Oops, my bad, I was not aware you were looking for the actual button, I thought you meant maybe the button was not working, did not know you meant it is completely gone.

Not sure where to buy it but you can for sure replace it yourself. I had a customer's S3 St my Tmobile store that popped off because the case was too tight when we were removing it. I was able to line it up and pop it back in. If you can find just that physical button it is an easy fix.

I haven't been able to use mine as much but no issues so far. My friend though has been using it since day 1 of release with no issues. Maybe find a case that covers buttons so you won't notice? Buyers remorse?

[Q] repeat maybe...phantom keys?

I'm getting phantom keys that freeze my phones menu, home, ect. when my phone switches from 4G to 3G because of 4G signal loss. My battery isn't bloated. And I've tried going back to regular stock even but they don't go away. What could be the cause? Could it still be the battery? or is something wrong with my phone? Any help would be appreciated

The phantom menu key press is a known issue that will allow you to get your device exchanged or repaired regardless of having TEP or being in warranty or not. Bring it into a Sprint repair location and they will either replace the LCD/TSP assembly (if they have the part) or arrange for a replacement device.

Not true. They will charge at least $50 for the service. Its the deductible.

Should I go back to complete unrooted stock before I go to a sprint store to have them checked it? It would be nice to have the screen replaced or get a new phone lol

Sorry, but I work at a Sprint ASC repair center. They created an issue ID that allows for free repair or replacement of the device. Unless you are a Sprint ASC tech and use eTicket, then you obviously aren't aware of the recent addition of this policy repair/exchange.
Well, like you said, it is a recent change.

[Q] Odin mode without power button as an option?

My power button is so far gone that it doesn't work,at all.
How can I get into Odin mode so I can Odin back to stock if I have zero power button usability?
Any help appreciated.

Cool,thanks.
You might know,isn't it possible to buy a power button and replace it myself?
Of course. You can get them off of eBay. If you aren't too good with a soldering iron or have never used one, I suggest either going to sprint or looking up mobiletechvideos.

Here's some info I posted awhile ago. I've personally used this jig twice when I bricked and couldn't get my phone to boot. Works like a gem!

About $10 on eBay
I had the same problem on mine. New switch fixed the issue. (Pretty damn tiny, but if you have a good soldering station and a steady hand, it's not TOO hard to replace)

Motherboard switch

If I was to get a hold of a sprint s3 is there any reason I couldnt open it up pull the motherboard and replace it with my tmo s3 motherboard?

Pretty sure others have done this. Never seen how successful they were though.

Theoretically, yes, but theory is not always the same as reality.
