I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra that I'm considering for a midframe replacement. Is a heatless display opener safe to use to separate the display panel from the frame? I've opened a fair few iPhones before but I've only ever done midframe + display replacements for androids. This is my personal device so I'm just trying to save money. I feel like I'll probably end up taking a loss if I try to sell the panel and frame, as I'd rather not replace those with aftermarket parts, so I'd just like to ditch the current frame itself.

I just brought the shield up as a point of reference to describe what I'm referring to. However, in the videos and posts I've seen for the chip I have, they all seem to have some portion of solder touching the shield.

Absolutely, I just forgot to mention it. I'm using Chipquik flux. Last attempt I made before having to wrap things up for the time being, I believe I had my iron set to 400° Celsius.

The metal shield maybe? There's probably a word for it but I mean the bit the white arrow is pointing. The board in this picture isn't the same board, but I'm not able to grab a picture of the board in question at the moment. I can reply with a picture of the board & solder once I'm able to grab one. I am using flux, I just hadn't mentioned it. I did try heating it up with a hot air gun since I have a two in one rework station but that didn't seem to do the trick. I'm guessing I wasn't applying sufficient heat for long enough.

Solder won't melt (self.switchpirates)
 

I'm trying to solder on the flex cable for a PicoFly. I've added some solder to the bottom two points that are touching the metal surrounding the CPU. However, I seem to only be making a bigger and bigger ball of solder when trying to melt it. I've upped the temperature on my iron but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. What am I doing wrong?

TIL. I had no idea they offered a lifetime sub and didn't think a service like theirs would offer that type of thing.

That's what I thought but just wanted to be sure. I've not used it before so I wasn't sure if it were similar to a seedbox.

They were also a thought. How exactly does RD work? Do they simply provide access to premium downloads through a given file host or do they store the files?

1fichier experience (self.piracy)

Anyone here subscribe to 1ficher who could share their experience with them? I've been considering subscribing to them for a while now. I've seen countless files that have remained available on 1fichier where other hosts had removed them. I feel like they could be my go to file host to download from when available if they're worth giving money to.

Yup, Firefox was a thought but I wasn't sure if extensions were a thing on Android. I do use FoxyProxy on my desktop so it would come in handy if it'd work on my phone too.

Perfect, thanks!

Proxy per app? (self.android)
 

Is there any way I can use a proxy on Android on a per app basis instead of system wide? Just like for some who don't want absolutely everything to be routed through a VPN, some VPNs offer the option to include/exclude applications. That's exactly what I'd like to do, just with a proxy on my phone.

If those robots were provided by Elon, they probably have more bugs than Tesla's FSD.

Why are Republicans acting like they collectively have half of a braincell? They helped a rapist who still has zero political experience after an entire term get back in office, yet they draw the line at Gaetz? 💀 I guess (not really) good on them..possibly, maybe?

MK8 on Android (self.newyuzupiracy)
 

Is there any way to get around the Mii selection screen on MK8 on the Android version of Yuzu?
