I read on the ZeroLemon thread that the code *#0228# will reset the fuel gauge on the phone for different extended batteries. Is this true for the Verizon Galaxy Note 4? This particular user said he lives in Brazil, I believe.

No. That code won't do anything on the VZW variant. Seems most dialer codes won't work with the VZW N4.

==== For the verizon phone
guys
is there a better extended battery than the 2100mah?
Also for folks that have the VERIZON 2100MAH battery, is the addition in thickness almost a non-issue? Is it like 1mm thicker?
Thanks
This one seems the best so far and has been confirmed to work well.

I ordered this one yesterday so just waiting on it now.
That's the ATT version (not verizon). Can someone tell me if the verizon 2100mah battery has NFC on it? I may root the phone to use NFC even though verizon has disabled it
Thanks
Thickness is a non issue, I actually prefer the feel of the extended. It added a considerable amount of battery life, and it certainly still has nfc. Love my extended from Verizon.

Looks wise the GSM and LTE phones with extended battery look the same (both add the same thickness) and both have NFC as they're official batteries

Works like a charm, im at 8 hours with 77% left with light usage besides the 1/2 hour of whale tail. I'm also on AOKP milestone 2 and Francros #13(i think, wutever the newest one is)
Does anyone know what the OEM battery model number is? And is it a safe assumption that the US AT&T version will have the same battery? Since I guess the only person that could open their phone and check would have the international version.
I want to get an extra battery and an external battery charger but the only ones I seem to be able to find are either 3rd party and/or seem too good to be true.
Hello-
I'm looking to purchase an S3 soon, and I have never owned a GSM phone before. What's the deal with these unlock codes? I understand what they are and how they're entered, but how exactly are they generated when you buy them from a guy on eBay for example? Where are they getting the codes from? Is there some sort of risk by buying a locked AT&T or T-Mobile phone and paying someone for an unlock code?
Thanks.

If you buy a GSM phone that is subsidized by a carrier, it will be mostl likely "locked" to that particular carrier. Unlock codes are generated based on your phone's unique IMEI number. Actually some carriers will give you an unlock code provided your account is in good standing. T-Mobile does that. I am with AT&T, and I have never had any issues getting unlock codes from them before my trips overseas. Your mileage however may vary. As far as getting an unlock codes from a third part company, not sure, I belive there is some risk with revealing your phone's IMEI number because of "phone cloning", but that's more up CDMA valley, not GSM. Hopefully you're not banned from Google. Do some research.
I honestly searched multiple forums but have not seen specific answers to the following two questions:
1. Is resale value of international version of Samsung Note 2 significantly higher/lower than carpet branded version (ATT in my case)?
2. What about warranty/tech support? I know where to go if anything happens to a phone branded by the carrier. Is there US version of international Note 2 (I do not think so)? If not - where do I go when "stuff goes wrong"?
I am aware of course threes is no LTE in international version, and other obvious differences (such as absence of carrier bloat). These are the only two items where I lack accurate and final answers.
Thank you!

Unlocked international are usually worth the most. Not always for some reason but you can't go wrong with the note2. Maybe after the note3 comes out, there could be an ~equal value on open market for those looking for an lte enabled note2.
Warranty is usually non existent in USA. Your reseller would have to be willing to take it back for you to send to country of origin warranty center. Some resellers will do this and then of course many more won't. You're really on your own answering that question as the variables are too many.

What do I look for in the About Phone section to see if my 2 XL is a Verizon model, I bought used off Swappa? My OEM unlocking in Developers is grayed out and trying to see which phone I have. Is it in the Build number? Understand the Verizon models can't be unlocked, but would like to try if it's a Google model. Thanks...
While not an absolute, if the box is missing French Canadian information near the barcodes on the box AND you have a fifth barcode with a SIM number, you have a Verizon device.
A better alternative is to simply run the device's IMEI through an IMEI check site. If you see some variation of "VZN" in the model number, you have a Verizon device.
Last, a quick alternative is to try unlocking the unit. Successful or not, you'll know.
Well I did contact the seller and he did say he originally bought from a Verizon store so appears I am SOL...
