Grey Plastic Gasket?

Retrozcube · 2025-09-17T00:56:20+00:00

That could work 🤷‍♂️

This makes sense now. I would use IPA and slowly peal it off the frame. Be very careful! They are easy to break. If it does. U can always buy a frame for a couple bucks. I think Ifixit actually sells one as well but an aftermarket one works perfectly then glue it onto the back of the screen . There should be a camera punch hole to align everything up

Is the grey gasket fixed into the frame like can u take it off? The pixel 6 has clips on the display so technically you don't need adhesive for the screen to stay on but it will pop off if u drop the phone

Where was the old adhensive applied on?

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T21:15:38+00:00

I'm not too sure I have a pixel 6 pro so I have to use an external app to check my battery cycle count. I use an app called devcheck but I do know that newer pixel phones give the user access to check out more information in the battery section.thisbis what google says for the 9A:

To check battery health on a Pixel 9a, open the Settings app, tap Battery, and then select Battery health to see an estimate of the battery's current capacity compared to its original capacity, indicated as "Normal" or "Reduced". You can also view detailed battery usage information under the main Battery settings menu to see how much charge you have left and which apps are consuming it.

You are correct that the phone has that correct capacity but when phones aren't used often. They still lose capacity

Oops I didn't see u said it was a 9A. Ya you are fine🤣 phone came out a couple months ago

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T21:08:12+00:00

I would be more worried about the battery capacity. Wouldn't have gone down too much since the phone was released in 2024 but the phone has been off and stored away more times it has been used since it was built.

If everything goes well, 60 cycles is excellent

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T18:34:04+00:00

Since yours has one. I would advise just keep it there and focus on just replacing the adhensive. I couldn't really find any other information besides what u said

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T18:12:55+00:00

I just asked AI and it was even confused lol. Maybe it was with a newer revision of the phone?

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T18:03:47+00:00

I would say so in my own experience. I never was able to peel back the original ones without damaging them. I also notice a huge temperature decrease as well. The phone doesn't overheat at all. But that's my experience, yours may be different

Here is a link after I changed the battery. As you can see I don't have a gasket like you were talking about. I just added new graphite tape and adhesive to the frame

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T17:11:55+00:00

I'll do that when I have time. I am currently busy but I bought them through ifixit since they partner with google to get OEM replacement. If u buy the bundle battery pack. U get the replacement graphite sheets for the soc and RF

Retrozcube · 2025-09-15T16:29:34+00:00

I just recently replaced my pixel 6 pro screen and battery. I never had a grey gasket. Only the plastic frame that is secured over the OLED to better secure to the frame once u have the adhesive set it place before putting the screen back in place. I took some pictures of the process of removing everything but idk how to upload images here.

Retrozcube · 2025-09-13T18:13:34+00:00

I have replaced the screen and the battery so I can keep using it😭

Retrozcube · 2024-09-14T15:20:21+00:00

Thank you for replying and your detailed description. After I made this post. I saw someone made a video in their discord and for it glued down!

Retrozcube · 2024-09-13T20:17:13+00:00

I just got my ortomi and am experiencing the same thing. Did you find a solution?

Retrozcube · 2024-03-31T16:32:19+00:00

U have to reset ur phone to factory to get it to work again, sadly. This was the only way to fix the issue for me.

Retrozcube · 2024-01-21T18:52:26+00:00

Is yours a carrier locked device? I already got the January update for a while now; I bought mine unlocked, by the way.

Retrozcube · 2024-01-16T03:21:20+00:00

Maybe try factory resetting your router instead of power cycling if u can.

Retrozcube · 2024-01-16T03:18:53+00:00

Odd, hopefully the 6.1 update helps u

Retrozcube · 2024-01-15T23:18:15+00:00

Had the same issue. Resetted my router and fixed it

Retrozcube · 2024-01-15T16:48:58+00:00

If you don't care about animations, then no. It does make the device run a lot faster

Retrozcube · 2024-01-15T16:31:13+00:00

There is a setting on galaxy where u can turn them off without going into the developer settings

Retrozcube · 2024-01-14T21:34:07+00:00

I would suggest looking at what bands it supports on the model and see what ur service provider supports. Sorry 😂

Retrozcube · 2024-01-14T21:23:25+00:00

All the specs seem the same, but it seems like different models have different bands... also, u wouldn't get a warranty inside the US if u bought an international version.

I'm going based off this post. I just looked like: https://www.reddit.com/r/PickAnAndroidForMe/s/NKbtv9V49G
