I don't think it would be antenna related. A bad antenna would not cause IMEI loss and so forth. You may have a bad bootloader or firmware and would require flashing original firmware onto the phone.

@PBKreviews Жыл бұрын
On the pixel 7a or another phone? It can be many different things. If the phone is being used, surfing the web etc, then the antenna is in use as well as screen being on generating heat and the battery as well on top of the processor. Heat is normal since the point of the phone is to remove heat from inside and exhaust it out of the phone. But if its really hot, then it could be water damage or the thermal paste or pads have worn out or dried up and don't work well to transfer heat.

Not too sure, but might be the additional copper plate inside and some other stuff. But don't go based off initial rumored specs, since not all of it seems accurate for example the battery size. This is an actual retail unit and the battery size is smaller than what initially was leaked on some specs.
