The Pixel 6 fingerprint calibration tool is not working according to users who needed to replace the screen on their phone.
Is this a legitimate software bug, or did Google make it impossible for the Pixel 6 display to be replaced by phone owners? Remember, calibrating the fingerprint sensor is required after the screen is replaced. So did Google do this on purpose to dissuade its customers to repair their own devices or is the problem with the calibration tool an honest software mistake. Rossman calls it a coin flip.
He also says that it could have started as a software bug but was left to fester making it an intentional act by Google. For example, once the software flaw is brought to Google's attention and the company ignores the problem, it would seem to be intentional at that point.Remember, the battle over Right to Repair isn't just about allowing the device owner to fix his own phone.
Based on their knowledge or first impressions of the issues, 74.5% said that they support Right to Repair legislation. Only 1.9% said that they would refuse to support such legislation.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
