Use this guide to remove or replace the bottom side’s microphone on your Google Pixel 4.
The microphone is sealed against the frame with an adhesive gasket. If you remove the microphone, the Pixel will no longer retain its water resistance.
Caution: Google warns that disassembly of the front laser assembly could result in hazardous exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions. Read their safety warnings here.

Insert a SIM eject tool, bit, or a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the SIM card tray on the left edge of the phone.
-
Press firmly to eject the tray.
-
Remove the SIM card tray.

Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the back panel for one minute.
-
-
-
Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the back panel by pressing down on it to create suction, as close to the edge as possible.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the back panel and the frame.
-
Insert the point of an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick across the bottom towards the left corner to slice the adhesive.
-
With the pick still inserted, slide it from the bottom left corner over to the bottom right corner to completely slice the bottom side adhesive.
-
Leave the pick inserted in the bottom right corner to prevent the adhesive from re-sealing.
-

-
Prepare an iOpener and apply it on the left edge of the phone for one minute.

-
-
Prepare an iOpener and apply it on the right edge of the phone for one minute.
-
-
-
Slide the third opening pick around the top right corner and across the top side of the phone, slicing the final strip of adhesive.
-
-
-
Once you have sliced around the perimeter of the phone, carefully lift the right edge of the back cover, opening it like a book.
-
Do not try to pull the panel all the way off yet, as it is still connected to the phone.
-
-
-
Continue swinging open the back panel until you can rest it on the left edge the phone, being careful not to put any stress on the attached ribbon cable.
At this point I suggest taking a photo of what you're seeing in there. This way you can make sure you put it all back the way it was when you're done.

Remove the five T3 Torx screws securing the battery connector shield:
-
Four 4.0 mm screws
-
One 2.1 mm screw
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement T3 - 2.1mm screw (the one circled in orange)? I lost this screw during the battery replacement. Had it, dogs fought, had to get up to break it up, and couldn’t find it. I swore I put it on the mat, but I couldn’t find it when I got back to the table. :(

Remove the back panel.
Why does the kit not come with the back panel adhesive?
It's not cheap to get the full kit, and it seems like it's such a small thing to include.
I ended up re-using the existing back panel adhesive and now a bit worried that it's not as strong and I will have issues with water or moisture getting into the device more easily.

I have done the whole step twice with two different (aftermarket) cameras on a Google Pixel 4 and the first one didn’t work at all and the second one worked perfectly good but then stopped working after restarting the phone. Why? And the faceID doesn’t work when the whole thing is replaced so I put the old one back so I can use the faceID. Why did the front camera work perfectly untill we restarted the phone and then stopped working???
Maybe Google’s face ID works the same as Apple’s fingerprint or face ID module, they are bound with motherboards for security reasons.
