samsung epic 4g parts

Found this website that sells spare parts incase you damaged your epic. I myself was looking for a replacement for the rim around the screen as it fell out from my hoodie pocket into the street and the rim was dented. Phone works ok but the dent is an eye sore...lol. anyways here's the link : http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Epic-4G-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6425.htm

Cool. Nice find. I always try to stick with OEM much as I can.

Great find
Supposing I keep this puppy as long as I kept my HTC Vogue, this will really come in handy. Thanks for passing this one along to everyone.

neato, must keep this one

No prob guys, hope it help anyone that has isues with hardware.

Im in soo need of this part:
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Sa...ic-4G-D700-Keyboard-Ribbon-p/smsng6085455.htm
They are completely out of stock and might not even get it ever as they said it is hard to get. Anyone know where I can get one? Please!

Ughhh why do they have a minimum order?
Also, question about the digitizer + LCD replacement. Do you only need to buy the digitizer + LCD combo or do you also need to buy the front housing too?

The one I ordered is seen here, http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-epic-c-26_1118.html - I bought mine from cnn.cn about 3 months ago and it was $75, not this $120 crap, terrible.
it is the same part as your website (cnn.cn, when I ordered my screen from them, had a LOT MORE Epic4g parts). What I got in the mail was a NOT CRACKED and NOT BROKEN equivalent of my old one which is this:

The link in the OP has a loudspeaker for sale. A little note: if anyone believes they have a bad antenna, the loudspeaker contains part of it, replacing it has the potential to solve the issue.
Also, I'm a coporate Sprint tech. If anyone has any issues or needs advice or a helping hand with the guts of their epic, I'm always available.

Could someone tell me what their price on the LCD and digitizer is for the Epic? Don't have time to register atm =/

They are whole sellers so you may have to buy parts in bulk in order to get stuff from them, I see that even to create an account you need to get it "approved"
But great find man!

Thanks but it requires 5 quantity purchase minimum and I only need 1 external loudspeaker. There was one selling on EBay but no longer. I am in India and bought the phone online so cannot claim warranty repairs.

You can get something like that on eBay for a couples of $$, shipped trough your door.
You can also take a look at my topic about Microphone recording in the accesorie section, you might get some idea

You get that for 2$ in my country.

Ok guys so i understand that its all this possible in your countries but not for example in czech republik... cables are very hard to find to buy and they are very expensive... for example about 30E and also here isnt something like ebay delivery and nokia cables are short... so please take this topic as manual for people that dont have for this moment any other options or have at home theirs old cables for videorecorders or anything else... thanx a lot

Typical. A guy develops something and gets these kinds of remarks.
The questions on why or costs are irrelevant. A developer creates or adjusts something because he can. There is no relevance needed.
Kudos to the OP.

good effort op, but seriously, wouldnt be this way easier? shipping to cz is free and the cable is about 40kc

absolutely agree with u "sousede" but when u need a longer one?
I dont want to sit 1m from tv and also there is waiting until it comes to u by post service... u know im not glad when i must waiting for something and this u can buy anywhere and anytime u want... but still agree with u when somebody wants original cable

does fake Nexus 4 exist?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/351085038628?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I bought the above Nexus 4, I got it today. This is the second Nexus 4 I bought, the packaging and the accessories of the phone is so different from the first Nexus 4 I bought from Google Play store.
It's obvious because the one I got from eBay does not have the Nexus 4 Quick start guide, but LG User Guide with P/N MFL67582702, which is user guide on the phone LG P880? WTF? Why does the Nexus 4 has a P880 user guide?
Do fake Nexus 4 actually exists? Or the package and accessories are different because of regional variation?
photos can be seen here
http://s1150.photobucket.com/user/FinancialWar/library/?sort=3&page=1
The box on the left is bought from Google Play, the one on the right and the phone are from this eBay seller.

CellPhoneForever
Hey,
A quick google search of the company that sold the phone came up with a blog dedicated to saying they are fake and a fraud.
http://cellphoneforeverfraud.wordpress.com/
I think the phone you received could be faked, but I cannot tell without having it physically. The p880 is the code for the Optimus 4X, so I'm sure that there is something fishy going on.

But which smartphone was in the box? P880 is a discontinued one, Optimus 4X.

I think he got a nexus 4 in the box (unsure if real or fake) but received P880 reading materials and packaging along with the nexus 4.

I think that's it. Also the box is shorter as well, but sealed.
So I think they sealed themselves.
But why did they do that? Was the phone refurbished or something?

Can you confirm whether or not the phone is real?

I can not tell if it's really or not because I do not have the first Nexus 4 with me at the moment to make a direct comparison. I'll upload some photo to my OP and see if you can tell me if it's real or fake.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll give it a shot, but let's also get the opinion of some more veteran Nexus 4 users

Go to here http://www.imei.info
And do an IMEI check on the phone, *#06# and that website will give info about your device :good:

Relax, pal! Your handset is genuine. Only the accessories are not Nexus 4 genuine.
You bought a Chinese's version. It is a NEW OTHER item:
A new, unused item with absolutely no signs of wear. The item may be missing the original packaging, or in the original packaging but not sealed. The item may be a factory second or a new, unused item with defects. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.
On Google Play, sell US versions.
To confirm, try update to 4.4.3 from Google servers.

Updates works. But the phone have dead pixels.
Also, the phone is listed as brand new, not new other.

So you have a problem. Open a case on Resolution Center .
This seller Cellphoneforever sell refurbished items like "new one". I got problem like that when I bought XPERIA ARC S one.
Try buy items from Top-Rated Sellers.

How did he manage to seal the box back? And the imei on the box matches the phone too.

Check this site: http://thedroidguy.com/2014/01/distinguish-fake-galaxy-s4-83885#Xq2rAIk7VbXfloiY.97
In short: Does IR work? NFC? How thick is the volume rocker? Does it feel solid enough? Is screen resolution as high as S4 original?

Looks likea a real one. But if something sounds too good to be real, its not.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

It looks like a clone from the pics. I'm comparing my white S4 to your pics and there's a bit more bezel around the screen on the left and right than my phone.
Also that lock screen just doesn't seem right...
I've handled a few clones and the first thing that gives them away is the Samsung logo at the top of the screen and the Samsung logo at the back of the phone cover.
Samsung quality control would not allow there phone to leave the factory with such poor print of their logo.
Inspect the front logo writing closely and you will notice it's not perfect especially the A and G (the G looks like a C almost).
Also the logo at the back suffers from the same poor print. I noticed your logo at the back is missing letters, not a good sign...

Just press volume down+centre button+power button.
If something comes up in Chinese or something like that it is fake.
And if a yellow triangle comes and says press volume up to continue..and when you press volume up it mentions your model number with Knox warranty bit and status and stuff..it is real.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app

It's certainly fake.
The corners are less rounded than the real one, the generic fonts on the lock screen are not available on the S4, why is the status bar green?, the bezels look a bit off and finally, unless you're using a wide angle lens, the S4 in your photos look a bit shorter than the real one.

thanks guys for the replies :good:
yep it was a fake phone, i searched well on internet for a similar looking lockscreen and found that its just a chinese copy and there are so many out there so be careful for that!
i ended up buying a galaxy s3 4G i9305 as new :victory: so no s4 maybe after some months .

LG G3 D858HK Discussions

Hello to everyone !
I created this thread to gather all available informations and discussions about the Dual Sim variant of LG G3.
Please fee free to contribute with any valuable infos.
Thx a lot !

Easyest wat to get root :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906

D857 858 858HK are same hardware. Expecting lollipop but so hard.
Sent from my LG-D858HK using XDA Free mobile app

Just checking in. A D858HK user here.
For anyone else wanting to put a quick circle case for their Dual-LTE G3, please take note that the contact points of the D858HK do not align with the wireless charging contact points of the cover. The wireless charging contact points of the single sim variants are on the upper right part on the back, while the contact points of the dual sim iteration are slightly lower and on the left. Plus, the Quick Circle Case for the simple sim units do not close flush onto the dual sim versions.

The question is when we will get lollipop

You can purchase the 858HK edition's quick circle case, which has different alignments for the NFC, as pictured here:

Don't really have a website for it - I bought it at a local mobile store in Hong Kong

Is there any custom rom for D858HK ?

looks like there is a working twrp img for 858hk
Too bad i am not allowed to post link here

Checking in: I just received my 858HK last week.
The device is perfect, its specification along with the dual SIM was so attractive that I couldn't resist upgrading my HTC one m7 to it. Upgrading from the m7 stupid ultra-pixel camera was really huge
After one week of usage I can tell I am happy with my decision.
The only drawback I noticed is that the model we have is also affected by the screen sharpness isssue of other models mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/hilariously-stupid-sharpness-fix-t2874587
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/fix-stock-kernel-oversharpening-fix-t2951620
I compared the screen with my friend's 855, and the issue is not present in his device. He is on stock rom
I hope our model gets more support on the forum!

I thought the contact points were only for the flip cover to display the clock

I've also tried... Don't think it actually works (My colleague has the official LG Wireless Charging Dock with official cable and adapter, it works for the D855 but not on D858HK).
Nonetheless, it's not recommended to use the wireless charger as it seem to be buggy (hardware?) you can google the issue and read up a bit about user woes...

Are we ever gonna get root support for this phone?
or is the big wait just for lollipop and hope for that be rooted one day?

Slow?

Dear All,
I just want to check in.
I bought the D858HK yesterday as an upgrade from D805, which I loved, but i needed a dual sim. I choose the HK version because it was a lot cheaper in Hungary.
I am on v10f unfortunately so stump is not working. I am willing to root as soon as a solution pops up.
I am glad that we at least have this forum with you guys.
I am not worried about wireless charging as it is slow and risky be my opinion as well. I hate flip covers so the only issue is rooting and being able to use exposed. I hope we will get a solution or guide soon, It would be a great Christmas gift
Happy holidays to you all!
Kind Regards,
