I'm in the market to buy accessories for my i747.. I'm looking on ebay and see a dock / charger / battery combo at a decent price but it says it's for european and asian phones (i9300). would this fit my phone? to me everything should be the same..
Thanks
accessory wise the two variants are exactly the same dimensions and stuff, so anything made for the i9300 will fit the i747, including batteries. the phones are exactly the same on the outside, just the insides are diff. :good:
Yep. Chargers, batteries, docks and cases all fit the i747 that are made for i9300. They are the same form factor

Thanks guys!!!
Hello,
I unserstand both phones have the same external dimensions,but would it be the same for the battery cover ?
If I swap the pebble blue battery cover from a i9300 to a i747 would it fit ?
Thanks.
I would imagine yes as above he did say dimensions of phone is the same the only difference is the cpu and ram I believe.

Yes, I've been debating getting an international battery cover so it doesn't say at&t on this beautiful bad boy.

I have an att s3 and ordered an intl cover a few days ago.I should get it in next week,will keep this thread updated !
In any case I am a reseller and am about to make a huge order of genuine s3 covers for north american sale,so I just wanted to make sure that would work.
Thanks for the help !
The international version has a microphone on the back cover by the camera. So cases and skins for the international version will fit but you'll have a useless hole by the camera. Not really a big deal if you ask me.

I could be wrong but the skin I'm using on my at&t gs3 was made for the international version and it has a microphone hole on the back cover. I don't actually own the international version but I'll post a pic of my skin later

The att version also has a microphone hole next to the camera,unless you meant something else ?
Yep a tiny mic pinhole is the only physical difference between some of the two base versions or models.
CPU (quad vs. dual core), ram (1Gb vs. 2Gb) and radios (3g/4g vs. LTE) are the internal hardware differences between the international and north American models

I have an international version, there is no mic by the cam. I've had both variants they LOOK exactly the SAME. ALL the cases will fit.

ok heres my skin. there is a hole on the back cover (above the led flash), but there is no hole on my battery cover for a mic or something. there is a mic on the top border of my phone next to the headphone jack, which has its own hole
again it was made for the international version

Yep that was the only difference I saw on some back covers not even sure why that little extra hole by the flash even there. But all cases and covers work for both.
Hmm interesting ! Very good info.
I have a question
Hi,
My question is, are the lcd and digatizer screens the same size on both i9300 and i747 ?
I need to replace 1 and want to make sure:
question
I am wanting to get a cord for my GS3 i747 that hooks the phone to hdmi port on television. I saw several options on ebay but some of them say that they are "ONLY" compatible with i900 and i908. Is that the case? Should the cable work with i747 if it works with unlocked phones?
Will a i9300 ROM work on a i747?

Does anyone know if this case will fit our phones?

I know its for the international sgs2 but our phone has similar dimensions and shape. The only difference is the thickness which is . 05 inches thicker on our phone.
Sorry Broseidon, the camera is too different.

So the camera hole mod is all that would be needed? I can cut a hole.
Be easier to mod a credit card holder onto a current E4GT case

Our phone is larger? I looked up the dimensions for the international sgs2 and the only difference is .05 inches thicker which isn't much.
If the only difference is the camera then I'll cut the whole.
Does anyone have both the epic touch and international version?
Ah scratch that. Our screen is larger. Apparently I looked at the wrong phone.
Just wanted to share this dock i found on ebay. Looks way better than the samsung one as it has a simpler design. Looks like an iphone dock.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...ccessories&hash=item19cbf0b955#ht_10221wt_905
If you look at the picture closely you can see that's an international galaxy s2 in the dock our phones have different dimensions than that of the other versions of the galaxy so that dock may not fit your phone at all. A good trick for looking for the proper accessories for our phones, since there are so many versions of it, is including "t989" in any search on eBay or Amazon you do.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Well the dock is made to fit our phones, so of course it will fit the international version as well. I saw a couple of reviews on youtube and the s2 was able to mount with a case. Thats good enough space to fit the extra thickness of our phones. I ordered 2, I will give feedback once I receive them.

Please do. I'm intersted & would like one at the house
I have had this dock (actually 3 of them now) for a few months. Used it with my AT&T Samsung Infuse then with my AT&T GS2 and now with my T-Mo T989.
Fits and works perfectly with the T989 even with the Diztronics case on it. Well worth the price.

You shot the OP down without even reading the ebay description. T989 is one of the compatible devices.

Correct, and it will work with just about any brand "bar type" phone with the jack centered on the bottom. You either use or don't use the rubber insert that comes with it to adjust to size or with or without case. For $12 it's a great buy. If you want it faster there are some US sellers selling it for around $20.
This looks great !! Quick question though. Do you have an hdmi adapter for yours ? I'm looking to basically be able to charge/hdmi out by dropping it in a cradle lol
1 more question. Does the phone feel sturdy enough in it? I'd like to get 1 to modify into a car mount too
Thanks !

There are many cases I've been wanting to buy, but all of them only specify the international version. Physically comparing it to the AT&T version I see that they're exactly the same, but I'm still asking just to be 100% sure and I've only compared through pictures...
For example, would theses cases fit my Note?

Having held both side by side at the same time, I can tell you that they are outwardly identical in all respect except for the logo art on the back of the battery cover.

I second this since I bought a N7100 case from ebay & it works on my Note 2.
I would like to change the housing on my i747M S3, not that there is anything wrong with it, except a few scratches, I just like the garnet red better and I have another 2 years left on my contract.
A couple of questions about the housings sold on eBay...
1) Are the housings for the i747 and the i9300 the same, or do I need a specific housing for the i747? There are more choices for the i9300, so I was just curious.
2) What is the glass surface like on these non-Samsung (I believe) screens? Is there an oleophobic coating like on the original screens?
3) I know people have changed their screens successfully, but how much of a chance is there of me screwing up the digitizer? I am good with my hands and mechanically inclined, so my abilities are not an issue.
Thanks for the info,
Ian

1. No. Not the same. The interiors are different to accommodate different boards.
2. The non Samsung ones that I've seen are just regular, not even Gorilla, glass.
3. If I were a betting person, I'd say odds are about 25% that you'd either overheat, scratch, or crack it.
Others will jump in, I'm sure... :thumbup:
Housing are the same in All S3. Now if you wanted to change the moderboard is another story. The moderboard of the internarional s3 is different than the s3 here in the US due to the quad cored chip and dual cored

I'm looking for a replacement battery door (stock battery) that is unobtrusive, doesn't reduce signal or GPS, and is a bit less slippery than the stock one.
I found one with pleather texture in black on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Leather-Housing-Battery-Door-Back-Cover-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-II-N7100-/190901629604?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2c729fb2a4]
The ad states Fit Note 2 / N7100 global version only
I'd thought the outer parts of the N7100 and I317 were identical (so this might work), but maybe I got that wrong(?)
So, any idea if this'll fit and / or got a different replacement door that'll work. Really just looking for textured plastic like my ancient Galaxy SII.
Thanks!
I'd check further to see if it has NFC connects and if they line up - if that matters to you.

Ah! there's an NFC antenna in the battery door (and I'm an idiot for not having noticed). Sam did something similar but the GPS antenna with the S4G and the GPS on that phone was a constant letdown.
It also makes sense that this would differ between the various Note2 versions as they vary in radios, so different antennas.
Yes, if you wouldn't mind checking - I use NFC tags for some Tasker actions. I'm guessing the contacts won't line up, hence the eBay seller's comment.
Thanks!

Well... when I said "I'd", I meant "You'd" ...
But I will offer this - here's a similar listing for the stock back cover for the i317 (compare this to the picture in the seller's listing):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Battery...17-Grey-with-NFC-/130859205705#ht_2692wt_1273
Note that it has two metal contacts lacking from the international version. I don't know if that matters but given that they are integrated with the antenna, and the phone has corresponding contacts, I would expect so.
Maybe a slim case with a similar surface material would be another option?
Or you can mod your back cover.
Sand the back a bit and spray rhino liner on it ( it's grip)
Or use a fabric

Yeah, sorry - got the impression you had both models somewhere about and just had to pop the backs off and look.

Looks like I'm on to finding a, OEM cover and modding that, which shouldn't be super hard...

Now my plan to mod the back a tad. I was going to use plastidip http://www.eastwood.com/plasti-dip-aerosol-11-oz-black.html.
I hadn't thought of rhino liner as I thought that was bulk application.
[edit]
Actually, I think I'll just sand it down with semi-coarse grit, say 300, and see if that's non-slip enough as-is.

Here's a cheap, stock case option... thin bumper case from Samsung.. You could scuff that up and save your phone....
