I assume it is the same as an MHL connector. My questions are 1) Does it also charge your phone so it doesn't die if you're trying to watch a movie on an HDTV and 2) For the following product linked below, what is that small connector for that's next to the part that plugs into the back of your TV? I see that the other end of it plugs into your phone but can't figure out what the 3rd connector is for.

Maybe some more details to sort it:
- did the rom boot normal
- "down left corner" of what, the button or the touch display
- if you boot into bootloader or recovery, then is it ok, is the power button working, is the touch screen functional in touch recovery?
it's no the rom problem,in the corner where is het home" soft button
if I reboot to bootloader it's working if I press hard the corner,and the touch screen is workig fine in touch recovery

You can find lots of videos on youtube. My guess is you'll need a new screen if it's the cable. If it's the connector on the motherboard you'll probably need a new phone ?
wow,it's not a chance tobrepair this old?
Sent from my HTC X515d using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You need to be very skilled to solder parts that small and not destroy anything. Anyway, it's cheaper to buy another used phone than to replace screen or motherboard than replacing anything with new parts. And if you buy another phone you still have spare parts you can use if needed or sell them to get some of your money back

Not very, why not just get a wireless charging dock and a wireless charging back cover for your s4 and cancel the replacement?

I agree have someone fix it or look on YouTube for a step by step guide. MDK is too valuable to loose! That's why I'm so careful with mine, I've gotten so used to aosp I couldn't go back to touchjizz.

as myself previously having a MDK S4 rooted in all AOSP glory and having to get a replacement and stuck with safe strap now. you really really want to keep your phone and fix it yourself. This phone is a POS when not AOSP.

Well not true. There are wireless connection methods used everywhere with this phone: I happen to use Hyperdrive Rom's FTP transfer to connect my MDK S4 to my home's wireless network, to transfer files between phone and computer. You can do everything you need to wirelessly: charging, and file transfers!!
You don't need to fix anything, just buy the wireless charging thing, and do wireless file transfers!
Plus we've got removable batteries. I've got two spares and an external charger/dock. I just rotate the batteries while charging isn't available.

Oh, good point. Well, I guess if you need to use one of those things, you'll have to replace the USB port, or lose your MDK. Sucks, but I'd go for replacing the USB port any day. It's a good opportunity for learning more about how phones are put together, too.
UPDATE: Ordered the part from Amazon, got it in about 2 days. Took about 10 minutes to swap, and that was only because I was having a hard time putting the super small screws back in. Everything went well and I have a working usb port and kept MDK!

Also beware of this before you buy:
I purchased this product because my Galaxy S4 USB port stopped working. I installed the replacement part and so far so good - my phone charges again! I initially had a microphone problem (which others have mentioned here), but I was able to resolve it by removing an orange / amber colored piece of protective tape that was covering the microphone port / hole.

That's the one I was looking at. But it said 17-31 days shipping when I ordered. So I cancelled. Appreciate the response.
It's a hardware button that slots into your 3.5 mm headphone socket and can be used as a shortcut for a number of apps like camera shutter or flash.
May be useful to some.. Can't go wrong for 24p delivered..

It's no bigger than the cutouts for the headphones on most cases so this should be fine to use on a phone with a case. It is in fact the same size as most headphone connectors so if a headphone fits so will this. Just an excuse to spend 24p really lol that's why I bought one, no reason to.. No reason not to. Although I do think being able to activate the flash with one click even with the phone in standby is pretty useful for me personally.

Any effect on battery life?
My G3 (D855) seems to be having issue detecting anything that I plug in the headphone jack other than the stock headphones that came with it. I tried plugging in the pressy button and a portable speaker on separate occasions but they were only detected momentarily. The button works fine on my old phone which is a galaxy note n7000 so I'm pretty sure it isn't spoilt.
Anyone has any clue about this issue? Otherwise I'll probably send my G3 for repair since it's still obviously still under warranty.
I am having issue with Pressy on g3 and my other phone so it's not the phone it's Pressy.

Sounds like a software problem with compatibility? I don't see why some work and some don't.. Hopefully gets fixed with an update.

The OEM desk dock works great for me. It doesn't sync but has USB 3.0 connections and chatted very fast. It has a stereo speaker jack too.

I have one by victsing.com (I can't post links yet :/)
It's supposed to be able to connect via 3.0, but mine doesn't :/ that's not exactly the worst thing in the world for me. The dock itself is small and connects via a USB 3.0 cable (I just use my original samsung one) the dock also has a slot for an extra battery so you can charge a second battery while you're using your phone on it. It's a solid dock for $13ish.
