I’d like to get the One’s glass solely for that neat iridescent effect it had, but it looks like the ThinQ stuff would fit with just an extra clear spot where the sensors would be on the ThinQ.

The replacement is the IF303-092-1;

LG G7 ThinQ Battery

After installing the battery, everything appeared to be fine. It came up as 60% charge, and I followed the instruction on the box to "Charge your newly installed battery up to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device [...]". Charging went fine, and after waiting the device powered up just fine.

The next instruction reads "Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery." I set up a youtube playlist to play overnight. The phone was shut off in the morning.

However, plugging the charging cable back in only gave the vibration motor buzz and a 'grey' screen, with no indication of it being charged. I left it for several hours, but there was no change. Turning it off (only possible when unplugged) and back on again provides no change. Every once in a while I see what appears to be the beginning of the LG G7 ThinQ's charge indicator circle only for it to go back to a 'grey' screen.

( When I say 'grey' screen - it might well be black, with just the backlight bleed. )

Replacing the iFixit battery with the original battery again, the battery starts charging and the battery charge indicator appears as normal (just takes a very long time to charge).

Swapping it back out for the iFixit battery gets me back to only a 'grey' screen.

Did the instruction to let it drain cause the battery charge to be so low that the device is refusing to charge it?

I'm thinking of starting a replacement / refund procedure, but want to make sure I'm not missing some other step I could take.

( If anyone were to suggest factory reset: though I'd much prefer not to have to perform a factory reset regardless, Vol- + Power also does nothing with the replacement battery in place, whether on charger or not. Have not yet attempted with the original battery in place. )

Everything works well except for the proximity sensor, which always shows NEAR or INIT in the Service Menu - Auto Test. I think when it shows init it’s a contact problem as also the light sensor doesn’t seem to work.

I tried cleaning the screen where the sensor is and removing the protective film, but it always shows NEAR.

Any suggestions? Is the sensor defective? If so, I still have the one from the old phone, but it seems embedded between the screen and frame and wouldn’t want to pry apart the screen from the frame.

Inside “developer options” there is an option that states “select USB configuration” but pressing it nothing happens (in other android smartphones it allows to change between charging, MTP…. )

I tried with a fully updated device, after hard reset without any additional app, after safe mode….

It only charges, I can not transfer files

Can I just re-heat it? Do I need to apply new glue? Is this something a mobile repair shop would be able to do or do they only offer full replacements?

Thanks!

When i woke up the phone was dead. It had drained overnight. I then plugged it in and charged it for several hours and it would not charge or even turn on.

When i try to charge it, nothing happens, nothing shows up on the screen. The red LED doesn't even light up. I tried the power + vol down. it didn't work. wireless charging doesn't work either. Nothing happens when i plug it into my pc.

Should i replace the battery? What should i do?

If I try to take a photo or video with my Phone a notification pops up saying <<the photo app has stopped>> or <<the photo app is not working properly>>. And when I switch to video call my camera image flips over in case it takes by chance. What should I do?
