I've been looking at the samsungparts website and they have multiple versions of the 930F and each has multiple batteries in its respective section, by that I mean it has two batteries listed with different a part number each and slightly different price.
I don't know which one to order. Why would they have two batteries listed?

If someone knows please let us know because i'm interested too.
From what I can tell, every S7 variant (snapdragon/exynos) uses the same exact battery. Which makes sense from a manufacturing standpoint.
here's a tip though, don't order one that says Samsung on it. Samsung doesn't sell replacement batteries so they are all counterfeits. I tried one and the connector broke off about 2 months after installing (it broke off inside the phone, with the back glass sealed... wtf?)
Find another brand on amazon or some other website you trust and order a battery that is highly rated, it's your best option.
EDIT: Wow, did not know that there was a genuine Samsung parts distributor... Here it is
This is what you want:
https://www.samsungparts.com/GH43-04574A-BATTERY.html
Model is GH43-04574A / EB-BG930ABE
EDIT AGAIN: I see what you mean about the different Model Numbers, GH43-04574A VS GH43-04574C. I'd assume they are just from different suppliers, or perhaps a slight revision, but they should both be compatible. Order either you should be fine.

Samsung does have replacement batteries, they just don't retail them it doesn't mean an approved service center cannot buy them and resell them. In addition others simply buy new phones and part them but indeed most of those are counterfeits.
I am currently also looking to buy a replacement battery for my S7 but all these sites in EU dont seem trustworthy. Places like samsungparts.eu and samsung-parts.net kinda look like the usa one but i cant find any real information about them if they are official one's.
I think snapdragon

Hey there,
I am currently considering buying a Galaxy S II off eBay here in Australia and i was wondering what I should and shouldn't be looking for.
My main concern is that if I get Hong Kong/International stock then it may have differences (OS or Hardware) to the ones you can buy locally. Is there a way I could check to see where the handsets come from based on a model number or anything? and is anyone using an eBay bought SII to list the differences to local stock?
Thanks in advance,
DarkRyoushii
I bought mine off ebay ages ago, was listed as Australian stock...so if you are worried about overseas models just use the advanced search and choose only located in AU...then if it is not stated in the description just ask the seller if its aussie stock...though in most cases ones from overseas work just fine and I don't believe there are any differences (both local and overseas stock are international versions, besides the I9100T for telstra)

Thanks, there's a massive price difference between Australian ($700) and Unmentioned ($550) stock though so if possible I'd just love to make sure it won't turn up in some unheard of language with no way to change it, the wrong bands, restrictions (I know NTT Docomo limit text messages to 160 characters) on the OS or something like that.
so the I9100 stock is all the same with no variations? I thought there were different letters at the end to signify which region they were made for..
Thanks again,
DarkRyoushii
hmm well I got mine for $600...I'm pretty certain they are the international version...as long as it states I9100 and nothing else, it should be fine...also some sellers (eBay shops usually), provide 1 year warranties as well..
EDIT: there is an Australian stock on eBay now for 600 + 15 postage...if you're really that worried I'd recommend you just save yourself the worrying... I'm sure you could message the seller and negotiate for free shipping or something...

That's true Thanks for your help! +1 Thanks to you!
Your biggest concern with ebay is getting scammed, rather than getting a weirdo off-spec unit. As others say make sure it says I9100, and specs make sense (eg. 1.2 dual exynos, 4.3" screen, etc.) If you ended up with a qualcomm unit by accident (and wanted exynos...or vice versa) and your seller is legit they would have to accept return for product not as advertised.
Probably dumb question (sorry!): Is there any exterior difference between the various 'flavors' of S2?
I'm mostly interested in differences that would affect a dock/car dock or a case as I'm about to order some stuff from the UK (mobilefun.co.uk). Now that's for the i9100, and I've got the T-Mobile variant
I'd been assuming that all S2s were the same externally (just different radios, antennas, etc.) - but now I see separate car docks for the At&T model and the T-Mobile model. I'm hoping that that's just some sort of marketing deal Samsung has with those carriers, but I thought I'd better check before making a trans-Atlantic oops.
Thanks!
I ran into the same thing with carrier specific cases. I believe the AT&T version has the speaker on the right instead of the left. Not sure about the T-mobile. Maybe check pictures/360 view on their website. They should have pics of their model not generic Samsung pics.
Good luck.
You should look up the specs of the individual phones. The T-Mobile version is bigger than the ATT and i9100 versions. From what I can tell the i9100 and the ATT versions are the same dimensionally. I'm using that ATT home and car docks with my i9100.
Yes there are some differences, especially between international models and USA versions,
for example, i've noticed a certain american version (forgot which one) has a bigger screen,
also another american version (AT&T) the buttons at the bottom of the phone are different than the international version.
Other than the internal differences ofcourse.
cheers
I found the multiple pages inside samsung's us website for the versions going to the different carriers:
t-mobile version 5.11" x 2.71" x .37" weight 4.77 display 4.52"
at&t version 5.15" x 2.75" x .37" weight 4.66 display 4.50"
sprint version 5.11" x 2.74" x .38" weight 4.60 display 4.52"
The speakers are, indeed, in different places, and the t-mobile version back is quite different, covers the entire back, including the speaker, which is on the left, as you look directly at the back.
I also ended up with a 'near field' equipped battery, so I guess there's gear to drive that as well.
Glad I asked, as I'd have ordered the wrong case from the UK. Pity as I really wanted that flip-cover screen protector, as I hate looking through screen protectors, but not nearly as much of a pity as having the wrong case in hand and trying to figure if it was worth shipping it back to the UK for a refund.
Thanks everyone!
Pleases note, that this is the wrong forum for the T-mobile SGS2, this is the right forum section.
Just a fyi before you try to flash anything and brick your phone.
Thanks! I hadn't gotten that far (still reading up - and clearly was reading up on the wrong stuff).
Does anyone have a Galaxy S III with just a plain box? My other I9300's had writing on the back with specs and the imei and stuff. This box has nothing on it, its from Hong Kong. The phone is working as an I9300 should and is running the new jellybean leak. Any ideas? or info? Or is this how they are sold out there?
Attached are pics of the plain white box and a pic of the french 32gb one i had.
This is the actual phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852761
Original and new GS3 doesn't comes with leaks Jellybean. I think yours is second-hand phone.

I know they dont come with the leak, its rooted running the leaked ROM. Im just wondering about the blank box.
No idea. What's system info say you have? What's the previous owners response?
Obviously that box missed out on printing or it is fake.. No NFC, would be a good indicator. Should have posted phone pics, front and back with phone cover off.

I dont have the phone, this is the phone i was going to trade my ATT S3 for. I am going to ask about what you said.
there are tonnes of fake S3 out there on sale now.
updated the op with the actual phone
the pictures in the link seems legitimate for the int' S3. if that is the box he shows you, you could probably say it's an AP set (original samsung sets that was bought from another source (country) other than the official distributor in that country, for a lower price). AP sets may be packaged in duplicated box or box from another s3 (IMEI of sticker may not match IMEI of the phone). "Risks" of AP sets = original parts swapped with fake battery/ fake accessories. Samsung stores in your country most likely won't allow RMA for AP sets. Wholesalers in my country actually sells duplicated box (from china) for phones like these.
These are just precautions, best you ask the seller. People in Asian countries, esp places like south east asia buys AP sets because they are cheaper than the usual RRP
Big thanks for the information

Just get to know about this thread. I found that the box is not the original but from a TMobile but the phone itself is i9300 - at least that's what I think as I have applied various i9300 ROMs. I bought it from a colleague who brought it from Hongkong.
Is there any way to check out if it's a fake??
Been searching for a case to order so I will have it ready to go when my Note II finally ships. However, I'm seeing some information on ebay indication that some of the cases only fit the GT-N7100 model and will not fit other sub-models? I was under the impression that there was no difference is shape/size among any of the carrier variants? Can someone confirm?
Here's just one such case that I found that alludes to fitment differences among the variants.
Black Flip Case for Note II
I have heard talks about the edges may being different, but I really doubt it. This hasn't been confirmed and from the leaked pictures the phones look exactly the same. I'm pretty sure the only reason the USA has different models is due to carrier frequencies and technologies (GSM & CDMA).

I hope you're right and am keeping my fingers crossed. However, it does give me pause in pre-purchasing some accessories for the phone.
I was hoping there was a way to use the front cover with replacement battery door and a case but it looks impossible unless someone made one specifically for it. You would think Samsung would have had the genius to design one.
Heya, not found any answers around the internet about this question, I have a G965F and a G965U1.
The G965F has a broken screen and I want to swap out the screen from my G965U1 into it, but I haven't managed to find any info on whether this is possible or not.
Thankie :3
If it has the same part number you're good, if not it will likely puke all over you.

Kinda wanted to find out before I pulled them apart but not sure how to find out without doing so, Samsung not good at disclosing manufacturing parts per model

The PN# should be somewhere on the display.
Try Googling displays for both and see if the pn#'s are the same.
So according to this the part they're offering is said to be compatible with both, so that would suggest that there is no different between the models and they both can interchange the OLED ?

I guess. Hard to say if it's not a OEM part. See what other customers are saying maybe.
