Hi all,
There is a small line on the screen inside the glass, and I am planning to give my phone for service. Can anyone please tell me what precautions I need to take before giving for service?
How to take a complete backup, my phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance. I am sure this question will be useful to many people.

Hi there, anyone got a disassemble / service manual for the Desire?
The reason is i got a little piece of dust under the screen, and don't want to send it in for repair.
Someone to share Service Manual? The phone has penetrated a little water - I want to clean. Thank you.
Hello all. First time posting on XDA long time lurker. I have a very specific situation i am currently dealing with. I am working with the local PD in a severe animal abuse case. A phone was confiscated during an arrest. the phone in question has information that will assist in our joint investigation. The kicker is the suspect is in custody and has been incarcerated. Not willing to share the password to unlock the phone to retrieve the data from it. Therein is our problem. Any animal lovers like myself that would care to offer some insight on my options would be greatly appreciated. Please send a private message.
Hello guys,
“This phone has been used previously and is in great condition besides **rebooting failure** which phone is being sold for parts only. Please see photos above.” this is what seller says and the price is 21.50$ How do you think should I buy it? what do you think what does rebooting failure means? or how do you think will I be able to fix it? please if anyone knows something tell me.
Thanks in advance.

If you're asking that question, then I'd say no, you probably can't fix it and shouldn't purchase it.
Thanks I haven't bought it
I have an offer from someone for me to repair the screen of this phone, but the lack of online documentation is making me worry.
Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the digitizer on this phone? And even better are there any tear downs?
I couldn't find anything either but it must be possible.
These docs probably will help a lot...

Hello guys.
A friend/colleague of my wife had his son die in a motorcycle accident a couple of months ago. His phone was not damaged but has a pin lock on it. The family wants to retrieve any photos or videos in the phone with their son. Searched around a bit but cannot find any way of unlocking without data erase. They just want any reminders of him and don't really care about the phone itself. It is a Note 10+ N975W. If you can help in any way it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

If anyone on the family has access to the accounts linked to the phone, they could easily unlock it that way.
They can also try and explain the situation on to a Samsung service center, I think they might just be able to do so with the proper proof of purchase for the device.
Doing this by themselves will most likely result in a total loss of the data which they're supposed to be avoiding.
I don't think anyone on the forum would help, mainly because of the lack of credibility on the story itself.
Good luck

Unfortunately they don't have access to any of the accounts . I will ask them if they can find any paperwork. I know my story is strange and I really don't know how to convince people about this. As some sort of proof if I just have a stolen phone or something I wouldn't care about any data and just hard reset it and bypass the google account. Anyway thanks for the idea with Samsung service center.
the problem is giving ways to access devices can open the phone to a load of fraud due to stuff like cards saved on the device either through services like the pay apps or other login information saved in the device.
so really it doesn't come down to plausibility of the story it comes from a security stand point and for sites like this they will not allow things like this to be discussed as it could be used illegally.
best option if you can prove you're a relative and the death of the user is to contact either Samsung or Google and see if they will let you recover the accounts and just hope the original user backed up their photos and such to cloud accounts or if you got access to the Samsung account likely remotely unlock the device.
I've not rooted my phone so I don't know if it wipes it or not.
But if not you can always root the phone and then use adb commands to remove the lock.
