Can anyone tell me if its possible to buy a few meters of flex ribbon cable and attatch it to the ffc connector for the rear 8mp camera? I have a s3 and a s plus that i can use for a backup camera in my car.
I very much doubt anyone had ever thought of trying that before, doubt it will work due to the signal loss and resistance.

So I got my ffc yesterday which is a rev2. I installed it and it is looking sweet. However when I try to use it I just get a black screen and the camera app crashes. Searched the forums and the internet and couldn't find the answer. Do I need to download a driver or something?
Thanks guys!

The FFC is working for me on Passion V11.
So I have tested the camera. The rear camera works wonderful but as soon as I switch it to the front it goes black and it shows scn in the top corner. Does anyone else have this issue with their FFC mod? I have tried it on Passion and CM9.

I don't think its a software issue. Open up phone and try again I guess.

So I tried it again and I agree with you. I looked at the camera again and they had soldered a copper wire from one little circle to one of the connector pins where the camera connects to the phone. And during the process it goes over 4 or so other of the little circles. I wrote into the company I bought the camera from and sent them pictures of it and I will ask them to send me a new one.
Thanks guys for helping me out!

I am having the same problems, did it end up being a faulty camera?
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.

I was trying to remove the cover quickly and I by accident removed a metal contact, as it shows on the pic. anybody knows what is that for? just for NFC? I tried to search online but found not much info on this.
thanks.

I don't think it's for NFC. I believe the one on the bottom left is for NFC. Might be wifi or something else.
I still have the metal contact, does anybody know how I can put it back? Or may be take it to a sprint store to get it fix? But I dont have insurance though.
I haven't notice any problems anyway.
Thanks for any help.

It looks like the NFC antenna. Shouldn't be much of a issue. Everything should work just fine. If you're signal goes weak or can't get lte then have it fixed it shouldn't be too hard. I could fix it at work in 5 mins.

soldering is the only way to fix this i guess right? Well if I see any future problems, I think is going to be a nice way to start learning how to solder lol.

Yes but you need a heat gun. A special heat gun or take your phone apart not something to learn on. If you can't surface mount solder already don't try you will do more damage then good. I wouldn't touch some else's phone much less mine to solder that contact. It's in a tricky and hard place to solder. I've been soldering on surface mount for 7 years and don't know if I could do it.

I've found that my problem is my charging Jack on the phone.There is something mechanically intermittent. Does anybody know anyone who might do this work instead of sending it back to the factory? I'll be happy to pay well.

Is it charging then not charging? On my old one my charger flex cable went bad and I had to replace it because eventually my phone stopped charging all together. Its like a 10 dollar part and takes about 15 minutes to replace. There are guides on YouTube to talk ya through it.

I had issues with the usb port cutting in and out when connecting to charger or computer,
Changed cables and did nothing same deal,
Then I changed roms and some magical way it fixed it not sure how that all worked out but maybe this will help,
goodluck
I sent it away.
For forty dollars it came back as good as new and the old part was obviously defective.

Sometimes you need to clean the lint out.

Yes, but the troubleshooting process is to go from simple to complex, from cheap to expensive. Cracked solder joints and lint would both give intermittent errors.
It was a suggestion, not an argument.

I understand that. I just wanted to make it clear to others that when the simple solutions don't work, and you're not confident of doing the work yourself, there is a reasonably priced reliable alternative.

Replaced Charger port flex cable and speaker still have no sound.
What could be causing this issue.
I lareadt hard resey and installed latest RUU still nothing
It's possible that one of the connections is lose or may have ripped. Check that all the cables are firmly secure and in place.

thanks for replay already check socket with maginify glass all joints and pins look fine.
It's either the other flex cable or mainboard issue... I should be receiving another parts phone in a few days and will better at narrowing down the problem.
