Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5G: How do I fix my phone

Tue, 19 May 2026 02:53:59 -0700

So today I was cleaning my room and I didn't notice my phone was on the table and my hair oil it's not thick, it poured over and I quickly took off the oil the bottle and tried to clean it off as much as I can I shut it off immediately my phones back has been coming off but not to the point where I can't put it back on and I'm sure it seeped through and I don't know if I can turn my phone back on without it being an issue I don't know how to clean it without it being ruined, so how do I fix it without going to repair shop because repair shops cost a lot these things and I want my phone to work thank you

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra: Nothing changed after a battery change

Mon, 18 May 2026 16:35:25 -0700

The old battery was very weak, over 4 years old at this point, and the Samsung Members app was saying that the battery health is low. So I bought the battery here on iFixit about 2-3 weeks ago, and successfully changed it. First of all did the battery calibration method as prescribed on the box, charged it to 100%, and let it drain, did it a few times. Still nothing changed, the phone kept saying it has 10 hours of battery life at 100% and rapidly going down from there. Samsung Members still said low health, and AccuBattery reports about 82% of battery life remaining. Next I tried resetting the BatteryStats in *#9900# menu, nothing changed. Today a system message appeared saying that the battery is degrading. Seeing that still nothing changed, I wiped the cache from the recovery menu, but it still seems to have done nothing. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution? I read on XDA that a solution might be in rooting the phone, changing some files and flashing back to stock, so it resets the battery life to 100%, but this seems like a stupid solution to such a simple problem, if it were some other phone i would perhaps do it, but considering it's a Samsung, rooting will make me lose a ton of features I wouldn't want to lose.

Sat, 16 May 2026 22:32:40 -0700

hey guys.

Im looking to get the IMEI off of a board i got delivered. but its FRP locked. there are no identifiers on the board itself, and the dial code *#06# doesnt work because emergency caller wont allow it.

Am i missing something as to where that should be recorded? i know iphones have the "i" at the bottom corner, but samsung doesnt appear to have it.

Samsung Android Phone: Internal cable repair or replace

Sat, 16 May 2026 18:05:42 -0700

In replacing my charging port one of two cables that connect with a gold snap fitting was broken in two places. My question is, is this a jumper cable or is it a two wire signal type cable. If the first I'll just solder it back into one piece; if the latter where can I get a replacement? Thanks
