Inner Screen Repair for Samsung Fold - Besides Samsung Support - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers

Hi folks, my Fold 2 inner screen is having issues (flicking) and the hinge is not fully open. I tried using the air blower method but did not resolve the issue and Samsung Support quote me 550 USD++ to replace the hinge.
does anyone know if there's any 3rd party repair shops that can replace/repair the hinge and screen for a lower costs?

Samsung Galaxy SIII - Cracked Screen Replacement Issue

Hi Everyone,
I've searched and read a lot of posts but haven't found the answer I seek!!
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII, dropped it, and hence cracked screen. I bought a replacement kit as a DIY job and followed all instructions to replace the screen. However.. When I tried to glue down the replacement screen, there didn't seem to be enough glue left over on the edges to hold the screen down flat.
My question is:
What sort of glue is used on the SIII? I want to buy the same product, add some more glue and fix down the screen properly!!!
P.S I've read about the double sided tape alternative, tried it, problem is, it leaves a slight gap and the screen isn't as responsive as it should be.
Thanks in advance
James

You have to be used with it as long as anything is working. The LCD and touchscreen are glue together with LOCA (Liquid optically clear adhesive) or OCA film. They glued to the frame around the edges of touchscreen. Full LCD assembly may cost around $180 to $200, you don't need to change it unless it's cracked. Separate LCD assembly from the frame may end up of damaging them if you don't have experience.

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

Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 replacement housing.

Good evening everyone. Gonna try to keep this one shot and simple.
Recently had to send my P900 into Samsung for service. When I received my device back my exterior housing, more so the bezel, was damaged and chipped. Samsung refuses to acknowledge this as their fault simply because they failed to notice it during repair and thus, refuses to repair any cosmetic damage that does not affect performance of the device.
While I have tracked down a replacement housing, I have zero experience with the inner workings of the device. Can I simply remove the device from the housing and slip it into a new outer skin? Do I need to remove the digitizer and LCD screen separately from the other hardware? Any videos I have come across on the net have preformed complete screen replacements and are completely useless due to this fact.
Please help....

LCD and touchscreen are glued together and it's difficult to separate them from the frame without damages to either of them or both.
For example, heating up to remove the touchscreen also separate it from the LCD, you will destroy the Optical Clear Adhesive holding them together by heat.
You will likely crack the LCD during this process.
You have no experience then should leave it alone for cosmetic defects.

looking for a new bezel and back housing for the note pro

Hi,
So i bought a used Note pro and is rly nice but it has a damaged back Cover and bezel (the silver lining around the tablet ). I know from taking it apart that you can just swap out the hole thing. Problem is i can only find the black backcover but not the bezel. Maybe someone here has a hint where to get what i need?
EDIT: Just watched a video. It seems the pro is built differently than the 10.1 2014. They glued the screen to the bezel. That makes it near to impossible to just change the bezel. I'll have to live with a broken bezel then....

Some little superficial damage even on my used p-905. Though I paid 220 € with shipment, not disappointed. I was asking myself the same question about the bezel: thank you for saving my time! If you have like tiny scratches on the screen too consider applying official Samsung screen protector, it's perfectly trimmed and high quality (it hides moderate screen damages perfectly) and doesn't alter the feeling when drawing with pen which for me is a total must.
