Opening up the case

Hi
Two days ago, i opened he case to cut the pieces at the backcover to remove display lift. Now it makes "krkkrk" everytime when i press on the silver "thing" at the right site or when i press at the back cover. The loudest point is about 8cm over he speeker and about 10 cm under the Nexus "N". I openned the case about 5 times now. Does anybody also have the problem? How to fix that?
Regards
PS: Sorry for my English, i'm tired.

Glue the pieces you chopped off back on.

Use of the Grip Sensor

Hi everyone,
i just went through the *#0*# test with my Note.
And i noticed our Note 10.1 2014 has the same good old grip sensor installed the old Note 10.1 has. It triggers when you hold your note on the left side.
I did a quick search for "grip sensor" in google play and found nothing. It seems like no app uses this great sensor build into our notes.
I think this is mainly the case since nobody even knows about it.
So i start this thread now to solve this.
Do you have suggestions on how we could use the sensor?
Can someone write an app that uses this sensor? - or integrate it in an existing app
Feel free to post suggestions and your thoughts about it

Yes, but this doesn't answer the question: What does it sense?

I have a case that covers the sides, does that make the sensor useless?

Hmm it senses the electromagnetic field of your hand perhaps?... im no expert
but it even works if you hold your hand within a 1cm range behind the note. You do not have to touch it.

Nope it works through covers and even through thick cotton.
But try it yourself by dialing *#0*#

I have to add to what one of the previous users posted. This still doesn't answer what it does. What does it trigger? What could it even be used for?

it seems like it triggers nothing... perhaps samsung knows what... but its intresting that they still have the sensor build in "without" using it.
it could be used obviously to detect if you have your device in your hands..
.
You could for example try to use it to hold your device awake while holding it... but i cant say if this works without trouble...
also you could use it as a "button" - for any function in any app.. hmm in games... you have to be creative i think xD
But finding usecases for this sensor is also the reason i started this thread. So try it out with *#0*# and feel free to post suggestions

I ve been trying to turn the screen off & on when you open & close the flip case. Found that the grip sensor dustinguishes the open case from the closed... but how to use this to trigger the screen to turn on & off, I ve no clue.... any help d be appreciated.

It is on every samdung tablet

actually the two lines at the bottom of the device are the grip sensors.. when u cover it it will vibrate when u r testing the GripSensor.. but dunno what is the purpose of it

not only from the left side, actually it will trigger when you cover one of the lines at the bottom of the device, but dunno why they are used for

Its used to block out your hand when you are writing on S Note so you dont accidentally hit the back key with your palm.

Use of grip sensor
From everything I've read the grip sensor is to detect if the device is in a case/cover but as to what cares about case detection is another thing, perhaps Samsung's OS uses it

Maybe it's used for the On Body Detection lock for Smart Lock in Security option?

What about left handed people..?

Maybe Google's smart-lock uses it for the "on body recongition" because when I set my phone on the table it stays locked and when I slap my hand on the geip sensor (where the battery is) it unlocks.

Grip sensor in my note 5(SM-N930G0) is always on.screen never turns blue when i perform the test.
and due to this reason phones battery performance is very low.
Does somebody know how to fix this.
Thank you

New display ...

I guys. few days ago I decided to repair the broken glass of my Nexus 4 from my self.
I bought the kit display + touch screen on Amazon and was clearly not the original LG component.
I have replaced the piece without problems, the display lights up, the smartphone battery is recharged, and can start using the bootloader mode and the recovery without problems.
The only problem is that it does not start and does not charge Android. It remains fixed on the boot screen for hours without shutting down.
After a quarter of an hour that the display is turned on in the boot screen begins to heat the upper part near the front camera but nothing too worrying.
DO You think might be a software problem or the problem is definitely the new display?
THANKS FOR HELP ME

Did your phone work perfectly before you broke the glass/replaced the screen? What I would suggest is try unplugging all the flex cables, antenna cable and then reconnect making sure you have reconnected everything properly.

Yes mohsinkhan35 My phone work perfectly before and after i broke the Glass but I had decided to change the glass because the cracks prevented me from properly use the touch.
I have already reassembled the Nexus 3 times with new display but no works. now I have refitted the old broken display and so I want to see if the Android system start or stuck on boot animation.

Sorry to hear! Any updates? It definitely looks like a hardware problem.

Cheers Guys. I solved the problem. It was not hardware but was a softbrick. After a dalvik wipe all work perfectly.

Nicee! Although weird that changing screen would cause that problem but glad to hear that your phone is working again

Congrats! How is the new display working? Do you see any difference in that compared to the original display?
How much did it cost you?

New device which has a dot or hole on the power button?

Not sure if its an led in the button or a deformed power button that has passed through quality control without being seen?
Am I the only one?
Thanks in advance

I think it's the latter. You should send it back for a replacement, who knows what else is wrong with it.

Really.
So the button is not completely smooth, like the volume rocker switch is?
The light is reflecting somehow at the point you see the dot. I've added a second photo, that shows light reflecting differantly.
I thought at first it was a power led or something?
If you run your nail down the button, does it get caught in the hole or run smooth across it?
Thanks again.

I got the same thing on my phone. I think it's just because of design because your nail doesn't get caught or anything.

Thanks all
I was hoping it was by design, as I really didn't want the hassle of an exchange.
Seems all is well, thanks for your feedback.

Aaaahhh, that's the design of the button (circular pattern embossing with a center point)
Come on man..!!!!

Using your iPad, you've obviously not used other manuafacturers who push off design issues as 'by design'.
After having the device for a couple of days, I am glad I checked.

There is no "hole", the power button has a textured finish that radiates outward from the center of the button, which is why it looks like there's something in the middle of it. If you run your fingernail across the power button, you will notice that the entire button has that textured finish on it.

Verizon S7 screen changing to purple.

Anyone have this problem? And how to fix this?

This is a known problem of S7 wich lots of my friends had too. It's becouse your display is going to unpin from the motherboard for some drops for example. It's covered by warranty so don't worry
