[Q] Looking to buy a FFC for my vibrant

Anybody selling these? All of the ones I've seen so far seem to have been claimed already
If not, where's the best place to get one? I'd like to get in within the next two weeks since I'm going on vacation, but I can't wait if needed

I know E-Bay has them and possibly other stores onlines, but not sure if they can get it to you within 2 weeks, but you could try

I just looked on Ebay. All of them seem to be shipping from Hong Kong and wont get here until April

Look under products section...
He also has a great video tutorial
on how to install the ffc

I bought one from Josh, super fast shipping.
Actually he was just putting "out of stock" on the revision 1 cameras when I placed the order.
He sent me the revision 2 cameras which do not have the binding issues coming with rev 1.
I installed it in my Vibrant and it works great!
Definitely recommend it!
You can find on mobiletechvideos.com

Thanks guys. I just placed an order for the FFC
I'm super excited!
Thanks again

you can get them from Globaldirectparts.com

For the time being...is Axura the only rom that works with this? That's what his video said anyway...I'd love to use it with Trigger.
NVM, found my answer.

I want one. Do u have to buy them im bulks?

How come are these so cheap on ebay? I wonder if they are of the same quality that are sold for a little more on other places.

They are cheaper because they come from Hong Kong, and it takes about 3-4wks for delivery. So your paying almost double to have it in a few days.

Yeah seen the mobile tech one looking to buy...

I have a v1 I'll be looking to sell soon (aka whenever I get around to it). Its not installed and packaged in its bubble wrap.
Anyone can pm me if interested. Probably looking about $15-20.

Definitly go with Josh at MobileTech videos. If you go through anyone else you may have to buy in bulk and wait up to a week. I ordered mine on Monday and received it Wednesday. If you're scared to install it then he can do it for you (for an extra fee of course). Can't get that through ebay or anywhere else.

I see nothing wrong with it from the specs on the page. Looks like something you should be happy with. Price is good enough if you do hate it though. So even though I don't own one I think you did OK...

I have the same one. Its cheap but it works great. My Tab spends most of it time in a dock on my desk but this case works great for a quick trip to the coffee shop. It slips in quick and easy and comes out just as easy. You made a good purchase. For under twenty bucks you won't be dissapointed

Both of you I thank you very much I'm very happy to hear from someone who owns one I'm still waiting for it to turn up I just wanted a case that i could slap on and the stand is a major plus thanks again guys

I have the first one listed on this page. You can find some great reviews in this section of the forum here too.
Just look for the pyroskins clip case thread. Almost all great reviews. Low prices and fast shipping even to countries other than the USA.
Had you not already purchased before posting I would have pointed you here. I still think you did fine with the one you choose. Durability and good construction would be my only concern, since you can't see that in pictures.

i guess it would be alright if you didn't have a real camera, otherwise i don't see why anyone would bother with this.

Don't buy it. I bought one for my samsung i8910.. Its the worst thing you could ever buy.
I bought it back in 2008.. funny enough I have it on my desk still. There is a black circle when using the camera.
Mine looks exactly the same as the OP's link.

AT&T Refubished S3, $49.99!

Posted this in the deals forum, but since it's today only I figured I'd x-post it here as well.

Awesome find.

That looks like a good deal, but I always wonder about the warranty (90 days vs. 1 year). I've had to send in 2 of my last 3 smartphones on warranty claims so I worry about this being a good deal.

Typically the good thing about refurbs are whatever the problem was it is now fixed. Puts my mind at ease when I think of it like that lol.

Receiving 3 crappy refurbished htc one x's in a week I will never buy a refurb.

Just got mine in today. Ordered a white model, its in perfect shape. Not a blemish on it. Screen is flawless. Even had all the accessories -- only thing missing is the box.

Same here. My white refurb arrived yesterday in perfect condition. Running CM10 now and loving it.

Replacing Galaxy 4 rear Camera PART DIFFERENCE

Update- If you are replacing your camera on your Tmobile Galaxy 4 Don't know about the other models make sure to not order the one most ebay sellers tell you is compatible with every model because is not and you will have to end up sending it back...... Double check you are getting the one I posted so you don't waste your time and money!!!!!!
So I dropped my gs4 broke the rear camera well camera is not entirely broken it displays just a white image...... But lets me switch out to front camera without no problem app doesn't fc or anything..... So I went ahead and ordered a replacement camera which said it was compatible with all gs4 devices when I received the camera i saw some difference by the plug but I didn't think it would matter " I ATTACHED SOME PICTURES " Well to make the story short when I connect this camera and try to open the camera app it gives me an error of connection failed or can't connect along those lines..... And makes the camera app close not even letting me switch to front camera or anything..... I tried this a couple of times reconnected my old camera connected just fine camera app worked fine.... connected new camere it just won't connect..... I'm figuring we have to use the version of the camera on the tmobile is different..... Here are some pics comparing them both
I RECEIVED THE TOP CAMERA AS THE REPLACEMENT THE DIFFERENCE IS THE TEXTURE THING BEFORE THE CONNECTOR IS WAY SLIMMER THAN THE TMOBILE ONE.... I BELIEVE SINCE THE OTHER ONE IS THINNER IS NOT MAKING ANY CONNECTION TO THE BOARD..... THE BUTTOM ONE IS THE ORIGINAL AND A PICTURE I FOUND OF A TEAR DOWN OF A TMOBILE GALAXY 4

Any1 ever had to replace their camera ?????

Which camera replacement did you order?

The camera you took out looks like the same as the ifixit teardown; they did the ATT version. They do note that it barely makes contact with the board...not sure if there's something you can do to help 'secure' it in there...

Yea I tried a bunch of times today it won't work even pushing the little connector piece down it still fails u could tell is the wrong camera since the connector that goes to the board literally stays in the air u have to push it down making the other plug almost pop out to touch the board but it won't work

That sucks bro.. makes the 8/10 repairability score unworkable when there are different components and nothing is documented

The same problem solved!
Hey guys,
I had the same problem and was getting message that camera is failed to lunch. However, I ordered at one place the camera for my SGH-M919 and it worked. Since XDA does not allow me to post links, I would suggest to write me a private message and I will share the place where I bough the camera. Hope, it helps because many sellers on ebay keep saying that all S4 cameras the same which is not!

I have not replaced the camera but this is just a suggestion so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe you can use some solder to make contact if it is too thin?

I literally put a thin piece of paper to make it lift up so it would touch and is not enough even if u press them together they won't connect..... I would suggest just looking for the tmobile version and just plug n play

Well, solder is a metal alloy. Not sure paper is a viable option.
