#pixel6a

3 Beiträge3 Beteiligte0 Beiträge heute

Tras casi dos semanas con @GrapheneOS instalada en un #pixel6a, los "problemas" de batería se han resuelto totalmente y volvemos a los consumos y duración que tenía el móvil antes de la actualización de julio, esa del parche que capaba la batería.
Lo malo, que me quedo sin pagos NFC (con Google Wallet, con la app del banco sí que van)

My several year-old #Pixel6a received an update from #google this week that dramatically cut the battery life. I've used the adaptive charging method (charges slowly to 'preserve battery life'. This seems to have been for nothing as Google's messaging suggests that not all devices were affected and batteries are a disposable commodity. I guess the unit in batch of batteries that went into my phone degrade rapidly after only 400 cycles. My phone is at 479.

My options are:

- send my phone on for weeks to have them replace the battery
- get a $150 play store credit
- make a sketchy account with something called Payoneer that requires my SSN or id to be uploaded to get $100

Mein #Pixel6a ist eines der "betroffenen Geräte" mit Gefahr von Akkuüberhitzung. Ein Pflicht-Update von Google hat nun dafür gesorgt, dass sich die Ladeleistung deutlich reduziert hat.

Anscheinend habe ich jetzt die Wahl, kostenlos den Akku tauschen zu lassen, oder Geld erstattet zu bekommen... Hat damit schon jemand Erfahrungen gemacht? #FediHilfe

For those wondering if their #Pixel6a is suffering from a faulty battery (support.google.com/pixelphone/) but are running #GrapheneOS instead of the stock Android: GrapheneOS devs are working on providing the update to limit the battery charge and warning regarding the faulty battery. It is said that not all correspondent code is available yet. An opt-out for the the battery limit workaround is planned (All info according to info from the official GOS Matrix chat.)

Trying to figure out just how much of an effect the pixel 6a battery change is going to have ...

And whether I should buy a Pixel 9a (about £190 after trade in and voucher from Google due to 6a battery).

I suspect I won't see as good a deal again any time soon for a new phone, but I'm quite happy with this 6a.

Google will add a new, mandatory "battery management" change on Pixel 6a that will throttle battery life and charging. This aims to reduce the risk of overheating, melting, or fires due to poor battery health.

9to5Google · Pixel 6a gets a mandatory Android update next week with battery reduction for someVon Ben Schoon

@heiseonline Ich benutze zwar GrapheneOS auf meinem Pixel 6a, aber ich gehe mal davon aus, daß dieses Update da auch übernommen wird.
Naja, immerhin hat mein Smartphone erst 59 Ladezyklen, also sollte ich von der Akkukapazitätsverringerung noch eine Weile nicht betroffen sein, hoffe ich.

So apparently my #pixel6a has a battery defect which Google will kindly solve by applying a mandatory software update to reduce the effective battery capacity.

They're offering 3 choices - which would you take? (Feel free to tell me why in the replies!)

I’ve never owned a Pixel 4a, but I always liked its simple and clean design. I’m not a fan of the look of the Pixel 6 series and newer models.

That said, I recently upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 9a because I care more about privacy and security than design.

With @GrapheneOS, I give up some physical designs that don’t appeal to me, but I gain a lot more privacy and security in return, so it’s a trade I’m happy to make.

I’ve been using #GrapheneOS since early May 2023 on my Pixel 6a, and I’m writing this while setting up my new Pixel 9a.
