That is not what the eligibility tool for the battery program is telling me.
And Google Support told me the same thing when I asked for clarification about how the eligibility is determined.
Edit: The email says Pixel 7a, but that is a mistake on their part. I have a Pixel 6a.
Not OP but it would appear that any phone that is out of warranty will be denied a repair or refund.
I’ve been emailing back and forth with Google support about this issue for the past two weeks, and thusfar the only information I’ve gotten is that the reason my phone is denied a repair or refund is because the warranty expired in 2024.
I don’t even have information on whether my phone contains a defective battery in the first place. Since the refund eligibility tool doesn’t say that, and I haven’t received an answer to that question yet from support.
Given that the Pixel 4a came out in 2020 and the Pixel 6a in 2022, with warranties generally lasting 2 years, most phones will be out of warranty.
Edit: This is the most recent response I’ve received from Google Support.
The reason why the terms “eligible” and “impacted” are used like this is because I was trying to figure out the reason for the inconsistencies between the terms on their support page
I am very disappointed with the way Google appears to be handling the issue. They ship their phones with defective batteries, and are now not really doing anything to properly communicate the problem and fix the issue.
Instead we get a mandatory update and no real information
My server has also not been liking the heat over the past month
Though in my case it’s because drive 3 is sitting in a slot that is possibly not getting enough airflow. It’s consistently running a bit hotter than the other drives in the system.
I really should get around to moving it to a different slot.
That seems like something that could pretty easily be added to the label down the line.

Be sure to make regular backups of your data.
… and using RAID is not a backup.
That’s fair. I do miss the good ol’ HTC days.
I’m on the Google Nexus/Pixel train now though
Thanks for updating the title so people don’t misinterpret it as happening recently
This is an article from 2018.
Not sure why OP posted this
Could we add holiday logos for the Dutch (and Belgian) holidays of Sinterklaas (December 5th and 6th), and perhaps Kings Day? (April 27th)
If I have some direction on the style I could perhaps Photoshop something together :)
Edit: Carnaval would be fun too, but that one might be tricky because it falls on a different day every year (and is also not consistent between countries, I don’t think…)
In other words, the price of the Pixel 8 Pro will be higher in order to include a smart watch that you may or may not even want
That’s a valid concern, but it also assumes that the requirements for apps will go up in a similar trend as they did in the previous 8-10 years.
I’m not entirely convinced that they will. Smartphones 10 years ago were still very much a developing product category, whereas I think today they are generally matured.
Just look at laptops as a comparison. When they were still rapidly developing, an eight year old laptop would have pretty much been obsolete. But today an eight year old laptop will still serve most people perfectly fine.
It won’t be top of the line, but I don’t really see why it wouldn’t still be usable at least.
And even if the person buying the phone today won’t consider it usable for their needs in eight years time, they can still sell it to someone who doesn’t have a need for a high spec’ed phone.
I think you can look at it similarly to how one would look at an 8 year old laptop today.
A decently spec’ed laptop from 2015 is still very usable today, as long as you keep your expectations reasonable.
You can plug a USB hub into your phone. That’d give you more ports.
I’m fairly certain there are hubs out there with a pass-through for charging as well
OS: Unraid
It’s primarily NAS software, with a form of software raid functionality built in.
I like it mainly because it works well and the GUI makes is very easy to use and work with.
On top of that you can run VMs and docker containers, so it is very versatile as well.
I use it to host the following services on my network:
It costs a bit of money up-front, but for me it was well-worth the investment.
