Hello,
I was using my Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS since December and I was very pleased about the reliability and ease using it. In my opinion GrapheOS is a very good OS.
But since yesterday my phone seems dead. Here is what happened:
While I was out in the city the phone went out due to an empty battery. Not a big deal, this has happened to me before. When I came back home, I plugged in the phone and it booted right away as usual and worked fine. After at least 2 hours I unplugged it and took it with me to go somewhere else, but when I took it out of my pocket it was dead.
As far as I remember I also got the message while it was charging, that I should reboot due to an update. So I did tap reboot but did not watch the phone the whole time. The phone was still charging when I started the reboot.
So after I removed the charging cable and took it with me, I would have expected it to ask me for the SIM pin, but as mentioned before, it was dead. As far as I remember, battery was more than 60 percent when I tapped on reboot.
What I have tried so far:
-Of course I tried to turn it on by holding the power button.
-I held the power button for an extended period of time.
-I used the recovery mode button combination of power and volume down, also holding it.
-I plugged it back in, also using another charger and cable. The phone does not seem to accept power, the AC adapter is staying cool and normally they get warm.
-So all in all, the phone does nothing and it is not about the black screen problem I have read about with Pixel 6, because it does not charge and it does not vibrate.
Do you have any suggestions what I should try? Unfortunately it is also a long time since I did the last backup of my files and if I could get them back it would be wonderful. The phone also still has warranty by the dealer I bought it from, so if needed, I will have to send it to them and hopefully they can repair it. But I also wanted to know if there is something I can do before sending it in.
Thank you and have a nice day!
