The quickest and easiest way is the swap out the bad sounding speaker unit and replace with something better. Buy some ebay or whatever, not expensive .

While remembering Bluetooth transmission via SBC codec has few different bitrate of transmission, low is bad and high is relatively acceptable, plus internal DSP etc etc etc, hence you may be lucky they are using high bitrate and stereo.

Your post more than 2 years ago, probably you moved on, got better products and skip all this entirely. :)

This take apart repair shows how to disassemble the Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V smartphone quickly and safely. This will help you install replacement parts to repair your damage phone.

This guide will help you to install the following Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V part(s):

Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V LCD + Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement

Other Samsung Galaxy S 4G Parts

Tools Required:

Safe Open Pry Tool

Small Phillips Screwdriver

Adhesive (For screen repair)

Heat Gun / Hair Dryer

Samsung Galaxy S 4G T959V LCD and Touch Screen Digitizer Repair Guide:

Begin by removing the battery door, battery, sim card, and the memory card.

Using the Small Phillip screw driver, remove the seven screws from the back of the phone.

Figure 1​

Using the plastic pry tool, carefully slide and twist all around the phone separately in the front from the back. It is no more for the plastic to make some cracking noises as your on snapping and separating it into two pieces, but be very careful not to press the pry tool too far in damaging the internal components of the phone.

Also, most of the side buttons will fall out during this process, so be sure to keep track of them and save them for reassembling.

Figure 2​

Using the pry tool, carefully lift and unsnapped the top earpiece speaker flex cable from the board. Do the same for the larger LCD screen flex cable to the left. And now the bottom flex cable.

Lift up and gently detached the white antenna cable.

Now, using the pry tool, gently lift up the mother board. Do this very carefully and make sure that you do not damage the power button flex cable on the side.

Figure 3​

Now we are going to remove the earpiece flex assembly which includes the headset jack, earpiece speaker, and light sensor. Carefully pry out the headset jack, but before removing it completely, use your pry tool to get under the flex cable and release the blue tape holding it down.

Now carefully pry out the light sensor and the earpiece speaker with your all connected with the flex cable.

Using the pry tool, detach the white coax antenna cable from the LCD assembly.

Now, use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the adhesive holding the screen assembly to the front housing. Use medium heat on the front of the screen, consistently moving around the screen edges. This should take no longer than 1 minute.

Use a safe open pry tool to release the screen assembly from the housing. Reheat if the adhesive is still strong.

Remove the screen from the housing and replace.

Reverse the instructions above to reassemble your phone.

I would like to replace only the touchscreen digitizer. It is possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Anything is possible! Weee!

EDIT: actually, and sadly, I'm wrong. :) The lcd and digitizer are only packaged as one piece. So to replace the touchscreen digitizer, you also have to replace the lcd.

We highly suggest using a LCD + Touch screen assembly as it will make your repair much easier.

We have the exact video you're looking for! Go to RepairsUniverse (dot) com, and find it under the tab "Repair Guides & Videos"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
RepairsUniverse has a video of someone following the SGS 4G directions on the SGS4? Are there tears? Cause following the directions to disassemble a 3 year old phone model and applying those directions to a completely different new phone model seems like there really should be tears.

Or did you maybe just misunderstand the schadenfreude? I mean, I'm at least partially German... it's got to be in there somewhere. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I like the jib of your snark ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
I mean, when it really comes down to it. Open the device up, unscrew almost everything you need to get the digitizer/lcd off, remove that crap with a heat gun and new tape. Heat it up again to get the tape to shrink a bit. Put everything back together and turn it on and test. Beyond that it's just patience and experience. (doing it without ruining the chassis and new digitizer/lcd gets you XP+ :D )

The guide is pretty universal.

You'd be a fool to try to put the screw-driver over a place there isn't a screw on a different phone. You'd be looking at the guide and your device thinking "WT... am I looking at? This is wrong.". But if you're a tinkerer like the rest of us... you'll figure it out. Even looking at the wrong manual. Maybe just looking at the same manufacturer and seeing their 'process' might be kinda handy.

Hi there!

I had XXKK6 on my original 4.0.1 rom. Now I have GummyNex with Franco kernel. I've also managed to flash DOMKKD which was a better option for me. Now when I try to fastboot boot (any baseband).img, it hangs on the Google screen. This happends with every baseband I try to boot.

What can I do to get out of this? I don't want the DOMKKD any more but I also have no clue why it always hangs on the Google screen when booting other basebands.... Luckilly I didn't flash'em! ;)

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ledanur:
The automatic backlight settings in Cyanogen Mod are a really handy tool. However, since I'm a flashaholic, and tend to do clean flashes for every nightly that generated, it becomes quite exhausting to reenter my +25 custom backlight levels every time.

So, basically, what I'm asking is, whether there's a file in which these settings are stored. I'd like to back it up for future use.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:
Hi,

Like many of you you are not able to change the Audio settings in Service mode on your Galaxy S II after updating to 2.3.4+ or after updating to ICS. I for one need to re-enable WB AMR, which significantly increases your voice call quality. Some others like to change the setting to increase call volume outgoing or receiving.

Seems like Samsung removed this menu to prevent users from filing warranty claims after mucking with their audio settings.

Can someone please post their Service Mode APK that allows you to enter into the [5] Audio category?

If you were unaware, you can enter service mode on the Galaxy S II by dialing *#*#197328640#*#*

Are you sure that the serviceModeApp.apk file is sitting in the system/app directory? If it is just saved to your phone and installed normally, it will appear in data/app directory. Use something like RootExplorer to move it to the system/app directory and reboot, and try it again.

This thread is all about navigation apps, which are working on Blade, without crashes and lags.​

Copilot LIVE Europe

- definitely one of the best navigation apps (tested on CM BurgerZ)

First, you create an account. Choose your maps you need and download them, works very fast without issues, then you can start to choose your route. It's very precise and it has shown me no wrong direction or route until now, turn-by-turn directions and alternate routes are awesome, 3D - 2D views are clear like the voice guidance too.:)​

TOMTom

- very good app, but it needs his time to locate. (tested on CM BurgerZ)

Simple-fast install, good UI. a very good alternative to google maps​

Google Maps

One of the best navigation apps in the market (tested on CM BurgerZ)

It has the most features you'll need and works reasonably quick like at work, while driving, or visiting somewhere completely new, either on foot, or car. Navigation is still BETA​

Sygic: GPS Navigation

- great turn-by-turn GPS navigation app (tested on CM BurgerZ)

Sygic has a very clear map layout, considering that it uses TomTom cards. Sound with quick response and good routes with clear navigability, it convinced an already but sometimes it takes a bit to start it, everything else is ok.​

Waze Social GPS & Live Traffic

- A cool social GPS driving and navigation app that connects you to other drivers (tested on CM BurgerZ)

It is like your standard GPS app but with notifications when approaching police traps, speedcams, heavy traffic or hazards on the road. Easy to use and very practical with a extremely user-friendly UI. It works very well on the Blade.​

If anyone has tested another app, please write your judging about it.

Hello

I have just got my note, sadly google maps didn't determind my location till I turned on AGPS. I tried to use gps status to check for sats with no results after 10 min, I knew something were wrong. I root the device & installed lbstest mod & tried to get position. With no results, I tried to check hardware test for gps, also no sat were found, I changed the mods nothing occur.

I tried to change my csc into open europ. & did all check again,& no improvements.

I installed oden & tried to install a complete wipe rom; codec, modem, csc. Open version Still can't get any sat on any gps app.

Samsung middle east says you should pay for changing inboard 400 $ as it not purchased for the main country dealer, as I moved to ksa; as if they know nothing about softcodes.

I also tried to use other pool like Asia or global, niether any results

I checked alogcat to check.. But I couldnt understand much,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IssamGS2:
Hello guys!

I've a no-brand italian Galaxy S2 and since i've installed the first official ICS version (the LPQ from Poland) i started having some serious issues.

The problem number one: i can't install any different firmware than ICS or Gingerbread 2.3.6 (ILA2 and ILA3). If i try 2.3.4 or 2.3.3 the result is a bunch of red words like "E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)" or "E: failed to mount /efs (No such file or directory)".

The second problem is about the USB specifically when i use the phone as a mass storage. Suddently it disconnects. It can be after 5 minute, 10 minute or even after 30 seconds. It's not a PC problem since i've formatted it and the phone keeps disconnecting! :(

I believe the two things are linked somehow, that's why i made only one thread.

Hope to get through this with you :D

PS: Of course i've tried a factory reset, a deep clean 1 and 2. Still nothing.

First I'd try what the person above me said.

If it doesn't work on other computers, I recommend you to try to install another firmware thorough recovery. Something like CyanogenMod or MIUI to check if the problem exists there too.

After a lot of searching I finally found an armband that fits the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 perfectly.

Tune Belt, Model #AB85.

When the player is in the case the home button row is partially blocked so a little maneuvering is required but otherwise it works great. I'm a runner and really needed something that holds snug and this certainly does.

If you read this and decide to get one, get the extra strap for 'big arms.' It is cheaper than the shipping and unless you are really thin, you'll want it. (Plus it is less than two bucks.)

Hope this helps someone.
