Some Pixels are bricked and Google apparently won’t help revive them

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 08:36:40

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A Redditor has claimed that many owners of older Pixel phones are suffering from bricked devices. The problem purportedly occurs after switching slots, flashing certain ROMs, downgrading the OS, or installing the June 2025 update. Google is apparently refusing to provide recovery bootloader images to fix the issue. Tinkering with Android phones has become an increasingly complex endeavor, as phone brands and Google step up software protections. Unfortuna

The Jonas Brothers music video isn’t the camera flex Google hoped for

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 10:30:22

I don’t mind the Jonas Brothers. I grew up when they starred in movies like Camp Rock and watched them make a few appearances at Penn State over the four years I was there. Honestly, their music is decent — even if I don’t make the biggest effort to seek it out. So, I was happy to go into the debut of their “I Can’t Lose” music video with an open mind, mainly since it was shot on the Pixel 10 Pro that I’m so eager to review. But now that I’ve replayed it a few times, I’m not sure the partnershi

Matter Is Finally Ready to Deliver the Smart Home It Promised

Last month's Ikea's announcement of more than 20 new Matter-over-Thread devices felt like a much-needed breakthrough moment for the high-profile smart home standard. If Ikea—a brand with a broad, not necessarily tech-savvy customer base—is all-in on Matter, have we finally arrived at the smart home utopia that was first promised back in late 2019?

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google Photos is adding the popular tap-and-hold sticker creation feature to the iOS app. Users can press and hold a photo subject to quickly copy or share it as a standalone sticker. It’s unclear if Google Photos on Android will get this easy sticker creation feature.
