Hi everyone i'm facing this problem since july now, the issue is that the pixel 3 usb-c port works only with charge and nothing else, that means it doesn't work with pixel buds, doesn't work with other headphones with jack adapter, no OTG devices work, and finally PC connection wont work either.
I've tried everything possible from cleaning the port to factory resetting the phone, with no results.
Online there are few google forum threads about the problem but without any fix, so i've tried to RMA from google but even if i have still warranty, i should have paid 106€ cause my back glass cover is broken. Since i didn't want to pay that much to fix the back i bought the usb-c port replacement and i fixed it myself, i thought it would have fix it but surprisingly it didn't and i have still the same issue so working charge but no any other usb-c connection.
At this far i'm thinking it's a software problem but even Android 11 with last october patch didn't solved it , still the same: usb preferences greyed out when connecting to a PC ( tried different PC: Windows 10, Windows 7 and even Linux) same result.
Update:
I have more evidences which lead to this point, a few days ago i tried to connect my Pixel C to the laptop to transfer some files and it is suddenly showing the same problem of the Pixel 3, i have to state that the Pixel C was running an Android 9 ROM so it fits perfectly in all the reported issues about it precisely that the problem pops out since Android 9 and there seems not to be any fix for this even in the last Android 11 patch.
