[Q] Charge Port Compatibility - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I have a samsung galaxy s3 I am currently trying to fix. The charge port is busted on it so I am going to replace it. The one who I am replacing it for wants to go the cheapest route. So that posses my next question I have spare parts for a samsung galaxy s1which include a charge port. Is this charging port going to be universal with the s3 or not. Thank you for your time and thank you for taki g the yime yo consider this post and reapond in advance.

No, I don't think you can just switch them out. Why not try Ebay? That part won't be too expensive to replace.

[Q] S pen mod for gs3 i9300?

Hey guys I'm a noob, I've been thinking about it for a long time, since the note 2 uses a Wacom digitizer would it be possible to mod the Wacom digitizer to replace the normal digitizer on the gs3??
Should be fairly simple
haha, genius
I know you guys are mocking me, but seriously it does use a wacom digitizer, which is why the pen won't work on any phone except for the note 2, it should be possible to mod the digitizer and plug it in to the motherboard of the s3 im willing to try this on my s3 if someone can get me going in the right direction

I don't think anyone is going to waste time trying to figure this out when the screen sizes are completely different.....let's face it, if you want a note instead of an s3 wouldn't it just be wiser to buy one in first place? You're never going to get a working phone out of it for the exact reason I illustrated in first place

if someone does commercially sell a modded version of the s3 screen, it would atleast cost 320$ + , which is alot just for a small feature as per me, but maybe your opinion varies.

[Q] Spare parts

Anyone can link me a website that sells spare parts for the SII?
Normally I'd buy spare parts at www.cnn.cn, but they don't have anything for the SII anymore.
I prefer not to use Ebay for spare parts.

eBay is very good.I got myself a new speaker for my phone from there very cheap
If you know what you're looking for and research the seller before you buy, eBay is a good option....I just recently purchased a replacement usb charger board without issue

Need Help ASAP... Charger and usb

Well fellas, recently bought a Galaxy Tab2 10.1 GT-P5113, and no charger was included . I need to order one ASAP. Ive looked on amazon and ebay, found some but amazon reviews state that it will charge at a very slow rate. I dont want something like that. Not sure if i need to buy a special charger required for this model or what. Can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction? all help is appreciated. Thanks guys!

I purchased one on amazon and had no such issues with slow charging. It was awhile back so I don't remember exactly which one I got. It was just a generic charger labeled for use with Samsung.

My girlfriend Galaxy s2 is having a lot of problems

Hey Guys,
My girlfriend is having alot of problems with her phone lately.
It was turned off occusionaly during the day.
I've replaced the rom on her device and though it would fix it.
I bought the akku polarcell 1800mah for her because I had good experience
on the past with polarcell battery for my previous galaxy s1.
Guys I don't really know what to do and my girlfriend is counting on me to fix this ..
I told her to put some papar near the battery to have it better grip with the electricity circuit.
Maybe there is a Corrosion- how to fix this?
Guys,
Please let me know your input on this and how to solve this.
Looking forward for any input- thanks in advance.
All the best!
thanks you guys
Be nice and get her a new phone. Keep the S2 for your ownself. Problem solved!
You can't really fix corrosion, because it tends to spread slowly throughout the device over time. It depends on what's damaged, if you're lucky it might only be the USB board which is cheap to replace, if it's components on the motherboard then replacing that is more expensive, if it's through the whole phone it might even be a bin job because it's probably going to continue to get worse over time.
Only way to know for sure is to take it to someone qualified (I.E a mobile repair shop) & have them take a look.
Edit - Or...You could replace the USB board yourself & see how that goes. It's easy/quick/cheap (~US$10) to do yourself, search for KeithRoss39's guide in General (search for 'replacing USB charger board' or similar), and if you're lucky this solves the problem. If it doesn't, then you take it someone qualified for diagnosis (and in changing the USB board, as you're pulling the phone apart, you'll be able to see if/how much corrosion is there).
Thanks for the quick replies.
The issue is we don't want to invest money in this and would rather staying with the phone as it is if needed.
How can I make it better?
Any Idea?
Did you even read my post ?
You can't. It's obviously something hardware-wise going on. You can either take that advice & possibly fix the phone, or put up with it in its current state. There isn't anything 'easy' you can do.

[Q] connect a S2 display to a S3 motherboard

Dear XDA members,
First of all, I want to apologize for my bad English...
I have an S3 with a broken screen. My phone gets on, make noises, but I have no picture.
My wife has an old S2, it is possible to connect my S3 motherboard to the display of the S2? The connectors look the same, but does it works?
I know that the resolutions of the S2 and S3 are different, but all I need to the is to make a backup. (USB port is also broken )
Thanks.

Pretty sure that would just fry the display of the s2, because it is different hardware than the s3.
Thanks for the reply...
The story continues to find a S3.

Sorry I can not help you the way I had in mind.
With your original problem I would of sent you an old s3 complete screen assembly I have to either use to copy data or use permanently.
I swapped it out because of a bad glass replacement done by a local shop but it still works and functions...most of the time. Sometimes the touch doesn't work for a few seconds but the Netherlands is to far away.
Sorry for raising hope

Thanks for your help and your offer.
I can borrow a S4 or Note3, is it possible to connect one of those to my S3??
Thanks guys.
I think this won't work pretty well. I know that it is the same type of display: Super AMOLED capacitive TOUCHSCREEN, 16M colors, but the site and resolution is different. And the next question is, if the connectors really fit in!
