From what I can tell the fronts are 5mm hex and the rear are pins?
It's been quite hard finding hop,-ups or information on what part numbers I need.
Not worried about if it's Tamiya or not. I can also 3d print if that's possible, using petg or strong filament but there are no stl files anywhere for the db01/durga.
After a few months with the Pixel 9 pro fold things were going great, the software and hardware experience was fantastic. Actually, enjoyed it more than my Samsung S22u. But, then one day things turned a corner and it's been downhill ever since.
First, the inner and outer front facing cameras said hey you know what we don't want to work anymore and that was that. First sign was faceid stopped working, then when you went into the camera app it would crash "something went wrong" when you tried switching to the front facing cameras.
At first, I thought it was the beta I was on and wiped the phone and restored everything, which is a pain in the butt when you are using an authenticator at work. But this didn't resolve it, even going back to Android 16.
Next thing to fail is the speaker for calls etc, no sound. Only the speaker phone works. Fantastic.
Latest is esims, my esim decided to stop working so decided to get another esim from my provider and erase the old esim, but guess what failed. Even erasing or adding.
Contacted wonderful Google, and they have said that I can get a Fold 10 replacement as its covered but here's the kicker I need to be in Australia or the States. I am in New Zealand so s***t out of luck. I am stuck with a boat anchor.
Would I buy again no.
What am I going to do now, I am not sure as I am out of pocket buying this paper weight so I don't have the cash to purchase another phone. So I guess thats that.
Okay so the two front facing cameras have failed on my fold. I am covered under the extended warranty. However I am based in New Zealand and there are no repair options for my beloved pixel here unless I fly to the states and then google have said they can replace my fold 9 with a 10 moonstone apparently.
So none of that is viable for me, and I am not flying to the US anytime soon. So does that mean Google get out of this repair?
I am so disappointed with the lack of support in New Zealand and spending so much money on this phone and only having it a short while. It's been babied too, wrapped in a full armour case.
I am really not sure what to do next, I can't afford another phone at the moment. This was going to be the phone for awhile especially with 7 years support. But how to deal with no front facing and how long before something else will fail.
Any advice would be appreciated. How do other people in new Zealand get support from Google?
Having used it for a few days, it has been pretty good.
However when using it there are some visual issues. There is distortion now and then, when you move your head it gets worse. Mostly it's clear looking but not 100 percent.
Real3d. Works, but the same there is some distortion happening. You can't adjust the screen size or the distance when 3s is on.
Even on the lowest setting. Watching movies or YouTube is okay, but there is still a slight distortion.
