Google’s Battery Performance Program update was supposed to stop this.

    Well that’s just great.

    Here’s the website to see if your PIxel6a is an “impacted device”. Mine isn’t, not sure why… zero transparency on this.

      Because yours doesn’t have one of the batteries from the batch that catches fire.

      Thanks for the link. I put my phone’s info in and it told me I’m eligible. But the color of the phone was completely wrong.

      I’m done with Pixels. The first one was amazing. But the quality has been going gradually downhill for both the main series and the A series phones.

        Because children can die in a fire, I guess.

        It’s probably a GDPR or similar requirement.
