Hi
I just brought my pixel 8 to a corp auth google vendor. My phone qualified for the ext warranty on the display issue.
Seeing that I didn’t have stock android on, this may have caused an issue.
Issue: after deleting my finger prints after new display (I did so because I put a new screen protector on (you should redo them) it tells me I can’t even add them and I need to go to repair shop.
Other details: repair shop advised I go to this https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/. This requires you to connect on a pc, use chrome (I never ever use that), and connect the phone to pixel.
So 3 questions:
1) Assuming the display cable was connected properly and is not the issue (which I dtk) is there some other calibration tool I can use to determine if the issue is behind the display?
2) if it’s not that, I really don’t want to have google access and install anything on it, especially when there’s no transparency about what it does to the phone.
3) repair guy said google might need to re-serialize the sensor to the phone. Which I take as meaning, they want to authenticate/record my phone info. Which again, I have nothing to hide, but this is the reason I use graphene. Am I being a baby or misunderstanding what they mean here?
Anyway im new to graphene, love what you guys do (told the guys at the store to check it out), I just want my finger print to work.
PS - whatever they did at corp vendor store, several things were different on my phone post new display. I don’t understand why their software would do this, but my display timer was set to 5 secs timeout, that’s new. When typing in your pin the screen layout ipand screen that comes up is completely new. I don’t understand why they would have to change values or touch any settings simply with a new auth google part, but they did.
I wonder if I should just bite the bullet backup and reinstall graphene because whatever software they’re using may infect a phone. Is this irrational?
