If you can get three you can get them from
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T-mobile-Galaxy-S-Vibrant-T959-Camera-p/smsng6085857.htm
if you want a single one you can go to
mobletechvideos.com
OR
ebay and make sure its a V0.2_ camera.

MobileTechVideos is awesome! I ordered my camera on 4/4 and received it this afternoon. Going to install it tonight...

Thanks guys appreciate it alot

I second that. I think that you can also send your phone into him (Josh) and he'll install it for you. I think it's like $75 for the camera and the labor.

MobileTechVideos is too expensive for me. Is there any other alternative?

eBay is another option - I have one for sale there now!

Ordered the V2 FFC from MobileTechVideos.com last week. Got my package in good time, when I opened the package, it was the original T959 camera, not the V2 FFC that they advertised. What is worse, the camera is used. Probably an honest mistake on their part, but I am very disappointed and annoyed non the less.
Contacted them about the "mistake", hope they check their inventory to verify that they sent out the wrong camera and get me the correct one promptly. Once I get the camera, I will post my results.
I know for a fact the V1 that you get on eBay does not work well because of the banding issue under low light. I have one sitting around if anyone want to give it a try
Running Bi-Winning V3 on my Samsung Vibrant. I am very curious if this V2 camera will actually work as touted by MobileTechVideos.com. If I ever get it...we will see....

I'm sure that dude made an honest mistake. Just email him he's pretty quick about that kind of stuff.

guys, just got this phone for my wife. i know that site has them for $45, but couldn't find any on ebay. any tips on what keywords to use? thank you!

Exchanged my Galaxy SII for a new one...

And of course the new one has to have a white spot on the lower left side
I'm having awesome luck here, It doesn't look like a dead pixel either. It looks like part of the screen is burnt.

Sorry to hear that but can you not exchange it again?

I'd take it right back in for a new one
They currently don't have any in stock at the moment, going to check back tomorrow afternoon.
The manager was like YO, NO MORE EXCHANGES AFTER THIS ONE.

Then ask for a refund instead of another exchange. Buy it somewhere else.

I have to believe that this guy reports to someone else, whether in the store or not... I'd call the store and get a hold of who that person is and forward on this situation. There's no reason they should push away a customer if they have a verifiable issue with multiple devices. Sounds like a complete d-bag to me.
You should be getting a customer experience survey via sms in a few days. write your feelings there. trust me, they'll see it.
why not exchange it at a different store? You dont need to keep going back to the same one to exchange it.

Note RETURN HELP!!!!!!!!

Any HELP WOULD be greatly appreciate!!!!
4 days ago me and my wife bought notes. I recently discovered today that some spots on my phone do not work with the s pen. So i decided i need to take it back and exchange for a new one. But right before taking the phone back my phone was dropped and received hardly noticeable dents/scratches on the phones side on the metal. You have to be shown most likely before you even realize it has dents/scratches.
Will i still be able to return it or hope they just dont notice it?
Thanks for your feedback!!

Was the purchase made at a corporate or dealer store, or ordered online? It'll be inspected at a corporate store, probably not inspected at a dealer store, and if it was an online purchase, the warranty department will try to get you to put a hold on a credit card till yours is shipped back because they seem to try hard as hell to not do their job. At all. You might be able to appeal to the manager of that store to let you swap it. Can you post pics of the "damage"?
Thanx for the quick response and to answer ur question. Yes it was at corporate store. But i don't want to return it just want to exchange it.

Yeah, I got that much. It shouldn't be a problem if the damage isn't too noticeable, but it's iffy. There's a certain amount of discretion given to managers so you may luck out. Please post pics when you can...I'll try my best to give you an honest evaluation of your chances.
Actually hold on a sec ill get some
EDIT..... NEVER MIND CENT TILL TOM

Safest way to do this is.......exchange for different color.dont tell them about defect it had.then they will blame on u. because u droped it.
Let's wait for the pics before we make any call like that. I say that as a current AT&T RSC and former third-party sales rep.
best bet is do the return over the phone if possible. call them and they will send you a device, on reciept of the new phone you will mail the defective one back. i have had the same problem as you with dropping a phone right before exchanging it and it worked out ok. good luck!

Not exactly the best way. If the damage is too extensive, or a grumpy person inspects the phone when they receive it, his account will be charge for the full price of a phone, and there's not much you can do about it without a lot of hassle.
The best thing for him to do is post pics on here of the damage, because we have many AT&T employees on here who could probably make a fair assessment of the damage based on AT&T's stipulations, as I'm sure they've had to deal with returns like this before.
That being said, to the OP: you should be fine unless the case is deformed or there is a huge scratch through the paint. I once returned my old Captivate due to a faulty external speaker, and i had scraped the paint off of the front speaker grill so it was silver, and I had a gouge on one of the corners that was still noticeable but I had smoothed out with a little very fine grained sandpaper followed by steel wool. Sanding it out will probably not work for you on the chrome-ish border of the Note however.

Could you maybe get one without a light reflection directly on the damage? It's a little hard to tell how bad that is. Your best bet either way is probably to go into an AT&T store, and see what they think about getting it replaced. If you have a device service center in your area, they can do an exchange on the spot for some devices, depending if they have it in stock.
The Note's too new. DSCs won't have any in stock and the only reasonable alternative is to exchange it in store.
As was said, if you can get a few more pics that don't focus directly on the damage, it might give us a better idea of what we're looking at.
This same thing happened to my phone and I never even dropped it. Right in the same exact corner. I pull it out of my pocket one day and bam the silver paint is gone.
Will i got it resolved!!!! THANKS FOR ALL THE THOUGHT OUT ANSWERS AND HELP.
took it in and was straight forward with them. Went in a corporate store down the street and was able to get an exchange done immediately.

Free hard drive

Three, actually. I know it sounds like spam, but I'm dead serious guys. I also know that this really belongs in member found deals, but I wanted my photon family who's helped me so much to definitely see it. Anyway, details.
Staples has three iomega hard drives on clearance in the store. Well, I happened to get email coupons for those same three hard drives that offered more off than the total purchase price (yes, the coupons are valid on the clearance price), making them free. I have personally used all three and shared them with family members - they work over and over again.
One staples I went to didnt show one of them as being on clearance, but when they checked it was after all. I can't guarantee that they're all on clearance everywhere tho.
Two are attached as screenshots directly from my staples app. The third is a link as I had to hunt it down this afternoon - it had mysteriously disappeared from my app since last night. Hope they work for you guys. Enjoy!

Just tried the 500GB one, didn't work. The stores manager said the coupon was sent out by mistake and they would resend the updated one next week. Oh well worth a shot I think, maybe your staples will work

Damn, that sucks. The two stores by me ran out of stock before anyone caught on I guess. Still worth a try I think, especially the other two, since I know the coupons weren't pulled from the website until about 3 or 4 hours ago.
I hope someone gets one or two at least before the coupons quit working.

I kinda thought that myself. I figured they had to and that was why the coupons started disappearing so no one else could use them.
They had all three coupons at the service desk, so I don't know. The one by me is not very big or busy so I don't know why. They just said to come back next week with an updated coupon. I'm going to try another store today or tomorrow

You can find the replacement on ebay, price isnt to bad either. This video shows an opened one, and in the description he explains how he opened the phone without destroying it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTkedw4_27k
It will probably be a little difficult so take your time and don't try to force anything. Also take pictures or video so others can see how it went. Good luck to you buddy, i hope you are able to get your phone working again. Such a great phone, i would hate to see you lose it!
I think etrade supply sells it as well, a quick google search should help.

Good luck man. According to AndroidCentral, iFixit gave the HTC One a 1 out of 10 score for repairability making it one of the most difficult phones to repair. Everyone should make sure to buy insurance.

Anyone want a free Samsung S-view cover? (wireless charging model)

I just got my ballistic SG Maxx and I love it. Rather than going on eBay and selling it I figured I'd see if anyone here had use for it. No charge of course if maybe someone could reimburse me for shipping when they receive it. It's in great condition.
EDIT: Please don't say you want it and then just sell it on eBay. I want someone who actually wants one that maybe couldn't afford it to have it.
EDIT 2: WINNER Congrats to DOG666 for being our winner! I'm sorry to all who didn't win, I kind of picked randomly and he was the first to PM me. If I don't hear back from him soon with his address I will pick a second winner! And keep your eyes peeled for some similar giveaways I plan on doing in the next two months. Round of applause to the GN3A forum for being such good sports. Keep up the good work guys!

I was just about to jump in and say I'm interested but... aw well. Whomever gets it enjoy.
I've been trying to get one for so long but I'm a cheapskate! I would have given away my OEM wireless cover, Spigen Slim Armor, Bear Motion bumper, and more. I've already given away an unused Caseology case and ordered a battery door with microSD/SD adapter I didn't need (to experiment on for others here who asked me to) , so I'm already paying it forward.

I doubt it will get to me but I would really love this case. I currently just have the cheap Spigen case and it doesn't offer much protection. I have looked at this case for awhile but just never had the extra cash to get it.

Thank you! I never knew about XDA until I got my Note 3 and the forums have helped me from day 1 of my purchase. Seeing as how they are expensive cases and I recently started doing well financially (well... better than I was at least haha) I thought I would make someone smile!
