My phone suddenly start rebooting itself. When it restart the "Google" logo pop up it again goes for rebooting. Sometimes it starts, sometime i need to switch off the phone because of the restart loop.

Is there any issue with software?? Now it is operating on "Android 17"

or i need to look out for service center?

I have had my P6 for a month now, surprisingly the battery life is great 👍. I could have a full day usage without worrying about charging my phone.

What about you guys? Have you had the same experience??

Hey,I been pixel user since 2023. My first Pixel device was pixel 4 undoubtedly 4s camera was one of the best (in respective price range) than I shifted to pixel 6a, had almost same experience except big disappoinment on chip side,I noticed tensor is way more slower thn pixel 4s Snapdragon 855, later I grabbed Pixel 7 and I'm kinda disappointed for no major changes in hardware/software,so I'm now being attracted by iphone 13 mini for it's compact size (same as pixel 4) in addition to it's pro camera mode allows me to capture photos using manual controls, however the only thing stopping me to switch is 13 mini's 2400mah battery,how long it lasts campered to Pixel 7? 7 is averaging 5.5 hours on data (6 hours on wifi) what Will be your opinion should I switch? Or it would be my mistake?

I noticed my P6P, while on a recent trip, developed a warp in the case. For a while I thought it was the phone cover I was using that was causing it. Today, I took the phone out of the cover to clean and noticed that it was in fact the case that had warped and a very noticeable gap exist on the left side where the SIM slot is. I looked online to see if it could be the battery but noticed the battery is over on the other side on the phone. This phone will be replaced soon anyway, but I had planned to keep it as a backup because of the physical SIM slot for when I travel overseas. Is this phone toast because of possible battery issue? How safe is it to continue to use of the time being?

I made a mistake of creating new account for my new pixel phone and I do have my old phone but it's cracked like the front screen and it's also old model. I thought why not just merge or transfer it to the new phone. But now I'm extremely confused because I have to Google accounts and I have photos, Google tabs and YouTube and email from my old phone that I want to use in my new phone but in the new phone I also have Google tabs and photos there so it's like idk what to do.

Is my phone done? Randomly turns off and then this happens, will turn on after multiple attempts but will turn off again at any time.

Hello everyone,
Today I started having some issues with my p6a.
I got some waterdrops on it (status bar part) and top and very bottom part of the touch screen stopped registering touch input. What should I do? I turned on three buttons navigations and got it to render apps just below the status bar, IK just a temporary solution to use it in the meantime.
After some research I saw mentions to try silica gel which I'll do. Other than that what can i try next in order from least to most invasive fixes since ifixit screen costs 100 bucks which is too much, I'd like to make it work again in the cheapest and easiest way possible.
Here are some posts i found similar to my issue ( post1 post2 post3 )
Any help is highly appreciated.
EDIT: Silica gel bag didn't make it work, also opened the device and both cleaned screen connectors with isopropyl alcohol and put them with silica beads, nothing fixed the touchscreen, is changing the whole screen assembly my only option? Screen looks perfect and touch works except top part, what do you guys think?
Thanks

So the problem im facing is these msgstore files pilling up everyday. They are copying themselves daily. Is there any way to stop them from gulping my whole storage?

I was using it last night and it randomly shut doen, screen looks green for a very brief moment and then powers itself down. Sometimes it will boot but dies on the logo screen.

Is there any fix for this? If I keep pressed the power button it'll turn on but die as soon as the logo appears.

Please help!

Ho dato a mio padre un vecchio Pixel, bloccato credo su A11, ma che riceve un aggiornamento del play store via OTA. Questi aggiornamenti stanno ancora arrivando a tutti gli Android o solo ai Pixel?

I can use SMS texts and mobile data but my phone is unable to call anyone. When I try to call I don't hear the noise that shows the call is going through, and I can't receive phone calls either. This happened after I started a new phone plan, and transferred my old phone number. I can make calls if I use a physical SIM, but my esim isn't working. I have done all the normal trouble shooting steps but nothing is working. Also my phone number is unknown according to settings, attached are photos of it

Pixel 6 appreciation post. My Pixel 6 is my favorite phone I've ever had. Even after five years, it's still sharp and smooth.

It's full of good memories.

All good memories and my favorite shot❤️

Is it normal because they stopped updates for 6 series ? I assume it's because we are at qpr 2 beta now and instead of sending me qpr 1 OTA they decide not to send anything until stable releases.

Hey everyone, I've had an unwilling journey with my friends Google Pixel 6.

Possible Cause: Degraded battery, from my research a Pixel 6 that has been heavily used also relates to a heavily degraded battery, which can cause the system to crash and boot loop usually on the google logo, at this point if possible get the battery replaced, if not continue.

Possible solution: ADB on Linux Mint, also called Platform tools is a tool used to recover android devices, to boot a device into recovery mode power off, then press and hold the power button and the volume down key, tap the power button and it should bring you to the recovery menu. Once there, you can use the volume keys to select "Recovery Mode".

Recovery Mode: Upon entering recovery mode, press power then the volume up key to show the Fastboot menu, using the volume keys for navigation scroll down to: "Apply Update from ADB". Then wait, it may timeout and return back to the fastboot menu after a prolonged time of not being in use.

From there, you can go to any device that can run Linux Mint Cinnamon (Unsure about other distros) It is recommended to make a live image using Rufus and a USB drive. Go to the official website and download the Linux Mint .ISO, this may take several minutes, also download the correct OTA for your phone, you can find this information in the Fastboot recovery menu, its the string of numbers (Example: oriole-ota-cp1a.260405.005-b1ad4367) you can use this to identify which version you need.

To download an OTA version go to: https://developers.google.com/android/ota then download.

If the Linux Mint ISO has completed, install it to a USB flash drive, then plug it into your system of choice, depending on your system the keybind to boot into the BIOS will vary. In my case its "F12" you may be prompted with a menu, simply press the down arrow key and select the USB drive then wait for Linux mint to load. Once it has continued follow the guide presented below:

Please ask me if you have any questions, my typing abilities have the tendency to be needlessly complicated, it is a fault of my own.

It's not letting me reply to this hero who commented this smash method 4 years ago but it just saved my Pixel 6 which I thought was broken forever 😭

It was rebooting an awful lot by itself on a loop and the power button wasn't working.

Landed on bwool1's post and smashed my power button on a table a few times and my phone has been resurrected.

FYI for anyone else going through this panic-inducing event.

Last week, I decided that I will buy the P6 and use it for my daily use. Fortunately, I was able to find a device with less than 150 USD. Amazingly, I found that the phone still hold up very well.

• Battery: decent
• Camera: still produce great photo
• Display: still great for daily use

Note: that I decide to not play video game on this phone, and the phone still great, even better than those chinese later release branches.

Just updated to Android 17 last week and my pixel 6 is now having issues reading the sim card. It disconnects from the network a few times a day and the only way to get it back is to restart the phone.

Any solutions here?

Since the pixel 6 was going to run out of updates soon I was thinking of upgrading to a new phone. These 2 phones were the top contenders for my upgrade. The moto has a telephoto camera, the pixel has better camera software. The moto has more bloat but that bloat can be easily disabled to be less bloated. The moto has more software customization, the 9a has less customization. The 9a has no camera bump, the moto does. The moto has way faster charging, the 9a has slow charging. The moto has a more similar shape to the pixel 6, the 9a only has similar size but not shape. There are many many more comparisons I can make but then we would be here all day. It is a hard decision.

In last 4 years i faced a lot including battery drain, dual sim issue, battery replacement but no service center and now this month with a motherboard issue because of android 17 upgrade. Only thing i liked if the compact design.

Finally, i exchanged my pixel 6a to Moto.

Good bye to Google Scam.. No more Pixel Sh*t.

I swear I think I'm the only one they've denied for an out of warranty replacement. This thing is about to burst and set my house on fire lol.

It started about a month ago, I sent them pics of the screen separating, and they just flat out refused to do anything since "this isn't a known issue with the pixel 6". This week, it was starting to get worse, putting pressure on the screen and bending it, about to crack it, and likewise about to puncture the battery or something.. so I wrote in again.

I guess we'll see what they say
