is the Pixel just bad?
I've had the Google pixel 6 for almost 2 years. Lately it seems like it just breaks everything. It has issues with multiple apps, it doesn't want to connect to WiFi, the list goes on. Everything I Google, it's like yep, me too, known issue. Is this a bad phone? What should I upgrade to?
I'm using a pixel 6 and everything has been fine and I've traveled a fair bit around the world with it.
Try factory resetting it and don't restore apps and settings from backup
I've got a pixel 6, never had any issues with it. I would recommend all the usual suspects: turn it off and on, update, factory reset.
If you are up to date I remember people complaining that the latest update broke some stuff for them, that might be your issue?
I have a Pixel 4a 5G, and only now am I reluctantly upgrading. Reluctantly because it still works wonderfully, but I want wireless charging, and continued Graphene support.
I'm on 6a but I do miss the 4a 5g, the proportion were better, the texture felt good and I miss that little white button.
I tryed it out again and its noticeable slower than the 6a
I pretty much only use my phone for messaging, email, calendar, and browsing Lemmy. So I can't say I've felt it slow.
I have a 7a arriving in a day or two. Looking forward to giving it a spin.
My 6a is fully a downgrade from my 3a which broke and I lament its passing every time I use the in screen fingerprint reader
It's bigger, heavier, the battery is worse :(
No issues on P7
Everything I Google, it's like yep, me too, known issue
Yeah, I mean, that'll happen. That doesn't mean everyone has that problem.
Yeah if you search for a problem you'll find people with that problem.
I'm sure I had a lemon, but I think I had either the first or 2nd gen phone and it broke within 6 months. I had it in my hoodie pocket and I felt it vibrate so I took a look and it went into boot loop. Sadly I did not turn on developer mode so I could not get access to it or wipe it and the reset wouldn't work either. Essentially it was wiped and I lost everything. I also don't remember why but they did not allow the warranty either. Good news was it was a work phone so I did not pay for it. It was the only one I tried and I will not go back. I enjoy my Samsung.
Let me guess you had multiple profiles? Get a samsung or a OnePlus. Should be better. Pixels are known to have issues from time to time with new updates. The recent storage bug had people losing their data for example.
Ive noticed my pixel 6a will quickly disconnect reconnect to WiFi, phone calls I become muted for the other person at random. I think they cheaped out on the networking or the implementation of the networking.
Also worth noting that its been this way with several ROMs
I bought mine when it fiest came out and I'm not really having any major issues. I find the screen rotation will occasionally act flaky and I had to reboot a couple of times because the keyboard wouldn't come up qhen I touched a dialog box, but that stopped with the last update. Sorry you're having trouble.
I have a pixel 6a and it works great. However, I did run GrapheneOS shortly after I got it, so that may be why. I don't use the Stock OS.
So google might be trying to get you to buy the newest phone? I know apple likes to slow down their old phones so people upgrade, maybe Google does the same.
My 3a is really solid
