How are you supposed to keep using such phones? 🤔

After upgrading my #Pixel6a from #LineageOS 23 to LineageOS 23.2, I am unable to obtain #root using the usual method via #Magisk. It results in trying to boot to fall back to fastboot mode.

I am thinking of downgrading to LineageOS 23, but that will involve losing the data partition and thus having to reconfigure the whole device.

Any ideas are welcome about how to overcome this issue. 🙏

Shout-out @iFixit for their wonderful #pixel6a battery replacement kit and instructions.

My wife's phone was one of those that google throttled down because of problematic batteries.

I bought the kit from #ifixit, and, following their step by step instructions, I was able to open the phone, remove the battery, stick in the new battery, and put everything together (the shaped glue tape is fantastic). It took 2-3 hours, not easy, I have to say.

And it works, which I doubted until the end (because of low trust in my abilities, not quality of stuff)

My phone instead is a Fairphone 4... Battery replacement is... 1 minute. I can probably do it with 1 hand, blindfolded 😁

Anyone interested in #Pixel6a with #GrapheneOS pre-installed? I'm selling mine for 2500 CZK (€100) + shipping.

If you'd like to try GrapheneOS on something cheaper before committing to it with a more expensive phone, this is a great option. It's what I did and happily used the phone for almost a year. It has a surprisingly good camera for the price.

Пускаю клич по всему феди
На руках есть pixel 6a. Прошлый владелец вероятно не зарядил телефон при ота обновлении и он брикнулся. Есть cow партиции, они не пустые, б слот анбутабл, а слот на котором сейчас не загружается конечно же из-за коррупт системы. Ни рескью ни рекавери не работает конечно, загрузчик залочен.

Может у кого есть опыт по анбрику? Пиксель анлок тул был как вариант но он схлопнулся...

Sending a shout-out to the Fedi. I have a Pixel 6a on hands. The previous owner likely didn't charge the phone during an OTA update, so it bricked. There are COW partitions present and not empty, slot B is unbootable, and the current slot A won't load, obviously due to system corruption. Neither Rescue nor Recovery works, of course, and the bootloader is locked. Does anyone have unbricking experience with this? Pixel Unlock Tool was an option, but it’s dead now...

Wir schreiben den 20. November 2025 und der Sicherheitspatchlevel vom Google #Pixel6a ist noch immer auf dem Stand vom September 2025. Was ist da los #Google 😠 #thenetcasts

Heute habe ich eine Email von Amazon wegen meines Pixel 6a Telefons bekommen. Hintergrund sind Probleme mit dem Akku. 🔋🔥

Auf folgender Google-Seite findet man eine Menge Infos dazu:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/16340779?hl=de

Dort findet man auch einen Link zu einer weiteren Seite, wo man anhand der IMEI testen kann, ob das eigene Pixel 6a betroffen ist. Leider muss man sich mit einem Google-Konto anmelden.

Glücklicherweise scheint mein Gerät nicht betroffen zu sein. 😌

Mein Pixel 6a läuft jetzt reibungslos mit GrapheneOS 🖤
​
Der Web-Installer hat das Aufsetzen eigentlich einfach gemacht. Das zurückgesetzte Pixel 6a kurz per USB an eine VirtualBox VDI mit Windows 11 weitergereicht – und zack, fertig 🫶

GrapheneOS hat klare Vorteile bei Datenschutz und Sicherheit 🛡️, bietet ​ mehrere Ebenen der Härtung, Sandboxen für Apps und ein Fokus auf die Minimierung der Angriffsfläche 🏹

@nocci Find gerade tatsächlich einiges über den #pixel6a-Hashtag zu dem Prob 👍sind welche in Brand geraten 🙊

Nach dem Update meines #Pixel6a mit #grapheneos ploppte plötzlich nach dem Reboot folgendes auf (siehe Screenshit). 🙊🙉 Hat das auch wer von euch auch das Prob?

Gxxgle bietet mir jetzt an: 100 € Cash, 150 € Gutschein für den Gxxgleshop oder kostenloser Akkutausch. Musste dafür natürlich nen Gxxgleaccount erstellen 🫣

Werde mein Glück wohl mit dem Akkutausch versuchen 🤔

Aktuell regelt #Android jetzt die Akkukapazität per Software runter um eine Überhitzung zu verhinden.

Aussie Pixel 6a owners: The big G is coughing up the money.

They've just given us a third option, which is a free repair. I stuck with Option 2. I've already had my battery fixed by a third party repairer and this payment more than covers it. Happy days.

Hoy, en cosas que me han pasado este verano: móvil nuevo.

Resulta que fui uno de esos "afortunados" a los que le tocó uno de esos móviles que pueden explotar cuando les cargas: un Pixel 6a defectuoso. Yo ya sospechaba que le pasaba algo desde que lo compré, a través de la tienda de Google (este detalle es importante), porque se calentaba demasiado al usar el GPS o al hacer videollamadas, por ejemplo.

Google me envió un correo en el que me decía básicamente que reconocían el fallo, y me daban la siguiente "solución" en tres sencillos pasos:

1 - Lanzarían una actualización del firmware para evitar que la batería se recalentase y que pudiera explotar durante la carga. A cambio la batería reduciría notablemente su velocidad de carga y, sobre todo (lo peor) su capacidad total.

2 - Me recomendaban cambiar de batería y, me decían, además que "algunos clientes pueden optar por un cambio de batería gratuito, según la ubicación y la disponibilidad", lo cual tampoco me daba mucha garantía, pero estaba bien saberlo.

3 - Me ofrecían la posibilidad de cambiar mi móvil por otro Pixel con un descuento adicional de 150$ (convertidos a euros) o... Recibir un pago de 452$ sin tener que comprarle un móvil nuevo a Google. Difícil decisión, ¿verdad? 😜

Ugh, #Google's latest update for the #Pixel6a seems to have bolloxed apps' understanding of what part of the phone screen can be interacted with. I've got navigation buttons hiding behind the front-facing camera now. 🙄

taking my phone to the shop, turns out I'm one of my lucky owners of a #Pixel6a that may or may not explode because overheat or failure

Of course I ain't buying another phone because mine is almost brand new (from 2022) - I rather catch fire that having an unplanned purchase like that.
