Does Google still void warranty if you install GrapheneOS on a Pixel?

Looks like it doesn’t?

You don’t own the phone btw. It’s in the TOS.

Stop parroting corporate propaganda.

It sounded to me that they were pointing out how fucked up it is that we don’t even own the hardware we pay for after clicking BUY. At least I would mean that.

grue ,

We do own the hardware we buy. It’s fucked up that corporations keep trying to gaslight us that we don’t, but their delusional claims aren’t actually true.

If it’s under warranty, they almost certainly cannot deny the claim for this or really many bullshit reasons manufacturers say like removing a “warranty void” sticker - which is still covered. You can sue in small claims. Check out the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act should you need to prove your point.

You cannot imagine the lies I had to tell to the people while working for Applecare.

In Europe, there are unofficial Samsung phones available 15-20% cheaper than from authorized stores. Just consider how often you need warranty repairs. I’ve changed 5-7 phones during my life and haven’t had any problems with them except cracked screens and worn batteries.

An ideal phone:

  • Fairphone 4/5 like build
  • Unlocking the bootloader without asking manufacturer for the code
  • Access to the flashing and pairing tools from the factory to eliminate bricking
  • U-boot, Coreboot or similar sane bootloader
  • (Close to) mainline Linux support for the components, to enable “lifetime” updates and OS freedom
  • Optional: headphone jack and SD card slot

What a dream… But sadly it probably won’t happen. They manages to establish this shit as a standard and that’s it.

Imagine PCs would be like that too. Would anyone buy them if they couldn’t install EVERYTHING? Or delete or change system-stuff/-apps? Or just go and install Linux? Or win? Or both?

If it’s still under warranty, they HAVE to unless they can prove your modification caused the system to fail. It’s no different than the silly stickers that say “warranty void if removed” - that’s a nice fantasy for the manufacturer, but at least in the US it’s been ruled those stickers mean absolutely nothing. If they’re refusing to fix a phone under warranty, contact your local AG and enjoy watching them squirm. Loop in the FTC for good measure.

My battery broke earlier because I installed GrapheneOS and abused speed charging thr entire time at night.

A stock android would slow the battery charge till the first Alarm.
