Google Pixel 6: Pixel 6 screen popping out from the left edge.

Sun, 18 May 2025 10:26:25 -0700

Hi, i have a strange issue with my pixel 6 screen. It keeps popping out from the left edge. I tried to use the genuine adhesive and super glue t7000 but no luck, always the same results. The battery is located at the right, it's flat and was changed recently. Looks like something is pushing the screen from the left. The middle frame, which contains clippers, is stacked with no issue, just the screen is out.

Any suggestions?

Google Pixel 6: Pixel 6 Screen Unresponsive after battery replacement (1st charge).

Mon, 16 Dec 2024 06:28:01 -0700

I replaced a Pixel 6 battery. I did a preliminary test and everything was working well. But now after the first battery charge, the entire screen is unresponsive to the touch! Also note that the adhesive doesn't seem to be holding well even after sitting overnight with books on top. Could that have something to do with it?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Google Pixel 6: Long term battery storage

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 01:18:22 -0700

I have had my pixel 6 for since 2021 and I love my phone. It hasn't slowed down for me at all and besides the battery swelling up and a cracked screen of my own blunder.

I have since then bought a replacement screen and a replacement battery and i feel as if I'm using a completely brand new phone. I want to buy additional screen and battery to keep for the long run (maybe 10 years of use) before I buy another phone.

What do you guys think the best long term storage of Lithium ion batteries for phones are? I heard some people say leave it at 50% and store room temp. Ive read others store it at 4*C.

If i do need to recharge the battery once in awhile, is there a tool I can use to do this without taking my original phone apart?

I also plan to buy a replacement screen to act as a back up incase i break it again and it is no longer being manufactured; are there specific storage quirks that are associated with storinge phone displays over time?

Google Pixel 6: New LCD Screen (with frame) - can't install

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 15:49:13 -0700

I purchased a new LCD screen for my pixel 6. I got the one advertised as 'with frame'. I realize now that the screen that i took off the phone came out without the said frame. What is the approach I should take - can I remove the frame that is within the phone along the sides or do i remove the frame from the new screen (which doesn't appear easy). What approach is best/possible? If i can remove the old frame from the phone does the new screen with the frame just click in at that point?

Google Pixel 6: Sometimes the phone turns off when the call is connected

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 01:15:05 -0700

My pixel 6 at the moment when I take a call or someone take my calling reboot itself.

It happens not every time
I think the state of battery and "battery saver" influence on it

Google Pixel 6: How to Reattach Display Frame?

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:37:29 -0700

Hello!

Had a swollen battery and replaced it with the kit just fine. My issue is that the swelling separated the screen from the plastic frame, so that's fully separated now. What adhesive can I use to reattach this frame? The adhesive that came with the battery kit attaches to this frame, not the screen itself, so I think the right adhesive matters. Replacement screens already have the frame attached.

Google Pixel 6: Little Gold 'contact' fell off when replacing battery?

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 21:39:18 -0700

My question is... When I replaced the battery on my son's Google pixel 6, a little gold 'contact' fell out of the inside. As you can see by my crudely labelled pic, this 'contact' is the same as point 1 and 2 but came from somewhere around the '?' area.

Can anyone confirm what this is and whether I need a professional replacement or will the phone be ok without it. I did so well as my first time repair but this little thing just fell out. I'm assuming it's something important 😔 and my attempt at saving a few quid by doing the repair myself has actually cost me more. Thank you in advance

Google Pixel 6: All sensors failed after replacing display

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 07:37:07 -0700

This is after my second display replacement. First the audio was muting frequently for a second. It even happened for bluetooth. Then I noticed the proximity sensor failure and then gyroscope and rest. I have even removed and reinstalled the display. Did I miss any connection or my sensors were damaged somehow during the replacement? Pls help.

Google Pixel 6: Battery drain after replacement

Sun, 18 May 2025 07:08:59 -0700

Hi there,

The factory battery of my Pixel 6 (not pro or other, the 6) was getting bad, not lasting all the day anymore.

I purchased a new one and proceeded to replacement. But since then, it is worse than before (with a battery which is supposed to be brand new).

Of course we first think the battery is a bad one (cool, i lost money ! ) but, i wonder if that could be a software problem.

isn't that possible the new battery is not setted up properly, or the phone system cannot calculate the battery capacity well ?

i noticed something interesting : my phone is slow (not very much but enough to be spotted) when fully charged. The display animations are lagging, typing text is worse than usual, not precise, not always understanding which key i press etc. When the battery is close to 0%, everything is back to normal. The phone is much faster, precise etc.

this is what makes me think it is a software problem.

i want to be sure what exactly the problem is, before buying a new battery.

Any clue could help me

thank you !

Google Pixel 6: Rear camera stopped working after screen replacement

Thu, 13 Mar 2025 00:57:35 -0700

Hi there,

I recently replaced my Pixel 6 screen. Since then, the rear camera stopped working. I tried a factory reset, which didn't solve the problem.

there is no error message when i wanna use it with the camera app or for example on whatsapp. the only result i get is a black screen, and sometimes, the camera app is crashing.

i didn't use any metal tool when replacing the screen, so no chance i could have damage the camera with a short circuit.

what could be the problem ?

My pixel 6 digital zoom is blurry like it's not focussing, I guess there's no problem with the lens because its a digital zoom not an optical zoom, I've also tried zooming with a third party app (Snapchat), still it's blurry

Google Pixel 6: Display replacement is a lot dimmer than the original

Hello, after screen replacement ordered from ifixit everything is working perfectly, even the finger print is present without calibration. But the display itself is somewhat dimmer than the original, is that normal, or is it there any calibration that has to be done?

Google Pixel 6: Touch stopped working and a week later screen doesn't work

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 09:59:21 -0700

A week ago my phone touchscreen would intermittently stop working, I found temporary fixes in popping my screen off and holding at certain angles, making me think it is damaged wiring on the connection cable itself, but last night when readjusting my screen the touch didn't come back on, and this morning no matter how I reconnected my screen, the screen wouldn't even turn on. Though when I go to restart I can feel the phone vibrating so I know it's on. If I could get an answer that hopefully doesn't mean a whole new replacement screen, again, I would be very grateful. I'm hoping to hear back soon, because my college education system uses a two step authentication that only goes to my phone and on campus IT support is down for spring break.

Google Pixel 6: knelt on my phone, and now has a black screen.

Sat, 02 Mar 2024 07:58:39 -0700

I have a pixel 6 and knelt on my phone, there are no cracks, but the screen has gone black with the occasional green light going through it with different pressures applied. The touch screen still works, I can still swipe up to answer phone calls and use Google Assistant to make calls Also the camera still works as I can use the power/volume control buttons to take photos and can see them through the cloud. Is this repairable? also DIY repairable?
