New 4G cameras? Are you referring to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G's camera?
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-T-mobile-Galaxy-S-Vibrant-T959-Camera-p/smsng6085857.htm
There's also the i9000 camera...
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Camera-p/smsng6087125.htm
So the camera for the Galaxy S 4G is compatible with our Vibrants?
Thats the same question i was aking myself...? On which i posted another thread... and supposedly they do work... so will be ordering those i guess and just sellthe extra one
sold 10char
Any update on the banding with the new "4G" Cameras? They are currently out of stock with the first linked "4G" camera, but have the I9000 in stock. I'm looking for the best one...
Those that bought the 4g ffc's should let us know how they work out.
The way I understand it, banding aside, is that the 4g cams will only work on a rom based off the t959v (Vibrant 4g) rom, which at the moment is only Bionix Frost. The i9000 ffc will work with everything else, including Bi-Winning and Simply Honey, and also any 2.2 roms if you push the ffc mod files that can be downloaded from the ffc support thread in the dev section.
I originally wanted a 4g cam, but then learned this and decided to go with the i9k instead. It seemed to have much more support in the chance I have functionality issues.
sooo..does anybody have an extra i9000 ffc the v0.2 one that i can buy off them?

Go to mobiletechvideos - he has them for sale. Also, having just bought one, I'll add that he's great at sending it quick and helping you troubleshoot any issues.
i was going to get one off his site, but he is currently all sold out..and he has no idea when he will get some more in. =/
If you have already made the ffc hole and want to play with something else while you wait for the v2 or the 4g ffc cam, I can sell you a spare v1FFC I still have. It would be $20-25 shipped. Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks bro, I appreciate it..but I haven't even started anything yet, and just want to do it all at once with the V2 ffc.
They are out of stock almost everywhere but you can preorder it and get2 for 80 at mobile tech videos
I have a a V1 if your interested.
I would check globaldirectparts. They normally keep ffcs in stock. I work on phones for a living and that's where I get my parts from.

I had a xoom and sold it for the tab, The tab fits in xoom case i have, the camera cutouts on the back are wrong but at least its protected.

I have the same issue. Samsung South Africa dont even have the device yet. They are expecting it this month.
In terms of accessories, i have also looked around like a nutter, and i cant find anything.
An Incredible corruptions store in Eastgate said they should be getting this week. I will be checking tomorrow as its Friday.
Thanks, still no luck. Phoned Vodashop vodaworld again today,still nothing. Let me know about eastgate.

mine came with a case and it's pretty awesome, better than any aftermarket case that i've seen
Any of you guys from SA find a case???
I've had my tab for 3 weeks now and I still can't find anything. Got some family in the UK - seriously thinking about getting a few from ebay.co.uk and getting them shipped here.
Hi guys,
It fits in an Ipad 1 case. Needs cutouts for power and camera though.

Still no luck for me, Vodaphone shop said they would contact me when they do arrive. Very frustrating, they never seem to get it right in SA.
Saw a tweet from Samsungmobilesa that vodashop's should have accesories available mid June.

Did a few stops today while I was out; IC Eastgate say they will get stock next week, IC Greenstone say they have no clue when stock is arriving. So I popped in at Vodaworld; The Vodashop recons 4 - 6 weeks until they expect stock and the Samsung Mobile guys say that they have yet to get their hands on the device never mind the accessories....

At least it is made specifically for the 10.1v!

Let us know how it is please
Yes please do let us know!
Also in SA, and have been searching for a case since I got the tab 10.1v.
But now since Vodafone has dropped/discontinued the V version, i'm a sad panda because it means that 10.1V accessories (or at least a case) will be VERY rare...
so if we can get at least 1 good case somewhere it will help us early adopters a lot
looking forward to your feedback (and thanks all for the links so far!)
ok, seeing as no one has either received their imported cases yet, or no one actually cares to reply... heres an update after we did some research the last couple of days.
(also posted on AndroidZA)
decided to import a case, seeing that it is pretty much the only option...
Apart from the importing fact, we also have just about 2 options of cases
I settled on this one from amazon uk : goo.gl/mbHcJ
They estimate about 3 weeks for delivery so we'll see... at least its quite cheap (though shipping isnt...)
Saw that Have2Have advertises a similar case (goo.gl/3bboh), but called them and their US supplier doesnt have stock, so thats a fail.
But here is another viable option, though it is VERY expensive, but looks gooood...
goo.gl/TjDtg
hope it helps someone. i'll update once i get that case.
[edit: sorry about the links, cannot post links yet apparently - so just copy & paste the goo.gl links into the browser]
case from ebay...
hey people,
the case i had ordered from ebay arrived and here are pictures of it.
fits the ports really well, meaning that i can use all my ports.
microfiber material but feels not as nice as the apple one.
am quite happy even though it is a little loose (due to the material being slightly stretchable). can stand too!

Where are you guys purchasing you FFC's from?? Im looking to do the mod on several phones, mine and some family members phones. I have found some on the web but want some input from my fellow galaxy s'ers.
You can get them off eBay. But mobile tech video has them and they are not supposed to have any bandit issues. They are more pricey tho.

If it does have the banding, this occurs in the rear not the FFC, right?

Look, its a no brainer, yes Mobile Tech is a bit pricier, but, I can tell you from personal experience, that I did the Mod twice, 1st time with a V.1 camera= so-so results, lots of banding.
Then I got one from Josh at MTech, a V.2 what a difference, especially in low light situations!
So again its a no brainer, If you buy from Amazon, its a computer item to them, and they wont give any latitude on that at all!
So your cost for shipping starts at $7.99 =.65= a total of $8.64 then add $14.99 for purchase and its now= $23.63 Plus I guarantee its a V1 camera at that price.
Now Josh sells for $45.00 that Includes shipping, so subtotal 45-8.64= $36.36 So for an additional $13.00 you get a guaranteed V2 camera that's fresh made. Plus he backs his products up.
Saving a few dollars is foolish when ensures a quality upgrade to the vibrant. However if your doing this Mod in batches and for other people or family and you don't care about quality then buy the cheap ones from amazon, and then it'll be over $25 and shipping is free!.
Point is if your gonna do this Mod for your personal phone and you want quality then get it from Josh at Mobile Tech and get a for sure V2 FFC
All I can say is the V2 is Superior in image quality hands down from the V1 series!!

Some people have reported that the Amazon one is a rev2, now of course I can't be sure until I test it. Besides, I wasn't even going to do this FFC mod, the only reason I'm doing it is because my camera decided to die and I figured 'Why the hell not?' Now, I get your point, and I completely agree, you get what you pay for.
So I don't know how many people is late for the FFC party. I didn't jump on the bandwagon at the time because I didn't see a need for it. However now when Skype is supporting video calling and other fun things you can do with the camera in ICS, I wanted to get one. However when going to www.globaldirectparts.com now it will tell you that they only sell to repair companies and such and not for individual use. So I went and looked somewhere else and run into these guys on Amazon. I haven't got it yet but I ordered it today. But it is a rev2 so hoping that it will turn out good.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KEQWS0/ref=ox_ya_os_product
So if anyone else is in the same boat where you just now want to get a FFC this seems to be a good deal. Just below $15.
Update: New link and it says it is a rev2 Whole Sale Gadget Camera (Revision 2) for Samsung i9000 Galaxy S
So I emailed Whole Sale Gadget and they said they only carry rev2 so that is what I will be expecting.
Update: So I got two cameras. One to replace the other. They both said Rev2 on them however the first one did not have a working front facing camera, and the second one the back end camera had a big green hue with a small area in the middle that looked normal. New area I am looking at is http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-camera-with-flex-cable/
Does anyone have experience with this company?
I believe that one is ver 1 though, some said amazon ships out v2 as well but not all. V2 is supposedly significantly better than v1. Just a heads up.

That's a rev 1 camera, I have one that I purchase from ebay with same ribbon prints.
I you want the real deal go with mobiletechvideos or rip the camera from a galaxy s 4g (ebay,craiglist)
here's a v2 i believe
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110794337211
it's labeled v0.2
Looks like your chances of getting a v2 from that Amazon vender is 50/50.
Remembering another thread, two guys received a v1 but then were sent v2s when they complained. One fellow and myself were sent v2s at first.

I haven't yet. I did email them and they said it is the stock rev2 camera. They also said that they have many customers ordering from the USA. Maybe if we pool together so we don't have to spend the huge amount of shipping individually. I don't know. The Amazon guys burned me twice with their useless cameras. Although they had very good customer service and not sure how I ended up with the two malfunctioning ones.

Was just wondering if anybody has a couple of hinge springs to get rid of? Will pay for them and shipping..... Thanks....
Try phone repair sites? Just did a quick search on eBay doesn't seem to be anything available like that.
I think he is referring to the hinge springs that was recommended by a guide a while back to fix the weak hinge in all g2s. Sorry mate I wished I had some left

Does anyone have a spring left
Hello,
I was in touch with McMaster-Carr yesterday and they're still not shipping outside of the US. Has anyone got a spring they're willing to sell, please PM me. Thank you in advance.
Just use the dimensions of the spring and search locally, they can be found at hardware and hobby stores all over every country, well most I'm sure. I have a few but I think it would cost you less just due to shipping to do a quick local search

Thank you for a very fast reply. I'll check around here if not I'll be in touch. Usually shipping from the US to Belgium is quite affordable and I've never had problems with customs either. Have a nice weekend.
spent disposable lighters
I used the spring of a spent disposable lighter. meshed 2 pieces springs together and replace my old spring hinge. works for me.

I like the creativity of that idea But this afternoon I talked to a friend who owns a crafts store over here in Bruges, Belgium and she told me that I'd be hard pressed getting the springs ordered via hobby stores. So I went ahead and ordered some in the UK at [a href=http://www.leespring.com/uk_product_spec.asp?partnum=LC022A05M++++++&springType=C&subType=]lLeesprings.co.uk[/a]. Specifications match, only downside is that I had to order 5 at the same time.
I'll let you guys know if this type works or not.
