Hi, I bought a Galaxy Note 2 from S. Korea in my visit but now I am back in my country and having problems with my battery. So naturally, I thought how can I replace my battery. However, when I take a quick look on the google I realized international version of battery and Korean version of battery have different code names as;
Int : EB595675LA
Kor : EB595675LK
and I am wondering is there anyone tried the international battery on Korean SHV-E250* phones? Is it compatible ? Otherwise, I would have to pay 4 times to order from S. Korea.
Thanks
They look the same and same volts so most likely they are 100% the same just different model numbers.
are also the Amp's the same?
Hello everybody
My LG G3 D855 phone faced a problem with blue screen and restarts frequently. The phone repair man told me it cannot be fixed as the problem is in the CPU, and the only solution is to change motherboard.
I searched many websites and found original motherboards that can be shipped to my country from China.
my question is: it safe to buy replacement motherboard from websites like Alibaba (Aliexpress) , ebay..etc?
Thanks
Hello,
I got same issue and I also want to to buy from Ali Express, what was your experience in this case?
Thanks
Samsung rep. mentioned : "China is not affected by the sales suspension." The company said it used a battery made by another supplier for the Note 7s sold in China.
I bought this model "SM-N930FD" from Hong Kong, I'm not sure if this is imported from another country as it's not officially sold in HK yet.
Can anyone confirm if this model is safe or not? Also would be great to know the Chinese models.
Mine is SM-N930FD bought from Dubai

Mine was bought in the US but made in China. Wonder if it will be part of the recall or not.
Canadian purchase (SD model) made in China.
why? Let Samsung complete their investigations.
I think "made in China" doesn't mean it's a Chinese model. Also FD model supports dual sim, not sure about the other models.
According to Samsung (through Yonhap: famous Korean source), they were relying on 2 battery suppliers. 1 supplier was the reason of this mess, Samsung didn't mention the name of the supplier but they said the battery is manufactured using a material that cause excessive heat when being charged. Chinese models were manufactured using the other supplier were no issues has been reported by users or Samsung. Also the company said sales wouldn't be interrupted in China.
The purpose of knowing the fine models is to avoid scams by sellers, I'm pretty sure there will be large drop on the prices of the faulty models.
SM-N930F
Made in Vietnam
Mine is N930FD , made in vietnam. Bought it from Oman and csc is XSG (United Arab Emirates)
SM-N930W8
Bell, Canada
Made in China
No idea if it will be recalled.
Mine is the FD model, Singapore variant. It gets warm but not hot. Requesting exchange from the seller on ebay

FD model Singapore variant as well. Requesting exchange from eBay seller as well. We will see. Not that concerned about it. Hopefully they release a list of serial numbers affected.

I have a UK N930F made in Vietnam, it's actually stone cold in comparison to my S6 it replaced.
I'm not worried about it, but if I can get a new replacement that is guaranteed not to have the problem I will take it just for peace of mind.
How do you know what country your phone was made in? Havent had any issues with my yet regarding heat and I have charged with the cord/block that came with the phone, a verizon car charger and the samsung fast charge wireless pad

the manufacturing country is in the small text on back glass of the device.

So manufactured in South Korea is probably a bad sign then?

possibly and possibly not, the only person who knows for sure is Samsung.

I know, from what I heard even Samsung doesn't know, which is why they are recalling them all.

it's probably easier at this point and gives more user confidence rather than picking and choosing out of the millions in the wild.
Would be great if the ones made in China are exempt

When i go to /sys/class/power_supply/battery and open the file batt_type with a text editor, in my case with a manufacturated china phone in the back, says SDI, is in this file the origin of the battery?
Yep. You've got a suspect battery.

And any here with atl?
I think everyone in xda with a note 7 has SDI battery right now.
I doubt this file provides accurate information. I have a HK version N7, whose battery should be made by ATL. However the file shows SDI.

hi bethedealer, are you based in HK? me too. i've actually been very suspicious of Samsung HK's vague, and delayed, announcement that their batch of phones "are unaffected". I still remember how weird it was on Friday seeing the Note 7 GLOBAL RECALL news on the net, yet HK stores were still selling the phone openly.
i think if any HK Note 7s were to catch fire, Samsung HK can and should get a lot of **** for being so evasive about the news.
also, side question: may i please know how you guys are checking the battery info/source? i don't know how...

I'm from HK. From the news several days ago about the global recall, we all found wired and were joking that HK is not part of the globe. Then Samsung HK announced in FB that as phones sold in HK and China has different battery supplier so the recall doesn't apply.

i just checked, my Singapore variant also says "SDI" in the battery type file. hey bethedealer, if you know anyone else with a HK Note 7, or if you post on the HK Chinese forums, can you please ask them to also check their battery type? the reason i ask is because i'm wondering if any of them say ATL (and HK ones should, in theory, say ATL instead of SDI)... unless these files really are just nonsense. I would do it myself but my Chinese typing ability is terrible.
UPDATE: oops, just saw you post it on Discuss.hk! hahah thanks.
I wonder why I don't have a batt_type file?
I have an SM-N930FD variant, originally from UAE and it says "Made in Vietnam"
However, under sys/class/power_supply I have an empty file called battery that is 0.00 B.
There is no folder called battery and nothing else called batt_type.
I'm also based in hong kong and bought the note 7 from broadway on 4/9. i checked that file and also states SDI......

It seems then that this file has no relationship with the battery origin...

From what I read, the ATL batteries may be shipped within China areas. So Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau may get them. But no guarantees.
China, Vietnam and Korea, all devices says SDI...

Only Chinese models sold in China have ATL batteries. Everyone else got SDI/ATL
As far as I know, Samsung couldn't put SDI batteries in phones destined for Chinese market due to some licensing issues (to protect their market China won't license foreign made batteries), so that should explain why China and HK are not included in recall, they all should have ATL batt. As for that file being accurate, my 3 yr old Note 3 has the same file and it also says SDI. Now, originally my Note 3 had battery which was assembled in China from SDI cells made in Korea. I think the problem with N7 batteries is not cells themselves, but how they were assembled, so maybe some phones using SDI cells may still have been assembled in China. But it may be impossible to figure where batteries were assembled and therefore global recall.

I just posted this in the other "who made your battery?" thread. All the battery cells are made by SDI. Third parties package the cells in to battery packs. It is most likely that testing apps read the cell and not who packaged it. So everyone has a SDI battery but the problem isn't with the cell it's with who packaged it.
Samsung concluded that the faulty batteries are to blame for the explosions. Samsung SDI is the group within Samsung that makes batteries for the Galaxy Note 7. That is, Samsung SDI produces the battery cell, but the battery pack production is outsourced to other firms. Korean ITM Semiconductor produces the battery pack for the Galaxy Note 7’s that are sold in Korea. ITM’s batteries seem to have been the ones that exploded. Meanwhile, most phones sold in China are going to have battery packs from Chinese company Amperex Technology.
from HongKong, the file shows "SDI" as well. I wonder if anyone shows "ATL" ???
I just had my Note 7 exchanged here in Singapore. And using the root Explorer method, the battery appears to still be SDI.
I know this topic is dead and moot with the ending of the Note 7, but, I haven't sent my replacement Note 7 in yet and my file just says "battery". Nothing else in the file. Man, I miss the N7.
