I got a new phone but didn't have my notes or pictures transfer, the back ups were far back. I'm curious what the best path to grab the data would be.

Is there a way to mirror the screen without accessing the phone settings?

Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus Screen and Battery Assembly Replacement

Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus Screen Replacement

It was no issue until the last step of screen removal. At this step, instead of removing the screen, only the screen cover seems to have detached, and I'm left with an aluminum-looking foil, probably a part of the screen itself.

I thought it was probably just a matter of degluing the screen itself, but after a few tries I noticed there seems to be more afoot there, and that's probably why there's no screen replacement guide for the s22+.

I did buy a screen replacement kit including the screen part from ifixit, so I would be at a loss if I needed to buy a part again, this time a screen and battery assembly, so I'm looking for help here, from anyone who knows whether there's a next step I can take that doesn't involve taking out my debit card.

Went through all the settings, tried the "*#0*#" diagnostic, no vibration.

Strangely this happened right after the One UI 7.0 update.

I dont know for sure if the update is the problem, or if it was just time for it to fail.

This phone has never been dropped.

I started looking at possibly replacing the vibration motor.

Looks like very doable repair, but not sure of the part I need or if it's even available.

I think theres a loudspeaker replacement part, and I think the original part has both the loudspeaker and the vibration motor included? So trying to figure out if the replacement part has the vibration motor with the loudspeaker?

I bought a Samsung galaxy s22+ from a (trustworthy) second hand store. Since I'm travelling, I let them send it to a friend. Said friend sent me the whole unboxing thing to show me if everything worked - and it did. Now the friend brought me my phone. I inserted my old sim cards and turned it on to set it up. But I ended up with a lock screen that asked for a pin code. I thought it was mine, since my sim cards were in it, but I could put in any numbers - it seems the 'OK' button doesn't do anything.

I also couldn't get it into recovery mode - it always ends up with the lock screen.

So I was recommended to let the battery drain, and try again. Just did that two times - still ending up in lock screen every time I hold the volume up and power button.

My friend didn't do anything with the settings, nor did they set a pin code.

My old phone is about to die, hence why I bought this solution.

Grateful for any ideas!
