I was removing my sim card from my infuse and one of the contacts came up. Like its still in tact but its lifted up. Should I try pinning it down or is it not fixable? Here's a picture

I had the same thing happen to mine. I carefully pushed it back down and put my sim back in it. As long as you don't break it it should still work

Did you use any tools or just simply pushed it down?

Haha! Yes! It worked! Thank you very much. I took your advice and used a pocket knife on the metal thing. Although it seems I might not be able to remove my Sim card anymore. But hey at least it works.

Hey guys I know this may be the wrong place to post this, so don't flame me too bad. But I picked up a digitizer cracked g2x for 90 last week and was wondering if anyone one had a spare digitizer with tools to trade me for my cracked Motorola defy.

shall do my friend! Have had it for about 6-7 hours now and I love it. Display is fantastic (despite the digitizer haha) but phone won't make a sound or vibrate when text is received.. vibration and sound work everywhere else though. Even as I type. Rom wise I'm on eagles blood ics aosp right now and works fantastic. Came from cm9 though. Like eagles blood. How do you wipe the internal SD, without a computer, if possible?

Vibration might just be because of an app u downloaded. Some apps take control over that like some music apps and mms apps, Or you have to enable it in the messaging app settings. Also I'm no expert but can't u just delete everything with a file explorer? I just wiped everything recently so I can try again.
Edit: I think the internal SD is under mnt, emmc, so u can delete everything with a file manager. Someone nor knowledgeable should help you out with that. Btw, if u wanna see this phone fly, run Hellfire Phoenix

Before I upgraded to ICS, call echoing would not exist. Now, whenever I call someone they complain about an echo unless I take the phone out of the case. I have tried an Otterbox, two different Casemate Pop cases and a silicone case, all with the same issue. I am on stock everything. Any fixes?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You might try a really thin TPU case. You can find some good-quality ones for ~$10 on Amazon. I got a decent (but thick) TPU from Amazon for $3 a few weeks back. If it really just doesn't work and it's definitely the case causing it, maybe try something like Ghost Armor?

Why the objection to rooting? A few tweaks or a custom ROM might fix you right up. Otherwise, yeah, try that Ghost Armor stuff, cut a bigger hole in the case or learn to live with it. Returning to stock is easy, and flash counters can be reset...

Multiple reasons.
1) I'm too intimidated by reports of people getting bricked and having to factory reset
2) This is my only android device plus my only means of contact so I'm not willing to even experiment with something I don't know
These may seem like stupid reasons because everyone here is a root user, but I'm someone who usually manages to mess up every piece of technology I touch, either software or hardware wise. I've had this phone for 6 months without even one scratch on the screen, so I'm doing surprisingly well by my standards.

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?

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

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.

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.

Broke a note2 and had to come back to my cappy as my primary until I get it replaced. I found this broken telescoping radio antenna and started messing with the screen. To my surprise it works like a stylus. Immediately I decided I don't wanna lose this so I emulated the note 2 and I molded a dock for it into the the back cover. Its unfinished but I thought it was pretty neat.

Try going into navigation and get directions to a place of your choice, start navigation and let it set. I have had it take up to 20 minutes to get a lock. Once it does it seems to be pretty fast after that. Also I have dirty flashed before and had that fix it. It is really hit and miss for me when I'm switching between asop and TW GPS is very touchy.
