I fixed my Pixel 4a after the update of death

By updating it to Lineage OS 22 and fell in love all over again. Although I did have one of the affected Pixel 4a devices (thanks for the $50 Google) I never experienced reduced battery performance or instability that others claim to have experienced.

I've always thought about updating to Lineage OS 22 after the Pixel 4a EOL, but never got around to it for one reason or another. But after seeing that scary and persistent message in the Battery settings page, I decided to immediately switch to Lineage OS 22.

Sure, it'll never be as secure as a supported Pixel phone because the drivers and firmware versions are forever frozen in time, but at least it'll get security updates and OS upgrades.
