How do you even install this ? Just wondering for future reference hopefully not anytime soon...... But does the thing that hold it in place just gets pushed in there ? how will you take the old one out ? Or do you have to take the whole phone apart, Making the phone not being waterproof anymore which basically will be pointless since that is the whole point of this lol

Well no, but what other choice do you have? The bright side is it's only $5. I mean, the only other option is to get a wireless charging sticker (which breaks the water resistance anyway), or a real samsung wireless charing back cover. Both are more expensive than just replacing this flap every 2-3 months. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung if this is truly the case though.

Just actually took a look at the phone and you are correct so not that bad kind of annoying but at least is an easy fix let me save the link for the port cover just in case I need it in the future lol

I hope I won't need to replace it though. A $700 phone shouldn't need the user to replace a part every 2-3 months. The GS1 (att captivate) had a sliding door that never broke in 3 years of use. Maybe samsung should have done that.

Just to let you know, tmobile would have replaced it, but don't go that route. They send refurbished phones that are more than likely to have more problems than your original phone.

How many people are having this issue? Sure hope mine isn't problematic like this. I'm getting an OtterBox Preserver case so i might just remove that cover to make it easier to plug in the charger plug. but then again, if the case were to ever fail, it would be nice to have that extra protection guarding the device.

So far, there's been 2 reports. One in this thread (obviously), and one in the accessories section. I've only had mine for about a month, so I guess that's why my flap is still fine. Hopefully it will stay fine though.
I found this for you guys. I'm definitely downloading this YouTube video for later use. I always seem to find youtube videos that have been removed when i actually need them lol

So to make a long story short my note fell out of my pocket today while I was helping out at a fundraiser car wash. No major damage done but just a small nick and scratch on the top right corner on the screen and outside. The actual functionality of the phone is fine and I can probably live with it but this small damage is going to eat away at me. So I want to know if I call att and complain about something wrong with my phone will they replace it? I have ensquared insurance and I don't want to use my $75 deductible yet.
And I've had the phone for over 30 days too

That's what sucks, I had the portfolio case on it because it was a gift, but I've been holding out for an otterbox case because I have a $50 coupon.
I think I might take the plunge because with my Atrix I had a legit issue that couldn't always duplicate but the speaker part was dented plus was unlocked and I was able to swap phones

First of all I was heading up the car wash to raise money for kids to go to a summer camp. I actually brought my atrix with me to swap sim cards but I left it in my car parked across the street. While running across the street it feel out of my pocket. Big picture I am grateful that no major damage was done but also that we all should be mindful how big this phone is and how easy it is to forget. Either way I've decided to just ride it out because any case that wraps around the phone will cover it up.

I cracked my screen I believe by sittiing on on it while in my back pocket. I called Samsung and they would replace the screen fro $197.00. Since I have a Square Trade warranty, I caledl and they could not fix the display so they gave me the full cost to replace it minus $49 decuctible.

Yesterday I dropped my phone off my nightstand with the kickstand extended and it fell and collapsed into the phone and it would open and close normally but its wobbly and when i lay my phone on the kickstand (to charge it at night) it will fall back a little bit and eventually collapse on itself. Does anyone know how to fix this?

If your screen is lifted, and they can determine that it wasn't because of accidental damage, they'll either fix it or replace it.
Hi guys,
I bought a SGS4 the other day for $300 used. It came in the mail and it doesn't seem to work. I want to take it to Verizon to get a warranty replacement, but I'm afraid whatever is wrong with it was caused by the previous owner doing something that voided the warranty. Worst case scenario is I have to pay another $99 and use Asurion to replace it which I'm totally willing to do. Basically it turns on, but the LCD doesn't, only the backlight. It also gets super hot super quickly. I doubt it's bricked, I'm guessing water damage or the LCD went bad.
Take out the battery, put it back in, hold down volume and power, what happens?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
If you think it's water damage check the sensors. And did you buy it with the impression that it was working 100% and nothing was wrong with it?

This is gonna be a very profitable accessory I can tell already. People stuck with low internal storage capacities need a need a compact product like this to meet their storage needs. The design is quite suave as well which is a plus. I'll look out for it, hopefully the price point is acceptable.
I backed this as well, looking forward to receiving it. Should be perfect for heavy media use.

Should have been one whole piece of rubber or whatever they used for the hinge.
The issue (for me at least) was the rubber peeled off the plastic cover. I used a drop of super glue to reattach it. It's been 7 months and I've had zero problems with it. I think the phone looks butt ugly without the cover, so I'm doing everything I can to keep it.

Those are so expensive, becouse they are first one in the market. As soon as Samsung release all colors I think the price should drop to 15-20$ and i hope that some 3rd party bands show up in ebay.
