Hi, so essentially my phone has basically been overheating a bunch ike the temperatures will normally reach around 42° C and at most 50° C, and all I'm doing is scrolling Instagram. Considering that my phone is now 3 1/2 years old, I've come to the conclusion that I'm likely going to have to replace the battery sometime in the next two weeks. Here's the weird thing, though, at the same time, I've developed an issue where the Wi-Fi will randomly cut out, and I don't mean disconnect from the Wi-Fi, I mean the connect to Wi-Fi button will just turn off automatically. I've looked at my router, and it seems like it's running normally. The thing is, though that this only happens whenever my phone heats up, so is the battery heating up connected to the Wi-Fi issues, or is this may be another issue entirely?

I have considered buying a new phone, but I want to wait till I reach University to do that. If anyone has also had the same problems as me, can they tell me a way or a solution to fix this? Thank you

So basically I had filed a complaint for the battery replacement program for the 6A and on the Google page it show me that my device is eligible for it. So I have selected the $100 cash option. After that I got an email that your device is ineligible. So I tell them to reinvestigate the issue. So basically what they ask me for is proof of purchase and their mail should be on the same device with whom I registered with the program and after that they said there is ur device in ineligible and the decision is final .After that I challenged them to reevaluate. As my pixel device is showing that your cycle count is 582 and this needs a battery replacement After that they send me a mail

Thank you for your prompt response and we apologize for the inconvenience you experience.

We appreciate your patience as we reviewed your eligibility for the program. We already sent all the documents you provided to the higher level of support to further review your request. After careful review of your submission, your device has been determined ineligible for a support option, as it is not among the specific devices identified as "Impacted Devices" for this program.

The Pixel 6a Battery Performance Program is specifically for users of certain Pixel 6a phones that require a software update which, for "Impacted Devices," reduces battery capacity and impacts charging performance when the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. Not all Pixel 6a devices were impacted by the reduction in battery capacity and charging performance as a result of the battery health features included in this update.

Therefore, if your device is not impacted, you are not eligible for a support option under this program.

It is possible that the diminished battery performance you are experiencing is related to the normal aging of your device's rechargeable battery. Pixel phones, like other smartphones, use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries which are consumable components that can experience performance, capacity, or runtime degradation over time.

If you are experiencing decreased battery performance not related to the specific issue addressed by this program, we recommend general troubleshooting or considering replacing your battery if you notice a decrease in capacity or runtime due to aging. You can find information and support for general battery issues on our Help Center or by contacting our support team through our standard channels.

Thank you for your continued support and for being a valued member of the Pixel family.

Best regards,

Now what to do how to get money from them .

This Sunday when I restarted my phone, it started to bootloop. Once the G logo appears on the screen and the moment it lands on the lock screen, the loop starts again.

Same behavior if I try the "Safe mode".

OTA sideload through adb executes successfully though the issues persists.

The symptoms seems pretty similar to the one that Pixel 4a owners are experiencing , however the solutions mentioned in that thread do not resolve the issue on the 6a at all.

Hi, so my 6a has begun lagging lately, lagging in the sense that it takes quite a few seconds to register my input and the fps drops quite a lot.

I think it usually happens in a device when there's not enough RAM, but shouldn't android smartly allocate enough RAM for the current application?

Anyways, is there any solution to this? Do I have to end up formatting the device?

So the Pixel 10a is down to $424 on Google. Unfortunately and oddly, it does not match Amazon prime day and Best Buy price of $399 as it has in the past. But even then with the $150 coupon for the 6a battery issues the 10 a is $275. Who is buying? The discount code expires July 24th so it is now or never.

Was chilling on my bed with the phone on the charger and looked over to see the Google logo.

This isn't the first time I've had random restarts but this time the logo remained and didn't finish loading in.

On the logo screen I held down the power and volume down buttons(~40 seconds) till a menu popped up and using the volume buttons I selected recovery mode.

I got an error and on the error screen I held down the power and volume up till another menu popped up. I had no choice but to select wipe data and then reboot on that same menu, which worked.

All data is lost but the phone seems to be working.

Same as the title.
