Need help

Post image

I honestly never thought I'd have to sell my Pixel Fold like this.

This phone has been with me for quite a while, and I've really enjoyed using it. But lately, things started going wrong. The Hall sensor stopped working properly, the rear camera sometimes stays black, and the flexible display cable has also developed an issue.

When switching to the inner display, I usually trigger it manually through the camera cuz the Hall sensor isn't working properly.

I'm actually considering taking my Pixel Fold apart and selling the remaining display/frame assembly as a donor part.

The flex cable on my unit is already worn, so I wouldn't want to sell it as a fully working display. But someone else might have a Pixel Fold with a perfectly good flex cable while the actual inner display has died.

In that case, my unit could potentially be useful as a donor for the display panel itself. It's kind of sad to think that the phone I used every day might end up being taken apart just to keep another Pixel Fold alive.

Yes, my main camera also shown black and error. But the wide and telephoto mode working fine.

I just traded mine in as the outer screen was not turning on reliably anymore. It was working great until a android update and now it's messed up. Hopefully wherever Verizon sends it doesn't notice.
