My friend said he wouldn't worry about it he would just send it back to them without the usb port cover flap.Im kind of worried that the will charge me for the device.any knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

or u can buy that cover from ebay.
That might be considered physical damage by t-mobile.
I would replace it before sending it back.
O.k. I was thinking the same thing.hey there's a step by step instructions somewhere on xda explaining how to install a new USB cover tab but I can't find it if you guys know what I talking about could someone please post the link to it.I greatly appreciate all your help. Thanks

The part is less than a buck on ebay. Take off the battery cover and there is one screw on the bottom by the port. Take that off and put in the new but plug and your good.

I think you should be Ok . Maybe explain it to them first and see if its gonna be a problem and if it is get the one from Ebay.
Ok it's not less than buck but still only $2-$3. Just search galaxy s5 usb plug.

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.

Earlier today I attempted replacing the screen on my DNA. All went well aside from the fact that I somehow managed to break off the little part of the power button that makes it click. So, would anyone out there willing to pay a reasonable amount for it? It works 100% otherwise, I just have a slight case of OCD and cant deal with it.

Well not true. There are wireless connection methods used everywhere with this phone: I happen to use Hyperdrive Rom's FTP transfer to connect my MDK S4 to my home's wireless network, to transfer files between phone and computer. You can do everything you need to wirelessly: charging, and file transfers!!
You don't need to fix anything, just buy the wireless charging thing, and do wireless file transfers!
Plus we've got removable batteries. I've got two spares and an external charger/dock. I just rotate the batteries while charging isn't available.

Oh, good point. Well, I guess if you need to use one of those things, you'll have to replace the USB port, or lose your MDK. Sucks, but I'd go for replacing the USB port any day. It's a good opportunity for learning more about how phones are put together, too.
UPDATE: Ordered the part from Amazon, got it in about 2 days. Took about 10 minutes to swap, and that was only because I was having a hard time putting the super small screws back in. Everything went well and I have a working usb port and kept MDK!

Also beware of this before you buy:
I purchased this product because my Galaxy S4 USB port stopped working. I installed the replacement part and so far so good - my phone charges again! I initially had a microphone problem (which others have mentioned here), but I was able to resolve it by removing an orange / amber colored piece of protective tape that was covering the microphone port / hole.

That's the one I was looking at. But it said 17-31 days shipping when I ordered. So I cancelled. Appreciate the response.
It's a hardware button that slots into your 3.5 mm headphone socket and can be used as a shortcut for a number of apps like camera shutter or flash.

It's no bigger than the cutouts for the headphones on most cases so this should be fine to use on a phone with a case. It is in fact the same size as most headphone connectors so if a headphone fits so will this. Just an excuse to spend 24p really lol that's why I bought one, no reason to.. No reason not to. Although I do think being able to activate the flash with one click even with the phone in standby is pretty useful for me personally.

Any effect on battery life?
My G3 (D855) seems to be having issue detecting anything that I plug in the headphone jack other than the stock headphones that came with it. I tried plugging in the pressy button and a portable speaker on separate occasions but they were only detected momentarily. The button works fine on my old phone which is a galaxy note n7000 so I'm pretty sure it isn't spoilt.
Anyone has any clue about this issue? Otherwise I'll probably send my G3 for repair since it's still obviously still under warranty.
I am having issue with Pressy on g3 and my other phone so it's not the phone it's Pressy.

Sounds like a software problem with compatibility? I don't see why some work and some don't.. Hopefully gets fixed with an update.

I have two Droid DNA's with me and both of them needed screen replacement. I ordered the screen from eBay through a chinese seller. Got the parts and also fixed them. Everything was working fine for a couple of days, then one of the phone started to show distorted images, some lines along the screen in few areas. This area went on increasing. Then it went to a point it became unusable. I am attaching the pictures of the issue. Now my other DNA is also started to get the same issue. Anyone had similar issues? What are my options? When i take a screenshot of the distortion and view it on my laptop i can see nothing wrong in it where as the same screenshot viewed in the gallery, i get the same distortion in the same places. I thought this could be a software glitch and tried flashing a custom ROM on it but the issue persists, now even worse. I get it even in the recovery.
It is either faulty hardware (most likely from Chinese seller) or the data cable came loose. In any event, contact the seller of the issue to see if you can RMa

I have sent him a message, this is actually a replacement screen. The first one sent also had some issues with it. I'll make sure I'll stick to US sellers. Lesson learnt the hard way I guess.
