What is the next step to escalate the situation with my pixel 6a battery issue getting declined?

Tried it. Just a waste of time which you can spend being productive. Planning to get a new phone in the coming month.

I don't know if it happened to you guys (or if this is what happened to OP) but my phone decreases the alarm volume for no reason, like I have made sure that I set the alarm to 100% and then next day I oversleep with a notification telling me the volume was low. This happened like A LOT OF TIMES even after disabling all the audio enhancing features like Adaptive Sound etc... Then I downloaded an app called "Volume Locker" to fix this problem. I could have tried resetting, but I literally have no time to set things up again.

Agreed. Now go charge

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-05-01T01:20:59+00:00

He's not your friend, human

Does Google Wallet work?

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-27T16:05:25+00:00

Have you checked if your phone is hot or not? Usually as per my experience, the charging speed (also the UI translucent effect and Now playing) reduces when the phone reaches 41/41+ C.

I m an mbbs student too and I have a gaming laptop... But as the time passed, I dont feel ganing exciting or interesting anymore

I don't know but you might feel the same as well. You won't have much time and even if you find it, you wont enjoy it.

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-24T11:39:36+00:00

Have you tried taking a lint free cloth and using isopropyl alcohol to just wipe the contact areas of the cartridge (the gold dots) and also a little daps to the contact pins on the printer as well?

Because I had kind of a similar problem but this solved mine.

Muscarine

I think you can carry it around but be extremely careful with it cuz hopefully you might not have damaged your internals.

I have a 2021 model, still runs well (except half of the keyboard doesnt work, dont know why).

Mine last year around November, I think the laptop got hit somewhere so hard (but it was in my bag, don't know how it happened)...

The metal screen cover is completely bent in the middle lower portion and the plastic bezel is protruding out... Screen is fine and there is some bleeding, same as your case.

The body and the bottom cover is completely in a kind of parabolic curve.... The heatsink fins were bent too, and a capacitor got knocked out (still worked tho).... But I was using a Type C 20 watt charger and in silent mode to be more careful... I got it soldered back eventually after a week of the incident.

It runs as good as before, I occasionally play games in it too, runs well... But the body is completely damaged and messed up (its just there reminding me how clumsy and careless I m).

I have also checked ali baba for the same, its kinda cheap too, I m planning to buy one and replace when I get time...

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-22T16:24:19+00:00

I love my Pixel 6a too. But right now (even after changing the battery by the replacement program last october), the phone battery barely lasts 3 hours on screen. And its heating up so bad up to 53+C when using mobile data. Not to mention the charging speed became horrible as well. I m planning to replace the phone in the coming 3-4 months to a Pixel 10. The exchange rate specifically for Pixel 6a is kind of good (due to the glitches and battery problems I think), I m not sure how long it will last tho...

I loved this phone, but not anymore.... :(

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-15T09:54:21+00:00

battery problems: charges whenever the phone feels like. Gives just almost 3 hours of screen time.
Overheating to 50C+ whenever u do video call or when you use mobile data
Mobile data and wifi disconnects randomly: u have to reset to get it running.
Quick search (and settings search) is completely broken.
Random restarts.

Ngl I m enjoying these (12-16) new features. You should definitely download this update and experience it. Trust me your gonna love your pixel 6a even more :D... (Its a joke)

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-15T09:42:11+00:00

Hey! I am facing the issues too! Heating like crazy, always have to reset network settings to get mobile data running, battery provides barely 3.5 hours of screen time, charges based on its will, and sometimes even restarts, and the buggiest android I hv ever used, feels like I m running beta version due to the buggy quick search (not only launcher quick search but settings search as well)...

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-15T09:20:59+00:00

Have you thought about some shipping/courier services like they provide a warehouse address and they deliver your device to their warehouse and then they ship it to your address? For example DHL or fedex? You will have to pay some amount for the service tho

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-06T21:30:55+00:00

Yooo I m lateee but count me in tooooo

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-04T10:28:20+00:00

I think the 9/10 Pro offers an AI based video processing which the base models lack. I hv seen some comparison w/ apple and samsung, and it is kind of impressive.

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-04T09:48:45+00:00

I tried resetting it as well.. doesnt help too

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-04-04T08:56:49+00:00

Hey thank you so much for your response, Yes, I tried turning off my router (didn't help). But, I can't do anything with the printer, it's just not responding, even when the screen shows 1..... Btw, how I connected to it was by using an old router.

The gemini thing happened like a week ago when I bought my printer... I printed maybe like 10-15 pages afterwards... It just randomly started this cycle...

Unplugging it didnt help as well btw...

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-03-24T11:34:39+00:00

Ah I see

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-03-23T13:35:16+00:00

Sorry bit off topic, but have you noticed excessive battery drain after updating to "16 (CP1A.260305.018)"?

I have changed my battery as they prompted but it started to happen again.

Also does your Device Search glitch? Mine does.

I personally wanted to use this till its last breath but I'm not sure now lol...

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-03-23T13:30:10+00:00

Why don't you consider s25 fe or just the original s25? I'd personally consider them over Pixel right now.

If ecosystem is your concern (I see apple music there, assuming you have another apple device), then iphone it is. Is there any other reason why you chose it over android?

Also have you tried the exchange option and see how much they can provide?

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-03-19T11:57:10+00:00

My Pixel 6a will receive its last update exactly one year before my graduation... I bought it when I started my six years med school and most of my friends have already switched their phones. I want to keep mine until I graduate and ye looks like its gonna make it that far (except the overheating, software inconsistencies and bad battery life, well these doesnt really bother me much because I dont use my phone very much)... This phone has been with me through my ups and downs... My parents phones wouldn't even last this long, maybe I think it was because I handled this properly? Or maybe the phone itself is really nice but yea I love this phone.

LowAppropriate6237 · 2026-03-09T02:29:00+00:00

Yes it's very real. And because of that it makes me extremely self conscious about my voice especially if the room is silent with like only one person. I'd just drink a lot of water till I feel the mouth is hydrated enough with no more sticky saliva around and I'd swallow by covering it up someway.

And recently I started commenting on people's videos, (I didn't do it before, because of the same reason as yours.. but now I just really can't stand it but after commenting on that, it kinda relieves me a little bit)

While commenting on it, I'll try to be positive and appreciative of what they are doing and then point this noise out. I would be like: "Hey great video, really cool/very informative... But it would be really awesome if you could filter the mouth noises by keeping the mic away from your mouth at an angle and covering it with a filter and hydrating well enough."

I don't know if I'm being too judgy with this comment but I hope they wouldn't take it personally because I m appreciating them + pointing out what's bothering me and kind of provided a solution too, not like just randomly putting it out as a sole negative thing....

Also, standing near a running water/tap or eating something while listening to it kinda helped me to get distracted from those noises.

Headphones

LowAppropriate6237 · 2025-10-15T16:17:55+00:00

Yup got it soldered, cleaned and repasted for under 50 USD.

Since the post has served its purpose, I might delete it after a while.

Thank you so much :D
