- The Android 15 update for Pixel devices is causing unexpected bricking of Pixel 6 devices.
- Users report their Pixel 6 becoming completely unresponsive, with troubleshooting methods yielding no results.
- The issue might be related to the Private Space on Android 15, but further investigation is needed.
I thought this sounded familiar and sure enough, second paragraph:
The Pixel 6 series has a history of running into issues after Android updates. Last year, the Android 14 update locked some users out of their storage, and earlier this year, factory resets left many Pixel 6 devices unresponsive.
Disappointing, you’d think this wouldn’t happen with Google controlling both hardware and software

Perhaps, the testing folks thought the same thing as you, and skipped testing a thing or four. 🤣/s
Anyway, the 1st gen pixel users suffered the most. The latest gen pixel 8 series (and perhaps pixel 9) are not critically hit and have less heating problems. It sucks being early adopter for beta hardware and software. Google should compensate the affected users with upgrade to pixel 7/8 or even 9 series if possible.

Absolutely no issues with the GrapheneOS Android 15 releases
Just updated this morning, shit. Working okay so far, though.
Too late for me. It’s been fine so far, but I’m also not really using anything new.
My Pixel 6 survived the update! \o/
So Google’s own software bricks Google’s own phones? No waaay :-D
I wonder if the is just happening on the 6 or the 6xl is also affected. Either way I’ll not be exploring the private spaces for a while.
Hope my pixel 7 doesn’t get effed.
Classic Pixel problems. Every model 1000s complaints
