The charging port on my Galaxy Exhibit II is not working. Anyone know of a manual or video on how to replace it?

Thanks for any help in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] yBrik:
Assuming it's the USB port itself, forget it. I was able to solder a wire to the port by no small miracle, the leads are barely bigger than a pinhead. Replacing the port may be more possible than modifying it, but only continue if you're really good at fine soldering. Otherwise, well, the Nexus 4 is a beautiful phone....

EDIT:

Another option would be an external charger like this one- works a treat when I'm too lazy to plug my phone in. Just note the shipping time is like 3 weeks.

If you have insuramce report it lost and just pay the prenuim.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] templefugate:
Thanks

I wondered if this was a Chinese sweat shop kind of operation. My soldering skills are rusty and when good are more thumb than index.

I promised this phone to my daughter if I got a new one, and oddly enough I was looking at the Nexus 4 on Google Play just yesterday.

Seems like the most reasonably priced path to Jelly Bean, so I will give it a good look. Didn't see in the specs anything about an Micro SD expansion port. Would like to get something I could plug a 64gb in. I love the Note II, but the price on those is too high. I have an external charger like the one in the link. Got mine on eBay with a gel case, 2 batteries, 2 screen savers the AC external charger which also had a USB port and cable which allowed me to charge one in the charger and one in the phone. I only paid 13.95 I think for the bundle. I bought 2 more batteries from them direct through PayPal, with 2 styli and 2 3 foot USB sync/charge cables for 9 bucks including shipping. The shipping was a little slower but the price was great. My next move is to find a great calling plan. Right now I'm on a prepaid per minute plan from Ptel which is a T-Mobile re-seller. I seem to pay about 20-30 bucks a month, so I'm trying to get a plan in that range unlimited. I know most will think that's crazy, but I think it's crazy we pay more. Straight Talk which is a prepaid brand that TracPhone sells through WalMart, has come out with a cell based home service. It uses a cell "router" a cell box you locate in a place in your home where it can get good cell reception. Plug it into a power outlet, plug in a cordless phone base and you have home service for 15 bucks a month....no contract! If I buy my phone, tell me why the major carriers couldn't give me a plan like that on a cell. The home plan has nation wide unlimited talk, call waiting VM, and 3-way for that price. This is a cell, so why not on my cell? Because we are idiots and give them more, much more. We take their "FREE" phones which we end up paying a small fortune for, in monthly fees and add-ons. No one in their right mind would pay their home ISP extra to use a phone, laptop or tablet on the WIFI in their home network. But everyday I see people paying 20, 30 dollars extra to use the internet on their cells, on their laptop or tablet. Why does how you pay change because its a cell? Why would you pay extra for something on a cell that you would never pay extra for at home? I was eating a Sonic last year with my daughters. It was a nice day so we ate on the outside dining area. I hit the buzzer to request a refill on our soda's and they said it would be 65 cents. I refused of course and now I often stop at Circle K (our version of 7-11) and get a 44 oz for 75 cents. I eat the burgers from Sonic and drink my soda from Circle K. Best way to end this madness, is to vote with your wallet.

No insurance

No insurance, but I bought it new from a crack-head so it only cost me 40 or 50 bucks, I can't remember. I've had it about 3 years now so I got my money worth out of it. Thank heaven for crack-heads. Just kidding of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Its still good just buy a wall charger for it.

I pay 30 dollars a month for everything only because I'm a authorized dealer but I just buy my personal phones out right I'm looking at the new nexus which is googles version of the s4 which will be out June 20 the unlock sim lock, already unlock boot loader , googles own version of android, it has an hefty price tag I believe 647.00 but if its good as it sound that's my next phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] templefugate:
Plan

Being a dealer maybe you can give me a little info on something that may be out of your area....I found a company Life Wireless that does the life line cell phones. They like most offer an upgraded plan where for around 30 bucks you get unlimited talk and text nation wide. They work through AT&T so my Exhibit would work with their sim. But the Nexus has a micro sim, so I'm not sure if that would work. My understanding was that there is a sim cutter that will cut a standard sim down to micro size. Is this correct? Also is there a life line service on T-Mobile's network? I will probably hang with charging my Exhibit with the external charger I'm using now. The Nexus does not have a card slot and I would find the 8-16gb built in limiting. I wish the Straight Talk home base unit used a sim. Although I'm sure they would figure out from the changing towers what was going on.....
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
The exhibit will work with life wireless long as its unlocked and yes a sim cutter will cut a sim card down to a micro sim. T-Mobile doesn't offer a life line program directly like at&t does. in all honestly im really liking the new s4 it has some really good battery life for running android 4.2 plus the new s voices is very useful in car mode. Straight talk offers cellular coverage i beleive its 45 dollars unlimited everything and again it will work on the exhibit long as its unlocked and change your access point for data.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] templefugate:
Exhibit

I tried to root the Exhibit using several tools and was unable to get it rooted. I switched from T-Mobile's sim to one from Ptel, a T-Mobile re-seller.

The sim switch worked so I guess it should work with Life Wireless. What is the name of AT&T's direct life line offering? Also are sim cutters fairly simple to use? Also the Exhibit has in it's menu, the option to use as GSM or CDMA. So I guess it could even work on Verizon or Sprint.

Although they would have to connect it to the network.

Contract replacement

I have been looking at the S4, Nexus 4 and HTC One. I was thinking about getting one of those with a contract and buying out the contract and keeping the phone. That seems to be the cheapest way to get a top phone at a good price new. They want a small fortune for the unlocked units charging a premium markup. Would there be any pitfalls from buying this way that I may have missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
T-Mobile is now an under carrier so they did away with contracts so now there month to month you can finance your phone through them its a 48 month term but you can pay off your phone anytime. S4 and htc one are my choices but i tried them both ( store demos) and the htc one battery is not as good as the s4. I beleive the s4 is 100 down then you pay your monthly payments. If you go to at&t and ask them about there life line service theyll see if you qualify. Only reseason unlocking is so expensive right now is because its illegal only applying to those customers that got there phone free or at an discounted price after Jan.26,2013. Rooting your exhibiit is pretty easy you dont need tools like superone click or ginger root they wont work flash cmw and this http://d-h.st/s9X flash cwm first then reboot then go into recovery then flash the zip if you see super su or super user its rooted then you can flash any rom you want fyi jelly bean roms dont get good battery life but if you use an extended battery youll be fine. Sim cutter is fairly easy to use only goofed up once only because the customer was nagging me with the same question over and over lol

The exhibit is an GSM phone it won't work on cda networks like verision or sprint the phone has an imei number which is gsm if the phone has an esn number its cdma I don't know what settings your talking about but the phone is gsm locked to tmobile only benifit unlocking the device is you can use any gsm network.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] templefugate:
Exhibit CDMA?

In my Exhibit II, if I go to Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Network mode I see 3 options; GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)

GSM only, and WCDMA only. Seems like the phone has both radios and can be switched to work on both some way.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Wcdma works with GSM let's say you use your phone in a area like australlia were they use wcdma that spectrum allow your device to use gsm to operatate on there spectrum.

Basicly all thoughs setting would do is you can switch over to use a different network if you dont if you don't have network somewhere.

It seems the exhibit is prone to this problem, many users have charging port issues, including me. I had to charge the battery using another Samsung phone, I'll be buying that external charger soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] express21:
i was having a bit of charging issues too, I just pulled that baby apart with the intention of replacing the charging port but then i realized it was intact so i used some all purpose thinner along with a toothbrush to clean the charging port.

NB: be careful im a technician, watch YouTube videos on how to disassemble if you are unsure. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] templefugate:
There are some universal external chargers on eBay and Amazon. They let you move the charging contact pins to fit "almost" any battery. They cost under ten bucks with shipping for most.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] dangie:
Last night, as I was getting my phone loaded up with travel software for my trip to San Francisco. My phone's screen decided to do go bezerk with Vertical lines. I've seen posts on it, but people just say go buy a T6 bit and make sure the cable is tight. Has this ever worked? It almost seems more like the default video settings got hozed. I've done all manners of resets, left it off the charger. I even blindly upgraded the rom (which amazingly was successful (it's trying to make a new partnership))

Nothing appears to work. I will get the T6 bit and open it up, but only because it is now worthless and I have nothing to lose. If anyone successfully fixed this problem please reply....

Dan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] noone:
I saw the same symptoms when I dropped my XDA. I googled a lot then and found that this happens also spontaneously and is possibly due to the LCD connector getting disconnected from the board.

I had it repaired by O2 without a fee (Of course I didn´t tell them I dropped it :) ).

Good luck

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Having issues with extremely slow wifi on my device. If I'm upstairs I can't even connect to my router. If I'm downstairs I connect but get horribly slow speeds. My other devices see like 8 wifi networks in my area, but I see only mine with the s4. If I try to enter the name of an open wifi network I know exists in my neighborhood, the S4 can't even see it.

I tested out disabling security on my router, and my speeds jumped up to normal if I was right next to the router. However moving to other locations in the house I still lose connection. If I turn on any kind of wireless security on the router, the speeds are super slow even right next to the router. In the 600Kb range (I have a 20Mb internet).

Almost sounds like a hardware issue to me. Tempted to bring it to Verizon, but who knows if they even have replacement devices at this point.

EDIT: So I managed to get the device to get fast wifi with security turned on by messing with security settings on my router. But if I do a speedtest right next to the router, I get great speeds. If I walk upstairs, and do another test, it's like I went back to 1997. Suddenly my ping is in the hundreds, and I'm getting 56K speeds. Walk downstairs again, and run it again, BAM fast pings and 20Mb downloads. The GNex gets 20Mb speeds throughout the entire house.

I have the device right next to my Galaxy Nexus right now. The GNex can see my network, and 5 others in my area. The S4 can only see my network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vue:
Could very well be a hardware issue with the actual unit - I don't have any WiFi problems at all here - is this running on stock? If so I would recommend seeing if you get a replacement unit if it helps - if not then I would ask what settings are on your router? is it 5ghz (i have had problems with that on ALL devices)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] middmd:
Are you using a case or custom back cover? If so try it without the case/back cover.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I'm running stock rooted.

I'm using a case, I've tried it without and it makes no difference.

My router also does 2.4ghz and 5ghz, and I've tried both and it makes no difference. I generally use the 5ghz, because the signal is bit better.

The oddest thing to me is that this thing can't see a single other wifi network in my area. My other devices will see multiple wifi networks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
Go into your router and disable (uncheck) the WMM option. Odds are youre having the constant connect/disconnect from some routers, especially but not limited to DLink DIR-655 and DIR 855 models. The disconnects and reconnects are quick enough that you sometimes won't see the wifi icon disappear and reappear.

I had the issue (i have the DIR-655) and unchecking the WMM (Wifi MultiMedia) fixed the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I have that option disabled.

I really think this is just the wifi radio being weak compared to my other devices. Not sure if its a defect, or just the way the verizon s4 is. The performance is fine in the same room as my router, or even in the room directly above it. In the furthest from it in the house, however, the S4 just can't get any connection over barely 1 bar, and the signal in wireless signal info is horrible. Not being able to see other wifi networks in my area is the most telling thing to me. Even if I walk around my neighborhood, I can't see any others. Maybe if I walked right up to someone's house I could, but I haven't wanted to look pervy, so I haven't tried that. :laugh: At this moment my Gnex can see 5 other networks sitting in the exact same spot as my S4. The S4 just sees my networks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] middmd:
Yeah sounds like yours is defective. On mine I can see networks from all around my neighborhood. (~5 of them)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
So today I finally came into work after being off for awhile, and brought my S4 in for the first time. We have open wifi at work everywhere with multiple access points per floor, so no matter where you are you should get 3-4 bars of wifi signal. From my desk where I usually get the full four bars on my GNex, my S4 gets 1 bar of wifi. Doing a speedtest, I get 2000kbps down, 872kbps up. My GNex gets 35Mb down, and around 25Mb up on the same wifi connection. So yea, there is something seriously wrong with this thing.

Damn I guess I need to flash back to stock and take it in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
I took took mine to Verizon and they swapped it out. This one gets a great wifi signal. The capper was when I was in the store and their display phones could see all the local wifi networks, and mine couldn't. Mine was barely able to connect to their instore wifi. New one works perfectly.

CARBON NIGHTLY | CABIN FEVER WHISKY
[HTC Butterfly] Sketchy_Whiskers:
Hello XDA Community,

I am looking to purchase as it says in the title, a HTC Buttery fly X920e. My main query is that will it work in Canada, mainly the Rogers Network.

The frequency bands that the X920e it supports are as follows: GSM (850/900/1800/1900) UMTS (850/900/1900/2100) but no LTE or CDMA support. (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/07/htc-droid-dna-butterfly/)

I believe these are the Rogers supported frequencies: This the wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Wireless#GSM)

Band II /W-CDMA 1900 MHz / Transmit: 1850 –1910 MHz / Receive 1930 –1990 MHz

Band V /W-CDMA 850 MHz / Transmit: 824–849 MHz / Receive 869 – 894 MHz

If I can have someone just verify if the phone will run, it seems it will but will I get 3G data connections? My area does not have LTE nor do I care about it.

Please help me and clarify,

Thank you so much!
