Hi guys,
I have been looking for the orignal 2100mAh battery for T-Mobile S3
emailed samsung's CS, just got a helpless reply.
I have searched online, ebay and amazon
Many versions.... at least i found 4 codes
EB-L1G6LLAGSTA
EB-L1G6LLU
EB-L1G6LLUCSTD
EB-L1G6LLZBXAR
Sounds the EB-L1G6LLU, is the one for the international versions I9300 and cheaper, I wonder if it fits, while samsung didnt tell.....
There is one seller in ebay (only one), saying this models fit ALL
EB-L1G6LLAGSTA.
Mobilefun has them for $26.

yup, i can see, but wondering the compatible models.
u know, the Galaxy S3, i9300, T-mobile S3, at&t S3 is not identical.
along with:
thecellguru (dot) com/Products/71619
expansys-usacom/info (dot) aspx?i=231984
I've tried to get clarification from Samsung on G+, phone support, chat support, and on twitter. I'm only getting combos of either nothing, incorrect info, and at best a lack of specificity.
i.e. twitter (dot) com/SamsungSupport/status/218696922276433921
I had purchased two batteries from here:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270988004890#ht_2427wt_1018
Seems legit to me in terms of how many items sold and the sellers feedback. I'm using the i747 as opposed to the i9300 but I decided to take the risk and buy it. If you want, you could wait until I get mine to see if they are legit or not. They may come some time next week.
I took the risk because I wouldn't be losing much at all. Only cost me 6 dollars, lol
This is normal battery.. So you can not use nfc functionality. Nfc support battery over 25 $

agreed~
And such aftermarket items,
probably got only 50%~60% battery life
(some may marked 3000mAh, high capacity....but in fact 1500mAh sth)
I had tested the so call golden battery (for S2) , with Battery Benchmark...=_=+
um....good luck

This is obviously not a genuine Samsung battery. It definitely won't have a NFC antenna

I got one from HERE. My friend got it (he lives in EU) and brought it here for me... I know, it could be a long shot...Btw, I ordered directly from Amazon.
Gonna order this Samsung S3 OEM Battery:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...1341203536&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+s3+battery
I just ordered this one.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EB-L1G6LLAGSTA-Galaxy-Standard-Battery/dp/B0089VO7OM
Choose the one sold directly by Amazon for maximum safety.
yea, Amazon provides quality items.
Regarding the third party item battery
i found this battery should be good, around $30 for 2pcs battery
Amazon ASIN: B008EI26HK
at least battery should be tested with software, resulting same capacity as the OEM one. :good:
Be careful, these battery no nfc too and against for i9300.
I purchased a two battery kit from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15083577052...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1334wt_1398
Both say Samsung, Cell made in Japan, Assembled in China. Both say Near Field Communication. Model # EB-L1G6LLU, both manufactured on May 16, 2012.
I cant test how they will work til next week when my Verizon GS3 is delivered.
Do all S3 variants use the same size (dimensions) battery? I found the international battery (EB-L1G6LLU) but would also like to purchase a spare charger but cant find one for the battery model # EB-L1G6LLU (International model)
Are there any words by Samsung regarding the three versions of the phone?
Especially Lte/Krait to Quadcore Versions?
In Europe you can order the Samsung original with NFC for around 15eur via Amazon sold by samsung
Hi all,
I know this subject has other threads but I was not able to find a direct answer for the gsm play store version of the gnex.
I'm looking for something quality that will not make the phone too unwieldy.
Thanks!

Really? I didn't think so. I was under the impression that the GSM and CDMA batteries we're NOT interchangeable. I found the official GSM extended battery from Samsung for sale on Nigrielectronics from other posts but it's sold out.
It's not available on Amazon and I can't find anything but shady looking vendors when I google.
Anyone have any ideas? I (think) know it needs to be the i9250 variety to work on the GSM (play store) version.
The Mugen battery is also listed as sold out.
I got mine on ebay. Took a couple weeks to arrive, tho.

Don't buy from expansys-usa, I tried to purcahse a battery from them (the extended OEM one) and they didn't restock for 2 weeks. I called them to ask when my battery was due and they said "we haven't delievered it", asked for a refund and they gave it me (although a bit rude). Go with shimshop on eBay, I personally brought one from the same shop and it was awesome. They give you a tracking number for international (you can track it here when it's overseas). Then you plug in the number into USPS and it tells you where it is stateside. Took about 2 weeks to arrive and the package was clean, sealed and no dents/scratches (the guy who sells them is very friendly and responds to questions very fast).

GSM batteries and CDMA batteries are NOT the same.
They DO use the same battery as other models though. One is the T-Mobile SGSII I think.
CDMA Verizon has its own extended battery.

I believe the TMo SII and Skyrocket batteries fit the CDMA GNex, not the GSM. I know for a fact that the Skyrocket fits the CDMA GNex, not sure about the TMo SII though.

I bought my note II off of amazon and got it yesterday. But something's been bothering me all along
1. There were no seals on the box that came, except for a one that was put on my the seller.
2. Most of the unlocked samsung phones I got were made in Korea. This was made in China,
3. I checked my IMEI number and the7th and 8th digits are 05, and I don't even know which country that is.
4. I can see that the seller carefully took off some sticker that was originally on the packaging.
The most bothersome is that the seal was not there. I know from all previous samsung phones that they come with seals of authenticity. And now I can't even get a full return since I opened it. Should I still be suspicious of this phone and return it? (The restocking fee is small)

Inspect the handset thoroughly. Run it through some strenuous benchmarks like AnTuTu, CF-Bench, or Quadrant repeatedly; put it under load to see if it's stable and doesn't crash/reboot. Look for physical/water damage, hairline scratches and cracks. Go over the thing CSI style; and if you find no fault(s) and/or defect(s), I'd say keep it. Then again, if you've just got one of those feelings, you may be better off returning it. You may have gotten a refurbished handset or one that someone else returned, but it doesn't sound like you got a fake. Also, I have heard stories like yours too many times to count. It's always the same.
i.e. "I ordered a Samsung Galaxy such and such from Amazon last week. Today, when it finally came, I opened up the shipping package to discover that the product's box had already been opened and that the Samsung tamper seal had been broken. Did I get a fake and/or used phone, tablet, etc.?"
If it's any consolation, your experience seems to be the norm on Amazon. Also, when you're in the U.S. and order an international handset, sometimes the seller breaks the seal and opens the box to remove the European, or Asian, or whatever power adapter was in there and replace it with a North American power adapter. Did your GT-N7100 come with a North American A.C. power adapter?

now that sounds realllll fishhy.
Write amazon and return it saying that Samsung doesn't recognize the devices serial number and that there was no seal on the box and you'd simply like to return it.
Did you get it from Amazon directly or from a seller dealer online selling through Amazon? I see the merchant program to be exactly like ebay. Suspicious in every way. I usually don't buy expensive electronics from eBay for that reason, you just never know. I leave screen protector and cases and other simple things to ebay and amazon direct for really important things. Or even stores gotta support real stores too sometimes if they're similarly priced.

That doesn't really mean much. It's an import, so Samsung US wouldn't have that info. Do an IMEI lookup online and see what info you get.
This'll tell you what model phone you have. Insert IMEI.

Samsung USA has never officially released n7100/7105 in USA. North American models are different but there are many American users with international version Note 2s. The International version of Note 2s are acquired by indirect route or third party. So they do not have it in the Samsung USA database.

Upload some pictures of it? people on here will be able to tell if its a fake or not, I had the same problem with ebay with the galaxy nexus. would tell me no sim is inserted and after a while i put in the manual apn setting and it finally registered that there was a sim in the phone. but that something completely different from your case. if it is fake hope you get a full refund as mine refused to refund me so i had to open a dispute and still never got a refund as id opened the box. good luck
The open box does not necessarily mean it's a fake. But it may be a returned item. Did all the accessory come in their original packaging? As for the phone itself if it's a knock off of it will most probably not have JB. And as another user suggested a simple benchmark test will tell you if you have a genuine note. And if its a knock off with same performance of the original..... Well its a knock off you want to keep!!! Looool
Post a pic.
It's real. Relax.
Hello guys got myself a T989 from walmart.com comes with the $30 prepaid plan 5gb high speed unli data, text and 100 minutes talk time. All for $330.
So I register on T-mobile website. I just notice that my phone is listed as "titanium and refurbished". My question is: Is there a way to know if it is really refurbished or not?
On Walmart website it did not indicated if it is refurbished. The impression I got it is a brand new unit. I would be very disappointed if it is
Was the accessories seal wrapt? Did the phone was without battery when you opened it? Was the battery in a plastic closing?

Everything was wrapped. The phone still has the protective film w/ some description of the button's function.The battery is in its plastic pouch. I was trying to locate the phone lifetime usage minutes but can't find it.
What set me off is when I went to T-mobile website to check on my account, under my phone is it indicated that it is a Titanium refurbish unit but they got the color wrong. mine is black
Titanium is there black.

I have Galaxy S2, Galaxy S 4G that I bought from T-Mobile directly as a refurbished device, and Galaxy S Vibrant.
T-Mobile website currently lists Vibrant as a refurbished device while Galaxy S 4 G does not show as refurbished. I would not worry too much about what T-Mobile website is showing you.
If it says "refurbished" than that's probably what it is. I've bought a few refurbished items and saved some money. Each one I purchased looked brand new, was wrapped, and had no visual cues that it was anything but new. But each item was clearly marked a refurb, so I knew what I was paying for. You might want to check Wal-Mart's fine print.
That said, I've had really good experiences buying refurbed stuff from Major retailers, like T-Mobile and Woot.com. I'd imagine wal-mart probably has similar quality refurbs since they are a large retailer, and the item you are buying is still in production.

If you went to Walmart and bought the phone and it didn't specify that it was refurbished than it is new. Bought this phone from Wal-Mart brand new not refurbished.

Same here. Got my T989 from Walmart.com a little over a month ago. T-mobile.com identifies it as "Samsung Galaxy S™ II - Titanium Refurbished". I've tried to confirm if it's refurbished or new with no luck. Nothing I can find on the phone or box to indicate refurbished and none of the RTN codes I've found work with this phone.
I think T-Mobile just says they are refurbished. Mine was definitely brand new and it still says that.

Hello fellows. Im here to ask i anyone of you people has some knowing about lg g4's with 404k serial number? If you check the imei (imeipro i think) it shows you the correct 505 S/N.
My only assumptions is that is a bootloop refurbished (in factory) phone, because its 100% legit. I've never heard or read anything about this 404 thing.
Anyone?
Thanks. Some pics for the hatters...
Ps: i got it from Amazon.com as "New Lg G4 GSM unlocked".
Lol. I think I have his answer in case he is still wondering
I'm guessing this phone isn't "new". If app shows you different number than on a sticker, there is definitely something wrong. Maybe 404k body with 505 motherboard that's why app shows that.
my h811 doesnt have same sticker.as picture
This is default number for every phone that has been factory refurbished by lg
It can be any lg phone. Not just lg g4
They will all have the same exact serial number that you have
What you purchased is a brand new in box sealed factory refurbished lg g4
Buddy kind of ripped you...but not quite
Its a legit LG G4 phone
What does refurbished means for you? If LG repaired this phone they should do something to match all serial numbers and imeis. If your codes mismatch it doesn't sound legit. Best way would be just contacting the LG and just asking them if it's legit or not.

It means
a ) someone bought the phone it bootlooped. It was returned to their carrier......carrier sent it to lg
Customer got a new phone
Lg repaired the motherboard Applied the 404 default serial number. Resold it to wholesaler
Motherboard is still the same board repaired with a return serial number applied to every phone that has been refurbished and intended for resale
Its legit.....its the same motherboard just a refurb number
It can be any motherboard....608 701 etc
One it is repaired....it is given the same serial number because it has been altered.....it no longer the real manufacture date
Its been remanufactured. All remafactured/refurbished get the same number.
If he was to pull out his board...it would have original number on it before it was serviced
What do you mean by LG resold the phone? Have you seen LG selling refubrished devices? Where? Also, i know that after replacing motherboard serial number will change, but they should change the sticker too. It's still S/N mismatch. If i bought phone with IMEI/Serial number other than on the box i would give it back immediately. Contact LG and show us reply, i would really want to see it.
You know what could happen? Someone could have 2 broken G4s and make it one "good". That's why it doesn't seem legit to me. If LG would say that your phone is legit, it's ok then.

Basicly this
Phone broke > return to carrier > customer receives new phone > original phone repaired > new housing or parts to make it look new > default return number applied > phone resold
Imei still same serial number. Still same motherboard
Sticker only has really changed
Can't service it without sticker
Lg now knows this phone has serviced before....this is way lg makes money. If it happens again to take loss for issuing new phone because of carrier

You just seen where it was resold, to a wholesaler online.
Its not a serial number mismatch
The motherboard did NOT change. It was repaired
The default refurbished number is just sticker issued by LG so in the future LG is going to make money off repair and reselling the repaired customer phone in order to offset the cost of giving the carrier a new phone for customer
Again the motherboard is the same...only sticker has changed
You could 1 phone out of 2 but the serial numbers would no longer match between the screen and motherboard.
LG knows everything.
Maybe it's true, but how can u know? If you bought it directly from LG(and u can't cause they don't sell phones themselves) i wouldn't complain. But buying phone off amazon with different serial numbers isn't making it legit to me.

I can't understand your english, but if his stickers says 404k serial number, and the app shows 505, IT IS MISMATCH. Do you get it?

THEREFORE default number on sticker

App will say original serial number
The number he has on his phone is for ALL phone that has been repaired.....not parts changed
It is REFURBUSHED
I don't think I can make it any clearer than that
The sticker is FOR LG to know it was repaired
They do this to make money it needs repair again
Without original sticker....they won't repair it. Only they issue the sticker. You can change parts from 2 phone into 1 but they will know
That's why it is 1 number......always the same one
You can't just make your own number or have 1 sticker and different parts and expect them to repair it
Basicly he has no WARRANTY
That's all

LG FIXED the phone made it look nice and put a sticker. That's why they use the same number.
They have a database.
That's all there to it
You can put 2 phones into 1 and make yourself a new phone.....what's the difference? You are paying LG anyway. Its going to cost you for the second phone to have 2 to make 1
At least if you have this phone number you know it was repaired by LG not blow joe
LG Refurbishes the phone and doesn't give warranty? So what's the point in buying phone that can't die any second? Is it even legal to sell things without any warranty? And how u know it was repaired by LG if i can put 505 board into some dead 404 G4 and it will be the same?

It is sold as REFURBISHED.....there is no lie about this. Warranty usually 60 days... If there is one
Why would you want to put a 505 board into a 404?
A 404 doesn't really exist. A 404 is a 505 608 701 or any number you can think of that has failed and has been repaired, casing changed by LG and stickered. It is now REFURBUSHED
The phone you have if it breaks, you return it to store... LG repairs it. It is now a 404 .....JUST THE STICKER changed to next person that buys it
There is no 404 model. A 404 is a sticker given to a repaired phone
The inside was not swapped out. It was repaired
The only guarantee you have is the phone works when it left factory, you have to pay for additional warranty, or you return it to Amazon after you receive jt
The only person that lied here is the Amazon seller. Claiming that it was brand new
If you buy one of these phones your not paying full price what it is going for at the time
You get what you pay for.
Go to any electronics store and ask them if they have a REFURBUSHED TV cell phone DVD player ..... And ask them what price is of refurbished compared to brand new and what is warranty on it
You are saving money by having no warranty
That's what happens when you buy off Ebay or Amazon.....you are looking for a deal
Otherwise you'd go to mobile store and pay full price

If I offer to sell you a Refurbished LG G8 with 60 days warranty for 1000 dollars instead of 1300 with 1 year are you going to buy it?
If you buy that LG G8 for 1300 at it needs repair in 1 year I send you a new one....LG is repairing your phone, changing casing putting a sticker it that says 404 serial number and sells it to wholesaler it is now also 1000 dollars
Still has the same serial number
Sticker says 404
Ahhh! Now i get what u mean! I guess u are right, but I would still contact LG to confirm that this phone is legit or smth. If it was bought as brand new it isn't true as u said.

Well like said it when it is Refurbished it is repaired, casing was and sticker was changed to 404
When they change the casing....that mean cosmetically now it will be perfect. They throw in new charger...new box...
Really looks like a brand new LG phone. Thats why some people choose this instead of buying from someone.
I doubt LG will offer anything. They know you have purchased at lower cost
You could always try....but remember you chose to pay less. They will likely not honor you anything
Tip: don't buy electronics online off eBay and amazon... Or ship it back in time before your return policy is up
