- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y agoHow did the person conducting repair power it on and unlock it then? Edit: I mean how did they bypass the lock screen?
- Johnny555 5y agoSometimes letting the battery drain completely will clear a hung phone (which is like the old "take the battery out for 5 minutes, then try it again" trick). Or the service center knew the magic buttons to press to get it to boot. Or the battery was bad. Or one of a million other reasons that a phone can fail in a way that makes it appear dead, but a service tech knows how to get it running.

- open1414 5y agomaybe no password?
- nhumrich 5y agoThey probably fixed it first
- agilob 5y ago>All Pixels are encrypted by default as long as you have any kind of lock method enabled (PIN, password, shape...). No lock method?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y agoThat's what I think. Either no lock method, they're lying, or there's an unknown exploit or backdoor. Either way I'd be interested to know the outcome of this. As a Pixel user it's concerning.
