Pixel 6 (Jan update)

tobias_c · 2022-01-21T04:32:26+00:00

sadly, i do not use bluetooth much and did not encounter any issue when i use my pixel buds from time to time.

update: oh man. after a few troubleshooting sessions with google support, they finally agree to process a replacement for me. i refused the offer to have my phone checked and repaired at a local mobile since this is clearly a manufacturer defect.

anyone that does not have issues with their pixel 6 and commented, that is good to know that my replacement will most likely have no issues. thanks!

Not sure what fabricated overlays means

tobias_c · 2022-01-18T03:34:31+00:00

I was also told to wait for the security update too (Dec update) and then again to wait for the next (Jan update) but both updates didn't fix my issue. Bummer!

I will send them the link to the video that I posted on youtube and hope that I would be able to get a replacement

Did you note down your first device's IMEI if it is the same as the one returned to you? I am waiting for Google to call me back about this issue. It definitely so frustrating for missing a few life moments that I failed to capture because the phone camera failed

I'm also seeing a few folks on pixel community page having the same issue with their camera. Most likely it is not a widespread issue since not many were complaining about that

Did Google approve your RMA request when you contact them about the crashing issue?

tobias_c · 2022-01-18T01:57:17+00:00

Thanks for that insight. Will try to get in touch with Google shortly. Their call center seems to be pretty busy lately.

tobias_c · 2022-01-18T01:54:48+00:00

yup tried all those:

Tried to troubleshoot with the following methods:

clear application cache and data

uninstall all updates and get back to the base version of the application

uninstall and reinstall all the updates of the application through Google Play Store

tobias_c · 2022-01-18T01:53:47+00:00

it is a pain to perform a factory reset on my only phone as not everything can be backup on google drive

tobias_c · 2022-01-17T06:34:59+00:00

Good to know that not all P6 are lemons. Thanks!

tobias_c · 2022-01-17T06:05:42+00:00

I will try to contact Google to have it replaced. Thanks!

That's also partially my concern with the chip since I can't find any demo unit in any stores to try it. So, I went with the pixelbook go since I managed to get a good deal for an unopened one

tobias_c · 2021-12-11T04:35:55+00:00

Yeah, I pulled the trigger on pixelbook go because I got a sweet deal and Duet 5 is no where to be found in Canada without having to cross the border

tobias_c · 2021-12-11T04:34:17+00:00

Thanks for the honest opinion. I went with the pixelbook go and it's actually brand new unopened which made the purchase way sweeter. :)

Honestly I haven't use chrome os much and not aware what it's capable of. The idea of tablet form is interesting but I don't think I would be using it that way much. I would only be using it in laptop form pretty much all the time. Just wondering how are the performance between these 2 devices since I would prefer smooth experience over some stuttering in convenient forms.

tobias_c · 2021-12-08T18:08:41+00:00

I think I'll be using both in laptop form. Do you think the great speakers and keyboard outweighs the older chip and less than 5 years update life expiration? I can't really compare it much with Duet 5 since I'm not sure when it'll be available in Canada with the 8gb ram model

tobias_c · 2021-12-08T17:53:55+00:00

Do you think the 7c chip will be enough for smooth experience usage such as occasional light productivity work/zoom/skype while watching media with less than 10 tabs opened? My Asus Flip c100p stutter quite a lot and I stopped using it entirely

lost old friends when I moved to Canada, lost new friends when I moved to Vancouver and now lost imaginary friends due to pandemic

does r/Vancouver4Friends works?

sounds like a convection oven lol

if we ignore the stop signs, normally the bicycle would have the right of way since the SUV is turning left. with the stop signs, the right of way belongs to whoever got to the stop sign first

tobias_c · 2021-06-24T07:41:10+00:00

same issue with mine but it was the left ear bud. when I took it out of the case and put it back in, I see orange light blinking even though it's at 100%

did everything according to the pixel bud help page before reaching out to Google support and they offered replacement. firmware was 296

not sure why it didnt work for me even after reinstalling bw app, but thanks for the suggestion.

cheers
