[Q] Can replace i9305 motherboard with i9300? Please help!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
and thank you for taking your time to look in this thread. first, moderators, please move the thread if this is not the correct section and second, I searched a lot on google but all there is replacing lcd or trying to get i9305 motherboard into a i9300.
I have a i9305 model and it got heavy fall from my hand and I took it to samsung and they said it needs a motherboard replacement as it has cracks on several spots. and they said i9305 motherboard would cost around 280$ as of right now, I cant afford that much amount and while I was looking for it for some bargain, I saw there are lot of i9300 motherboards for around 120$ on ebay and other retailers. so as far as I know, most of things are same in these 2 models except for motherboard and antenna. so I thought of trying to minimize the cost by replacing i9305 with i9300 motherboard. and I seek advice on is this possible and what else would be needed??
again thank you, and help me please.

I'm not really sure, but if it is possible, you'll probably loose the 2 GB of RAM.

Yes sir, I have been using xda for lots of reading and I know the rules. I saw those threads and I have read each of them.
first google search brings is replacing about display. and again front panel.and then about upgrading s3 to s3 LTE. and then there is only one thread identical, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451777, but it only has 2 3 replys of doubts. So thats why I posted again. Sorry if its against rules. so if you think it is aginst, please close this thread. or I really hope for some help to get a i9300 motherboard into i9305 casing. thank you for taking a look.

[Q] Best android phone for new developers?

Hey, Im pretty new to this forum so please be gentle!
I have made a search on the forum a few times, and had a look if I could see this specific questions posted anywhere else, and I couldnt. If anyone does see this, please feel free to link me and I will read all the posts.
I did read through the forum discussion of Galaxy S2 V Galaxy Nexus, but I just had a particular question.
I want a new Android phone, and I like the look of both of these (slightly prefere the GS2, as it has expandable storage).
Basically, I am a student studying Software Engineering and we are working on Java. I want to be more employable and teach myself more, and I enjoy programming so...
I basically want the best phone for someone who wants to develop android apps, and just wondered what everyones suggestion here would be.
If there are different phones to the ones I have suggestion, please tell me.
Thanks in advanced for all your help!
Dan
Easy. Three words. Samsung Galaxy Nexus! It IS a developer phone, and it also has a large dev community already. I can promise you it will not be a bad decision.

Thanks for the answer!
What exactly do you mean by a developer phone? Because its stock android?
this phone is maintained by google. this is why is a dev phone ;-)
Dev 1 should be the best for begginers, GNexus should be best for whole devs. But because of density and ICS-GB-FY uncompability, you should get more than 1 phone

Id love to, but I can only afford one. Galaxy S 2 is easily in budget and is 32gig, where as the Nexus isnt and is only 16gig But I imagine most people would agree its better for devs...
Edit: Dev 1 says its been replaces bu the Nexus series...so guess that answers my question
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Samsung S3 Jtag

Someone selling a S3 for £100 but said it needs jtagged said its a easy fix Am guessing they bricked it so just wanted to know if it can be fixed and worth the £100 or am I best staying away
Stay away unless he's a very very very good friend!
Seriously you may well be dropping a ton on a device that is completely dead, but you might be able to break it up for profit, the screen/digitizer costs more than that but it really is up to you at the end of the day, it's a shot in the dark
Thanksss ill leave it then i was wondering if its so cheap to fix why they didn't get it done them selfs

Not supposed to help here the guy is pointing out the correct thread for help .
But in my opinion it would be far better to either rename General to Questions and Answers or just have an open forum where everything is mixed up under one label making it even harder to find anything .
But it also reads as a number of users would prefer utter chaos and no rules .
Their is a significant rise in bricked help lost IMEI posts all due to complete failure to bother reading the rules or even the basic faqs and guides .
Sh**** if a user cannot post correctly how on earth are they going to flash without bricking .

The polite way is to answer the question, then point out it's in the wrong section, rather than just spam "post in Q&A" to force your post count up, at least 500 of his posts (assuming they don't get deleted) are "post in the right section" with no help at all.
You two forum police will do much better if you offer help whilst informing them they are in the wrong section.
they need to learn that they will get help if they follow the rules

But if you just spam "post in the right section" it just makes you look like an ass, you are showing no desire to help, just boss everyone around and call them out in public, you can at least send them a PM something along the lines of "I have reported your post regarding xxx question to the moderators so it can be moved to the correct section, in future please post questions in the Q&A section."
This post accomplishes the same thing without basically shouting "GTFO YOU NOOB!!!" that is basically what you put across whenever you post in these question threads.

Thats where you are wrong i am afraid .
The posts arrive in General section as users are to lazy to read the rules and far to lazy to bother to read faqs and guides . The majority just want a quick fix and care nothing at all about what XDA was or should be .
Glenbun takes a months holiday and we will still get multiple bad post jeez as i type this there are probably three more bad posts .
End result is a forum that's hard to navigate hard to find anything as the good stuff is hidden under piles of rubbish piling up on a daily basis and that's what noobs complain about what is basically their own mess .
Time in my view for a serious review of the rules and the layout as neither really work .
Multiple experienced users no longer bother to even read these non development forums .

Instead of spaming the thread just report the post and tell the mods to move it to QaA thread. No need to talk about that.

Antenna issues after swapping motherboards

Hey all! I swapped the motherboard of a i9305 to a i9300 since they are identical in almost every way and needed a new screen. However now when I turn it on it has zero or one bars where it once had full bars in the same location.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be very much appreciated. PS I already tried replacing the signal cable/ antenna from the i9305.
Thanks!
Maybe u can try flashing another modem.

Cut the bickering about which section it belongs to... why even post it in the first place? Just report it if you don't think its in the right section.
Settling this matter once and for all... the OP is asking for suggestions - note the word asking. To ask for anything is to ask a question, therefore no matter how its phrased, its a question and so belongs in the Q&A section.

[Q] I9300 motherboard replace

Hi, i'm from dominican republic, my S3 GT-I9300 died because of "SDS", but it didn't have warranty so Samsung won't change the mainboard. I want to know if i can replace the mainboard with any I9300 mainboard even if it's from UK?
come on guys, i need your help
Please post in the correct sections.
Thread moved.

3 bumps in less than 24 hours. Stop or I'll report you. Wait for a response.
at a guess i cannot see a reason why not, most likely it would be best if its from an unlocked device(network)
@ previous post - beside the moderators post the other is pointless, if you cannot help then dont post,leave the mods to do there job or press the report button instead of trying to scare people away with threats of reporting
if someone requires help and his post is pushed more and more down the list in the index by other post he will feel that for a chance to be seen it needs to stay at least on the 1st page
ive experienced it myself

it doesn't matter, rules are there for a reason
The mobo in the gt-i9300 is the same. You'll get a different imei if you're fitting it yourself.
Have you asked for a quote for the repair from samsung / service centre/ mobile repair shop?

guidelines are there for a reason,if someones new to the forum then they wont know the rules. your post was just as bad as his pointless ones, your not a moderator so it would of been acceptable and within the rules for you to press the report button

wrong. people shouldn't post anything before reading the rules. If you want to continue this discussion, write me a PM, because it's obviously offtopic
