Hello everyone,
I have a rooted Skyrocket with Cyanogen mod 11 Kit Kat 4.4.2
Now I bought a flex cable for it, model # i727, rev 4.6 off of eBay.
Opened up my phone and replaced the older one, but the mic still doesn't work. When I make phone calls I have to put the phone on speaker in order for it to work, I don't know why that is the cause. I've spent money on this already and want to know if you guys have come across this problem at all. Thanks!

Hi, I know this is a really old question, and I've long since switched to my S5, but as for the microphone, I did have the same problem with my skyrocket. It turned out to be the fact that the tiny little hole for the microphone had dirt in it. I poked it with a pin, blasted some compressed air on it, good as new. My wife will actually uses the phone every day. ☺ best of luck

No one outside the USA cares for that damn charger?

It has NOT been officialy released by Samsung. There are many accessories for the S III that have been announced and demo'ed by Samsung that are yet to be officially released (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-accessories-unveiled/)
What Verizon is selling is a kit (case + recharging base) that installs not only on the S3 but on a series of devices (just changing the case). It doesn't use the S III's built in features, but rather it brings the "intelligence" to a case that must be attached to the phone.
This is what I know about it: http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/04/verizon-samsung-galaxy-s3-wireless-charging-kit/
Other than that, I've seen DIY hacks and mods, but that's all.
You have, however, an intriguing point: not many people really care about wireless charging. I, for one, don't care about it, since plugging the phone to the USB is just as easy + allows me to have access to the phone's int. + ext. storages.
Sign me up for wireless charging, don't need it but I want it. This is what [email protected]$ me off abaut Samsung! I want to get the accesories right from the beginning and not years later or comming soon. Same game with the Note 10.1 you can purchase one since 3 weeks ago but a cover for it nowhere in sight? WTF? Impossible to build a simple cover faster than a smartphone?

They should release it soon, I'm waiting on it since the beginning.
What's the use of showing it, but not releasing it.
What the hell are they doing there?!? You almost think those chargers are still on it's way from Mars...
It's worth having for this reason - one of the biggest causes of broken handsets is defective usb ports caused by constant pluging/unpluging - both my x10i suffered from this plus daughters sgs2 - saving the usb port for only data access plus occassional charging could seriously extend the life of the phone
Exactly, mine didn't connected anymore with pc because of broken usb-port.
I just want to lay it down and get it charged, without the need to plug it in everytime.
I guess I don't keep my phones long enough to break the USB port. For the last 6 years, I've had a phone for at most 1 year.
If the USB port can't withstand a few inserts/removals, than it's Samsung's problem, not mine, and I'll do whatever I can to have warranty cover than problem.
Well I got it replaced under warranty, but was weeks without phone...
I hate to use an other crappy phone in the meantime, so I prefer preventing that
Wireless crap still not there aha that s3 is real crap.. viva galaxy s2!

Hello all
I recently purchased a used at&t i777 and i am getting horrible reception and lots of dropped calls. I love the phone but it is basically useless as I am only getting 2 bars in known areas of great coverage. I have flashed back to stock at&t ics rom and opened the phone up and replaced the loud speaker/antenna without any improvement. Ihave also tried flashing all the modem roms I could find without any improvement. Right now I am open to any other suggestions.

Problem solved if anyone else has the issue.
I changed the Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon and every thing is back to normal.
Thanks for the feedback :thumbup:

jrod,
I had problem with the 1st cheap one I bought from china off ebay. I bought one from a USA seller for a dollar or two more and it works flawlessly.
Its weird how the charging port effects it. On my i777 it got a little wet inside the port. Could tell this by corrosion when taken apart. Waiting for flex cable to come in so I can charge it up.

Screen turns off when placing phone to ear as expected however does not come back on when pulled away. Only after the 2nd party disconnects will the screen come back on after pressing power button and the only to the lock screen. This is a new issue. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

Maybe faulty proximity sensor. I had that issue in my galaxy nexus. Ended up getting a new one

Call insurance. Get a new one or refurb for that matter.

Are you stock? Rooted? I ran into this issue a few times with persus kernel.
I'm having the same issue. Anyone find a fix for this?
Just got off the phone with Verizon. They're sending a replacement. Something wrong with proximity sensor. Actually appears to be a speck behind glass over sensor.

I have also been having a bit of trouble with the same thing. On top of the screen not always coming on when I move the phone away from my ear during a phone call, sometimes when I pull up the keypad while on the phone and attempt to press a key, the screen will turn off. I think it's because the shadow of my hand makes it think it's back up to my ear. I see two little sensors next to the camera; one of them appears to have a little speck or dot on it. Maybe a piece of dirt in it? Can somebody who doesn't have this problem check and see if they see a very very tiny dot on the sensor closest to the in call speaker?
I've been having the same issue with my Note 2, I was wondering if this could be a software issue since I have messed with a few roms but decided to go back to stock. I've been looking everywhere for a solution, even went as far trying to find replacement files to see if that would fix it, but to no avail. I guess I'll have to replace the device.

Have you received your replacement?
If you have, did they send you a certified like-new or a brand new replacement?
Thank you

I have found a fix for this, at least for me, as I mentioned in an earlier post I had flashed a few ROMs, decided to search the other carriers galaxy note 2 forums and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070360&highlight=proximity+sensor
Luckily there is a Perseus kernel for verizon too here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048013
Will do this later and report.
Edit: the perseus kernel by itself didn't do the trick but beanstown's stock root/deodex and jelly 'beans' roms did! I now have everything working like new with cleanrom installed

You probably got one that was repaired in China. Hate getting phones from the Chinese, cheap but poor quality. Thanks

Hey guys, so I picked up a galaxy note 2 the other day and it's been great but after a few days I noticed the the vibrate had gotten louder and different sounding and I figured out that it is caused by the s-pen rattling when the phone vibrates because it feels slightly loose in the slot because i can kind of move it back and forth when it is in there and I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem? or if not I might go swap devices at the store if I'm the only one with the issue. Thanks
Mine is pretty tight, take it back and get another one.

thats what she said.
Yeah mine is nice and snug in there. I'd have them swap it out for another phone.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I mean it doesnt like jiggle around if I shake the phone, I can just slightly move the end when its inserted in the slot. But I guess it is loose enough in there or something so that I can hear it when the phone vibrates, I think I'll head to the verizon store today then

I had this same issue on my other phone. I swapped it out due to speaker issues, and my second phone doesn't have the same issue. On my previous phone, my friend tried to jam the S-Pen back in the slot without putting it in the proper direction. Anyways, I used the S-Pen a lot initially and now barely use it. I'm wondering if those who say they have a snug s-pen fit, utilize the s-pen a lot?
Anyways, i'd take it back if you can. If it was with assurion/replacement, i'd just say deal with it because most likely it'll happen again if you use the s-pen a lot.
Im still within the first 14 days of having it so I believe I can exchange it for a new one

I'd do it then.
Usually I never buy with insurance, but with all the issues that the Note2 has I bought it this go around.
But I still think this issue will pop up again with constant S-Pen use.
Thats what I was thinking.. because it didn't start happening until after a few days of having it, in which I played around with the s pen a good amount.. but if other people dont have the issue I would rather not have it either because I text a lot and when it rattles on 60% of them it gets a bit annoying

Like I said, the people above didn't comment on their usage though of the S-pen... I barely use it now, and it is in there pretty snug. When I first got the phone before the swap, I used the pen for everything.
So I have had the issue, but on the new phone not yet. May as well do the exchange... though if you can.
Im not even sure anymore.. I used a buddies phone today and sent myself 10 texts and it didnt do it on any of them but then I had anothee friend send me 10 and it did it on 5/10 of them

I would first suggest returning the device to stock firmware, to isolate a firmware vs hardware issue.
