Samsung Galaxy S5 Active: How does one replace the charge port cover?

Tue, 18 Feb 2020 16:10:32 -0700

I would like to know how to replace the micro USB charge port cover. I am interested in using a wireless charging adapter. The type that fits into the micro USB port. This style of adaptor however interferes with the charge port cover. If I can remove the cover without damaging it this style of wireless charging adapter is reasonable.

I (and many others) would like to have a repair guide for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active G870A for AT&T. There are no teardowns that I can find anywhere. I need to replace the USB Charging Port for this device and I don't believe the process is the same for the other model Galaxy S5 G900A. Your help and consideration would be much appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Active: Constant power cycling and Reboot

Sun, 19 Aug 2018 00:36:43 -0700

I have customers Samsung S5 Active that every min would boot loop. After 24 hours I got it to update and did 4 system restores. I used Samsung Kies and Smart switch to try and repair and nothing. It has a brand new battery in it and no damage to the phone. I have noticed tho that if its plugged into a computer it does not restart, Unplugged and plugged into a charger on the wall it restarts. Any thoughts or ideas apart from wrapping it in C4 and watching it explode
