Okay if you saw my other posts you could tell I needed a bit more then my gold old tilt can provide so I figured I would toss out an option I might be willing to trade away my tilt for something with a bit more screen size Athena Fuze etc... my tilt is fully unlocked running V15 of PDA ultimate Rom (I'll hard reset before I sent it) and I have a 4G Microsd card (I lost the Stock HTC charger well I left it in a hotel in Bothell WA and I really am not driving back up there for it so I charge it with a Motorola mini usb charger and I have a sync cable might even know where the box is but not 100% sure it has had a screen protector on it since day one and is in mint condition except for a scratch near the mini usb port I paid full price it is NOT on a contract you can look at my ebay profile under the same board name, just figured seeing they are still going good it would be worth the time to post it for trade before I list it for sale on ebay. if the deal is good I could even toss in a few extra bucks.
Just checking
PM me.
I've had my tilt for a little over two years now and it seems the hardware has finally gave in. About two weeks back, the phone repeatedly got got stuck in a white screen when returning from sleep mode (as identified here: search "white screen issue"). I chose to dismantle the phone and replace the flex cable with one I had salvaged from my friend's dead tilt. Fortunately the white screen went away. In turn, I lost the use of the memory card slot, the touchscreen functionality only worked in landscape mode, and worst of all my sim card is no longer identified. Trying to revert back to my old tilt's flex cable gave me a empty screen all together. My question is, whether I should purchase both a new flex cable and screen or whether a flex cable alone will do? Moreover should I take a chance and dismantle an old tilt sold on eBay? Or just buy a new cable shipped all the way from China as there seems to be no US sellers? Any and all advice is welcome.
Sounds like you may have a loose/bad connection plug, need to recheck assembly.
The old ribbon probably failed completely due to extra stress during dissembly.
Parts from china are mostly copy parts & the quality is normally awful, buying a salvalge phone is a good option if price is right.
For sure a few forum members will have Kaiser spares.

Thanks for the response, but I disassembled time and again to check the connectors with the utmost care mind you . After some thought, I decided the salvage phone was not a a good option as those may have severe wear on the cable as well and I'm not willing to wait around for a week for the item to arrive to find its dysfunctional (or nearing its fate). Fortunately, I found a legitimate eBay seller in NY who has the new flex cable. Hopefully if the phone recovers, I will update for those who might come upon this thread and have found themselves in a similar situation.
My wife's N1 recently developed the power button problem. I would consider repairing it, but she also nearly destroyed the USB port so that is very touchy now and sometimes doesn't charge leading to a dead battery which is a problem (not impossible to solve) to restart the phone.
I want to replace the N1 (T-mobile), but don't really want to do Craigs List if I can help it because most of the phones listed in my area are pretty far away. I'm not on contract so I don't want to add a phone on contract right now.
Does anyone have a source for "verified working" used cell phones that they would trust?

ebay is probably your next best bet.
Or Amazon...
Pulled the s-pen out and the button was missing (see pic)
Have no idea how i lost it and there is no damage.
Is this a known issue?
This should be a warranty replacement from Samsung or sprint, i would think
Going to sprint store in the morning where i bought it, 36 days ago, to see
what they say.
You probably applied too much pressure using ur finger nail on the edge of the button causing it to pop out and fall without you noticing, but as far as I've noticed the button is very sturdy so maybe it's the manufacturer's fault, hopefully they'll replace it for you
Same thing happened to me.. Pulled it out and the button was missing... No idea when or where it fell off... Sooo pissed right now.

I was able to pop mine out when doing the tap, tap, tap trick on a hard surface to fix the sensitive calibration problem. I can see it popping out if dropped or smacked just right. I did take off the cover prior to tweak the calibration and it might have weaken it but it holds.
try to waranty on samsung service center
Hasn't happen to me but I was recently using Sketchbook on my note 2 and notice that button has loosen a little since using the pen a lot.
i dropped it from probably 1 feet and the button came off , but later was able to find it in case if you find it you can snap back it on but its hard to find even when you know where you dropped it , samsung's flimsy quality
From the image, it looks like you have pried it out before?
As if you took a flat-head to it and cut into the case of the pen. If you are trying to get a warranty replacement, I wouldn't send this image. They'd probably shoot you down in seconds.
For everyone here that has had the button fall off at some point, have you taken the button off before?

in my case it went off after falling never tried to remove it deliberately , in case if you find it you can just snap it on
I went to verizon for same exact reason. They said to call Samsung because they have no
Replacements. I called Samsung and got the full run around. First guy told me to hard rest my phone. After 5 times
Of me strongly telling him to listen to me. I asked him why I was needing to reset my phone? Will my
Button magically re appear on my s pen? He said yes it will fix my issue by restiing the settings
To factory!!! I asked for a manager at that point. This new guy told me to mail in my pen for a.replacement.
I asked him why becaus its under warranty why verizon couldnt do it. He then said I would most
Likely not get a replacement because it would be listed as user
Breakage. I asked for a new manager and this guy flat out told me I would never see a
Warranty replacement on it because its an accessory to the phone and I would either
Be asked to pay $76.13 for labor or $30 to buy a new one. He also said I would not get my old one because they
Dont return broken items.
I asked him what good would it be for me to have 2 pens if I were trying to pull a fast one. He said I might be ambidextrous and use both
At the same time. At this point I wanted to jump through the phone and ring his neck. The entire time he was snifling like a tough guy saying he was sorry but was going to do nothing. Even though my phone is 6 weeks old to me..
Samsung has the worth CS. and can give a rats ass about you.
He then reminded me that on any samsung device. If a moveable part
Anywhere on a phone breaks or falls off it is automatically put in the system and user damaged and all warranties
Are gone for that replacement......
I am selling this device as soon as I can and will continue to tell my story on how bad they are and how they feel they can treat people.
That's a very interesting story, and the experiences I've had with a multitude a CS, it all comes down to the individual.
Keep calling and complaining, should have gotten a name or some forms of ID to report that imbecile.
Hahaha. If you want to see bad cs go call asus! Most anyone with a tf201 will know what I mean
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Sorry for the bad typing. It was late and I was pissed....
I do have their names and will be pushing this up the chain as far as I can get it.
I got a hold of a Verizon rep and told him the situation and he too seemed annoyed that
Samsung said what they said. He offered to send me out a replacement S Pen and not just the button.
However, its color wont match my phone but at this point what can I do? I need my S Pen to function the way
I have become accustomed to.
It is a sad day when bigger companies hold you hostage like that. Telling me I will never see a replacement from them
Also if you own a Samsung device. Just know (according to the rep) any moving part on a samsung device. Buttons or home keys
S pens etc.. Should they lose that part even if it simply is defective will never be covered because they will deem it as user breakage.
I think this will be my last Samsung device. Not because it broke. Because the way they treat people. I had 3 reps back to back act like fools and
I just cant deal with that....
So what if the pen isnt under warranty. Just pay the $30 to replace your defective pen lol.

An exact replacement is all of 20 bucks on Amazon.
If you keep speaking to reps in absolutes of "you all are holding me hostage!!!111panic" you aren't going to get the best of responses.
If I were you I'd go ahead and buy a replacement, but also pursue this with other customer service reps through Verizon or whomever you purchased the phone through. But if this "will be your last Samsung device" then forget about pushing it.
Saw them for $10 - $15 for a new authentic OEM S Pen on eBay. Seriously, just buy one to put back in. Then get another pen. S Pen is horrible anyway. Luckily, I've horded a couple in each color just in case.
I dropped my Note 4 a few months ago soon after i cancelled the insurance on the phone. I currently bought a used T-Mobile Note 4 with a working display but the phone reportedly shuts off randomly which not an issue for me as i have my old one that works fine minus the black screen.
How difficult is it to swap out the screen and keep all the internals on my old note 4? Is it possible to swap out just the board without removing the screen.

I know I'm a little late bro but I actually just did that same thing last week. And i have to say its pretty simple. only thing to worry about is making sure to not separate the lcd display from the glass wen prying the housing off. I used a credit card and a screwdriver. Only took about an hour to take both apart, see what makes them tick, and slap it back together. if you haven't already done it and need some help let me know. I would say shoot me a PM (feel free to if you rather) but i think this could be a very beneficial thread to others. Also, as reference for anyone curious about compatibility of motherboards and models, N910T motherboard will fit in N910A housing.
There are oodles of teardown videos on YouTube that show how easy it is.
