Google Pixel 6a: Pixel 6a - Screen separated from bezel during repair

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 20:13:11 -0700

I am in the process of replacing the battery in my Google Pixel 6a. When opening the device, the screen has (mostly, it's still attached at the bottom) separated from the plastic bezel (see picture). The screen still works perfectly fine, but I don't know where to find an appropriate adhesive to reattach the screen to the bezel. I'd rather not have to spend the money on a new screen.

Context:
The repair guide seems to assume that they won't come apart. It specifically says to not pry between the screen and the bezel, which I did not do. It came apart on its own. (As the user of the phone being repaired, I could tell that the adhesive was on the way out before I started the repair.) It did not come apart due to a swelling battery, the battery I removed from the phone shows no signs of swelling. (The reason I replaced it is due to poor battery life and a battery health warning in settings.) I bought this phone 2nd hand, so I don't really know the history of it and what might have caused this adhesive to fail.

The main thing I'm asking for is advice on what kind of adhesive to buy (or even pre-cut adhesive if possible) to re-attach the screen to the bezel. (I am not asking about the adhesive to attach the bezel to the frame, commonly called the "display adhesive" and included in the repair kit)

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Anyone experience low battery health w/ new battery?

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 19:33:19 -0700

I've received 1 battery I bought then a replacement and both have shown the same problem in that they are showing up after several full discharges and recharges as having a battery health range of between 83 to 85 percent on supposed new batteries. Now I'm not ruling out that this isn't user error but I'm pretty fluent in smart phone and or tech repairs and I've done just about everything under the sun to recalibrate and erase any past health data but I still keep getting very consistent battery health results in the 80 to 85 percent range. What makes this incredibly frustrating is that the OEM battery was at 83percent if I remember correctly and lasted just about as long as these new ones do despite the OEM battery being almost 8 years old. I use accubattery to measure capacity and have deleted app data and did the recalibration in the appus the several deep charge cycles and still no difference in readings or screen on times vs the old battery. I just really want a good functioning battery any help with this would be appreciated. I really hope it is just some sort of fluke with the app I'm using to measure but idk cause the phone lasts almost the same amount of time even so I'm really confused by this situation. Tired of breaking back glasses too luckily I recently found 3 OEM replacement back glasses on eBay for the good price of $15 but this is after already having bought 2 at full price so I bought the 3 thinking if I have to open it again or I can always resell them if I dont need em.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: Replaced the battery with an iFixit one and Battey life is worse

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 16:06:39 -0700

Replaced the battery on my S21 Ultra with the ones iFixit are selling on their store which was dated may 2025 (very good date) and I made the replacement in September.

Ever since then the batterylife has been either the same or even worse than before even tho i calibrated it according to the steps on the battery's package.

I have also gotten the warning in the screenshot twice since September and never seen it before that.

What's the issue?
