    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the back cover for a minute.

    • A hair dryer, heat gun, or hot plate may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the phone—the display and internal battery are both susceptible to heat damage.

    • While you wait, note the following areas on the back cover:

    • Strong adhesive—there are large patches of adhesive near the bottom of the phone.

    • Fingerprint sensor cable—be careful not to slice through the cable as you pry

    • Apply a suction cup to the heated edge of the back cover, as close to the edge as possible.

    • Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap.

    • Depending on the age of your phone, this may be difficult. If you are having trouble, apply heat to the edge and try again.

    • Be careful as you slice along the left edge of the phone. If your pick feels like it's stuck near the top, you may have snagged the fingerprint sensor. Retract the pick out of the seam slightly and try again.

    • Be sure to cut through the thick portions of adhesive near the bottom and right edge of the phone.

    • Swing the right edge of the back cover upwards and rest the flipped panel along the left side of the phone.

    • Be sure to maintain slack on the fingerprint sensor cable and prevent it from being pinched.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your phone and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your phone back down completely before you continue working.

Conclusie

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Hey. After installing ney battery and new usb port my Pixel 3 has problems with microphones. Its only works with phoning via speakers. can you help me ?

kevin reiter - Antwoord

Hi Kevin,

Assuming that you did not remove the motherboard (which houses a mic), it sounds like something may be off with the daughterboard, which surrounds the USB port and houses the other microphone. I would suggest carefully disconnecting and re-seating the daughterboard connectors, and making sure that the microphone is aligned to the port.

Thanks for these great instructions.

I followed them, and managed to replace my old Pixel 3 XL battery without any problems.

What about re attaching the charging coil? The adhesive is now shot on the coil. What should you do to adhere the coil to the new battery?
