So it seems some of the metal contacts broke off in my headphone jack and I need to replace it. It seems like a pretty straightforward fix but I don't know if the replacement part requires a Verizon-specific model or not.

Both of these websites say that it is compatible with the i535 but I'm not 100% convinced.

Looking at mine, there appear to be some traces or something near the corners, which I imagine are antenna-related, and I don't see these in any of the pictures of the replacement part.
Does anyone have any insight here? Perhaps anyone who's done it and can confirm that its a universal part?
Thanks
I just saw a dissasembly video on youtube that identified the antennas on this part. The one near the flash LED is the GPS antenna and the one near the speaker is the GPS antenna. Since these are the same on all SGSIII models, I'm more convinced that this part should be Verizon-compatible. I also was able to make them out on a few pictures, not sure why I missed it before.
I was going to delete the question altogether, since I'm pretty confident now, but figured I'd leave it up for any future googlers down the line...

I'm actually preparing to do this same thing as well with my blue S3. Ordered the headphone jack a few hours ago. My headphone jack has only played audio in the right ear for the last month and a half. Looks simple enough to do according to iFixit.

I did this repair myself (different break though, mine just quit working).
Can't remember the link I used, but the speaker/headphone module seems to be universal. The part I used listed it for the several models, but not i535 but worked fine.
Think I got it on eBay with a Buy-it-now for $7 plus shipping.
Really easy repair too, just be careful popping out the module connections.

That's really encouraging, my friend. Glad it's gone over so well for you since replacement. Quick question, did you purchase an opening tool to separate the headphone jack component from the phone? Just curious what you used to separate it.

I did use some plastic tools, but I don't think it was entirely neccessary, made popping the module connections easier though.
I got the 2 item set from Fixit (found a $x off coupon, and managed to get 2 sets for free and only paid a couple dollars for shipping).

Has anyone purchased the official dock for this phone? I was wondering if it is worth $49.99 from T-mobile.
I have. It's extremely great quality. You're paying for one of the sturdiest docks ever.
It's definitely expensive, but it's definitely high end quality.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App
I bought one when I bought my phone about 2 weeks ago, but returned it a couple days later. Sure, it's a sturdy, but it doesn't have any dock functionality. To me, it's a glorified plug. It doesn't trigger anything on your phone that plugging in a charger doesn't.
Totally not worth the $50 to me. I ended up making my own "dock" with an old credit card, cardboard, and duct tape.

I can't seem to post links to external sites since I haven't posted enough, so forgive the formatting, but the image can be found here: goo [dot] gl [forward slash] TRgvi
That picture was taken last week. It has more duct tape to smooth out the edges and make it "prettier" and more sturdy. I think found the "make a credit card a phone dock" on Lifehacker or something. It worked great for landscape, but putting the phone in the dock in portrait made it tip over, so the cardboard was added for stability.

That's a much better price than the 50 they originally charged for it, and I've already ordered mine.

The MT3GS dock had a line out port, and you could stream to it via bluetooth. I've no idea if this dock has it or not, as I can't find any documentation on it anywhere.
For 25 bucks, I'll take a shot and see what it's got. It was, after all, a 50 dollar accessory originally, so maybe it's got the BT after all.

Yeah I got it from another site for the same price, defiantly the same dock and now worth the price. 50$ was way too much to pay. It will either dock to USB or dock to charge, one or the other. It has no speakers for playback. Its basically a vanilla dock.
Does anyone know where I can get the internal antenna cable for our G2x? Had the screen replaced and now I get no reception , I can only use phone through WiFi Calling now. I believe the LG part no. is EAD61725901. I can't seem to find parts anywhere on internet. Is there an aftermarket/alternative cable I can use maybe?
Your help is appreciated, thanks in advance....

Oh man... What happened when you tried to solder it. I tried that as well, but the phone still working... Just seems to be overheating, but that could be because it's searching for data maybe? I disabled mobile data, but still seems to be hot. Idling around 80-85 right now?
Just talk to stupid LG USA parts and they said they can't send me the part. I have to send in the phone for repair.... RRRrrrrrrRRRR
G2x I-PEX MHF antenna cable
Hope this helps:
The cable is micro-coax, The ends are terminated with a MHF connector, very commonly used in microelectronics. It is 75mm (7.5 cm) in length and has a fixed orientation. The following sites are suppliers that will be able to assist you in obtaining the correct cable and orientation.
search: Gradconn Corp
I would post a direct link but due to insufficient post I am unable.
WARNING
DO NOT even attempt a solder job without a stereoscopic microscope on ANY microelectronic PCB. The results are... see post #1. A solder job may work, but highly unlikely.

G2x (P999) antenna cable..
I was finally able to fix one for a customer.. while replacing the digitizer, i somehow damaged the coax cable for G2x (antenna cable).. I tried to find at so many places online and came across this post but was not able to find any one who carried the part. Then thru google i came across dealrepairs-dot-com who had the cable for Optimus 2x (p990) for very cheap.. i ordered it hoping it would be the same thing.. it arrived finally in about 18 days (China to US).. i used no tracking free shipment.. total cose $3.60... it was the wrong part. // anyways, i had a customer who had a CDMA LG Marquee thru Boost..he was sending it back to insurance after breaking the digitizer and ordering a new one. I took it from him before shipping and opened to find out that it had the same size coax cable as G2x... end of story ..
You can search for LG Marquee coax cable.. or u can search for broken CDMA LG Marquee either by sprint or boost (which is cheaper than a broken G2x)...
Digikey has a part that works
Digikey sells a part that is a 100 mm long for $2.30 that I was able to fit in place of the original 80 mm cable.
The Digikey part number is A36224-ND. You will need to split the extra length between the logic board and the antenna ends, it does fit.
Good luck

I've been having reception issues for almost two months, and i've ruled out software and SIM issues, which leads me to believe it's a hardware issue. Wi-Fi works with no problem, so i suspect it's the GSM/3G antenna that is failing. However, i have no way of knowing where it is. I know there are antennas on the two plastic pieces in the back, and i know that removing the top cover (where the microSIM is) kills Wi-Fi. anyone know where the GSM/3G antennas are?

Others may disagree, but every phone I've ever owned had the 3g antenna in the bottom for regulatory emissions reasons.
Its at the bottom, guess the antenna actually IS the removable cover. Images and some FCC stuff here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5868/htc-one-s-review-international-and-tmobile/7

Well, that happened to me aswell, the same day i dropped the phone from my table i started having issues with the antenna.

I also saw this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0jGY2N2h1U

Just so you know, i took the phone to a repair center (not HTC specific, but seemed pretty good) and they told me it's a problem with the PCB or chips, since the phone wouldn't pick up a signal even with an external antenna

made by the same factory as the energy one posted above, they are just rebadged, they do alot of these in china.
Yeah, figured as much. I've already got a backorder on two of the original Samsung back covers. Will be using these until they are ready.
Do you know when y'all should get those? I've got my finger on the trigger but if it interferes with IP67, I'm out.

I should be getting mine any day now. Not sure if it will affect the waterproofing or dust rating. My guess is that it will not interfere There's just enough space in the back cover for it. Only time will tell.

please do! The only reason it wouldn't work is if the contacts are switched (ie: pos/neg).. if thats how they even work?
Also when looking at placement, it might cover the speaker and/or sit on the seal. Minor issues to deal with while we wait for the official cover!

Also when looking at placement, it might cover the speaker and/or sit on the seal. Minor issues to deal with while we wait for the official cover!

The s4 that i have wont affect the speakers, i also a few s3, note 2, i can check those, but the s4 has a better chance, as mentioned it all goes by the positive/negative. Pins and the size.
i see all these people on here saying theyre going to return or exchange their S6. i have a note 4 and it prbly has half the things theyre returning their S6 for, honestly i never bothered to check. my note 4 does have bad lag, that other ppl suppousedly dnt have, but i missed my return date waiting for a patch/upgrade to fix my lag.
i totally understand paying $600+ on a phone and wanting a good working phone but as a samsung fan whos gotten flawed phone after flawed phone ive accepted the fact that im never going to get a perfect phone. so my question is where do you all draw the limit? or are u wanting that perfect phone.
list of the flawed sammys
S3: found out it couldnt read memory cards after return date (got a refurb s3 that could read memory cards)
s5: antenna problems (started having rly slow internet)
note 4: phone lags badly.
I think people just want a phone that doesn't arrived to their door already scratched, or with a 24 hour led light on, or in my case, a charger that doesn't charge the phone out of the box.
Have a reorder processing as we speak. Software issues are absolutely nuts (auto brightness turning on/off on its own, Samsung keyboard keeps reactivating, MMS not working, etc) and there's something VERY wrong when I can reboot the phone, turn on *only* Google Maps and Pandora, and the phone runs out of memory, closing Pandora down. I mean, what the ****, Samsung?
I doubt the new phone will fix these issues, and I think I'm just going back to my Nexus 5.

It will, those issues are not normal. My phone shows none of those.
However, I have a scratch under the top bezel of my glass and the Always on LED on the flash so I am going to get a replacement.
can somebody upload a pic of the always on led?

actually just saw the thread on it. mine isnt arriving till the 17th so idk if ill even be affected by this.
yeah i understand these things suck, but i feel like every galaxy launch has had a similar incident. when i got the s5 there was the camera incident and the antena incidents.

Yeah, if my replacement device shows up tonight and has ANY defect, this is just going to be a straight return, and I'll wait for another model. I mean, I am a Samsung avoider usually. I tend to not like how they do business, how they advertise, the products they put out... The S6 looked THAT good to me, that I would put my history with them behind. If I get 2 defective phones in a row (and I mean this new one needs to be PERFECT) it's going right back and I'll wait for the '15 Moto X or something. Maybe the G4.

The good news is, there were no defects. The bad news is because there was no phone. It was on the UPS truck to be delivered on the 8th, and returned to the depot around 12AM. It never left the depot on the 9th, even though UPS swore up and down that it was out for delivery. Contacted T-Mobile, they contacted UPS, confirmed it was lost. Now, here's the kicker: T-Mobile left me a voicemail saying *I* had to file a claim with UPS to make things right. Called them right the **** back and told them it wasn't my responsibility. They're shipping another out tomorrow. Who knows when I'll get it?
