UPDATE:

I just replaced the camera and it will not work. I get an error message, and asks to force close or continue anyway. If you continue, it just crashes. As to the gold foil, I was able to peel it off another broken camera and re-use it. Why is Ifixit selling these parts if you CANNOT use them unless you are Assurion or UbreakIfix(the only authorized centers) who have their own supply of official parts straight from Google????? This is very deceptive and disingenuous from Ifixit.

Yet another connundrum... Multiple outlets online say a new camera WILL NOT work without calibration software.

Can someone who has done a replacement confirm if this is true or not? I don't want to buy an expensive new camera for it to not work.

Thanks!!! I can use a book with a weight on it, of an amount calculated to exert 80psi on the screen. By eyeballing it at a coffee shop, looks like 20lbs. Do you think that I should calculate this ONLY around the perimeter, or do you apply pressure evenly on the whole screen?

What do you think about using t8000 or b7000 glue? I am concerned that the water resistance will not be very good with this OEM glue. I have it and it doesn't look very thick. You know how the screen sort of snaps into place without adhesive? Well mine does not snap in one corner and lifts up about a 32nd of an inch. I worry the adhesive sticker will not work on this spot.

Also, new cameras do not come with the copper foil. What is done in this instance?

what happens if the foil is damaged, torn, or does not stick?

so do you need this film?? if it is damaged, can you use some sort of tape, or does it have to be this graphite film?

will the phone have the same water resistance rating after this? Assume proper adhesive placement? ALso, what about b7000 glue? Any comment on using that?

I just read that the camera has to be "paired" with the motherboard using software. It may work after a replacement and not calibrating, but will not render as-good of pictures. This came from a leaked repair manual from google. What do you say of this? Also, do you need to re-use the graphite and copper tape? https://repair.wiki/w/Google_Pixel_6_Pro...

do you need to re-apply that graphite film? What about the copper tape?
