With my Pixel 4a’s battery at 35%, I attempted to manually take the battery update.
After charging the phone the update completed.
Now I will watch for changes related to this update, while waiting for Google to send me the promised code for the $100 discount on a new Pixel phone. If they’re recommending the battery be replaced, how can I not be eligible? In the past, something like this would have been considered a First World Problem, but that’s no longer true.
Update: So what has changed? The battery meter is locked at 100%, which can’t be correct. Having no idea when the battery is about to die means Google has effectively broken my phone.
Update Update: After sitting at 100% all day, the battery is at 94%. Most curious. Maybe I’ll resort to checking a 4a forum to see if anybody else has taken the update.
