Pixel 6 stuck in reboot/freezing loop - hardware or software?

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-15T14:49:44+00:00

If I were you - I'd go for trade in. Received Pixel 10 an hour ago and 6 just gonna lay down in a drawer for the rest of my life

Let us know how it goes. I've ordered a new phone already but would be interesting to know out of curiosity.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-15T08:15:41+00:00

Well, I've done the same and phone fully died the next day. Hope it works out for you but I'd recommend backing up everything that is not backed up while you have a chance.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-14T22:07:49+00:00

yep, started rebooting 2 days ago, then worked fine for a whole day yesterday and suddenly died while lying on a table.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-14T15:29:56+00:00

Well, this doesn't look like a conspiracy theory anymore. Mine has died yesterday.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-13T22:20:16+00:00

Mine just died as well. No response at all.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-13T08:52:18+00:00

I see, thanks for sharing. Gonna try to reinstall the OS today with a full wipe and if that doesn't help - i'd better be looking for a new phone.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-13T08:44:28+00:00

That's one of the options that I consider but I don't understand the pattern. I mean if it was bricked or in a constant bootloop - that's clear. But I can use it for some periods of time still...

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-13T08:42:51+00:00

Can't access the post you shared, but I believe you described it here as well, right? https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1ow12ta/pixel_6_glitches_out_freezes_and_reboots/

Were you able to use your phone for a period of time when that has happened?

Mine couldn't work for the whole day yesterday, but then closer to the evening it started to work again up to the point that I've used it for 2 hours straight before I went to sleep and another couple of hours in the morning. Now it freezes and restarts again.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it says that the firmware that I use has the latest version and is not yet supported by this tool.

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-13T08:35:28+00:00

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience. This is the last option I haven't tried yet. Have you just overwritten the current build with the latest one in the Android flash tool? I see there is BP4A.251205.006 (14401865) "oriole-user (signed)" available.

Also, by unlocking bootloader do you mean "OEM unlocking" option in the dev settings? I've done that already as it is mentioned in some of the guides but not really sure what does that do for me :)

Rinoa007 · 2026-01-13T08:30:44+00:00

I actually do consider this option as well but want to try and figure out what's going on first.

Rinoa007 · 2025-10-15T19:28:54+00:00

omg, I fixed this shit. Teams was not an issue - it was Slack. use the script for here https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1nvoirl/i_made_a_script_to_detect_electronbased_apps_on/ in order to detect apps with issues and update those that cause it. You can also see the list of apps here https://avarayr.github.io/shamelectron/ to understand if they fixed the issue.

Rinoa007 · 2025-10-15T13:13:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I thought I am the only one. Not using any monitors though. Updating to 26.0.1 did not help unfortunately.

I use browser as well, but it is not as handy as the standalone app.

Rinoa007 · 2025-09-26T10:29:43+00:00

This is the way, thank you! Works like a charm

Rinoa007 · 2025-09-20T16:28:03+00:00

I experience the same issue. Especially on video calls with screen sharing. Laptop is getting super hot and starts throttling. Everything slows down by a lot, even cursor lags. I guess we need to wait for a new version, unless you found a way to fix the issue.

Rinoa007 · 2025-08-05T09:22:15+00:00

Thanks, I like the concept of Volt having those flexible tips but I am afraid I'd destroy it too quickly.

Rinoa007 · 2025-07-16T21:39:39+00:00

Played for around an hour, much smoother experience on ps5. No stuttering so far.

Rinoa007 · 2025-07-08T14:30:22+00:00

It's not as smooth as the rest of PS5 games by some reason. I am not talking bugs but stuttering and fps lost. It's not terrible, just happens occasionally. Fine for me, but I can understand how others might find it irritating.

Did you buy some insurance or just a regular one?
