You were in my recommended thanks to most of the phone review/repair channels KZbin has recommended to me as of late. I absolutely love being able to learn from videos like this and actually attempt these things myself. Thanks to youtube and content creators like you and similar to you ive been able to: Repair some of my old phones, replace the alternator of my car, learn how to take decent pictures of the astros, bake a cheescake, etc etc. Thank YOU and thank everyone that takes the time to show and teach us, especially during these times.

i mean they're are probably some paints he can find at hobby shops but its probably better just to put it in a case

[@archonjk1196]

I did the same thing with my Pixel 4 XL. I dropped it the first day I had it onto a concrete floor and the one side was scuffed, and the screen PROTECTOR cracked (I'm really glad I did buy a screen protector, as I didn't have a case for the first few days of having the phone).

Usually with android phones you can just hold the power button for a long time and it'll turn off. Nice vid as usual

[@raihanislam912]

Or power off and vol down

[@Neverbloom]

Power and Volume keys to go into the boot menu, then just power it off without needing the display. I guess it's a first time for him since he's clearly an Appleman.

True

You can factory reset but it is lock to your google account. All the new android phone have this feature. There are some methods to unlcok the google acoount but they are very tricky to use!

[@MirceaD28]

Hey Hugh. Here is a tip for that i mentioned before. In order to avoid shards of glass from coming out stick some transparent duct tape over the screen. When you will try to lift the touchscreen and start to bend, no shards will fly all over the place or worse in your eye (been there).

[@andrewlapadat8521]

Hugh if you keep this I highly recommend trying it! I owned a pixel 2 XL over the summer when my iPhone X was stolen and it was great!

[@no_one4236]

Hey Hugh it's really nice of you to start working on more Android phones.

Hey Jeffery I'm learning from your videos Cuz soon I Will work In a mobile shop to repair phones thank you, you've teached me alot

[@shanez1215]

I believe the pixels have a simulated battery pull button combo that lets you turn them off if the screen is destroyed or if their frozen in boot. You hold power and one of the volume keys (not sure which one) for like 30 seconds. I've used it on my Pixel 3 when it froze in boot after an update.

[@cheesythegamer9771]

Always love it when the new videos come out!

[@JpZMerida]

Big fan of you Hugh! I love your videos and it's so Informative and being honest to the technology and the viewers. I just hope is there a store where can i buy one of your fixed phones/tablets or laptop. I'd sure want one as a gift to myself when i graduate

I replaced a Pixel 1st Gen XL screen recently. Was even easier than an iphone, other than the annoying adhesive. I couldnt get to battery, and the screen was dead, so i did it while it was on. Worked fine.

[@tristanburchett]

When replacing a pixel 2xl screen, be very careful when disconnecting it. There are two very very small transistors that are very easy to knock off, and you won't even notice until you turn on the phone and try to play music or a video, use an alarm, or talk on the phone. Not having the transistors makes it impossible to do any of these things.

[@chumhau6993]

here you are again man love your channel keep it going ;)

[@BeeBapBelooBap]

Interesting video as I have a damaged pixel 2xl myself (fall into the sea) ! The screen is showing moving white bars and halos on the left half of the display, while the touch response is still working... Anyway, the cost for a pixel 2 xl display is around 200$ which just isn't worth it if you're not a expert for the replacement (higher chance of failing...). I ended up buying a reconditioned pixel 2 xl and still have my damaged one :)

[@caslurjmmm]

[@damianosavraammisaelidis9727]

But still. I don't think that it would get you out of budget to go for a full repair of the frame as well. After all you said not to go cheap on the adhesive. But either ways. I totally love your videos and it's my pleasure to seat down and relax and enjoy your restoration projects after work. Keep it up mate. Cheers.

[@JackOLanternBob]

Would it be a good idea to replace the battery just in case it was very worn out?

[@TonysPhoneCollection1]

I love my pixel 2xl :) 90 bucks isn't not to bad of price. I picked mine up for 60 with a cracked glass but fully working

[@mingenius5505]

The scratches won't be visible on the side of the screen where the marker is if you have a case on it, so people will think it is new even though it has a few scratches on the side.

[@Garrettdx1988]

That permanent marker trick doesn’t work. I’ve given up using it on my note 8

[@TomZ23]

You are correct about the permanent markers. A better option is a paint pen as it will hold up much better and also give you better color coverage.

[@ameliabuns4058]

it'd be a good time to replace the battery too! some people use liquid nitrogen to replace the glass only but that sounds hard and dangerous and works only on working displays with broken glass only

[@harishbhushan1711]

It's 5 am in kolkata ..... Starting day with some repair .... 💪😎 ..... Awesome video brother ..... 💪💪

[@gdob9646]

A word to the wise: the screen is a beast to remove, fair enough if it's broken, but I'd say there was limited prospect of you removing a "good" one without killing it! - where I live, OLED screens are expensive - typically over $100usd so don't attempt a battery replacement lightly! ALSO don't try to test with the shield/heatsink unscrewed, it requires the screws to make good contact between the volume/ power buttons and the main board. Given that this model is now four or five years old, I wouldn't dream of opening one up without replacing the battery (complete;y false economy not to) - I also redid the switches and power connector as I wasn't going back in again any time soon! When I reassembled my pixel 2XL the digitiser didn't work and I was unable to power down properly so I had to disconnec the battery (again) -As I haven't put the glue back in, I may do my own version for a "deep stripdown" if anyone interested

[@uxuxpl]

Would you try to repair completly destroyed phone? I'd love to see it on your channel

[@andrewcrane777]

Final update to Android 11 as I watch this - sure it's been mentioned before. Best phone I've ever (and still do) have!

[@yourstatementisrightunlike7366]

0:39 I got a screen and housing for my Pixel 2 XL from iFixit, the screen had one of the connector pins broken and the housing was slightly bent, I returned the screen and housing and they claimed to have sent me a refund but I never received anything, this was like a year ago when the parts were still quite expensive so I lost almost $300 from that website, never buying from there again.

The permanent marker is an option i used on my LG 😂

That mid frame behind the lcd looks absolutely HTC, then you lift it and see "LG" on the battery. God who made this phone? :))

[@Commander_ZiN]

Wow that looked rather easy for a phone these days. I have one of these still, it's much better on Android 10, there was some battery drain issue bugs early on but it's been perfect since 10. I wish it had a headphone jack though. I might have to replace it's battery in a year or so but it's holding up well. No other phones except the ROG II catch my fancy and I love the Pixel camera too much.

[@surajshammey5282]

Is it an OLED or LCD? Which you installed. And how's the quality compared to the original? Please answer.

[@thomastartu9597]

I just looked at the iFixit tutorial and found something out about this phone: the battery does not need to be disconnected in order to replace a damaged display. I think this phone was designed in a way that makes this possible.

[@brandonnel6905]

You should try doing a screen replacement on a Xperia XZ2 or something. The adhesive is super easy to remove and only has one display cable to unclip. Takes like 5 minutes for a whole display replacement lol.

Wait, so the replacement display is an LCD? Why would you replace an OLED part with and LCD part?? But then you later say it's an OLED when finishing the install? And it appears to be an OLED (deep blacks, always on display being used) so did iFixit just lazily label the new part? 🤔 Also, love your channel - keep up the great work!
