Check battery cover - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Does That prompt appear on every boot or only when a sensor detects an issue?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

I've been wondering that as well. Because I'd swear mine was snapped on correctly and it still flashed that warning. It does it for the charging port cover too but only when its actually open.

I think it's on boot and every time you unplug a USB cable from what I can tell. Waiting to find a way to disable that notification and the dumb volume warning that was also on the previous Galaxy phones. I wish Samsung gave you a way to disable them, but maybe they're worried someone is going to leave it open, dunk it in a glass of water then start complaining about how it wasn't really as waterproof as promised...

Every boot ;]

If your rooted install xposed and the wanam mod and you can get rid of the volume warning among many other things that work.

Ok cool, I wasn't sure if Wanam was working with the GS5 yet. I'm on the fence about holding out for a root that doesn't trip Knox, but I might just go for it.

IMO knox really doesnt seem to matter in America. The only real reason for knox is that the international version has to be sent directly to Samsung for any warenty, repair etc. That is more or less Samsung's way of telling if its been tampered with. We would have to go to T-mobile for repair or warrenty. T-mobile doesnt really seem to care about knox as they only check for actual physical damage like water damage. Actually, if your on the Jump program they will now (with certain restrictions) replace your device even if its your own fault.

I think that you have to pay the deductable or something but it does cover a certain amount if the damage was intentional. Read the small print of the contract.

This may be of help. It's in the At&t S5 forum, but I've checked and the file is in TiBu for the SM-G900T also, although I haven't tried the instructions in the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-remove-usb-flap-cover-pop-t2808701
Update:
- I followed Option #1 in the link above.
No more 'Check battery cover' pop up.

Replacement Bezel

Does anyone know where to get a replacement bezel? I bought my phone used and it has some nicks and scratches on the bezel. I think I have a mild form of OCD and it drives me insane to see scratches on it. Also what size Torx wrench would I need to take this thing apart? All input appreciated!
The bezel, as in the piece attacked to the screen, or the plastic ring that's slightly higher around it?
The glass piece is about 40~ bucks, the plastic? I've had a quick look on the Google and found nothing, sorry dude.
I am pretty sure it is the plastic around the glass screen. Mine is loose in one of the corners and it is making me upset. I would love to know where to get a new one, but for now, I just have a case on it to make sure it all stays together
My best suggestion would be to just repaint yours for now.
Call verizon if your having audio issues hint hint...I know someone who bought a use phone and it had a few things wrong so they sent them a refurbished one,these phones have a one year manufacture warranty it doesnt matter that you got it used they dont know that.

Hmm, sounds like it would work, but I don't know if I would really want to do that... I might if a replacement bezel is out of the picture.
I know it will work,I bought a used thunder bolt it wouldnt mount to my pc called and told them about they never asked if i bought it used or anything.My friend had the same issues as yourself but i think they may have told them something else was wrong with it and they sent a refurb to them,its up to you but they just send them back and get refunded...
Hmm, the buzzing behind my music is a legitimate enough reason to ask Verizon for a new one. I might go this weekend and see if they will replace it.
You might want to call in they dont have refurbs in store most of the time they overnight them to you.

I bet if I complain about the build quality of the phone and how I'm not happy with it and maybe threaten not to come back when my contract is up they would give it to me I do still love this phone though, so if they will just replace it I will be happy.

When returning my One it booted into TWRP o_0

I had to return my first HTC One for exchange because of dead pixels. I was working with a rep at AT&T and I had to restore my phone and my phone booted into TWRP right in front of him and I know he saw. I'm so glad those guys are clueless. Just thought i'd share, if you were worried that they wont accept it back if your unlocked the bootloader you have nothing to worry about. He had no idea that it was not the way it was suppose to work. He was more curious that I gave up the S4 for the HTC One.
Now I wouldnt recommend taking a chance so just restore before you go
Most reps don't have a clue.. But come to my store and let that happen I'll over look it because I'm all for having unlocked bootloader and s-off... It's the douche bags that try and lie to me about how there phones got bricked that don't like me

I return an iPhone 4S once that was jail broke with a theme on it because the headphone port was not working. Had I know he was going to actually look in the "About" section of the phone, I never would have left the theme on it. He didn't even care, we started talking about jail break stuff etc.. etc..
I've met quite a few people in my dealings as a AT&T corporate employee over the last 14 years that are far from clueless. I had a guy promoting rooting my Galaxy S2 for a multitude of reasons right in front of my buddy who happens to be my boss, and in charge of enterprise sales, right in the AT&T store.

Honestly, I don't think most of them even care. Like when I traded in my s3 for an s4 Paranoid Android was installed and he just did a factory reset and put the phone away before it could even boot back up. Same thing happened with my Atrix, GNex, and Skyrocket these past couple years at Best Buy.
I just sent my first One back to AT&T with TWRP on it. Keeping my fingers crossed they don't notice before I get my refund. I currently have $1400 tied up in these phones since I paid full price, so I really, really, REALLY hope they don't catch it. I did flash a stock ROM and unrooted it, and sent it back powered on with a full charge so hopefully they will just take a quick glance at it and refund me my $700. My new MacBook Pro that I plan to buy this weekend is riding on it :good:

I'm 99% positive that it wasn't enabled. I think it's disabled by default and I didn't turn it on. How would that affect it though? I don't think they are gonna go over it with a fine tooth comb, they are probably just gonna inspect it for physical damage and call it a day.
Or so I hope.

It was always enabled for me by default. When it is disabled on boot it will display red letters showing that it has been tampered. Either way you should be fine, unless the employees know about HTC they won't have a clue what that means.

Well my current one is still just stock rooted, and fastboot isn't enabled. I haven't touched it which is why I'm assuming it's disabled by default. I'm really not that nervous about it, even if they catch it and try to pull some grap, I am very good at arguing. I'll get my money back.

I wouldn't worry either but I have had 3 HTC Ones and every one of them had fastboot enabled on first boot. When you try to install recovery one of the steps are to disable it so maybe that is why it was disabled. If not they will give you the info because they will reimage anyways
That would definitely explain why I had to use adb to boot into recovery the first time after installing TWRP. Man I'm rusty lol.

Really? I tried to return my HTC One X a few weeks back due to a hardware issue with the handset speaker and they wouldn't take it because it was tampered. =/ The guy even asked his supervisor if they could take it because it wasn't bricked and was in perfect working condition with the exception of the handset speaker.
On the bright side I got the One because they wouldn't replace my One X. Lol. =]

It sucks having a cracked screen, but LG has impressed me with this feature.

I didn't know this existed until I dropped me G2 a few minutes ago and the screen cracked.

Wow, I wonder if this could have anything to do with the screen issues, maybe they are doing something sneaky?

Keep holding when you see the LG logo
This gives you access to Hardware Key Control Mode
There you can access these features as well.
It also shows your IMEI number and barcode.

Its awesome that lg has created that kind of feature so they are thinking also about its customers. I still wonder where the sensor would be located
I saw this feature when I got my first G2. At that point there were no cases because it was so new. Of course I dropped it on the way to work and cracked the screen. Unfortunately I couldn't ever get the hardware to work because it killed all areas.

Psa: Do not call vzw support

Hello my fellow people,
I am warning the people who may not know what VZW does on calls. So I called support because I am having an issue with my charging port. Simply just need it replaced so I can properly charge my phone and connect it to my PC without it randomly disconnecting. So I call them and go to tier 2 to explain my problem. I do and the representative ask me to give them a quick second to see what the issue may be. I wait for about 30 seconds and to make a long story short, their diagnostic tool found my device to be rooted, so there was nothing they would do. So yes, when you call in with a problem, software or hardware, they do a diagnostic test to see if the device has been rooted. So I had to call back several times to get a representative who would not see the previous test done, and run a new one while I was unrooted. So now my account is clean but with a major headache. So XDAers, DO NOT CALL VZW FOR SUPPRT WHILE ROOTED. I WAS GOING TO BEFORE I SENT IN THE PHONE BUT THAT DOESNT WORK. UNROOT AND BE STOCK BEFORE CALLING. Hope this little story helped.
Update: Yes, they run the tool without permission from the user

Edit: I always call from another phone and make sure the phone I'm calling about is in airplane mode so there is no chance for them to connect to it just to be safe anyways.

The my Verizon app asks for root access if you have Superuser installed and requests pop up. I've seen it myself once and wondered..... If I didn't have an app to notify me, would it have given that app root access silently? I bet it does.

ISIS app that comes bloated on the N900V also asks for superuser access. It also will not run on a rooted device. I'm betting if It wasn't rooted it would also have gotten access silently as does my Verizon app.
I thought it was common knowledge that, if you're rooted, you disable data/wifi when you're calling into VZW support. They can't connect to their little spy-app if there's no internet service. I've called into support and they've tried, unsuccessfully, to connect to mine.

I don't think so, I didn't have it installed. And I have denied root before on other phones. Also I can't use the exposed module because they can check your installs on your phone.
Towel root
So I just got a new refurb from Verizon/Assurion and found something interesting. One of the first apks I installed was the CM Virus Protection and scanned my phone. My phone is not rooted stock everything. CM scanned my phone and found a suspicious system exploit however though... Towelroot! I guess reseting the phone factory and even from Assurion somehow the previous owner had root, and parts of it somehow sustained. Weird that they would send out a phone like this if a simple virus scanner picked it right up on first try. Just thought id throw that out there.
I wish I would have seen this earlier. 10 calls in for reception, normally airplane mode and I forgot, bam. "Take it to the Samsung booth in best buy they can read flash the phone".....odin ain't helping this problem. Lmao
I just disable the my verizon app on all my phones so I never have this issue.

the adb method is a disadvantage for me. sometimes I need to enable some application. I do not want to do factory reset. just to know your friend

Thats a great write up, the detail is impressive.
But pulling the battery? The S5 you used is ancient at this point, maybe wise to note the device in the post and a disclaimer that using another may yield different results.
People on here dont pay much attention to detail so just because its in the S5forum doesnt mean they will clue in lol.
That and newer sammy software/android version is much different than whats on the S5 people may get a surprise using that method on the S9 (i haven't tried it so cant be sure).

That's a good point, Force70. I added the caveat to the write-up; thanks. I've never had a phone without a removable battery, so not sure how to power off such a phone when the processor hangs, in a boot loop, etc. TWRP 3.2.1-0 requires a first boot to recovery after flashing, so Odin auto-boot to system after flash feature won't work. Buying a phone without a removable battery seems to me to be a really bad idea for various reasons. For one, I must be taken kicking and screaming to the phone store to buy a new phone as I find it such a hassle. So, I might need to replace the battery during the phone's life. A sealed-in battery appears to me like built-in obsolesence perpetrated by the manufacturer. I guess it doen't matter much for people who change phones ofen, though.
Cheers!

On the newer devices pressing and holding volume down, plus home plus power simulates a battery pull generally.
So not a total problem but battery pull was a sure thing lol
