Anyone getting Random Reboots?
I got a few yesterday.
I just woke up and reached for my phone, and it made me do my pin plus fingerprint just like it rebooted...

Got one today for no reason. Had maps running with music playing. Boom. Reboot.

I been getting the same thing a few times a day.
Haven't had one since I received it. Unlocked 128gb
Oh great. It is the LG bootloop problem, just 9 months early. I'm joking (I hope).

Yea same with me. I had about 3 yesterday. It rebooted while I slept (I know cause it made me do both my pin and fingerprint, and said it rebooted so that's why I had to do both), and it did it twice today. Once will using Android auto.

No problems here yet. 128gb black Unlocked.
Watching TV in a dark room. Phone lit up the room. Look over at my night stand and it just rebooted again. Hasn't been touched for an hour or so.

I know this is the pixel 2 xl page, but I have a pixel 2 regular and have had the random reboot issue occur as well; It is occurring in safe mode too (after a factory reset).
I've already been on the phone with Google support and they basically said it is RMA time...so 2 day old phone already being warrantied.
It literally rebooted again while typing this post...so it is happening a LOT...(thankfully chrome kept the text I typed!)

That's crazy. With the random Reboots that I'm having and the screen on my PXL2 Black 128GB, I am not the happiest camper...

I got my replacement Pixel 2 yesterday and all is well. I had to call Google support about 3 times though because they messed up the replacement shipping dates.
I'm still not sure what the cause of the reboots was, although, it seemed to happen more often when a program was running in the foreground for an extended duration (i.e. watching videos or using navigation). I have not seen many other reports across the internet of random reboots on the new Pixels so maybe we just got a couple of bad ones.
I just started getting this and I've only had it a day it's done 3 reboots in less than an hour and it's only happened when I have it with the screen off but I get a force close of an app when I get back into the phone
None here with my 64GB P2XL
no reboots for me... had my screen go black and refuse to turn back on once though. had to hold power button for a really long time to get it to come back on. just figured it was cuz im on the 8.1dp.
black 128gb
No reboots here. 128gb black xl unlocked 8.1 dp
Yes, randomly rebooted a few times now, usually when inactive. This on started with DP 8.1.
yes rebooted 3 times Pixel 2xl 128
Rebooted 3 times, randomly with no clear reason. One time while at Costco with just Plantronics 5200 Bluetooth connected. This was on a clean bootup and install from the box to see if there was much of a difference between clean install and a restore-data transfer from my Pixel XL 128. Has not happened since a complete reset and data transfer about 16hrs ago.
Android Auto Causes Rebooting
My Pixel 2 XL consistently reboots exclusively when using Android Auto. It's a 128GB Black one running 8.0 on a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX with the latest 1.10 firmware. I'll be able to get in about two songs and some map usage before it quits and suddenly reboots without explanation. I've not experienced any reboots with this phone under circumstances that do not involve AA. I sure hope Google fixes this soon because I do a good bit of driving & employ AA daily.
Since getting the phone Friday evening I have had about 20 reboots some happening back to back. Thought it may have been an app but I'm guess not. Don't have AA installed.
Nothing here either, on my third day running the 8.1 beta.
As the title says, who's getting one? I'm a definite yes. My wife really wants one too. She's def not a geek or anything, but, she loves the camera and the real-time translation using a pixel and the buds.
I'm in it for a design without the notch, the camera, solis, and the 90hz screen. I'm fairly excited about this phone. Can't wait for tomorrow!
You?
Definitely looking forward to it, just depends on the official prices. If the XL 128gb starts at 1000 I might just wait. I'm hoping Google has some nice trade in offers
I am in.
Unfortunately I dropped my 3 XL a couple of weeks ago and cracked the screen, so I cant't wait for a new phone.
I have had all the XL's since the start and have not seen another phone that I would enjoy as much as the google.
I'm thinking about it. But Only because Oneplus can't get their **** together and add wireless charging. One of the reasons I left them and the only reason why I'm haven't gone back
I think I have never been less excited about a Google event than this year. Just nothing on the 4XL wows me including Android 10.
- I want to see the battery life with 90Hz always on. Apparently it's by default set to dynamic 90Hz.
- Anandtech says speakers are lousy
- Overall design is dated
- Trade-in value of Pixel 3s is lousy
- No wide angle lens and no 60 fps videos
- Google put a lot of attention into things I don't use that often: Google Assistant, Night sky photography, motion sense.
No thanks. No premium price for a mediocre phone anymore.
I paid $1,000 for my 3XL on the basis of it getting guaranteed three years of OS and security updates, so I'll be keeping it until Android 13 comes out, and decide what to do with what's out then.
On the fence. Just wondering if TWRP will be made considering it is almost 2 months after Android 10 and it doesn't seem possible yet on the Pixel 3XL. My 3XL runs fabulously well for now. I guess it depends on perks.

I'll probably end up buying it. Just waiting on official price here in Canada. I bought the pixel xl, pixel 2xl, pixel 3xl. Why stop now.
If it had dual front facing speaker and a fingerprint sensor, I would think so, but I guess not.

I'm pre-ordering today as soon as it goes live, just like I do every year.
Google upped my credit limit unexpectedly, next purchase is Def a pixel 4 xl from Google.
Pixel 3 xl was the first phone I bought from Verizon since the Nexus 6. Loved the Nexus, but gaht dang Verizon screwed the goose with this BL stuff
I have purchased all the XLs and usually get the shakes this time of year for a new one.
I was not impressed by the roll out.
Less impressed by the trade in price.
I can wait a while
*and I am reading they are doing away with the unlimited photo/video storage perk
I will hold onto my 3 for a while now
No wifi 6 or 5G. I am not buying it. Samsung always comes out with awesome specs. Will just keep the pixel 3 xl
I'll be getting the 4XL but after a month or 2, when there should be some bug fixes and sales hopefully
I waited for the sale last year to buy. I just can't bring myself to pay full price knowing it'll drop a few hundred on a few months.
I do love it though.
Just got the 3xl recently and it will do me fine for the next year or two
I always buy a new phone every year. This year is a little different. Android has gotten to point where I only need to root for ad blocking. Almost everything I used to ROM phones for is pretty much included in stock Android. I think I'll sit this year out and wait for the 5XL.
I had it ordered and cancelled after thinking about it. Just not enough of an upgrade for me. I think I just like the look of it more than anything else. Might change my mind when holiday sales start but I'm proud of myself for cancelling. I've pre-ordered the past two years.
Got the 3 XL when it first came out and had a handful of hardware problems with it (even after multiple RMAs).
Returned it and got a 7 Pro but VoLTE doesn't work with it here in Canada.
Most likely going to get the 4XL for getting VoLTE back and the upgraded camera.
Not too sold on the Soli/radar hand waving gesture stuff though...
I have been purchasing the Google phone on it's release day since the 6P.. I thought about getting the 4XL.. but there are lots of things I've realized I am not fond of with this release.
- While I do like the refresh rate, I don't see many other things I'm too excited about.
- They did away with the fingerprint scanner - for FACE ID... not a fan.
- Then I believe the 4XL doesn't have dual front facing speakers, that's one of my favorite features
- Also it doesn't support the new 5G network that is starting to get released throughout the US. If I am going to pay this much money for a phone, i need to know that is has the hardware/specs to survive technology upgrades.
- Oh, and everyone is hating on the notch on the 3XL --> i have no issue with it. my phone is always darked/blacked out anyways, so it's irrelevant to me
- Then on top of it all, trade in value through google for my perfect condition 3XL only got me $260 for a phone I paid $1,000 for a year ago.
No thanks Google. I'm good. I'll wait.
Side note: DU for Android 10 will probably release sometime in the next month or so, and I'll completely forget about the 4XL anyways
So, I made it from 2014 until today with my Nexus 6.
Was going to just do a battery swap and see how many more years I could ride this thing. Couldn't have done it without LineageOS.
My 3a XL should be here Friday.
I'll probably tear open my N6 to swap the battery just to see if I can keep it alive a little longer. But it would be interesting to see the longest someone has kept the same phone.
I also just came from Shamu. Unfortunately I broke the screen on my first (still have it) so I didn't technically make it that long on a single phone. I keep all my phones though. Still have my Nexus One, though it's been years since I've even powered it up.
You're going to love the 3a. It feels so much better in the hand than Shamu and everything is so much faster. And don't even get me started on the battery life. I consistently got 5-6 sot on my builds on Shamu (4 ish on stock) and now I get double that.
Consistent
Here is my normal at about 50%
I locked my bootloader out of boredom last week running latest complete stock with these results.
Good device for sure. I have 3a xl from T-Mobile fyi
Yea, I came form a Nexus 5x (had it for 2 and a half years) and the improvements over that are insane. I no longer have to keep it charging constantly and it's so much smoother.

I had a Nexus 6 myself but technically came from a Moto g6. You'll love the pixel 3a xl, it's by far the best phone I have used and performance wise it's a well deserved upgrade from Shamu.
The only downer right now is the lack of twrp but everything else about the phone is amazing.

It came today. Playing with it now. I really like how it feels in my hand. The Nexus 6 was horribly uncomfortable.

Exactly. This solved the slightly too wide issue Shamu had. I will say the smaller screen will take a little getting used to. I still find myself wishing for a slightly larger one fairly often.
I am switching to 3a from original MotoX running JellyBean mostly due to the battery not lasting long enough. I had a spare Moto X that I bough used for $100, this one runs KitKat and battery life is better (I rarely used/charged it) but it has problems running Google Maps, so considering current promotions on Amazon I finally made a move.
How do you know your phone is too old? When Chrome Browser has a menu item that says there will be no further browser updates due to OS not being supported. This is what I have on JellyBean, the one on KitKat is still being updated but inability to use Google Maps and a lot of new apps no longer being compatible finally pushed me to upgrade.
Og pixel xl about to be unsupported no more security updates after december so here you go moved on to a pixel 3a xl. I found a Great deal on amazon 150 off for a used 6 month old phone pretty satisfied.:good:
Got my P3aXL Friday. Great device.
But, I could see getting by with my Nexus 6 another year or so on LineageOS and a new battery.

Long time no see... Just ordered my 3a xl... are you still doing roms or kernels these days on that german site?
I have a kernel thread here. As soon as all the Rom issues get worked out Velocity will be alive and well again here as well.

Great... and your on xda which just makes it all easier for us end users. I think I am the only one of your original 3 n6 testers thats still messing with roms. Once I get mine and settle in maybe I will test for you again as those private velocity builds we tested made the n6 screaming fast

Dang dude, that's impressive.
I got a LG G3 in 2014, but moved to a Honor 8 after a couple of years before moving to the 3a XL a couple of months ago. Both those phones where rooted, but the manufactures were slow with updates and eventually stopped updating them. I ran custom ROMs on both, but eventually even those dry up, especially when a new major Android version comes out and the manufactures doesn't update the drivers to the new OS. Perhaps I'll have better luck with the 3a.
The Nexus 6 got lots of support from the custom ROM community. I'm hoping this 3a will be supported close to the same.

Will be by me as long as I own this. The main reason I moved in from Shamu was Pie was never functional to my standards on it. Many things never worked right and the battery was much worse than Oreo.

Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of development on the 3a series. There is certainly more development on the flagship 3/4 level than the 3a, but even that level is less than the Nexus 6 - at least in the heyday. I don't think that will ever change. The good news is that raw Pixel OS isn't bad and obviously we can root our phones and have access to some development and modifcations, but it will never be at Nexus 6 levels.

Shamu was no cake walk to get fully functional builds on for the first 3-4 months after it came out and that was a basic 32 bit device with none of the recent security, partition, and other fun Google has thrown at us with Android 10. Shamu was also one of (if not the best) devices you could buy in 2014. Development will get sorted out at some point (soon hopefully) and when it does there will be at least 1 Rom for these which is all I need.
LineageOS is still kicking out updates for the Nexus 6.
I know a battery swap is doable, but a little more than what I want to dig into. Otherwise, I had no real reason to move on.

That may be, but Pie Roms on Shamu were never fully bug free and the battery was never as good. I spent months trying to get all the issues resolved and never did. The reduced battery youre seeing is almost certainly from running a Pie Rom and not because the battery is too old. Just prior to getting the 3a I was running my Oreo build and still getting 5-6 hrs SOT on it vs roughly 2.5-3 on any/every Pie build I made (or tried).
Hi all I have the Xperia 1 IV which I'm sending back due to overheating and I did have the s22 ultra but sold it
I'm looking at getting the pixel 6 pro and I'm thinking of rooting and flashing custom ROMs ect
Is they anything in place that causes problems (like on Samsung phone Knox,) where if I ever wanted to return to stock I could and it will be as if it was never rooted ect
And how are people finding the pixel now after all the updates ect does the tensor chip hold up (I don't really game)
Thanks

You can return to stock fairly easily, especially if your bootlaoder is unlocked or unlockable. Android Flash Tool is probably your best bet. You can also flash the factory image via fastboot, sideload the OTA and factory reset. There is also a flash tool created by @badabing2003. There are many guides in this forum you can peruse through.
I personally find this phone very good. Opinions will differ, of course, depending on people's experience.
I've had mine since March. The Only issue(s) I had was the fingerprint sensor was a bit laggy, but one of the updates fixed that.
The only "real" issue I've had, as have many, is the modem chip still has a few bugs.
The signal level is a bit hit or miss. On my previous phone, I pretty much has full strength all the time in the area I typically operate in. With the 6Pro, sometimes the signal level drops. Most of the time if you put it in airplane mode for a few seconds, then turn it back on, it corrects. To me, it's a minor glitch that doesn't bother me.
The 6 Pro overheats on warm days too unfortunately. It's been happening a lot lately.
The camera stops working and the phone gets very slow. 5G gets disabled too when it happens.
I think your first mistake was selling the S22U. The second would be buying the 6 pro.
At least wait to see what the 7 pro has to offer. Hopefully it addresses the 6's shortcomings.
I've been using the six pro for 4 months now and didn't have the heatimg or the fingerprints or any other issues.
Solid experience for me, I highly recommend the device
I've had 1 overheat warning (and that was yesterday) but we are seeing shade temperatures up to 40C in the UK at the minute, stands to reason the hardware isn't going to be cooler then the air around it. Any use in direct sunlight even on cooler days has always made my P6P feel really hot in the hand but when you look at the battery temperature it isn't even at charging temperatures.
When the weather is a bit more normal for the UK though i can shoot video at 4K 60FPS without any problems or heating warnings.
Hi I have a Question. I have a pixel 6 pro Verizon branded. Last month when the march security update was posted I sideloaded it because i did not see a verizon specific build. I found out later that people on verizon got the ota a week later. Is there a difference? The reason i ask is because the phone is running like crap ever since. It seems to have broken my wireless charging. And my phone only charges rapidly when plugged in. I am using the wire that came with the phone and the gooogle 30 watt charger. Before this update my phone used to charge rapidly till about 50 then it would progressivly slow down until it was at a trickle and it never really charged past 75 or 80 wired or wireless. Except if i used a non usbpd charger then it would charge all the way if i let it. And that was with no alarms set and i do not use the digital wellbeing at all. And i liked it that way. I used to use a chargie but there was no need for it on the p6. My wifes p6 non verizon has the same issue and I allso sideloaded her march update. I factory reset my phone last night. One other thing i want to mention. My platform tools were from 2021 i think version 30 or something so they were old. I updated them today and sideloaded the april update. It is a little to early to tell but it seems like it is still not charging wirelessly.
Can anyone give me any insight about this? And should i leave my wifes p6 and wait for Verizon to send out the ota? And I will not sideload the next update and see if it gets any better maybe. For the record i have never had any issues with sideloading before
I would recommend you do clean flash your P6Pro Verizon version in case of unpredictable thing happening.
How do I clean. Flash it? The bootloader is locked. I can only side load. I did a factory reset and then side loaded the April update. It doesn't seem like there is anything different. I don't see an specific Verizon build.
it seems like Verizon has got an issue with the pixel 6 series. All the other pixel models including the 7 have gotten their updates for April. I think that i messed up my pixel 6 pro by sideloading the march and April update. The battery life is horrendous now. I have to charge my phone all the way to get through an 8 hour shift at work. And I dont even really use my phone while im at work. I used to charge to 80 and get through the shift just fine with some battery to spare.
I am now considering getting the 7 pro because it seems to have better support and the modem is supposedly better too.
