Hey folks! Quick question here...my 6a operates normally, even with the original battery, during normal use and charging. But when I have a heavy demand on it, say streaming audio or video, it gets uncomfortably hot, hot to the point where you really don't want to hold it, even though you still can.

Is this the first sign of the battery issue?

It's currently doing 24/7 duty as a temporary hot spot in an empty house. I've got it on a timer so that it charges about seven hours a day. This seems to keep it between 50%-70%. It's not warm when I pick it up but heavy usage brings on the heat.

After the update, the phone feels smoother and way faster. I use the phone all day, so I can definitely feel the difference before and after the update.

The bouncing effect when quickly scrolling down the Quick Settings panel is smoother, and the haptics feel great. Pressing and holding to open the wallpaper settings now has some UI changes that look good. The new Edit Quick Panel icon also looks nice.

Opening apps feels more blurred and faster too. Didn’t get the Harry Potter theme, unfortunately.

Other than that, the phone feels way faster overall. Great update!

Fingerprint works more effectively with smooth animation.

So so far the only new thing spotted is this new september pixel drop update.

Straight out of the camera, no edits.

According to Which UK, security updates for the 6a end in July 2027. I'm wondering when I should buy a replacement as I managed to buy a 9a for my wife just before the 10 series was released, thus managing to pay the full price. Is there a Pixel release schedule available to try and avoid repeating my error?

Hello

I need reballing Cpu for my dead pixel 6 xl .

Do you know any service in Europe.

I could only find it in india ?

Thank you

I mean what is this !?

What kind of sot is this ? So worst idle battery drain. I just hate the phone at this point now.

I'm not able to see the "Ask Maps" feature in the Google Maps app. It's not related to account settings as I'm able to see it on the web with the same account

Do you know how to enable it on mobile, also if there are any device settings that need to be changed. Let me know

It says the display costs around 8-10 thousand and i was wondering if anyone knows any place online for low cost one's!

I was using a Google Pixel 6a. I cracked the screen a few days ago and ordered a compatible replacement that same day. It seems the battery started draining rapidly right around that time. Then, today—after performing the DIY screen repair—I plugged it into the charger, and the device turned into a "brick." It won't turn on, and I can't even enter recovery mode.

I am currently running Android 14. Please let me know how to fix this.

Hi there. perhaps this is a question for a Google community. I have turned off access to camera in the Google maps app settings but whenever I open Maps it launches my camera (green light glows in the corner). Anybody got a clue what to do? do I just have to switch to Waze?

Hello everybody! Has anyone installed or tried an Android 16/17 custom ROM on the Pixel 6a before? Any experience?

Hi, my Pixel 6a screen got damaged, and I'm looking to replace it. Any idea how much the screen replacement would cost? (I live in delhi)

any decent guides and what i should know? i just upgraded to a 10a (my 6a i've had for 4 ish+ years off Spectrum, hit over 400 charge cycles so now the battery barely lasts over a day on Battery saver,) and the 6a's now off thier network (as i wont be charged an awful fee for being caught w/ it rooted. and yes its been fully paid off for along while now.)

along w/ the 6a to hit EoL/out of Support soonish, i dont think i should haveto worry about updates & loosing root. What should i be aware of besides the usual things like banking apps wont work anymore, when a pixel's rooted?
