battery cover help !

hi i live in uk and have got Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-SGH-T989 on t mobile i bought it as it was cheap but it had no battery cover.
ive looked all over the net to get a replacement that is availiable in the uk or can be shipped to uk.
i have had no luck is there any 1 that can point me in the right direction to order one that is availiable in the uk or some 1 that ships to the uk.
thanks very much any help be appreciated.

did u try ebay? I checked and they have a ton. At least a few sellers should ship it uk

I've bought both my Sgs2 and my GNote battery cover from this seller and they were both oem Samsung. It came pretty fast too.

Anyone know where to buy in the UK

I've found the black LG g pad at places like asda direct and Amazon priced at £259 can only find the white version on Amazon for £299 and its from a dodgy looking marketplace seller. Any other UK owners out there and where did you buy?

I bought from ASDA because I wanted the black, but the white is available from Tesco Direct at £259. It's also available from Clove (£259) and Expansys (£249), but haven't used either of those sites myself so can't vouch for their reliability.

I bought mine last night from ADSA Direct, it's listed at £249 but if you use the voucher code 'taboffer' you'll get £20 off.
£229 is the best price I've been able to find (from a reputable source) in the UK.

Thankyou, i did look on tesco direct in early November and they weren't on there then. I will check it out!

Thanks but asda only seem to stock the black version, I really want the white one. Also been reading about the Google play edition... Might wait for it to hit the play store here, I think it would go nicely with my LG Nexus 5.

I picked up my white version from tesco in the uk. £20 off with voucher which is still valid plus the tesco points on the account. Ordered late one thursday night and picked up from store saturday evening.
Great service from tesco, regular emails and texts confirming progress.
Might have to wait a little for GPE in uk. No word yet.

handtec are selling the white one for £240

None of the GPE phones have come to the UK Play Store, so I wouldn't hold out for this one.

I picked up a white version from Tesco with the same £20 off. Missus has wrapped it now, but not before giving it a good 'test' .

I really hope Google sort it out and get the GPE phones and tablets out in Europe. My nexus 5 is great, I've always been a fan of stock android. Although LGs skinned version doesn't seem to bad on the G pad, I like the idea of tap tap too. May well get a V500...

Ive seen the Co-op with them and also Asda, as well as all the ones mentioned previously. I to am still praying that Google will release the GPE one in Europe, i would buy it in a flash.

Quite like the Asda deal, but can anyone tell me what the stock Android version is, and has there been any rumours about updates to 4.4?

4.2.2

I bought mine online as there is much more competition, bought for £221.95 from Simply Electronics. Cannot fault their service as the device came in 2 days, amazingly quick and a great device to match. Do not worry about buying products online, as they are exactly the same as in store, but cheaper. Yes you are waiting a few days, but wouldn't you rather save money? I know I would!

help with buying

hey guys ive been looking for a new phone and this one seems to tick all the boxes but while looking for info on it ive found that there are a few different versions like f240 and l-04e and e980 and e986 and a few more lol, but im the sunny uk so im not sure if it will make a difference which one i buy? also does anyone have any suggestion where the best place to buy one of these phones from?

I did a lot of research before buying my OGP, as well. Swell device and I am more than satisfied with it. We have a small development community, but just enough to give you a taste of just about everything.
Go for one of the E98X ones. The F variants seem to have an even smaller development community here on XDA. You'd have to rely on Chinese and Vietnamese sites which are dominantly stock-based ROMs.
Not sure where you'd get one as I got mine through AT&T.

Thanks for the advice mate does make much difference which one of the E98X ones I get?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I don't really think so. Most ROMs say E980 (AT&T variant) but works on all E98X models (I think).

has anyone got any ideas where the best place to buy one of these phones is? ive seen a place called simply electronics but im too sure if its a decent place or not

I just bought a near mint e980 on ebay for $270 USD. Even with shipping I doubt you can do better. Seller is wirelesshut2010.

You could also wait until the swappa.com UK site has one available.

I'm also in the UK and I brought mine of ebay but now it is broken and the seller doesn't care. I would be very careful as the phone will obviously be an import so the warranty will not work in the UK. LG UK will not fix your phone, even if you pay for it. Many online shops, such as simply electronics, may take a long time to ship to you as they may have to get the device delivered from hong kong etc. Also, most of these online shops have none existent customer services and they won't reply if you have a problem. From looking at google shopping, there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the UK who will help you if your phone breaks. However, if you do buy from shops such as simply electronics and value basket, you should eventually receive the product.
Why don't you get the LG G2? It is only £320 on Amazon UK.

All this said, I think swappa.com may be the best place to buy a US model in the UK (if one ever comes up). Swappa is an XDA offshoot and they have a very good system for matching buyers with sellers at fair prices. I just sold a phone there for a little less than I paid for it to someone who didn't seem to know much about what he was buying but it all worked out fine. They do not charge sellers. Buyers pay a flat $10USD. Another advantage is the built in protections of PayPal. I would not hesitate to buy from Swappa, although their prices tend to be somewhat higher than ebay's due to the buyer fee and shipping included in the asking price.
A few (not most) US sellers will ship internationally.
Here's one: LG Optimus G Pro (Unlocked) For Sale - JCP297 - $400 > Swappa - http://is.gd/tLP8aL
F240s,said to be mint. With international shipping will probably cost more. Keep in mind that a locked AT&T e980 is now $370 direct from the carrier. Of course given UK prices this might still be less expensive than ordering locally.

The problem with paying with paypal is that in the uk, if the worst happens, you can get your credit card company (not debit card) to give you the money back, but you are paying paypal, not the seller directly, so you can have problems with getting your money back, especially if the seller is an individual, not a business.

LG G3 available for 400 USD or less?

Hi,
I am from India. I and one of my friends are planning to buy LG G3 / G2 this month. I was searching on the internet to buy online, and I came across a few posts in XDA stating that we can buy unlocked versions from e-stores with big savings? So my friend started searching on the internet and he found a few web sites which were about 200 USD lesser than those in the local market. Could someone confirm if this is true? Are they really available for such huge discounts? How do I make sure that they are not fake Chinese models?
I saw a few sellers on Ebay, Amazon and OLX. Some are selling for $454 and some for just $360 USD. That is just 18000 in India???
If anyone of you have purchased unlocked versions for such cheap prices and if you found them to be genuine mobiles, can you please let me know?
By the way OLX does NOT have any purchase guarantee. Can I get a refund if I find the phone to be fake from ebay seller?

Thanks

Where to Buy 802L

I have been searching, and cannot find anywhere to buy this specific model.
I want the 802L specifically, since it has the LTE bands that T-Mobile uses.
Does anyone know where I can buy one online?
Thanks!

There's one for sale on Amazon right now. I bought mine from the ebay user: factory-unlocked Maybe you could contact them about getting one? When I bought mine (July) they were selling them from both China and the USA. Now they don't list them for sale but maybe they could get you one.

Thanks - unfortunately the one on Amazon right now is listed under the 802L, but is actually an 803L if you go to the seller's listing.
I had contacted a number of eBay sellers, and could not find any that could supply the 802L model.
I just thought I would update this in case anyone else came along.
I ended up using buyee.jp to order one directly from Amazon Japan.
I will update this when it arrives.

So, I received the tablet and have been using it for a little while on T-Mobile.
It took about a week for the Buyee process to work. The total added price, over the Amazon.co.jp price, was about $35.
Everything is working well, great tablet, love the build quality.
Didn't like the launcher, so I switched it with Nova straight off.
Hoping Marshmallow comes soon.
The tablet DOES work as a phone on the T-Mobile network, and gets LTE.
I have personally seen up to 40Mb/s down on it.
As a phone... The speaker is near your ear, but it faces outward. Don't try to make any private calls in public places with it, as bystanders can hear your conversations.
Hope this helps someone else like me.
