major problem - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a Google pixel which i had for Xmas, And been working flawless since day 1. Problem now is that every time i open the camera app i get this error. Neither cameras work from the main camera app. WhatsApp cameras work but only front camera, When trying to switch between them in WhatsApp the camera freezes up. Has anybody else encountered this problem ?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, followed those instructions and nothing.

Try reaching out to Support (from within the phone)? They should offer some help.
Or, see if there's any service test menu available for the pixel? (Google search not helpful, I'm afraid).

Spoke to support they said they was going to send out replacement details in post etc, Followed to tell them my screen had a slight crack in ( Just glass ) which apparently voids all warranty ?

Oh fudge... And I suppose there's no insurance to fall back on.
This is annoying.
No luck with the service test codes?

Tried factory reset?
Don't tell them it these things (slightly cracked screen).

Yeah tried everything still can't get it to work,
Is there any sensors on the front of the screen that could be affecting the cameras function at all? I can replace the screen but it's no good if my camera won't work.

Have you asked google if they will honor the warranty if you have the screen replaced? They were willing to do that for me when I came across my microphone issue, so that may be an option for you.

Maybe I can ask them,But doesn't it voids warranty if the screen is replaced by my self?

Yes likely it would, paying to replace it and have a fully working phone would be better than replacing your screen yourself and still having issues no?

I was going to say spend fifteen bucks and grab a camera from ebay, would be a cheap and easy possible fix, but I can only find one camera online and they want $90 for it. pfft. My next suggestion would be to take it apart and disconnect/reconnect the camera(s). Last Resort of course, but it sounds like you might be there already. You can nuke a ziplock bag of water to soften the glue tape around the screen. And get a micro torx set from whatever your walmart equivalent is (you will want at least two torx t5 bits) Teardown vids all over youtube.

Thanks for the reply, Can't take my screen out as it would literally fall apart from the top right now. Just don't see how this could effect the rear camera when the front one is inside the screen damage area, And front cam also works on third party apps just not the rear one.
Was going to unlock the bootloader and reflash the ROM but as it's on 7.1.2 it's impossible right now so it's just a matter of replacing the screen then cleaning/ reconnecting the camera

Cracked Screen on my Touch Pro

I dropped my touch pro and cracked the screen in a few places. I think it works normally except for the screen, as it receives calls fine...
A new phone isn't in my budget right now. Does anyone know of a good place (hopefully in DC, MD or VA) that will supply or install a replacement touch screen?
(btw, no recent threads came up when I searched.)
Ebay!
Just looked, $30 including postage for a screen & digitiser if you are able to do it yourself.
How hard is it to replace a screen if it has surface damage? Is there anywhere i could find a walkthrough or help?
Shame man, its a tragedy of what happened to your phone...
Luckily its not too bad, and you may just be able to fix it. You can download the service manual for the phone here: http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-raphaeltouch-pro-service-manual.html
Just a note though, make sure you DO USE tweezers or something to get the speaker wires out of the way before snapping the enclosure back into position... I had to reopen the phone again, after powering it, to rejoin one of the little wires thats like a tenth of a millimeter thick DO NOT IGNORE ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL. Oh, and what works well for the "plastic removal tool" is a cut out piece of plastic ice cream container. AGIAN, do not ignore anything in there... You are voiding the warranty permanently when you do it yourself (which you unfortunately have to).
Anyways, good luck!
I drop my phone also, but the screen didn't actually cracked! but I do have is problems with the screen in other ways! Sometimes I get a black screen when I turn on the phone and sometimes not, but when the screen turns on, it flickers a lot and have lines thru it. What suprises me is that sometimes I get perfect images on the screen (Which makes me think that the screen it's not damaged).
Any suggestion would be apreciated. Thanks!
3 days and still no answer from anyone! I would like someone to throw me ligth on this issue. I'm waiting for this to know exactly what I need to buy, before I start assuming things.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the LCD connector may have come unseated. You could open up the phone and make sure all connectors are firmly seated if you feel confident in your abilities.

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking on that also and wanted to take my chances opening the phone (oh god!).
BTW, I saw the $30 LCD Screen+Digitizer combo on ebay that Beeble referred to, but I'm not sure if it fits on the fuze (my model). What have come to my mind it's to buy also the front camera of the phone (like a thread on the kaiser) to mod the cell, in case I need to buy the screen+digitizer. I've search all threads about this issue but nobody has done it because it was too expensive for the result; I believe with this price it's worth it right now!
solved
Try this steps:

I used Diamod (!) LCD and Touch Pro digitiser. Works perfect.
Much more cheaper
If your screen works fine sometimes, you most likely don't need to replace it. there's probably just a loose connection somewhere. If you really want to replace it though, there's an ebay seller with a really good deal. $20 for the screen and digitizer already glued into a new front body piece: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-FUZE-LC...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3ef8817bf6 That one's for the fuze, but I think the seller has other models too. I'd definitely get the LCD and digitizer together or else you might end up like I did on my first attempt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584050

Thanks for the advise maxh,
I just wanted to let you know that a miracle just happened! my cellphone started to work just fine without even opening the phone! it has more than a week on this situation so I believe that it's exactly what you stated (the LCD conector became unseated or loose). Since it's still working, I have no need to open it! so I'll just wait until it becomes defective again and at that point just open it and tight up the LCD connector!
Anyway, I would love if somebody could make the mod that I was refereing to before (changing the screen of the fuze by the touch pro one) and see if it's possible to attach the front camera on the fuze.
Once again, thanks everybody for your opinions.
I got my new display+ digitizer on Ebay (65$) and replaced it, using the russian link mentioned above ( follow the exact procedure) , it took me 2 hours to do it, and after lot of patience it worked! My problem was the digitizer never worked fine, and after replaced it it worked like never before. If You are not familiar with repairs, it will be a mistake and waste of money to buy a display without digitizer. NOW, I have a small problem, my display has a NEW color, it's like color temp is WARM for this display, and COLD for my old display, AND COLOR level is lower, and the result is display without vivid colors, black like gray. Is there any way to change the DISPLAY color settings?

Crack my screen please help!!!

I bought a Sensation and the other day my screen cracked when I dropped it, so i bought a screen digitizer replacement but it did not come with instructions =[
I'm freaking out because I have no idea how to do this and I spent 45 dollars to replace it! Can someone please help!? PLEASE! =[

That shows me the connector strap....but all is not lost.
I opened mine.
There's two small screws up top on either corner.
Two just below the battery pocket on either side and two on the bottom corners.
It looks like there may be a hidden one in the battery pocket,next to the contact terminals,under a round dot sticker.
They look like they may be #4 Torx head .. just a guess.
Get those out [remember their positions] and it should be fairly easy.

take it back to the shop and get it fixed?
If you lived in the Oklahoma City area I'd say bring it in to my shop & I'd get you all fixed up(I'm a phone/computer/game console repair tech) but I dunno what area you're in, so... Replacing screens is generally pretty easy but I REALLY recommend you take it to a phone shop if you don't know how to do it. These phones are extremely delicate & you could break it VERY easily with one wrong move. But if you insist on doing it yourself, this should hopefully help you out some with getting it apart- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG7gt1EnN3w It's kind of fast & ****ty, but it's the only teardown vid I could find.
FYI- digitizers are stuck on with special double-stick adhesive that holds it in place over the LCD, so make sure the one you bought came with a new piece of adhesive because you can't reuse the old one(unless you're VERY careful) & the screen won't stay on w/o it. You'll wanna use a heat gun on a low setting or a hot hairdryer to get the old digitizer off too. And of course, be mindful of dust.
I just did exactly this repair and took some footage while doing it. Excuse the crappy voiceover.
On youtube.com go to watch?v=T5bWl73O9ss Or just search for HTC Sensation Screen Repair
Apparently my old account was disabled so I had to sign up again. Now I can't post a single URL. Hope someone else can make that linkable.

if you've never done that before, I suggest (as I do to all my customers to save pain and money) find someone with knowhow, and kindly ask to look over their shoulder. this has worked for me on many many occasions. I know know how to windshield chip repair for one (although completely unrelated)

[Q] Screen Issue

Hey All, Trying to help a coworker of mine. She dropped her phone the other day, and her screen now looks like this.
(PIC is in attachment)
Would something like this be the result of a damaged screen, or a contact that came loose in the phone. And would you even bother fixing this?
Thanks!
If the Device is Un-Rooted, and she has T.E.P. I would suggest taking it in to Sprint. It's the easiest way. That does look like a Hardware issue. It could be any of several things. I suppose you've already tried a Reboot ? If that didn't resolve it, and it's Un-Rooted take it into Sprint.
Sadly, no TEP.
Yeah, it's been rebooted many times. I took it apart even, to make sure all the connections looked good. Still got this issue.
You could try and find a cheap screen for it (amazon) and replace it

UGH . No T.E.P is not what you wanna hear. Unless your willing to take it all the way apart and replace the Digitizer assembly. The reason I say assembly, and not just the Screen is because of the way the sceen appears to be acting. It will be a safer bet to replace it as an assembly instead of just the LCD Screen. It will also be slightly easier. It is not an entirely difficult job. You just have to be very, very careful, and take your time. Wear latex Rubber Gloves, and work in as clean an environment as you can get. I like to work late at night when no one is awake. If you do decide to do it there are Videos I can link you to, or you can Google them. Your other option is to take it to a Cell Phone repair shop. Usually for a reputable place your looking at between $60 - $100 for a LCD / Digitizer replacement.

Cracked Screen Need Replacement

I bought a used Honor 8 that has a cracked front screen. It's tolerable but I've decided to get it fixed. The screen that is on now was a replacement screen. The lady told me that it cracked not too long after she got it replaced and that it happened without her dropping it or anything like that. She thinks that the person who replaced it, didn't know what they were doing. As of now, the phone works great but the screen isn't as bright as the original and seems to have burn in. I have thought about replacing it myself and wanted to ask, has anyone replaced their screen themselves? How'd it go? Would you recommend it? And if you got it replaced somewhere, what was the cost? How did it look like afterwards? I appreciate any and all answers!

Hello!
My screen is broken too. After a long search i've decided to order from Witrigs. There is only the custom screen available which is not as good as the oem one., but these are the best i could find from a reliable source. There is a video on the screens page which shows you how to install the new one. It will need some cheap equipment too to open the phone, like plastic-opening-card and case-opening-tool(the guitar one), yeah and don't forget the the LCD frame sticker. (and the suction cup, if you don't have any at home)
I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive, hoping that the screen's quality is acceptable compared to the original one. Also ordered a custom back panel because my got scratchy.
I'll write my experience about the screen and the repair when the parts arrive and assembled the phone.
Sry i wasn't able to post links because this is my first post here, but its easy to find them. For guide go for the video.
It's costed about 35$ with shipping and the back panel.

Get a replacement display assembly including the frame. You'll have to re-assemble everything on the new frame including the air triggers. The cost difference for a display replacement with/without a new frame is minimal. Not guaranteed to fix the trigger but there is a fair chance it will.

Great thank you for your response. My phone is still under warranty and i think they would have at least tried fixing it until i broke the glass. Do you know of a reputable place to but original screens. I found a few online ranging from 200 to 300 dollars, and i still dont know if any of them are original

Look it up on Ali Express, usally best prices there. $300 sounds overpriced to me, I bought one for ROG 3 a while back for around $140 including frame.
