Replacing motherboard to fix microphone issue - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I got the microphone issue since 2 weeks ago.
I tried installing a lot of custom ROMs, P beta, and some different 8.1 official builds but the issue comes back after a few hours.
I live in South America, the phone isn't sold officially here, so I need to fix by myself. Do you guys know if I order and replace the motherboard, the issue will be fixed?
Thx

Depends on when the motherboard is produced. If it's from 2017 and onwards then you're good to go. If it's from 2016 then the problem will occur again after awhile. So be careful when buying motherboards as people are probably just selling those from broken Google Pixels.

You don't have to replace the motherboard to fix the mic issue. I recently had my mic repaired. You have to replace the USB control board. The part isn't very expensive.

Part of Z3 case broken off, anyway to fix it?

Hey guys,
my Z3 fell to the ground and one piece broke off and I don't have it anymore (see attachment). It is the lower right part. Is there anyway that I can fix it? I do not want to replace the whole display and stuff. Nothing is affected by this.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. But seems like they are not available in the EU. Couldn't find any reseller in Germany.

Status of the Pixel XL Battery Shutdown Bug

I was looking to buy this phone but I note its having some major issues: http://www.androidheadlines.com/201...ers-reporting-premature-battery-shutdown.html
Anyone know just how widespread the issues are? Is it too risky to buy?
I have had the VZW Pixel 128GB from the day of release, installed all the updates as they were released. I have experienced no issues whatsoever in all the time I have had it. I have unlocked, rooted, unrooted, installed 2 different custom kernels and stock. Through all this I have had 0 issues with the phone. I love it.

It is not a major Pixel issue. It is a minor Android 7 issue. It is happening at low levels to a few phones. I don't even recall seeing anyone in these pixel forums about it.
I have this issue, on the regular (non-XL) Pixel. I first noticed it between Christmas and NYE, the device shut down at around 20% battery. It's now happening almost every time the battery drops below 25%, albeit at slightly different capacities each time (between 18-25%). This morning I used the "chat" option to discuss with Support, without noticing the new security patch released this morning. So now I'm running my battery down and waiting to recreate the issue. Support played dumb and said they hadn't heard of the issue.

Did the security patch help? I had the same issue on my 5" Pixel (around 10% though) and did a factory reset (with only the most necessary apps installed), since then the problem is gone. BUT i also received the January security patch on the same day, so i don't really know what fixed it.
What i also recognized on my screenshots and my others that were posted on this matter, is the wrong Awake/"Aktiv" indicator before the shutdown happened (see the attached screenshot). IMO, this may point to a software issue, not an actual faulty battery or cool temperatures.
Hello
I have the same issue
I am use XL device . this issue happen to me 3 times . first time was before a month when the battery come to 50% the phone shut down
second time was before tow days and the same issue happened before 3 hours :crying::crying:

Nothing new that i know of, i didn't run into this problem since the factory reset. Maybe, in some cases, it's a hardware issue after all? Does your awake-log look faulty as well?

Yes, exactly the same as you described, even with the false activity line as shown on your picture. Does this work now too after your factory reset?

Yes, it happened after new years, when the device was just about a week old and did not occur since then. This is from yesterday (regular Pixel), while i never crack the 5h mark with mixed usage: https://goo.gl/photos/Yui6D3sdSK8gyFax9
These are from when the first or second early shutdown occured: http://imgur.com/a/4g0V5
I find it a bit weird that this is not a bigger topic on XDA, there are a "lot" of posts in the issue tracker, the pixel user community and even a some on reddit from time to time.

Okay, I'm not 100 % sure but I think this happened first time after the February update. Looks like I should do a factory reset. Let's see if this works for me as well.
Will report, thanks.

Well that's good maybe Sony will release an update for XZP in the future. Why you said "abandoned"? It seems like you are overreacting a little bit...
Enviado desde mi G8141 mediante Tapatalk
Being an owner of the XZ Premium I will say that Sony's communication is basically non-existent when it comes to fixing issues. But I also notice that it appears that they are silently, slowly, fixing issues within their monthly security updates. Is this their way of not having to admit any problems??? Maybe! But I think they are, or for sure will, fix as much as they can on the Premium while also working on getting Oreo installed on this phone. Of course I could be completely wrong, but after participating on the Sony forum as well as here, it seems like more and more the issues are being stealthily fixed .
yes!!!

Drama Queen ?
Sorry, the source has been post again ,and confirmed that XZ1 still keep the serious distortion as XZP.
He said he did not know which distortion we are talking about. For sure to change other brand now. Will never buy any sony mobile product again. The final post here.

just a piece of advise, if your phone is doing good, then there is no point to upgrade. my upgrades killed the SOT, and i have to factory reset it.
just bear in mind there is no way u can downgrade or anything
I have not received any updates since v1.17.11.
+1...no new update
Same, no updates since v1.17.11
Received the update but did not apply it to my phone.

Yes I’m not gone upgrade to future version until Android P arrived(wherever take that).
Vivo lately fix something and broken something else with September software update.
I’ve made the last one because I had trouble with push notifications from various app that from time to time didn’t work normal and was really annoying.
I’m talking for previous version 1.18.4 that got earlier September.
With all previous version didn’t had any kind that issue.
Fortunately current newer version seems until now resolved that issue had with 1.18.4.
I’m gone monitoring it.

upgrade arrived this morning
If anyone has already installed the update please comment here if you had any issues after it (push notifications, battery drain,....)
I'm not really trusting this updates anymore
Global version any news?

Hello
I started the update and then I've read your warnings:silly::silly:
Reboot correct for now
I noticed a very fast gps localization as I launched Google Maps probably faster than before. I had some disconnection during my bike sessions. I'll tell you later if it has improved
Tell me if you want me to test something in particular
This update is supposed to bring better network speed and call quality and bluetooth...
I have not tried any of those really I cant comment on those, but maybe I imagine things but it feels that the last update was faster then the new one... maybe.. it will feel as fast again after I let it run for a while.. and I have put all apps in memory etc...
Snapchat did lagg litte bit.. first time... it did not with the last rom..so.. I dont know.. maybe it will be back to same speed tomorrow.
so take this with a grain of salt but I would like to try the two roms side by side and compare app opening times etc.
New update 1.19.5(Chinese version)
So far 2 days now everything good.
Not having any complaint.
Battery life solid as before,push notifications working normal so far.

2nd day everything runs good as suspected it takes some time to fill up Dalvik chache for the system.
Only lag I see is in snapchat..but it could be that snapchat is just a crap software... I cant remember if it did lag before I think not..
Battery life feels better now, maybe it is because I run Rootless Pixel launcher now, but it feels better then before also.
I see no reason to not install this update.
thanks.. in download now...
Now I get the new version and everything works fine.

Best to keep it as it is.
If every update comes with its own thread then the forums just going to be spammed every month.
One thread to contain all software updates and discussion would be better
The number have different scheme than last month's
Hoping this update contains a lot more fixes/improvements!
Hope so..
Slow starting camera....
Hope for the fix of 4k video recording stabilization. This doesn't exists at all for now...I am expecting many other bugs and enhancements.

Irrelevant to this thread
Anyone else got the update? So far nothing for CE1.
However, those are only copy paste of Google's security patch, no changelog because in fact there are no other changes, no fixes for the issues...
In this matter X1 is device abandoned by sony, call reception is weak, my calls sre hanging so the person I am talking to cannot hear me. Check dBms, signal reception is so poor...
My last device from sony. Company abandoned the users, so users abandon the company.
The only thing we can hear of is more and more apps to be decommisioned, Xperia Longue until end of month, what's next?
I hate stock Android.

What's next? Probably more of their apps that hardly any one uses.
Phones only been out a couple months so give it time for more meaningful updates. If you have issues with signal and call hanging then take this up with Sony and get a new device

How is the X1 "abandoned" while they have just released an update? If your call reception is weak, do some troubleshooting first.
Sell/return your X1 and get a new phone. No need to announce your departure.

Here in Spain Xperia 1 have score more hight in down speed and signal.
it must be your carrier's problem
Enviado desde mi J9110 mediante Tapatalk
Complete & utter nonsense, the Xperia 1 is "abandoned" because we got the August patch and that's it?... At least we're actually getting the security patches on time, if you've owned a Xperia device before you know how Sony do things, instead of rolling out half-assed fixes that don't hold up or become more buggy (Samsung) they take time to fully resolve the issues then roll out the updates
Sony put so much emphasis on the camera's of the Xperia 1 to show they're listening to consumers, they made it clear to us that the Alpha team is working closely, although this is irrelevant to the topic, it's hard to see such ignorance and say nothing..
I'll also like to add my signal is fine in the UK on EE :good:
If abandoned, why Xperia 1 will have Android Q in October November and others in 2020
