If you own a Pixel 6 and need to repair the screen, you should know in advance that the fingerprint sensor might stop working after the screen is replaced. It\u2019s unclear how widespread the issue is, but from the looks of it, it\u2019s a software problem that Google hasn\u2019t gotten around to fixing. And, sadly for the Pixel 6 series, Google has had to fix plenty of problems since launching the phone last October.<\/p>\n
The Pixel 6 is definitely one of the highlights of 2021 when it comes to high-end smartphones. It\u2019s a true Google flagship that retails for as low as $599. It comes with a bold new design, a welcome camera hardware upgrade, and Google\u2019s first custom System-on-Chip (SoC). Also, it\u2019s the first Pixel to feature a fingerprint sensor under the display. That\u2019s actually why the sensor functionality and the screen replacement procedure are connected.<\/p>\n
Sadly, the Pixel 6 phones have been plagued by all sorts of issues that Google has had to address. The fingerprint sensor was unreliable<\/a> at first. Then the phone encountered charging problems<\/a> and random signal loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n Google fixed some of these Pixel 6 issues, but others popped up in their place, like the magic eraser problems<\/a> or the Wi-Fi connectivity<\/a> issues.<\/p>\n But while all of that was happening, some Pixel 6 owners discovered that the fingerprint sensor would stop working after a screen replacement.<\/p>\nPixel 6 screen repairs and the fingerprint sensor<\/h2>\n
