Hey everyone,
Just saw that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WimH8g-H2lE and I wanted to know if anyone has done this already ? Have you succeed ? Or maybe have you done it with other solder points ?
So yes basically, just want to know your opinions and feedbacks on this ! I'm really hesitating on doing it or not !
Thank's guys
I tried and got all the soldering done. However, the tiny board with components that came with the Qi sticker was too fat to fit into the Nexus 5x backcover. It bulged significantly to the point there was space between the back cover and fingerprint scanner around it. It looked ugly enough that I took it out.

Did you remove metallic rectangular sticker inside the back cover ?

Hi, I've only used a magnetic charging lead on my Z1 Compact a couple of times. To be honest, I think it's not worth the trouble as it doesn't work half the time and is hard to connect properly.
When I last removed the magnetic plug, the magnetic contacts connector on the phone came completely away from the rail of the Z1C. I had to carefully detach the magnetic charger lead from the phones dock connector so as not to damage the 2 wires inside.
I have pushed the bit back into the phone and wont be attaching magnetic connector again. It fits in snugly, but now my phone can't be waterproof any more? Has anybody else had a similar problem?
Thanks

I use the magnetic charger quite carelessly, sometimes phone just hangs on it upside down. (don't ask me, better reception when tethering wifi)
Point is - it's durable.
Looks to me a bad assembly of a phone, get it replaced if you're too concerned.

I have been in the same situation. I bought my phone at Amazon (Germany). A special repairing company for tablets and phones solved this issue (magnetic contacts) under warranty for Amazon/Sony (hopefully). They also exchanged my back panel caused by the "flash bleed issue" for free.

could you please let us know more details? I mean did they replace for the same plastic back, or what?

Sorry for late response. I'm very busy in the moment.
Here is a photo of the new cover. Yes, it's plastic. Unfortunately, I don't have more details.
I think they exchanged the back cover and maybe the silver ring around the lens.
The support asked me about the colour of my phone and they had a solution for black phones.
I believe it's more difficult to resolve this issue for white coloured devices or other exotic colored phones.
Now, the flash light cannot longer pass through the cover, like in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50856162&postcount=1
PS: I have also put antireflex screen-protectors on both sides.
This happened to me after 4 months. Definitely a design defect as the only thing holding it in looks to be some type of thick two sided tape that looks like it acts as the waterproof barrier too. If they had built a locking connector into it there wouldn't be any issues. I read that this happens with the Z3 compact also.
Anyway, I sent it back to Sony and they repaired it. I'm thinking of adding some type of acrylic or superglue to it now to help secure it. I wish Sony would use one of the wireless charging standards instead.
If I put my thumbs on the screen and my index fingers on each side of the "S" from the Nexus logo and apply a little pressure my phone makes little pop noise like the plastic may be loose. Does anyone else's do this? Could it just be that it is plastic that it makes this noise and there is nothing wrong with the phone?
Thanks for any input.:good:

If you apply pressure to plastic it's going to deform slightly which would cause a noise like that, yes.

My nexus 5 didn't do that and it's plastic.

Mine does it but only if I hold it a certain way and apply pressure in an exact location. Since I don't do this as I use the phone it's a non issue for me. I'd say if it does it when you hold the phone the way you normally would when using it and it bothers you then return it and try again? Mass produced electronic devices will always have inconsistencies and defects. You'll have to decide whether or not it's acceptable.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the input.

mine does that too. I returned it, thinking it may be a factory defect. But it appears that the new one does that too. Just plastic. Once you put that in a case, you wont' hear clicking
I fixed the clicking sound by applying a strip of insulation tape on the inside of the back cover. Be careful though, just apply one layer, two are too much and lead to a gap between fingerprint sensor and back cover.
For me the clicking sound almost disappeared after 2-3 weeks.

Good tip! This made me realize that it's easier to fix rather then go back to the store and return it for a new one (which probably will have the same issue). It look quite easy to remove the back cover in order to mount the tape, even though I'm not that inspired to dissemble a newly brought product. Did you mount the tape's sticky side against the inside of the back cover? Or did you mount it against the battery? I'm not sure it matters.

I mounted it against the back cover. But i guess it does not matter, as you only need to close the gap between battery and back cover, so there is no more space for the back cover to move.

Tried this and moved the tape several times but I realized that the squeaking and clicking sounds kept on coming back. So I cleared it for tape and sent it in for repair. It turned out that my main issue was just at the fingerprint sensor where the plastic back cover were to tight on to the right side of the metal ring around the sensor. Couldn't get rid of it after all, but it sure was a nice try! it might be a solution to other units depending on where the noise is generated.

Has anyone replaced your battery on tab s2 where you source it?
You can find New Samsung ones on ebay for around 10 English pounds.
Easy job to replace too. Takes around 5 to 10 minutes.
Just loosen the back with a sucker then go round edge with Guitar pick.
Couldn't get back off fully from the Camera, but you can easily get out the battery by flexing the back open gently.
Battery stuck down with a few spots of glue but easily popped out with the guitar pick.
Back popped right back in.... Bit of play on the back so not as water resistant as before. No issue if you use in a case for me.
Beats the 30% wear on the battery after just 14 months.
Forgot to mention, I have the 8 inch version SM-713
I looked around ebay and amazon. Those Chinese man probably selling used ones pretending to be new. Is there any reliable source for really new ones? Thx.
hi anyone here?

Try Amazon. I just replaced the battery in my T713
I’ve replaced mine twice and sent back three or four batteries.
As far as I can tell, it next to impossible to get a good battery and original is completely unattainable.
So far I have never found a decent battery.
I've asked the local Samsung support a few months ago, it cost, in usd, ~$50, so I sold the tablet instead
Anybody who has done the replacement have any issue getting the back cover back on? I broke a couple of the clips off and can't find a replacement back. I'm hesitant to glue the back together in case this battery takes a dump. I am using double sided tape that came with a screen replacement kit but it is still pretty easy to peel the back off.

Is this about the 8" version? The 9.7" version needs to have the screen removed, mid-plate unfastened (16 tiny philips screws, including 2 easy to miss ones w flat-black heads).
I've just replaced my battery, the one that was in there was an OEM Samsung but my screen was glued on w black 4mm tape that covered one of the mid-plate screws, so I dunno if this was the original battery.
I replaced mine because I was getting 'storms' of reboots, thought the battery might be the issue (FWIW, still getting the same reboots post-battery-replacement.)
FWIW, I already had a killer suction cup on hand (from a RAM mount setup), these thin pry/cut tools https://www.fixez.com/categories/repair-tools/pry-tools/qianli-stainless-steel-ultrathin-pry-tool made it easy to get the screen off.
I also had an industrial quality heat gun to soften the glue, but that turned out to be unnecessary (you might need one if you start with your tablet cold)
I just changed the Battery on my T813.
It started to do some odd things, like rebooting even though there was plenty of charge or simply discharging to flat from 100% in a few hours without being used.
I got this from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KSZCDCB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it was a breeze to fit, back cover came of really easily after the initial poke around at one of the top corners (camera end)
No screws to undo, no adhesive, once that corner popped up (using the knife seen in pic 1) it was very easy

undo the connector cable, undo the 4 screws, remove
replacement is the reverse, and pop the case back on
Holds charge better, doesn't run out while using and as yet, no random reboots
In 2023 is it possible to buy brand new battery for SM T813?
Edit: i have the finshed look to it l upload pics when i can
Cut more around the camera area*
1000Thanks for posting all these pictures of the new BOLD-N1 with a completely transparent rear glass!
As I currently have two BOLD-N1 and I was curious to see this phone inside, so I really appreciate very much that you decided to upload all these pictures of the inside of the new BOLD-N1...
But, as it is not seen in the photos you have posted, I would also like to see where the spiral coil for the wireless charging is located?
Could you also post some pictures of the rear of the BOLD-N1 with the wireless charging coil mounted on it?
I would also like to know if after having removed the back cover of the BOLD-N1, if can be installed it again without any problems?... I ask you, because I imagine that this back cover should have an adhesive gasket all around it.
Thanks in advance!

A couple of speculatory guesses.
First is maybe a pad of some sort meant for holding down or stabilizing something.
Another possibility is it maybe for heat dissipation, but after looking at teardown videos I have doubts that is what it's for.
My guess is it is part of a separate water proofing "chamber" which houses sim/sdcard and probably the mics too....

Thx for replies, I forgot to mention that the exact same sticker is on the underneath of the battery behind in line where the fingerprint reader is, maybe it's shielding? I'm not sure if it needs it though, most of the glass back door panels sold don't have it on

It needs it. Those ones don't come with it probably because you're supposed to keep your original one? Not sure. But the best bet is, if something is there, it's there for a reason and it should stay there. :good:
