    I guess my IMEI isn’t eligible even though it’s a pixel 6a, they mentioned the 4a had two different battery manufacturers and only one was a problem but they didn’t say the same for the 6a. The battery doesn’t seem to last as long as usual but that’s probably all the AI shit that I tried to turn off. I only need a phone that does messaging, plays music, takes good pictures, has maps and a small fast web browser. Everything else is just useless fluff.

      They skirted around it on the official doc. They didn’t explicitly say not all 6a devices are affected. They instead say if yours is affected, based on where you got it from and what are the laws in your area, you might be eligible for compensation or free repair.

      It is entierly possible that hardware lottery is in play and some batts are feom a different supplyer. From what I gathered.
