A bit off topic but google keep their mouth shut on this issue.
I've got a Pixel 4a and my camera doesn't work. (I have to wait 15 seconds before the "viewfinder" even shows an image and then it might update the picture once every third seconds (if I'm lucky) - completely unusable). And it seems to be a very common issue. The ratings on the camera apps tell that users of seemingly all pixel devices have had this issue since recent updates (for at least a month now).
Not a word from google. I have no idea how to even figure out if this is a hardware or software issue.
Anyone know anything about this?
- gecko 6y agoNope, but the fact that the Pixel 4a's screen glass is absolute shit compared to any other phone I've had means it scratches stupidly easily. This is kind of known, as far as I can tell, looking at forums, and Google notably was willing to let me RMA over it. Not a damage warranty, straight exchange. There being camera issues sounds entirely in line with that. I really, really miss my Pixel 3. It was easily my favorite phone. The 4a is simply not a match.
- londons_explore 6y agoGoogle engineers internally only really work on the latest device and next year's device. At this point, while you are technically supported, practically no bugfixes are coming your way. Return it and buy another phone.
- dont__panic 6y agoThe 4a is the latest phone in the "a" series, being the smaller version of the 4a XL. The phone came out in July 2020.
- kllrnohj 6y agoYou should skip to contacting support & getting a replacement. That's unlikely to be a software issue.
