Samsung Galaxy Note: Replaced Charging Port (micro usb) Mic not working

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 04:09:52 -0700

I replaced the charging port on a Samsung Galaxy Note (sgh-i717m), charger works perfectly, however the microphone doesnt work. I did a little bit more research to determine the microphone is also part of the board that houses the micro usb charger.

Could it just be a faulty part or, did i miss something?

Samsung Galaxy Note: Call and text problems unresolved

Sat, 09 May 2020 05:50:33 -0700

I started out with Sprint and a Galaxy note 9. Was unable to send/receive texts or calls. Called sprint and went through all troubleshooting over 2 months time, talking to 5 customer service agents, 3 tech support, supervisors and higher tiered agents. We factory reset, did #727__## (don't remember #'s), turned off my phone so they could reactivate it remotely, reset network, no tower outages, sent me a new Note9 (still same problems), made sure no calls/texts were being blocked, they sent me a “Pebble" box to improve network serve (didn't work), my husband is on the same phone plan with no issues. I have been using Facebook messenger to make calls and texts but that doesn't allow me to call business's or anyone not on friends list. Finally I switched to Verizon with an upgrade to the Note 10 and the same phone number. Now I'm able to make/receive SOME calls but still no texts incoming or outgoing. No one can help me or knows what's going on! I'm at my wits end, seriously. Someone PLEASE answer/help!

Samsung Galaxy Note: Samsung Note 1 losing signal

Sun, 06 Jan 2019 07:59:19 -0700

Hi, I'm a repair tech and I have done well over 1500 repairs from iPhones to tablets to android phone.You name it I've fix them. I've resolved issue for all sorts of devices, Although there is one issue that I haven't quite found the answer too. That device is the Samsung note 1 i717, here is the issue:

Every time I replace i charging port flex the phone looses signal bars to the point that eventually it just won't make calls.

Does anybody know why device would loose signal after such repair?

Every 3 out of 5 charging port flex I repair so the same thing.

If any one knows how to resolve this issue let me know, please..

Samsung Galaxy Note: Why does my Galaxy note keep powering off? and why won't it update?

Mon, 06 Nov 2017 15:12:50 -0700

Hi there, two years ago, I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note. I thoroughly enjoyed it until I dropped it several times. Now It refuses to stay on for more than 10 min unless plugged in. It also will not update now. Originally, when I took the phone to Batteries +, I was told that the back of the phone is broken and does not adequately hold in the battery, but that turned out to not be the case. I also purchased a new battery, thinking that was the issue, but the new battery did not change the situation.

If there is anything that I am overlooking?

thanks much

My phone went dead last time when some of my apps didn't shut off properly, and I immediately push the power button to turn the device off and it didn't turn back on, as I also plug the charger, it won't turn on too. What seems to be the problem? If the motherboard is the problem, what will happen? Thanks.

Samsung Galaxy Note: Sim card not recognized. After replacing tray twice?

Fri, 15 Jan 2016 11:16:32 -0700

I have a galaxy note i717r. I have been having troubles with the sim card not being recognized at all. I purchased a new sim tray complete with sd card slot. I replaced it and it seemed to work. After two days however the phone once again said No Sim. I purchased yet another sim card tray and tried that but wasnt able to solve the error at all this time. Please help if you know of the solution.

ps: I have also reformatted, reinstalled firmware, rooted it and tried titanium backup fix, and installed "vanilla" firmware to see if that would help. Nothing fixed it.
