I'm not exactly sure how to describe the issue as I do not know the correct terminology.
I have a Samsung Note 5. During disassembly to replace the battery, the corners of the design on the front have peeled away from the inside of the front assembly. That is, the inside of the glass panel of the front.
Before. Note the gold decal of the front screen, the gold design around the display, and especially the corners (pink) to the left and right of the speaker. This is a picture from before the battery was replaced. Looking at the left corner, the decal was already beginning to peel off. Unfortunately, it got worse. The edge indicated by the green line is the screen protector.

After the replacement of the battery:
and now also the right and bottom corners have begun to peel away from the inside of the screen:
I discovered the issue while reassembling the phone after the replacement and tried to push the decal back against the screen, but whatever made it stick to it isn't working anymore.
I would appreciate advice.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for making the back cover of my i9000 less oily?
I have been using a case for a long time partly because my galaxy back constantly gets oily from my hands, but I really want to go slim and case-free now!
EDIT: might see if i can track down some of this plasti-dip stuff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881062
i think a replacement back cover is your best bet
unless you go through the hassle of sanding it down, buffing it up, smoothing it out, painting it... Not worth it, get a new cover. loads to choose from

Thanks, looks nice!
I had the same problem with hands sweating holding was quite risky. I bought a silicon rubber cover with rough dotted surface which gives you good grip & no marks on the back plate.
Well, you can always put grip tape on it. That will solve the slippery issue and the fingerprint issue.
But it might make a hole in your pocket
I've just noticed the front layer of my One is sliding away form the body below. Imagine the top layer is the screen and speaker grilles, the middle layer the white band and the bottom the layer the body.
The top layer has twisted slightly and you can see the top two layers are not quite in line. In the bottom corner the middle layer is slightly exposed.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything to take pictures to show.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'm thinking it can only get worse.
Thanks
Take a picture in the mirror, i would definitely like to see this.
This is weird. Need to see this
Never heard of a phone doing like this

I don't know exactly what you are talking about, but the phone is held together with adhesives so I don't doubt it. please take pictures.
Sadly, I'm travelling at the moment so can't get the pics everyone is craving . As soon as I found a decent camera, I'll put something up
In for nud..... I mean pics
So I changed my band yesterday but it's a bit too chunky to fit on the charger flush. I love the strap and don't want to change it to a slimmer one - I just wondered if anyone had cracked open the charger to see what's inside. Ultimately what I want to be able to do is shave off a 22mm wedge from the top and bottom to allow the strap to fit into it - but I don't know if there's anything critical in there which might interfere with it...
Cracked mine open, y'know, for science.

Looks like I could quite happily do what I need with no issue other than making it look ugly. However, turns out that I can make the watch fit without it...so this internal image is just a bonus for those interested. Disassembly is easy.
Peel off the rubber ring from the bottom.
There are 3 tiny crosshead screws to remove. Then it's a case of inserting a thin screwdriver in between the outside and inside parts and prising it open. There are little notches which you can use to get purchase on it. That's pretty much it.

Hi,
I broke my galaxy tab s sm-t805Y screen so bought a replacement lcd+Digitizer and 3m of 3m adhesive tape from ebay to stick the lcd+digitizer to the main frame.
I heated the tape slightly after putting it on the main frame, pushed the screen down and put around 10kg of books on top for 24hrs.
After using the tablet for 15 minutes the tape slowly comes away from the screen but stays on the frame.
I replaced all the adhesive tape again just incase i messed up but its failed to stick to the back side of the screen. When i touch the tape on the main frame where it sticks to the screen it is very sticky still.
Am i missing or forgetting something?
Thanks!

I suggest using small amounts of loc-tite gel. Use a toothpick to apply small amounts only on the frame. Try just doing the corners and one point in each mid frame area. Be careful not to get any glue on flex cables and circuit board. Loc-tite will release, if needed, with the application of heat to the applied area.
Hey all, I was trying to apply some double sided tape to the bottom of my screen because it was coming a bit loose, and stupidly used metal tweezers to do so. The display turned off for a split second, but turned back on so I thought I was good.
But then, I've noticed that when I turn on the display, horizontal lines sometimes appear. I don't have a 100% repo rate; I can get rid of it by turning the display off and on again (might take a few times though).
However, the right side of my display is always brighter than the left, making a king of ugly brightness gradient on my screen.
Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this without buying a new screen? Thank you!

I should also mention that I had replaced my screen in the past, although it worked perfectly before.
Unfortunately I have to say this screen is most probably a goner. The panel on this device is more fragile than a potato chip!
I cracked mine when it fell on the carpet with cover and protecting glass on. they didnt break but the panel beneath did!
My best suggestion would be getting a new panel and asking a more professional guy to repair it.
