i9250 vs i515 Battery Door, Does NOT Fit

Just wanted to make you guys aware that the battery door for the i9250 does NOT fit the i515 for Verizon.
I bought two from the link listed below to use on the two Galaxy Nexii in my house to get rid of the awful Verizon branding and was unable to get either of them to clip onto the phone properly. Only a few of the pins just do not quite line up in the exact same position and appear to have a different design that doesn't clip properly.

What's really sad is the texture of the i9250 door is a much softer touch, much more noticeable than on the i515. I mean, it really feels like something worth bragging about like Samsung did at their Unpacked presentation when they originally announced the phone.
Also, I notified the seller of my mistake and requested a refund and instead he said I could keep them and he was just credit me what I paid minus shipping. He definitely got 5-star feedback and highly recommend him, even though the items he sells take longer to arrive from China.

Sigh, Samsung should of just made the god damn GSM version identical in form factor and just put in a bigger battery.
All this fragmentation in hardware just makes everyone's life more difficult in finding accessories as well.

For those interested, I found the following three sellers that list a battery door without the Verizon branding that specifically states that it is for the i515 and not the i9250.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-ba...225?pt=Batteries_Chargers&hash=item1c1da723c9
I contacted the three of them and all of them confirmed that it indeed for the i515 as they have separate parts which are internally labeled as "i9250" inside the door itself whereas these specifically show "i515" on them. I bought two and was told I can return them if they don't fit. I'm hoping they do and they have that smooth feeling I really liked. I'll update this post after I get them.

Wow you must really hate VZ if you're willing to pay $20 for a flimsy piece of plastic.

To brand a Nexus device is a mortal sin and I would pay double to correct this injustice if I had to.

From the pictures, it looks like it won't fit. Because at the bottom they have 3 clips like the one in the op has which (if I read correctly) doesn't fit.
Now if only they made a non branded extended battery cover. That'd be great. My case covers up the back for now though. I'll be fine for now. I definitely was hoping to hear the GSM back fit the LTE back.

I thought i read somewhere (cant remember the android site) that you could use a x-acto knife and cut the extra tab's and it will fit?
If you do try this would you let us know if it does fit then?
I would love to get one and do it then.

I just received the back covers that are specifically manufactured for the i515 from one of the Chinese sellers I listed earlier. I can confirm with much disappointment again, that these also do not fit properly. They are certainly closer, but there is still one tab on both sides that is in the wrong place and causes the case not to clip properly. I did try shaving these clips off to get it to fit and while it does now, one of the sides has about a half-mm of give to it since the hole for the clip is now empty and not holding the door in place.
Color me disappointed.
Edit: I reached out to the seller and he has already gotten back to me. He has told me that he now carrier 3 (three) different battery doors for the Galaxy Nexus and is requesting I send him pictures of my original door for comparison to send me out the correct one. Third time's a charm?

Dang hopefully this one will work

Hardware fragmentation? Are you serious?
You do realize that part of the increased form factor is due to the LTE radio correct? And that adding a battery doesn't create the same form factor?
Its a business decision. Plain and simple. Does it make sense to drop more money to fit ALL the units with 1850 mAh battery? Not really. The GSM radios does not drain as heavy as the LTE, so why do it?
The different between a 1750 mAh battery and 1850 is barely anything and not worth screwing up the form factor of the smaller device.
You don't get your cake and get to eat it too.

HUGE thanks to OP!!! Found this post moments before buying the white i9250 back for my VZ Nexus. *phew!* Dodged a bullet. =)
I'm hoping the dude I quoted is joking or just a troll... if there's seriously anybody out there that is buying a back with an enormous Google logo on it as well as a Samsung logo, but still feels that now their device is "unbranded" b/c it merely has both the hardware manufacturer and OS manufacturer adverts, but NOT the carrier logo... Well, try Googling hypocrite or retard.

Now that Sprint is getting an LTE nexus it is only a matter of time until we can get a battery cover without Verizon on it. It probably won't cost much either. Hang in there guys!

How are you going to thank me and then indirectly insult me in the same post?

Back on topic, I got a message back from the eBay seller. He was apparently waiting to hear back from his Samsung supplier for an answer to the same questions I had and did not receive a response. He, like the previous seller, agreed to refund my payment in full. He also said he would contact me once he received any more info about the other back covers they have or will have available soon.
So the hunt continues! I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

They took a page from Motorola too,....bought a RAZR and a month later the white razr came out. Gave it to my wife, bought the Nexus, a month later a white one is coming out.

Aww man, this blows! lol I just ordered the 16GB version yesterday from Daily Steals for $560. I'll have to think this over, and consider canceling and maybe wait for the 32GB.

found another article.. think this picture of the white one, actually makes it look somewhat nice looing

i dont know about the white model, but i already requested a RMA # and return shipping from amazon for my current gnex. 16gig is just not enough... im in subways a lot so google music doesnt really help, its great until i go underground

You can make it go offline mode by downloading your music via Google Music.
Can't really blame Google though. Blame the MTA for the lack of internet service underground whereas other countries already have this technology to provide 3G/4G service underground.

Why is this a surprise?...this happens with almost all android phones. White versions getting released after some time and we all knew 32gb is coming down the line since there was a 32 gb verizon version.

does verizon have exclusive rights indefinitely or just for a a few months.. any ideas?
because if this phone ever comes out on t-mobile, i will give the 16gb to my brother and use the upgrade i have to get the 32gb

until it's confirmed by samsung/google these are just rumors from shops. feel free to return your device, but you may just be buying the same thing again in a month if this all winds up to be fake.
even those white pictures are from a user at droid-life.
*edit* i stand corrected. just saw in another post an actual statement from expansys that they are getting the 32Gb black version most likely in about 4+ weeks. However, they also said that it would be 599 UK. (i don't know how to make the pound symbol) meaning that the price for import will probably be around $800 again verses the $650 you can get the 16Gb for now.
anyway, it's your money. Personally, there are ways to increase the 16Gb. I have an OTG cable and plug in a 32GB microSD card that has all my videos in it.

The white won't flow with the screen/OS as nicely as black, but damn, it looks nice.
As for the 32gb version, eh couldn't care less. Wifi or service everywhere I go, and if usage becomes a problem I just tether to my Sprint line.

White..... not so much.
32gb? /: damn! Can't believe it!

Well the GSM versions, you can always buy a white plastic shell. I don't know if they'll make the white version of the Verizon model. I'm not too concerned about color. I never owned a white device, but my GF has a white TPU case for a year and its brownish yellow.
When I bought an iPad 2 some years ago, I was in line talking to the Apple guys about black or white. They said the white's end up nasty and yellowish.
I think I'd rather stick to black.
As far as 16 vs 32... thats a valid concern. Obviously more expensive. I can't see how 16gb is "not enough" but whatever.
I don't think you need EVERYTHING in your collection with you at once. The average song length is 4minutes. There are 24 hours in a day. If you listened to music 24 hours, you could only listen to 360 songs. Add some variety and spice and quadruple that. That's 1440 songs, or enough to listen for 4 days without hearing a repeat. 1440 @ 5mb = 7.2gb. With Cloud storage, you should be ok.
Same with Movies. You only need a few movies on you at once. 480p is great for mobile applications. The screen is so small that the difference is miniscule.
Throw some backups, flashable roms, apps, games < 16gb.
You can also use a USB host cable to connect a thumb drive. But if you ABSOLUTELY must have the 32gb version for whatever reason, I would be thinking about it. We all knew from day 1 that there was going to be a 16 and 32gb version. The white is a surprise though.
There are tons of people looking for Galaxy Nexus's in the Marketplace. Sell it and wait it out.

pretty much my feeling. I'm using the internal for pictures, some small movies/shows, and music.
then i have a OTG cable and a 16GB microsd that i'm using when i want to watch a full movie. i also have a 1TB hard drive that works with my tablet for anything else. and i'd say 99% of the time, if i'm going to be on a long trip and need that much entertainment, i'll have the tablet/harddrive with me.
plus, as you said. cloud storage as well.

Google or Verizon have not explicitly stated about the exclusivity but it's pretty obvious and lots of tech sites believe the same. I do think eventually you will see Nexus on other US carriers like the nexus s, but nothing confirmed.
My suggestion is use your upgrade to buy a subsidized phone, sell it on ebay or here in marketplace and then use that money to buy the 32gb. You still have to put some money on top but still better than full $800 or what ever.

Anyone serious about the lifespan of their phones are gonna be rockin' some sort of skin or case anyway. In that case what does it matter what color it is. The memory issue, hey that's a matter of preference.

I guess the 32GB GSM version gives me another excuse to hold out a bit longer from getting the Galaxy Nexus.

I see the white version like this. Would you buy a nice gunmetal grey car or a white one?
I also think that the onscreen buttons will look out of place. On the black one it all looks uniform like the whole front is the screen.
And white will go yellow and if it gets a scratch any dirt will sit in the scratch and be visible.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus (ENGINEERING) Model?

Hey Everyone... Originally when I got my GNEX, I could have sworn that when I tried to unlock/root it, it had been easier than a lot of the instructions, but I didn't think too much about it at the time. (I got it directly from a VZW wireless store) I think at this point, it was already unlocked. Now that I've changed phones, I wanted to prep this one for selling, and I was trying to follow instructions on how to reset/relock the phone, but it doesn't seem to let me lock it with the fastboot oem lock commands... but if this is an engineering build, should I even bother? Or can I sell it as is and just state factory unlocked?
Here is an image of my "About Phone" after flashing back the google images that I downloaded from here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I tried -looking- for a factory unlocked CDMA version to judge it against, and can't even seem to find any, am I just missing something? Are people selling them somewhere else?

You won't find a "Factory Unlocked" model, AFAIK they don't make them. What you have is somewhat unique, although not that useful since it's a Nexus device. If you want more info on what exactly you have this thread has a decent overview if you read the first 2 pages: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461386 Bottom line, your fine to sell it as is.

To the right person you will get more just because it is an engineering model! If I were you I would bank on that!!

If its rare people will pay, just due to the fact that no one else can get it.
I personally am the type of person you want to sell this to. I buy tons of stuff for hundreds more just because I collect tech.
***Speaking of which, if anyone knows someone that owns an original 20gb PS3 I am looking to spend $400 or more depending on condition. Been looking for 3 years. Also looking for a copy of Super Metroid for SNES, I`ll pay $60 with out box, $100 in box***
Anyways yeah, if I didn`t already own a Galaxy Nexus and was not in the process of looking for a Galaxy S2 White (perferably from France to use here in Canada) I`d pay around $800 easy.

No I don't sorry.
Only reason I threw out the $800 number is because, really its not that much more you'd pay buying a "normal" phone really.
I still remember paying something like $700 after tax for the Xperia x10 (ouch bad device) and another $700 for the Xperia Arc (Better device but still too much IMO)
$800 is not that big of a jump, and you are getting something truly unique.
***On a side note: I bought the Xperia x10 and my wife's first iphone, the white 3GS the same day...I think the total was like $1400. Imagine my surprise learning my brand new "latest tech" android didn't support multitouch....mmm still feel that burn! Oh well I guess 2 finger touch ended up being supported later, but by then I was on the Samsung Captivate. Loved the Captivate!***

Used daily for about 3 weeks daily, with a screen protector installed @ verizon when I bought it. Somehow it still managed to get a tiny line in it near the front camera in the upper right... you have to have the light hit it just right to see it, I tried getting it in the pictures here but could not. I took the screen protector off now to show how clean the real screen is, there's some dust on it though.
The pictures came out a bit too big that I'd want to post here, you can see them here:

I still have the original box and books, but am not sure which usb cable or where the actual wall wart is right now that came with it.

I lost my precious Note 2 after five days!! :(

Well I managed to drive off with my T-mobile Note 2 on my fricken hood of my car!! What a dumb ass I am! LUCKILY, as I have been preaching about, I had the Monthly4G insurance and it's going to cost me $130.00/deductible for a brand new one... I went to put the groceries away and put my daughter in her car seat and it totally slipped my mind... I NEVER do that.... Oh well... Just glad I had the insurance!! Protect your devices people cause an accident could cost you $700 instead of $130... I am soooo mad at myself!!

DUI?
Glad you have insurance

I did that with my G1 once, 3 mile drive from the mall back home and OMG, the phone was still there. No case, just that beautiful rubber grip it had. I miss that phone.

sorry to hear that.... :-/

Hi OP, just fyi if u bought the phone at full price via a credit card (maybe on contract works too) your card may protect against accidental damage for 90 days (thats what my card does - citi)

I did the same with my EVO 4G last year. At walmart, I put the phone on top of the car, put the shopping cart back, got in the car and drove away. I remember hearing some noise in the back and I was like "what did my wife leave in the back thats rolling around like that". This was at 2am in the morning and I lived 5 miles away from the store. I was doing about 60 miles an hour back and a rabbit jumped in front of my car, I tried to avoid it but hit it. Once I got home is when I realized what I did and I was like in panic. I rushed back to the store, this time doing like 70 and on the way said a little prayer to God, "please anyway you can show me a little miracle here". Got to the store and looked in the area that I drove away at and couldn't find it. A voice in my head said, "Just look in the back of the car". I went and looked and the phone was on my back windshield!!!! Nothing really holding it securely, the very sec I touched it, fell into my hand. I really believe that was a miracle because no way the phone should have stayed on the back glass like that especially with me speeding and swerving 10 miles.

JUST to confirm I'm reading this correctly, with the insurance they'll replace the device for $130? I cracked a lil of the glass, nothing major, but that's a VERY reasonable price to replace this blessed of devices!

Check the terms of your policy. In general, broken glass only qualifies for repairs/part replacement.
I'd file a claim for lost phone instead if you think the glass damage is more than $130. hehe

If you claim your phone was ran over by a car or lost than you would get a new one... Don't know what they would do with physical damage but this model is so NEW that there is definitely NO refurbs... :good:

YUP!

Glad it wasn't other way around lol! We all know how much we love our devices and takes care of them like our baby. Can you imagine if you had left your daughter on top of hood while you put note 2 in a car seat.... <_< lol no insurance would cover that!

Ya I don't think she is quite that small to leave on the hood but I definitely would rather lose the phone.... :laugh: Though I think the note 2 may be able to be strapped in the car seat....

This ain't all my devices. I've sold or given away a bunch of my phones. (a black Note 1, Sensation 4G, Vibrant, Galaxy S2, 2 iPhone 3GS are just some I can remember off the top of my head)

Sorry to hear. I'd cry but good deal on the insurance
From the Best: Note 2

Let us know if Asurion gives you a hassle. My note fell out of my tank bag this morning and I have to call for a replacement too. I have heard so many horror stories, I'm afraid to do it.

UH-OH protection sent me a used, scratched up replacement

I just received my replacement for uh-oh protection, and the replacement is a used phone with scratches and marks everywhere. I was told on the phone that I would get a new phone. Did you guys get an old or new phone?

For a screen replacement on my M8, I received a used one with a minor scuff on the side. When I had it replaced under warranty, I received what looked like a new phone.
Not sure if it's different with uh-oh. You can try reading the print on their uh-oh plan to have physical evidence to show them if you were suppose to receive a new device or certified like new. Their live chat support is available in which you can also say that you received a replacement in bad condition to see what happens.
Best of luck.

Agreed with the above. Not sure, as never used Uh-Oh, perhaps other folks can chime in.
But I'd contact them anyway to complain and ask for another device. Even if it isn't a new device from Uh-Oh (which I always thought it was, but again, not sure) -- It still should be up to some sort of a standard. Scratches and marks everywhere simply is wrong. I'd be quite pissed, my OCD would be having a fit, too.
Best of luck, my friend.

It sounds like maybe your phone was accidentally placed in the warranty/repair section because everyone I've heard of that has used UH-OH has gotten a brand new phone in the retail box.

I think they are having fulfilment issues, especially relating to the supply of backs that they have. Were your scratches on the metal body or the screen? I just got an uh oh replacement for my US Unlocked and the one they sent was in great shape, but had the back/body for the sprint version of the device. The software was us unlocked, but the body had the wrong model number (2PS6400). Anyway, I complained and the ticket was escalated but they were not willing to do anything. I finally spoke with an RMA supervisor and when I explained that I wasn't in a hurry for the new device, but I really wanted the correct device as the sprint body will decrease resale value, he said that they were having issues with inventory and that if i truly wasn't in a hurry, then I should send my replacement device back, continue to use my cracked device and open a new ticket in a week or two. So...we'll see how all that works out.
I think most of the time Uh Oh devices are refurbished, but I certainly wouldn't accept one that had a bunch of scratches on it. Good Luck.

WHOA! That's crazy! Every post I've seen about people using UH OH have gotten brand new devices?

This is not okay, they should not send these "refurbished" used devices to people.

Honestly, I don't know what the policy is regarding new/refurbished devices is. I used Uh Oh for both m8 and m9 prior to this and both times i received a mint condition replacement device. I always just assumed that they were refurbished, though. Even the device I just received with the Sprint body was mint condition.
I'm fine with either new or refurbished, but the device should definitely be mint and the same model as your original device.

I had to use uh oh a couple months ago, they sent me what appeared to be a new phone, but the camera was borked. It was a complete headache to get a replacement, but after over 3 weeks of talking, chatting, and blasting htc on Twitter they finally sent me a brand new one. You should definitely get it taken care of asap.

I used uh-oh protection a couple weeks ago, and I got back a brand new (at least as far as I could tell) phone, in a retail box, with all the accessories.

Well they shouldn't have sent you a scratched one but they're perfectly within their rights to send you a used one. It's important to read our warranties folks. Many times they aren't what we think.

Exert from page 2:
Notice where they say they reserve the right to repair or replace with a "functionally equivalent reconditioned" device and or parts. Also it mentions the device will be in working condition but says nothing of cosmetic condition, but again they should NOT have sent you a scratched one.

They are incompetent

just requested a HTC X and a A9 under the uh-oh plan. I paid a $599.00 deposit x2. It took 8 days to get the X and I am still waiting for the 9. The X they sent me has some real problems. The speakers di not sound the same, not a little bit different but completely different. The sound is not acceptable. The screen produces dingy whites whereas the original X produces nice clean whites. The fingerprint sensor feels like it is a button now... It is NOT an equivalent phone. I am not going to accept it. My X still works and I am not going to surrender it to them for this replacement. I sent my M9 in a year ago and they sent me a phone that was ghost-touching, so I returned it and then they sent me a Verizon phone... I use at&t but the phone still worked, it was just the case that was Verizon. However, now I have the wrong case. I was tired of dealing with them so I let it go. Well, the speaker broke so I called and asked how much to repair the speaker... I then told them about my phone having the wrong case etc... And asked if I could get the correct case while they are repairing the speaker and they said I would have to pay $100. I am not paying for that so I cancelled the while thing.
I am no longer going to by HTC, they are not the only phone with good audio these days. The lg v10 and v20 sound great the ZTE axion is only $400 and sounds amazing

I appreciate everyone's input.
I called in regarding the scratches on the replacement phone. They sent me to the higher division and proceeded to send me another replacement. This time the representative told me that these Uh-oh replacement phones are not new, but they should appear as good as new, that's why I was granted this 2nd ftime replacement. The new replacement came in a retail box with charger and everything. However the "carbon gray" is significantly lighter than the two HTC 10s I had before. The volume buttons are also looser. At this point I am pretty satisfied with the new replacement, even though it is a refurbished phone.
so my advice to those who are or plan to undergo the uh-oh replacement process, make sure you receive a like-new phone instead of a used, scratched-up one, because I believe they do have a batch of these refurbished, like-new ones for replacement.
