Sticky buttons - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi everybody, I've had the z fold 2 now for about 1 month, I started experiencing the volume down button being sticky, it still responds but there's no click and it feels like there's no travel of the button, now im experiencing the same with the volume up and power button, so now all buttons have a sticky feeling.
Anyone else found this issue?
If you have what did you do to rectify it?
I look online at Samsung repair but nothing regarding sticky keys that still work, I did buy it secondhand from a company called CEX which give you a 2 year warranty, will maybe have to wait until lockdown is over to go into the shop

tilt for sale (2 issues)

hey guys, i'm selling my at&t tilt. the phone is unlocked and has hard spl on it, but still running the stock rom/radio. there are two issues with this phone:
1- the S key on the keyboard is missing (see picture). You can still press the button (takes a lil more effort) but the rubbery piece is missing. hasnt been an issue with me since i mostly use the onscreen keyboard anyway.
2- For some reason, when you put the phone to sleep (using the power button) it'll come back to life after a few secs, with the calender app open. it seems like the left soft key is being pressed even though its not (look at the keyboard pic and you'll see what i'm talking about). i've tried hard reseting and still does the same thing. the interesting thing is that when you leave the phone to go into sleep by itself (i have it set to 1 min) it doesnt come back on! so this also hasnt been a major issue, since you can just leave it for a min and it'll go to sleep and stay that way until you wake it back up with the power button.
other than that the phone is in great condition. there is a small scratch on the top left (see pic). The phone comes with:
-original box
-battery/charger
-carrying clip (see pic)
-extra stylus
-*MISSING* USB cable (you can get one for $5 online)
for those reasons i'm selling it cheap $200 shipped or $175 local pickup (i'm in south florida, ft. lauderdale) any questions PM me, thanks
omar
pictures of the carrying holster i'm including
just to be clear, the $200 shipped is only for US/Canada, it'll be a little bit extra for international shipping... and payment is by paypal only (or cash if local pickup)
i need this gone soon, so make offers! thanks
omar

[Q] Galaxy S i9000 home button not working

Hi there, I have a Galaxy S i9000 which the home button stopped working last night.
I suspect it's water damage so I don't want to return it, it's around 6 months old.
Would the users here suggest that I return it, or buy a home button flex and attempt to repair it myself?
If I'm advised on the second option where can I buy the replacement parts?
I have often been using the phone with wet hands, as well as in a hot steamy environment for the past 4 months with no issue until now.
I have some very minor, near irrelevant skills to do with electronics and it's limited to putting a pc together, and some soldering when I was a kid.
Any help would be appreciated thankyou,
Mark.
I'm running darky's rom 10.1 and darkcore 2.6 kernel

Me too, and i've read some people with this issue...seems to be a major hardware problem, disassembly and try to fix but no luck, physical home button seems to be dead . I don't know if buy the complete button or send to samsung, watch this: http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/...For-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Free-Shipping.html
Happened to me yesterday, but the extrange thing is that I can enter the recovery using 3 button combo, so it is not a HW problem...
I tried to reflash original JVS, JVT, CM7 and MIUI but as soon as I pass boot animation the button doens't work...
Any ideas??
Your phones are probably still under warrany, there's no need to fix it youserlf, take it to your mobile service provider if you bought it with them, or call a samsung agency near you if you bought your phone anywhere else.
I've had my SGS for about 14 months and never had any trouble with home button I guess not everyone has that luck
Hi, guys.
My home button stopped working one day as well. I ordered this in AliExpress
It was ok for me. The item you can see it seems different or not original. But it is totally the same. Now I show you my old piece and you can compare. It is a little complicated to install, you have to be very carefully and operating with the right tools. If I were you, I would order two items, just 9$ plus and you can fail the first time
Mine:

well mine did the same used a hair dryer on tge home key it worked after 2-3 passes just go too hot goodluck

Note 2 s-pen button missing

Pulled the s-pen out and the button was missing (see pic)
Have no idea how i lost it and there is no damage.
Is this a known issue?
This should be a warranty replacement from Samsung or sprint, i would think
Going to sprint store in the morning where i bought it, 36 days ago, to see
what they say.
You probably applied too much pressure using ur finger nail on the edge of the button causing it to pop out and fall without you noticing, but as far as I've noticed the button is very sturdy so maybe it's the manufacturer's fault, hopefully they'll replace it for you
Same thing happened to me.. Pulled it out and the button was missing... No idea when or where it fell off... Sooo pissed right now.

I was able to pop mine out when doing the tap, tap, tap trick on a hard surface to fix the sensitive calibration problem. I can see it popping out if dropped or smacked just right. I did take off the cover prior to tweak the calibration and it might have weaken it but it holds.
try to waranty on samsung service center
Hasn't happen to me but I was recently using Sketchbook on my note 2 and notice that button has loosen a little since using the pen a lot.
i dropped it from probably 1 feet and the button came off , but later was able to find it in case if you find it you can snap back it on but its hard to find even when you know where you dropped it , samsung's flimsy quality
From the image, it looks like you have pried it out before?
As if you took a flat-head to it and cut into the case of the pen. If you are trying to get a warranty replacement, I wouldn't send this image. They'd probably shoot you down in seconds.
For everyone here that has had the button fall off at some point, have you taken the button off before?

in my case it went off after falling never tried to remove it deliberately , in case if you find it you can just snap it on
I went to verizon for same exact reason. They said to call Samsung because they have no
Replacements. I called Samsung and got the full run around. First guy told me to hard rest my phone. After 5 times
Of me strongly telling him to listen to me. I asked him why I was needing to reset my phone? Will my
Button magically re appear on my s pen? He said yes it will fix my issue by restiing the settings
To factory!!! I asked for a manager at that point. This new guy told me to mail in my pen for a.replacement.
I asked him why becaus its under warranty why verizon couldnt do it. He then said I would most
Likely not get a replacement because it would be listed as user
Breakage. I asked for a new manager and this guy flat out told me I would never see a
Warranty replacement on it because its an accessory to the phone and I would either
Be asked to pay $76.13 for labor or $30 to buy a new one. He also said I would not get my old one because they
Dont return broken items.
I asked him what good would it be for me to have 2 pens if I were trying to pull a fast one. He said I might be ambidextrous and use both
At the same time. At this point I wanted to jump through the phone and ring his neck. The entire time he was snifling like a tough guy saying he was sorry but was going to do nothing. Even though my phone is 6 weeks old to me..
Samsung has the worth CS. and can give a rats ass about you.
He then reminded me that on any samsung device. If a moveable part
Anywhere on a phone breaks or falls off it is automatically put in the system and user damaged and all warranties
Are gone for that replacement......
I am selling this device as soon as I can and will continue to tell my story on how bad they are and how they feel they can treat people.
That's a very interesting story, and the experiences I've had with a multitude a CS, it all comes down to the individual.
Keep calling and complaining, should have gotten a name or some forms of ID to report that imbecile.
Hahaha. If you want to see bad cs go call asus! Most anyone with a tf201 will know what I mean
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Sorry for the bad typing. It was late and I was pissed....
I do have their names and will be pushing this up the chain as far as I can get it.
I got a hold of a Verizon rep and told him the situation and he too seemed annoyed that
Samsung said what they said. He offered to send me out a replacement S Pen and not just the button.
However, its color wont match my phone but at this point what can I do? I need my S Pen to function the way
I have become accustomed to.
It is a sad day when bigger companies hold you hostage like that. Telling me I will never see a replacement from them
Also if you own a Samsung device. Just know (according to the rep) any moving part on a samsung device. Buttons or home keys
S pens etc.. Should they lose that part even if it simply is defective will never be covered because they will deem it as user breakage.
I think this will be my last Samsung device. Not because it broke. Because the way they treat people. I had 3 reps back to back act like fools and
I just cant deal with that....
So what if the pen isnt under warranty. Just pay the $30 to replace your defective pen lol.

An exact replacement is all of 20 bucks on Amazon.
If you keep speaking to reps in absolutes of "you all are holding me hostage!!!111panic" you aren't going to get the best of responses.
If I were you I'd go ahead and buy a replacement, but also pursue this with other customer service reps through Verizon or whomever you purchased the phone through. But if this "will be your last Samsung device" then forget about pushing it.
Saw them for $10 - $15 for a new authentic OEM S Pen on eBay. Seriously, just buy one to put back in. Then get another pen. S Pen is horrible anyway. Luckily, I've horded a couple in each color just in case.

Hello, you can find guides on how to open your z1 on YouTube and Google, however I would not risk it and open it my self
Hmmm, I need to do it myself because repair shops here they do that for like 50 Bucks, and the piece is only 10 bucks, so I'm saving much money, but risking my phone too :/
I'm a 17 years kid with no money haha, not working yet, that's because I didn't send it to the repair shop.
No body? :'(
I sent mine to Sony Service centre here in Singapore. My warranty covered it so it's free (despite having the liquid detector thing red). However it took me 4 and a half weeks for them to repair a freaking power button

Don't worry, I know your troubles, im 14 and i'd repair my phone myself, im kind of like the risk it or always have it broken, i've taken computers apart before and back together but different from a phone since there's tinier screws more tiny parts and risk of breaking tiny little things lol, I should stop there since im probably scaring you, I would fix my z1 myself but then i wouldn't put it back in water because i wouldn't be sure if my phone lost it's tight seal ability or not, but first i'd watch lots of take apart videos for the z1, also have a computer next to you so you can review the steps, one thing i know for sure is you need a heat gun of some sort to take the back off, then from there more taking apart

Motherboard (Daughter-board) Replacement

Hello.
I have to change the small motherboard, or like I see it also called daughter-board, because phone vibration stopped working and even changing the motor didn't work.
My board is with number 50H10209-02M-A (2012-12-21). But I found that there's also the same board with number 50H10209-32M-A (2012-12-21) which I can get a little cheaper. Do you know if there is any difference and if I can buy 50H10209-32M-A or I have to stick with 50H10209-02M-A?
I tried to find information in Internet but nothing...
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

get the same one or else this will happen, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/phone-rebooting-loop-replacement-t3442504#post68312039) do you have an unlocked model?
Oh noes....my volume down switch went bad so I just blindly ordered a daughter board from eBay
(no part numbers given on listing, lulling me into a "they are all the same" attitude)
What are the chances I got the wrong one and am no closer to getting it 100% working??
It arrived today but I am not going to attempt fitting it yet or comparing part numbers as I am still waiting on a new screen/digitizer to arrive from China/ HK
The fewer times I have it open the fewer chances of screwing it up
Not having a working volume down I suppose I can live with in a worst case scenario
(this phone is NOT for me and the new owner - My Mrs - is not going to go anywhere near recovery/fastboot/bootloader and is currently back to stock and having it jammed on full volume /may/ mean she will actually hear the phone ringing and increases the chances of her picking it up!)
Regards
Rob
Sure enough, the board I ordered - despite the image of the 50H10209-02M-A board the seller sent me a 50H10209-32M-A
He wants me to send it back to China before a refund is given (at my cost)
As I only paid £7 for the board I guess I'm stuck with it and out of pocket as postage would likely be more than that
The screen also arrived and works great - but the LED's under home and back button have been stuck down wrong - so the LED's don't light the buttons by the HTC logo... but put an annoying glaring white light into the screens corner :/
Seller asked if a partial refund would make me happy which I just replied yes to
A whole £1 refund was waiting for me when I got home...sigh
There's a lesson to be learned here but I'm 100% sure I will get bitten a few more times before I put principals before the wallet
Off to find ways of disabling the home and back LED before it drives me round the twist
Regards
Rob
