Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: Screen Replacement for Galaxy S5 Sport (Sprint)

Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:19:33 -0700

I need to replace the screen on my Galaxy S5 Sport from Sprint. Do you have any special tear down instruction for this phone? I ask because the display cable is not found in the back of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: S5 green/yellow-ish flickering screen at low brightness

S5 green/yellow-ish flickering screen at low brightness

Hi there! I’ve been experiencing some issues with my Samsung S5 screen recently. Basically, when I turn brightness down very low, around 7/8ths of the screen shows this greenish flicker. I can still see what’s on the screen but it just has a rapid green flicker superimposed. It’s not an issue when I have normal brightness set. Furthermore, when I press the lock button to lock the phone, the screen also flickers green before it goes black. Hopefully this is enough detail to help identify the issue. P.S. I am yet to update to Marshmallow. And the phone is relatively well looked after– barely dropped etc since I got it 1 year ago.

I just wanna know if i ignore this problem and use it at normal brightness, will the problem progress??

Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: I have photos in the phone. It tells me they are saved.

I have photos on the phone. It tells me they are saved. I looked into google drive and cannot find them. Well I can find some photos but I cannot find the latest ones (which would indicate to me that that was the place where photos are being saved)

Where exactly are photos saved?

Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: Refuses To Charge and Dies Quickly

Sat, 09 Mar 2019 17:57:17 -0700

Hey! I have had this phone for almost a year, my ex gave it to me and I'm not sure how long he had it. Anyways, it was working fine but one day I tried to charge it after it had died, but whenever the charger plugs in, it shows a picture of a battery and a little red light appears, it didn't do that this time. So, I tried to hold down the power button and the screen would say “Samsung Galaxy S5”, well, it did that but then it instantly shut off. I left it alone for a while, occassionally taking the battery out, and it finally worked. Well, i havent had any problems from it since, but i went to charge it today and the charger wouldnt work. It gave me an alert, saying to open my galaxy apps app to allow the sharing charge to just go to my phone instead of the other device. That was absolute greek tonight, especially since it was my normal charger plugged into a normal extension cord. My phone would vibrate as if it were charging but it wouldnt do anything. It would vibrate and then stop constantly. It would die and the image of the battery would appear then disappear over and over. Not even the little red light would show and it wouldnt tell me what my phone was at already. But once i turned it on, it would tell me it was at 12% and then i would search around to see what was wrong and it would die really quickly. My phone wont even charge now and i dont know what to do. I really dont want to have my phone completely screwed over.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: I can not see my screen turn on at all.

I received a text notification and went to turn on the screen. At first there were just mutli colored dots all over the screen. Now it is just black. Tried taking off the battery and restarting. It isn't overheating either. I can hear notifications and when I plug in to charge I see my blue indicator light blinking but nothing with show up on the screen.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: Where are the water damage indicators?

Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:20:18 -0700

Okay, this is a question for the S5 Sport, though the regular S5 and S5 Active (non-Sprint rugged S5) apply too.

I recently bought one of each model and I'm trying to find the water damage indicators. Obviously, there's one on the battery. Another one is on the back cover. Are there any in the actual phone? I'd hate to go past that adhesive'd display, but I'd brave it to test for water damage.

There's also the possibility of the phone getting water damage when I'm using it, and I want to know what stickers to replace to claim warranty service >:-D.

samsung galaxy s5 headphone works for music/ video but not on phone call. I have tried using standard issued headphones as well as other brands. Not sure what caused this as there is no settings in sound or settings.
