[SOLVED] A REAL charger port actually made by Samsung?

[AndroidSlave]

UPDATE: parts4repair.com sells fully working parts!


I have recently replaced the DC In (charger port) board, and as many have experienced, I am having severe degradation of cellular reception.

Obviously the 'OEM' part that I have purchased isn't a real OEM, of this wouldn't be happening.

I am now posting this thread in hope that I can be directed to a seller in the United States that has ACTUAL Samsung factory parts, so I can fix this phone properly.

If you don't have an answer to where I could buy either (1) an actual Samsung part for a reasonable price or (2) a non Samsung part that won't degrade my cellular quality, then please don't respond.

Thank you

call several service centres of samsung if they have the part, and how it costs.
Or order from parts4repair.com, I think noone has had a broken one from there as of yet.

Does anyone have an update for this? I have now bought TWO counterfeit boards where I lose reception... Samsung america doesn't sell parts or even repair international phones...

Anyone have a suggestion?

In my country (malaysia) the samsung center not allowed me to purchase part only

I get it from reputable local shop so far so good. Cost Around RM50.00 = 15 USD +-

Im in the USA. Would that shop ship here?
I have ordered this part from TWO separate people now, each shipped from China. Both of them i lose 1/2 of my cellular reception.
I wouldn't even care about losing reception, but here where my house is in Los Angeles Suburb, I barely get reception, so before with the original part I had only 1-2 bars. Now, i struggle just to get any reception. (0 bars)
I just want a REAL samsung part. its like pulling my teeth trying to find one

Even if a company or a member claims that they'll give you an original part, you'll never be sure of it until you test it in your device and get your old reception quality.
So I assume that it would be easier (but sadly more expensive) to get it repaired by Samsung.

I would be willing to consider that, but unfortunately Samsung USA refuses to repair any non-US phones. I just got off the phone with them a couple hours ago.

I just ordered 3 more boards from all different people via amazon.com... Hopefully one of them will be OK...luckily they are only $7-8 each... One is called 'refurbished' so hopefully it will be a part pulled from a device instead of a new Chinese manufacture. Otherwise I don't know what to do at this point.

I hate this policy.
But since yesterday when I read about the "new" trick with regional limited devices Samsung became a no-go-company for me.
I need to switch without limitations between Thai and German Sim cards for our Samsung devices. Samsung doesn't want this anymore. So I do not want Samsung anymore.

Luckily I switched already to the Nexus 7 and I am very happy with it until now (big screen, no bloat, 1-day-battery life without any restrictions, fast, and now with a bluetooth keyboard and fitting cover it is nearly perfect).

Good luck with your orders.

That's what solved mine. Now, I have a GT-N7000 international...if you have the at&t version, it might be different, I don't know.
I use my international one on Straight Talk, using the at&t towers.

I went through about 4 different ones from various vendors, and this one solved my signal problems.

It worked great here and others that ordered. Get the dust cover for usb hole can recommend it.

Same revision part you ordered right, better double check it m8

I only saw one that was compatible with this device. Its been shipped 20 days ago now, so i guess i'll find out when it comes.

Whats the difference with revisions?

Yeah I had to deal with so many replacements... And when this one came it just worked.
Be Sure to take the white part off BOTH sides of the sticky conductive tape so that it adheres to the METAL PART of the phone frame when you install it...

I had to deal with no reception for over a month but now I'm good as new again.

Does the replacement come with a piece of tape which I have to attach? I saw this tape on my original, the bad part I have now came without tape.

Yes. It comes with the tape.

You can try something in the meantime but it probably won't work, but some report it does. Take the tape from the original and put it in the same place on the replacement.

I threw away the original part because I thought the replacement worked. My phone charged again and i didn't know about the network issue since I was at home connected to wifi. Thanks for your advices, I'm looking forward to trying the other replacement. Maybe I'll try to find some tape tomorrow.
