first of all, where is the most safe internet store to buy a galaxy s2 in the US?
well, im looking at ebay for the galaxy s2 and after searching i got a lot of results from top rated sellers. here are some descriptions of their items:
s2 factory unlocked
s2 unlocked and rooted (jailbreak)
s2 skyrocket at&t
s2 titanium t989
s2 epic 4g touch d710 mint clear esn
s2 epic 4g touch bad esn
so this is very confusing...
i simply want the galaxy s2 standard 4.3" or the galaxy s2 LTE 4.5" version. whichever is better. I guess that the 4.5" is better right? if so, then i want that version. the 4.5" have better battery life?
what should i look for at ebay in order to buy the galaxy s2? also... what is the price for the s2 4.3" and what is the price for the s2 4.5"?
also i guess that "factory unlocked" means that this is a brand new phone while a "unlocked and rooted (jailbreak)" means that this is a phone that was bought from an operator like AT&T or Sprint and then manually unlocked right? if so, then if the phone has been unlocked it means that it have a cloned IMEI?
what protection steps should i take to prevent myself getting a s2 with cloned IMEI? i believe that a phone with a cloned IMEI could get me in troubles with the police right?
also, if i buy a s2 that is locked to Sprint then can i unlock it manually to work with any other operator WITHOUT changing the IMEI which is illegal? IMEI and ESN is the same?
please guys help me im newbie thanks

Just means its sim free
s2 unlocked and rooted (jailbreak)
second hand phone no Samsung warranty
also i guess that "factory unlocked" means that this is a brand new phone
No just means its not locked to a carrier new or used
, then if the phone has been unlocked it means that it have a cloned IMEI?
NO

Buy from a legitimate known source not from an ebay private seller

even top rated ebay sellers could sell me a s2 with a cloned IMEI?
if so, then what are the legitimate places to buy my s2 online within the US? i do not want to buy from an operator i want to buy an unlocked s2.

I got mine (an unlocked international gt-i9100) from expansys usa, and I'm using it fully functional on AT&T.
Another thing to note is if you're in the US, to make sure you get one that is compatible with your network.
AT&T:
GT-I9100 (international GS2, usually unlocked, but not always)
SGH-I777 (ATT branded GS2)
SGH-I727 (ATT branded LTE GS2; aka the Skyrocket - be careful, there's also the SGH-I727R, which I believe DOES work on ATT, but I'm not positive about that. The SGH-I727R is also Rogers branded)
T-Mobile USA:
SGH-T989 (T-Mobile USA branded GS2)
Sprint:
SPH-D710 (Sprint branded GS2)
The T-Mobile and AT&T versions will work on each other's networks for voice, but not for 3g/"4g". If you try to use data on the wrong network, best data speeds you will get for mobile is Edge.
Neither T-Mob or ATT will work on Sprint, and Sprint will only work on Sprint, but I believe the Sprint version can be flashed to work on Cricket. I don't think any will work on Verizon.

See my post above. The LTE version will only work on AT&T. If you're on Sprint, for example, and you don't want to leave Sprint, then getting the LTE version won't do you any good. It won't work on Sprint. If you don't care about network, get whichever one you want, and go to that network. If you DO care about network, your choices are more limited.
The 4.5" isn't necessarily better. There are many differences. The international one (GT-I9100) has a better processor, (Exynos) but this processor is not compatible with LTE. So the LTE one has a different (IMO, inferior) processor which is clocked at a higher speed to try to compensate. It really depends on what you are interested in.

I personally wouldn't look on ebay for this phone. The first time I tried to buy this phone, I DID look on ebay. Turned up a scam, got my money back, and went to expansys.
Hi, does anyone here know where can i get a digitizer without the at&t logo I saw a white galaxy note with a black screen digitizer and I have to say It looks awesome! like a huge galaxy nexus... but, however i looked all over the internet and i cannot find any that doesn't include the lcd, the ones with no lcd are for the n7000.
It's probably easier to get a black Note and swap the battery cover, than to get a white Note and swap the digitizer...
Same effect
Yes, but I need a european version because I don't want the AT&T logo on it.

The Euro version will not be i717, and will have the button on the bottom.
Maybe a Rodgers or Bell, Canadian version, will be what you want(?)

I would suggest you ask or look in the GT-N7000 sub-forum (I assume that's the model you have). I doubt the AT&T logo digitizer would work as a replacement for your Euro version. Also make sure your phone doesn't or has the glass/digitizer glued together before you order and waste your money.

I suspect the Canadian versions are similar to the AT&T version, as they all have the same model designation + a letter to differentiate between carriers.
Rogers Note here, no AT&T logo anywhere, just says Samsung at the top.

SGH-i717 models:
SGH-i717 = ATT
SGH-i717R = Rogers
SGH-i717D = Telus

Thanks for the clarification, guess reading through tapatalk I wasn't reading it right
How about a screen protector with colored border?
This continues to be 1 of the main issues with the US carriers: their lame branding...
And the fact they decide to give different names to the same exact phone models (except with some changes here-and-there).
Too bad here in the US, we only get the iPhone and Motorola phones early (which is pathetic). We can thank the 2 reasons listed above for this fiasco.
Aren't the expensive? Like around $250 I believe

Personally its not worth the trouble..or the money. Just sayin...

the screens are interchangeble. You can get screen without logo for international version but also you will need a set of new buttons. Since the screen is glued to housing it is also easier to install with new housing. Then just flash the rom with international version because of the button. Digitizer is glued to lcd touch so expect to waste roughly $300-350 in order to get rid of att logo. As stated earlier its not worth it.

You can't flash an international rom, it will brick the phone. The hardware is different.
If I was to order an unlock Titan II off ebay would I be find to use it in the UK on three with no problems?
Let's hope so. I am awaiting delivery of a Titan 2 from across the pond [email protected] Branded but unlocked, In theory it should work on 3G but may involve manually inputting APN settings, I am on O2 but if it works then no reason why not on 3 network, Let you know when it eventually arrives
Just chatted with a HTC adviser and they said it should be ok for O2 seeing as the Titan 2 covers the 900mhz frquency, Not sure which 3 use but reckon will be ok.
I wonder if it is possible to buy a non at&t branded titan 2. Do they exist?
Now there's a very good question, I guess in theory they should exist but just not available to the UK market, The crux of the Titan 2s I believe were mainly for AT&T, I must admit I would prefer an unbranded one but think I can suffer the logo on the front for now at least.
I could not live with the logo, unless i can sandpaper it off, put a black sticker over it or buy a replacement housing form ebay
awesome
Let us know if it works, I am currently torn between ordering a Titan 2 from the US or a Lumia 900 (so much cheaper on ebay sim free from the US than they are in the UK.)
Dear all,
I'm brazilian and my girlfriend is going to Los Angeles and New York next month, I want to know if she can get a Galaxy S III international model in any physical store in these two cities, or if I'll have to order online in some store and ask to ship to her hotel?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if I posted something wrong or in a wrong place.
I doubt it, I'm not a US resident but from what I know all brand new smart phones are locked by some sort of carrier and most of the phone sales are the north american version (snapdragon qualcomm dual core/ 4g LTE).
I believe that the only way to get the Samsung Galaxy S III International Model will be through ebay otherwise any online store. Could somebody tell me how did you get your international model living in USA?
Thanks
I am in NYC and I have them in both colors, as many as you need (I import and resell cell phones). Contact me.

Wants to know how one goes about getting the GT-I9300 while living in the US. He knows people have them, he doesn't know where they buy them from.

If this model doesn't is sold in USA stores, because in carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, ... ) you only have the american models. how did you get it? Ebay, some store that import it, someone who sells, did you understand?...
I brought a Lumia 920 off ebay recently. But now realised that it will work only on At&T network. The seller from whom i brought the phone is not helpful in this case.
To unlock an at&t phone i need to be an at&t customer. But thats not possible as i m currently in India.
Any AT&T customers here please help me out. :fingers-crossed:
