This morning I turned on my phone, now it's stuck at the "G" screen with the scrolling line underneath it.
Tried rebooting, same thing. Never had any phone do this before, really not liking this, what can I do??

(I Convinced my wife to get rid of her old iphone and was going to setup her Pixel 3A today, now I'm wondering if that was a mistake...?)

Try forcing it to restart power by power button and volume down same time until it does

I've seen people have this problem after an Android update but far as I know there hasn't been any in a while. Wonder what caused this?

mine is stuck with the G, how do I get to safe mode from there?

If it's stuck on the G, then force a shutdown by pressing and holding Power for about 20 seconds. Then power on, and when you see the G logo, press and hold Vol Down to see if it boots into Safe Mode.

I just realized this was in the General News forum -- I moved it to the Pixel 2 XL forum instead.

I posted it there thinking that forum probly gets more traffic since the 2 is an older model...


... but I'm still open to suggestions on my problem, PITA!
