[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeeler:
Hi, I have the Galaxy Note i717 and had to replace my charging port as it had stopped charging reliably. I bought one of the many on ebay for around 8 bucks. I proceeded to put it in when I received it but to my dismay I no longer could get service at all, just wifi. So just to verify it was nothing I broke I put the old pcb back in and service returned. At that time I believed it was just a defective unit, so second try at it same thing no service old one works fine. Is this a problem anyone has ran into before? Any help I would appreciate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
It is quite possible that either your new port is the wrong part, or is damaged.

The port wiring is different between models ...I.E. SGH-I717, N7000, and other note models.

Even the charge cables are different part numbers between models, but visually look identical.

It just sounds like the port wiring is different to me ..

I suggest getting the port directly from samsung...even though it will cost a bit more.

At least then you have a fall back if the port won't function.

Or perhaps have the port repaired by Samsung directly ....

I'm sorry I can't offer more help .g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeeler:
Well both pcb boards that they sent me have the same markings as the one I removed. They also say on them SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107

So I do believe it to be the correct part. Just to clarify the new boards do charge the phone just cellular service stops. Maybe by some crazy luck I got two faulty boards. I wasn't sure they were going to send me a replacement so I ordered from another company as well so I guess I will have to see if that one works,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Interesting ....

The part seems okay ...

And the odds of two bad ports in a row is remote at best ....

Some time ago I saw a thread about an extra wire that traveled down from the antenna to the charging port....

And users were reporting that this very small wire was being damaged or missed when the port was serviced.

I've never seen this wire or connection ......but I figured I'd bring it up ..

Try a general search on the topic ...and see if it yields a result.....

I just remember it being a big deal ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeeler:
Just wanted to update the post in case this happens to anyone else. After getting the free replacement for the first part I believed to be defective I also ordered from another company as it took more than a month for my replacement, so I believed them to had stood me up. Well the one from the other company arrived today, and worked. Maybe the others were for different networks or something. I don't know if that is possible Rogers vs ATT frequencies and what not but it worked and all is well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MisterLas:
I am having issues as well...

My phone has a Rev1.0_1107 part, and I cannot charge unless I play with the cable, so i decided to replace this port.

1st was from China (ebay) and received no signal, only wifi. Rev1.0_1107

2nd was a replacement from the same company, same issue. Rev1.0_1107

3rd was from a place in CA (ebay) and is Rev2.0_1206 and same issues.

I can put my original part in there, and I get signal just fine... anybody have any ideas on this matter? It's frustrating to have to keep battery swapping and would like to get this fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeeler:
The one that finally worked for me was from ebay company (no.1-tech) also china but has been operating flawlessly for sometime now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MisterLas:
Noted... thanks. I have searched them out and they only appear to have the cable for the N7000. Can anyone else recommend a place to buy these from?

Just noticed that when it's near my window, I get 1 bar of service... So it's like my signal strength is uber weak. I have a microcell in my home, and it is functioning properly (other ATT phones are connecting just fine) and works again as soon I put the original cable back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnson1828:
Hi,I have a samsung Note N7000.

I'm have a similar issue,start with high power charging issue every 5seconds.I bought a replacement from ebay company in New Jerse it fixed that problem.but it created a problem when I make a call the other end can not hear me.I email the company and they sent #2 replacement.after

the charging port board was installed now I dont have any signal for service.the pcb# N7000/i9220_sub_Rev1.0.

I'm going try different company.what should I be looking for?I'm wasting too much time on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tellusair:
Having exact the same problem.. just a moment ago I tried the third board and still hacing exact same problem, no signal or one bar only when I have one bar I can make a call but the other end can not hear me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h4x0rm1k3:
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I wanted to bring this to others attention. What Gregsarg said about a white wire running down from the antenna is correct, or at least it is on an i717. It runs down from the right hand side of the board, behind where the flex board connects and onto the little round connector on the flex board, it's probably that that's been missed off of some phones as would be noticed by only getting 1 bar of signal! I've also noticed that the UK version of the note only has 4 brass connectors on the flex board 2 for the antenna and 2 for the speaker whereas the i717 has 5, 3 for the antenna and 2 for the speaker. I'm not sure what the difference is between a white or black i717 to be honest, i'd have thought it would only be the outer casing that had changed, I can't see them changing parts too, that just sounds stupid!

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is not just because of the above, it's because i'm in the middle of fixing an i717 for someone and was searching to see if a N7000 part would fit and although it looks as though it would I'm not willing to test that theory! I will say though that the missing brass connector is also connected to brass connector 2 on the Ariel/speaker module but on the flex board that connector also has a resistor above it which would likely cause an issue!

The part that i'm ordering is from a company in the UK but is a Rev 2.0 board and not the rev 1.0 that is in it already so i'm hoping that's not an issue else i'm gonna have to buy from China which is cheaper but will likely take an age to get here and the customer wants it done ASAP so what they want they get! I will update this thread once i've fitted the part and got it running along with a link to where I got it from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KaboodleMoon:
When getting the part, Revision usually does matter. Also the serial number under the revision number (Usually starting with DRC or DRG) can also matter. Getting the identical one is usually the best bet (albeit not the easiest considering people on ebay use stock images and don't show you the ACTUAL part you're getting.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h4x0rm1k3:
I got the new part this morning, it was a REV 2.0 board and after putting it all back together including the white/grey ariel wire I can report that it's working perfectly, as good a signal as it had before and is now charging properly. The link to the UK based seller is here for anyone interested that needs a replacement in the UK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300819833823?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The part is £19.99 with no P&P and arrived in 1 day. Just in case the link doesn't work then the name of the supplier is gravedigga1.

EDIT:- I heard back from my customer today who has reported having problems with wifi, signal and loudspeaker! Therefore the Rev 2.0 part won't act as a decent replacement for the Rev 1.0 unfortunately. I wasn't able to fully test as the customer didn't leave his sim card in and he uses 1 of those weird networks which I don't have a sim for. I have managed to source another UK supplier on ebay for an even cheaper price of £12 and they verified that it is a Rev 1.0 board they have in stock and have put 1 aside for me. Once I know that one works for definite i'll report back again just to update the thread but this time the customer is bringing the phone when the new part is here so it can be tested fully before it goes back to him!

I just find it strange that even though the Rev 2.0 is exactly the same in every way as the Rev 1.0 board that it has these issues although i've not heard of the loudspeaker problem before so I think there's a fault with it anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KaboodleMoon:
Yeah these notes are getting really dodgy in their old age. We've decided to basically not fix abutting except the screens anymore because getting the right parts is a nightmare.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paiger850419:
This may be a little off key here and if I'm in the wrong thread I apologize but...

I have the i717, bought the charging port off of eBay and replaced it. After plugging in the phone the touch keys at the bottom lit up like I was in business. After allowing the phone to "charge" for about 2 hours, the touch keys were the only thing to work and light up on the phone. I could press the lock key on the side and the touch keys would come off and on like it was on the lock screen but the screen was black. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, please help!

Thank you

Btw, it seemed like the phone was charged/charging bc those touch keys were on...

Pease Help..i717..charge port

Hello ,

My name is Russ and I have a Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 ( AT&T ) which I love . About two months ago the charge port quit working , so I ordered one from Ebay ( Flex cable , Mic/USB board ) , installed it and my signal was weak after installing it so I reinstalled the original board and it went back to full power . I thought it was a bad board , so they sent me another , I installed board #2 and the speaker on the back had no sound , put my board back in and the speaker went back working . So I had the supplier send me another board #3 . I got it installed , and the Mic wouldn't pick up , I put my board back in everything goes back to normal . So I thought it might be the supplier , so I tried a different supplier , same thing . In total I have tried three different suppliers and I lost count on how many boards I have installed .. Every time I can reinstall the original board and it will stop whatever it's doing wrong . My board Number is SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107 , DRBL12IN BF , 69 . I am at a lost , I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong . Thank You for your time ib6469 ( Russ )

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] msdalem:
Be sure to wear rubber gloves before opening phone and flex cable package. It stops any static electricity from ruining the flex cable. It also stops any grease from your fingers getting on anything. You would be surprised at how fragile these parts can be.

Hi all

I've took out my note II's "broken" charging port and placed it into my wife's note II, it charges fine which means my charging port is actually working. However it doesnt work on mine...what else could cause the phone to not charge at all? Is there a fuse or something i can replace? when I plug in the usb cable nothing happens, no charging LED, no screen - just nothing :(

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Accessories] diz_dizane:
whichever is the cheapest my lad, both pretty solid brands.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasvncnt1:
I use Samsung, happy with it. Not sure if this will help but.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gm2racer:
Get whatever is cheaper. Both appear to be good cards based on the reviews. Keep in mind that most if not all phones will not be able to take advantage of the Ultra-High Speed (UHS) capabilities of the latest UHS-1 cards (50+MB/s read) as seen in jasvncnt1 SD Card Tester results. I get similar results with my Class 10 cards.

A while back, a lot of people were recommending the Sandisk 32GB Class 4 microSDHC cards over just about anyone elses regardless of class rating. While this may have been true back then, most manufacturers are now producing pretty decent memory. I've got a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 in my Fascinate, a PNY 32GB Class 10 in my Lenovo K1, and a G.SKILL 32GB Class 10 in my Galaxy S3 and have had no issues with any of these cards.

Come to think of it, the only card that I've had issues with is the Samsung 16GB Class 2 card that came with my Fascinate. After about about a year and a half, it became permanently write protected. I can still read from the card, but can no longer write to it.

Hope this helps.

[HTC Sensation] arjaycabling:
what's the difference of having a new firmware?
[HTC Sensation] krazykipa:
Potentially better battery life, signal, and data transfer speeds thru 3G/4G. It's the kind of thing only the hardware manufacturer can improve because all the radio/RIL/bootloader components that are usually contained within updates are closed-source, so we can't fix it, they have to.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
The main thing is compatibility, you need to have the right firmware on the phone for the ROM. An ICS compatible firmware won't work with a GB ROM and vice versa.

There might be improvements but it's very hard to quantify. As the other poster mentioned it's all closed source stuff so no one really knows what HTC has changed. For example new firmware released with new RUUs or OTA updates can often break S-OFF tools until someone cracks the new version.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxie215:
I'm coming straight from an iPhone user that loves to customize on my phone everything including keyboard layouts, icons, themes, and anything that's UI related that I can just download and install with simple instructions.

Can anyone tell/teach me how I can do the same with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 that is currently using CM10 Nightlies. I know there's themes from various launchers but all of the themes offered don't suit my needs for building a minimalistic UI, much like the ones users submit on Screenlicious.com. There's also ROMs and Kernels but all of this is relatively new terms to me and I would like to learn it all and if possible, become a theme maker myself if it's not out of my reach. Comprehensive tutorial links would help. Thank you and sorry for being a big newbie.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souron29:
Well if you are from iPhone then I suggest learning the Android related things

custom kernel=> better performance, battery, overclocking CPU

custom rom=> customized stock rom I.e deleted crappy apps, themed stock rom and added tweaks

if you are planning on making themes then you should know that CM has an inbuilt theme changer app. To change themes you have to install a theme apk and then change the ttheme from theme manager app. To make themes apk u have to change mainly framework.apk and SystemUi.apk

Or else you can make a flashable zip and pack your themed apps inside that zip

hello all;

i'm a frequent user and supporter of the site, and i have to say i love the site and the people here.

now to more pressing matters i'm trying to find resources and read more and more about linux android development (completely got rid of windows by now ) IT'S USELLESS!!!! to me after a few months of constant linux use. yes linux takes some time, before you figure things out but it's a great OS.

anyways, i've looked in the general developers forum section, and there is just SO many ways that people say you should start (from scratch) and one is contradicting the other (sometimes).... so here is the actual question to the experienced developers out there... where do you guys start ?

little background:

basic C & C++ knowledge

some java.

(i used to tinker mostly with hardware before i dug into android)

any suggestions ??... which guides, sites ?, classess ?? any and all advice appreciated. and i hope it's ok to post this here, and if it's not (mods i'm sorry).

thanks.

Hi,(First day with my 3D)

Since the same process is used to achieve S-Off on 1.50 and 1.58...

Is there any good reason to

NOT

update to 1.58 before I S-Off?

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No.

Check out this guide if you are planning to get S-OFF. It will update your phone to the Sprint ICS 2.89.651.2 build, including hboot 1.58, before rooting and gaining S-OFF.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] xNotta:
Thanks for the link. Going to try it tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The RUU is a more complete update for the 2.89.651.2 Sprint ICS build than the OTA, and I highly recommend using it if you want a solid base for rooting and S-OFF. Some people have had problems with the HTC unlock required for JuopunutBear S-OFF after taking the OTA, and the guide I linked requires the RUU.exe as a base.
