Could someone tell me exactly how many antennas is in an infuse?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
One that I know of, located near the charging port.
2 according to what I just googled. Cell at the bottom and a smaller Bluetooth/WiFi on the left.
I mean antennas for cell signal, I know it either has 3 or 4 I just don't know which one

Well. I got an extended battery from Verizon and my cell reception seems much worse. Is it possible that the batt. Can cause this?

Make sure the case is on tight.
Im sure it could, the battery cover has the LTE, evdo, and gps antenna built in it as well. Could be an issue with the way your cover was built. The antenna for 1x voice is by the rubber plug below the kickstand (not in the battery cover).

Does anyone elsr have trouble with reception when around trees i do it can be the smallest tree ever and bam no signal. If i ever get lost in a forest im screwed. And this is with all my tmobile phones so its not a rom issue.

I don't. My service works fine around trees.

Also not a problem for me.
Perhaps you should experiment with different modems

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol
bahaha.... trees. I literally LOLed.
Thats really strange. And surprisingly I have never had that issue.
I would agree with quietly and try different modems again.
Have you gone to the T-Mobile site and checked your coverage area?
Yes i almost always have full bars in my area its when i go by any forest perserve big or small i can watch my signal drop to nothing. This is only noticed when i am talking on phone
Also this has even been an issue with any phone I use on tmobile even the non smart phones

I currently have a white Verizon Galaxy S3 and I like the look of the AT&T Red one better. I'd rather not switch carriers over a color choice of a cell phone. Is it possible to do a board swap and would the Verizon board work perfectly in the new AT&T phone exterior?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
If your referring to the m/o board that would be pretty hard. You could just swap the glass panel. It'll fit either way
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Normally swapping the motherboard is fairly easy. I havent taken apart a Galaxy S3 yet. Is it easy just to swap the glass panel part and is it much simpler to just do that?

Lol no. That involves breaking the glass if memory serves me right. Replacing the mother board should be much easier. I do not see why it wouldn't work. Try and find out.

First I'll have to acquire some broken test devices but people think they're holding gold when they have a destroyed device. It's troublesome
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
What? Why would you have to break the panel? Your memory must be wrong sorry
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm just wondering if the board swap would be possible.. I do have a use for the AT&T phone afterward. So the board swap would be optimal if possible.

99% chance it'll work,

Thanks. If I ever try it and get successful results I'll make sure to update this thread. The only hard part is finding a cheap red phone to test.

Have you considered one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Scree...81&sr=8-5&keywords=gs3+screen+protector+color
Not the same, but perhaps an option.

Those look tacky to me. Thanks though. This seems like a fun project to me. I just need to find a reasonable costing phone lol

The s3 is easy to take apart. I think this is a pop and swap device. Would be cost and time effective to get a red screen and a back cover and swap your internals into it.

You'll also need one of these http://www.harborfreight.com/33-piece-precision-screwdriver-set-93916.html
Those little screws are a mother****er. Be aware of the screws that blend in too.

Oh.. I've got one of those. I work at a Verizon store. Haha, I've learned that this is a three part screen. Is it challenging to separate the digitizer from the glass? If so I'll just get a combo.
Sent from my SCH-I535
I didn't think it was but after seeing this, I don't think I'd want to do it. I'd do it if I had to but not for a color swap I don't think...

Could buy the screen the color you want then sell your old one. Hell, I might be interested.

This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foxn0U9zsRA&feature=youtube_gdata_player makes it look pretty simple actually. He seemed to remove the glass and the LCD from the frame with ease.

As the title says my phone isn't charging properly. I know it's not the charger itself because my gf uses it also and it works just fine for her. I've bought a new battery and it hasn't made a difference either. My phone this morning after 4 hrs in the charger has only gone up 5% this problem has been going on for weeks now. Im hoping someone here has an idea what's wrong.

Last thing it could be is a hardware issue, either a bad connection or somethings wrong with the charging connection to the battery.
Could also be a bad USB cable, if it's going bad it won't hold a good connection very well.
If you're out of warranty then your best option would be to buy a external battery charger and an extra battery, not ideal, but at least you'll have a way to use your phone.

I know, so it isn't a problem with your battery or charger or USB cable, then it has to be your phone, but it's impossible to know for sure what's wrong. You might be able to fix it by replacing the charging port, or it could be a bad connection from the charging port to the motherboard, or it might be a bad connection from your battery to your charging prongs...
Could be a number of issues. If you're under warranty still then send it in to Samsung, if you're out of warranty then search around and see if you can get it repaired for a reasonable price, swapping batteries will also work for the meantime.

I've only had my phone for a few months so it should still be under warranty. Do I call up Verizon and they take care of it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes, they will try to troubleshoot it but by the looks of it you've tried everything. They will just send you another phone. As long as your current one doesn't have any physical damage or water damage

Exactly, if Verizon won't help you then Samsung will. Try Verizon first, you definitely deserve a new phone.

Thanks you guys. I will definitely try Verizon. One more quick question. Will they send me a new phone first before I send mine in?

Anyone know what the radio specs are and if it's 1x1x1 or 2x2x2 offhand. Time to overhaul the aps at home and want to see if it makes sense to spend the extra for the 2x2x2 or 3x3x3 APS that I was looking at.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Are you asking about wifi? If so it's single antenna for the AC radio anyway. 433Mbps max with AC1200 and AC1600 router.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes was talking WiFi. Thanks. Keeping my router but looking into some moderately priced 3x3x3 gear so wanted to see if this could take advantage.
