I had a pixel 4a and currently have a 5a and never had any issues

• ndriscoll 3y ago
  I got a pixel 6a after the 4a's power button started going wonky for no reason (it'd randomly think it was being pressed and bring up the power menu with the emergency call button, which is not great when you're using the phone and might tap that button on accident). The 6a had a bug for the first month or two where the brightness slider control was offset from where it appeared on the screen (so you had to slide your finger somewhere else to get it to work). It also constantly crashes the entire phone with Firefox if you have the URL bar on top, which as far as I know is still not fixed after over a year. There's some multitude of permissions that have to all be set correctly to get e.g. Pagerduty calls to come through during bedtime mode, and even with the permissions + adding PD to contacts, I missed a call. I can't remember whether it was because I hadn't starred them, or whether my volume was set to silent. In any case, you have to search online to have any hope if finding the correct settings to make it work (the app used to max it out and turn off silent mode and everything just worked with 1 slider. I presume that if that stopped working sensibly, it's because of Android changes). Honestly all of the Pixels I've owned have left me pretty unimpressed with Google's engineers, and the UIs get worse each year.
