No need to be on Graphene and strip usability so much, just get a rom without google or with micro-g, and don't sign in to google (as even with playstore sandbox it will still complicate the matter unnecessarily)

About Titan M2 Chip
The Titan M2 chip is a security chip designed and manufactured by Google, primarily used in Pixel mobile handsets to perform security-sensitive functions such as enforcing Android Verified Boot and backing the Android Strongbox Keymaster module.
This chip operates independently within Pixel devices, providing robust data protection with its dedicated RISC-V CPU and cryptographic accelerator.
It enhances the overall security framework of Google's Pixel devices, offering multiple layers of protection for personal data.
The Titan M2 chip is not just a passkey; it is a secure cryptographic element embedded in Pixel phones that performs various security functions beyond storing passkeys.
It supports Android Strongbox for secure key storage, ensuring top-notch data security.
The Titan M2 security chip runs its own minimal operating system, often called a microkernel, which operates independently from the main processor of the device. This standalone processor has its own flash memory for storing sensitive data and runs its own software to execute security functions.

By the way, if you are stuck not being able to choose another phone, you can still copy data on your computer .
There is also free sync app which allows you to sync between your phone and computer.
In general, it's safer to keep data on computer than on Phone anyway.

Anyone think that 128gb is too small nowadays for a 500 dollar phone? I hate storage alerts on my phone and imagine that a few years of pictures and videos and 128gb would not be enough and you'll have to upgrade or get Google one storage which Google obviously want you to do.

I have not been able to accurately measure battery health both with the one from Android and other apps as they always give me conflicting numbers.

Anonymous, 15 May 2025How is it possible for battery to go bad so fast? I think ... moreLi-Po batteries are trash. They use them in anything budget to save costs and increase profits. I know this because I have one in a Moto and it has already lost 7% after just 3 months. By this rate, 1/3 would be gone in 12 months which would render it useless.

I think you should just buy replacement battery online and take it to a shop.
Pixel battery is difficult to replace.

Hey, has anyone here managed to successfully complete a battery replacement on the Pixel 9a? My battery on my Pixel 9a has become degraded already and needs replacing, but I am unable to remove the battery on this phone, the adhesive is way too strong. I tried using massive amounts of heat but that did not weaken the adhesive one bit. Can someone help me?
