Same problem! Would love to know were to get a new one.
Just use an eraser off the end of a pencil.

I am presuming this is not meant to be a sensible suggestion. What would you use to clean your ears? The metal eraser holder on the end of the pencil can be a bit sharp
They do come off quite easy. Luckilly the one I had that came off was going in for warranty replacement anyways.
hi my friends were complaining that my voice was breaking and vv low during calls. took my mobile to samsung service centre. they opened it up and removed a white plastic part from near the mic. possibly this was blocking my voice. now voice is clear and no complaints. pls see attached images of part that was removed. pls tell me what is the use of this part and hope it does not effect any other functions of the phone, kindly refer to both images i have circled the white part removed in red. asked 2 ebay vendors selling this part for replacement they say that the stock of this replacement part also does not have this white covering and below that there is the mic. any thoughts

Not many Samsung hardware engineers on this forum I guess.
come on guys you can do better. waiting for replies. i had the guts to get my galaxy S2 opened to solve this problem
Looks like just what you said, a piece of plastic that is used to insulate it, and/or block dust from entering thru the mic hole.
Ah - that's the temporal distributor. When you speak into your phone it can take a few seconds to convert that to a digital signal, transmit it to the other person and then convert it back to an audible sound. The temporal distributor uses tachyon particles to convert the audio to digital AND send it back in time, so that there's less of a delay. It just means that people will hear you a few seconds after you speak, but no-one will know that unless they're in the same room as you.
Urm... Wow? My SGS2 can send out signals faster than light?
So it uses a Tachyon Digital to Analog convertor (DAC)?
Urm... where is the flux capacitor located, and if I travel at 60mph, does it take me into a tunnel with swirly lights then reappear somewhere else either in the future or past?

No mate - that's at 88mph
Incidentally, travelling faster than light wouldn't make you go back in time. Light is all about perception, not reality.
thanks but since this part has been removed from my phone by the authorized service centre, will it affect my phone in any way. i am really worried now and from where can i get the replacement for only this part. anyways i received the below reply from an ebay vendor selling replacement mics
Dear varn.dhir,
Dear friend,the plastic part is not have any specific use,please be assure.
Thank you for your attention.
Good day!
no.1-tech????
hi but my old phone plastic part also damaged thats why i ask is there any specific use of this part and is it there in all phones.
Dear varn.dhir,
My friend,our item has the micriphone there but don't have the white plastic part,you can change it from the old one in your phone,it is easy to replace.
Thanks.
Regards!

Code:
That plastic piece is not supposed to be there.
There is another microphone on the top of the phone, you can see it in your picture, and it hasn't got the protection.
That protection is only used during production, the microphone is picked up by a machine using vacuum, so it must have a flat surface. The protection must be peeled off before assembly of the phone.
It is a mic grommet, it should be there.
So nobody else got this piece of plastic? Didn't check by myself...but also got this damn bad mic -.-
I had it. Just took it off and the mic is less worse now.

i think samsung service is taking off these parts on phones having the mic problem, anyone else planning a visit to Samsung ASS to get this sorted.

are you sure this plastic piece is not supposed to be there. have you checked your phone. seen a disassembled phone on ifixit it had this plastic on the mic. really confusing. samsung needs to answer how can they leave things inside the phone that interfere with normal performance of the phone

why not give it a try but make sure the samsung technician opens the handset in front of you and returns the plastic piece back to you. unfortunately i was not returned the plastic piece.

Oops! Sorry, I took a look at the service manual now. I only saw your pic before.
That part is called a grommet, usually made of rubber, it is supposed to absorb vibrations from the case and not transfer them to the microphone. Also helps to route the sound from the hole in the case to the microphone. Yes, it should be there, but it's not going to affect anything else but the sound quality.
Sorry for the misinformation.

thanks, i want to go through the manual. Please let me know where will it be available from online
Here's the service manual.
http://es.scribd.com/doc/56542824/Samsung-GT-i9100-service-manual
Don't worry too much about not having the grommet in place. If your voice can be heard fine by the other party, there's nothing else to worry about.
Except water and dust.
I've had my Rezound for just over two weeks and the MHL port housing is loose! I can literally flick the rectangle shaped black housing around with my finger
I purchased through Amazon as part of the Penny Pincher sale. Anyone else have this issue? I'm debating whether I should do a warranty exchange. When my phone vibrates it makes a loud noise due to this and I'm afraid it might get worse in the future.
Live with it or exchange?

Exchange. Having a function like that broken sucks, and mhl has been kind of finnicky for me anyway.

Exchange!!!
That is an important port used for everything. Charging, data hook up, output to TV etc...
My old phone's port got damaged and even though it wasn't a smart phone it sucked to not be able to hook it up as data and to have weak charging because of it. Had to buy an external battery charger for the last few months of owning it to keep it functional since it started having trouble charging at all. And then I had to copy each pic one at a time to the sd card so I could salvage them because I couldn't hook it up as data.
I also purchased mine for a penny from Amazon and mine has been trouble free.
My wife and I have had this problem on the 2 replacement phones we have each gotten from Amazon. The originals didn't exhibit this behavior. We are going to get two more replacements and hope that they don't show the same issue. It is the black plastic bezel around the port that is loose.
fyi, i don't think the plastic bezel is attached to the actual charging port... so if that's lose, it doesn't really matter as long as the port is soldered firmly to the board.

Exactly. I've had 2 Rezounds, same on both, it's just the bezel, not the port. It is slightly annoying that it rattles when the phone vibrates though.
I have had my tablet for a few days now, and when I first got it all the port covers fit really tight. Over the course of normal tablet use, I've noticed that the headphone jack cover does not sit flush with the tablet anymore. I have not used the headphone jack, so I don't know why it would have an issue.
It appears that the jack is being plugged properly, but I am wondering about the water resistance in this case. There seems to be a lot of daylight between the plug and the edge of the tablet. I really wanted to do an immersion test but I am hesitant now.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Do you think it would still work under water? I have the accidental damage policy in case it does fail, but I thought I'd check on the issue before getting it wet.
That is completely no longer waterproof.
Try fitting the flap from the corner that is lifted up first and then the other side.
loose cover
Mine is doing the same thing I don't use headphone either so no idea why it is not fitting any longer. I am either returning it or removing the cover as the waterproof feature is not too important to me.
Thanks for making me completely paranoid about my headphone jack cover -.-

Cover woes
I was very surprised and annoyed by this as the rest of the fit and finish is so good on the tablet. I have a Toshiba Thrive with port covers but they snap in well and don't bulge. I also have an IPAD 3 but am using the Sony only since getting it. I might exchange it since it was an Amazon purchase.
same here
i don't use the headset jack port but the flops are not that tight..
i have the same problem does anyone have his cover sitting tight like the one on the usb port?
if yes i will send it back to sony, if not they messed up.
sometimes mine fits good for a few minutes and than comes out slowly.
I wonder if certain models of the tablet have that problem. My cover is fine. Model is 13W21, 16 GB WiFi.

Common Issue
This issue is cropping up on the sony site also.
talk.sonymobile.com/thread/140727
A first device that I had (went back because of yellowish display) also had the loose headphone cover.
My current device is fine.
Similar problem just with Xperia Z smartphone
I have the same problem with my Xperia Z smartphone. While the headphone jack cover sits flush, it has a tendency to pop out leaving it open completely. This can happen if the phone is lying stationary and not in use. It must just be that the rubber seal is too tight in the cavity and works its way out slowly.

Thanks. I managed to get it to stick on a bit better by accident. I let my son actually use the headphone jack and when I reattached the cover it stayed in a little better. It is still not as tight as I'd like, but it is better.

I have two - one white, one black, both 32GB. The white one has a much tighter headphone jack cover.
Hey guys,
the other day heavy rain caught me up on the street, thus my phone was all wet.
It rang, I took it in my hands and it slipped away, and so my rear back glass got broke.
Now I'm looking for replacement, please do not send me to sony service, they're gonna have it for weeks and gonna charge me very much.
Does anyone know where can I get oem replacement for it?
Does this look good to you? http://www.eb

That ebay link will probably be your best bet.
I would just worry that replacements are knock-off and plastic.
Waterproofing can probably be had if the same adhesive seems to be used and the back seems original. Would I throw my phone in the pool afterwards? Probably not...:silly:

I'll give ebay a try, thanks mate for suggestion, even now I've never tried my water proof phone, didn't have any need or even courage, but I hope its gonna be at least splash proof.

It seems to me that have no logo on their plates, and they are out of stock for as long as I've been following them,
so I decided to go for this one
opinions?
did anyone try the above link?
It looks promising but did any one tried the link above and whether it's exatly what's given in picture. I tried eBay but it did not carry nfc antenna in it(I've damaged my nfc while removing back), also xperia logo looked fake on one I ordered.
Any suggestions for where to get exactly original part.
