I imagine this will be disabled in the EU, but it’s a concern nonetheless.
Whatever the case I know that I’m very concerned about getting a pixel until they demonstrate several models that don’t swell or spontaneously combust into flames. I mean, if they had to kill the 4A, the 6A, which bursts into flames, and the 7A, that makes me highly concerned.
The fix is called Graphene OS.
Can this be installed even of your OEM Unlocking is greyed out?
From what I’ve read, Graphene pushed the battery updates though
Probably makes sense. They don’t want to be responsible for your phone exploding.
There were news recently that there won’t be grapheneos for newer models.
This isn’t fully true. The GOS team said that it would be much more work since they couldn’t use their automated tools to build the image, but not that it’s going to be impossible.

However, Google is definitely moving in the direction of locking everything down.
I just hate that 100-0% is a cycle regardless of the actual usage. 100-0% is more damaging to the battery than 80-30% twice.
I’ve turned it off on my P9ProXL just for that reason, i’m treating my battery well and will just swap it out if it’s shagged.
I didn’t understand why we didn’t set the expectation years ago of phones ignoring the top and bottom 20%. Change it so 80 is the new 100, 20 is the new 0, and then play up the longevity factor and some marketing bs around “we squeeze every last drop out of the last 5%” (ie letting the phone go to 18% or something).
We did. Your phone’s battery controller already does that, and the percentage displayed to you is normalized to the available range.
Then why are we still having to manage 80-20?
