First, my phone works fine.... this is not a big deal but it bothers me a lot.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed when I was holding my S3, lightly squeezing the edges or the back cover, the phone was making a sound like it's not well assembled.. like it is loosen... (like a low "crick" or "crack" noise inside or something)... I don't know how to explain it better..
Anyway I found out that if the battery is removed, squeezing the phone sounds just perfect, very well assembled with nothin loosen inside (no "crack" noises)... So its obviously the battery that seems to be causing this...
Is this just happening with me or its a ordinary problem?? Is there something that I can do to stop this?
thanks!
Check none of the back cover clips are broken or any hairline cracks in it.
Buy a Nice and cheap backcover from ebay. Maybe yours broke.

My SGS3 is international unbranded from phones 4u UK. Never Dropped. My SGS3 also has this problem.... If I press the back cover at the top in between the camera and groove for removing cover I hear a crack or creaking noise. it may be the part of the problem with the back covers when the phone was originally released, Although they said that was a problem with the finish. Doesn't bother me but it is why people are always slagging Samsung's design/build quality.
Hey guys,
I got myself a View Cover for my Note 3.
Now I've got a problem:
When completely opening the cover, so that the front view is on the back of my phone, the phone goes into the "cover is closed-mode", i got that square view and can go to camera and action-memos...
But i just wanted to use my phone normally,
Is it just me with that problem or has anyone the same problems?
phone is in "cover is closed-mode" when it's actually closed
phone is in normal mode when cover is opened
phone is in "cover is closed-mode" when it's flipped back completely
Thanks in advance!

I've got the same problem. I stopped using the s-view case because of it.
Some people say there were some defective batches where this was an issue (magnet too strong?), and others say they don't have the issue at all.
If you have the option, try exchanging it for a different one and see if you get better results.
I had the same thing happen as well. I let the company know and they gave me a new case. Hasn't happened since.
Are you guys talking about genuine S-View covers?
Because I get that sometimes on my cover, but it is a cheap chinese knock-off, so I don't mind it at all - it rarely happens anyway.
But I wouldn't accept that on a genuine Samsung cover.
I've tried another cover, too but the problem remained. I aswell am using some chinese knockoff, although it says samsung... But yeah, can someone tell me if the original view-cover got that problems?
Thanks for your replies!

Genuine Samsung s-view cover doesn't have this issue
I've got a genuine cover and I don't have this problem at all.
If its a knock off, good chance the magnet in the front of the case is too strong. I've noticed if I put a magnet up to the bottom left of the phone, this will trick it into thinking the cover is closed. Similarly if its done from the back of the phone, if the magnet is too strong it will trigger the same. not sure if theres something you can place in the back cover of the case to shield it?

First, thanks for your reply!
I will check if I can protect the back somehow.
But anyways, I am thinking of buying another view-cover because my phone won't recognize mine from time to time... Have to reattach it to get it back working.
Hi guys,
I have been facing a problem with the falp on the left side of my xperia z2 (white, but has no gaps nor missaligns), which is that it keeps coming off. First it was ok, nothing moved, then, after opening and closing 4 times to connect to the PC it started coming off.
Now i only take it off to plug it tot he charger. infact, i bought and adapter so that i can use the wireless charging already.
The only solution I found was on a thread where someone said to put sillicone lube on it. This worries me, since i've put some (not to gross out people) "mouth moisture", AKA spit, on the rubber and it instantly makes the flap jump out of position, so i assume a lube will only make it worse.
I have contacted sony but if i send it to repais i will be without a phone for atleast 10 working days, and that is if i'm lucky....
This is a problem, since the phone is waterproof, or i would just cut off the damn thing
Does anyone have a solution for this?
thank you very much
Ive found that the flap its self losens after time but it being closed is only problematic when there is dust in the port, cleaning it out solves my problem

i wont agree you! just keep thanking God!

Well, unfortunatly not mine... that was the forst thing I did when it stopped closing.
Amazingly now it is staying closed, has not self-opened for about 8 hours.
I guess it just gets posessed now and then...
I'd get that checked out, been using mine a lot since I got it a month ago and this has never happened, surely this will affect the water resistance.

Same with what Envious_Data said, cleaning out the dust from the flap and the "socket" where the silicone seal seats solved the problem for me.

"I kinda semi-fixed the loose flaps by cleaning off the accumulated dust around the edges of the seal and the covered area...doesn't seem to fall out as often now."
This is what you answered on your post and i have seen the answer, but " doesnt seem to fall as often now" is not, imho, the ideal scenario for a 700 euro phone, now is it?
Mine has not fallen today, which is a freaking miracle. Did not do a thing to it, it just... fixed itself i hope. Not gonna put it under water though

Haven't have it pop open on me since then actually. However I do fully agree with you that it's totally unacceptable for a shiny new flagship device to have such flaws.
I got the damn same problem! It looks like is the dirt but it might be something else. I cleaned the flap pretty (really) well. I did it with a slightly weet (with alchol, be carefull)cotton swap. I had to do this two times to be sure its really clean.Its holding more time in its place now. I'll post if the flap pop out again by itself.

Sony do, either send it for repair or live with it.
Bear in mind if any home made repairs ie silicone gel worsen matters you may find Sony refuse to fix ot
Everybody must try this! Remove the flap then try to put it back in its place. Im going to buy a new one in future (just in case). Here is a video I found, it shows how to remove the flap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzXmsgNP2Eg&app=desktop
Its working for me!! But im still testing (I guess im going to start to use my magnetic charger more often)
"thanks" if I helped

Definitely its the flap. I bought one from here (they are original) http://www.witrigs.com/sony-xperia-z2-replacement-parts and finally after more than 40 days!! it arrived and now my z2 is 100% waterprof again! Im very happy now. The flap stays in his place!
I recomend you guys to buy this to solve the problem, at least it helped me.
In case you buy, I used swiss post, it take a long time but it was secure. This was the first time I buy someting from another country (Im from Mexico, btw sorry for my english hehe)

Thanks, must be the flaps have been twisting too much and it was trying to twist back or something which made it push off.
Taking it off and putting back in fixed it 100% for me, just ordered a magnetic charger though. Dont wanna remove and put it back in every month.
Thanks so much for your post, I used a wall pin and de-dusted my flap and it no longer wants to keep opening.. It was quite surprising how much was actually there
Thanks again!
You could buy a new one from internet (ebay, amazon, etc) or clean it

Buying a replacement isn't so easy, well it is, but 99% are copies unless they have been pulled from old phones now. Most if not all the reviews condemn these replacements as poor quality and unfit for purpose. I have recently lost my micro USB cover and am waiting on delivery of a "copy" port replacement. Cost just under £5 for a pair of covers. Could of got some second user official ones for £7 but I thought I'd take the risk with the copies.
As for cleaning I just use ear buds/Q tips to collect the lint/dust.. anything sharp will only compromise the water proof nature of the seal.

Can Use custom Kernel with all cover working mode. :good:
If you are on Android L 5.0+ then you'll have issues with any S-View case. I have read several threads on XDA and other site about this issue. I don't know if this will help you or not. I know you dropped it but it may not be just the case.
Hi everyone,
I am the owner of a Galaxy A80, it was working perfectly then today suddenly it turned off by itself and I'm not able to have it work again: recovery mod doesn't work, charging it doesn't do anything, no download mod working, it became a piece of metal and plastic with any sign of life.
What can be the problem according to you and how to fix this?
Thank you
Hello!
I would recomend to open up the backcover, unscrew the plastic cover and unplug the batteri, it happened me once and it worked perfectly!
EDIT: then ofc i screw back the plastic cover and reinstalled the backcover!
BE CAREFUL! u most likely crack the backcover if u are not careful!
