Original Battery - normal size - Where to buy...

Did anyone managed to buy an original genuine Samsung battery from eBay? I have already received two original fake ones, one is already dead! I found two vendors in eBay whose photos of the battery look real. Links below.
Did anyone buy from them and received? real deal? Any other vendor from whom I can buy one? Before anyone posts, I'm not interested in the new extended battery. Appreciate a lot any input.

Forget eBay when it comes to batterys or SD cards, you want the original do a search on Google.

you can probably get it cheaper if you search.

Thanks, but the link you provided is exactly (or it looks like) what I do not want: a replacement battery. I want an original one from Samsung.
I go eBay, because it is very difficult to get electronics or parts shipped from Europe or the US to Brazil with a reasonable price, or get it shipped at all. Many don't do it.
Anyway, if anyone else can help... Thanks
PS: actually that battery was for the Galaxy S, not the S II, if I'm not mistaken.

mate that is an original battery 100% genuine, eBay is well dodgy when it comes to phone batterys and SD cards and the likes and is to be avoided at all costs this website is 100% spot on.

Yeah, sorry. But it looked so different from the one on my S II. Then I saw the link was for the "S".
I could not find (I've searched before I posted) a "S II" battery on legitimate vendors that I know: Clove, Xpansys... And there is none in the website you suggested.

look again mate this battery is for the Galaxy S2..

Thanks. The website is a bit wierd (it say it is for the S 2, then it say "s" right below; the image is so different from my phone battery...) . I emailed them about it and shippng. I do appreciate your input.
However, and taking into account your advice about eBay, I would appreciate any other input on the above links.
Thanks.

the eBay stores from Korea are usually legit, shimshop is good!

I bought this one recently and haven't had any problems.

This one looks real. Is it as good as the original one?

i saw a thread about offical battery. you may like that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239719

Thanks, guys.
The UK company suggested above, shipping costs EUR 23... So I'll take another shot at eBay. I prefer not risking with the HK shops. Will go for the Koreans.
I've bought from Shimshop as well, but the picture on the other Korean site I linked is more clarifying, so I'm still on the fence.
Through my experience of buying two fake batteries, it seems that the top view, where the connectors are, is the most important part to detect counterfeited goods (it was the same with HTC HD2 Batteries I bought). From both Korean sites their batteries seem like the Battery which came in my phone, with the recessed area on top (with no label), but on one site you can see as well a little recessed area (like a very small screw) inside the recessed areas on the sides of the battery. Or maybe it is just a better fake...
Let's see. Thanks again for the help.

I believe it's genuine. I don't even know which one came with the phone anymore. They both perform identically. When I run out of juice I just swap out the battery and stick the dead one in a battery charger. They both last me about a day and night with moderate usage. An hour or so of video at lunch, a few hours of music, 20 or so minutes of gaming and mostly texting throughout the day.

Samsung genuine batteries for i9100
Hello. I have some original and also extended batteries to sale, if someone is interest in. Drop me a PM.

Recommended 2nd battery Galaxy Nexus

Hello Everyone,
I saw this recently on Samsung Website for a 2nd battery/charging station. It would be really helpful for the Galaxy Nexus. This model only seems to work with the CDMA version, and i have the GSM version. Any help on where to get this would be much appreciated!
Thanks

check out ebay or gmarket.co.kr for the desktop stand and 1750mha battery or you can go for the extended battery at 2000mha, also will work with the stand.

I was looking for an OEM version, similar to the one linkl i posted. its super suprising how they havent made one yet.

they are oem, it's only officially from korea, not official rest of the world.

I recommend you to get the extended battery, many people including me are pleased with it, and the feel is better.

this is a third party brand, i've seen the quality of it, it's very good, but only works with the standard battery, not extended.

Does the extended battery you suggested require a different back cover?

Will the GSIII battery fit our phone?

Title says it all. I did an advanced search through XDA and also did one in the GSIII talk thread and couldn't find a definite answer. I'm looking for a bigger battery without increasing the size of my E4GT. I found one on eBay but is there any others that are cheaper?

what a noob question.

It was really nice of you to answer his question. I don't understand how this question makes him a noob at all? He's simply curious. To the op; I'm not 100% sure but I do not think it will fit. You could do a search for extended batteries specifically the slim ones. And you could always buy another stock battery plus charger and carry that around with you and just switch them out.

i dont think it will. it looks like the dimensions are different.

Thank you for the responses.Yeah, I was looking through some of the slim extended battery threads and they were saying that they weren't getting that much better battery life (andida). It would just be nice to get a bigger OEM battery.

Is Galaxy Note GT-N7000 same form factor as Galaxy Note i717?

Specifically with regards to fitting into cases - will one fit perfectly into a case made for the other and vice versa. I think I may have found the answer when I searched the forum but I want to hear it from someone who knows definitively. The threads I found were regarding battery and back covers.
Thanks! I found a decent deal on Seido Active but it's for i717.

Yes they share the same form factor, I ordered a cover which was designed for i717 and fits perfectly fine N7000.:good:

they are not exactly the same form factor... bear in mind the AT&T version has some bloatwares you need to contend with.. RAM size and chipset wise.. it's not the same as well... yeah.. i guess externally they're all the same.. internally... hmm... I got the international one over the at&t one, don't ask me.. but I could've never been happier getting the international one. Performance wise... It's wayyy too better.

Op is asking info in the external form factor!! Not the software or chipset!! OTOH what a screen guard or a cover got to do with the chipset or the software?????

My bad dude.. and don't get too ballistic on me (for my post). I was merely also pointing out the disadvantages on one versus the other. Form factors are the same.. but realistically, the phone and it's accessories are not. Minute things that is.
Yeah I made a mistake and I do apologize for that. But again let me stress out.. Not all accessories do fit in with the i717 and with the N7000 international one. There are still accessories that are specifically designed for the N7000 which you can't find one in the i717 version, e.g. accessories that maximizes the NFC on the i717 which you can't find on the international version.

Battery door clips are located a little differently which makes the battery doors non interchangable. Cases in general are fine to interchange.

[Q] Replacement Housing

I was thinking of getting a replacement housing for my HOX as mine is looking a little bruised and battered, but had a couple of questions:
1. Are they a genuine HTC part?
2. I have just had my phone fixed by HTC due to WiFi problem and wondered if the new housing will give me the same problem.
3. Are they are good??
Thanks for your help

couple of threads are going around asking the same question..have you had a search in the accessories section mate?
nah i do not think that a new housing should give you any issue regarding the wifi.
should be good yes...if it was easy to do i would love to change the housing on my phone but to much hassle...check ebay for housing cases but be sure to read feedback first before going ahead and purchasing it...
but first have a look over at the accessories section here on the One X forums

Thanks will have a look :good:

Yes they are genuine parts, and I already did a big post with photos showing how I changed my grey/black model to a white model.
It's easy enough it takes both a little force, and a little delicacy but its fairly simple.
