samsung galaxy s2 full body frame - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey everyone i just bought a used s2 and as usual it has some marks of use in the edges.
but since my s2 is white it looks ugly with that marks.
is there anyway (cheaper of course) of replacing the body frame so i can get a good looking phone?
will appreciate if u can provide some links for me to buy.
best regards,
merry christmas,

New Phone. Suggestions?

Hello guys I'm gonna upgrade my Nexus S. I'm trying to find a phone that has a better battery life combined with speed (I TOTALLY hate lag while typing) and screen size.
Can you suggest me a phone under 450€?
(I already know the Galaxy Note & the SII but I hate the "poor" plastic case so I'd love a good HTC)
Thanks!
I love my galaxy nexus that I got straight from google

I didn't like the plastic case of the SII first too. But after comparing all other aspects (screen, microsd, user changable battery, 2000mah available,...) I bought one some time ago.
I have bought a silicon / rubber case from Mumbi for the phone. It fits very good with the extended 2000mah battery. And I really like the sturdy silicon surface around the phone. So I don't feel the cheap surface of the phone anymore and the phone is very well protected.
Just think about this option.
There are many possible choices... check this.
just as an add-on:
We have a HTC Sensation at work to check for compatibility etc. It really feels more sturdy than the pure Galaxy SII, but also thicker and less handy.
The SII with the case feels sturdy and handy.
What about the Sensation XE?

[Q] Anyone figure out how to attach a lanyard?

Lanyards are pretty awesome for preventing your phone to fall out your hand and out your pocket. I was pretty devastated not having a lanyard anchor for this phone.Has anyone found a way or a case that allows a lanyard?

Ringke SLIM Lite case for Samsung Galaxy S III
It has a lanyard attachment (corner) and gives a little protection to the camera without really adding anything to the size.
be honest you know the real reason you wanted a place to attach a lanyard is so you could decorate your phone with charms..

eBay or Amazon is probably be the best. eBay has flip like covers. Amazon barley has any cases, but i found one that i liked in Amazon for i think $15.

I'm not sure what you mean by fitted case but ebay has mostly TPU Gel (the very shiny ones) cases that are fitted. I was trying to find you the nillkin case but it seems that they don't either sale or make them anymore. To me it's the best fitted case. I found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Hard-...834129?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item337e82cf91.
This case is the one I bought on Amazon. I love this case. For some reason, this case makes me Galaxy Player 5.0 look bigger lol. It rubbery grips along the side to grip your Galaxy Player.All buttons are easily accessible. Altho the holes for the headphone jack is a big to small. But my earphones (Galaxy S3 earphones) fit fine. You may need to cut to make the hole a little bigger. I can post pictures of all the sides if you want. People posted pictures on Amazon and one of them is the bottom which has the slightly off center hole for the headphone jack.

Search "Genuine Leather Book Case for Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 YP-G70 Galaxy Player 5.0" on ebay. I'd link to it, but anti-spam measures won't let me yet. It should be what you are looking for.

Good price and nice case. Unfortunately shipping to Brazil takes centuries.
Tpu-gel - good deal
I already bought one of those TPU-gel cases at e-bay, i choosed the blue color, came through regular mail to Brazil, took about 2 months to arrive...
But it's a really good deal, where i live the stores are charging about $24 each..

[Q] Is my battery is original? The rounded tip

Hi,
I bought recently the battery for my Samsung Galaxy S3.
I'm not sure whether it's fake or not, but compared to my old battery there is one difference:
The label's tip is rounded.
Here are photos:
I hope someone can help me
Defozo
Looks original.
Myn original battery has also round tips.
I think it's a fake, mainly because on mine says that it's fabroque in korea and asembled in vietnam, not in china lime yours, and packaging is not original samsung, how os the quality of black plastic on top and bottom? It has to be perfect without any small bumps or glitches.
Oh yeah, and if you want to be sure, remove the samsung sticker to see underneatj and see if the nfc connector cables are good quality and as straight as a perfect line.

[Q] how to tell if a strap is genuine?

Hey ,
bought the gray strap in ebay here (although it's mocha color)
just received it today.
And it feels a lot different from the strap that came with the watch (I have the white one).
the texture is completely different , the mocha strap is a lot stiffer.
also attached pictures of the package.
question is , how can I tell if it's original or not?
Thanks

everything samsung that is white feels weird. Even their phone covers, my wife and I have the edge and I have a black cover while she got the white. both genuine samsung but the white is way more plastic feeling, same for the other phones. considering that theres like zero alternatives for bands and samsung is always out of stock, if it fits then roll with it.
nice find though, thats the cheapest Ive seen including shipping, may have to pick one up for myself.

in my case , the white feels nicer and like it's made from high quality material.
the mocha feels like harder cheap plastic
the seller response
Got a response from my seller who talked to Samsung. this is pretty much satisfying :
Regarding your question, I asked Samsung technician in Samsung Service in Korea and he said that Samsung uses different raw materials to make good color/ shape of each strap as follows.
A. Material of “White strap” is fluoro rubber.
B. Materials of “Gray strap” are urethane and silicon.
There are big difference of materials, consisting of white strap and gray strap. That’s why you feel difference.
There are 5 different strap colors from Samsung.
White strap is a lot smoother and flexible than other colors such as Gray, Black, Blue and Red strap.
another official reply from Samsung :
Unfortunately, there's not a code or anything that you could check on replacement bands for this device to ensure authenticity. We do recommend purchasing from official Samsung retail places to be sure you're purchasing original accessories. However, I can tell you that some of the different colors do have a different feel to them than others. The white straps are softer/more pliable
hope I helped someone somewhere.
