I'm glad it worked out for you.

The problem is, the Pixel 4a is not designed to have the battery be swapped and it's common to break screens and other parts of the phone in the process. You can look up what's involved and it's no surprise that this is the case.

It's basically a nice little case of hardware and software anti-consumer policies working together to break people's devices and force them to consume more.

Without legislation nothing will change.



I think the EU is fixing it for the pixel 11a and up.
