QUOTE(briantwj @ Nov 4 2022, 09:46 AM) does the pixel 6a have not support for VoLTE in Malaysia? Saw that Techbug now have offer for pixel 6A, tempted to buy 1 and play around with my first ever pixel lol I google-d and found this. It simply just say it's not supported in our country. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/threa...xel-6-pro?hl=enOnly if you enroll in android beta program. currently volte available for digi, maxis and celcom and all other carrier that piggyback on celcom like yodoo etc. umobile unifi sorry no volte. yes5g didn't hear anything. T&L Telecom on shopee selling for 1.5k MYR. Will get JP set. Probably can wait until 11/11 sale, can use 10% rebate on shopee.

Now after one week, the battery on my 6a seems has settled down. No more suddenly become warm. Got better battery life too from 4 hours use 50%, now can get 5 hours 50% battery.
But when I step out of my house, on data the phone still get pretty warm for no apparent reason. Full bar signal outdoors. Funny thing is, tried at home, indoor with half bar signal the phone didn't get warm. So probably has something to do with location/tracking on the phone?

QUOTE(cruzzmz @ Nov 7 2022, 01:20 PM) warm every time or sometimes only? Sometimes only. Not sure what triggering it. Battery usage in settings does not help much. I only have fb and whatsapp running in background. Today, at lunch I snap one picture of a cat and launch shopee app to check my order progress, phone became hot. Try to replicate the same on wifi, phone does not even feel warm to touch. 🤔

Anyone else uses their phone naked? No casing and no tempered glass? The 6a feels too chunky and too heavy to use with a case. Now after 1 week so far I have dropped the phone twice from knee height to carpet surface

QUOTE(petrofsky77 @ Nov 8 2022, 04:00 PM) The only people who can rock their phones completely naked are those that have tons of cash to spare in case they need to repair damage or just buy a new phone; and people who are really very good at keeping their phones on their hands all the time. The rest of us, better use a case. I got a record of using a xiaomi phone for 5 years no casing. Nothing catastrophic happened. With 6a im confident can do the same because of the plastic back. 🤔 QUOTE(Eugene91 @ Nov 8 2022, 04:42 PM) Hi all, any notable issues or mention for the Pixel 6a? How is your experience so far with the latest firmware updates? None so far. Although I notice about 10% battery drain more than usual, probably because the update took 2 hours to finish.

After 1 week+ using the 6a, battery life become even better. 2 hours GPS navigation in the background, 4 hours screen on time using social media, still have 50% battery. The adaptive battery is doing something right.
Now I wonder if tech reviewers only use this phone for few days before making a conclusion for the battery life.

QUOTE(JustForFun @ Nov 11 2022, 01:15 AM) Anyone successfully converted their 6a Japan version to Global version and relocked their bootloader? Wanted to get the Pixel 6a given the good price but kinda taken aback by the shutter sound issue .. Not that loud really. And it doesn't make the usual camera shutter sound, it's more like a dull click. Go for it, for the discount price really worth it. I think now can get like RM1450 ? For that price closest phone you can get Edge 30 or A53.

QUOTE(gojirawr @ Dec 6 2022, 03:52 PM) Hi, stupid question from me but how do you check if you have LTE? Do I call someone and have them pick up my call and only then I can check? In call history there should be HD sign beside the contact name. Or you can try turn off wifi, and make a call. LTE sign should stay. Without volte it will drop to E.

QUOTE(cruzzmz @ Dec 7 2022, 09:00 AM) Yes i tested it before i root and use the volte magisk ... it has volte but no wifii call but still need to root to get 5g  Ah I was hoping 5g would work. Seems like this 5G this is a complicates affair. QUOTE(hirota @ Dec 7 2022, 09:50 AM) Hello guys, I received my 6a, how to check my 6a is us or Japan version? From what I checked the camera setting no option to off the shutter sound, so can I assume mine is Japan set? Thanks Look at the back of the box, only have japanese text. Box does not come with official looking anti tamper sticker - if there is a sticker, probably the seller put it. And if you key in the IMEI on google repair site, it will say they cannot repair the phone for you.

QUOTE(Cyberman2 @ Dec 7 2022, 05:48 PM) Hi guys, Confuse with statement below if i were to opt out from QPR beta. Is the opt out process will wipe out my data?  1. Update to latest stable December build from beta (should be like 3mb update) 2. Opt out from beta 3. No data loss Data will be wiped out if you in beta program but have not installed latest stable build on your device.

QUOTE(petrofsky77 @ Dec 9 2022, 09:17 AM) weird, I checked and the was a small 8.9MB update this morning, but after the phone restarted, it's still showing October 2022. From what I read online, this seems to be a common thing on pixel after major OS upgrade trom previous android version.
