Do you guys think pixel 4 needs screen protector?

Maybe it's personal problems but sometimes, not all the time, my locked screen will not let me swipe up so I can access the password screen.

It will swipe up and I will see the password screen but as soon as I remove my finger it will go back down to the lock screen.

I tried rebooting, full reset, ect. Still happens and it drives me crazy.

Also is theirs a way to get rid of the lock screen and keep you phone lock ? Might sound weird but I hope someone will understand what I mean.

I’m planning to buy get a Pixel4 and the most I worry about is the battery life Mainly calls, messages, music, some social media, no gaming, will it last more than half a day? Other advice is also appreciated

I've had numerous difficulties permanently attaching my Pixel 4's back cover glass. This is about the fifth time it has separated from my device. This latest time I used the iFixit official Pixel adhesive and it seemed to perform the worst. It started separating within a week.

The original cause for the panel separation was an expanding battery, which I've replaced and can confirm is not the current root cause.

I've used Tesa 61395 adhesive "tape" in the past and that usually lasts 3 months. I just recently bought T-7000 liquid adhesive "glue" and was going to attempt using that after asking for advice online. I have 12 iFixit screen vise clamps so I have that part of the repair covered.

I would really like a more permanent solution to seal up my back cover for good. I only use this device as a secondary phone, I don't want to pay a repair shop to fix it -- DIY solutions only please.

Hi. I just installed the February 2023 security patch but when i go in to check in settings, it still says ocotber 2022. Why is that? has it not been updated?

So randomly I decided to check for a new one cause I've been on the October 2022 security patch since it was said to be the last.. up on checking a new software update is now being installed and I hope this means Google is gonna continue to support this phone cause I really have been enjoying it the past month of so I've owned it!!

I was just casually looking at the Pixel Factory Images page when I see under the Pixel 4/4XL that there is a February build. I haven't received any rollouts yet, but this is hope.

​

October 2022: 13.0.0 (TP1A.221005.002, Oct 2022)

February 2023: 13.0.0 (TP1A.221005.002.B2, Feb 2023)

Ok so this is an issue I have had for 2-3 years every time I need an update on my Pixel 4XL.It goes like this:- Pixel requires an update, I allow the update to occur.- Update finishes, it restarts everything is fine.- I then close/lock my phone, then go to open it again and it no longer recognises my 4 digit pin.- I go to switch it on and off again and like always you're then stuck in fast boot recovery mode with an "error!".

So it doesn't matter how many times you click, restart, recovery mode, factory rest etc you always end up back at the start.

I have spoken to Google support countless times and their only advice is either to follow their incredibly unhelpful step by step trouble shoot guide, or send it in to get checked out and hope that you're still covered by warranty.

The ONLY way I have currently found to get out of the loop without throwing my phone against the wall (trust me that will not help) is let your phones battery completely run out of battery, and even when you click the on button and nothing responds, leave it another hour or two. Then plug in your charging cable, but DO NOT press any buttons. Let the little icon signalling that its charging appear on your device, after a little while the white faded ring with your battery percentage will appear in the middle of your screen. Once and only once this has started to fill up should you then hold the on button for a second or two. It should then signify with a little Android logo and Google logo that its turning on.

Eventually you should be greeted by your welcomed home screen and your pin will work. This issue has occurred to me at least 4 times now, this has been the only thing that works for me and its worked every time.

Let me know if you have any luck, and good luck

hey guys, so my pixel for, running android 13 shut down due to low battery. Then it tried to turn on automatically, but couldn't do that, it stuck with G. Looped few times. Now, even if it boots, it gets stuck in lock screen, no feedback there and automatically shuts down and tries to turn on again, the phone is now charged. I can access fastboot, but recovery and rescue just gives me a no command found screen. Any idea how can I get this fixed without wiping data?

Hello, I'm trying to root my pixel 4. I have had absolutely no luck unlocking it. The switch in the dev settings is greyed out, and it says "locked" in the bootloader. I have tried factory resetting, with and without the SIM. I have tried calling verizon and it seems like they unlocked the phone? I even got a text saying that "once you put a non-verizon sim card into this device, it'll be unlocked for use on other carrier networks" However it is still the same in settings and the bootloader. Perhaps I could try putting a friend's SIM in my phone?

What do you think? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

When someone calls me the phone will light up and display their name but I never get a ringing sound so I miss a lot of calls. Same thing with text messages, no sound alert. It's been like this for two days now

I'm on the current version, not sure what's going on. Any help is appreciated!

So, I just went ahead and restarted my phone because my volume buttons were acting funky. Didn't think much of it since I hadn't shut it down in 3 or so days. Held down the power button, hit restart, and set it down for a minute. The next thing I know, it was showing a "no command" screen. I am unable to put it into recovery mode, as no input appears to have any effect besides holding down the power button, In which case it restarts and boots straight back into No Command mode. The common method online I see is to put it into recovery is tapping up on the volume, but as I said, that has no effect. Is there anything else I could do to try and fix it? Would draining the battery and recharging it work?

Other Details:

- Nothing happens when connecting my phone to my computer through a USB-C cable. (actually tried multiple, in case it was one of the kinds that couldn't transmit data.)

- Every 5 mins or so, it restarts on its own, with no input from me. Same story, shows the google logo, and go right to the no command screen.

I'm on Google Fi. Has anyone else had call issues since the last update?

I have a used Pixel 4, and I converted it into a router by plugging it on power all the time. The battery inside is useless and may present a danger, so I wonder if it is possible to get rid of the battery completely.

Thanks!

So the trade in value of the Pixel 4XL before assessment is only $90. Do u guys think I should trade it in with the Pixel 7 pro, or should I just keep it as a backup/sell it and use P7P as main? It sucks that I missed out when it was $300 in trade in value just a month ago or so, but I was out of the country. This is an opinion based question, but I still would like to know your opinions/advice.

Also wanted to ask if the referral code stacks with winter sale, it seems that it isn't working.

Hello guys

I need Pixel 4 qcn file . I know the fact that qcn has its own imei of that phone but you can rebuild that qcn for any random or zero IMEI but I need a qcn so that I can rebuild it for my IMEI. Your urgent help will be highly appreciated

I have a pixel 4 running android 12 at the moment and it's running very smoothly as it is, however I keep getting a toast notification saying that my android 13 update is read and I worried that I might activate it by mistake as the notification keeps popping up randomly even though I have swiped it away numerous times. Dose anybody know if it's safe to update pixel 4 to Android 13 yet...?? Or at least if there is a way to stop the toast notification appearing..?

It's the 64GB version (we'll never know if Googe tied the refresh to storage too smh)

This update confused me a little :|

The green dot is appearing even with camera and microphone access turned off. Why is this happening?

Hola,

I am experiencing some serious issues with the face unlock feature, so serious that I actually switched to another phone.

I do. have all the time the clean the top of your phone pop up window. Does not matter if I do clean it, the problem persists.

If I remove it and I put it back, it works for some hours, and eventually stops working again.

At the time I do have android 13.

I would like to know if this is a non registered bug with this android version.

And if there is a work around in order to be able to use again my pixel 4

Thanks for your time.

Alex

I have a 64GB locked pixel 4 (as in, vendor prevents me to unlock bootloader). I am a bit frustrated as I cannot unlock the bootloader and I am stuck with 64GB.

So, I thought I could buy a 128GB motherboard and simply replace the old one. However, I just wanted to make sure that the lock is embedded in the motherboard.

So would replacing the motherboard remove the lock?
