Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

evening all

Was just sat watching tv with Pixel 6 on charge and tried to bring it up out of standby and its is completely dead, wont start, do a hard reset, anything........

Anyone know of a dark magic to make it snap out of it? been faultless since release day and this is sadly out of the blue

Cheers

Have you tried recovery mode (volume down and power button simultaneously) You may have meant that with "hard reset"

I've had similar, but generally when I pull it out my pocket in bright sunlight and try to fingerprint unlock it.

What works for me is hold down the power button for a few secs, get a little haptic vibrate
Then touch the screen where the reboot button should be

Phone reboots OK.
I'd be replacing this phone round about now because of this, but my wife's p5A battery went into marshmallow mode 9 months after I had it replaced at iSmash (grrrr) so got her a 7a instead. Will need to wait a few months!

i ended up just going for a Pixel 8. I still haven't had any success on the 6 and think its a lost cause tbh, shame really
