Hi guys, i'm not very familiar repairing phones..
But to change a charging port on S4 looks easy , isn't it ?
but i just wanna know if the charging port band on "Sprint SPH-l720" (which i own) is the same part as Galaxy S4 I9515, I9505, I9506 ? actually the question is if the charging port for I9505 is working on SPH-l720 ?
Please reply me, Thanks in advance !
If you have a guitar pick and some precision screwdrivers handy, the phone isn't too difficult to take apart. Here's a tutorial on how to do it: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+USB+Board+Replacement/16542. Take your time and it should be relatively simple to do. Looks to be about the same process as taking the Note 2 apart, and I didn't find that hard at all to do.
I don't know for sure, but the consensus seems to be that there may be subtle differences in their USB ports. Either way, why not just get the one that's specifically listed for the L720 model? https://www.amazon.com/ePartSolution-Samsung-SPH-L720-Charging-Microphone-Replacement/dp/B00EZ69E34

I've looked all over the forums, but didn't find a section dedicated to the Galaxy S4 Active.
Therefore, my question sounds like this: Considering that the only major (known to me) difference from S4 I9505 to the S4 Active is the case, are S4 I9505 ROMs compatible on the S4 Active?
From looking on GSMarena, I see that the S4 Active is using the same chipset as the S4 I9505. Are there any major differences I should be aware of? Has anybody tried to install an I9505 ROM on an S4 Active and managed to do so successfully?
The camera is different in Active
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium HD app
As Obagleyfreer already noted the camera is a different model which needs a different set of drivers. Also the display isn't the same - its LCD and not AMOLED. I like the LCD way more than the AMOLED but the changes make it impossible to use an i9095 rom straight away. You have to change a few parts of the system before you can use it.
In my opinion Samsung did a very stupid thing releasing that many different S4 devices in such a short time and without announcing them at the same time. Who buys a S4 active when he's bought an S4 two months before... I sincerly hope that the S4 active will gather a larger attention in the future (hopefully with the international release) because until now I couldn't find much discussion about it. I'm glad at least root was achieved
Hi,
as a proud owner of the S4 Active I was wondering why there's less attention spent on the device.
Just found the guide how to root. Seems like it's not working yet for EU devices

basediver, have a look at this thread, I successfully rooted my EU (i9295) S4A and also restored stock recovery.

Yes they are very similar, but the s4 active has a completely different display and display driver. Which means it needs to have a different kernel.

Hi everybody!
I have had an i9505 for a couple weeks in june before returning it because the screen was terrible (there were faint colored lines when displaying plain grey). One month after the order, the store handed me a different model because their provider was out of stock : an i9515.
The seller assured me that it was the same with kitkat preinstalled. Judgeing from the characteristics printed on the box it looks so, but I noted a couple differences :
- Antutu detects it as a Galaxy Note 3 LTE-A
- the front cam looks different
- there was a sticker on it saying it was europe only
- it appears to heat a lot less than the i9505 i had.
Here are all the things i could tell about it. I would like to know if there are more differences, and if it's a better or worse speced model than the i9505. Also, can I pick ROMs and Kernels made for the i9505 for my i9515?
Thanks a lot in advance!!
A simple google search shows that the i9515 is a "value" edition, so probably its a cheaper variant. If i were you, i would go back to the seller and get back a i9505 or demand a refund.
Good luck.
I just got a gt-i9515 as well.
From what I read on other italian forums it appers to be just the same as 9505, but with KitKat 4.4.2 already installed.
Just found another thread here on XDA... probably there are some small differences as well,
and seems digitizer is not working correctly with touch recovery and CM11

awww if I get all this well, My phone is the exact same as a 9505, but the touchscreen is different in a way that makes 9505 ROMs not work on my phone?
yep, lol
The new Galaxy s4 i9515 is the new s4 model which totally replaced the i9505 - at least in Europe as reported by many users - Some progress has been made on a cm11 rom but still wifi and bt are to be fixed. Wifi, bt and touch use different hardware module from other s4 models.
There are (were?) only one or two developers, and the numer of owners is constantly increasing. Will there be some dev interested in taking care of this and building a fully working kernel for our device? Thanks!
When I decided to get an s4 I looked here for Roms, and I thought that the s4 would be a good decision. After I get it I saw that there is only The i9515 model. No Roms.... Very bad for me, and I am not the only one with this problem.
It would be awsome if we could get Roms for our device.
Phil2sat has been making almost all the work, if anybody is able to help on. In the kernel build he posted here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2768285&page=63 (post 627)
The only important thing to be fixed is wifi. Bluetooth driver in kernel is working but he gets smd3 not accessible error. Maybe (hopefully not) he's abandoned the project, if anybody is able to fix this last issues...
A user claims the wifi module is the same as the one provided on galaxy s5 (don't know how to verify this), but if so it could be helpful.
my Question its very simple

Hey, reason no one is replying is because it is either very difficult or it is basically impossible. I'd say when you are replacing the motherboard you are basically replacing the device as the motherboard does control a lot of things like modem. But I wouldn't think it would work because of the specific bands that the phone built is supposed to work with, also it would be very costly so I'd just prefer to sell the phone and buy a different regioned device G/F/C/U from online. If you do wish to do that, I'd say go with N910F as it has most development support. Sadly I have the N910G and it has "some" development but not as much as the N910F!
It might not be possible because of the placement of every component might not be identical with each model. This is based on my experience with my i9300... but this could have changed though... si your first assignment is to search for schematic diagram of the motherboards you want to swap. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
If you can find a motherboard I'd say wow, then I'd say maybe yes, however, the difficulty and chances of stuffing the device are high unless you're a technician. It will work no doubt but not worth the expense or risk.
In saying that you need to look and compare the two devices internally to see whether the hardware is an identical fit.
I forgot the words "custom rom" in the title sorry.
Is there a favored Android 7 custom rom for the n900s Q Adreno 330? (id say A8 but I doubt its too snappy.if even possible yet. But if so... please do.)
I currently have darklord v1 on here with 6.01. I know where are a few upgrades but is there a nice solid one with 7.0 and the A7 goodies-du-jour?
Suggestions? I you could please not skip whats obvious to you because it is yet to be obvious to me
btw, any benefit to changing my phone to internation from Korean? what? and how?
slightly offtopic: my note 4 went swimming withvout permission. its starts but doesnt charge the battery. and never kicks in after a bright pinkish screen Hopeless or screen and battery maybe? I live where I can get it fixed cheaply but dubious it is even worth the parts.
thanks very much.

Yeah, those don't help with the question I asked about recommending a custom rom. But thanks for taking time to try to help; I will go through more of the Korean thread.
Search, which I of course tried first, brings up a meandering series of different ideas, which is why people end up posting for those in the know to hopefully reply and sum history up.
(Is this not the correct forum to ask? It seems to be from the various descriptions.)
Thanks. I appreciate any advice.
I was pointing out as there are very few to no roms for that model you need to look at the development threads .
