[Q] Question about Battery Cover bought from Ebay - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello XDA, I have a question about a battery cover I bought from Ebay, It said its an original geniune T-Mobile S4 battery cover, and it looks exactly like the stock one in almost every way. The only difference is on the inside of it. On the stock one theres an area that is thinner that the rest, and I think it might be for wireless charging, but Im not sure. Ive attached a picture here of both so you can see what I mean. Thanks

I think NFC is built into the battery.

If you look at the phone itself you will see that the thinner part you mention directly matches the metal housing that holds the sd card and the sim card.
Why that area needs to be a tiny sliver thinner I have no idea.

Battery cover with 'Galaxy Note'

Here's a nice back cover with the branding "Galaxy Note" at the back instead of the traditional "Samsung".

They look nice
Cant find any in white tho
they all say for the i717 do they work on the n700 international note?
any UK links?
don't know if it will fit the international Note, the 1st link cover seems to not have the chip fit at the back - anyone care to try?
no it wont fit. you have to modify the cover "locks" so that you can fit it to the n7000.

I was looking for a battery cover to replace mine and ditch the carrier branding. I love the look of the Int. cover, how it was designed.
Anyway there are a lot of sellers for these things and they range in price from high to low. Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was looking for one. This guy shipped INCREDIBLY fast. Like 4-5 days fast, I wasn't expecting it for at least 2 weeks.
How do you know that the battery cover is OEM?
EDIT: Also, what was the ship time?

Higher capacity, original size battery?

Hey guys, title says it all, anyone know of what I just posted about? Battery life on this thing is a flat out joke, and I am rooted with bloat and whatnot removed.

I have the black translucent D3O case and its beautiful, I'd rather not do away with it, but if it means be able to use my damn phone, ill do it lol.
I did see a decent looking case designed for phones with the extended battery. *Sigh*

what is your screen on time?
tap on "screen" in that battery screen
There is something wrong there, either a rogue app or hardware related. I regularly get 4+ hours of screen time.
plenty of alternatives. grabbing a 2nd OEM batt would be easiest.
if your not into that i did a review on a Extended battery here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787678&highlight=max+power
but FYI i was getting like double the battery life you are on the OEM batt.

aha
Thanks for the obvious answer mister obvious. I want to order the back cover itself since the form factor aside from the SIM slot should fit a sprint model, thus me being able to replace the back cover I have now.
Was just wondering if anyone may know where to get the "spare part" of the white back cover.

Desktop Dock (I found one that works)

Granted, it took a bit of Dremel work to get the OPO to fit in the cradle, but not a lot. After shaving some off the sides and doing a little cutting at the point where the bottom of the phone sits in the cradle, it works like a charm. And since it's a universal dock, you can orient the connector any which way. And, as a bonus, it has a Bluetooth handset.
I found this at Target. It's a Sharper Image product and was on sale for $9 (down from $30).
