For anyone who has a Galaxy S4 or S3 and your phone wont charge, it wont talk to the computer, etc, there is a very easy fix. The USB port that you charge the battery through is on a little replaceable board inside the phone, and this video very nicely details how to replace it. Sometimes a little moisture can get in there and corrode the contacts. Or, in my case, someone can break it for you. I was out one night, getting dinner, and I came back out to the truck to get my phone. Grandma and sister were in the truck, and my window was rolled up. My phone was in the car dock with my car charger plugged in. I asked grandma to unplug it and hand me the phone through the cracked window. Instead of pulling the USB cable straight out, she rocked it side to side. My phone was two months old when this happened. I was mortified. It still charges, but I have a hell of a time getting the cable to contact and the computer to talk to it. Most of the time, not, unless I hold it down with my hand a certain way and it works. Ive ordered my replacement USB board which out to be here around Monday. It wasnt expensive, it was only $9 bucks with free shipping, and shipped from California. So, if something happens like what happened to me, or your phone wont charge or sync with the computer anymore through the cable, dont freak out. Its easily fixed. youtube/watch?v=WCJcBltgE-I
