[Q] How to disassemble galaxy core+

Hello everyone on xda,
This is my first topic. I have a Galaxy Core + with a small defect. The bottom edge of the screen (2-3mm) does not respond to touch. I know that the screen on our phone is glued, but I would check the tape on the motherboard. Unfortunately, nowhere can I find instructions on how to remove the plastic casing motherboard. All screws have been removed, but the case still holds. I also have the S4 and it's all easy to disassemble.

how does sview (cover) work with S6?

Hey Guys,
i now own a S6, and i wanted to know how Sview is working???
cause i bought a case and there is no sview screen....
i had a S4 before, and there is a hall sensor near the vol down button. if i put a magnet here, i can test sview.
S6 (phone *#0*#) tells me there are 2 hall sensors.
but when i put 2 magnets there, there is no sview screen....
also the mother of my girlfriend (is it called mother in law to me?) has a S3 mini (i think) and there also siew isnt working...
is there a menu a have to activate sview (like i had to do with my s4) within my S6 and S3 mini?
Thank you all!

Hi mate,
the s-view cover is working quite well with the s6 BUT the original samsung s-view cover scratches your screen!
It is the same problem as with the clear-view cover. The hard plastic is sitting directly on the display and if dust or sand comes between you have scratches all over the screen! :crying:
If you have a original samsung cover then you can activate it in the settings under "accessories". If you have a 3rd party cover you will have to download a 3rd party app to use it as it can not use the magnetic trigger (afaik) - this app use the proximity sensor mostly.
hope it helps..
Hi!
Thank you!
I have a Screen protection on the phone. so i hope there will be no scratches...
does the sview cover using the proximity sensor or hall sensor?
with magnet like the S4 does?
Can you tell me where i can find the proximity sensor?
i have no menu called accessories!?
That´s why i´m asking all the questions.
i know from s4 there is an accessorie menu, and i have to activete sview there.
but i can´t find this on s6!
and i want to know more Details how sview cover works.
Thank you
If I'm not mistaken, since Galaxy S5 Samsung has integrated Samsung ID chipset in their original S-View case. Therefore, if you want to use S-View function either buy original S-View case or get a clone S-View case with chipset built-in.
Currently, S-View for S6 has 2 approaches. One is install case owned app & another is clone case with chipset. Else, it won't work even with magnet attached on the case only like Galaxy S4.
Ah!
O.K. Thank you!
there is a special chip.
additional Question:
The S4 SView Case has a (don´t know how to say it in englisch...) small part with a magnet that keeps the case closed.
And the S6 Cover doesn´t have it.
how does it keep closed???
I think if it will be often opened and closed, then it won´t fit after a few "days"...
S6 doesn't accept "add-on" chipsets!

Sorry to revive a year-old thread but there is no way for the Galaxy S6 which is a sealed phone with a glass back to accept a "CHIPSET" to activate S-View capability. I have an S5 which I no longer use and an S6 which I've had for nearly a year. The S5 with the OEM inductive charging back included the S-View chip (although the back didn't have the cover attached). The S6 which is a sealed phone with no removable back cover, does not allow installation of add-on chipsets.
I think your mobile may get scratches on screen if you don't use screen guard.
If its anything like lg quik circle case it works of magnets
There are no magnets that hold the cover shut, but it stays shut by itself most if the time. When the cover is installed, a menu pops up and asks you to update the accessory. It may be done with a NFC chip, but am not sure. You need a screen protector on to keep the screen scratch free

on the lgs its a small magnet in the case not to hold it shut but it trips the sensor that only displays a portion of the screen. its highly unnoticable. and again if its like lgs quite small. if it run through the nfc wouldnt it mess with the wireless charging to?
The wireless charging is not affected with the samaung and belkin pad. Somewhere I read it recognised the case by nfc, but after some more research, there are 4 small magnets in the front cover

Washing the phone

This anyone do this? Or am I the only one..
Only for the water resistant phones..
I know, before u guys flame me, ip67 is not water resistant.. But good enough for a rinse..
I always bring my phone into the shower with me in the mornings. And why not.. Singing to my fav tunes on spotify while I shower..
When I'm done, I rinse the phone under the shower, then soap it up.. Rub rub with fingers then rinse off the soap. Done.. Leave the phone aside while I dry myself with a towel. I try my best to not direct the charging port towards the shower.
Once I'm dry, with a tight grip on the phone, and charging port facing outwards, I'll swing the phone up and down to get rid of excess water in charging ports or speaker.. Or headphone jacks.. Then gently dry the phone with the towel and that's it..
The phone feels brand new after this and all oil leftover from my oily face washed away.
Please do not to this if your ip67 rated phone had cracks or bents on its glass or metal or plastic parts.
Worked fine on my first ip67 phone, sony z3 until my current phone, samsung note 8. I even wash my wife's iPhone 7 from time to time..

Are you pledging for a frat?
Anyhow, it's amazingly unfunny.
If that was your intention, then job well done

S6 Exposed to Sun and High Temp

Recently a month ago, I left my S6 in the car for over 8 hours where it was exposed to direct sunlight. When I got back into my car, the back of my S6 was wet, would this be an acid leak and is it safe to continue to use the S6?
I've charged the phone to 5% and it does turn on still, I just don't know if i should continue to use it or just toss it in case of potential dangers.
Can someone please advise?
Place a piece of iron nail on the liquid at the back of the s6.
if bubbling send your phone to a repair shop.
if no bubbling remove iron nail, add vinegar.
if started bubbling send your phone to a repair shop.

Question Have any of you opened the Galaxy S7 FE?

Hello everyone. I would need to open the Samsung S7 FE to replace glass and battery. Have any of you already done this? Is there a guide or video about it? Thanks in advance
Should be similar to the normal Tab S7. Once you seperated the display, you should see a black plastic plate on top of the motherboard. After you unscrew all the screws on the black plastic plate, hopefully you should be able to remove the battery.
But do be careful with the display ribbon cable connector. The black piece is very thin and can snap easily. Already snapped mine in half.
