I have a CPID Pixel 6a. I am thinking of installing a custom rom preferably Evolution X, but i'm not sure about the CPID. Will it vanish or stay? Also what about the E-sims? I intent to use Banking Apps too. Does anyone has a suggest for a Custom Rom that doesn't degrades performance and also improve the battery life. Also experienced users can you tell me about the adaptive charging feature? Does any custom Rom has it? Thanks

Periodically when using the charging limit of 80%, my Pixel 6a won't charge past 78% and if left on the charger for an additional 60 mins or so, it will revert to "connected but not charging". I think the issue started after the March update. Anyone experiencing something similar?

My Pixel 6a power button ripped off and it’s causing some issues. Finding repair shops for Pixel devices has been really hard here.

One guy is asking ₹800 and says he can fix the button from outside without opening the phone. I’m okay with it if it can actually be fixed externally, but I really don’t want anyone opening the phone internally since there’s no official Pixel service center nearby and most local shops don’t seem experienced with Pixels.

Does this sound legit or risky? Don’t wanna turn a small issue into a bigger one 😅

Dropped my 6a in a bucket of water today and it’s officially dead. Not planning to repair it since the internals are probably gone too, so I’m looking at a new phone.

Budget is around ₹65k / $650 max.

• Pixel 10 → ~₹60k / $625
• Pixel 10a → ~₹45k / $475

I’m leaning toward the Pixel 10 series, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve used them:

• How’s the battery life?
• Any issues with network performance?
• Or should I be considering other Androids or even an iPhone in this price range?

I’m having a weird issue with my Pixel 6a on Windows 11.

When I connect the phone to my PC using a USB cable:

- USB tethering works

- Webcam mode works

- Charging works

- PTP/photo transfer works (only when Developer Options + USB Debugging are enabled)

But normal “File Transfer / Android Auto” (MTP) does not work at all.

Symptoms:

- “File Transfer” option appears on the phone

- But the phone storage never shows up in Windows File Explorer

- Sometimes Windows makes the connect sound, but nothing appears

- Device Manager behavior is inconsistent

What I already tried:

- Different USB cables

- Different USB ports

- Rebooting both devices

- Updating Windows

- Reinstalling Google USB drivers

- Switching USB preferences manually

- Enabling/disabling USB debugging

- Revoking USB debugging authorizations

- Cleaning USB port

Important detail:

- If Developer Options + USB Debugging are enabled, PTP/photo transfer works

- But MTP/file transfer still fails completely

PC: Windows 11

Phone: Pixel 6a

Android version: latest update

Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a Windows MTP driver issue, Pixel bug, or something related to USB configuration?

Hey guys! I'm planning to buy a new battery for my Pixel 6a this month because of overheating issues, and I've never changed it before. My question is, is the oem battery good? Since I'm in Malaysia, it's hard to find an original one. if yes, what is the oem battery brand should i get it?

so after they declined me I went and asked the supervisor to check my case again because every time they referred me to the “higher support team” which is always just this one person named “Bella” and every time they just reply with a fill in the blank pre written message. I also went and asked the seller that I got their phone from a year ago about the issue to see what they can do. Any suggestions or tips are welcome! thanks for your time! 😄
