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.

*cough* where have you been, bro.? But thanks for sending out reminders for those who haven't gotten one yet.
Just ordered 2100mah Battery @ 1/2 price
on the VZW website, if you search 2100 mah, the battery comes up as half price. You can't order online, there is a a Call button that gives you the number to sales. After making the case that the $24.99 should be honored, the rep ordered a battery for me.
How much better is the battery life with this 2100mah?
How much better does the extended battery help battery life and does it also work with the GSM version

Very little extra, but some. What you would expect out of 15% extra. Also, the verizon battery won't work in the gsm phone.

Calibrating tonight
I received my extended battery last night and will calibrate it tonight. My best charge on the OEM battery was just over 23 hours. I'll report back results on the extended next week.
These are the ones that I've found until now.

If you could find better offer for this battery or if you can tell me where you bought your extended battery it would be great
the first one is the gsm and the ones on amazon are the LTE version, you can tell they are different by looking at the pic of the battery. another place you can get the gsm extended battery is Gmarket it came to about 40 with shipping, i order mind from gmarket and it came in about 5 days.
eBay one is GSM.... I have that battery myself (as well as many others... it works)
go to korea direct to buy it will be cheapest, hong kong is the next, but they are out of the question, the cheapest on ebay is USD 39.97.

Lol, fly to Korea for a battery...
Yeah, at least they are genuine batteries (have to be for NFC). I like this, actually. It takes the hassle out of grappling with fakes that suck big time. $39 for a real made in Korea battery with NFC is actually a good price. I recall when replacement batteries for phones were at least $60.

Daily Steals/Ice Monkey must have bought a bit stock of these things, they have them on sale every week.
Holy that is quite the deal they are offering. If I didnt have my nexus right now I would consider these deals they are offering.
THis is brand new? And is the site reputable? EDIT: Condition is new!
Anyone ever order from them?
Backstory: I had my NExus S stolen (pick pocketed on a crowded train. Didn't feel a thing. Was a very sad day) and I'm thinking of getting GN unlocked.
This may be the way...
Got my white SGN from ice monkey.
The seal was broken but nothing was missing. It comes with European round plugs and Polish instructions.
I just use one of my many ac to usb bricks to charge the phone. .
The are legit.

well the title of the item says: "UNLOCKED Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB (Black)" So I'm assuming there's no color choice. They're just re-using the stock photo from previous sales that had white/black options available.
Okay thanks. Gonna pull the trigger!

You won't be disappointed. I got mine delivered to me in a day. I live in philly and they ship from Brooklyn so that's why. But one day is insane. Also, my seal wasn't broken. European charger, but customer service was nice enough to mail me a US adapter for free.

Apparently the extended battery is available from Verizon wireless for $24.99. (Great price)
This has been the case for a few months now but I'm unsure whether the deal is still on as I'm British and can't check on the website.
Yep get the 2100 mah battery at the Verizon store.

Love how no one mentioned that the extended battery from VERIZON only works for the CDMA model and not the GSM model.
The cheapest GSM 2000 mah extended battery is on ebay from shimshop ~$30ish.
CDMA/LTE = Verizon
Not Verizon? it's GSM.
I got the trexcell 3800 extended battery from Amazon for 20 bucks..should be a lot more juice than the Verizon 2100 extended battery AND it's cheaper!

No back cover usually means a stolen phone.
Check and make sure its not blacklisted before buying.
Even then, buy with caution.
this is a warranty 'replacement' for my Droid Charge. I've had lots of probs with my droid charge so they are replacing it with a nexus under my warranty... cost me $150 however..

The store clerk messed up then. When a warranty replacement is ordered, they have two options. Order a replacement for the same phone or order a replacement for a different phone. The second option comes with the battery and door. When I had my fascinate replaced by an incredible 2 I got everything.

Not Necessarily. I had a warranty replacement for my Droid RAZR to a Nexus, and I had to get the battery door, and battery, though Verizon gave me a $20 credit, so it only cost me $26.

Oh and if you haven't unlocked it yet, you should get it unlocked. Ask for the unlock code from ATT. Unlocked phone have a higher value.

Is the screen scratch free? I find this is the most important thing in a used phone.
Take a lot of pictures and put the extra battery in the sale. Get it unlocked ($25, I think) and put it on eBay.
I just looked and didn't see a used S3 going for less than $360 and the auctions weren't over.

Sold my Slll by itself within a couple hours for$420 minus $30 or something to Amazon commission. Only thing about doing that is the wait to get your money from Amazon which is about two weeks or so.
I've had great luck selling devices on XDA's marketplace. Best part about it is there are no fees!
I'd try here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476
Alright, Thank you everyone for the quick replies. I took one of your advices and I'm posting it on Swappa and trying my luck.
Screen has 2 hair line scratches each are an inch long or less. and they are legit hairline. so dont disturb the output, and you can only see them at a certain angle when the screen is off and cleaned. I've had moshi and militray shield screen protectors on it up untill last month. (took it off after halloween night.
PS: I listed for $450. with 2x hyper ion batteries, 1x extended battery, extended battery cover, and Unused and untested brand new samsung headphones that came with it. (i own bose, so i never opened those oem ones).
