Hey everyone, some of you may already know my skyrocket bricked just over 2 weeks ago...
I just wanted to let you guys know that i sent it in and it was repaired.
They marked the repair a a new PCB. anyone know what that means?
Not entirely sure, but here's what I'm suspecting.
You bricked your CPU, right? So instead of fixing that CPU, they just put a new one in. Hence, "new PCB".

Has it been modified? Rooted?

There is a remote possibility of something internally frying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Other possibilities... defective battery. Try another battery to see if you can boot normally or into recovery. Or, perhaps battery is too low to boot... have you tried to boot via usb power?
I tried putting my battery in her phone nothing. Her phone is rooted but its stock. She been using her phone since January with no problem. I tried USB charger also. And I also tried using jig but nothing I though maybe the jig was defective but I plug in my phone and it work

Sure it is, they go by the imei number and the purchase date.
Sounds like it could be bricked. Hopefully that's not the case but sounds like it!

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.

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.

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?

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna test this phone out for a day or so just to be sure there isn't something wrong with it. If there is I'm gonna make a call to audition and tell them i don't want a refurbished one...
