Has anyone blown their external speaker and had to replace it? Mine is barked and sounds terrible. Haven't opened it up to know if its connection is soldered in or just a plug connection. I have my wife's old sgs4g I can use for parts if I need.

It's a ribbon cable. Super easy to replace. Here's the ifixit teardown:

Is the screen cracked but you can still see it n use it?

Correct. Its my wife's phone and she's getting an sg3 this week. I'm robbing the speaker from it, screen is cracked but fully functional, charging port is a bit loose so charging it might be an issue, but for someone with a bit of technical know- how I'm sure it could be repaired easily as well.

I cannot say what is best, only my experience with the bt that I purchased 2 months ago.
Blueant T1
It has great volume regardless of source and I am thoroughly happy with it. It is advertised as being rugged and this was confirmed when apparently my cat got a hold of it and played with it until it ended up at the other end of the house. Although it now has teeth marks in the plastic.
I have two H series Motorola Bluetooth ear pieces. They work great, with this phone. Don't work as good as new as they get used by four people.

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops
Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

What charger are you using? I think this is revered to as a "grounding issue"
I notice it when using really powerful chargers
1a and lower don't seem to cause the issue

Listen to the cube when it's plugged in.. If you hear a high pitched whine you need to have at$t replace your charger and possibly your battery.. At the least your charger, battery is just a hey give me something.

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

Well ever since I got my HTC Evo Shift used I've had the keyboard slide very hard and my friends slides smoothly but mine doesn't, any ideas on how to get this to work smoother? Thanks!
Usually from what I've found it's just a matter of them wearing in.
Or being dropped, I got a doubleshot that's going in the mail today that just came back from HTC and its omg so smooth. Mine on the other hand has been dropped about 80 times, and is tough as nails.

Another thought is...perhaps you still have the protective stickers on the unit?
sometimes those can cause drag.

Mine had more issues closing once I put on an Otterbox, wore in after a while, I don't get the scratching noise though.

My shift has those same scratches on the back. It slides smoothly now. Dunno what happened. My dads phone gets hard to slide when grains of sand get in there.
Edit: neither of our phones have ever had cases.

I use the sedio active htc evo shift case..best and most gorgeous case ever. Slick, and form fit..better protection than the otterbox imo. no offense *g
Comes in multiple colors. I went for the sapphire blue..it matches the awesome color the shift is; it is one of the things I had appreciated about the shift when I purchased it.
Worth looking into for any efficient auto out there. !

Has anyone used the fiscon, parrot, or other install kits out there? I saw some on bestbuy.com but don't really know what I'm looking at. I am looking to install this on my factory radio in an 07 gti. Anyone have any recommendations?

Been using Parrot I'm work trucks for years, never had any problems on my gs3 our other phones. The Mic could be better, sometimes it's not the easiest for people to hear you, but the Parrot in my truck has a booster in the cradle and have noticed a better signal with it especially in remote areas.
I bought the Gogroove smartmini aux off amazon. Plugs into my auxiliary port. I use it in my mini cooper and it works great. Much cheaper than a parrot.

This is pretty awesome. Is the music quality pretty good? The only part that gets me, is that it will constantly need to be recharged
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
The sound quality is great. Charging isn't a big deal since it comes with the usb cable and you can charge it while you're using it. I mainly got it cause I kept getting a feedback on my s3 with my aux cable. Figured adding bluetooth would be cool and it is.

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.
