22 October 2024
It's nasty enough that you should probably hold off on updating.

just another day in the world of Pixel users.
When has Google ever pushed a new update that didn't break something in their hardware?

      Rizz God, 22 Oct 2024Dammm!!!!! That shouldn't have happened. I wanna see G... moreSurely a refund or replacement phone?

        Sad days for tech. We now have updates ruining phone screens with green lines,destroying motherboards and bricking whole devices. Unlike in the past where we used to eagerly rush to update to the latest software, now we have to be cautious Not to immediately install latest update.
        Granted, bugs were there and will be there, but the severity just seems getting worse and worse.
        How did we get to this?

            I knew something was going to go wrong when I decided to update my 6 Pro to Android 15.

                  So apparently bricking smartphones and smartwatches is the newest gift of these big tech DEI companies to the customer.

                      My pixel6 is restarting in a loop now few days after upgrading to Android 15. There is no easy way to roll back either.

                        Something very similar happened with my nexus with the lollipop update. I never recommend anyone to buy a nexus or pixel device. They are just prototype devices and their buyers are like testers. Why would anyone want to pay to get a beta version device. This story has remained consistent since google has been making devices.

                            Anonymous, 22 Oct 2024Would not happen if android 14 was its last ever update. Which begs the question: What good in giving 7 years OS updates when Google's software QC is already going down the drain?

                              PureOS, 22 Oct 2024Its strange that happens on pixel 6, cause android 15 is la... moreImagine you have a Pixel 6 and Google bricks it with an update and tells you to simply buy Pixel 9. Would you do that based on your experience? - No! Any sane human would buy a phone from a different brand next time.
                              My fist smartphone was a HTC and they completely destroyed it with updates so I returned it and never looked at phones from that brand again and where are they now?

                                But the worst downside is how quickly they start phasing out and discontinuing support for older apps. Apps that work perfectly well, without any issues, mind you.

                                Android really needs to start natively adding a sandbox with legacy support for apps and games.
