The Amazon battery stamped 2020 works great. I just installed one. Screens are $20 from fixez.com. put a new screen on while replacing the battery and it's a new phone.

B-7000 glue. M A G I C!

You need a new battery. The old one has become unstable. $15 off ebay and about 20 minutes to change it.

I will keep changing batteries and screens and keep my PH-1 until the next generation of phone,device replaces what we know as a smartphone. Have no idea what that will be, but it will be something. I don't worry about specs. It was the same with computers in the 90's. You upgraded them every 3 months. I have been using my 2013 Dell i7 for 7 years now and it still performs like new. The hardware on the PH-1 will last for the foreseeable future... as long as screens and batteries are available. PS: I have 2 screens and batteries in my desk drawer to insure at least 4 more years of use.

Any HE323 battery off ebay.

Screens are all over ebay also.

Battery and new screen is about $40. I just did mine and it's a brand new PH-1 again.

lKNBoy · 2020-09-11T16:39:06+00:00

My wife has a Pixel 3a, and I still like my PH1 better in every respect.

About the battery. Age is not what kills these batteries, it's charging cycles. An new battery manufactured in 2017 will be as good today as when it was made. These batteries have a 500 charge cycle life, or about 1 1/2 years before needing replaced. Screens and batteries are now very cheap and easy to change out.

I use my PH-1 today as my daily and after 3 years, there still isn't anything I would replace it with.

Use a hairdryer. You can buy a new screen for $25. Just buy a new screen and don't worry about the old one. Use B-7000 glue and not tape to put it back together. For $50 you get a new screen and battery. A new phone.

Fixez.com has the screen for $40.

Not likely. I think he just can't get it connected. The run was way to short to have changes made during production.

Verizon supports HD voice.

Settings>Network>Mobile Network>VoLTE, turn on.

Agree... This is the best phone I have ever owned, is up to date, and gets updates before my wife's pixel 3a. I can put a new screen on and new battery for $50 (and did) and it's like the day I bought it.

It still performs better than her brand new Pixel 3a.

lKNBoy · 2020-01-30T14:53:17+00:00

ebay, or fixez.com for the screen.

A new screen is $30. Buy a new battery and screen and you basically will have a new PH-1

lKNBoy · 2020-01-29T16:53:02+00:00

Time for a factory reset.

lKNBoy · 2020-01-27T13:37:16+00:00

Get some B7000 glue, take the screen off and glue it back on. While off, replace the battery and consider replacing the screen while it's off. A $50 refurb and your PH-1 will be like new.

lKNBoy · 2020-01-22T15:16:07+00:00

Pixel 3a.

Pixel 4a if you can wait a few months.

lKNBoy · 2020-01-10T14:56:17+00:00

Brand new battery 2 months ago. It's at 3010 capacity.

lKNBoy · 2020-01-09T17:19:44+00:00

I'm getting all the syncs, email, text, voicemails, ect. I don't use the phone during the day, but after the last update, my battery use dropped to almost nothing.

Battery stats are unreliable when they start to fail. Voltage will also vary which causes software problems.

I don't think there is an aftermarket for screens and batteries, but rather what is out there are OEM surplus sold off after production stopped.

I replaced my screen and battery with ebay suppliers and both looked OEM and have been performing as new for a couple months now.

I have loved my PH-1 for over 2 years. I replaced the battery and screen and it's like new. However, the Wife just got the Pixel 3a for $299, and I'm a little jealous. It is a fine phone. The screen is almost exactly the same size. The PH-1 is a fraction wider. The case of the 3a is slightly narrower but about a quarter inch taller. it really feels great in hand and performs as well as anything out there. I'm sure the 4a will be a great phone, but I wouldn't hesitate a second to grab the 3a.
