3500mAh battery seems to have killed modem - forretress - 06-25-2020 Before replacing the battery, internet and texting were working on Verizon's network (I hadn't tried making a call). After the 3500mAh replacement[0] the bottom half of the screen started flickering. I immediately turned the phone off and put the stock battery in, but now I don't seem to have any cellular network access (though the phone can see my SIM card). I've already double checked that it wasn't a result of me accidentally flipping the kill-switches when I did the swap. I recognise that this was the result of me playing with fire to see what would happen, and while I'm open to advice I'm sort of assuming I'll need to wait for more main boards to come available -- replacing the modem specifically is probably above of my level of solder competency. I just wanted to warn anybody googling for pinephone battery upgrade information related to v1.2 CE that my personal experience is 3500mAh kills modems.

Thank you for reporting either way.
