I'm the op, but real life had prevented me from trying to fix this. My next step is to try to straighten the pins manually as suggested in a post above. If that doesn't work I'll order a replacement port. I did search Google and replacing the port seems extremely easy.

it will take me a couple of days until i can spend some time on this, I'll report back.

I wouldn't think it would be TOO bad either. I had to replace a screen on my old AT&T Tilt a few years back, now that was a PITA. With the sliding and tilting mechanism making disassembly a test in patience and the screen's ribbon cable being soldered to the board instead of a connector, it made for a longer project than expected.

My usb port went out and did the same thing about six months ago but it was still under warranty so I was able to flash back to stock and exchange it. Good luck with the DIY repair. I have faith!! :good:

I just ordered mine. $8 and free shipping. I'll update after it gets here and I've had a chance to replace it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drix11:
I am having the same problem

I am anxious to hear how the repair went. I am having the same problem with the micro USB port. I just ordered on ebay for just under 8 bucks.

I called AT&T to see if my phone was still under warranty, and the guy asked me what was wrong. I told him that I was having problems with my USB port, that at times the phone would not charge while connected to the charger, that I had to "wiggle the wire" for it to connect, and that the battery icon would blink and the unlock screen would say that the phone is charging when it was actually unplugged.

He told me that my phone is under warranty, but if the USB port was bent or damaged, warranty would not cover it. Also, if I sent it in to be replaced under warranty, and it is not covered, they would send me a new phone and charge me full price for it and keep my phone!

What a bunch of crap! They want me to pay full price for a brand new phone if

they

decide it is not under warranty. It seems like my only choice is to void my warranty (it's not worth a crap anyways) and take the phone apart and replace the USB port myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
The repair is not complicated. There are a few videos on youtube that show how to do it. I've actually not had time to do it myself because I've been traveling for work, but I've watched the videos, and it looks like a straightforward repair. Just go slow and be careful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LosserKlosser:
I'm sorry if this question is answered with a quick Google search, but I have not been able to find an answer.

Does anybody know for how long Samsung will be rolling out android updates (and TouchWiz updates) for the Galaxy S2?

I would just like to know if developers still consider the device alive.

As a side question, is there really any applications yet to take full advantage of quad-core CPU in a smartphone device?

I get to compare my GS2 with my girlfriends HTC Wildfire S whenever she runs into a problem and that makes me feel that I never have to wait for anything to load on my GS2 or struggle with memory issues. And I really can't imagine that the GS3 or the new quad-core model from HTC could do a much better job, with notable differences in speed.

But I may just be naive and not use very heavy applications.

What exactly does modding mean in the smartphone world? Does it mean taking bits and pieces from other roms and putting them into another? How do you do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] redline57:
No an expert but yes.

Most developer will put different mod for small things like. Icons, status bar, removing the sprint, or something more complicated like a 3 way boot to a rom that will allowed you to boot into recovery once you hold the power button..

Most required root or a special rom running to allowed the tweek or mod to work. Mainly you will need root access or super user access to apply the majority of little tweeks available.

Is not taking from anything is a change to the rom or feature enabling you to do something that your rom did not let you do before

Simple I guess

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Galaxynote1234:
Thanks. I'm just curious as to how I install the different tweaks. Say I wanted a notification task bar from one rom onto the rom i already have installed. How do I go about doing that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] redline57:
Is not as easy as to get a specific part of a rom. Is what is available from the developer for your rom.

Sometimes they are tweeks available to most rom in general. You would find that in the developers forum as well on themes.

In general the person providing the tweek will let you know in the first post how to installed or flash the tweek. You would need to read and see if it work on your rom.

Sometimes the best tweeks are apply to a whole rom in general, making that rom the best choice. Making the choice easy as to just flash that rom from the developer. That's when you start following your favorite themer or developer.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Galaxynote1234:
Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it. Had another question about roms but I didn't want to start another thread. Lets say I'm currently running the blazer rom and I wanted to start using the jellybomb domination rom. How do I do this. What are the steps because I've read a lot of threads and they just say to do a wipe first then install. So do I just put the file into my external sd storage, do a wipe/factory reset and then install the rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] redline57:
Assuming you know how to flash and work with clockworkmod.

Make a folder on your internal SD called Root or whatever just to be organized. Place the rom inside the folder. This allowed you to be organized to what you are flashing keeping stuff separate to minimized flashing the wrong file.

What I do before a flash (make sure to reset wallet if you had setup before flashing)

Boot into recovery

Wipe user/data 3x

Wipe cache 3x

Wipe Dalvik 3x

Then look for the zip or installation file on the folder you save it.

Hit flash and you are golden.

Repeat steps for new rom.

Now if you are updating the same rom to a higher versión. The dev. Might tell you just to wipe cache and Dalvik and then flash.

Also there is a advance restore allowing you to just restore your data from a previous version. That way after you flash the update your phone boots with all your apps and setting you had before.

The instructions don't mention anything about backing up data and I could not find anything regarding this one.

All the other root instructions mention that I would need to back up SMS/contacts, but since I'm not rooted yet, I'd have no way to backup app settings.

If it is still of interest, there is an alternative available in play store: QuickSearch of Ozmium.

Besides providing a widget, it's an app as well, doing what you described: opening the search results in browser.
