today I desided to buy a Note 4 again..
when i would insert the battery i noticed that the BLACK area where the battery goes, there was som left over adhesive, not much but it was there..
I decided to return it and got a new one.. then again when putting in the battery now on the black edge on the left side in the battery area there was a small amount of adhesive...
I never experienced this on a samsung product before...
have any of you seen this before.. ??
the Note 4 works fine as i can tell..
On my note under battery there is a samsung sticker with emei, model number etc and another color changing water sensitive indicator.

Wait so your battery is more fat?

Replace battery. They normally swell up like that at the end of their life, but given you've only had a it a few mths maximum, I'd be asking Samsung for a replacement (if you're using a genuine Samsung batter).
Hey, I know this is by far the most stupid thing I've done in a long time, so please don't point it out to me, but I traded my Galaxy S4 + cash for a G2. I checked out the phone for a bit to make sure it was fine, and so far it only has 2 issues, one of which I can fix.
1. The phone is an in-store demo unit, it keeps playing through Verizon's demo software, which I don't mind, I can fix that.
2. The phone's battery is dying, as in it's max charge yesterday was 37%, today it's 35%.
Now, I hate to ask this because I feel like a total derp, but is there anything I can do about the battery (I know it's internal, but is it able to be repaired)?
It isn't molded plastic so you can definitely change it. Haven't seen any threads on it yet though. As for point 1, try to get into factory reset mode and do that.

From what I heard and read the back cover is simple to remove. Just put your nails into the small gap between the silver band and the cover and move it along the edges, I'm sure the cover should come off. The battery should be accessible, not sure if you need to unglue it or solder it off, which shouldn't be a difficult task. Then search eBay for a battery replacement which shouldn't be hard to find just search for the Korean model of the LG G2.

The Korean model has a 2600mah battery, while the other models have 3000mah. It's not the same battery, it might not even fit.
Do you have insurance on the line? If so just have it replaced.
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
no insurance
I don't have insurance, but if I did, would it even cover my phone that has been swapped?
Edit: Also I contacted the seller and he said that the phone "requires" a special charger, which I know it says it's not the correct charger when I plug it in, but I don't think it "requires" the LG one, but I could be wrong I suppose, I am using a 2.0A charger from my old Note II
Have you tried to just do a factory reset on it to solve the issues??

Is 'go to the police' an option?

Why would a store be selling off a demo phone of the latest model. Sounds very fishy.

Need help from other S5 Users:
I own my S5 since last friday and the gap between the screen and the top frame seems to be a little wide. I would like to know from other S5 Users: Is your top gap also gathering so much dust in those few days since release?
Some Note 3's also suffer from this, and people got it replaced due to defect or just lived with it, my Note 3 didn't have it. But I have seen some with very big gaps. Manufacturing error It seems.
I had that on the s4 and now on the s5 but it's not noticeable ,

I got a replacement from my provider. The gap seems to be less wide.
But in general: My Speaker is eating fluffs from my jeansbag.. I am not really excited about the S5 in comparison to the S3.

There are strong adhesive between screen and frame.The gap get so much dust due to the adhesive. It is not normal to appear such gap. You'd better change a new one from the Samsung store.
I just knocked down my Note 4 battery and there is a little crack on the top as in pic. Is that safe to use at all?

i wont risk it , a low cost battery to spoil your note
I thought this might be useful for anyone who wants to trade their phone in the future using the jump program.
I am sure many of you don't realize but the batteries actually have a moisture indicator on the top of the battery by the pins (it's a white circle).
T-Mobile will not honor a jump if this sensor is tripped (the indicator turns pink/purple). I was lucky and the guy I was dealing with told me if I had another battery that didn't have the sensor tripped I could still trade it in. Luckily I got the extra battery when I bought my v10.
I am pretty sure normally they would not allow this and I just got a nice employee but for those of you looking to jump in the future make sure the circle is white to avoid any problems in the future.
The funny thing about this situation is the phone had never been exposed to water and I actually think it got triggered when I had the spare battery in my back packet and somehow got water on the back of my pants. This makes me wonder if that's why the v20 charge kit includes a protective case for the spare battery.

I went from the v10 to v20, just noticed the v20 has the same indicator. Figured I'd let people know.

its litmus paper 99% of phones have them.. theres more then that one on the phone tho, its just the att rep being incompetent.
The indicator is not proof of damage but a indicator for a rep to look further for damages especially liquid.
In my stores, we would open your phone infront of you and show you the corosion and damage from liquid if any, if not we would continue as normal.
Look above your SD card slot, theres one on the back housing near the bottom right of camera, and i dont doubt there is another 2 more of them on the inside near charger and near the top also... If i disasemble my phone soon ill take photos of the other areas they have them..
but yeah... Its supposed to just be a tool for the rep to know to look harder, the battery can change colors from a sweaty hand touching that spot, its just litmus paper.

Interesting information thanks! I am on T-Mobile.
When I jumped they only looked at the battery one I suppose they didn't want to spend time to look at the other indicators and the battery was the easiest one to look for. Hell my rep didn't even turn on the phone.
I find it pretty silly they come to the conclusion it's been wet based on these papers, theorically humidity could change the color right?

My indicator on my galaxy note 4 under the battery changed color and I never got that phone wet. Very humid in Houston, TX though especially in a pocket.

Yup. Humidity trips them most of the time. Even having the phone in the bathroom while taking a really hot shower (steam) can do it.
Thanks for the information ill have to be a little bit more careful with my phone now since i am having some minor issues with it.
