[Q] SHV-E160K / S - microUSB connector with flex cable of a GT-N7000

I have a Korean SHV-E160K (Olleh version) with a borked USB connector.
After days of research I came to the conclusion I should ask the experts~
The broken part has "SHV-E160S_Rev0.8" printed on. (Where the S is whitened out, since it's the K type ofc loll).
Seemingly both devices use the same USB connector module.
Is it worth the risk to buy a GT-N7000 micro USB module such as the one I could order on Amazon to use in my SHV-E160K?
Or is it safe to say that it's not worth the try?
I'm not sure if I should continue searching for the Korean one if I could get an "international" one much easier...
TIA

Of course it is
News from nowhere.

if its the same rev code it is possible. if it doesnt cost much its worth a shot. the rev code thats printed on the flex cables is important.

SHV-E160K Note repaired
After mounting it,
-Speaker works
-Microphone works
-USB connector works
Although the part I ordered clearly was labeled to be for a GT-N7000, the part received had "SHV-E160S REV0.8" upon alike it's predecessor just without the whitened out part.

The only difference was the write on the clip of the connector itself.
It says E160S, on the damaged cable it says E160K(KT) - for my Olleh (Korean phone provider). - as shown on photo

If that will have any impact on LTE/4G connectivity I can only verify next time I go to Korea, since we don't have any type of 4G network in Switzerland.

[Q] Which variant is my S3?

Hi everyone.
I know it is very silly question but i am very confused.
I bought a S3 with 2GB RAM and LTE. I am not sure that it is i9305 or SHV210s.
SHV210s variant has an antenna but my cell does not have it, so i thought it is i9305 but when i go to download mode (using volume down+home+power keys) it shows its model as SHV210s.
how can i be sure about my cell's variant because i want to install custom ROM on it???

See your identical post .
You say you flashed SHV210 so of course it says that.
You should go back to the retailer and find what you bought .
My guess based on your reply in your identical post .
You have an I9300 but f5555555 it up by flashing the wrong firmware .

I think some one fooled you. Sorry. I9300 dont come with LTE i think.
So you have probably destroyed your phone.

i9300 doesn't have 2gb ram and lte. Maybe the seller of that phone fooled you or maybe it's a clone.

[Q] Galaxy Ace, digitizer not working

Hello guys,
recently, I've bought a second hand Galaxy Ace for very little, the phone had the screen broken (outer glass). I bought a digitier but still, it does not recognize it, nor the tactile buttons. The home button, volume, power... work perfectly, as everything else in the MoBo. I have even installed CM11 on it.
Any advise, what could it be? The LCD looks OK, altough it haves a dead pixel. Maybe just changing the LCD would mate it work?
Thanks guys!

First of all, Wrong section Mate! Always post such questions in the Samsung Galaxy Q/A section. Now as per your description and assuming that all the connections were correct, I think the digitizer you bought is not meant for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT 5830. Usually when your install a digitizer is not meant for your device, it cannot be recognized. Can you make sure if it was indeed meant for our device? Here is a similar post,

Sorry, and thanks for the info, next time I will know where to post
That thread says that the digitizer was for s5830 instead for his s5830i. Mine is a S5830, digitizer for S5830, so the model fits the phone

is Xperia ZR still worth buying? (transition from ASUS Zenfone 5)

so, recently my local used phone shop got tons of used Xperia ZR docomo, with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal.
until this time, I'm using ASUS Zenfone 5 (ASUS_T00F) with 2GB RAM and 8GB internal, which sucks (and everybody knows ASUS have A LOT of bloatware).
is this phone still worth buying? they are sold like $90 here.
and what should I check first when buying?
thanks!

Could you share some pictures of these Xperia ZR units? I want to buy one too, but I want to know the whole state of use of them.
PD: Could you test if their Wifi works well?

If you're looking for a smaller phone with large internal storage and a removable battery, then this phone fits the bill. I believe it may be the only one out there that has all of the following:
- Under 5-inch screen size
- 720×1280 screen resolution
- 2 GB RAM, 32 GB (about 25–26 GB usable) internal storage
- Removable battery
- microSD card slot
- Some USB OTG support (microUSB flash drives work, USB OTG adapter cables don't seem to work)
- FM radio
- Custom recovery and custom ROM support (even though the bootloader is locked)
It also happens to be waterproof and can be charged on a charging dock via contact points on the side without using the microUSB port.
For anyone who's planning on buying one of these, check if the phone is SIM unlocked. If it's locked, you can just buy an unlock code online, but make sure it hasn't run out of attempts to unlock; otherwise, it may be permanently locked. Some info on the Xperia phones' SIM lock can be found here. And of course, make sure the phone's frequency bands match your coverage area since this particular one seems to have fewer bands than most other phones.

and you forgot NFC! just lacks an IPS panel and maybe better camera
so so difficult to find a similar phone with such price, maybe the s5 mini, witch i hate due the mecanical button, amoled displays end up burned overtime, and has less ram, and much more expensive.
i just bought a mi4c with awesome 4k capable camera, ips panel, Infrared, usb type-c, and an snapdragon 808 that returns 67000 antutu bench
and i am thinking into sell it for a ZR, beacuase it has all what mi4c lacks for and i also need in a phone, waterproof, nfc, microSD expansion, radio, compact size, removable battery, charge dock so you dont end up breacking the water seal rubber of the usb.
ZR is quite close... the antutu bench is around 21 000, but i guess is enough for not heavy users.
Z3 compact was another option but much more expensive, and not easy to replace batt.
in my local country ebay (spain) they also got Xperia ZR docomo, with 2GB RAM and 32GB and thats why i knew this model, becuase the ZR was never released officially in spain, shame on you Sony. I was looking so hard for a cheap, compact waterproof with NFC and decent CPU phone.
i am tempted to get one, for 89€ about 99$ or so

Touchscreen unresponsive after flashing the wrong rom

I wanted to flash the new hyper rom v11 gt-i9305 so i got all excited and foolishly flashed the note 2 rom. I also have a note 2 so i downloaded it for both the phones and flashed the note 2 on the s3. Now the touchscreen wont respond and its annoying as I literally just got out of a bootloop today. I did backup my phone but it didn't seem to save as Twrp doesn't recognise it. I tried flashing the stock rom and wiping cache and davlik cache and then rebooting but that didn't work. I tried going back to RR but that didn't work either. (I flashed these roms but using odin to get phliz touch and using the keys to navigate). I think it isn't a hardware problem and I hope not. Do you have any ideas on your mind? Happy to try it out. I need to save my jewel of a phone as this has been with me for ages and I need it to last longer. (I prefer over the note 2 as a daily driver).

I am sorry to confirm, that your touch is broken now. By flashing a rom for t0lte, will say especially the kernel, is burning and so destroying the touch screen of the i9305. I had this also, when I accidentally compiled the kernel with the wrong defconfig.

Well is there a fix? Replacing the components or hardware e.g. motherboard or lcd cable?

Yes sure, you can replace the touch display unit. But whether this is worth for the/your good old i9305? Depends on the price, sure and often you can get some used spare parts or cheap used and complete mobiles.

Dang. Really? I just looked at the prices and I can't find any digitizer listed under $70. Is there any workaround? I'm sure your telling me the truth about how there's no fix but is there a cheaper way out of this?
UPDATE: I found a cheap digitizer for the s3 but it doesn't say if its also for the 4G version. So would the i9300 digitizer work on the i9305? I'm not talking about the whole lcd, just the digitizer and the glass lens.
