Spare battery with cradle charger and NFC on ebay

hmm im not sure if this is legit or works for i9250 and truly does have the nfc antenna, but anyone willing to try or already has?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...s=63&clkid=4692892145517066973#ht_3417wt_1139

That's for the Verizon LTE i515.

true it's marked as such, but doesn't the verizon version have an 1850mah battery?

Yes, and the thing i noticed is that virtually every website that I've been on for Gnexus accessories don't clearly differentiate the GSM and the LTE version. I ordered that thing from thecellguru but it says it's for the LTE version but it has 1750mah battery... But I got it just because the battery seems right

Yea that's why I was asking, cuz it says +515 but it also said 1750.... Did anyone read the article that talked about the NFC needing to register a token, thus making swapping batteries complicated. It was on android central. They also said that the NFC chip is indeed on the battery... I still don't buy that, just can't see how that's possible

you should most definitely post on here some feedback about it please, also, see if you can somehow try testing the NFC by switching between the batteries and see if it works or not... thank you

But not sure about the nfc since I don't know what I could test it on...

The 1750 is a typo. I had ordered from Mobile City's web site directly a week ago and then called to confirm that it works with the GSM i9250 but was told that it is not compatible. The charger/battery kit they have is for the LTE i515.

It could be a typo, but i don't think it should be a typo on most of the reseller website :/
Anyways, I checked the part number and i'm almost positive that the one I got is 1750 mah, but we shall see

No goooo the battery is actually 1850mah, it's actually for the Galaxy S, but they just added a sticker that says it's compatible with Galaxy nexus i515 Returning this :/

I went to verizon today as the Phone date been pushed back again. But I saw the assesories. They had the battery and cradle for 40. And the extended batt and back cover for 50. Good news is the battery cover fits. The bad news is the battery normal or extended doesn't. Its the same battery that the tmobile galaxy s2 has. I know cause I have both the nexus and tmo g2. And it works for tje tmo g2

That's too bad. I had suspected that would be the case but was holding out hope that it would be the right one for the i9250. Oh well... back to waiting...

Looks like the battery for Verizon/LTE i515. From what I can tell that battery is blue while the i9250's is black.

This looks a bargain (if correct)

Congrats on your VZW Nexus device. What is your first initial impression on the phone? How does it feel in the hand? Screen? OS buttery smooth? Did you and ur bus account rep discuss a release date for the general public?

can you tell us if any of the GSM hacks don't work on the Verizon GN?

Love the phone! Honestly needs extended battery bad!
When I first got the phone had problems with my exchange email. Had to update cert on server side for it to work very odd.
I start the day off at 6 am I do use my phone a lot for work. Had to put this bad boy on the charger right after lunch 1pm. I had rezound with extend battery lasted all day!
OS is super fantastic ! Running 4.0.1. Just got Facebook update same Facebook look as iPhone (gf has iPhone)loved rezound syncing pics with Facebook.nexus does no have this feature as of yet. I'm using an app to sync them for now.
tried face unlock today! It sucked camera on front has no light so its very hard to read your face at least it was for me. Have to be in a well lit room for it to work.
Got it yesterday morning so only two days using it. To bad 4g LTE is no workie workie .

Well when I first got it I did the GSM unlock boot loader worked perfect! Oh make sure you download the right USB drivers took me a little to find the one that worked.
Next did the root worked perfect!
Next tried the GSM hack / mod for percentage battery showing increments on 1% that's when everything with south. Notification bar disappeared and a lot of fc! Good thing I did a backup!

Congrats on getting your hands on a CMDA Nexus.
Did you have any trouble buying it or getting it activated before Verizon has officially announced it? Seems like they are trying to keep this phone locked down pretty tight.

My guess is that the poor battery is due to the 4G outage. My TB battery life is usually pretty decent, but since 4G went down it's been dropping like a rock.
Can you tell us if the sim card is indeed a Micro-SIM?

Do you have 16gb or 32gb?

Please provide a picture of the storage capacity on the device so we can confirm that it is not a GSM Galaxy Nexus with a Verizon battery cover.

Verizon Sent me GS3 by Accident

Hey guys...my phone broke and somehow Verizon sent me a PB Galaxy S3 somehow for my replacement device....they didn't tell me they were sending it and my phone still shows on my account as the Galaxy Nexus. Does anyone know if I can keep this phone or will I get some kind of call from VZ about this? If I can keep it, what's the best and cheapest way to get a battery and back cover for it? Thanks!

I believe since the Galaxy Nexus has reached its end of life, Verizon is now replacing the Nexus with GS3's. It's odd they didnt include the back and battery, however. I would call them and they should provide this for free.

Call them. They have mistakenly sent me replacement phones twice without the covers and batteries. They are free.

Gave VZ a call and got it taken care of. Thanks guys! That also means my new home is the GS3 forum. Farewall !

What did you do to get the replacement. My phone is on its last limbs. I have a third party warranty..

I didn't do anything. My phone died somehow after being on the charger. I didn't ask for an alternate (which I have done in the past but not in this case) and boom 2 days later...GS3 shows up much to my surprise.

By the way. Does anyone know what I can do with the spare batteries? I got like a whole stack of unused ones that somehow were sent to me....like 2 normal ones...2 extended one..and 2 back covers....

I have an International GSM GN and have used this Sprint battery in my phone without using the new back door. I am not sure about the Verizon version.
For those who are asking if this a US specific deal. The answer is yes, this is only for US. I am not a Sprint customer but I was still able to order online from them.

Thanks for the link. mine comes on Thursday. But I have a bunch of cases will any of then work or an I f*****?

Just ordered this, thought I couldn't before but you can in fact just make an account without being a Sprint customer.
Got the battery for $6.50 which was just the shipping price.
In Google Chrome for the Windows, the buy now key link was dead, so I had to do it in Internet Explorer.
I even got an annoying chat window from a sprint representative asking if I needed help ordering or if I wanted to start a Sprint contract. I'll post again once I receive the battery.

Anyone know if this will fit the gsm variants of the nexus?
