I got this Pixel 6 Pro from ebay. The seller said there were screen issues and it was about CA$200. But the issues are more than I was anticipating. Is there any hope? Or should I return?
-
a: bright white line/lines horizontally across the screen -
candb: cracks in the screen with black splotches behind the breaks so nothing is visible -
screen intermittently (but often) flickers. wasn't able to photograph.
-
It feels like the connection is loose inside. sometimes squeezing it seems to fix it temporarily. but I can't just be squeezing the device all the time, especially with an already cracked screen.
-
it also flickers in horizontal sections. the part from the white line to the top is the most flickering and the rest of it is divided in about 4 rough sections that display in consistently
-
Do you think a repair could fix it? especially the loose connection issue. I could live with everything except for the flickering which is really obnoxious. but is it possible to make a repair like this without fully replacing the display?
On iFixit the display is listed for CA$300... I would probably not do this myself so add another $50-100 for labor.
It works properly otherwise; there are no dead zones for touch.
Sorry for the crappy photo, the only way I could find to take it was to use the low quality front facing camera on my laptop.
dude why no custom rom
custom rom is the reason I spent so much time trying to get a pixel.
but I am giving up on this one. next device is going to run lineage so I can have a wider variety to try to find one that works. maybe I'll try a motorola.
i don't think it's hard to install calyxos
