Spent the last 2 hours reading through all the posts and searching Google in regards to finding an extended battery, 1800mah or 2000mah that fits with the stock cover and works with our NFC chip.
All the posts on here are a few weeks to a few months old, so I was wondering if anyone has found the hidden gem? I know about the Korean version with the case mod, but I enjoy the OEM case with the "Galaxy S II" logo on the back. But if push comes to shove and there are no other options, I will go with the Korean one.
So, anyone want to help out?
Korean one is your best bet as I have looked at all the aftermarket extended batteries which do not have NFC in them.
NFC is in the battery not the phone.
But I am also interested in a good, confirmed, extended battery that will fit like stock.

The NFC chip is in the phone and is allowed to be used by a "NFC ready" battery.

I bought the 2000mah euro version for its cover and i bought the 2000 mah Korean version for the battery. Waiting for them 2 arrive. Then i need 2 sell the euro version battery.

So, can the 2000mah Korean version cover be dremeled down to snap onto the i777 properly?
I'm a little confused, why not get the battery and use the stock cover?

Probably can but i don't have a dremel, that's why i bought the euro version 2000mah kit, it supposedly snaps right on.

Got the Korean version, dremeled the Korean cover to fit on, and then went ahead and bought a SGP Linear case. Looks amazing.

Awesome!
1. Can I get a link to your seller? I have found that a lot of them can't confirm their batteries have NFC capabilities (I'm assuming yours did).
2. How did the case fit after modding?
3. With the sgp case, do you just have to leave off the battery cover section so that it ends up being something like a bumper?
Thanks!

Yes they did, the case fit pretty well - as if it came factory, and nope, the case fits over the battery and the battery cover.
I will post some pictures and maybe a little tutorial and all that when I get home next weekend.
I bought it from here though.

i think the model # from the link is incorrect. "...STD" version is the international non-nfc version. the korean (nfc) is either "...BSG" or "...BEG".

Might be the page which is incorrect, because my battery model number is: EB-K1A2EBSG.
On the site it also says "The EB-K1A2EBSG is the Korean version of the EB-K1A2EBEGSTD. The battery is an NFC version and will fit any Samsung Galaxy S2. However, the back plate is incompatible, and only fits the Korean Galaxy S 2."
Thanks for the link! I'm assuming the site's reputable right? Mind if I ask what shipping method you chose and how long it took? Thanks for all your help!
(P.S. Saw you were from California, my wife and I are heading to wedding in LA. Hoping for nice weather!)

Pretty reputable, it's a French company and being from France I trusted it. I know my cousin who lives in France uses it a lot.
I used standard international shipping and it took about 8 days from being marked as "shipped" to arrive to me in California.
Weather has been pretty nice, not that much rain, spent a few days in LA with my family who lives there, but I'm in France now visiting the other side of my family!
So wait, the battery COVER* you purchased off of ExportPrive didn't need any sort of modification to snap into an i777? I'm a little confused! haha. I'm excited to pick one up! Also by 'Euro' version of SGSII, do you mean the standard/stock i9100 cover? I can just pick up a nice looking aftermarket i9100 case and it'll accommodate the larger battery? Thanks again.
Related
Has anyone tried these on in the AT&T version of the GSII? I would think we could use the slimmer international batteries since our back cover would still fit, but I wanna make sure they won't jar loose if dropped or something.

TNT turned up at exactly the same time the wife popped up the local, I've been told I can pick it up from the depot at 9am tomorrow..
At least the depot is over the road from work I suppose..
Ordered at 8:58 as an afterthought because the Nexus 4 sold out even quicker (I'd always intended on getting the N10 as well, I know it's not exactly an alternative to the N4 lol) Went out late this morning but luckily there's always someone in at my house. Got home about 1ish and there it was.

stock browser is chrome which is speedy but i'll more than likely switch it up. Apps load quickly too although the ram usage is rather high. Idles over 1gb but it maybe due to my two user configuration.
I understood the entire package weighs almost 3000 grams! What is in it that makes it so heavy? The device it self weigs only 603 grams..what's the other 2,5 kilos??
Can somebody please comfirm to me how much the entire parcel weighs in grams? (as you have received it by mail including the shipping box)
I need to know this for a shipping price quote.
Thanks in advance!

Now if one of you will just look under display in the settings and tell us once and for all if there is an option there for "wireless display" please? The uncertainty of whether it was getting miracast or not has kept me from pushing the "buy it now " button.

Just checked and no 'wireless display' option. Sorry!
Hi guys I was having issues connecting my new SII to my att network. I checked the imei using the *#06# and it came back with the generic samsung imei of 00499010640000. When I went to check behind the battery cover it also showed the same imei printed there.
This seems shady as I know that imei is the generic samsung imei when the efs folder gets corrupted. It is worrysome to see the same imei on the back of the phone as I think this means this phone is fake or a prototype.
I bought the phone on ebay from a chinese seller and I've already been refunded my money and told to keep the device by ebay since it doesn't work and they also believe it is fake.
What are your thoughts? The phone never connects to 3g but it will connect over gprs and load pages. However it won't make calls. Very strange. By the way I've flashed stock gb ics and jb and they all work with exception of the modem.
Thanks
Can ypu post more info on this device?
Remove battery, SD and SIM card and take a picture. Also screenshot about screen and the device's box.

Interesting... This is a second time someone is posting a photo of this design (battery terminals on the left side, SD card is by the SIM, antenna connector is in a different place) that doesn't look like the "standard" i9100. And both times there are questions about the IMEI...

It doesn't have to be a knock-off... But it could be some sort of a prototype or a development model. There is no way in hell this phone is from a regular production run - not with the IMEI sticker like this. And the hardware design differences are quite significant from a standard i9100. True, all manufacturers always leave their options open to change the specs or design without notice, but how many people have actually seen this variant IRL or even on the photos? "Fake" or not, this is definitely an oddball...
Could this be the chinese variant of the gt i 9100?

Is it possible to fix this phone?
You could but you won't, it's not strictly legal.
You've been refunded so keep that device and do whatever you want with it, who knows, maybe you'll need some parts one day.
Now focus on getting an I9100, the real thing
You could also contact samsung and see what they have to say about a what-is-seems-to-be legit I9100 with a generic IMEI (Branded under the battery).

Get a mophie or some other wireless charging/extra battery case for it.. it'll obviously definitely add to the size/weight of the phone tho over a standard case.. I wouldn't get the cheap chinese one's off ebay tho, horrible things that don't last long at all.

Yeah ive tried 2-3 different Chinese ones, although admittingly they were for my iPhone and not the HTC one. They were great for the first month or two and then and then they all started having issues. 1 would fail to charge ever again regardless of charger, another failed to hold a charge for longer than ~4hrs, another would constantly cycle charging on/off while switched on and trying trying to charge the phone. Just had a bad experience overall and waiting a month+ for RMA is a bit much. Much better to get a legit one for these reasons at a place where you can RMA in your own country if you ever need it.
