Part of the backplate of my phone is coming off?

[bingbongbangbung]

After I got my screen replaced at Bye N Cell for my Samsung Galaxy A34, I noticed the right side of the backplate (opposite of camera lens) is slightly loose. I do push against it to put it back into place, but it always gets loose after anyways. I suspect they didn't re-assemble my phone properly, and I don't intend on paying them just to do that correctly. My phone uses Super AMOLED so it's very thin and fragile; thus, I don't wanna apply too much pressure to "fix" this minor inconvenience.

The backplate is glued on so maybe they did not apply enough glue. If it is original then you can loosen the adhesive with heat and a plastic tool to pry it gently off before you apply new glue and put it together again. There are videos on youtube for this.

I only take my phone to Samsung store. Hood luck to you.

Well the A34 isn't supported by Samsung in North America, so they can't do shit anyways

My phone started to warp like a banana. The girl at the shop took it apart and my battery was expanding. She said I was lucky it didn't catch on fire.

My advice is to pay no more than $125 for a phone. (with no insurance)

If something goes wrong, chuck it in the garbage and get a new one.

If you only pay that much for a phone, then expect it to be garbage; you get what you pay for

For laptops, paying anything less than 800 dollars at full MSRP just isn't worth it (doesn't apply to refurbished and used models)

Now obviously I'm not saying that paying for flagship devices is ideal, but at the same time paying for low end can cost just as much as flagship over time due to having to replace them constantly (unless you rarely use it and/or don't care if it gets shit); mid range is the best in terms of price to performance and overall longevity

I've had very expensive phones, and cheap ones. They all do the same thing and last the same time.
On my Galaxy my battery crapped out. They wanted $200 to replace it, and wanted me to leave it with them for 2 days.
I chucked in in the garbage and bought a Motorola for about $120
It was the best phone I ever had.

No they don't, flagship phones often have features and specs that mid range and low end phones don't have; sure, mid range phones eventually get them, but low end phones either never get them or get a heavily watered down version much later on. Like NFC for phones was around since like the late 90s and it's only like the early 10s that they finally showed up in low end models lol.

Well for my phone, Samsung didn't even try to fix it because my model isn't supported in North America, but I heard that they rip people off for the repair service much like Apple does. I had to pay 200 CAD (roughly 150 USD) to fix my screen, but it only took an hour and since it was Super AMOLED and they had to get the screen overseas, I'd say the repair cost was mostly justified. But let's be honest here, if my phone had a LCD or a regular OLED, and they charged me 200 dollars, then I'd outright refuse; it's only justifiable since AMOLED and Super AMOLED are crazy expensive.

I actually was about to go for Motorola phone, specifically 5G Stylus 2022, but there were many reviews claiming it would slow down quickly, and knowing that Lenovo bought them out and my bad experiences with them, I refused. If Lenovo hadn't bought out Motorola, I would've decided to get that phone; Lenovo used to be one of the best tech companies, but they've since fell from grace for years now.

Why would you throw them in the garbage when you could've just sold them on websites like eBay or Craigslist? At least you would've gotten some of the money back

I replied to maybe help. That was a huge mistake and it will never happen again.
