search usb jig on ebay buy any its not phone specific any jig works with epic touch 4g... i would post a link but i just gave you the information u needed

I bought one from dealextreme dot com for $1.60 shipped. I would post a link, but my post count is too low. Search for USB jig on the site. The D710 is not listed as a supported device, but it does work. The only downside is that it took about two weeks for delivery.

I tried looking on eBay for a USA seller but gave up. I found a site in the usa, but its more expensive and I can't vouch for them. Usbjig.com
I'm guessing you'd get it quicker than if it were shipped from the other side of the world.

I just ordered one from here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/29063037698...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1955wt_1140
Should be here within a few days. History said 79 sold and he is at 100% feedback so I'd recommend you buy away

I bought one off amazon. went that route so i could get next day shipping.

Same. Husker, did you already try to bring it back to Sprint after using the Jig? If so, how did it go?
I'm a little apprehensive about it.

Here is the link for the one I got. http://usbjig.com/ Its a little more pricey at $5.50, but I would recommend. Really fast shipping like 2-3 days, works well, have used it a few times. No complaints here

I bought one for amazon for $5.50 I believe. It's from a seller in South Carolina so I hope it'll come soon. Make sure you buy it from a US seller though because most are from Hong Kong and they take weeks to come

I just ordered one of these....looks pretty legit. We'll see.....
Thanks for the suggestion.
(i'm too new to post the real link, but you get the idea)

Two in a week!? ::shakes head in disbelief::
She should have got you a flip phone for borking two phones in a week.

I got this one off Amazon... was $0.01 + shipping (Shipping was like $4.something)
I tested it and it works exactly as described.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ils?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1330136136&sr=8-2&seller=

Looked like one guy didn't know how to use it and another bricked the phone so bad it didn't do anything.

Be prepared to possibly get one with worse, or different problems.
I think I lucked out and got a pretty good one, first buy. But I have heard a lot of people saying it takes their 3rd or 4th phone before they get one that's just right.

It's really not a "defect", per se, it's just what these screens do. If you get a replacement, it's going to have the same problem eventually as well. Just kinda have to accept it for these types of displays.

[Q] Buying Used GS3, What to look out for?

So I'm thinking of buying a Used GS3 or Nexus 4. Since the GS3 has expandable memory that's what I'm leaning towards.
Anyway, what kind of things should I ask/look for when getting a used GS3 other than scratches and cracks?

The best and safest thing you can do is meet the seller at a Tmobile retail store. Have an employee check the status of the phone. They can even make a note that the phone has been sold and the original owner cannot report it stolen or lost.

I've been looking at Swappa so that might not work, but I'll keep that in mind if I can find a local seller.

Swappa is fine along as seller is verified. He's talking about meeting the guy if you're buying it from craigslist

The biggest thing you need to look out for is the screen is in good condition, IMEI isn't blacklisted, and obviously that the phone isn't hard bricked.

Any common problems with the phone? (For example, the Nexus 7 screen lift.)

I've never encountered any issues with my S3 and I use it constantly. I'd just make sure the phone isn't stolen or blacklisted. Back in the day I bought a phone off of eBay, went to activate it, turns out it was stolen...

No, nothing I can think of and I've had mine since December now, almost 6 months. I also do have Nexus 7, but I don't think I even have a screen lift problem with it.

I bought and returned 3 Nexus 7s early on because of problems like the screen lift so it's why I ask.
I also saw that some Nexus 4s had some back glass lift problems and the HTC One has some separation/cracking issues.
I don't think I've read anything about the Samsung phones though other than the plasticky feel.

sorry, your device does not have a back facing camera

Just get hands on my new nexus 7 (2013) from Bestbuy, but it has no Camera app, and after I install one it shows that I have no rear camera!!!
How can I deal with it?
PS: I live in China and this model was from USA.

Are you sure you didn't get the 2012 version? Do you see a camera lens on the back?

I would try doing a factory reset and flash newest stock if you can. Most likely it is a defective unit and it will have to be replaced... Its going to be tough if you got it imported.

Should be under warranty with Google...
Wipe and return to stock then send to Google for fix.

If the person that bought it is a silver premier member there is a 60 day return window, I'd check with them and find out.

Asus takes care of the repairs (unless purchased through the play store) . From what I hear they are a pain to work with.

You're right, I had an ASUS gaming laptop and they are definitely a PITA to work with!
Good reason to buy from Google, I suppose.
The downside to buying from Google is that you have to pay taxes if you buy from Google (at least in my location).

Did you try downloading a different camera app from the market to see if you get the same error? That way you can rule out software.

Maybe you should remove the back cover then check the camera connector.

Yes, i am in the south US, It took about a week to get it. I paid for the DHL 3-5 day I think. I ordered on a Thursday and got it the next Saturday. I would recommend getting it from there. the cost is the same, the delivery time is only a day or so longer but you get the correct part. A few bucks cheaper and a tad faster delivery doesn't mean crap if you can't put a working camera in your phone. FIXEZ.com ended up sending me the wrong part a total of 3 times. The first two were the camera for a I9500, which simply will not work and the third was a I9505 camera but the wrong core. The'tech" I spoke with kept saying he was going to personally pull the part. Witrigs is the way to go
