The other day I replaced my google pixel screen, battery, and power button assembly. The screen works great but now it will lock itself at random and the loud speaker no longer work (so no ringing phone but I can still use the microphone/small phone speaker). How could I have fried the loudspeaker? Why is the phone locking itself all the time? Is it worth taking it apart and possibly breaking the screen again?

Some issues during the install:

1. Cracked the old screen
2. Used a heating source with no temperature control (mini hot air gun that can also be a soldering iron)
3. Ended up ripping black tape underneath battery. I assumed it was a heatsink so I just used silver heatsink paste as a fix.

Thank you for your time and help.

I disassembled it again, rechecked all the connections, still nothing.

I plugged the phone in for about 30 minutes in case the new battery was completely dead, still nothing.

I don’t think I damaged the screen when I first removed it. Shouldn’t it still show up on Find My Device if it is ON but has a bad screen?

I tried taking it apart but my hair dryer doesn't seem to get hot enough to loosen the adhesive. I tried using a pry tool but I ended up cracking the screen.

Thanks.

Since I live in Brazil, I'm having difficulties finding some specific adhesives, like the ones available on iFixit website.

So I'm gonna have to buy some double sided tape. What sizes do I need? 2mm and 10mm?

I am trying to locate the other 2 microphones in a Google Pixel. I don't have the phone with me so I can't physically look. There is one on the charging port and 2 more, but where?

Customer has reported the other person can not hear them when on loudspeaker/video call. Other mic is working fine.

Thanks

I tried with uninstalling phone app updates first and then updated the app again. Still issue is not fixed. Is there any workaround for this ?

I was facing the issue of Pixel not charging occasionally. I gave it to the service center as it was under warranty. The service personnel says that he can see some small rust bits on board (refer images below) and thinks water has damaged the part so the motherboard needs to be replaced and it will cost ~ $460. I was not facing any other issues other than occasionally not charging.

Here are the photos https://goo.gl/qCEHJP

Do you recommend I go ahead and change the motherboard? or daughterboard? Please help!!

Thank you.

I waited for the 7.1.2 update to come thinking it will fix the errors but nothing. I decided to follow all the instructions and also factory resetting the phone but nothing changed. Need help please.

Dropped my Pixel 6 and the screen has completely gone black.

I tried doing some random button combination things (like the bootloader option thingy) to see if I could force it to shut down through those menus at least.

I fear I might've completely reset the phone by accident but don't know how to confirm it.

These are the behaviours I've got noted here:

- Plugging in the phone to charge vibrates the phone accordingly

- Vibration motor works

- Camera shortcut (double press off button) doesn't work (doesn't vibrate like normal)

- Pressing the power button and the volume up button does a short vibration which I believe is the silent mode physical shortcut

- Speakers and microphone worked (accidentally called emergency services LMAO)

- No HDMI output even when assisted with power delivery simultaneously

- Plugging in phone to charge makes bottom left of phone warm (same area as the crack on the screen)

- Phone isn't recognised over USB on Linux or MacOS via the normal operating system nor is it recognised over ADB (I had it set up with ADB for apps like scrcpy)

- scrcpy doesn't see the phone

Next steps and ideal goals/outcomes:

My ideal goal would be to recover the app data from it but the first step is to see if I accidentally reset the %#*@ thing.

I would appreciate the help to know what beviours I could look for to see if I've got it booted to the new setup screen. I think the double press to start camera shortcut not vibrating like normal is a sign that I might've just killed my own phone without realising it. :(

I don't know how else to pinpoint the working condition of the battery, screen, and motherboard.

More of a general question for all phones.

I have an OG Google Pixel 1 that one day randomly hard bricked itself. Shows up as QUSB_BULK in device manager.

The phone is in an extremely low level Qualcomm mode. This can be caused by:

- Actual physical hardware issue (will likely never get past this) such as memory dying

- A bad software update (known issue for some Pixel updates)

- Random

It's possible it could be either of the last two reasons - so you can attempt to reboot out of this low level mode.

However, the only way to do so is to drain the power completely and I mean COMPLETELY - so NO reserve/backup/emergency power - every single SCRAP has to be removed.

This can be done by disconnecting the battery, however you have to go through the screen to disassemble the phone to get to it - high risk of breakage.

Thus, I want to try and achieve this without disassembling the phone.

- My phone bricked in August 2020. It was charged a bit just after this event.

- It was never charged from then until I think about a year later (2021), when I charged it for around 20 minutes to try to revive it.

- Since then, the phone has not been charged (currently it is October 2022)

- Holding down the power button or any button combo shows no sign of life.

- Also, I've tried every combination of holding buttons (Power/Volume Up & Down, for varying lengths of time 1s to 10mins)

I heard that assuming the battery is fully discharged, I can ensure there is no reserve power by holding the power button for 10 seconds.

1. Is that actually true - will this eliminate all power from the battery and thus board?

2. If not, how can I achieve this?

I want to be absolutely sure that I have done all the right steps in removing all power from the board and battery, without actually disconnecting the battery itself, considering that it hasn't been charged in a year, before I try again now in October 2022 to revive it again.

All help appreciated.

I tried rebooting, I tried removing and reinserting the SIM, but no dice. I'm with PC Mobile in Canada, which uses the Talus network.

Any ideas?
