Common Pixel 4a issues we check at inspection

  • Screen burn-in on OLED display. Ghost images from status bar, navigation buttons, or keyboard visible on OLED panels after extended use. The Pixel 4a's OLED is susceptible to this over time.
  • Battery degradation below 80% health. Original 3140mAh battery showing <80% maximum capacity after 2+ years of use. This is typical for most phones of this age.
  • Cracked or damaged screen. Physical damage to the Gorilla Glass 3 front, often from drops. May include cracks, chips, or dead pixels.
  • Faulty charging port. USB-C port becoming loose, corroded, or failing to charge reliably due to wear and tear.
  • Speaker or microphone issues. Distorted audio, low volume, or complete failure of the earpiece speaker or main microphone.
  • Software glitches or boot loops. Phone stuck in a boot loop, freezing, or experiencing persistent software errors that factory reset cannot fix.

How do I wipe my Pixel 4a before selling it?+

Back up, remove your Google and manufacturer accounts (to clear the factory-reset lock), remove your SIM/SD card, then factory reset. We wipe it again to NIST 800-88 standards and email you a Certificate of Data Erasure.
