Bought 2 Galaxy Nexus 3800mAh batteries. Can't use either. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I bought two non-NFC batteries for my CDMA (Verizon) model Galaxy Nexus and received them today.
Sadly, they're both for the i9250 (GSM) version and won't even begin to fit.
I'd love to trade with someone who made a similar (but opposite) mistake as me.

How come the battery capacity shows 1850mah? Shouldn't it be 1750?
And is this a "yakju" build phone? JUST KIDDING, ZephiK.

it is the i9250, sold by 1saleaday, it show returns accepted.

VZN Galaxy Nexus: Made in Korea? Made in China?

I had the Galaxy Nexus on VZN on launch day. It was made in Korea. About a month ago I had returned it due to unforeseen water damage and it was stuck in bootloop. Under the warranty and Best Buy insurance, they sent it back and 3 days later I received a refurb Nexus made in China. Now is there a difference between the two? aside from one being a refurb?
[Stock on both phones.]
I heard that the Made in China ones are built better than the Made in Korea ones.

What difference would it be? ... if the phone works, it works.

Extended battery w/NFC for play store gnex

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!

I pretty sure the play store version and every other version are the same just cdma vs gsm

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).

+1 for shimshop - very happy with mine
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 from shimshop before as well. Great buying experience.

Now only if Samsung manufactured this with a white battery cover.... boy would that be fantastic. This phone in white just looks wayyyyy too good.
+1 for simshop on eBay. Took two weeks to receive the order, but I have been using it for several months now, even the NFC chip in the battery works perfectly.

Yeah, tell me about it. I've been using the 2000mAh battery for a long time now and just decided to upgrade to white (to fix some small scratches) and now I am going to lose 250mAh :crying: Sucks to have Mugen 4000mAh and Sammy 2000mAH batteries laying around not getting any love.

Is the Galaxy Nexus ZeroLemon battery compatible?

I'm wondering if any Tmo SII users out there have tried to fit the Galaxy Nexus ZeroLemon battery into their phones.
Are the dimensions on this battery too big or awkward? Even if it does fit... is there a case that would even fit it?
i believe it only for Verizon SCH-i515 / Sprint SPH-L700 ONLY

Obviously that's what the marketing says, but XDA established a long time ago that Tmo SII and VZN Nexus use the same standard battery size.
I was wondering if any venturous individuals attempted to fit the ZeroLemon in a Tmo SII, to see if the odd shape of the ZeroLemon will fit.
