Loudspeaker. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

My loudspeaker on Note II recently failed so I ordered a new one off of ebay. I replaced it today and noticed that is was slightly different. From what I have read the loudspeaker is also the 3g antenna as well. On the one out of my phone it had three metal tabs that make contact with the board and on the replacement one it had only two. I put it in and so far everything is working fine. Is anything not going to work? From what I can tell everything still seems to be working the same. Thanks.

I know it does but the speaker failure was my fault it wasn't a warranty issue. I was doing some metal work on a car and I forgot to leave my phone away from where I was working and some metal filings got into the loudspeaker. I didn't think it was right to try and claim warranty on something that I know was obviously my fault. Also I don't have another phone to use while this one is out for repairs.

Way to own up to your own mistake! I'd say if it's all working then you're probably good.

The speaker is pretty much molded into the piece of plastic. Not sure what you could do to put something louder. Guess you could buy a replacement piece and play around with fitting another speaker in there. Also I had to put my old one back in for now it seems the tmobile variant of the note 2 has an extra antenna in it due to the hspa+. While it was working fine art my house when my wife and I went out when reception got a little worse my phone was immediately dropping down to 1 to 2 bars and losing 4g and using 2g/edge while my wife's note 2 had nearly full 4g service. Make sure to watch out for that if anyone is deciding to replace this part on a tmobile note 2. I found one company that sells the correct one. All the rest have only the two connections.

Good to know.. Thanks for the heads up.

Front facing camera (kind of)

Okay so not exactly. Just couldn't think of a better subject line.
Here is an accessory for the iPhone 3gs that projects a mirrored image of what's in front of the iPhone to the rear camera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFuv4sjMtn0
http://playmass.com/en/iseeutime.asp
Of course my first thought was whether or not it would fit on our captivates. Seems less deadly than the hack I saw awhile back where someone put a Galaxy S replacement front facing camera in their captivate.
link for the captivate/i9000 ffc?? I have only seen it in the Vibrant (which worked really well)
and thats actually not a half bad idea for the mirror thing. I mean really, people don't use the ffc that much anyway, so for the few times u do use it, this would probably work just fine.
Link to the website
Here is the website URL for the product. Hope someone tries this looks like it will work just fine!

There is no Captivate FFC - The i9000 was born with it - just find the product spec page.
I just can't imagine carrying around a mirror accessory just to video chat - if you want a FCC, but a phone that does it.

Those are specialized thermal osmosis transmission ports for connecting the Captivate to an external flux capacitor, in case your Mr Fusion goes bad.

Yep, just what he said. They also serve as proximity sensors when you put the phone to your ear.

Some people are modding Vibrants (which do not come with a FFC) with the i9000 FFC or the Epic4G FFC.
Also "buy a phone that does it" is hardly a solution seeing as how there are so few out. AT&T only offers one, and it's the iPhone. Sprint has the other two, and obviously are not compatible for the AT&T network. That only leaves the i9000 but buying it straight up is rather costly, whereas T-mo people who do the FFC mod spend $16 (yes, the camera assembly for the i9000 is that cheap).
I'd also be interested in seeing it done for the Captivate.

do you know how to read??
I know the i9000 has a ffc, but if you read the original post, he claims someone hacked up a captivate with the i9000 ffc. I simply asked for a link.
alright lets straighten this out
Without any proof of concept for a FFC for the captivate i am calling it BS or not possible. We have exhausted this to no end in the Dev. forum in about 6 different threads and there just isnt a spot for the FFC to sit. If you look at the tear town pictures of the captivate v.s. the i9000 you will see that there FFC and back camera have two different mounting spots. Unfortunately for us there is only 1 mounting spot and its taken up by the main camera. to get the FFC in the captivate you would have to buy the part and then tear apart the guts of the wiring and re wire it so it would be able to literally be soldered on the back of the main camera, then hope you were good enough with that soldering gun to get it facing exactly right through the hole you would have had to scratch or dissolve out of the black in the front of you phone.
Like I said I am more than willing to see some proof and be proved wrong but i imagine he is thinking of the Vibrant guys who also have two slots and have successfully gotten a i9000 FFC in their phones!
Done and Done.

Yeah buddy I can read.... and I said there is no FCC for the captivate (unless you count the one I posted)... there is no room inside or connection on the board. Just because someone claims to have seen something, doesn't make it so. There are links to BigFoot and Nessie on the internet too.
This idea has been around since the captivate launched.
If you want one really bad on your captivate, do this....

You people have no creativity. Thats why i like the vibrant forum. People around are all "you cant" and "buy a phone that does" "and it would de-value" blah blah. There is no reason it cant be done. If it works on a vibrant a similar mod should work on a captivate. I know the vibrant has the mount built in. But thats hardly a dificult obstacle. I had know idea the camera is that cheap and i may just buy one to prove a point to the naysayers.
Also the mirror thing has been disgussed and i wouldnt use it. It looks silly. Id rather harware brick my phone in an atempt to preform the mod than be seen with that thing. But i dont discorage others from using it

I bought the part, tried on my captivate. Was willing to do what it took to make it fit. One problem, the part does not work with our phones. The connection onto the main board is slightly different. I'd post pictures but don't really want to tear down my captivate again.

Connection may be different, but could it be customized or modded to work? Little more solder, epoxy, jb weld, maybe even built-in usb and a switch, who knows? Haven't taken mine apart to check it out in the week I've had it.

I9300 Housing DOES NOT fit I747 (confirmed inside)

Hey so I just got a I747 and I am loving it! The problem is it came in blue/it didn't come with a back door battery cover (I only paid $290 for it too!). Well I don't really like the pebble blue scheme, and prefer the white GS3. So I have been looking for the white housing and I have found it for the i9300, but will it fit the i747? One reason I am asking this is because AT&T uses the micro sim card on the i747, but does the i9300 also use a micro sim slot or a regular sim slot?
Here is a link the listing.

I can confirm that Yes the i9300 uses the micro SIM.
I'd yield to the more experienced folks on here about the casing being different. I'm sure if you dig around on Google you can find someone who will sell stickers to change the appearance or you can always put a case on it. Besides, unless you're really good, that's the type of hardware surgery that can become an epic fail!

Shouldn't be all that hard, just be careful because the plastic frame beneath the back cover holds the antennas, so a poorly fitted install or accidental jostling of the wrong parts on the motherboard can ruin the reception of the phone.

Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Speaker Noise When Volume Muted

I'm just making this thread in the hope that this is a fixable problem, so here goes...
If I mute the tablet by lowering the volume until it is off and then play music or a youtube video, or indeed anything else that would normally result in sound through the speakers, I can hear a quiet noise that sounds a little bit like an old 56k modem trying to connect, sort of squelchy chirps and tweets.
I can recreate this every time, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if so, did you find a workaround or a fix? I found a thread on another forum where others were having the same problems here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-pro-8-4-random-noise-coming-out-speaker.html
It's easy to test, just go to youtube via your browser or the android app and play a video that has sound with your volume as low as it'll go.
Thanks!

I've spoken to Samsung, they are aware of the fault and are looking into it, but they say that it is a hardware fault and the tablets will need replacing. So back mine goes today for a replacement.

Finally got my replacement, it seems to working ok, just a very faint hiss with my ear up against it, so all's good.
I returned mine to Best Buy, (almost) no questions asked. I'll probably wait a while before picking up a replacement. Probably won't get it again until a price drop on the device.
I have the same problem, looks like all the Tab Pro 8.4 suffer from it, it only appears when I open an app/game with sound and mute it. Will be best if we all call Samsung and make them to "report" this issue.

I bought it from sears because I had some points to spend. Took it back and reordered one from them 3 times.
First noticed this playing minecraft. Now it's all I hear and I really love this tablet. Ugh..
Edit: Returned to Best Buy. Pains me to do it but this is a killer issue.
I had beeen waiting for this tablet, Love the tablet but had to return it due to this issue. It's very loud in a quiet room.
I checked at store, even the display unit had the noise defect.
My replacement arrives next week but in the mean time I just taped over the speaker grilles... solves the issue completely. It does muffle the sound but I still find it loud enough that I don't notice the muted effect in daily use. Gaffers tape works well - almost no residue, tears perfectly straight, and has a nice fabric feel like hockey tape.

I'm not gonna pretend to even approach jcases level, but if he says it's a no go Id take it to the bank. It'd be a rather involved explanation for a clear cut issue.
True and i respect his knowledge, but like a lot of people on XDA they are excellent developers but doesn't mean they know anything about the electronic side of things.
Well let me be the first to say I hope to be the first to do a conversion, ive already ordered all the parts.
Sprint Motherboard 150 dollars (Very lucky to get at this price, Maybe hard to come across)
Sprint Back Housing 30 dollars
Sprint rear camera 30 dollars
Usb Dock 7 dollars.
Screen assembly and digitizer is interchangabe. Total so far 217 dollars for a Rootable note 4.
I let you know my progress and if I need to spend any more money.

who got the faulty one u or wife? haha. And same here, im still waiting for mine. atleast it wont be faulty.
To be fair, anyone can recreate this by making a video with an atrocious sound, have 2 green lines on each side, and then keep the backlit buttons on.
That video shows nothing in regards to a faulty battery.
ISIS will now start buying the note 7 and use them as grenades so that they can smuggle them in commercial airlines

Should make a video of how it reacts when you unplug?
Wow wait a minute, you aren't even charging.

can you tell me how to make 2 green lines appear on each side?
it looks like the phone motherboard/circuit board is burning to cause that.
Wow. This brings to mind another SERIOUS problem I have just remembered.
How many of us have had "problems" with any of our Phones in the past and they have locked up and wouldn't shut down even with the Power Button with the ONLY option was to remove the Battery??
I have certainly experienced this scenario a few times over the years with my Note 4 and 2 and S2.
In fact, I set up a new thread regarding this. Needs to be discussed.
my previous samsung, i think note5, cant remember which model exactly.
in the summer when i charging the phone in the car, the phone gets really hot, but it never catch fire or explode.

there are apps that make the device do this when getting notifications. looks to me like its a poorly coded app, or one meant for older edge screen device. there is even a setting in stock touchwiz for edges to light up upon notifications.
that said, the device could very well be overheated

"Set the Edge screen to light up when you receive calls or notifications while the device is turned over".
his phone is NOT turned over.
