My name is Russ and I have a Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 ( AT&T ) which I love . About two months ago the charge port quit working , so I ordered one from Ebay ( Flex cable , Mic/USB board ) , installed it and my signal was weak after installing it so I reinstalled the original board and it went back to full power . I thought it was a bad board , so they sent me another , I installed board #2 and the speaker on the back had no sound , put my board back in and the speaker went back working . So I had the supplier send me another board #3 . I got it installed , and the Mic wouldn't pick up , I put my board back in everything goes back to normal . So I thought it might be the supplier , so I tried a different supplier , same thing . In total I have tried three different suppliers and I lost count on how many boards I have installed .. Every time I can reinstall the original board and it will stop whatever it's doing wrong . My board Number is SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107 , DRBL12IN BF , 69 . I am at a lost , I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong . Thank You for your time ib6469 ( Russ )

I just did it last week with no problems on one of our Notes to prepare for sale. Make sure you peel the sticker off the new part to expose adhesive, and be very careful aligning the big connector. Also make sure you get the wire antenna plugged back in all the way. I'd saythe problem is your install but if you can reinstall the original and get back to 1st problem it is weird, obviously at least installing that factory part is going normally.
I used ifixit.com guide to point me in the right direction but it was easy, maybe 15 minutes of work, even being really careful.
I used this part from ebay. With a new battery the old beast is doing great, going on ebay soon.
Good luck!
Thank you
Thank you Delawaredrew,
I saved your supplier , and I will order one from them . THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP , ib6469.

You're welcome!
I read a bunch of reviews of various charging boards when I bought one and many people mentioned peeling the sticker off as a must for proper reception. The wire antenna was a little tricky to reattach, it felt like it was on but looked a little askew; a slight bit more force definitely clicked it in farther. I actually haven't had a SIM in it to verify cell reception but wifi is fine.
Let us know how it goes.

I was about to buy a new phone. Now I know the problem is related to the power connector repair. Problem is I throw away my broken power connector and did not record the part number.

You are correct, there are different revisions on some Samsung charge flex replacements however, usually only 2. Your quickest way to tell, other than the actual revision print on the flex, would be that the interconnect doesn't seem to properly fit or appear as a "loose fit" (or vice versa). As for the adhesive on the bottom, hogwash on affecting the signal. You can have it or not, no difference. It is simply what it is...adhesive. Any signal problems would be caused by the antenna connector not properly seated. Your only other possible causes, if your board revision is correct, would be in your actual handling of the flex during installation. Glad to see people troubleshooting as a group. Feel free to pm me if you have further issues and I will happily try to guide you back to working.
Cheers

Hi there,
I bought the galaxy s2 2 weeks back..and the problem that I am facing is whenever i use headphones for the music, after like 10 secs my phone hangs for some reason! I even return the set to samsung service centre they change the entire motherboard and everything but the problem is still there!!
Please Advise!
Thanks

I have the same problem too...i have to remove the battery and set it up again for rebooting....
I have no idea how to fix that but i think it's a ROM bug and updating to ICS will solve the problem

try any third party applications and check problem remains or not...
eg : trail versions of Power Amp or Player Pro
What ROM are you using? Stock or a modded one and GB (gingerbread) or ICS (ice-cream sandwich). Because modded versions have different fixes for them to get things to run stable.
PS
What strikes me strange about your post is you said you brought this to a Samsung service center and they replaced your motherboard.
This implies it's not a ROM/software problem.
Did you buy a used phone? Also I don't know any official Samsung Centers that will replace the mobo for you. They usually replace the phone for some hardware problems like that (but it's possible I guess).
**Because if the service center replaced it, and you still have that problem, then they either didn't do a good job (because they should have tested it to work), or you have some bad ROM flash.
cyberboob said:

Yes they do well posted on XDA .
**Because if the service center replaced it, and you still have that problem, then they either didn't do a good job (because they should have tested it to work), or you have some bad ROM flash.
Thats probably true as well .
OP suggest wipe phone and flash stock GB rom to test .
Of course it could be your music is the problem .

I had the exactly same problem plus bunch of others which led to service trip.
Phone went to local service center and came back repaired, only to work for two days.
They changed the earphone jack and speaker modules on the first run.
Second time it had to be sended to service it had problems witn wifi and bt.
They changed mobo.
Third time proximity and lightsensors didn't work so they replaced the phone.
Last time my phone hung, the problem was my modded earphones.
I ripped the original samsung earbuds and replaced them with KOSS portapro's.
I had miss-soldered positive and negative on other earpiece... I changed the polarity, and now everything works.
Mysterious...
Thanks for the info JJEgan on the mobo replacements. I guess it's a region/location thing. I traverse mostly from Taiwan and Japan, and they just replace units with any hardware problems after they check it.
Back to the OP:
The music plays fine when earphones not plugged in right? I asked a friend who works at a service center here and he says it can be either the earphone jack is faulty or not connected properly (inside case), or maybe you didn't insert your earphones all the way (lol that's a stretch but never know).

Hi.
The mic on my phone has stopped working so no one can here me now during a phone call. I've tried a factory reset and re-installing my current rom checkrom v6. Still the problem is there.
It seems to me to be a hardware problem. My niece dropped my phone onto a dinner plate and got tomato sauce on it. Not a lot but some of it got into the speaker and micro usb port. I cleaned it immediately but looks like it's caused some damage.
Can anyone offer me a solution to this problem.
I'm thinking I'll need to replace the mic on the phone. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to do this? I'll probably replace the usb port as I've had issues with that for ages now.
Thanks
If you are not a person who is able to fix phones and such then I'd advise you to simply send the phone back to your carrier and tell them to fix it. (if you've still got your warranty)
Unlucky :/ Maybe next time don't let your niece near the phone within a 5 mile radius?
Have a good day and good luck with the phone :]

I believe the part for the USB port will have the lower mic attached anyways. I think you're looking for part number GH59-10949A. You can find service manuals for various Samsung phones on www.samfirmware.com. But you'll need to register on that site (it's free) to download them. Passwords on the archive files are "samfirmware.com".

That's because the speakerphone function uses the top mic, not the bottom mic.

Glad you got it worked out.
If you're interested, to help with protecting my USB port, I ordered some of these. They come 3 covers per order.
(I am in no way affiliated with this company...)
I decided it was prudent after reading all the horror stories on the forums about USB ports failing/overvoltage warnings/computers not detecting/chargers not registering.
Hi, I have the Galaxy Note i717 and had to replace my charging port as it had stopped charging reliably. I bought one of the many on ebay for around 8 bucks. I proceeded to put it in when I received it but to my dismay I no longer could get service at all, just wifi. So just to verify it was nothing I broke I put the old pcb back in and service returned. At that time I believed it was just a defective unit, so second try at it same thing no service old one works fine. Is this a problem anyone has ran into before? Any help I would appreciate.

It is quite possible that either your new port is the wrong part, or is damaged.
The port wiring is different between models ...I.E. SGH-I717, N7000, and other note models.
Even the charge cables are different part numbers between models, but visually look identical.
It just sounds like the port wiring is different to me ..
I suggest getting the port directly from samsung...even though it will cost a bit more.
At least then you have a fall back if the port won't function.
Or perhaps have the port repaired by Samsung directly ....
I'm sorry I can't offer more help .g

Well both pcb boards that they sent me have the same markings as the one I removed. They also say on them SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107
So I do believe it to be the correct part. Just to clarify the new boards do charge the phone just cellular service stops. Maybe by some crazy luck I got two faulty boards. I wasn't sure they were going to send me a replacement so I ordered from another company as well so I guess I will have to see if that one works,
Interesting ....
The part seems okay ...
And the odds of two bad ports in a row is remote at best ....
Some time ago I saw a thread about an extra wire that traveled down from the antenna to the charging port....
And users were reporting that this very small wire was being damaged or missed when the port was serviced.
I've never seen this wire or connection ......but I figured I'd bring it up ..
Try a general search on the topic ...and see if it yields a result.....
I just remember it being a big deal ....g
Just wanted to update the post in case this happens to anyone else. After getting the free replacement for the first part I believed to be defective I also ordered from another company as it took more than a month for my replacement, so I believed them to had stood me up. Well the one from the other company arrived today, and worked. Maybe the others were for different networks or something. I don't know if that is possible Rogers vs ATT frequencies and what not but it worked and all is well.

I am having issues as well...
My phone has a Rev1.0_1107 part, and I cannot charge unless I play with the cable, so i decided to replace this port.
1st was from China (ebay) and received no signal, only wifi. Rev1.0_1107
2nd was a replacement from the same company, same issue. Rev1.0_1107
3rd was from a place in CA (ebay) and is Rev2.0_1206 and same issues.
I can put my original part in there, and I get signal just fine... anybody have any ideas on this matter? It's frustrating to have to keep battery swapping and would like to get this fixed.

Noted... thanks. I have searched them out and they only appear to have the cable for the N7000. Can anyone else recommend a place to buy these from?
Just noticed that when it's near my window, I get 1 bar of service... So it's like my signal strength is uber weak. I have a microcell in my home, and it is functioning properly (other ATT phones are connecting just fine) and works again as soon I put the original cable back.
Hi,I have a samsung Note N7000.
I'm have a similar issue,start with high power charging issue every 5seconds.I bought a replacement from ebay company in New Jerse it fixed that problem.but it created a problem when I make a call the other end can not hear me.I email the company and they sent #2 replacement.after
the charging port board was installed now I dont have any signal for service.the pcb# N7000/i9220_sub_Rev1.0.
I'm going try different company.what should I be looking for?I'm wasting too much time on this.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I wanted to bring this to others attention. What Gregsarg said about a white wire running down from the antenna is correct, or at least it is on an i717. It runs down from the right hand side of the board, behind where the flex board connects and onto the little round connector on the flex board, it's probably that that's been missed off of some phones as would be noticed by only getting 1 bar of signal! I've also noticed that the UK version of the note only has 4 brass connectors on the flex board 2 for the antenna and 2 for the speaker whereas the i717 has 5, 3 for the antenna and 2 for the speaker. I'm not sure what the difference is between a white or black i717 to be honest, i'd have thought it would only be the outer casing that had changed, I can't see them changing parts too, that just sounds stupid!
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is not just because of the above, it's because i'm in the middle of fixing an i717 for someone and was searching to see if a N7000 part would fit and although it looks as though it would I'm not willing to test that theory! I will say though that the missing brass connector is also connected to brass connector 2 on the Ariel/speaker module but on the flex board that connector also has a resistor above it which would likely cause an issue!
The part that i'm ordering is from a company in the UK but is a Rev 2.0 board and not the rev 1.0 that is in it already so i'm hoping that's not an issue else i'm gonna have to buy from China which is cheaper but will likely take an age to get here and the customer wants it done ASAP so what they want they get! I will update this thread once i've fitted the part and got it running along with a link to where I got it from.

When getting the part, Revision usually does matter. Also the serial number under the revision number (Usually starting with DRC or DRG) can also matter. Getting the identical one is usually the best bet (albeit not the easiest considering people on ebay use stock images and don't show you the ACTUAL part you're getting.)

I got the new part this morning, it was a REV 2.0 board and after putting it all back together including the white/grey ariel wire I can report that it's working perfectly, as good a signal as it had before and is now charging properly. The link to the UK based seller is here for anyone interested that needs a replacement in the UK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300819833823?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The part is £19.99 with no P&P and arrived in 1 day. Just in case the link doesn't work then the name of the supplier is gravedigga1.
EDIT:- I heard back from my customer today who has reported having problems with wifi, signal and loudspeaker! Therefore the Rev 2.0 part won't act as a decent replacement for the Rev 1.0 unfortunately. I wasn't able to fully test as the customer didn't leave his sim card in and he uses 1 of those weird networks which I don't have a sim for. I have managed to source another UK supplier on ebay for an even cheaper price of £12 and they verified that it is a Rev 1.0 board they have in stock and have put 1 aside for me. Once I know that one works for definite i'll report back again just to update the thread but this time the customer is bringing the phone when the new part is here so it can be tested fully before it goes back to him!
I just find it strange that even though the Rev 2.0 is exactly the same in every way as the Rev 1.0 board that it has these issues although i've not heard of the loudspeaker problem before so I think there's a fault with it anyway.
Yeah these notes are getting really dodgy in their old age. We've decided to basically not fix abutting except the screens anymore because getting the right parts is a nightmare.

This may be a little off key here and if I'm in the wrong thread I apologize but...
I have the i717, bought the charging port off of eBay and replaced it. After plugging in the phone the touch keys at the bottom lit up like I was in business. After allowing the phone to "charge" for about 2 hours, the touch keys were the only thing to work and light up on the phone. I could press the lock key on the side and the touch keys would come off and on like it was on the lock screen but the screen was black. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, please help!
Thank you
Btw, it seemed like the phone was charged/charging bc those touch keys were on...

Pease Help..i717..charge port
Hello ,
My name is Russ and I have a Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 ( AT&T ) which I love . About two months ago the charge port quit working , so I ordered one from Ebay ( Flex cable , Mic/USB board ) , installed it and my signal was weak after installing it so I reinstalled the original board and it went back to full power . I thought it was a bad board , so they sent me another , I installed board #2 and the speaker on the back had no sound , put my board back in and the speaker went back working . So I had the supplier send me another board #3 . I got it installed , and the Mic wouldn't pick up , I put my board back in everything goes back to normal . So I thought it might be the supplier , so I tried a different supplier , same thing . In total I have tried three different suppliers and I lost count on how many boards I have installed .. Every time I can reinstall the original board and it will stop whatever it's doing wrong . My board Number is SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107 , DRBL12IN BF , 69 . I am at a lost , I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong . Thank You for your time ib6469 ( Russ )
same issu
Please let me know if anyone has had any luck finding a board that works... i am in the exact same boat... email me at bnanda0827 at yahoo.com

Well I have tried three different suppliers and I have not found a board that works correctly . Some boards that network strength is weak , some boards the microphone doesn't work , some boards that speaker won't play . I have reinstalled my original board back in my phone and every time it returns back to working properly. I just need the USB /charge port to work . Please if you have any ideas let me know ib6469 @ yahoo . com . Thank you very much for or help

So it looks like basically fixing the charge port on a galaxy note just isn't going to hapen if you want service. Nobody has found a solution?
hello to comunity,
i have the samsung galaxy s 2 gt-u9100 mobile phone and everything was perfect untill i opened the phone, the phone has problem at the back housing so i ordered a new one and replaced it, i made everything with caution and slowly. while i changed the back housing i opened the phone and everything was good untill i saw that there was no signal. i did it 2g and i see that there is onlu on raw ar the signal and sometimes none.
i opened the phone again and checked everything but saw nothing wrong. as i searched i saw that the GSM is this part and the cable that connects the antenna is this one . both of them are perfect.
i lost all my day trying with that , at start i had SlimRom 2 then i put the stock one via Odin but it didnt boot, stocked in the boot image (didnt wanted to search why ) so i flashed kernel again and then NeatRom, still no signal and then i went back to SlimRom. but the problem as i saw is not from the rom .
if anyone knows about that thing and tell me what to do i would be gladfull .
That bit is the antenna c/w speaker.There is a thread related to this about usb replacement.People mention about similar problems when they remove the antenna cable.
Heres a pic of spares I have,and look at the gold contacts on the antenna,as they need to be in good contact with the ones on the usb board.Maybe its that,or maybe new antenna is faulty.Try your old one in to eliminate that though.It could even be the antenna cable.
The thread is by someone whos name is Dugud,or similar
Edit:was close,this is it

thanks a lot for your reply my friend, my problem is not with the usb think i thing, it must be with the cable or i dunno. i had verry good signal and everything was working, now just the signal got verry low.
exept from buying repair part you say there is no fix right?

maybe take it to a shop with someone who knows what they are doing. I just had to do this with mine, I considered trying to get parts cheap and diy then I considered how much time and stress it could cause me = not worth it. It cost me £25 to have usb replaced, second thing I checked was the signal as I see many having problems with this - outcome is my phone is working sweet again and it only took a couple of hours of my time :cyclops:
Best of luck
Did you read that thread?.I seen a post on here once where someone said they removed that white antenna cable,then refitted it,and lost signal.Then they bought a new cable,which solved the problem.
Also, you dont know the condition of the part you changed,and theoretically you are meant to use anti static wristband and mat when your touching sensitive electronic components......lol

Hello there,
I'm facing some troubles using my GPS (i9100P). I think it's a hardware issue since I already tested different kernels / ROM and tried multiple GPS tools without big changes. I just successfully improved the quickness of the fix.
For now, fix is just awesome : 10 satellites fixed in 3-4s. The issue is related to the weakness of the signal. It can be lost when driving near a truck, a bridge or small buildings. Using "GPS test" software outdoor in a clear view, SNR is about 25-30 for the best satellites. I think it's weak !
Do you think it's a hardware issue (probably my GPS module ending its life) ? Which part should I change ? I think it's the module including speaker but I'm not sure :

Hope someone can help me to fix that issue ! Thanks

Clean install made using Odin : repartition / full wipe, XXKI3/XXLPX install, but same issue with GPS. I really think it's a hardware issue.

I don't have service center near home / work :-s.
If my S2 needs to be repaired, I will probably do it myself. That's why I need to know what part to change. Since phone's value is near 100€, I don't want to repair it if that costs more than 20-30€.
Anyone knows which part of the phone integrate GPS module ?
You need the service manuals; they've been posted here from time to time - do an XDA search (or a Google search with XDA appended to your search terms), or a Google search should find them easily enough on other sites.
You could also take it to any local mobile repair shop, it doesn't have to be a Samsung service centre who does the repair.
Got it ! Thanks
I learned that speaker part integrates antenna, and GPS receiver is fixed on motherboard ! It seems to be hard to change GPS receiver without equipment (and experience !).
Will check if speaker part seems good (removing / cleaning it), then checking / cleaning GPS receiver part. Hope this will solve my issue.
I found a local mobile repair shop near my home. I asked it how much it will cost... waiting for the answer
Yeah it can be tricky to replace parts like that if you don't have experience. Good luck, let us know how you get on in this thread.

This week-end, I cleaned my i9100p hardware but nothing changed ! I noticed that without HP/antenna part, I can't fix GSM nor GPS signal. This part seems to be the heart of the signal reception. I plan to change it as soon as possible. This morning, I ordered HP/antenna part :
http://www.htcn.fr/pieces-detachees...ut-parleur-dock-galaxy-s2-i9100-sonnerie.html
I don't know if this will solve my issue, but I really hope for it !
Someone in a french forum explained me a way to improve GPS signal. This seems to be really easy to do. I will try it tonight and test it tomorrow
http://galaxys-team.fr/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=41110&p=634046#p634044
More news tomorrow !
Keep posting your progress, this thread is going to be a really useful reference for people in future once you've fixed it
I have tested the hardware fix linked in my previous post. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve my issue. Maybe because it's a i9100P (NFC version), with a special battery cover. Moreover, I made this fix quickly. Will try again later.
I'm now waiting for my new HP/antenna part, that will probably be received this week-end !
Edit : HP/antenna part has been sent by HTCN. I will received part thurday or friday. More news soon
HP/antenna part changed. Unfortunately, issue not solved
For now, I don't know what to do... It seems that the guilty is the GPS receiver (fixed on motherboard), but it's a bit hard to change. I will check again /root/etc/gps, sirfgps.conf and gps.conf, but I'm not optimist ! Phone only costs about 100€ here : ask a center to repair it is not a good idea, in my opinion.
If anyone has an idea, please post here ! It seems that I have to buy a S3 4G soon :-s
Yeah unfortunately replacing individual components on the board is really really difficult to do unless you absolutely know what you're doing - a fiddly job, very easy to damage the board itself or other components beyond repair if you mess up. And you'd have to source a 2nd hand board to get the components to replace anyway, so you might as well just swap the whole board. Samsung service centres don't replace individual components on the board because it's easier for them to just swap the whole board and they charge a lot for labour.
If you want to keep the phone, replace the whole motherboard; source a 2nd hand one online, and either swap yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop (not Samsung service centre) to swap. But you could also buy a fairly good phone for not much more than that (or even the same amount if you bought a 2nd hand phone).
So given what you've already tried (and you have tried everything), I'd probably be looking at a new phone if I was in your situation.
