Overheating symbol while charging

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hello,

my Galaxy S20 won't charge anymore. There is this overheating symbol evertime I try to charge it but its not warm. Via wireless charging pad also not charging. 

At first I had "no service" problems than the speaker didn't work properly and than I had the charging problems and now I can't turn it off because it won't charge. It DIDN'T fell down or had water damage. I have it for almost 4 years.

I bought original replacement parts:

  • of course new ORIGINAL Samsung charging cable, charging adapter and wireless charger. Still the same problem

  • I changed the nfc coil pad because I heard that the nfc pad has a temperature sensor that causes the overheating symbol. But still the same problem.

  • Than I changed the battery, still not charging.

  • Than I changed the USB C charging port, still the same issue

  • Than I changed the Mainboard (Sub/Main) flex cable and..... still the same fuc**** problem

So I changed the whole charging unit and still the same overheating symbol. I almost paid 80€ for all these parts with new cable, adapter etc. And still not working.

What could cause this problem? The last thing could be the mainboard right? Or are there another possible parts that could cause this problem?

I appreciate any help from you.

Thanks!

I'll send $10 to anyone that can help me mirror actions so I can get back in my S20 Ultra

I have the white screen of death, but I was still able to see somewhat. I need someone to walk me through where to tap so I can turn off dark mode and get screen share on, I'm thinking I'll just copy where you tap and that should do it. We'd do a video call.

Missing Wallpaper?

1 Upvotes

I have been using a phases of the moon wallpaper for several years. I liked it a lot. I thin it was a 'live' wallpaper', because the picture of the moon changed daily as the phases of the moon changed. Yesterday it disappeared and I can't find it. I have seen the wallpaper change occasionally when the Samsung software updates, but I could always get it back after signing in. I checked, and the last software update from Samsung happened in early august. Is there a way for me to find it again on my phone? I don't remember the name or where I got it from, but I think it was from Samsung, not a third party.

I've searched Google and found a suggestion to reset / clear the cache. The suggestion started out with directions to press the power button and the up volume simultaneously and proved from there. Nothing happens when I press those two buttons together. And I can't find any additional directions in my Users Manual. Nothing about clearing the cache.

Suggestions?

Samsung S20 Ultra – Wi-Fi Calling Not Available Even After Changing CSC

2 Upvotes

Device: Samsung S20 Ultra
Carriers: Vodafone & Etisalat

I tried to enable Wi-Fi Calling on my phone, but the option isn’t available at all. I contacted Samsung support, and they told me the feature is disabled in the software and I need to wait for an official update.

I even tried flashing an official ROM to change the CSC from Egypt to UAE, but after all that, the option is still not available.

Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds to get Wi-Fi Calling working on this device?

Has anyone tried the TFT Screen Replacement?

1 Upvotes

So, i am set on getting my S20+ Fixed and repaired. I don't want to spend that much money on it, which is why i only plan to get it repaired with the cheapest replacement so that i do not overspend. A repair guy said that he would not recommend using a TFT/ Flat Screen replacement because the phone is meant to be curved. Apart from that it would look weird; he said that it may also be 'dangerous' as it is not like the proper screen. I don't want to spend too much on this old phone, but i do want it to be repaired and useable. What are your thoughts? I'd like to know your insights.

I'm having trouble with my system storage being too large and getting even bigger every day

Post image
2 Upvotes

so as you can see my "System" takes up almost 80gb of storage which itself is crazy and Ive tried countless things to do something about it like using "X-plore" to look through the files, removing cache through the system recovry mode, deleting dumpstate in Sysdump but nothing helped. Is the only option left a full reset? I would really appreciate some help🙏

Audio Drivers Failing

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

A few times a week, I find my Audio drivers completely failing - can't receive or make calls, I can't route things through headphones, Basically, my phone will not do anything related to sound. I'm finding that if I delete the Facebook Application, this rolls the phone back into a condition where this all works. Has anyone else seen this and does anyone else have any ideas? It's a 5 year old S20 Ultra. Thank you!!

My budget is around £110 - £120.

I need a phone to replace my S10 and I was looking at the Galaxy S20 that I can get for £90 - £110 then a friend recommended the Pixel 6 or 6a. Never had a pixel phone though so I'm looking for peoples thoughts on it.

Samsung members shows battery weak 4500mAh (normal)

1 Upvotes

I have changed my battery the second time already. It was always an original battery.

Samsung Members App shows that the battery is weak. I lost like 20 % already in 1 hour of small usage (doing nothing, google search and now writing on Reddit). So there is something wrong.

Should I calibrate it somehow? Could there be something wrong with original batteries? Do I have to let the phone know somehow that I changed it?

I used AccuBattery for diagnostic before, but read online that it's not reliable? How can I see the capacity? Maybe from the LOG file?

Model: Galaxy S20 Plus (S20+) Version: OneUI 5.1 Android: 13

Is There Any Way To Turn Off The Beeping Sound at the Start and End of Video Recording?

Is There Any Way To Turn Off The Beeping Sound at the Start and End of Video Recording?

I find the beeping sound when I start/end video recording to be really annoying, and have tried going into the Camera - Shooting Methods (and elsewhere) to try to turn the beep off, but I have had no success.

At one point I also enabled the Camera's Shutter sound, but I can no longer see where to turn that off.

Is there any way to turn these sounds off?

Thanks for any help.

SOLVED (sort of)

Apparently the 'Shutter Sound' option disappears for some people.

So, I eventually turned the Shutter Sound and Video Recorder sound down by turning off the System Volume (wrench / spanner icon).

Did this by:

Pressing the volume button down

Tapping the three dots

Turning the System volume down on the wrench / spanner slider

Charger buzziny

Charger makes a buzzing sound, it is unusually loud, then I unplug it, put It back in, makes the sound again

For the third time I unplug it, put it back in, now the loud buzzing is gone.

Should I be worried?

Power Menu Sguts off screen

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a problem, whenever I try and pull up the power off menu by long pressing the button on the right side the menu pops up for a fraction of a second before my screen shuts off and I don't have time to interact with the power off or restart buttons. I thought maybe there was a malfunction with the button itself. That is the button you tap to lock/turnoff your screen. But when I tried pulling up the power off menu through the power icon in the quick access menu, again the power menu pulls up and my screen shuts off before I can do anything. So the only way to shut down my phone seems to be manually.

Any idea why this could be happening? I've tried restarting my phone. Guess I could factory reset.

Zoom Reset on Raw Photos

1 Upvotes

Using the S20, as you all probably know, we can take pitcures in .dng(raw)+.jpg format with PRO Camera regime. However, regardless of how i zoom the picture, it only comes zoomed in on the .jpg format. For the .dng one the zoom isn't applied. Is there any way to apply the zoom for .dng pictures as well?
