Phone dies at 43% and back glass is lifting. Swollen battery? Should I use my warranty?

Phone dies at 43% and back glass is lifting. Swollen battery? Should I use my warranty?

Hi everyone,

​I need some advice regarding my S24 Ultra. I bought it used about 3 months ago, but it still has 1 year of warranty left.

​Lately, the battery life has been absolutely terrible. Today, the phone was completely dead, so I plugged it in to charge. After just 5 minutes, it showed 43%. I found that really weird, but I unplugged it and used it for a few minutes. Suddenly, the phone completely shut down due to a "low battery", even though it still showed around 43%.

​The most concerning part: I just noticed that the back glass panel is starting to lift up slightly.

​Is this definitely a swollen battery causing these massive percentage drops? Should I stop charging it and take it directly to a Samsung service center to claim the warranty?

​Thanks in advance for any help!

S24 Ultra not reading SIM card, but it works perfectly on my old S8. Any fixes?

Hey everyone,

​I’m having a frustrating issue with my Galaxy S24 Ultra. It suddenly stopped detecting my SIM card and keeps showing the "No SIM" / "No Service" icon.

​Here is the twist: I tested the exact same SIM card on my old Galaxy S8, and it works perfectly fine there, catches signal immediately, and calls/data work. So the SIM card itself is definitely active and not dead.

​Here is what I’ve already tried on the S24 Ultra:

​Restarted the phone multiple times.

​Toggled Airplane Mode on and off.

​Cleaned the SIM card gold contacts gently.

​Checked the SIM tray and tried putting the card in both SIM 1 and SIM 2 slots (front and back of the tray).

​Checked "SIM Manager" in the settings, but it doesn’t even register that a physical SIM is inserted.

​The SIM card is a few years old, so I'm wondering: could it be a compatibility/voltage issue with the S24 Ultra's modern 5G modem, or is my phone's internal SIM reader fried?

​Has anyone faced something similar on One UI 8.5 / S24 Ultra? Any advice before I take it to a repair center?

​Thanks in advance for the help!

​TL;DR: Galaxy S24 Ultra shows "No SIM". The same SIM works perfectly on a Galaxy S8. Already tried basic troubleshooting (cleaning, rebooting, switching slots) but nothing works.

Help finding "Michael Jackson: The Experience" PS3 DLC for EUR region (BLES) PKGi only has USA.

Hey everyone,

​I need some help finding the DLCs for Michael Jackson: The Experience on PS3, specifically for the European region (EUR / BLES).

​I checked PKGi on my console, but it only shows the USA versions (BLUS30697 / NPUB30778). Since my game base is the European version, the US DLCs won't work.

​Does anyone know a safe site, database, or archive where I can find the EUR .pkg and .rap files for this specific game?

​If direct links aren't allowed here, please feel free to PM/DM me. Thanks in advance!

Battery

Is it normal that when you're on a WhatsApp call for 2 hours and 4 minutes, my battery consumed 46%?

That may be a stupid question, but I think after the One UI 8.5 update, the battery lasts less."

Problem with one ui 8.5

Since I upgraded to UI 8.5, I've been having problems with Lockstar, my watch changes color by itself, and at a moment the phone started to crash, I had to make a forced stop to reuse the phone.

Overclock on hadesROM v3.0 (Android 10) - Which kernel to use?

Hi everyone,

​I'm running hadesROM v3.0 (Android 10) on my Galaxy S8 (Exynos 8895). I'm trying to overclock the CPU, but the default hadesKernel doesn't seem to support it (frequencies are locked in SmartPack/MTweaks).

​I looked for MoRoKernel, but the latest AIO versions seem to be only for the S7 (8890).

​Is there a specific version of MoRoKernel for the S8 on Android 10 that supports OC?

​If not, is there any other reliable kernel for this ROM that allows overclocking?

Pls help me
