There is a "No Signal/No Service" icon (circle with line though it) and whenever I try to make a call, it shows "Out of Service Area". I tried configuring the APN, checking available network and shows No Service. Help!

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Galaxy S6 Active: Adhesive to maintain waterproofing?

Thu, 19 Dec 2019 13:35:49 -0700

Hi! I need to replace a screen on a Galaxy s6. However, I want the phone to remain waterproof for days like I keep hearing that it is now.

This would, clearly, require some sort of adhesive replacement BEHIND the digitizer; (since I basically have to remove that to replace the glass.)

So my real question here is: What adhesive should I use behind the screen? I can't believe that the abuse that adhesive is going to take - (air exposure, abnormal heat) is going to leave it as well able to resist water as it was at the factory.

So I need some sort of metal-to-metal adhesive that can be pried apart, but applied to the metal and remain waterproof.

Thanks.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Digitizer seems to be broken after battery installation

Fri, 22 Nov 2019 23:33:58 -0700

I did a battery replacement on this phone and used a hair dryer to heat it up to remove the screen. I took my time and have no damage to the screen itself but after I reconnected the screen and tested it to see if it was ok I just put it back in place without checking the touch screen. When I turned it back on I have no touch ability at all. I’m confused on why this happened and am not sure if i should pry the screen back off and check for something I did wrong. This if the first Samsung I’ve taken apart without using a new screen but the original instead any help is greatly appreciated

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Phone shut down one year ago today. It just came back on! Why?

Sat, 17 Aug 2019 10:12:42 -0700

One day, I had a sleepover with my friend. We were watching YouTube on my phone, and it suddenly shut off around %60, however I didnt realize it had THAT much charge. So, I simply plugged it up. No big deal, right? But nothing happened, so I just ended up getting a new phone. Exactly one year later, here i am watching Friend Request with my cousin and she looks over at the old phone. She picks it up, and attempts to turn it on. BAM! It turned on. She showed me, excitedly. It's cool and all, but why? How? I am SO confused! Maybe the battery came loose or something? Idk, help? (Btw, I remember the exact day bc it was two days before my birthday, and the time was about a couple hours after we ate lunch)

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Trying to install custom OS, volume control isn't working.

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 09:54:06 -0700

I am trying to install a custom os via USB and odin3. When the screen has the custom os option (volume up) or cancel (volume down), neither button responds. However the volume control works in every other place. It is just the custom os screen where I’m having problems.

I have formatted the phone and wiped the cache.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Fixing a magenta Screen

Tue, 26 Jun 2018 05:40:29 -0700

This is for a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i couldnt choose that model). Id been having some screen issues with my screen not wanting to respond off and on for sometime. But yesterday I had put my phone in my sons stroller and there was a very lil bit of seiarra mist on the bottom. I didnt realize it but when I checked the phone the charge port was dry and the liquid damage indicator hasnt changed. Well my hone was working for a few hour after. I gave my phone to my husband to hole and when i took it back and tried to unlock the screen it turned magenta. I cant see anything. I pulled battery and restarted the phone that way. Still magenta. The phone itself sees to work as it booted and indicated I had an email even tho I couldnt see anything. So I put it in rice jus to see what would happen. My husband put it together and it came on normaly (showed the samsung screen) and went magenta again. What in the world is going on and how do I fix it?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active: Doesn't charge via USB port

Wed, 23 May 2018 05:59:48 -0700

My Galaxy S6 Active is not charging by USB port and wireless charging is kinda random. Like when I put it on the wireless charger, it pause/resume 4-5 times until it finally starts charging. Also whenever it charges to 100% it keep restarting nonstop until I turn it off for about 10 min to fix the nonstop restarting.

Other functionalities working pretty good. It even holds charge really good after 2 years of heavy work.

I never dropped it and it never fell into water (even if it did, it shouldn't be an issue for an Active series phone). I also tried hard reset to see if it's a software issue but it wasn't.

Not sure what's going on with it. I was just wondering if it worth reparing it.
