Hi there.
I have a Replica Samsung Note 3 for quiet i time. (HDC Galaxy N9000 Note 3 phone Android 4.3 MTK6589T Quad core phone 5.7" 2GB Ram 16GB ROM)
After a mountain bike ride the phone started to open apps by itself.
There are some days i cant almost cant use it, others its almost normal.
I already removed the plastic protection from the screen and use a proper liquid cleaning solution.
Still the same.
Any sugestion?
Where a can find replacement parts?
I read about the screen may be under some pressure.
It only opens apps on both limits of side of the screen.
Thanks for your time
Hmm...
That's odd..
It happened to me but when I've had a screen protector along with softshell and it was bending the edges of screen protector...
Maybe Your screen or touch screen had bend a little due to heat or something (I'm just guessing...)
You could try loosen screws a little and see what happens... it may or may not help but maybe it's worth giving a try?
Hi all, I just got a Galaxy Tab S8.4 T700 with the original book cover. The things is after 2 weeks of usage the cover started releasing easily, and I was unable to change it at the store since I wasn't in the country any more.
Now I want to buy another cover because it is essential for me since I want to take care of the device.
But my question is, would be the tablet holders (the ones inside the small buttons in the back side, where the cover is attached) or the cover hooks the ones that are failing? I'm worried to buy another cover and have the same issues because the tablet holders are failing. Have you experienced issues with the official book cover? I'm surprised I was reading user reviews and they are happy to see the cover is safe and attaches tightly to the tablet
Hi, I also experienced it coming off 2 times on one side already. I own an 10' version. Happend when it was standing upright and I wanted to move it. Initaly I wondered that it was quite easy to attach, compared to other users reports.
Just to clarify, your book cover is separating from the tablet? Not that the book cover collapses (due to magnets) when propped on a table.
When I connect and pull off the book cover it is difficult. I thought I was going to break something by forcing the book cover "buttons" into the back of the tablet. My suggestion is to check the "buttons" to make sure they are not broken or chipped. If not, try to re-install and make sure you hear the book cover SNAP into the tablet.
Never happened to me in 4 months on the galaxy tab s 10.5

No, I'm talking about the book cover separating from the tablet. I plan to buy a new cover, original from Samsung but I'm scared it might fail again like the one I already have because the problem could be either in the cover hooks (the white plastic disks) or the attaching mechanism inside the tablet :/

i have the original samsung bookcover for my galaxy tab s 8.4 T705 for around 5month too and never ever happend to me , i actually feel super safe with it its attached really good to the tablet and i love how its made of good quality material and how it takes care of the device
I got a fake one on aliexpress for 10€ fits perfect and looks just the same but one of the buttons keeps getting loose, I fixed it with some double sided tape over the back and now it stays on perfect.

I know, old thread but this is becoming a serious issue for me as well. The tablet and cover will occasionally detach whend I go to move the tablet. Sometimes it'll detach while holding in bed and trying to type. It is EXTREMELY loose! I've actually had it fall out of the cover while it was closed once before.
Use some dubbel sided tape, that did the trick for me.

Same issue with OEM Samsung Tab S 8.4" book cover where 1 button repeatedly gets stuck in back of tablet detaching from book cover, I believe either/both hole and or screw is stripped from multiple incidences making book cover useless.
There's better covers than these click in Samsung book covers. I've had this problem too but now with a case without buttons which is better.
I have a tab a 8.0 2015 version and my book cover comes off too. Contacted Samsung to have it repaired the cost was ridiculous so I tried to order the buttons but they said they couldn't be ordered. What a bummer. Such small issue that can easily be taken care of if only I could get the parts. It would be easy if the buttons were attached to the back cover but unfortunately they are somehow attached to the inside of the tablet
I purchased my Gear S2 on release day last month, and so far all has been good up until yesterday.
I was turning the bezel to check my notifications, and noticed it started to get really stiff. To the point where it was nearly impossible to turn it. I turned it a bit harder and it started turning again, still controlling the device, but there was no longer any "clicks" that the bezel usually makes when scrolling through things and it was still really stiff and hard to turn. No matter which way I turned it. It also started producing bits and pieces of some sort of rubber from underneath the bezel that I could somewhat pull off. You can feel the stainless steel grinding when you rotate it now, which is really concerning me. I'm thinking whatever mechanism helps the bezel rotate underneath somehow broke and I'm not sure what to do at this point. The device is still fully functional, but the bezel is nearly unusable, and that's kind of the reason I bought the Gear S2.
Any suggestions? I bought it from Best Buy off-contract on October 2nd.
Any ideas?

Send it back and claim warranty?
Call samsung support
Just to anyone who might come across this thread with the same problem, I took the device to the Best Buy that I purchased it from and they were able to exchange it because it was still under warranty

I called Samsung with a similar issue. My bezel hasn't gotten stiff yet but the indicator "white dot" that goes around the watch face while turning the bezel sometimes goes the wrong way while scrolling through apps or reading email . This is only my 5th day with the watch. I love it BUT...I'm afraid this will get worse the longer I have it. I bought the watch from AT&T full retail. AT&T does not want to swap it and Samsung wants me to send it in for repair. I'm still within the 14 day return window at AT&T so I may just do that. Even though it will cost me $35 to do that :/
You will need to exchange it. I think what may have happened is that sand or grit has gotten under the bezel. This can happen even with a Swiss watch. The fact that it is hard to turn is usually an indication of this happening.
This has happened to mine after only 1 week. And I'm very gentle with it. The bezel is impossible to turn. I got the 3G version.
Fixed
When my Gear S2 started to feel resistive I used less than a drop of Super Lube around the rotating ring and worked it in a little. Better than new now. Rotates smooth with that sweet notch feel. I'm never without a pen super lube precision oiler in my pocket while at work. Part Number 51010. Amazon.

I wouldn't use an oil based lubricant on the bezel of the Gear S2. As was discussed in another thread, the Gear S2 is IP68 water resistant, which means it probably has a rubber seal underneath the bezel. Oil based lubricants may damage rubber seals and gaskets, so it is probably better to just rinse the watch with warm water. Since the Gear S2 is IP68 water resistant, holding it under the faucet and turning the bezel won't harm it. When my bezel gets sticky, I usually just take the band off and hold it under the kitchen faucet while turning the bezel.
The bezel has completely come off my s2 at some point and is lost. I've written to Samsung support and they wrote back with 3 suppliers ..... Useless information as they don't do any spares for the s2 ...... So I'm in limbo . In my opinion Samsung after care is rubbish

gun oil fixed the issue every time it gets hard put a lil in the cracks n turn it
just rinse the watch in water it will clear the dust and dirt under the bezel and it will go back to working fine
The same exact issue has happened to my galaxy watch. That is how I found this thread and im sure others will be searching too so im replying even though its old. The bezel would stick and I would force it to turn and it would be fine and then small black chunks of some type of plastic began appearing from underneath it so I spent some time turning it over and over again and then removing these chunks and it has worked just fine since it stopped producing the black chunks of whatever. It seems like some type of plastic. I was thinking the backing from an adhesive tape but at the same time hoping it was not part of a gasket to keep water out. I wear the galaxy watch in the shower and so far it has been fine. This is my first switch from apple to Samsung and have gone through 3 first gen apple watches because the screen randomly falls off. I was not expecting to have issues with a near $400 Samsung watch. as long as its still waterproof then there really is not an issue but I would like to know what is coming out of my watch and why...It doesn't seem like a major issue so far though.

From my understanding the bezels operate by ceramic ball bearings what ever color. Which also means there has to be some kind of springs inside as well to Hold appropriate pressure on the ball bearing to give the rolling clicks. I am a mechanic so dirt grease and grime are everyday things for my watch and up til recently I rinse mine randomly to get the gunk out
*removed*
So, today while I was walking home I felt my watch loose in my jacket sleeve, and when I looked, the part of the bezel that holds the watch strap was broken. As I hadn't hit it on anything or put any strain on it, I'm honestly super confused as to how that happened, and I'm very disappointed. I talked to Samsung, and currently their "out of warranty" repair service is not active, and apparently my watch is out of warranty. As I received this as a gift nine months ago, I can't really say where it came from initially so I can't say as to whether it should be in warranty or not. So, I feel like my best bet is to buy parts and fix it myself.
My question them is, if I purchased a metal bezel for a Gear 2, does anyone know if it would fit well on the Neo? I'd rather replace it with metal so this doesn't happen again. I realize the regular Gear 2 has a camera, whereas the Neo just has an IR sensor there, but I feel like I could make it fit. If it can't be done and someone knows that though, I obviously would not like to waste my time and money on it.
If anyone has any insight into this, I'd be very appreciative!
Okay, well shockingly I found a metal frame for really cheap from the next major city over from me so... I guess I'll give it a try. I'll post my results.
So, the new front chassis came in and unfortunately, as feared, the Neo and the regular Gear 2 are not quite as compatible as I thought.
The biggest issue is that the back isn't quite the same shape, which is weird because visually it's near impossible to see a difference, but it's there, and it prevents the back from fully closing. However, I plan to resolve this with a back for the full Gear 2 I ordered for cheap.
The second biggest issue is that the metal is designed to isolate the camera from the motherboard. This means there is a physical metal barrier which gets in the way of the IR LED. On top of this, it appears there are slits molded into the screw-posts for the board to slide into on the Neo, but these are absent from the full Gear 2. I plan to resolve both of these issue, very very carefully, with a dremel. I do not want to compromise the structural integrity of the screw posts.
The last issue I didn't confirm, but appears to exist is that the screen area on the full Gear 2 is slightly taller than on the Neo it seems. I had suspected this actually, and I think that would explain why my screen protectors were slightly too big. I plan to resolve this with a new screen for the full size Gear 2, which was also relatively cheap, but more than I wanted to spend on this project. I feel like you could get away with not doing this if you don't mind a tiny gap. But I want to make sure it's as perfect as it can be.
I'll update again once everything comes in.
Update: You can in fact put a Gear 2 Neo inside of a Gear 2 body, if you are so determined. Things that are different about the two include not just the metal main chassis, but also the back, the screen and the charging cradle. (As well as the main board.) So, if you want to do this, you'll need to get a new back as well, which I got cheap from ebay, and I'd recommend getting a new screen too. Theoretically the Neo one will fit, but there will probably be a noticeable gap. I have a Gear 2 cradle on order, for the time being I'm using the Neo charger, which is slightly wider, and holding it on with a rubber band.
The determination part: The main board will not fit into the metal case without modification to the case. (I wouldn't modify the board.) There's a metal divider to keep the IR LED from interfering with the camera, but since the Neo doesn't have a camera, and has the IR LED centered, this means you can't put the board in. This metal divider needs to be removed. Also, the Neo board goes around the screw posts a little bit in a way that is blocked by the metal. So, the trick is to remove the metal around the screw posts to allow the board to fit without compromising the structural integrity of it and without damaging the screw posts themselves. I did not need to make any slits in the screw posts though as I thought might be necessary. Which is good, because I feel a lot safer without doing that. I accomplished the necessary modifications with a Dremel, various tips, and a lot of care with a stead hand.
The end result looks really nice, and I do not anticipate having the same issue the plastic case had. I'm very satisfied, but it isn't the easiest thing to do. But if you are so determined, yes, it can and has now been done.
Hi,
first of all i will start with saying that I suppose I am not entitled to the official samsung warranty or customer service, as i bought my phone form ebay (unlocked version, shipped from Hong Kong). Unfortunately in my absence my younger brother managed to lightly scratch the screen when he was playing with it, he got scared and tried to get rid of the scratch by rubbing it with toothpaste (it's something he read on the internet, supposedly it was supposed to "polish" the light scratches and get rid of them). Of course it didn't work, and just made it worse. In fact it created a dull, round spot on the screen just where the scratch is, it was hard to clean and attracted moisture easily, moreover when screen was on you could notice a grainy/greasy spot. I guessed, that the toothpaste must've removed the oleophobic coating on the screen, so I thought i will buy a oleohobic coating kit, which i did. I went to Amazon and order the Crystalusion Liquid Glass, praying for it to fix it. After application it restored the hydro/oleophobic properties in that spot, and made it smooth just like the rest of the screen. Unfortunately the grainy/greasy effect while screen is on remained, and under direct light you can still see the dull spot, so i guess apart of removing the coating, he must've sanded the glass underneath it. I am thinking of putting a second layer of that liquid glass thingy, hoping it will fill the sanded pores, and smoothen the glass even more, maybe it will do the trick. It's not something that disturbs the every day usage, but i just cant get over the effect on the screen when its on .. and just the knowledge of not having a perfect, beautiful infinity display just after 3 weeks of having the phone is making me cry. And yes, I know i could use a screen protector .. I've tried those, and none of them suited me, first (samsung original) was not compatible with the case, and next two (wet application) ruined the screen quality (created that mentioned greasy/grainy effect on the entire screen), and after all the TGP reviews I decide just not to waste money on them, so i decided to go naked screen+case ... Do you think there any hope for me? Any ideas on how to fix it, or if it is even possible? Do You think that i can contact Samsung with a device bought on ebay? I will be grateful for any answer, and sorry if this is not the right place for this kind of thread.
Well it won't be covered udner warranty because it's damage caused by you. It's not a faulty product.
But you can maybe have it repaired by Samsung. They can replace the display with a new one. But this is quite expensive.
Putting a screen protector on might help mask the marks on the screen and make them less noticeable.
