Google Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro

Bit of movement on my headphones, they're in Ireland. Hopefully they'll arrive Tuesday.

I would've thought that you just do a factory reset.

It took me about 5 seconds to find this - they do provide instructions here:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

I'm sure with some further use of a search engine of your choice, you could find a guide that further breaks this down. There are probably video guides on YouTube too.

The process naturally cannot be made super simple or frankly you'd probably just have many more posts here of people who'd messed up their phones trying this simply because they could!

If anyone who's affected cannot follow these instructions then the odds are you know a nerd/techy/whatever that can and will do it for you.

Going by reports above, there will be no fix from Google in the short term and so if you find yourself badly affected by these issues and have no spare device to fall back on then you really should try to flash back to November image. You will need to wipe the phone in the process so back up first.

If you don't want to flash and you don't want to wipe then, I'm sorry, but you are stuck. I doubt that anyone here would disagree that Google are not handling this well at all and I am surprised at their lack of response. I can live with the issue as I'm not badly affected but obviously there are those that are. There may be avenues open to such people to return their phones to whatever vendor that they were purchased from under the grounds that they are not fit for purpose but I've seen no posts here related to that so I'm not sure how that will go but it's worth exploring if someone has become that exasperated. Anyone who got the phone as part of a contract may be able to enlist the help of ComReg but will have to engage with their mobile operator and jump through their hoops first.

Perhaps anyone who has pursued above could report how they got on? Although I imagine many will not have done so as it might jeopardise their free headphones but maybe there are some...?

There are Citizen information and Consumer Rights groups to try as well. They may have some advice or approach that can be taken with this in regards to dealing with Google customer services.

While I recognise the frustration, there's no one here who can fix the issue for any of you beyond recommending flashing back to November and that involves following the flashing process. Alas there's no magic button other than waiting for next update in a few weeks time!

Anyone know anywhere I can walk in to and get a decent Pixel 6 Pro case in Dublin, Wicklow tomorrow. Ordered online and between phantom "In Stock" from online reseller, I want to get something before I use my phone which arrived 4 days ago.

It's odd, my An Post tracking had the headphones sorted in Dublin on Jan 1, but I checked tonight and now the site says they have no info. Regardless I'd expect them on Tuesday

EDIT - arrived this morning, surprised An Post was delivering today.

My headphones arrived this morning wit An Post.

Just out of interest, was it the regular post man delivered them or a dedicated parcel an post delivery van, we get both usually!

Had the post man come with a different, smaller package this morning.

Still waiting on my headphones, my claim was approved on 11/11 so the 60 days are nearly up. I checked the 'Track Your Claim' page again this morning and it just says 'Claim Approved' and I the last update was 25/11

Same here. I bought the phone on launch day and made my claim the first day it was available too.

My Bose NC 700 headphones arrived this morning also. Enjoying them, Nice bit of kit.

DHL notification of Headphones tracking on the 27th of Dec at 19:00 and nothing at all since then. Anyone else in the same boat?

Also, I'm getting random rebooting on my Pixel 6. More than once a day. Haven't got around to the factory reset yet.
