Galaxy S23 Ultra: I think my charging port is loose or bad or dirty.

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 21:21:39 -0700

My phone frequently disconnects from the charging cable/Android auto I've tried new cables and it still happens. I have to unplug and plug it back in to reconnect, but if the cord moves a little bit, it disconnects again.

So I think it's an issue with my port on the phone.

Galaxy S23 Ultra: Is the Samsung S23 Ultra replacement battery 45W?

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 08:31:05 -0700

Hello, on August 6th, I ordered Ifixit's Samsung S23 Ultra Replacement Battery. Is it 45 W ? I am askig because I wasn't able to charge it above 30W (I'm using a 45W charger and a compliant cable) and Ifixit's specification page doesn't indicate this information. It just says that it's an aftermarket product as close as possible to the original and it gives various numbers EXCEPT the wattage.

Thanks for your help.

Galaxy S23 Ultra: Can the back glass be laser etched to have IMEI?

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 04:04:07 -0700

Silly question but I got a replacement back glass for my Galaxy s23 ultra and I want to have it look as OEM as possible. I'm worried the back glass has a coating on it or something that would cause an issue with laser printing or laser etching would anyone happen to know if this is something that I can possibly do?

Galaxy S23 Ultra: Volume button lost tactile feedback after UV glue went into it

Wed, 21 May 2025 05:01:10 -0700

I took my phone to a decent mobile shop and got them to install the UV screen protector. To my horror the UV glue has gone into one of the side volume buttons. The volume up button has the tactile feedback, but the volume decreasing/lowering button doesn't. Both buttons work, but the bottoms one has lost the click, so its bit difficult to tell if its working.

I dont want them to touch my phone again now. Also not sure if I take it the Samsung service center, my warranty gets void. So thinking of using a q tip soaked in 70-100% isopropyl alcohol to fix it.

If the alcohol seeps into the button, would it damage the phone/internal rubber or normal phone glue (not just the UV glue)?

(Yes the whole UV glue thing was a bad idea, should have done my reasearch..)

Galaxy S23 Ultra: I've dropped my phone a few times and now the S-pen isn't recognized.

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:51:50 -0700

What the title says. The phone itself works fine! It's incredibly sturdy. But I've dropped it a few times (several, actually, and a couple times were pretty bad) and now it's no longer recognizing when the S-pen is attached. Is there something I can do? I'm thinking of opening it up and fixing it myself, but I won't try until I at least know it's possible.

Galaxy S23 Ultra: Cosmetically Damaged Glass on front and back

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 10:03:18 -0700

I nicked the glass on this expensive phone and want to replace it. The digitizer works great with no problems- It's just not appeasing to look at. I've ordered a replacement front glass kit from eBay but not sure how to change it out. Some say the back has to be replaced as well.

I don't mind replacing the back as well but seem to only find aftermarket covers without the glass. I don't have to have a glass back, if I can use the original back without the glass- that could work for me.

Any help anyone?
