Need to find replacement micro USB port!!!

Long story short the micro USB port on my Nexus is shot and I can't find a new board to replace it anywhere. Anyone know where I can find one?

eBay? Google it? They're getting em somewhere... they being all the people with this issue.
You might try sticking like a screwdriver in the port and straightening the pins out (with the phone off and battery out!). I read that may work. I actually read it here... Search here?

Wireless Charging

With news that the Nexus 4 Wireless Charging Orb is being release in February, I'm curious to know if anyone has tested out this ability on their LGOG..... If specs are very similar to the Nexus 4, would the Charging Orb work....
It would be sweet to get this or some sort of wireless charger for our LGOG :fingers-crossed:

won't work

There has to be a wireless adapter usually on the back of the battery door for it to work. Unfortunately the nexus 4 has it, and the LGOG doesn't.
Some companies make aftermarket adapters for popular phones, however with a so called "non-removable" battery, it doesn't seem likely for us. But we can hope...

I tried to remove it. But its glued to the back of the screen. Didn't want to mess up the battery. LOL.

I read somewhere that with a little ingenuity and a soldering iron you could essentially make the OG compatible. Having never soldered anything in my life I ignored it, but try googling that if you feel capable of doing something like this.

I wonder how easy it would be to install the Palm Pre's touchstone coil in this phone, or if it's possible to install the Qi charging coil from an N4.....

I was wondering the same thing. I looked in the service manual and it seems that the same 2 powerpoints are on the Samsung Galaxy S 3 are also on this device. Can anyone confirm that these 2 points to the right of the battery are for charging contacts?

I have a couple of touchstones around somewhere. My biggest fear for this mod would be the pressure from coil pushing on the inside of the glass back.

So I know this isn't exactly what you guys want, but it may be worth a shot.

Are you talking about under the battery door? If so those are for NFC

[Q]Nokia DT-900 Wireless Charging Plate

Hi Guys,

Do you mean the wireless charging mod? There is actually a video showing how to do it without the need of soldering. I'll find it and post it for you man. Hopefully you will be able to try out the Nokia chargers.

Has anyone tried it yet? It would be very interesting, if the DT-910 works for the Note II with mod.

Charger port - not good build quality?

I'm now on my 3rd S3 which thankfully is still covered by warranty. I really would like to avoid having to go through this over and over but I'm not sure how to avoid the charger port not working properly over time. I don't think I've done anything really to provoke it. I think the case might have angled the port a little so I'll likely stop using that case
I'm curious though - is anyone else experiencing this? Looks like I can do self repair but it would require soldering skills which I don't have

What case do you have?

Yes, have had one phone replaced already. This one is flaky as well. Bought a wireless charger for it, but have to use air droid for file transfers.

Is induction charging possible with just the coil behind the battery cover

It looks like that is the case. I'm going to try it out myself. Ordered the receiver from Fast Time and a Nokia wireless charging pad from AT&T

I'm having a similar issue in that I cannot charge the phone via the USB. It starts to charge but then the LED goes off. By the morning I am down to 3% charge after 7 hours of being plugged in. I have tried 3 different batteries, 4 cables and ac adapters. I reflashed to stock and then had a Samsung guy at Best Buy reflash again. Same thing happens. The only way I can charge is with an external battery charger or if I use an iPad was charger with my USB cable...go figure.

My S3 is only a couple months old, but so far, it's holding up nicely. Is the issue actually with the charge port, or with lint from your clothes preventing the charger from connecting to the pins in the port?
No phone could have a worse charge port than the Evo 4G. I was lucky to never have an issue with it, but I know tons of people did.

I cleaned the lint out, but it still would not work properly. I also tried different batteries, cables, wall ports, usb ports, everything.

There is two pin near NFC contacts.
Il you connect 5V wired cable you can charge battery and shunt usb port.

if it is the micro usb on the phone that is banjaxed and it is to difficult/expensive to repair you could always get a back cover that supports wireless charging and a charging pad

Is it phone or charger micro usb problem? If phone port is out of order then you can buy dock battery charger and one spare battery . After charging put battery in phone and keep other battery for charging in dock. If cable is out of order then you can use other mobile microusb cable too as I am using LG phone charger. however one has to be careful as different adapters

you can get those wireless charging docks which uses NFC.

Thanks 4 all da support
