Connectivity feature could potentially fixed the issue, and those users who performed said it seems to be working, with some saying it not working for them.
Currently it unclear what's stuff is causing the issue, hopefully Google could solve the issue with a software update as soon as possible.
