Um fella.....the part in my second link states that it is for the 'm' model......

And tbh, I think trying to solder a replacement socket onto the original board, while possible, is simply too risky with so many tiny surface mounted components to dodge......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhd-android:
Yep, but the part in your second link is a different component entirely. It's the "Flex Cable Ribbon with Headphone Jack and Speaker". That part is at the other end of the phone from the MicroUSB board, so it's not what I'd be looking for. I think the part in your first link is exactly what I needed. I grabbed basically the same part, but from an eBay seller that had the item already in Canada.

That's why I mentioned that I was thinking of reflow soldering. There's nothing to "dodge" if you're reflow soldering. You put the solder on while the board is cold and the parts are attached, and you position the new part then. Once it's in the right position, you heat the board up, and no motor skills are required during the vulnerable stage when the solder is hot. The solder melts, and you turn off the heat. The board cools, solder hardens, and everything is good to go.

I've reflowed smaller components with no leads successfully. My concern was that some of the existing circuitry would sort of "float" out of position if I didn't get the timing right, or if the solder used on the existing components had a substantially lower melting point than the solder paste I have.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I'll bow to your wisdom on the reflow point...I have no experience of reflow soldering......

Anyway, good luck and keep us updated....:)

Problem 100% resolved by swapping in the new USB board.

I'll post the eBay link I used:

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251267517814

They were fast (same province as me though), and the board is identical to what I pulled out of the phone (but working of course). I could see that the problem with the previous board was a damaged pin. Only had time for a quick test, but everything seems to work with the USB now. I'll try ODINing a custom recovery tonight, and then a custom ROM to follow.

Thanks for all the help!

Does this also support the built in mic on some headsets?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I'm pretty sure it won't. The whole idea is to transfer only audio to your headphones, not a two-way communication with any other control built into your headphones. As a matter of fact, I was using my S4A II Klipsch which has built in-line control and also mic, and it made no difference. Only controls on the box and its built-in mic communicate with your phone.

This this box is my new favorite toy!!! I looked up other similar devices from Sony and Samsung, and nothing even comes closer in price. Plus, I was just testing it with external bluetooth speaker (and those usually have only volume up/down control, no way to play/pause or skip a track), and after connecting GAIN to that speakers 3.5mm input - I was able to use it as a remote control. Super cool!
[General Accessories] opasha:
very nice review bro! i have the same color, and it works just great. the only difference is, you might have a newer model because mine does not have a lock/unlock button on the side.

also, you are right, you cannot use the mic button functionality of your headphones. i have confirmed this.
[General Accessories] c0nvict:
Can you use it as a bluetooth headset for calling?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Absolutely, it support all the Phone and Multimedia functionality. So you can play and control music, and also receive phone calls, thus a built in mic.

I'm using the BlueAnt Ribbon which basically does the same thing and looks classier.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Indeed, not bad! But $20 more than Antec?
[General Accessories] stanglifemike:
I think the Antec looks very nice, BUT, I do prefer the way that the BlueAnt looks! That said, with the BlueAnt being almost double the price, I would definitely purchase the Antec over the BlueAnt!

I bought the Acoustic Research ARWH1 about 4 or 5 years ago(it's an antique by now going by technology standards! Lol) . I think I paid around $20-30 when it was on sale back then. It still works great and has never given me a single issue! IT is pretty small and not too much bigger in overall size, has a clip on the back, and it has all of the needed controls on it too. That said, I'm not in the market for a BT bridge, but if I was, the Antec would definitely be my choice!

Thanks to the OP for the excellent review and pictures! This will be very useful to anyone looking to get one of these devices!

I had it flashed from a couple of years ago and wanted to update it.

I flash a rom but it hangs on the reboot. Installed the sdk and have adb and fastboot. Have the htc drivers. 1.50 boot and S-ON and unlocked.

I connect to pc and run fastboot flash boot boot.img (after I extracted the image from the custom mod's zip) and it hangs on "waiting for device"

Please help get my phone back even if to stock rom. I will take ANYTHING that gets my phone back. Thanks!

Take the battery out of the phone. Then put it back in.

Next, hold the volume down button and press the power button while still holding the volume down.

From here, put your phone aside and install THIS to the pc.

Now plug your phone into the computer in a different port than you've already used. Probably check the back of the pc.

Now, wait until the phone installs drivers onto the pc.

When all the drivers have been installed and say ready for use press the power button on Fastboot only if you don't see fastboot usb.

Again, let the computer install more drivers and wait until it says ready to use if a driver install prompts.

Now, download THIS and place into the folder that has the fastboot binary in it. Should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools.

Now, run a command prompt (type in cmd in run).

When the command window pops up type in:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools​

and hit enter.

Now, type in:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img​

and hit enter.

This should flash a recovery.

Next, press the power button again and you should see just fastboot and let it load until you see recovery as an option.

press the volume down key until you're on that option and press the power button.

You now should be in the recovery menu.

From here you can copy a rom to your micro sd. Also, make sure to format all your partitions except the fat sdcard.

Then, flash the rom you copied. But make sure it's compatible with your current hboot before doing so.

And now you're back (i love how i just typed all that from memory, lol).
[HTC EVO 3D] GatorDeb:
Done all that. Can't send commands to it because it hangs on "Waiting for device" although the phone does say Bootloader USB.

On device manager it has an exclamation mark and I try to manually load a driver from the HTC folder to no avail.
[HTC EVO 3D] hucesar1017:
Remove the htc drivers. If you have non then download htc sync and that should install. Plug the phone in. In fastboot. See if it reads it. I think might just have to find the drivers you need.

I did that when I first started messing with the evo. I achieved htc unlock and root. I was on hboot 1.58 and i flashed pac man rom. My phone would just hang. I didn't make a backup before flashing the ROM. So I booted into boot loader, HTC relocked the phone. Then searched for the ruu for the software version I had before. Then I ran it using windows 8. It went through.

I was back on stock, no root or anything. Then I proceeded to HTC unlock again. Achieved s off using a piece of insulated wire from Ethernet. Flashed ROM, flashed hboot 1.50. Booted.

You might need to use another hboot. Try those steps to restore your phone. Let me know. (Don't forget to HTC relock through boot loader.)
[HTC EVO 3D] ohbuckeyeman:
The obvious other option to get your phone working again and back to stock is to find the latest RUU and run that utility in Windows. Just boot up into fast boot mode on your phone and that should be good enough for the RUU to see your phone and carry out its mission.
[HTC EVO 3D] GatorDeb:
Nope, the RUU utility doesn't recognize the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ohbuckeyeman:
Well that is frustrating. I don't know if you have already or not, but as mentioned above, try removing every piece of software that had anything to do at all with HTC and reinstall the newest HTC sync drivers. Hopefully all you have is a problem with drivers.

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

Also forgot to mention, you said you can still connect the phone to pc and transfer files back and forth, right? You can get the RUU in PG86IMG.zip format, place that on the root of your sd card and boot into fast boot. That should automatically start the recovery prices once it parses the .zip.

I've gotten to the point before where this was my only option. Hang in there.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
I would use linux booted from a USB or cd. Fastboot just seems to work better in linux.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcfunk:
If you can do adb command in recovery, you try

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of= /dev/block/mmcblk0p21

boot.img being the one you trying to flash in fastboot saved to sdcard.

Also I would use 4ext recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] THC Butterz:
the most ovious answer would be to download the latest RUU for ICS, then run it, after it extracts and is ready to install DONT INSTALL instead

make hiden files and folders visible in windows go to your temp directory usually ( C:/users/ yourusername/temp/local/) google to find it for your OS in there there will be a bunch of folders with really long names like 7937498257239475297-37947 for example, start with the top folder and find the one that contains android files like adb and fastboot, in there will be rom.zip, copy rom.zip to your sd card and rename it to PG86IMG.zip then return to the bootloader on your phone and flash it directly from the device.

in other words

Download this RUU http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...06__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe

- Open/Run the .exe (windows key on your keybord and the letter "R")

or

- Click the Start button

- Select the Run command

- type in: %temp%

- Search for a folder that has a bunch of characters and looks somewhat like this: {XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX}

- And inside that folder should be another folder that looks the same, and has the format above.

- Find a zip file called rom.zip

- Rename rom.zip to PG86IMG.zip

- place PG86IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard (not in any folders just on the card)

- pull the battery on the phone

- replace the battery and boot into the bootloader (power plus volume down)

- wait for it to load then flash by following the on screen directions

Ok I couldnt find where I should post this, so if anyone can help me that would be great. I rooted my phone a few months back. I had to flash the ISO seprate. my phone is S/ON if it matters. So to start the story off, I have the MeanBean ROM and for some reason it was laggy here lately and was acting weird. I was talking to my friend last night when I fell asleep. I woke up thinking that my phone had died because it was low when i went to bed. I had zero issues when i went to bed, I plugged it into my charger and the orange light didnt even come on. I pressed the power button and it still didnt come on. my friend tried 3 different chargers and we determined it wasnt the charger. it was just fine, charged about 18% and i took it and plugged it into my car charger to use for a gps. I get to work and text my friend to tell her i would talk to her on lunch, leave and come back 3 hours later on break and it was dead.. I started my car and it came on and went to the home screen and it just shut off before i could do anything. I hit the power button and instantly the orange light was solid, no flashing. I held the power button and it got stuck in a boot loop just staying at the HTC screen. Right now, I cant get it to charge, load into HBOOT or even get it to turn on to the HTC screen. Any clue what i can do to fix my life line?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Almost sounds like your battery took a dump. I know we have a non-removable battery, but it seems like I remember reading about someone else having a similar problem some time ago, and that they were able to have the battery replaced, which fixed their issue. Try leaving it on a charger that you know for a fact works for 8 hours or so and see if it will take a charge. Otherwise, you might want to take it to Sprint and let them look at it.

Hello all, you may be familiar with how the GS4 has a white background in Settings and other options with black/dark grey font. I've been trying to find a GS3 theme that'll work on our sprint phones but had no luck. Would it be hard to make a theme like this for our Sprint S3s?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
The color seems pretty simple. But the text, I have no experience with so Idk. As for the settings background, just gotta find the apk (don't remember which it is. But just find the background, invert, place it back In the apk and then put it into the location and rename the original with a . Bak and then place the new one there and set correct permissions then restart.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Well actually, Touchwiz by default pulls a black background if there's no universal background image in the framework-res's nodpi folder. You can simply add a white background and name it correctly to have it enabled. The problem is, enabling the inverted text here. I'm sure there's values all over the TW framework that overlap (for example, Touchwiz may have a TW_Color_001, TW_Color_002, etc. with each hex value used to determine text values. In settings, it may be TW_Color_002 for headers/sub headers, but it may also call upon that value in for example, the messaging app. If we were to invert the TW_Color_002 from #FFFFFFFF to #FF000000, then it will fix the Settings, but then the Messaging app will have black on black. The solution is to make the Settings app completely indepedent of TWFramework values by individually setting it's own values across the system. This is what would make doing such a task tedious and time consuming. If you're willing to try it, you can decompile SecSettings.apk from your ROM of choice, manually adjust all of the text HEX values from #FFFFFFFF to #FF000000. We'd also have to call upon it's own background image so it doesn't affect all apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 88EVGAFTW:

[General Marketing & SEO] xnothegame:
No story is complete without its origins. We love to share with you the very first white-box environment of XnO!

XnO began its origins from the name "Ice Breakers", the way the cylindrical blocks were breaking. We had 3 walls couple of boxes from unity asset packages. And began the journey. We wanted to take a simple idea and implement in it all the possible depths.

When we began majority of the games were 2D or side scrollers, that never gave the player full satisfaction of real life interaction with physics of the objects. So we chose a 3D engine, as to why "unity" - the amount of tutorials, community support and ease of start was a key factor in choosing that engine.

To be a team you would need atleast 3 components to begin with - programmer, 2D/3D artist and level designer. Not to say one person can handle more than one aspect. As a team we were all on the same page, we want to make a physics based game with focus on gameplay first.

We followed the following steps:

i) Create first level - We used very basic components - rectangle, sphere, cylinder to create a game play scenario.

ii) Create a flow through of the game - Main Menu, Options and Level Select Screens. Once this was done adding new levels was very easy.

iii) In Game HUD - To enter and exit from any level

iv) Uploaded a web version for our friends/family to play.

Once we had all the pieces then we focussed on exploring all the possible depths and variations in the gameplay that can be achieved to make the game engaging and fun. In our case - target variations, introducing obstacles, power-ups, use of accelerometer to enhance gameplay. Once we had built the key features in, we explored on how to increase difficulty of the levels as the game progressed. At this stage we made some of our models, used some from unity and still used royalty free music.

Once we had good 20 levels working with all the above, we started showing it to people who either played a lot of games or were in gaming. This gave us a good insight on how improve.

As an indie developer it was so much easier for us to do the white-box the way we did because we focussed on Gameplay and Game Design, not so much on the art in the beginning. So when we got the feedback to change, it was so much easier to do it. We were never set in stone.

XnO is our attempt at making a 3D game with as close as possible to real physics without sacrificing the gameplay and memory footprint of the game. XnO is now available on Google Play and Amazon App Store.
