What is This Part and is it Needed? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so honestly I can't remember if it was on the tab S as it was with the Note, my memory sucks, but the clear black plastic bit at the top of the tablet above the camera, it seems to of broken away at some point, maybe when I was having my battery replaced, and I just wondered if anyone knew what that bit was and if it's needed for anything, like should I have it fixed if that's even possible or does it not even matter?

Is it the remote control infra red emitter/receiver.
It is transparent dark plastic.
John.

Okay I could not find an image of the Tab S from the correct angle, but in this image of a different tablet, the black bit I circled in red is the same type of piece as what I'm asking about.

Yes it is. Is it needed? All the insides are still there, just not the dark plastic.

Not really , your ir blaster will still work ok, but dust and **** will get into the internals which is not a good thing, thats the primary function of the bit of plastic.
Ebay prob best bet for replacement

At least use clear tape, so it's functional and cosmetically not as bad.

Yea it's ok
I think it looks pretty sexy. I'd like a white one with purple dots.
Doesn't look like it has very good shock-protec'.
Though it definitely isn't the same, this is about the closest I've seen:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=46523&cat=5095
Cut up some golf balls and glue them on.
Other then the fact that it doesnt cover the top or bottom, I do like it. Is it a hard case or is it like the one peice Body Glove case...I do like it tho..
I ordered the one that pino had linked up above on ebay for I belive $8. Waiting for it to come in and will post pics.

Hox turning yello

The speaker grill white part just above the screen of my white hox has started turning yellow while the back is still all white...
At there, it is looking like an old phone must be because of touch with the face while calls...but thats not supposed to be i think...
How can i make it look white again?
Thanks...

Assuming it's not the plastic itself that's discolored, try something like this...

hi
if ur using the white one it is a problem i had a white phone long time back and yes all this coloration to the body happens
the closes solution i see get one of those covers(those rubberized covers not getting the exact name sorry) for the back and use it that way it will look good and u also protect ur phone from getting more coloration problem:good::laugh:

whats the hole on the right side of my note 3?

Ok guys....heres the question as stated above, there is a tiny hole on the bottom right hand corner of the phone, on the side, slightly to the right of the stylus?
basically, I broke my glass a few days ago....i got attacked by a very vicious ****ing dog....and my phone fell during that ordeal, and the glass cracked, ive since then replaced it....but you guessed it...i accidentally cut this sensor here on the Menu/Back key ribbon assembly...Ive noticed NOTHING absolutely NOTHING different in Operation, then again, im not sure what the sensor was for, i did see somewhere the phone is equipped with a Barometric sensor, maybe this is it? in that case i could care less, if i didnt have to take the glass off id replace it, but unless its important im not going to, but can anyone tell me what it is for sure? in the picture i posted its to the right of the back key.

Cool thank you much bud, well, luckily i have no use for it, just a pointless feature for me, but i would like it working someday again, but im not removing the glass again and putting more LOCA glue just to get that working, unfortunately the stupid menu/back button ribbon is under the glass.
but thank you for the info glad i was right

[Q] How to make a white one black?

Is there a way for me to make my white sgs3 black? I can get a battery cover, but I want the front black as well.
The cosmetic designer for the sgs3 must have had some strange ideas, the actual black version wasn't even black, more of a scratched dark grey, and there is no way that I'm buying a custom front glass, not with the hair-dryer procedure.
If there isn't a way, I'll be fine, but I really want a black one without using decals.:fingers-crossed:
Just get a case that covers it up... It's a lot less work. Amazon has them cheap. Better protection, looks like you want, win-win.

I want to have the glass on either side of the screen unobstructed, and I want the cosmetic appearance of a phone that isn't covered, What I want is some sort of shaded screen protector, one with the bezel area black and the screen completely clear

What about this?

Or would it be one of those things that would tear after a week?

That would work for the front. As for durability, that depends on the quality of the material they use.
and would it blend in with the screen? I'm going for the effect on the last few nexus phones, not the effect on the s4.

Quick Photos... iPulse Journal S8+ Case

Ok, so I picked up the iPulse case on Amazon. Most of the time my phone is bare or with a non-flip case but when I travel or have a business meeting, I dress it up a bit and I can leave my wallet at home. I really hate PU Leather and wanted something that acted like a stand too. Am I asking too much? Yes... but I did find ALMOST everything I wanted in this case.
The case holds up to 3 cards (or 3 cards and a license like I did). The feel is totally premium.
The case that holds the phone is surprisingly soft and the cut outs are perfect. Buttons on the left are easy to get to. There is enough room in the middle to get to them.
I have 2 gripes. One, the pocket is supposed to hold paper cash BUT its just barely small. As a result, its kinda useless. The other is that I wish the corners were rounded more because it feels a little bulky and that would help tons. It is totally worth the price though. Link to it is here.
