These pictures are of i9100, but we have this part too.
Looking at the second picture it seems to be some kind of antenna but disconnected.

Its the antenna that connects to the contacts on the back of the battery cover.
I cam over from Captivate. It had one of those too. I think I remember reading that someone had found that it was for some kind of external antenna but then I think he said it ended up screwing up his phone pretty bad. You might be able to find it in the Captivate forum. I'll see if i can.

But there are no contacts on the battery cover... are there different battery covers for this phone on the market?

Thanks for that! That's answers my question.
It's a factory test connector - 50%+ of people who try to use it wind up permanently damaging their phone. There's a tiny little switch in there that disables the built-in antenna, and it's easy to damage this switch and get it stuck in the "no internal antenna" state.
Its the LTE antenna.
then how come we dont have LTE?

Really? I remember in Captivate it was a ground connector, not an athenna.
Also shouldn't LTE athenna be part of the cellular athenna in bottom? (Moreover we dont have LTE baseband...)
You guys have to learn sarcasm over the internet better

I believe there's already a thread about this in i777 unless I'm mixing it you with the captivate as mentioned before. Its some sort of external antenna but it does screw up your phone if you use it. I don't remember details

Flip the phone over. The kickstand is spring loaded and will work either way.

A lot of kickstand phones are like this, photon, thunderbolt, some others. But with ours you can turn it over and the stand still works while charging.

Nah, then it would be more awkward to turn it and set it down in landscape if you're right-handed. And you can't move the charger port, the volume rocker is on the other side. And you can't put it on the bottom because . . . um . . . hmm.
Sux to be left handed on this phone, lol, but yeah, the kickstand holds in three positions...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I am left handed and actually once you get used to it(the way MOST devices are and have always been for me) it isn't a big deal. It is awkward to have the capacitive touch buttons on the left side when in landscape tbh. I like it when they are accessible with my right hand.

I suspect the other reason the charging port is there is for the htc car dock and whatever future desk docks they make.
In case someone else ever stumbles upon this thread and doesn't understand what we mean by 'flip it upside down':

So I just got myself a new GS3 and everything seems to be working great except my phone goes to Edge where I should be getting 4G. My brothers GS2 is sitting next to mine and he's got full 4G. I'm fully stock and not rooted. Any ideas?

You sure you're not holding it in a death grip? Just playing, how many bars does your brother get in 4G mode? If he's rooted, he probably has a custom modem so that could be the difference. or you're antenna is just crap.
Lol were both stock and not rooted atm. He had I think two bars at 4G and I had full 3 bars on Edge. It's been on 4G since that but if it keeps doing it I'm gonna go and exchange it or it may be a software issue that a OTA will resolve

Yeah right, apple said samsung is copy cat but better...pardon me...BEST! I really love my s3. It's a beast. ))
Battery life is amazing. I don't think there is another Android phone out there with battery life as good as the S3.
It is the easiest phone to root that I have ever had, very simple and no need to downgrade or any other easing about. It's as simple as installing software connecting to a computer and pressing a button

I'm looking to replace the back cover, housing, and whatever this circled portion is called. Anyone know? I've looked at the mid-frame and it's not it. The raised lip of it.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Oh maybe I read it wrong. I thought it was actually apart of the digitizer, and those aren't looking pocket friendly.
Yeah I was looking at getting a broken one and fixing it but passed on it. I got my note for $225. Already unlocked, in the box. Could use a back cover, the housing. The phone looks great, but I'm just picky.
Ah crap. Looks like I'll have the remove the screen from that section via a heat gun. Oh well.
Yea that's a pretty good deal......and for the housing part.....getting that digitizer separated is going to be a b***h even with a heat gun.....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yeah it wasn't too bad. Since I plan on keeping this one, I'll most likely just get a a case for it and call it a day.

Lately my phone has been dropping signal for no reason. I don't get a blank signal bar I get a circle with a line thru it somewhat like a circle stop sign. Had sim card replaced and issue still remains. Wondering if it is a sim card holder issue. Anyone else heard of an issue like that?

Not a sim card or holder issue. It would give a written error above the softkeys asking you to insert a sim, and there would be a sim card icon at the top left.
That symbol usually means a bad APN setting or you entered a dead zone.
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.

That can't be replaced. I have another phone coming from carrier. If you have a bad antenna call your carrier cause it can't be fixed. I went to 4 shops all said same thing

The antenna module (wifi, gprs, data, gps) has been known to become dislodged after a good fall. Its next to the power button. Perhaps try to squeeze it in? I know its a longshot, but a few xda members were able to regain the signal after trying that.
I like my sleek note .... With my case its a huge beast ... But I guess its worth saving

I'm with you. Since mobile phones were in briefcases I switched to every new model that came along. I am constantly suprised I have had the same phone for more than two years. Even though some nice stuff has been released, those phones don't overall beat this phone in my opinion.
