[Q] SIII replacement loudspeaker part source - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a replacement loudspeaker/headphone jack assembly as my headphone jack is currently faulty. I can find the part on amazon from a number of sellers, but according to the reviews, none seem to be OEM - slightly different sizes, not perfect fits, difference in quality of loudspeaker. Is there a source for OEM parts for the SIII, or at least a recommended seller for high quality replacements? Cheers!

It's better for you to buy a new phone instead as replacing parts yourself can be tricky and may lead to an even bigger problem. Also you're in the wrong section to ask questions. This should be posted on the Q&A section and not here in the General section.

I'm not worried about doing repairs myself - I'm quite experienced in the area. I could send it in under warranty, but I can't do without it for the two weeks it would take to repair. Just looking for a source.
Should I repost in Q+A or would a mod be able to move it? My apologies, I'm new to the forum and wasn't sure where it should go.

Where to Buy Faceplates / Housings

Hi all,
I think I've searched all sites I know of but am still unable any that offer faceplates or complete housings for our Touch HD (yes, I'm one of those who have the issue with the coating of the faceplate)
Does anyone have a good reliable source which could have them yet?
Thanks in advance.
www.pda-parts.nl
Thanks, but that's one of the sources I know. They don't seem to have what I need.
Or maybe my Dutch is so bad that I cannot search efficiently?
for anyone reading this.. i think he means.. replacement housing for the phone.. the actual pieces from the phone.. NOT extra phone cases or covers..
Of course, I need a replacement faceplate. I thought it was clear enough
i know its .....
probably not what you'll want to hear, but your probably not going to find anywhere other than htc for replacement housing, they'll keep those moulds well under raps.
then your faced with the warranty validity if you manage to source some parts. who's ur service provider, and i'm sure you'll get a warranty replacement due to your devices freezing up / locking all the time. contact them and moan!
i'm sure someone, somewhere will be able to replace due to its software faults!

E-bay is a good source for replacement parts.
Sometimes you can get real good bargains.

Tmobile touch pro 2 Digitizer?

Hi, I have just cracked the digitizer and screen on my beloved Tmobile touch pro 2, anyone know of a place that supplies HTC parts for this model phone? I've replaced my HTC Wizard's screen a few times during it's service to me for 4 years so I would be entirely comfortable with performing this job myself.
your best bet is ebay but becafeful i hear there is a difference in the digitizers for different models
Saw the digitizer at www.cnn.cn. Good luck!
Digitizer
I found a lot of Digitizers but none of them are T mobile. Can any one find one for t mobile.

Try a search. There are several threads about this subject.
As for t-mobile housing I will suggest to get upper housing from http://eyworkshops.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=6780499 (someone try it out, i haven't order from them before.)
then http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT for the middle housing.
Hope it helps
I don't recommend Eyworkshops, finally got a refund after a month waiting for my Tmobile Touch Pro 2 digitizer.
Still looking for a reputable dealer that has one with the top housing.
I sent mine into HTC. They replaced my digitizer for $113. I know it's a lot, but it's impossible to find them, so at least I have a working phone now!
A bit expensive but I might have to do that.
I found these but they cost $23 each with a minimum of 3. I need one if we can find 2 more people we can get em. Ship[ping will be free so if anyone is into it PM me and lets get these things.

For some reason my 1st post didn't take!
Try the AT&T store. A colleague of mine dropped his new iPhone 4 last week smashing the camera lens. On the off chance he went to the AT&T store, and although the part was not there in the store, they have ordered it for him free/gratis. Never hurts to ask! I was dumbfounded when he told me this, but it happened nevertheless.
Guess my 1st post did take cos' I see you posted the same question in both General and Q&A, and I apparently responded to both.
Please don't do this again!

Damn! He posted it in a 3rd???
/ignore from now on!!!
It seems i've made something wrong...
yes i've posted in three forums, just because i didn't know in which one the topic fit the best :
1-Atrix 4G General
Discussion about the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (general, tips & tricks, Q&A, etc)
It is a general question (looking for spare parts) and the forum description includes Q&A.
2-Atrix 4G Q&A
For all of your questions relating to the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G
This is a question!
3-Atrix 4G Accessories
Accessories for the AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G (cases, screen protectors, batteries, etc)
not an accesorie but about spare part, so it is related.
I just wanted to maximize the chance to get an answer by posting in these forums.
Before posting, i've checked that in any of them there was a thread about replacement part for power button/fingerprint reader replacement part.
So please calm down, there is no need to ask for ignore/ban me. As all of you (i hope!) i'm human and we can do mistake and learn from. I did one and i won't do it again.
Back to the original topic
Thank you CaelanT for your answer but i'm in europe, so reaching a AT&T store will be difficult/very expensive for me...
(yes, i've posted in ATRIX 4 AT&T forum, but for this replacement part it doesn't matter, and this phone is not only sold in US: canada, belgium, UK, fance... and this is the only one forum about Motorola Atrix in this website),
It is easy to find replacement part for screen or other part on the net, but i've spent one full day looking for fingerprint reader and found..... nothing!
Moreover it is a pity for a phone which is so easy to open and replace/repair itself (tutorial available on ifixit)
Anyone else has any idea/suggestions/websites for replacement parts?
You posted a question............so I am guessing Q&A not every forum!
This is all I could find in a quick search for parts:

I am having the very same issue and none of the replies here are helping. All I am seeing is persons complaining and sending people all over the place to other post which dont have the answer. I have been searching online for a solution and I am not seeing anything other than take it back to at&t which is not possible because at&t is in America.
Anyways If there is someone kind enough to (1) explain where is the actual power button located (in the finger print scanner or under the scanner) and (2) what to change to get this fix( eg a ribbon, the finger print scanner or is there a button I should buy). I am not looking for a work around what I want to do is change what ever it is that I need to change to get fix.
Thing is, power burton is a soft button sitting below the fingerprint reader, it is completely independant. Thing is, i dont remeber if it is soldered to the motherboard or is apart. Either way, i think tou need to get it from another atrix.
Here at the forum a user posted a site that sells spare parts at low prices, perhaos they have what you need!

It's part of one of the flex cables.
There is a picture of it here at the iFixit teardown:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola+Atrix+4G+Teardown/4964/2
and one with the tape removed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379939
Have you tried ebay? There spares all over the place and if you don't find the flex itself you may as well buy an Atrix with a broken LCD and use it for parts.

Two ebay sellers told me that the flex cable dont come with the power button so I took your advise and bought one that is damage, lcd and digitizer. This will in fact work out better for me being that my digitizer is bad ( already had order one which is on its way) I broke off the wifi button on the board and not the power button got damage.
So for all the people out ther asking about the power BUTTON ITS RIGHT UNDER THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND IS NOT SOLD ON THE FLEX CABLE YOU HAVE TO GET IT FROM AN OLD ATRIX SAME FROM THE WIFI EITHER GET IT FROM ANOTHER ATRIX OR BUY A MOTHERBOARD .. I have no idea where to get a board from.

FFC mod

Where can i buy a FFC for cheap because mobiletechvideos is selling for 45$... and i remember a month or two ago it was only 10-20 max.
Also where is the mod-thread i'm unable to find it between all the threads like this.

Im pretty sure I used "samsung vibrant replacement camera" on ebay and found them.
But you get what you pay for Too!
Mobiletech may ge a little more, but when your buying A FFC you'll see that the cheaper ones are the older version#1 and they are alot grainier with the horizontal distortion issues!
When you buy from Mobiletech, and No!!! I'm not promoting Josh, he's gotten my respect and business because of the service hes given me over the years.
Anyway his FFC are the version#2 which are superior in clarity, no horizontal issues and performance. Its your choice but whats an extra 20$ to buy from someone who gets fresh version#2 FFC's and he warrants them if they don't work properly.
Try and see if an EBayer will do that??
So that's JMHO on the matter!!

[Q] UNLOCKED ATT SGS2 and Ebay??

Hello everyone Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forums.
I just bought the Samsung Note so now I am trying to sell my unlocked SGS2 on Ebay. I have the charger, extra battery, and unlock code for device (in case person ever has to do a master reset). Of course its refurbished 9 has been used for 2 months) but is in good condition despite a barely noticeable, minor scratch on back cover (see pic).
What is a fair/good asking price?
I'd recommend looking at auctions on there that have already ended and get a good idea from that. That's the best way I've found to determine current value of specific items on there.
How about you post in the classified section instead of trying to sneak your ad in where it doesn't belong?

Ummm actually I'm NOT trying to sell it on here. keyword was "EBAY" I simply asked a QUESTION b/c I was unsure if my asking price of $275 on ads I'VE ALREADY PLACED elsewhere was too much or little. So how about you enjoy your night and thank you very much for you sarcastic/pointless response.
Whatever you say. I'm sure that since you did mention eBay that you have no way to actually see what they are selling for there instead of coming in here where probably few people have actually sold their SGSIIs and weren't really trying to squeeze in an ad without anyone noticing. Uh huh.
Lol whatever you say dude.
