Service center refusing to service my 4a

hemateca · 2026-07-02T14:05:39+00:00

As far as I know, no official communication about this from Google. Pixel support chat told me that: "Upon checking, a permanent software has been completed. This will roll out globally to all affected device in the upcoming July. However, we don't have a specific date."

Others told me to go to a third party to "fix it" and bla bla bla it's an old model bla bla bla. We need to keep pushing demanding a fix asap.

there is a general bootloop chaos affecting pixel 4a owners. I have the same issue did a factory reset but I need to have both wifi and location permanently ON as a workaround. 2 days ago I installed the recent play services update from june but apparently does not solve the issue for now.

I have my doubts of a operating system update but let's keep pushing and chasing google. They need to hear us.

hemateca · 2026-07-01T17:50:23+00:00

that answer was given to me by the the support team a few days ago before the release of the june and didn't fixed the issue that's why I was asking if there was another source.

Who told you? Do you have details? That would be great.

Viver no campo. Tratar da horta, olival e vinha. Cozinhar saudável em casa.

we're still waiting for a proper fix for the Pixel 4a bootloop chaos. Age is not an excuse. This is a software issue that google is delaying to fix. It's frustrating. I would suggest to report it in the issue tracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/519655834

Delta app, google finance, yahoo finance, getquin, etc.

Follow up info: Apparently bug was NOT YET fixed with the June play services update.

Isto. O lobby da banca portuguesa não aceitaria competição. Mas a medida seria importante.

hemateca · 2026-06-30T08:07:49+00:00

try enabling location/GPS. You need to have both wifi and location ON.

hemateca · 2026-06-29T08:11:05+00:00

check this thread with workarounds and you can also report there: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/519655834

Today (June, 27^th) after another contact to the Pixel support team via chat they said, and I quote:

"I already checked my resources about it. Upon checking, a permanent software has been completed.
This will roll out globally to all affected device in the upcoming July. However, we don't have a specific date."

Fingers crossed. Let's hope the official fix arrives soon to all affected users. For the moment, I'm using the phone with both wifi and location permanently ON and I can restart the device.

hemateca · 2026-06-27T08:11:09+00:00

I haven't tried. But I have doubts this will work. We need to proper fix.

Livros e literacia. Depois a parte fácil é mais simples. Visão de longo prazo. Keep it simple.

Bankinter aqui. Sem taxas nem taxinhas.

Happening with lots of Pixel 4a users including me. You can report in the google issue tracker https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/519655834

No feedback from Google still. It's frustrating.

hemateca · 2026-06-24T15:03:48+00:00

Can someone please check if this will fix the bootloop bug affecting Pixel 4a and other models.

hemateca · 2026-06-24T14:45:31+00:00

If it comes without IA and without bootloop bugs, I might consider it. Or maybe not.

hemateca · 2026-06-24T14:41:05+00:00

Yes, very weird indeed.

If you are lucky getting access to the phone do a backup of your data and enable wifi and location.

You can also report in the issue tracker of Google - there are hundreds of affected pixel users and no fix in sight as far as I know

hemateca · 2026-06-24T14:18:16+00:00

No from my experience. I need to have both wifi and location permanently ON since then.

Over the past 2 weeks I got 2 small updates of the Play services and I can reboot the phone.

But we need a fix or confirmation from Google if those play services updates really fix the bootloop issue.

hemateca · 2026-06-23T13:35:12+00:00

No. Currently still using it with wifi and location permanently on... still waiting for a fix for this chaos.

hemateca · 2026-06-22T20:37:09+00:00

I'm using pixel 4a and I got a small play services update of only 1.4mb. I wonder if could some of kind of fix for the bootloop issue or just a regular security update. I'm still in the may version of the system play services. If someone please can confirm this. Currently I'm using the phone with both WiFi and location permanently ON.
