Google Pixel 4a: Sostituzione batteria con schermo rotto

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 02:31:37 -0700

Sono interessato a sostituire la batteria del mio Pixel 4a. Tuttavia, lo schermo del telefono presenta una crepa, apparentemente sottile e quasi impercettibile (infatti non da portarmi ad una sostituzione dello schermo). Questa crepa potrebbe portare a dei problemi nella sostituzione della batteria? Allego una foto per maggiori dettagli circa il danno. Grazie.

Google Pixel 5a: Perché non si accende più?

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 09:02:54 -0700

Fino a ieri funzionava, poi stamani non ha dato segni di vita.

Ho provato a caricarlo per un po',ma nulla,sullo schermo non appare niente.

Ho provato a collegarlo al PC,e inizialmente Windows mi dà il classico suono di quando si collega un dispositivo,ma subito dopo mi dà il suono di disconnessione. Questa cosa però continua in loop quasi come se il cavo si staccasse e riattaccasse ( Il cavo è apposto, infatti su altri dispositivi non fa questo difetto).

Non ha ricevuto danni da cadute o altro. E la batteria non è tanto vecchia.

Ho già provato con i riavvii forzati,ma non accade nulla, neanche una vibrazione per farmi capire che magari il problema è solo il display.

Da cosa potrebbe derivare il problema?

Inizialmente pensavo fosse il display solo perché quando lo collegavo al PC, mi dava il suono di connessione,ma ormai non ne sono più sicuro.

Google Pixel 6 Pro: Fingerprint scanner not working after replacing screen. Pixel 6 Pro

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:27:23 -0700

Fingerprint scanner not working after replacing. Android in-app tells me to go to g.co/pixel/fingerprintunlock which doesn't exist.

Google has a a fingerpint repair tool at https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps but it says my firmware is too new for the tool.

Now I have no fingerprint scanner and I used it on all secure apps.

Google Pixel 6: Pixel 6: Can't use fingerprint after screen replacement.

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 04:10:19 -0700

So I just replaced my Pixel 6's screen via the IFixIt repair kit (btw, this was way easier than expected, so that's a win). However, I can no longer use the fingerprint reader.

If I go to set it up I get an error message: "Can't use fingerprint sensor. Visit a repair provider or g.co/pixel/fingerprintunlock".

That website was seemingly irrelevant and definitely unhelpful :).

I just cracked my Pixel 2 XL, having it for just 4 days. No one can fix it right now...

In your teardown, can only glass be replaced? The LCD seems to be working as it responds well to my finger. Is the glass glued to the LCD assembly?

Google Pixel: My phone freezes on incoming & outgoing calls

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 08:21:33 -0700

Hi everyone! I purchased my google pixel when it was released. However, now it's useless as it freezes whenever i receive or make a call. Phone operates fine till I receive a call and then the phone freezes. It keeps showing the person calling animation and it doesn't go forward nor i can cancel the call. Thr phone completely freezes as soon as someone calls. Speakers and mic dont work. Shutting down the phone is the only option. I don't know what's wrong with the phone. Can't understand whether its the software or hardware.

I've already tried the following things:

1. Resetting and reboot

2. Installation of new software

3. Upgrading to latest os and then downgrading to previous one

4. Going on beta android P

All these things didn't really help. If anyone knows how to solve this problem please let me know.

Google Pixel 6a: fingerprint reader not working after screen replacement

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 21:10:24 -0700

I replaced the screen using the official ifixit screen with the integrated fingerprint reader.

after replacing the screen, the fingerprint function was not working.

if I try to enroll a new fingerprint, I get a prompt saying the phone can't use the fingerprint sensor and to take it for repair. it also included a link to "http://g.co/pixel/fingerprintunlock" which just redirects to google's docs on using the fingerprint reader.

I tried this tool: https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/ and after rebooting, I no longer get the prompt and can get to the enroll fingerprint stage, but it still fails to read my fingerprint; i get 'couldn't process fingerprint' no matter what finger or direction i press.

any assistance or insight would be appreciated.

Google Pixel: Fixing the microphone issue

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 08:24:25 -0700

I am suffering the microphone issue and there is not official service in my country, so, Is there a way to fix the main microphone issue?

Thanks!

Testing and testing, as nothing else could be done, i was able to record my voice using the main mic. My guess is that it still works, but something is interfering with the sound entering the phone.

Should I open it? Why should I look? How is the process of unstucking the diaphragm of the mic (as I read in the google forums that it can be one of the causes).

Thanks!

Finally, I bought the Charging Port PCB, I replaced it and the mic works really nice again. The main mic is in that PCB, so I finally replaced my phone. :)

Google Pixel 5: Where is the teardown?

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 11:29:40 -0700

Where is the teardown and repairability score for this phone? It's been out for 5 months and all there is is a x-ray. The pixel 4a, 4a 5g, every iPhone model, every Samsung model, Xbox, ps5, random Chinese manufacturer phones, OnePlus Nord, watches, speakers, headphones, even lame phone game controller s all get teardowns. But googles main phone for the year? Nothing.

Pixel 1-4 all got one. But the 5? ignored.

Disappointing by iFixit standards. Not a single repair guide or even parts.

But yeah let's tear down a robot pillow with a tail.
