What up with your charger port ? Got a pin in and cleared all the fluff out ? Makes a massive difference!

Tried that a few times, pulled out loads of dust but made little difference, need to put the cable in at a weird angle to get it to charge now, if it doesn't sit exactly right, it won't charge.

If I forget, I can come back 30 minutes later and it hasn't charged at all... so annoying.

New pixel 6 pro on it way tomorrow as camera is still glitching randomly. Similar to below

Though mine sometimes works then freezes and forces reboot.

i have a feeling that if no one buys my refurb p6 i will cancel my s22+ order and join this thread full time again :cry:

Still tempted to take a gamble, been watching auctions on 6 Pro and some been going as low as £450 and doesn't seem hard to bag one around £500 mark in great condition.

In case I need support from Google do they just work off the serial for warranty like Apple or have to prove I bought the phone brand new?

I'd be concerned people selling them on eBay are trying to get shot of phones that had issues. I guess that's why you'd want the warranty cover.

Yup that's the gamble but prices are tasty

From what I've been reading I wouldn't want to deal with Google support either.

So coming into this conversation a bit late, I'm getting the feeling the P6 phones can be a bit problematic?

gpuerrilla · 18 Mar 2022 at 18:31

Had mine from launch. Been good. Only negative I find is they could have made it lighter. Previous phone was heavy too so used to it.

Picked up a Pixel 6 on the £475 deal on O2 and I've been finding it fantastic so far. Getting between 5-6 hours SOT easy and the performance is snappy and so smooth. Nice to be back on Android after a few years on iOS which just feels so boring to use. Been using a lot more Google services recently so happy to have made the switch.

Took p6 off MM and back on it. Cancelled s22+ order - been too long wait ...

Only pain is I can't restore backup from previous p6 on google one...girl I talked to on google support last night was useless and I have just closed the tab...

My replacement 6 Pro has been rock solid in the camera department touch wood. No freezes and fast to process shots.

The rest of the phone is mostly excellent. Hands down the smoothest phone on the market I've used.

they are smooth I agree... and you are using custom launcher as well aren't you ?

Yep using Nova. However the stock launcher is even smoother.

The super smoothness extends everywhere too. All apps and menus.

No sign of an update yet today. Rumours indicated today as the delayed release date for Pixel 6 range

xb8browney · 21 Mar 2022 at 18:23

Yeah it's abit of a poor show that the new 6 range gets it late.

Doc1964 · 21 Mar 2022 at 18:46

Posts now appearing stating it is rolling out. Not yet though here in UK, hopefully later this evening.
