Google Pixel 7 Pro: fingerprint sensor not working after replacing screen

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 08:32:32 -0700

I have just followed the online instructions for replacing my Pixel 7 Pro Screen.

Everything went smoothly and the screen is functioning perfectly.

However, the fingerprint scanner is not. I get an error message saying "Cant use the fingerprint sensor. visit a repair provider or g.co/pixel/fingerprintunlock"

What else do I need to do to get this working?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Replacement screen came with an additional part but how to install?

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 11:50:05 -0700

Hi everyone,

I am preparing to repair my pixel 7 pro.

What is this foil piece and how should I install it?

There are two different sides that probably need to be installed in a specific way.

Why has this nowhere been mentioned?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Forgot to put the plastic braket backin, should I open it again?

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 05:21:37 -0700

Hello,

As it is not stated in the tuto, i didn't check the plastic braket before locking back the screen.

Should I open it again and risking breaking the screen ?

And if I open it I think I have to buy 2 adhesive ? One for the screen to the bracket and one for the bracket to the case ?

Thanks in advance.

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Battery adhesive not budging

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 08:08:50 -0700

I'm trying to get the old battery out of my 7 Pro, but not matter what i do, the battery remains adhered.

I tried using the plastic tab for 20 minutes, reheating and such, but the top bit of adhesive refused to break

I've used a dropper to get Isop. Alcohol in, but that hasn't helped either

Google Pixel 7 Pro: The screen does not turn on after replacing the screen.

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 05:18:14 -0700

I bought the screen replacement kit from ifixit. The original screen was broken and was flickering, had dead pixels too. I turned off the phone befoe beginning the repairs.

Following the instructions on youtube and ifixit website, I replaced the screen without any issues. After I charged the phone, I noticed that that I could feel the phone turn on (haptic feedback/buzz), but there is no display.

Any thoughts on how I might recover this phone?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: FIngerprint sensor not woring after BATTERY replacement

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 15:38:59 -0700

Hello,

I replaced the battery earlier today. After installing it everything was fine including the fingerprint sensor. I left it charging and checked it some time later. The fingerprint sensor was no longer working. I tried adding another fingerprint but it said that there is a problem with the sensor so I tired restarting it. Now there is no fingerprint unlock option in the settings and the circle that lights up when you press the sensor isn't there.

I tried calibrating using https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps but it still doesn't work.

It is good to mention that when reconnecting the screen, the spudger slipped and bent the screen cable. The damage is between the data lines and as I said, everything was fine for a while.

What do I do?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: All of a sudden I have very limited mobile connection

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 15:30:47 -0700

Overnight it seems like my mobile connection went from good to barely usable. Places on my property I used to be able to connect just don't work any more. When I'm out and about I often can't make a call. I see that there is a replacement antenna. Is there any way to diagnose this problem before ripping it apart and hoping that replacing the antenna will work?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Fingerprint reader not working on new screen, how to troubleshoot?

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 15:21:21 -0700

I recently changed the screen of my Pixel 7 Pro, the display and the touch feature both work well; the fingerprint does not.

When I try to setup the Fingerprint Unlock android feature, I immediately get the following error on the Touch and hold the fingerprint sensor screen:

Fingerprint setup timed out
Fingerprint enrollment didn't work. Try again or use a different finger.

Things I tried but didn't fix the issue:

Ran the official repair app on: https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carri... (after successfully pairing with my phone, the app displays an error stating that the software on my phone is newer than that of the tool and is unable to scan it).
Factory reset.
Re-opened the phone and double-checked the screen-to-frame connector.
Doubled-checked the sensor-to-screen connector (came installed but I disconnected and connected it back).
Downloaded and installed the Android USB driver for windows on my PC https://developer.android.com/studio/run...
Successfully ran the Update and Software Repair Tool on https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps

None worked, however after doing point 6, the error message takes more time to appear.

Before the new screen I remember my screen would turn very bright white on and around the fingerprint sensor, now it doesn't.

I have the fingerprint sensor from my old screen ready to install on the new screen but before risking damaging the new screen, I thought I asked here:

Is there any other way to troubleshoot the fingerprint reader via software to be sure it's not working?

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Screen replacement touch not working

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 23:17:18 -0700

Hello, I recently had my power button break and start spamming input on my Pixel 7 Pro. During the replacement, I cracked my screen. Unfortunate, but I ordered the OEM screen replacement and followed the install instructions carefully.

Unfortunately, I have display, but have no touch control on the screen. It also appears to be spamming input near the top of the screen.

I have tried carefully removing and reseating the cable and made sure to not touch the screen as it booted. Is this a defective part or are there other potential solutions? I have not seated it with the adhesive since the guide said it should work before reinstalling the screen. Any help would be appreciated, or if I need to try and get it replaced if it's just defective. Thanks

Google Pixel 7 Pro: Software issues after display replacement...

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 21:07:36 -0700

I'm experiencing several software problems since I replaced my Pixel 7 Pro display. Raise to wake no longer works, but also neither does tap to wake. Additionally, When I make a call, the screen immediately goes dark and I have to wake the screen again with the power button, because tap to wake doesn't work there either. It's also now difficult to dismiss notifications from the lock screen. They just bounce back into place after swiping. And maybe a few other problems. Any ideas about what could be wrong? I don't want to attempt a software reset, really. I don't want to lose my data.

Thanks.
