Hi xda-team and users...
recently i bought a real cheap i5800 on ebay. it works like a charme. there is only one problem (probably the reason of cheap selling):
there is some dirt under the display :-| i can live with it when i have to but when there is an opinion.
its there any way to open the cover and clean the display?
or can i get another cover (maybe the "dirt" is on the cover-side and not directly on the display)
someday i saw a replace cover for my old 5230. maybe there is one for the 5800 (tried google and ebay but i didnt found one).
another idea was to buy this:
xxxx://cgi.ebay.com/New-Samsung-I5800-Dummy-Display-Mobile-Phone-Toy-/200539469221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb11575a5
and try to open it and replace the original phone cover with the dummy parts. i know nothing about touchscreens (i am an electrician but in another sector) thats my problem.
maybe any1 here can help me with some information.
thx in advance.

Just for you to know: i open the case/cover and cleand the touchscreen. It was not that hard as i expected. If any1 need some help with opening i do it again and make some pics for a guide. Just msg me.

Hi,
I'm new to this forum so I'm not sure how this works or if I'm posting in the right place so apologies if I'm not.I have a Samsung Galaxy s4. Im from Ireland so I have the I9505 version.
About a week ago, the screen froze and stopped working. Its not cracked or broken and it wasn't dropped. The LCD lights up but the screen will not respond to touch. Everything works as normal: phone receives calls, texts and emails however I cant access them because I cant use the screen.
I got my friends galaxy s4 and connected his screen to it and it worked perfectly so its definitely the screen at fault. I rang Samsung and they gave me the impression it will be covered under warranty. They are sending me out a padded envelope and I am sending the phone to their authorized repair center in Dublin.
My problem is that when testing my friends screen on the phone, I accidentally removed a small clip that holds the front facing camera and proximity sensor down against the sceeen. I didn't realise until it was gone and I cant find it anywhere.
I am sending the phone to Samsung next week and I fear that they will refuse to fix the phone because they will know there was unauthorized access because this clip is missing.
I looked on eBay for a replacement clip but I cant find one. Does anybody know where I can buy one?
Or do you think Samsung will refuse to fix the screen on account of them knowing the phone has been opened?
I would appreciate any help,
Thanks in advance
Hey there!
Ive bought this Device 4 weeks ago. It was perfectly fine until now as the usb flap seems to not close properly anymore by charging etc. What can I do? It already got ripped off once but I've replaced it with a new one.

Might affect the waterproof feature. Return it and get a magnetic charger.
They wont let me return it. Just for repair and I need this phone for work

If it's faulty I don't see how they can refuse to let you return it. It's not up to them!
Is the frame bent?

Easy - if it's a user-caused physical damage, most companies will refuse any returns and will only offer a repair . With the flap torn off or deformed to the point it can't close anymore, the company can NEVER be sure whether it was due to manufacturing defect OR because the user applied too much force when opening it, so for the company it's just safer to assume that it was a user-caused physical damage.

What can you do? Basically, 2 things. Either rip the flap off if you don't NEED waterproof feature and continue using the microUSB cable for charging OR put a new flap and use a different charging cable, not microUSB but the one with magnet which can attach to the side "port" with exposed "pins", this way you will NEVER have to open the flap for charging. Or! Or find a different phone which can be both waterproof AND has wireless charging, these do exist, Samsung makes one It will have plastic body but hey, if your phone is a work tool and NOT just a toy for impressing your simple-minded "friends" with - plastic body is actually the better choice

They can assume what they want. I'd expect a flap to last more than 4 weeks and, personally, I'd pursue it and see what they say rather than just assuming.
Well, the problem is, that I already exchanged the flap with a new one because the old one just came off after 3 days of usage. Even then they refused as it is a damage which they thought was caused by mishandling the phone. I really care bout my things and handle them correctly, especially if its such a fragile device like the Z3 is. The first thing I did when I got it is drive to the city and buy an Adore June Soft case and I have no scratches or anything until now(no screen protector but i am thinking of that). So it wasn't my fault that it came off once in my eyes. It's just that it seems that there is a "left over" from the old flap inside the phone which means the new one doesn't fit correctly, sometimes it does sometimes it does not.
What shall I do if they just refuse it..
This is really frustrating bought a new one and even a NEEDLE thin tweezer to dig the bit inside the phone out. No way to get it out or anything near by that. Tried to put the new one in and guess what? It got stuck a bit so I had to turn it around and it snapped off! Now I have two of those **** things in side there. What to do? Send it to Sony? How much does that cost..?
Dude, just send it to Sony before you make even more scratches around the flap area with your tools. Or find a local smartphone repair shop (which can fix all smartphone models), they should be able to properly attach it for much cheaper price than Sony might charge you.
And like I mentioned before - consider using a cable which attaches to side "port" with magnet (it's called "Magnector" or whatever), OR switch to a different phone model from different manufacturer which doesn't require removing any flaps for charging. Then wait for brain-dead Sony "engineers" to release a proper carrier-free model with built-in wireless charging (like they did for Verizon), hopefully all of Z4 models will have that...

yes this problem is facing me in my z3 Dual D6633 after relative 2 Months ago
I am guessing not all markets get an extra one in the box. I have the T-Mobile version and mine has an extra one in the box.
Hello everyone. I got a counterfeit clear view case with IC from china. When I go to test menu and get inside the HALL IC test, I got 4 results as pass. However, while using, the Clear View screen doesn't turn on. I wonder if there is any way that I can enable it manually to control if the problem occurs because of the case or not. I am currently using 5.1.1
Thank you.
Maybe it's not working because it's a counterfeit? [emoji14]

Put some pictures, give more info on how it acts and why you think it doesn't work. Help us to help you.
When I close the cover nothing happen.
The same screen stays and nothing happen.

It might not work because there is no smart cover option whatsoever in settings. At least I have not found any.
Try using some smart cover app from Play Store.
