My charging port died and I’m so pissed. 2 year old Google pixel. Never buying pixel again. I looked up how to desolder the charging port and it’s a pain in the ass. It has this like weird shield over it and I have no idea how to desolder this thing. Why can’t it be straight forward
Shouldn’t a Pixel that new support wireless charging? I’m surprised at how many people still rely on plugging their phones in to charge them these days. At the very least, it’s a workaround for a broken port.
It has wireless charging but I have a few on call situations and diabetes that I prefer a plugged in charge just in case I accidently knock the phone off the charger at night.
You sure its dead? My 2 year old pixel was also having issues charging, but I simply used SIM tray tool to poke around the charging port and got A LOT of lint out of it and its as good as new

Android has had wireless charging for like 10 years. I can’t remember the last time I plugged in my phone (for charging)
Why the fuck would they solder the charging part to the main board? That’s just actively malicious.
It’s not just soldered there’s like a shield with anchor pins surrounding it that makes it hard to desolder

I tried that. It didn’t help. I even cleaned it when I had the phone apart with some 99% alcohol. No luck
