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.

They still sell it on the regular website and Best Buy and New Egg are still selling them on ebay. But this is very interesting that they have stopped selling it on ebay.
If they don't have any stock, how would they be running anything on eBay? I don't think ebay lets you run pre-orders and such. I'd bet it will come back up when stock arrive shortly.
It's no about stock actually.
They don't want non-US users to get the chance to buy the US model outside of the US. Which you were able to using eBay.
I was told by BHPhoto that they are restricted by ZTE to sell the device to non-US customers.
The US version is the better one compared to the international model.
Lucky me I have a buddy in NY area who got the newegg pre-order of the grey version and will forward it to me. I'm in Europe and have tested the A2017G. Sent it back as I'm waiting for the A2017U (US Model).
how is that the U model is better then G?

Could you please detail why G version would be worse than U. It is same hardware and only modem is different but modem behaves better in G as read comments anywhere? What do you expect from U? If you have software issues I am sure that if any is fixed in one of two it will be sorted out on other one too.

Actually only a few points that tipped it over for me in favor for the U version.
A: Better Software support from ZTE USA.
B: The U version has VoLTE which is supported in ROM/Baseband. The G version does not and never will. (Not supported in the modem firmware).
C: U version allows you to enter EDL mode (Qualcomms Emergency Download Mode). I need this as I'm a dev. The G version can only enter DFU mode.
D: All the band's that are required in my Euro country and in the US are supported. I travel to friends in the US and don't want to have to switch phones.
E: With the newegg pre-order you were given free headphones for around 200$. After customs it will be the same price as the G version in euros but with additional free high quality headphones.
F: My buddy tested the phone for "bad signal reception" and other faults/defects I mentioned to look out for. For over a week before sending the device over. Else I would have told him to send it back.
He is using an OP3 and even compared them as a daily driver. He said it's on par with the OP3. He even said the Axon7 is like "stuck on 4G" while his OP3 loses 4G occasionally and gets 3G only.
He is an experienced IT tech. I trust his judgement.
He is even thinking about selling his OP3 and to grab an Axon7 as soon as CM is done.

The G model has a lower volume cap, possibly due to EU regulations, while the U model has a much higher cap. The G model also seems to have more issues with bootloader unlocking, while the U model is pretty straight forward.

Thanks for the details. You see it from developer point of view mainly as I see.
A) I don't know. May be but as I see much less G related problem was reported than U.
B) May be but Volte is not as wide spreaded in EU as in US. as far as I know. Otherwise It looks that workaroud (if not the final solution) for signal issue of US model is turning Volte off, so you can get in same boat easily.
C) I don't know how important it is for avaradge users. Orherwise it is also software fearure if I understand it well.
D) You are lucky. Not eveeybody can say that US bands cover of his/her country exactly.
E) Just because of this fact US version is not better. It is only cheaper.
F) It is strange because mostly US users complain for signal reception. I haven't had any issue with. G. It works perfectly and expectedly in big city as well as low signal country area. As I mentioned earlier it looks that workaroud (if not the final solution) for signal issue of US model is turning Volte off.
Also I read that overwriting field APN manually can solve few cell issues. I did it due to orher reason and I don't have any issue.
So after all you didn't mentioned anything why U would be better for users except Volte. It is just your taste and chance to get it cheaper.

That's why I said it's only a few points for _me_ and not for _all_ users.
And as I have a chance to get all those pros for the same price in the end it is a no brainer.
Also I do not believe that the antenna is so much different to the G model. It is more likely that a few batches had a bad antenna build-in and when ZTE realized that, due to complains, new batches after the affected one's were sent off, were all build with a better antenna in place.
The Chinese and US Models were on the first batches. The international ones were produced later. Look into Chinese forums complaining about reception problems.
Unfortunate it is how the greedy corporate industry world works today. Sell those affected phones until enough users complain. If they complain, offer an exchange. If they don't they made profit.
Just look at the Samsung Note 7 disaster. Same **** is happening there.
Not to mention Samsungs Panel Lottery for their TV which has been going on for a decade.
I worked for Huawei Europe HQ and could write a book about how corporations do their quality check behind the doors. Just saying I'm never gone touch a Huawei phone because of what I know.
(Don't ask I signed an nondisclosure agreement.)
In the end it's on you to decide if you want to keep the phone or not. Or if you want to pay 399$ with more pros or 449euro for more cons.
Isn't the chinese A2017 model better than the rest? I mean... like, you know... 6gb RAM vs 4gb... 128gb internal vs 64... and you can use all the U unlocks/tools w/ no issue?
Seems that many of you forget that having US version in Europe you are out of warranty.
To many customers warranty is very important to them.
Also EU has 3 years warranty policy while US 2 years.
I'm having a month now both gold and gray G version and no reception /WiFi issue at all.
Compared to my S7 Edge the call reception is the same level and WiFi is better.
Also G version will have in coming weeks official root and boot loader unlocked from ZTE without loosing the warranty.
Even that US version is getting first the official software updates it's just matter of time(less than 1 month) until G version also received the software update for the specific region(Europe)

You could be right. That's how the world works. You also are not enemy of your money as well as no one else.
Regarding the price I would say that EU price contains the average 21% EU VAT. So it means that price of EU version would be between $410 or 415 in US. So it is not a big deal. Also I think that EU citizens should pay duty if they import from US but it is already off topic.

They do. Just not on specific electronics like Notebooks, Computer Hardware, Cell phones etc
Oddly enough, amazon has also stopped selling the phone. I guess it could just be sold out though.
Hm, still "in stock" at amazon.com:
https://www.amazon.com/ZTE-Axon-unl...TF8&qid=1476347129&sr=8-3&keywords=zte+axon+7
Amazon.com has gold for $399.98, but the grey (which is what I want...) is $479.00. What gives???
Haven't seen any definitive confirmation of this? All I've seen is regarding the South Korean launch.
My guess is yes. In fact, I hear it will be released in the UK (exclusive to one carrier) and Germany. No sure about other countries. But since it was unveiled in Barcelona, I take that as a good sign that it will be released there.
No need to guess, there have been definite statements.
LG's UK site is showing that the UK will get the Blue and Silver colour options. Price and release date TBC.
Carphone Warehouse have confirmed to have it.

Oh, come on. OnePlus can't even figure how to get to 1440p AMOLED or Qi wireless charging.
When OnePlus decided to make a real top tier phone let me know. ZTE with their 2016 Axon 7 and upcoming 2017Axon 9 is what OnePlus pretends to be, a real contender.
Everyone knows 2017 is the Year of the Zero Bezel Phone. Even Apple knows that! And OnePlus released an iterative update when they needed something more radical. Something like the LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S 8/8+, LG V30, Samsung Note 8.
Even Apple is going zero bezel, more than 1080p with AMOLED, and adding Qi wireless charging!
ZTE will be announcing something similar in October, but with stereo speakers. And probably will be budget priced like the ZTE AXON 7.
The LG V30 will probably be my next phone, and I've already bought cases for it. But I am curious about the ZTE AXON 9...
OnePlus could have done the same thing, but they blew it. Same old same old. They easily could have released a zero bezel, 1440p AMOLED phone to beat Apple iPhone 8 or X, or whatever they're calling it. They easily could have added Qi wireless charging. Instead they released 5.5" 1080p slab with huge bezels that looks like last year's iPhone 7.

Except the camera might not work as good as stock. At least this is the case with Samsung phones and LOS... And that would be a real shame because so far it looks like v30 has a superb camera for movie clips and that's the only reason I consider buying v30.

i was at IFA this year and i held it in my hands and it was f***ing awesome. i wanted to buy it since end of august.
in the meantime i smashed my sgs7e to pieces and i need a new phone even more. and i also wanted to wait for the new pixel to be presented and also looked at the op5/T also maybe the huawei mate 10
but in my opinion the v30 has the most complete package. in the pixel 2 you dont get dual cams no wireless charging and no headphone jack.
i think only dual front facing speakers and the pure vanilla android software do not justify the price.

For me the more important thing are dimension and fingerprint position, in v30 these are perfect, S8+ is way to big and the fingerprint is in a weird position, but it costs 250 Euros less :silly:
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?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
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.

Hello i have owned my galaxy S9+ (SM-G965U1) for about a year now. Problem is that One UI has completely ruined my life and my entire experience with my phone. Back when it ran Oreo it was near perfect.
So i need help figuring out what the best S9+ with a unlocked bootloader is and where i might be able to buy them new that is.
My plan is to buy one with a unlocked bootloader so i will never have to deal with the piece of human excrement that is One UI

Yes believe it or not it has truly made my life miserable. I don't understand why companies try to fix stuff that isn't broken.
To answer your question the snapdragon SM-G9650 varient Is OEM unlockable it is China, Brazil etc basically international version and any of the Exynos
Are I believe.
Exynos is good for development only as long as the official android is upgraded. But it's closed source with sammy proprietary blobs.
I've got a Note4 Exynos and officially it was upgraded to MM. Only because of months and years of miraculous work of a couple of developers, it's working (with a few hiccups) with TW nougat and up to oreo Lineage.
If you want to change the phone and got the cash after 2 years (or 3? ) of major upgrades from Samsung, then Exynos is OK.
As for me the OP7 (pro maybe) can cut a better deal. Huge deving possibility. And ain't got too much money to change the phone too often.
Good luck.

hmm... no idea thats a first i heard of newegg sell counterfit anything but essentially the model code for snapdragon unlocked is SM-G9650 Note: there is not a letter after the zero ive seen ones SM-G9650U and SM-G9650U1 not sure difference between the three mine i got through rent a center but assume you can get them online you can try amazon at least if you get a counterfit they will do something.

Hi guys,
Quick question.
Shouldn't we be able to choose from snapdragon or exynos SoC? I mean isn't this like lying to costumers about their product? I bought a S9+ and in overall the phone is good BUT there's a good difference when it comes to playing games on it. Snapdragon is more efficient than Exynos and I don't think that selling a S9+ with Snapdragon and S9+ for the same is correct.
What's is your opinion, guys? ?
Yes, it is legal.
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
It's legal... because by model number you can check device specifics.
Even with many things you'll find same model number but with different revisions where hardware has been changed in some way on each revision.
So you should check first which model you prefer.
Sent from S.G. S9 Plus Duos using Tapatalk
I must pay more attention to it when buy smartphones next time.
Unfortunately, it is. What it isn't legal is if you buy it online claiming to be the Snapdragon version and you get the Exynos version.
I was fortunate enough to get a SD version (gift) lol the only down side is it doesn't have an unlockable BL

Snapdragon is more efficient than Exynos and I don't think that selling a S9+ with Snapdragon and S9+ for the same is correct.
What's is your opinion, guys? ?

its fifty bajillion percent legal. is it being transparent to the consumer? not at all. That being said, yes, the model number is on the box, but who would know to check for that? The average android user isnt even aware that there are 3 very distinctly different sets of models for galaxy phones these days. All they know is that there is a + and a non+ model. I get it why they dont just lay it out there for folks to interpret as it can easily get murky for the average consumer.
Long story short is that Samsung is in a very complicated position that they created for themselves. They legally have to tell people that they are different models, but 99,9% of the users dont care in the slightest what processor it has
