This update will be the first in a line of feature drop updates for the earbuds, not unlike said &ldquo;drops&rdquo; for Google Pixel smartphones. This means the updates will include features that are interesting and\/or FUN, not just incremental, necessary, or in place for security or privacy purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Google Pixel Buds first big update will appear for users in the month of August, 2020. That&rsquo;s anywhere from 18 to 49 days from now. In ADDITION to feature update action, this update (a firmware update) will quite likely introduce some fixes for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/pixel-buds-updates-promised-to-fix-showstopping-audio-issues-10624199\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">problems that&rsquo;ve cropped up<\/a>&nbsp;since the earbuds were first released.<\/p>\n<p>There was one June update already, aiming to fix a &ldquo;hissing&rdquo; noise that some users experienced in the first few months after the earbuds were first introduced to the public (Generation 2, mind you). It&rsquo;s quite likely Google will also improve connectivity and reliability of connectivity in one way or another &ndash; AFTER the version 296 update from just a few days ago that aimed to fix the static.<\/p>\n<p>The next update will include at LEAST the following fixes for the earbuds:<br \/>&bull; Decrease instances of phone call cut outs<br \/>&bull; Improve autorecovery when one or both earbuds lose connection<br \/>&bull; Improve media playback stability for phones that have software audio encoding<\/p>\n<p>To get an update for Pixel Buds hardware, users will need to connect their buds to a smartphone. That phone needs to have the Pixel Bud app installed and connected to said pair of Pixel Buds. Once a pair of Pixel Buds are connected to an Android (Android 6 or higher), open the official Pixel Bud app and go to Settings &ndash; More Settings &ndash; Firmware Update.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmation on the release of the &ldquo;first important update&rdquo; for Pixel Buds in Augusts comes via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jaymcgregor\/2020\/07\/13\/google-pixels-buds-feature-drop-fix-bluetooth-problems\/#536f367b4ef6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forbes<\/a>&nbsp;where Google provided confirmation to writer Jay McGregor. Per Google, the exact date for the first &ldquo;feature drop&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t confirmed beyond &ldquo;aiming for late August&rdquo;. The details on the features that&rsquo;ll appear are similarly vague.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/pixel-buds-updates-promised-to-fix-showstopping-audio-issues-10624199\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/pixel-buds-updates-promised-to-fix-showstopping-audio-issues-10624199\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/> Chris Burns<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p> Chris Burns<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">Today Google announced the first important update for the Pixel Buds wireless earbuds set.
