I asked for an extra battery for Christmas. I specified that it needed to be shipped and sold from Amazon but mom didn't pay attention, and I got a 3rd party sellers battery. It may be legit but I've been burned before from Amazon sellers (Amazon made good).
So I think this battery that I received is the VZW one, an EB595675LZ. My current battery is an EB595675LA.
Will I get the same performance from this one? Should I go thru the hassle of returning and getting the right one?

Here in Czech Republic, available is Samsung EB595675LU. It is bulk(not is individual bilster packing) seems to work as good as the one came with the phone. It is selling in local market for around 12 USD.
May be you can give it a try and see how does it perform. Hassle of sending it back and waiting for the other, depends on how long is your current battery performing.

Hello,
I'm looking for something like this to charge my spare battery, but I have few options since I'm outside USA. I've seen plenty of good options at amazon, but none which can be shipped to my country, and I don't trust "unbranded"/generic products related to battery because it can kill the battery life or, worst scenario, leak or explode.
My options are limited to ebay, DX or aliexpress (or any shop with cheap international shipping), can someone recomend me something (trustable) about U$10-U$15?
There are too many options but you are living outside United States. One thing you can do is go to amazon.com and find products......Of course you will have to do some research but you will find it....

LG has a battery charger but I don't believe they're selling it separately. I got it on pre-order and I will not sell it to you
Try something like that There's 3 different models on that page.
This store sales LG original parts: http://www.spareslg.com
Original battery is 18,11€ plus taxes, try email tham and ask for the charger.
that's an interesting question... so you have a spare battery for your phone? Why not just get a power bank, or something like that? THose must be more readily available than what you're looking for.
Been waiting for the s3 to come out but the price is in my view too steep (£599) so my plan was to get the T813 but it seems impossible to buy it in the UK except via Amazon. However i am reluctant to buy something this expensive from a 3rd party reseller there. Has anyone seen it sold by some more reputable seller?

I got mine Open Box on eBay for $50 less than the going rate at the time, however I saw no signs of it ever having been touched. Original factory seals were in place and it came with a 1 year parts and labor warranty, and a 60 day full refund policy both from the seller. It is now available from them for $319.99. I have had it for about four months and have never been happier with a tablet.
They shipped it immediately (free shipping) and I had it four days from the purchase date. If you are interested shoot me a PM and I will send you the info.

Thanks for the info. Can't find the store on eBay in the UK.
My main concerns about buying something like this from someone on ebay/amazing marketplace is that I'll be hung and dry if it is a problem with it.

I get that. I feel the same way, so I researched for a couple of weeks, reading feedbacks, comparing with other sales. The warranty and return policy they offer was a big selling point for me and they have a 99.7% positive feedback rating in 263396 feedbacks.
Purchased from argos
Just bought the s2 t813 from argos. Advertised as t810 but when checked in store it was the newer version. £339 if that helps.

I can't ship from Amazon for a replacement battery, mine's shutting off at 30% and B-Logs aren't cutting it anymore
Alibaba is an option but with the classical caveat, cheaper and possibly copies of aftermarket batteries on Amazon
The data on the stickers are identical. But all 4 EZ30 battery replacements come from 4 different companies of Shenzen Shengye (FIST, ifungtech, etc)

Are they the same in Amazon? Or simply not worth the risk?
I have used this on both N6. One is my daily and the other is my spare. These batteries appear to be original with date codes in 2015 and the Motorola emblem in the right place when I compared to the batteries I removed from my phones. The seller ships worldwide.

Can't express my gratitude enough for posting this, I am contacting the seller the now. That should confirmation enough on authenticity and a solution for shipping. I was honestly about to contact a friend in Canada in the hopes of him acting as an intermediary and mailing it to me
So I got one on amazon that was supposed to be new and a us warrantied model.
Turns out it's not a us model. Also the box wasn't sealed and Sony says that the warranty info says it would expire over a month prior to a year past my purchase date... indicating to them that it has been previously activated.
I noticed best buy occasionally has them refurbished with a 90 day geek squad warranty.
Any thoughts on which is the better option?
Thanks in adavance
I wouldn't buy a refurbished phone, but that's just me. Too bad you can't get the US version sold by Amazon anymore, and too bad that seller shafted you - looks like they are the only NEW seller on Amazon currently.
Do you have any international sellers in mind? Perhaps depending on the vendor, you could at least have some kind of return option for the worst case scenario of a DOA phone.
I hope you can get this all resolved. And partly because I'm hoping you'll share the exact steps you take to get root/fingerprint/t-mo all working on the phone so I can replicate it. Good luck.

I'm sort of leaning towards the international one, but i have my doubts that this one they sent me is new. I should have no problem flashing the modified firmware to keep the fingerprint sensor and enable wifi calling/vo-lte. I just worry about the battery lifespan mostly.
Regardless by the time I'm finished unlocking and rooting I won't be sending it in to sony for any repairs.

I would feel exactly the same. The battery unknown is a big reason why I would avoid refurbed phones. Even though you bought from a 3rd party on Amazon, you should have some protections from amazon, especially in the case where the item is not as described. Sounds like you have proof of that, so I would pursue trying to return that.
As far as where to get a replacement though, I'm not sure, unless you want to buy from a European supplier such as Clove.

Never heard of Clove. Pretty reputable? As long as exchange is good it should still come in under $400 us.
I've actually asked the amazon company if they would exchange for a sealed in box model or give me a discount since it wasn't as described. They have pretty good feedback, I just worry about the battery.
I recently got a brand new international model from Ebay.

I haven't personally used Clove, but they've been mentioned by XDA users over the years as a good source of unlocked phones. Or, like Dean says, there is always Ebay if you end up having to return your Amazon phone.

At least here in Germany the phones did not come sealed (we bought 3 phones so far) and the Warranty started at a date that was much earlier than our purchase date. Dropping an email to Sony fixed the problem
I'd get a new one, and it's not like region matters if you're planning to flash an international firmware to get the fingerprint sensor working anyway

You could buy a new one from Amazon Germany AND save some money. Then the fingerprint scanner will work out of the box.

This is a good find, but why you guys do not recommend buying used phones from Amazon? For example this one: Amazon.de blue xz1c.
I mean, the only concern would be the battery, right? Because there is no info about how much and for how long it has been used.
I am also looking for auctions on eBay.

Assuming I got a fair exchange rate it would still be right around $400 us for a new one. Even if shipping it here wasn't crazy expensive I'd still have to wait for it.
Hi,
My mother's A2 Lite battery swelled inside the phone, and the phone restarts anytime. Here in Brazil we don't have official Xiaomi support places, just lots of small stores where I can buy very inferior clone batteries, which don't hold the phone on for much time, just for some hours.
I think its very hard to know who is selling a authentic battery just based on the price. Do you know a seller who sells authentic BN47 batteries? Or how to import it straight from Xiaomi? I can't find it anywhere!

How can I be sure if the battery is original? We have a lot of online sellers here too. Don't get me wrong, but original parts are way harder to get in these sites.
The first seller in your eBay search is a trusted seller, however the battery seems too cheap to be original (EUR12.90)... I once bought some large sized SD Cards from trusted sellers, paying a reasonable amount of money and all the cards resulted fake. I got a refund after all, but I don't want to pass through this again.
I would even buy a more expensive one if I was assured the battery to be authentic. Maybe some personal recomendations would help.

Well, actually, it seems I bought a relatively cheap but good clone battery (at a physical store), at least for the first week... It is practically identical to the original one, but the seller assured it is a clone, but a "first line" one. Surprisingly, at the moment, it is performing better than my own 3 year original battery.
I will keep an eye in the performance and lifetime of this battery, if I see it's quickly degrading I will try to follow your advice.
PS: A warning for anyone willing to open the phone and change the battery: pay attention when opening the phone because there's a big chance of cutting the short small flat from the fingerprint sensor. Yeah, I damaged the phone's fingerprint sensor...
