Samsung Galaxy Ace: How to get phone off lock screen not responding to touches?

Mon, 31 Aug 2015 20:43:24 -0700

My Samsung Galaxy Ace Style for straight talk will not respond to any touches therefore I can't get it to go past the lockscreen to anything else. It seems to be working ok other than that, as in it stills shows icons and notifications at the top of the screen.

Samsung Galaxy Ace: Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus is shutting on and off by itself?

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 16:59:23 -0700

My phone ran out of battery and I put it to charge, after charging I turned on the phone... The phone shows Samsung, then the model and shuts off by itself and goes on a loop of turning off and on.

I thought it might be the battery so I bought one... Same thing happens when I installed the new battery, then if thought it might be that the phone doesn't charge so I bought a battery charger to proof that theory. I charged the batteries only to discover that the phone goes on the same loop of turning on and off by itself. Does anyone have any idea what can it be? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Samsung Galaxy Ace: Samsung Galaxy Ace Style won't turn completely on or at all?

Wed, 27 Sep 2017 03:26:02 -0700

6:45 am- HELP. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Ace and recently it started turning off randomly. When I go to turn it to, a bunch of the "Unfortunately (app name) has stopped working" and it would pop up 2-3 different apps at a time. And then it was to the point where all I could do would be to hit the ignore button because I can't open any apps what so ever. Now, my phone turned off this morning after a full charge last night and I went to turn off my alarm, but the screen was frozen, so were the buttons.. So I did what almost anyone would do and take the battery out for a few. Didn't work at all.

4:36 pm- Left my phone off and home all day, Thought it could use some time off. I did get it to turn on and the "Unfortunately (app name) has stopped working" stop popping up but it still shut off again. I don't have a clue what to do.

Someone PLEASE help.

Samsung Galaxy Ace: The phone boots up, but the LCD wont turn on

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 09:31:03 -0700

The phone does turn on, i can hear it booting. But there is no image or backlight on the LCD. I don’t have another display to try and swap it.

I opened the phone and capacitors fell of the PCB, maybe they were corroded, so i soldered another ones from donor board . And 3 tiny ones on the side are missing

The lcd connector has electricity trough its pins so, the display has power.

Visually inspected the connectors and the components on the board are looking okay.

So any suggestions what i could do?

Samsung Galaxy Ace: Phone overheats while charging and short battery life

Mon, 09 Jul 2018 13:27:49 -0700

Had this phone for over 5 years, overall battery life has slowly gone down since then but it used to be reliable for 2-3 days minimum on a full battery before, and I've always enjoyed having this phone so I don't want to get rid.

THEN, I started tethering it to my laptop via USB to connect the computer to the internet. Since I started doing that, it's battery won't hold at all. It will last maybe half a day if I don't use it at all, or 30-60mins if I call someone/browse internet. Even if I charge it up full then turn it off, when I turn it back on it will have only 5-10mins of life left. In order to use it I leave it plugged in at home and have got used to not having a mobile when I'm out, so basically it is a homephone now!!

I've also noticed that it heats up a LOT when it is charging, especially with low-power charging devices (i.e. not so hot when plugged into the mains, really hot when plugged into car or laptop).

I got a new battery and nothing changed. Guessing it's a CPU issue, but not sure what I can do about that. Any tips?

Model no: Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i

Android: 2.3.6

Samsung Galaxy Ace: While deleting photos the screen froze and then went black.

Wed, 03 May 2017 17:15:26 -0700

My phone has little memory and being of the older generation( meand the phone) I delete what I do not need and I assume this helps with the memeory available on the phone. I was deleting photos - one at a time - when the screen froze and then when I hit the back button it went black. And now there is nothing - won't turn on or respond. Plugged in the charger but also no response. I had noticed that the background on the homepage seemed darker but thought I probably had accidentally changed brightness settings or something - not a committed phone user. Phone is well looked after - not used continuously, never near water and never dropped and no cracks on the screen.

Thankyou.
