OOHHH reallyy?? have you the jack audio piece for me? I really need it, its a black piece which can be detached easily if you remove the top cover (at top of the battery) there are some guide here which explain how to take out the cover.
Hope you can do that for me...

this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742642
on the second picture, at the top, there are two screws (red circle) + one little in the middle (not surronded). If you remove those 3 screws, then you can remove the plastic cover and inside there is the speaker and the jack audio (what I need) piece with delicate pins. but if you think its more convenient to sent the whole phone thats ok too

I live in Italy .
I only need the little gps cable that connects the motherboard to the gps antenna

You have to belive there are really great improvements in signal stability and reception,i can say about 70%.I ve read in a italian forum that someone asked acer about this mod,and after some mails someone at the acer assistance asked their engineers to test this mod;they confirmed the improvement,and even that this mod maybe doesn t void the warranty,because you have not to open the phone.Finally they said they would report about this to acer Europe to have final confirmation.After this mail no new reply.Maybe Acer won t admit fault

well netnerd , believe me or not, but gps signal after mod DOES indeed improve a lot. Anyway Arto's not referring to that mod guide.
Arto, if I find I can't fix my problem , I will be happy to give you my device.
Netnerd, if you don't use it, you could send-sell the device to me or Arto, after that we could share the pieces needed. Unfortunately I live in Europe.

i removed all the screws, i still can not open it to get the parts you guys needed. want the whole phone? i only charging shipping cost (13.50 USD to italy). phone comes with battery!
if you or arto want to pay the shipping cost, email me!

well....that would be AWESOME !!
The only thing's that Italy has some restrictions about vat, well anyway the tax' calculated only on the assured price so I should be ok.
Well, After that I could send the piece to Arto .
Well Netnerd....that would be really awesome, thanks.

Netnerd, have you got any news?
I've sent you a PM

If anyone is facing build quality or Frame crack issues, Please report it here. dont post if the phone is dropped or mishandled by you.
If you are able to see any hairline cracks near the frame, or battery covers then post it here, This Samsung india is lying to me that none of the users have reported about this issue. but i can see so many links saying that intial peices which came from korea were of less build quality, starts devleoping cracks all over the frame after 3 to 4 months of usage. I was samsung fan , I had ever samsung gaalxy phone, SIII disappointede me a lot. I wont buy any samsung products from now on.
FYI...I am not talking about joints in the four corners

For all the ones that say that is a small crack, the phone is not going to fall apart, well, it won´t but for a phone that is expensive, this shouldn´t happen.
It´s the same that if you bougth a Ferrari and the Fascia gots a small crack rigth down the middle, it isn´t acceptable.

Hi,
There are small cracks at the back of my phone near the headphones jack. It’s been just two weeks since I purchased the phone.
A phone this costly should not have these kinda issues.
I am from India.

All Guys from India who are expeirencing the same issue , please write to Samsung India and post the complaint nos here. This Samsung india is trying to fool me that they havent recieved any complaints regarding frame crack issue, I wanna show them the problem is not just for me.

Please let me know how to raise the complaint. Can we raise complaint thru online or we have to go to service centre?

Pease raise a complaint through Online. Go to Samsung india site to raise the complaint, or call them in their Helpline no. and raise the complaint, Just use the same mobile no for every complaint you raise. So that they can track the history of complaints.
My suggestion first call them and raise a complaint and then again write to samsung care through their website (You need to open your battery cover and get the serial no imprinted on your phone). also attach the image of your Phone while you write them

I had earlier complained on the frame cracking issue near the USB port, I am doing this again since samsung india is not acknowledging this issue as in warrantable issue, rather charging me 7200 Rs to repalce the Unit, why do i need to pay if the problem is on your side. FYI i bought this pebble blue once it got launched in india, Those initial were found to be defective with less build quality around the frame. to prove this I have attached the pic of my phone with cracked area near the USB port, With lots of reference link to you, to know that this is a known issue,
Please ask samsung india to contact Samsung UK regarding this frame cracking issue, They are taking this as under warranty issue.

I kindly request Samsung india to get in touch with Samsung Korea to investigate on affected units , The initial phones were made with less build quality near the frame. Wthout investing dont just close this issue , Possible cause of this crack is known as the material does withstand the heat produced from inside, it starts expanding leading to a crack. failing to take proper resolution will lose a samsung fan . Every product from my home is samsung but i feel cheated after buying SIII, one of the worse proudct samsung ever made. if you fail to resolve my issue. I am not going to buy any samsung products in future. consumer compalint will be raised. also the article will be posted in every techincal forum to highlight the issue for other customers who are facing the same issue

Hi,
Not all Indian phones are facing this problem
Most of the people are facing. If your phone is fine then you are lucky. Be happy

problem lies with initial pieces which were shipped at time of release date. It was not a shipping defect , i didnt find any crack when i got the phone, It didnt come out of the box, This mysterious crack starts to arise after a few weeks or months, You are lucky you didnt get it yet, It doesnt mean that your peice is defect free. It may arise after some months bcos of poor build quality, As said it arises due to heat from inside of your phone (Metal frame is plastic , Im not sure about the new peices , some people say they are of good quality bit thicker than the early ones). But if its the case then samsung has cheated the people who bought it initially. still if you had bought recently and still see a crack (see the MFG date).
FYI , I play and browse daily for atleast 2 to 3 hours. so a mediocre user , If you are a die hard gamer or browse too much you would have cracked it within weeks,, Thats the reason it took me 4 months for the crack to appear. Depends upon the usablilty.

Post a pic of the backside, most clones don`t have a heartrate sensor. Als install Phone Info or CPU-Z if you can to help identifying the phone.

Samsung is NOT out of place. The photo wasn't taken straight on. That being said, the inner boxing is all wrong. The packing that holds the phone itself is flush with the top edge of the outer box the entire way around. Personally, I wouldn't buy it. If you have doubts dont do it. Also if the seller won't meet your requests for pics, don't do it

To me the dimensions look wrong, it looks wider than my s5. I call fake. Don't risk it unless you can see it in person

Thanks guys
I saw that the Samsung logo was in the wrong place (too close to the top of screen) instantly so that's why I asked here. But the seller remained certain it was genuine.
I won't buy it.
Thank you!

Exactly what I said, Samsung is in the wrong place, meant to be in the middle of the ear piece and top of the screen.

bezels are way too narrow. It is definetly a fake. Also if you're ever questioning a phones authenticity best way to sort out fakes from real is quickly login with a Gmail and download cup identifier from the play store. Tells you everything you need to know from model to cpu brand/type to camera resolution etc. Even tells you if it's imitating a real phone

I'm pretty sure that "samsung's logo is too close to the screen" and the "phone's too wide" or "the bezels are too thin"..is because of the black sticker/amoled paper thingy all over the phone.. im still doubtful tho

I have been going around posting a link to this website I found which has details about differences between real and fake Galaxy S devices.

[Q] Screen "Self Destructs" - A Samsung defect?

Hi all,
I'm posting this pic to see if anyone else had seen something of this sort in the past:
--> Well it seems I can't post links to ImageShack... Please see the attached .jpg
It first appeared in the beginning of last October - Then I thought it was merely a scratch I somehow managed to get, Despite the fact that I never dropped my phone.
Moreover, when you pass your finger over it - you can't feel a thing. This is completely internal.
Any thoughts?

Does it have the screen protector?

Is it even a real Samsung ?

Are you kidding me? It's the very same model you have - N9005.
If you want I can prove it's real, just tell me what to look for.
Anyway, It keeps spreading towards the center of the screen which is annoying...

So you had a slight scratch already, and you didn't care about that and now that scratch is spreading. Isn't that normal? A crack always widens out!

Sounds like this thread.

Do you really want to check if it is real?
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Refurbishment Check'.
The warranty period was expired, isn't it?

I added the screenshot as requested, see below.
Mfc Date BTW is 2014.03.05 so I'm still under warranty (I purchased it on April actually...)
To the guy who said something about a scratch spreading - I will say this again: It is not a physical scratch. It appeared out of nowhere and I haven't been able to figure out the trigger to its spreading...

Since it's still under warranty, why didn't you send it to the warranty service.

Well I did, they (quite expectedly) claim it's a result of exterior damage.
Bummer.

My new tab s7 nibs.

I was fortunate enough to get stock oem Samsung tab s7 nibs after lot of searching almost every possible samsung official showroom & electronic market.
Grey & white
Hard & soft nibs
Much better than after market 3rd party nibs from china or ubrokeifixit.
But a bit little costlier than aftermarket nibs.

Delhi, India

Do these come with rubber tips like the original? Also, where di you get them?

I can confirm nibs from all other Samsung Galaxy Note S-Pens / mobile devices fit and work perfectly.
I have been using various left over nibs from Galaxy Notes 8 thru 20 with no issues.
I actually use the GNote 10 S-Pen Stylus more than I use the tablets S-Pen for some odd reason.
Amazon usually sells 5 for 5 bucks or so.

I contacted a person who works in samsung for these nibs, as i was also frustrated searching them everwhere on the planet.
Somehow he managed to get these nibs for me by charging me extra money.

I used the tips from my old galaxy tab S3 stylus...they work also without a problem!
I use also the stylus from my Tab S3 on my tab S7+...my Tab S7 stylus seems to loose charge rather quickly, the old stylus does not require charging!
