[Q] Source for replacement loudspeaker/headphone jack assembly - Samsung Galaxy S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a replacement loudspeaker/headphone jack assembly as my headphone jack is currently faulty. I can find the part on amazon from a number of sellers, but according to the reviews, none seem to be OEM - slightly different sizes, not perfect fits, difference in quality of loudspeaker. Is there a source for OEM parts for the SIII, or at least a recommended seller for high quality replacements? Cheers!

For the price and hassle it's going to cost you to get it repaired why don't you just use a bluetouth dongle for your headphones?

Not sure about your country but when I was living in Spain on Ebay they cost about 5 bucks.I never looked for parts on Amazon cos there wasnt one.Ive bought parts from Ebay for the S2/3 and Note2 and they are fine.Ive even made a complete working phone from getting parts.
EDIT: Just had a look on ebay and from Canada they cost $12 and from Hong Kong $3.Get one and fit it yourself.

Dude, thanks for that link. I'd lost one of my styli in a car accident (long story) and so I was thinking about going to HTC direct. Just bought two from that UK eBay seller for £2.49 each with free shipping
Happy as a pig in poo.
I miss-placed the one that comes in the phone a few weeks back, not sure where or how(it was after I got the new case). forgot that a spare is provided in the box and was wondering where I can get a replacement if I can't find the lost one, I'm in the uk so might order 1 or 2 from ashcan's link.
Source for good quality stylus?
Anybody know a good source to buy a higher quality stylus than the stuff sold on Ebay? I bought a 5 pack on Ebay and they are all broken, they are made very cheap and break very easily. Also my Noreve case tends to pull out the stylus each time you remove the phone so I tend to loose some that way too I am looking for the non-magnetic version of the stylus. Thanks.

Brando Stylus?
Whatever you do don't buy Brando! Worse than Ebay, at least the cheap Ebay stuff lasts a couple days, few weeks. Brando is even cheaper quality. I just got 3 for which I paid allot of money from Brando Hong Kong, the top is very cheap plastic and they are are breaking/falling apart, the whole stylus very cheaply built.

A stylus for use in the car with SatNav
There's a universal tethered stylus on eBay for use with touch-screen mobiles or SatNavs in cars.:
Tethered Stylus
I've got one and it is good quality.

I think you will find that the so-called "Non-Magnetic" versions of the Touch HD stylus on eBay and elsewhere are actually inferior copies that unlike the orignals, have slightly enlarged plastic tops.
Yes, they do stay in the slot as they are a tight fit but it wasn't deliberate by design. It's to stop them shooting back out as the magnets have been fitted in reversed polarity
Incidenatlly I'd beware of buying ANY stylus on eBay thats sold in quantity as it usually indcates a cheap quality. Also, ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS check an eBay seller's feedback before buying. The top listed seller currently selling cheap HD Touch stylus copies on eBay has thousands of negative feedbacks yet people are STILL buying them ???
Mobile Brando...
I've found good ones on EBAY...
At first I was looking for non-magnetic so that my Noreve case would not pull them each time I remove the phone to put it in my car mount. But so far what I purchased on Ebay (non-magnetic 5 pack) and 3 Pack Brando Hong Kong (magnetic) has been very poor quality junk! I am just trying to buy original stylus now but who knows where to get those from since nobody selling these things tell you whether they are original HTC or cheap junk. I think I saw a 3 pack on expansys (mobileplanet) and I am going to assume those are good original quality but they are out of stock right now.

Usually Expansys' quality is way better than any other dealers...

Did you in fact check the feedback of the eBayers before buying these stylus? I've found that 99.9% of the time if an eBay seller is selling poor quality junk it is reflected in the seller's feedback.
Dont just look at the headline feedback percentage figure - if its not 100% check it more thoroughly. It amazing that a seller can in fact be showing 99.9% positive feedback but due to large volume sales can have thousands of negative feedbacks.
Just as FYI, I researched all of the sellers and this was the only site I found who were selling original HTC styli AND had them in stock in the United States:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=173044
I received the package today and they look exactly like the original ones, i.e. it has the small black tip, exact fitting plastic cap with small rectangular "bump" on the side, the magnet, etc. Yes they're expensive, but what can you do...

Docking-Station

Yesterday I found this great looking Docking-Station: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179445
It would look great with the HD but it doesn't fit. Is there anyone, who found a similar station that works with the HD?
This is really the only quality one I know of:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-touch-hd-desktop-cradle_3387.htm
Not the most attractive, but like I said, quality.
I'm also looking for a cradle that looks good, the only on I have found is this one:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=175740
However it seems pretty expensive and not to my particular tastes so I was wondering if there were any others too.
Does anyone have any recent experience of using the cheapo docking cradles available for the TouchHD on eBay? I'm based in the UK but would be happy enough to buy one from a seller over here or in Hong Kong.

All they do is connect the USB port to the computer, they are basically a USB lead with a built in stand for the phone. The ones with a second battery socket have a second power input and a charging circuit.

I've got two of those.
One with the extra battery loader.
Dirt cheap on ebay (11 and 16 euro's). Great build quality.
Have the loader on my desk and the other on my nightstand. GREAT!

I got a cheap one from eBay for my desk at work. It works fine for charging the Touch HD, but it doesn't physically support it very well. If you are clicking anywhere near the top of the screen, the phones bends away from you (if you can understand what I mean).
Thanks for all the feedback. Looks as though I may have to look for a slightly more expensive brand of cradle/dock.
Do any of the well-known brands come with the ExtUSB connector instead of the standard mini-USB connector?
Im have a CRG300 craddle, just used a dremmel to make on of the adapters fit the HD.
do you have a foto of the station with the hd in?

[Q] BestBuy SUX, Got any better ideas ?

I went to BB to see what accessories they had.
Can you say "Zero"?
Really.. Not one single item relating to the X10.
They should call it iBestiBuy. It's "i" whatever from wall to wall.
Any other sites I should check out ?
I am concerned about getting a skin as some are loose fitting and I'd like to see them in person.
I live in Michigan, USA.
Try Expansys or Amazon.
ebay is also a good place to look. I get my stuff from there.

Maybe Google?
Seriously - there is no universal place with best selection and prices both. I used to buy accessories at buy.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, some other virtually noname online sellers I found by Google search. Don't like online? No problem - you can try this model in some brick-and-mortar store with crazy prices. And buy it online. Anyway everything is "Made in China". The only problem - returning. That really sucks. But for now I was lucky. Look - once I bought a case for SE k790 in ebay store of one HK seller and it didn't fit. I wrote, since the description claimed this model for k790/800 and they answered that they'll send me another one for free - anything I like. I checked measurement of the phone and found a model that should fit. It was around 1/2 more expensive, but they sent it without any returns. I was impressed and always check them first. But now look like they are out of business - no website, no ebay store and a lot of negative feedbacks. So it is a little risky, but after some research it worth.
I know how you feel. Especially since they have the exclusive white x10 then it only makes sense that they carry x10 accessories. But of course, Sony Ericsson really isn't that well known over here, so what you'd find would be for Apple and...probably that's it. Joking aside, yeah, its a bummer. have you tried amazon though?

Apple's case perfectly fits my X10. I bought it around a year before X10 photos were leaked over the web. I love Apple - they are able to predict many new tends.
I mean belt's case or pouch or whatever marketing freaks name it, not skin.
By the way, try to find a difference (except price and pressed brandname LUXMO inside or outside) between some in one store:
$0.60 + $2.98 shipping - Apple Iphone 4gb 8gb 16gb 32gb
$0.33 + $2.98 shipping - just iPhone
$0.57 + $2.98 shipping - Verzion Motorola Droid A855
$1.69 + $2.98 shipping - Samsung BlackJack i607 or BlackJack 2 i617
$1.12 + $2.98 shipping - Motorola q9m Q9c Q Q9h
$2.80 + $2.98 shipping - Apple iPhone 1st & 2nd Generation including 2g 3g (4gb/8gb/16gb/32gb) (AT&T -ATT)
I like their notes about the internal memory most of all - it is really universal case from 4Gb up to 32Gb!!! Wanna case for another model - wait a minute - our representative put the sticker... errr... sorry - find a case specifically for your model. This is how online works.
I think you'll find exactly this model in regular store for from $10 up to $25. And try how it feels.
Up here in Canada the only place I'm ever able to find cases fir my x10 are at flea markets and sometimes at cellphone kiosks in the malls here.

As of this month I have purchased the following accessories.
2 car chargers from Radio Shack, the cheaper ones.
1 windshield holder from ebay seller in Hong Kong. It has a short bent arm. Not good with very steep slopes. Phone needs to be plugged in when used as GPS so limited positions with car charger. Blocks view in smaller cars. I would rather have the one with the flexible arm instead for more possibilities.
2 Belkin usb to micro retractable cords. Microcenter
1 soft silicone case totally covers the sides of phone save camera and speakers and projects out 1/8th inch from screen like bumper. It's nice but the phone could be any phone. EBAY
1 hard rubber snap-on case with cutouts for buttons, camera and speakers. Finish on mold edges is not good. EBAY

OEM Galaxy Note Docking Station

Just figured i would share... i won a bid on eBAY for the Original OEM Docking Station which is typically $49.99 - got it for $21 - SHIPPED
If you are in the market for one, i would definitely go to eBAY. It works perfectly, excellent build quality too. Comes with a charger (says it's 0.15A) so i'm using my A/c charger naturally... lol
Do you have the URL?
For that price...sounds too good to pass up on it.
I noticed the $49.99 dock (/w extra battery) is straight from Samsung's site.
I did find that exact item for $40 on shopandroid...but still considered it a bit pricey based on my current budget.

well... it was an auction on eBAY
Just search for it on ebay but not "BUT IT NOW" i won the auction .. however there were probably 10 other auctions that were the same and nobody bid on them. it was very easy to pick up
Does the dock have hdmi out?

I bought an OEM Samsung EDD-D1G8BE for around $25 shipped, saw it on a few daily deal sites a while back. It is a Samsung GALAXY Multimedia Desktop Dock (the box has a "Compatible with Galaxy Note" sticker on it.) It has a LINE OUT and the micro usb, but that's it. Also, it doesn't fit with any case I have tried. I was wondering if it is really a true LINE OUT or is it the same as the headphone jack. When using the line out you can still control the volume with the phone, which is not the case with LINE OUT, as far as I know.
Puremobile is haveing a 35% off sale! and they have the nice OEM desktop dock!

Where i can find the best cases online?

hey guys,
Where do you normally purchase any electronic devices online? i want to buy new phone cases online.
I am from Germany so generally german amazon, prices a bit higher cause mostly brands but overnight delivery. Alternative if i am willing to wait longer is aliexpress, cheaper and more products. Thats only for cases or other accessories. Phones and other electronical devices i mostly purchase in Germany due to warranty and taxes/customs.
I prefer the "mofi" brand flip cases that you can get from aliexpress.com. they feature a full PU bumper and are very slim, so yo do not have black shadows on your rear camera pictures, and the fingerprint scanner is easy accessible.
