Timeline:

1. Around June 2026, my Pixel 6 phone battery started to balloon / expand and bend the phone screen. So time to change the battery.
2. I've changed plenty of phone batteries before. Just ordered a basic replacement battery with good reviews and high purchase count on Amazon. Replaced my battery June 2026.
3. From June 2026 --> July 2026, my Pixel 6 worked perfectly fine with the new battery installed. Had the battery go through various scenarios like being drained.
4. On July 31 2026, I went to bed with my phone battery at 3 percent. Woke up to find my phone completely drained.
   • Wouldn't turn on and wouldn't even display a low battery screen.
   • No response at all when plugged into a low voltage charger.
   • Would infinitely loop on the Google logo if I plugged into a high voltage charger.
   • Can access the bootloader screen, but any option chosen just leads back to infinite Google logo loop.
5. I assumed perhaps I just got a faulty replacement battery and it only lasted about a months.
6. Bought another replacement battery from a different seller on Amazon. Still top seller, good reviews, good purchase count, etc. Replaced the battery AGAIN, and phone started right back up. So thought I fixed my issue.
7. A couple days later / today, I leave my phone at 40 percent to play some sports. I come back 2 hours later to find my Pixel 6 completely drained AGAIN. Same exact issues as listed above of the infinite Google logo boot. I'm assuming the battery somehow drained in those 2 hours (was outside and was a hot day).

So, I guess I can buy another battery and do the replacement again... but I know this won't fix my issue. Seems like if my phone ever drains, I'll be screwed. I'm just not sure what is causing this issue though. To me, perhaps some other hardware is damaged in my Pixel 6? Or perhaps some new software update that doesn't play well with third-party batteries??? I don't think I damaged anything internally. Really need my phone since all my 2-factor authentication for work is attached to it. Guess will just buy a new phone but would still like to have this Pixel 6 functional for whenever I need to retrieve things from it. Is there a way to charge my phone or I just have to buy a new battery which comes pre-charged hence why it fixes my issue...

hyperextended my knee a couple weeks ago. Wasn't a crazy hyperextension... took 2 weeks off from sports to be safe. Been playing soccer again. My knee feels weaker I guess but nothing that impedes walking or running and soccer besides doing less directional changes (mainly to be safe as well). The main symptoms I notice are: weaker feeling knee, leg can fully extend but can tell it doesn't like it when leaning forward or kicking out, and finally a quite audible clicking noise that can be felt within the outer-middle of the knee (like something is rubbing or getting caught?).

Says they are in china basin but heard it concluded?
Only other option is Redwood city I heard???
I live quite far and wanna get one before it's too late. Thanks!

specifically trying to get the SF themed bracelet.

Just not sure since its pretty late like 9pm

Been a while but long ago as a kid I did camping on the beach in SLO / pismo with dirt bikes and ATVs. I want to do that again this 4th of July. The only place I see that does beach camping seems to be Oceano Recreational beach? However, correct me if I'm wrong... seems that all camping sites are already taken I think for 4th of July weekend? Does anyone know of any other camping on the beach options? I would like to have dirt bikes and ATVs but the only one I know is Oceano.
