Where can I get a new battery door?

Do I contact Samsung directly? I'm looking for the original one. How much would that cost??

Thanks. I also saw them on ebay, but are they the real thing from Samsung?

I'll sell mine. Never used. I bought my phone and the extended battery at the same time.....

As real as you're gonna get. Samsung isn't gonna sell you one. Just buy from someone with good feedback.

DealExtreme have some cheap ones ($9.50):

As im a new member im unable to post outside links, but the link that liam77 posted from dealextreme interested me.
Anyone had any experience with this particular battery door?
looking at the pictures its branded "samsun". wondering if this is intentional to avoid copyright infringement or if its a problem with the picture..

I haven't bought one, but have bought other stuff from there. They seem to photoshop any brand names out for their photos, as they're not genuine I suppose.
I'd guess that the missing 'g' would be on the actual cover.

Alloy, cheaper and with free whipping:

[Q] NFC battery replacements i9250 - very difficult to find!

I've bought 5 batteries now, all claimed to have NFC but they don't have it.
Where can I buy a replacement NFC battery? Do I have to make one? If so, how?
The batteries I have bought you need to avoid include:
- http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Capac...UTF8&qid=1403692932&sr=1-5&keywords=I9250+nfc
- various from dinodirect sold as NFC but they actually don't have them
- a pisen from ebay. I think this brand doesn't make them
What is the address to buy one direct from Samsung?

do you have the gsm.or.cdma tuna variant?
maguro, toro, toroplus?

any recommendations regarding good replacement battery?

Is there a way to find out of the battery supports NFC without using a nfc-tag? I bought one from mugen and could check it out for you.

That would be great, thanks
You could try the NFC Info. app for this.
Things to try:
- passports with the chip sign on the front
- newer credit cards
- keycards for getting in apartments
- anti theft rfid tags in stores. Common in the perfume section including toilet smellies
- many book stores put the tags inside the cover of books or in a random page
I contacted Samsung UK directly for a replacement. They were unable to point me to somewhere that has the batteries. When I really pressed hard (because I need this battery or I have to buy another phone) they ignored me. I think they are no longer making the batteries but enforcing the patent on the battery NFC design to prevent others from making them. The only people claiming to make them now as a result are fakers. This is anticompetitive of course and it means that if you buy a Samsung phone you can expect it to start to become broken in terms of NFC after a year or 2 as the battery fades. I think the practice has extended to newer phones. If true (that they're using this as a way to break our phones to get us to buy new ones) then I won't be buying a Samsung again.

I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-Extende...981067&sr=8-1&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
Works very well, still works as it did the first day it came (about 4 months ago)

Thanks! Went to buy but they won't send to the UK or Spain unfortunately. A friend in Hong Kong has bought me one that hopefully is real. If not then I might get in touch to see if you want to sell me yours on at a profit

Just see if you can get a freight forwarder from the US to the UK. Or as we call them in my country a Skybox account.

This is the one I bought in 2012 and has worked perfectly since. It's a genuine Samsung extended battery with NFC.

I'm also looking for a battery replacement. The one that venni posted comes with a whopping 34$ shipping fees so that's not acceptable. Any other suggestions? Ebay is filled with these 2$ "superpower" batteries but I'm sure they are crap.

Pretty expensive they are. I'm not willing to put much money on this old hammer anymore. I just hope to get some cheap power for this until Nexus 6 comes.

Delivery charges are same as the battery itself.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The shipping is expensive possibly because batteries are no longer allowed in air freight. Some companies accept them, but charge a lot more... or so I heard.
This is very much something to think about when you buy a new phone - buy a new battery while you can get one!

I bought 3 batteries. No one had NFC.
I'm thinking about buying this
http://www.ebay.it/itm/NFC-Antenna-..._Phone_Accessories&hash=item4ac9d6f8e8&_uhb=1
and connect with wires to the two nfc pins.
Do you think it would work?

Has anyone managed to find a reasonably priced battery yet?

Nope...
I've ordered that NFC battery linked in the earlier page of this... it's so cheap I'll give it a go.
A girlfriend has sent one from China bought from a shop... probably real...
but had to send my boat because of air freight restrictions. It's been 2 months waiting so far...
will update later

Deluxe cover is available in aliexpress. There was one seller who was selling with original packaging. I got one for me, but it is currently out of stock with him. You can get it from ebay.com but price is high there.

Did it come with NFC? My cover is starting to crack around the corner and the headphone jack

So if I'm correct, the OEM deluxe back doesn't have the Intel logo on the back, correct?

Most of them are not original as they are not coming with original retail packing. Like this one in ebay is original but price is high by Usd 10 from what I got from aliexpress. http://m.ebay.com/itm/262101389595
And to confirm mine came with nfc chip.

What is the point of buying a budget phone and then spend 60-90 dollars on a back cover...

Wow, they were 32 not so long ago... Supply and demand in action.

I have bought another non-original case and it is stupid that you can pull out stylus for example. Because of this I want to buy original. But it seems to be impossible.

I bought one recently directly from the online Verizon store. There's a verizon symbol in the corner, but it's stamped in, and black like the case, so it doesn't really stick out like some logos do.
It was only $10: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cachei-0nxwqb4J:https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/samsung-book-cover-case-for-galaxy-note-10-1-2014-edition/+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
It's not an amazing case, or anything, but I like it just fine. It wakes and sleeps well. The stand works well when used with it almost flat, but isn't very good for standing up. It can stand vertically, but it's a bit risky when it comes to the possibility of the magnetic spot sliding a bit and then collapsing.

When you look on eBay ask for a cover for the right tablet.The GT-N8000 is not the same as the SM-P600,SM-P605, or SM-P607. Any case which is made for the SM-P60× tablets will not fit the GT-N8000.

Aliexpress is a place with lots of shops, most shops are fine, few not so good.
Its like every other places in the world, good and bad shops... Most good I will give it 9 out of 10 stars.
I really love aliexpress, im in and looking nearly every day [emoji4]

Yes, you can buy via Aliexpress but choose the official store with high rating. Or you can buy from Gearbest, cheaper price, big promotion and better service. I prefer the Gearbest to buy more expensive stuffs and Aliexpress for cheaper stuffs.
