Weird Pixel 6 / Android 13 Behaviour

[evenflow]

I have a Pixel 6 running Android 13 and it's misbehaving:

The alarm goes off, but only vibrates - no sound. I've checked all the settings multiple times but no dice.
Images in WhatsApp chats are blurred until I click on them.
Instagram and Twitter videos will not play - just get the spinning wheel like they are buffering.
Maps keeps crashing.

I've restarted, cleared app cache etc but nothing seems to help. This is fast becoming an expensive paperweight...

Oh, and also...

The camera fires up but won't take pictures.
The notification sounds don't play.

A restart fixes all of the above, for about 10 minutes.

Afraid I can't offer any help - but thanks for the heads up. I'll stick with 12 on my 6a for a while.

The WhatsApp thing is a setting that you can select so that pictures don't download automatically on your phone taking up hard drive, if your the type of person to get lots of pics/memes etc it can easily take up space.

On the other issues I'm not sure, mines a 5 on Android 13 and runs fine.

Maybe contact Google support for help, it may need a reset or something might have gone wrong during installation.

Try restarting in 'safe mode' and see if the problem(s) still occur.

That's normally the first thing Google ask you to do.

Nice one, thanks all. Will try safe mode first...
