    App crashes galore

    So all of a sudden about 50% of the apps on my phone crash upon opening. Amazon, Outlook, Pandora all crash upon opening, although when I look at what apps appear to be open in the background, they seem to be there. Does anyone have any good troubleshooting tips for this kind of stuff...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    So I think I found the issue. I finally paired my Tile trackers and lo and bought hold, boom fitbit started acting up, as did my bluetooth headphones. Uninstalled it abd seems to be back to normal. Anyone else have issues with this?? I'm pretty bummed as I "lose" my F'ing keys somewhere in my...

    Bluetooth headphones low volume after reconnect

    I've had my fair share of bluetooth issues with this phone and have had this problem myself, although not recently. Would love to know a solution if there is one out there...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    So I think I finally have some resolution. nothing worked untill I didn't factory reset (on my original device) and did NOT restore from backup AND I installed no apps besides Fitbit and Pandora. From there I've been in the clear with Bluetooth. Slowly I've been adding my apps back one by one...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    WOW now that is SUPPORT! I wish Google had done 1/10th this effort. Their support is SO limited. They tell don't do anything other than to tell you to factory reset the phone. If that doesn't work they offer to replace it. I'm tired of getting replacements. I'm still thinking it's likely a...

    4A 5G Case

    Second this... Ive used spigen rugged armor for ages on all my phones. I got a skinit.com custom photo case for my daughter 4a and my mom's 4a 5g. I don't like the case corners tho they protrude in an odd looking way but the photo is crisp. On the other hand I got my wife a custom photo case...

    Windows won't connect to my 4a5G

    I've had issues in the past where the drive letter the computer wants to use was taken by a disconnected drive. Probably not your issue but worth checking.

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    Thanks for the thought. It's all my devices, a fitbit (now 2 after my old ionic died when I tried factory resetting it when first troubleshooting the issue 😭), two car kits, a pair pixel buds, a pair of Sony neck buds, a set of logitech speakers and 2 tile trackers. Nothing seems to work after...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    I'm 3 for 3 in phones having bluetooth issues maintaining a pairing... I'm going back to my original thoughts that it HAS to be a settings thing, I can't be this unlucky. Worst is that Google won't allow me to just return the phone now. Anyone have any ideas here?

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    It is anywhere. The devices can be right next to each other, and it's not just fitbit it's any bluetooth device. They will stay paired for a while after rebooting the phone but eventually lose the connection and the only way to get them to reconnect is to reboot. So I don't want to be rebooting...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    Wow, I'm beyond disappointed with Google. So I have now gone through 2 phones with the same Bluetooth issues. Google sent a third and this time I got a refurbished phone. I contacted support and told them that they have said they would be sending a NEW phone not a refurbished one. The support...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    Looks like I should have done the return. Bluetooth issues came back with a vengeance. Main problems are it won't stay connected to my fitbit and Bluetooth headsets don't stay paired for calling. Seems that headsets stay paired for music though. Anyway replacement phone 2.0 is on its way. Wish...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    Wondering what you all might think. So my problem has disappeared, but my replacement from Google is on its way. Should I keep the replacement device and return my current phone? I am kind of leaning that way, but hopefully I won't have the same issue again. Also, do you have guys recommend...

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    Magically of course now all my bluetooth devices seem to now work, now of course that my replacement is on its way. Now the dilemma is it just temporary???

    Pixel 4a 5G bluetooth issues

    Was hoping that the latest update would fix the issues, alas no. It's so bizarre at what will pair (and stay paired) and what won't. Hard to believe that it is a hardware problem and not a software/settings problem. But if Google insists I guess I will just have to try a new phone from Google...
