Does anyone know why is this happening? Can it be fixed?

This morning, when I picked up my phone, there was a black part on my screen, I thought it was strange, because I almost never drop my phone. My screen is not cracked, just the film. I thought it was something about dead pixels, but when I flip my phone, the black things moves to other places . Does anyone know why this is happening? Can this be fixed?

(Note: it's a Xiaomi Redmi Note 13, Purchased 10 months ago)

A52 5G NETWORK UNLOCKED [but isnt]

2 Upvotes

After weeks of emails and phone calls with the T-Mobile Executive Office, Metro customer support, and senior technicians—and getting hung up on twice during three-way calls with Samsung support—they've officially "exhausted all resources" and given up.

At this point, I'm trying to sell the phone for $60, which is a huge loss compared to the $155 I originally paid. I’ve factory reset it probably 20 times and even flashed the firmware using Odin. Still, no one can explain why it won’t network unlock.

According to both Metro and T-Mobile’s databases, the phone is network unlocked. The IMEI checks out as clean. It even registers when I insert an unactivated Metro SIM card (though no data connection is established). But when I put in my T-Mobile SIM, it just says “Network Locked” in the top-left corner.

There’s no unlock app on the phone, and the “Request Unlock” option in the connection settings—which should appear until the request is approved—is missing. The last thing they had me try was tapping “IUCC update” in Settings, but that option doesn’t even exist.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of any tool that could help unlock this phone? I’m completely stuck. I can’t afford to buy another phone right now, and I’m honestly at the end of my rope. On top of everything, my mom was just hospitalized and we found out she’s had multiple strokes—I’m overwhelmed.

I’ve been researching nonstop—running ADB commands, using shells, trying anything I can find—but nothing’s working. I keep coming across technical info I don’t fully understand, and I don’t have anyone knowledgeable to ask. Just having someone experienced to talk things through with—someone I could even share screenshots with—would mean so much.

For context: it’s a Samsung A52 5G (model SM-A526U1). It’s supposedly network unlocked, but still locked to Metro. I’m just trying to use it on T-Mobile.

I’m honestly about ready to lose it over this phone.

Samsung Galaxy A34 5G back panel adhesive options

1 Upvotes

I've got a Samsung A346E, and the back panel has came off, and I'd like to reattach it properly and hopefuly restore the water resistance to atleast splash resistant level.

Problem is, where I live (indonesia) there are no listings for the pre-cut adhesive for my phone (pre-cut adhesive part number is GH02-24546A), and listings for the entire back panel are often missing the camera glass, the flash diffuser, and a preapplied adhesive, aswell as having questionable colors judging by the screenshots put up by the seller.

So realistically, my options would be to either use B7000/T7000 or tesa tape right? except noone here sells tesa tape 61395, at ALL, and it wouldnt make sense financially to import a singular roll of 2mm 61395 tesa tape.

Now my only options are to either use sketchy tesa tape ripoffs or go with the B7000/T7000 glue, which option should i go for and if i should go for the glue, which brand in particular should i buy from? (zhan lida, bao shun da, bu lai en, gse, or whatever other brands there are), Ive heard that some use toluene and that its a toxic material, I dont really care about possible toxic fumes and I just want the best adhesion possible (more likely than not to never really need to open this thing for maintenance)

And just a thought, would it work if i bought 2 pre-cut adhesives that are meant for the A54, and instead cut them up and try to fit them in my A34? The A54 is smaller than the A34 hence why I thought of buying 2, but the A54 should have the same corner radius as the A34 (correct me if im wrong)

Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

Huawei p30lite front camera not working

1 Upvotes

This phone fell on concrete, the screen had to be replaced and the front camera looked normal. But the stock camera app crashes when flipping the camera, and other camera apps like "Open Camera" simply don't have a camera flip button. The rear cameras are fully functional.

I replaced the camera and the problem is the same. The connector looks good and there is no corrosion or damage.

How do i unlock my carrier locked iphone

1 Upvotes

Recently bought an iPhone 15 like yesterday and I just noticed that it was locked so I cannot use my carrier plus the person I bought it from has no idea about who the previous owner was and turns out that the phone is locked by T-Mobile so does anyone has an idea? How can I unlock it for free? Any help will be appreciated. T-Mobile support was not helpful.

Realme not working after in phone shop

I had my volume down button broken and my phone got repaired bcs "its stuck in recovery mode no matter what I do it keeps getting back to that. After a day my phone worked but AFTER A DAY "my phone stopped working because of a sudden black screen" when I tried to boot it up again its stuck on the loading screen for what seems like AGES. This phone was sent back to the same repair shop only to get "The software stopped working" by a claim from my mother. I dont believe that they didnt do anything suspicious to my phone HELL I dont want to even replace it.

I felt like something was off. "My software stopped working" no i dont believe that.

My mom is labeling me as paranoid but I feel like it could just be the battery. I dont want my phone "replaced" i want the data to be transfered at least or get back to working again. I found my phone's back case removed like this when I got it back after I refused to have the "data" wiped. I really dont want my phone to be gone. Seriously, I dont want any school files or one of my deceased pets's pics so I COULD REMEMBER THEM to be gone PERMANENTLY. Please help, I dont know what else to do. I dont want to buy another phone. I dont think I have a backup. i tried to ask my family members to borrow their phones so I could take a camera shot of my phones but no (they were either completely unreliable or useless.)

I already added isopropyl alcohol and a lot of heat. The glass is uncomfortably warm to the touch.


r/phonerepair 1d ago

About a year ago my iPhone 11 screen stopped responding to touch intermittently.

1 Upvotes

And then one day it just finally stopped. So I had the screen replaced at a local phone repair shop. Flash Forward to today and I'm experiencing the exact same symptoms I was the first time. It'll stop working for 45 minutes to an hour and then it'll just be back to normal. I've hard restarted it, I've tried cooling the phone down (that made the screen respond last time this happened), but I'm just truly at a loss as how this happened again. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

Posso alternar entre o microfone primário e secundário? (MOTOROLA ONE neste caso)

0 Upvotes
Olá, como o tópico sugere, preciso trocar meu microfone primário (fica na parte inferior do telefone) pelo meu microfone secundário (microfone da câmera). Por que preciso fazer isso: o microfone inferior (primário) parou de funcionar, pensei que era um problema de software, mas não, é realmente um problema de hardware. Então, a maneira de contornar isso foi trocar meu microfone secundário e defini-lo como primário, mas não sei se é possível, alguém já fez ou sabe como fazer? Fiz algumas pesquisas na internet e alguns sites disseram que pode funcionar como root, mas eles não compartilharam informações suficientes sobre como fazer isso

Can i switch between primary and secondary microphone? (MOTOROLA ONE in this case)

1 Upvotes

Hi, as the topic suggests, i'm in need to change over my primary microphone (stays in the bottom of the phone) to my secondary microphone (camera microphone). Why i need to do this: the bottom microphone (primary) stopped working, i thought i was a software problem but no, it is really a hardware problem. So the way i could overpass it, was to change my secondary microphone and set it as primary, but i dont know if its possible, someone already did it or know how to do it? I made some search through the internet and some sites said it might work as root, but they dont shared enough information on how to make it
