<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini: Issues with mic not working]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I have a Samsung S3 mini which has had the usb socket replaced but now the microphone doesn't work when making a phone call, also if recording a video or sound recording it also doesn't capture sound.</p>

<p>I have replaced the mic next to the usb socket (I have tried 3 new mic's) but still no results.</p>

<p>I have replaced many usb sockets in the past and occasionally i'll have a mic stop working but after replacing the mic it's always fine, in this case its not working. Please can anyone offer a suggestion on what may be wrong?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini: Phone boot loop after getting water damage]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>A friend of mine dropped her Galaxy S3 mini completely in water. After this she used a hair dryer on it, luckily for not so long. Now the phone is in me, two weeks after being dropped in the water. When you put the battery inside it starts to boot - without pressing the power button, the moment you place the battery the samsung logo appears on the screen and the phone vibrates. Few seconds after this, the boot restarts - vibration again and samsung logo. It does it infinitely until removing the battery. When I plug the phone in the charger, without battery inside it does the cycle only once. Three seconds after the boot has started the phone stops booting and the screen goes black. I tried to enter recovery mode - Unfortunately I have only three seconds until next restart, so I enter recovery mode for under a second and the boot begins again. What could be causing this behaviour?</p>]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini: Screen flickers after battery replacement]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I my GS3 mini’s battery was on it’s last leg, so I bought a new battery for it. However, it appears that the third party battery I bought was rated for 1350mAh, while the original was 1500mAh. When I run it on the weak original, no flickering. On the new one, flickering. How do I fix this without buying a new phone or yet another battery replacement? (I bought a Samsung Original)</p>

<p>Do the Verizon, GSM, and International models all have the same LCD Screens? I've read somewhere that the Verizon models maybe different. Has anyone tried this on the Verizon model before who can verify?</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>

<p>My phone suddenly went down.  I thought battery was low, so put him to charge without success.</p>

<p>It won't turn on nor charge (always black screen, no light). My external batterie detects the phone when connected, but the phone stays off and not charging.</p>

<p>The battery seems pretty charged (3.3V on 3.8V)</p>

<p>I tried VolUp+Home+Power, VolDown+Home+Power, VolUp+VolDown+Home+Power, but nothing happens...</p>

<p>Is the motherboard dead ? repearable ?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini: How Do You Network Unlock a Phone?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>If you go to a normal plaza or mall, there obviously would be that one sketchy tech/electronic store that offers repairs/phone unlocks. How do those stores know how to network unlock phones? I'ts so weird that there isn't a way on how to  network unlock a phone on YouTube or a forum post,  and a random guy down the street opens up a phone repair shop and knows how to unlock phones! How do they do it? Do they pay a company to get access to the tool they use or what? I really want to know how to unlock phones without paying a website online or physically paying someone. Please tell me because maybe one day I'd like to be that guy opening an electronic shop down the street.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini: How do I recover photos from my broken and old phone that won’t turnon]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello! Recently I delved into my storage in my room and came across my old and first ever phone, my Samsung s3 (SIII) Mini, I was excited to of found it as I realised it most likely has a goldmine of old photos and videos of it which would be nice to look back on. However, I have no recollection of how I broke the phone, but all I know is that it does not turn on. I left it on charge for 2 days and still nothing, I’ve tried connecting it to a laptop but the laptop won’t even recognise it? I did end up downloading Phone Rescue for Android hoping that maybe that would help, however to no avail I am unable to connect to the phone at all via USB (I believe this is probably because it can not power on at all, what’s more the phone is most likely dead due to it’s old age), is there any way I could be able to get back into my photos at all, or will I have to end up taking a pricey trip to the repair store to somehow fix the phone? Thank you!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini: How do I recover my contacts after a factory reset & format?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>My Samsung SIII Mini I8190 slowed down as it was overloaded (RAM usage 92%!) with pics and videos - my wife's doing! (S'true!) I connected the phone to my laptop (hp ProBook 4310s Intel Core2 running Windows 7 Professional) which has 52,6 Gb free space. I created a folder on the C drive called SAMSUNG SIII Backup. I then opened the phone and copied the folders and files to said backup folder on the notebook. So far, so good. I then executed a factory reset on the phone. It's response time was still slow so I reformatted the phone as a &quot;Mass Storage Device&quot; and reinstalled the drivers from Windows Update. I have removed (into a dedicated PC folder) all of the offending video &amp; photo material both from the camera as well as from WhatApp so they are safe and sound albeit that the folders on the phone are now empty. This after I sent the deleted folders (sans contents) back to the phone. I have recreated a new Samsung Account as well as a new Google (gmail) account and cannot get any joy except for making and receiving calls and SMS. Apps will not install. FB; WhatsApp; Google Play, etc . . . And, lastly, I cannot find the contacts folder to restore that. I'm now in the dwang! Please help me ;-( PeterG Cape Town, South Africa</p>
