Hi,
I'm from a Z2 user interested in Z3.
From what I understood, the china variant, L50T/U on the Z2 has a different phone dimension as compared to the international edition, L50W.
I want to buy a case for Z3 but all I mostly I found are for L55T/U. Just worried that I might get the wrong accessory for my Z3 due to dimensions.
Hope someone can clarify. Thank you.

I bought a Casemate case for my z3, it's a two in one case, exterior is made of hard plastic rubber stuff. Feels good to touch and interior is a silicon lining. For about 100zł ($25) i cant complain. It look decent and feels good to the hand.
Thanks guys. Anyway I know what's the difference already. The ports are slightly different so take note if buying cases from china (charging one). The china variant has their SD card with their charging port.

Hi! Thanks for sharing that
Are the battery and the charger completely equals to the original ?
Thanks for helping!
Thanks for the great post!
But... is the flip cover official? I don't recall N4 having any kind of official case, much less a flip one.

With original in this case I meant that is fully compatible with the device, maybe should I use other words in order to avoid ambiguity?

The charger is not the same because the original Nexus 4 charger is 1.2A, but it is an Original LG product, remember that even if the charger was 1.8A, the mobile phone will only require the Amperes that it needs to charge the battery, in this case it will require less than 1.8A.
And yes, the battery is original, more and more people (in the same website) over me are confirming that the battery is an original product
By original, you mean genuine ? Both made by LG ? Those are not Chinese copies ?
i don't want to harass with my question, simply be sure

Yes, I meant genuine. I bought some of these two months ago and to make sure they are good I brought them to an LG partner that confirmed that to me.
Many thanks!
"digitizer only" is cheap china copy for sure, controller chip is different than original

It depends on where you live. I live in Italy and it usually takes no longer than 3 weeks. Talking about reliability, you should trust only sellers that have a lot of positive feedbacks, the links that I posted are all related to trusted sellers from where I've already bought.
Hi
Where can i buy new motherboard for nexus 4?
thanks
So, what's about first screen in the topic? Is it same as genuine oem screen?
Avi, do you maybe want to sell your nexus or buy mine? Digitizer started do die on mine, 30% of screen is not responsive to touch and i cant find suitable replacment couse this e-bay screens obviously are not of same quality as originals. Id like to repair mine or sell it if i cant find affordable original replacment.
amelekhin - have you maybe found oem screen in meantime?
btw how bout this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Replace...624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a0db4898
Could this be original assembly?
To Ivan609
After couple of days of hard googling I have to admit there are no genuine screen assemblies in the Internet at all. I read some reviews from customers, looked at the photos in detail and I made a conclusion.
There are a lot of lies about replacement parts, sellers don't use their own photos, description doesn't match to reality, often screens don't work properly, and some places where you could buy assembly now say that it is out of stock.
So sad, but I have to refuse the idea of refreshing my N4.
I broken digitizer and my screen doesnt work correctly so i want to sell other working part. Someone want buy someting? Best price! Mainboard 16GB, cameras and other Ebay, allegro etc possible
thanks for the compilation

Hi, I had to buy the white phone, but I didnt like it. I want to get the original Xiaomi black battery cover.
I bought two from aliexpress, which were written 100% original. But they were fake and cheap quality.
They do not fit perfectly, shiny and leaves too much fingerprint on them.
Also they are grayish not black.
Does someone knows where to buy it?
Thanks for help
Aww bugger, I'm currently waiting on delivery of two of what I anticipate are the same covers. Sucks they are of such poor quality. Will keep an eye out for alternatives
I'm looking for the original cover from xiaomi too, there looks nice, but i can't find them ...
I think you can search in AliExpress web site, try the following link

I don't think they are original, because the seller offers more colors than xiaomi officially released.
http://www.vickmall.com/original-xiaomi-colorful-ice-back-cover-for-redmi-note-2.html
Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using XDA Free mobile app
http://is.gd/8ADX37
got the yellow one from there.
Have purchased from these sites
You can get accessories for Redmi Note 2 from
geekbuying.com , gearbest.com , everbuying.net , aliexpress.com and others
Out of these i have used geekbuying, gearbest and aliexpress and found the products sent by them to be genuine.
But it would be advisable to use paypal for payments, so that in case you receive a defective product or anything else, then you can raise an issue with paypal and get the refund.
Help for contents and box of "new" S4 Black Edition i9505. Is it new or refurbished?
Hi,
I've just bought online in UK a brand new Samsung S4 Black Edition i9505.
However in the box S/M/L sizes eargels are missing (but earbuds are ok and sealed) and the UK charger is a ETA0U70XBE with only 1A output instead of 2A and it's missing its film wrapping. I also noticed that the small seal was not well applied outside the box so it's not clear if the box was sealed or unsealed. I've also found finger prints on the front sticker/screen protector (but not on the screen) and on the camera lens. The metal-plastic terminal of the usb cable is also a little dirty (but comes with plastic wrapping).
OS installed is already 5.0.1 but I thought that S4 comes with 4.4 preinstalled. Or maybe it is due it was assembled recently? Battery was also completely empty.
And I also found this sticker that seal the outside of the box with strange letters: A, B ,C (see attachment). What do they mean?
I would like to know if someone else has similar experience or maybe they sent me a refurbished/open box?
It probably is a refurbished or returned phone.
The box should contain the phone, the USB charger and USB cable (black), in-ear headphones with replacement buds, a manual and I think that's it.
If the box has been tampered with, then I would worry more about the phone itself than the contents.
I also have a black edition (or so it says on the box).
Mine's got a leather-like back cover and the whole phone is pure dark black. The original model had a brighter black tone and it was spotted.
Hi,
thanks for the answer. The only thing missing are the replacement buds but also rest is suspicious as written above.
The charger for example had no plastic wrapping but most of all it's only a 1 amp model. How many amps has your charger? Which model? An EU model (long and slim) or a UK model (bulkier and short)? See attachments. Mine is a UK model but looks like an S3 charger which is slightly different from S4 charger and has only 1 amp output. Does anyone else got a 1 amp charger with its S4???
Mine's a 2.0 Amp EU model, black. It also had wrapping around it.
Did you get any warranty with the phone?

The seller said it has 2 year UK/European warranty but it had to say this because he's selling them as new. Of course I had the invoice but it's just a piece of paper printed from internet.
I found a new strange thing: as you can see in the first picture there is a EAN code on the sticker. I searched that code on Google and the result was: Samsung S2 (TWO!).
Does the EAN on your box match with Samsung S4 on Google?
I can't check because my box was sealed on 3 sides, and one of those seals had the number on it and it is now torn apart.
But I don't have any reason to believe it would correspond to anything other than an S4.
The phone was bought from one of the biggest electronics store in my country.

I checked some pictures of S4 boxes that I found on Youtube, reviews, Google and all the EAN on them match the ones of a S4! So probably the second seal (the one in the attachment of my first message) is a FAKE seal!!!
I found another strange thing: the protective plastic on the front of the S4 was the colored one of S4 white and black mist (see attachment). But on unboxing video on Youtube the Black Edition always have a transparent one!
Which one did you find?
I think that A,B,C has some mean to it.
A- IMEI remains on the box
B- Seller(Vender) keeps it with them so that non can complain whether or not it was steal product,in short security reason
C- Buyer get it stocked on warranty card/ Billl to claim for warranty.
Now that phone is old, it usually stays as was. Nothing to worry about as long as device is fully functional.

Thanks for the answer. But another problem with the seal was that there was printed a EAN of a Samsung S2 (TWO!) instead of one of a S4. So it was clearly a fake seal. And I've never saw in any unboxing photo or video a seal like that for Samsung S4. I also contacted Samsung UK which confirmed me that the phone was not in proper condition. They also checked the serial number of the device and told me that it was invalid! So it was a refurbished unit.
However I sent the phone back to the seller and received a full refund. Last week I bought a new S4 Black Mist from another seller and this one is perfect. New, sealed (seal with a S4 EAN on it) and with all accessories and plastic wrappings. The OS installed is still Android 4 as expected and not already 5. And a 2A charger. It works very well. :good:
How much did you pay? If it was a good price then ignore the fact it's not new. My S4 was second hand, and I specifically chose it for that reason.

I paid it 267 euro with shipping. Too much for a used one with missing parts and the wrong charger (only 1A instead of 2A). So I sent it back to the seller.
For the one I bought last week I paid 275 euro with shipping but it's new and sealed (with all accessories and a 2A charger which 2 times faster than a 1A one).

Oh wow, yes that is a lot for a used one. I paid £120 for mine last February. It's in pretty good condition (only a few marks on the silver bezel, no scratches on the screen) but it came only with a single generic charger, and a crappy USB cable. No headset or anything, but I wasn't overly bothered because the phone itself is where the money goes and £120 for an S4 is a bargain, even today. 267 Euro's is over £205, which is absolutely top money, even for a brand new model, so to be told it was used, I would be sending it back tbh.

And most of all the seller was selling it as "new". I even emailed him before buying to be sure and he answered it was new and sealed... And the one he sent me had missing parts and a S3 charger (with only 1A output)!
Anyway 275 euro for the one I bought last week from a different seller is a good price for a really new and sealed S4. It is still a very good mid-range device. I was also considering a Samsung A3-310-2016 which came out in January this year for 240 euro with shipping but the S4 has still better specs and a huge XDA and custom rom support!

It's an extremely good mid-range device. The way I like to look at it, is like this:
You can see from my phone history (in my signature), that I go from an i9000 to an LG N4 to a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, which is quite a deviation. The i9000 was a premium device at the time and it felt like one. The N4 was a premium device and it really really felt like one (and still does to this day). The Xiaomi was a great phone, but you could tell it was manufactured for the Indian market. It wasn't that it was cheaply made. I actually think Xiaomi are quite nicely made, it was the fact there was never any commitment to updates. Getting Lollipop was a bit like playing a game of roulette. Are they going to get it? Who knows? Kind of thing..... eventually some devs ported it, but rather than the 100's that work on Samsung and the Nexus devices, there were a few kids in their bedrooms doing it. I simply didn't have time to get stuck into any ROM development at that point in time either. The Xiaomi was let down by the lack of devs, the poor camera and the general unreliability of updates and software fixes etc.
So here's the point I'm making. You can own a brand new Xiaomi, which for the money seems decent and performs okay and stuff and yeah, they're decent enough phones, if you're going for a new model....
OR, you can get yourself a second hand S4, which will blow away the majority of Xiaomi phones because here's the thing. It's not just about specs on paper. The camera destroys the Xiaomi camera's, the screen destroys the majority of Xiaomi screens and the fact there are 100's of devs knocking out great ROM's means this phone will last a lot longer than the Xiaomi ones ever will.
My modus operandi has now changed. I will never buy a new device again. Every 2 years, I will buy a last gen Samsung (or other brand) device when they become cheap and enjoy all the benefits of XDA devs and what not

Hi. Like many, I bought a Chinese version of Mate 9 (MHA-AL00) because it has superior specs. Unfortunately, the phone was dropped and I now have a small crack in screen and scratch on bottom side near speakers. What is the best way to get this repaired? Is there any place in the US that will service this phone? I contacted Huawei in US and they won't touch it. I asked if they could order the parts and have it fixed. I will pay for it and they said the phone is too different for them to repair. The reasoning escapes me here... Any help here would be appreciated! Thanks!

Do you want your phone fixed, or have genuine parts? I've not seen genuine Huawei parts outside an authorized Huawei repair shop. My replacement screen works though and looks mostly like the original did. Outer frame can be found there as well probably, but I haven't looked yet.

Well, both actually! I want the phone fixed using genuine parts. Currently a Chinese friend is kindly contacting Huawei in China to see if I can mail it to an authorized repair shop there. Unfortunately Huawei US won't touch my phone. I don't understand why Huawei US can't just order the parts from China and fix it for me in US. I can't believe the variants are that different structurally and I'm willing to pay the cost.

Different region have different policy for their phone if there no different why they need to be sell on different model and version as International or Chinese / Asia / Europe. When you buy the chinese version you should know it will not cover any warranty beside Huawei china. Yea because you save few dollars for buying the chinese version and you want to enjoy the full international version benefit? You get what you pay is that hard to understand?

Hi. I think the misunderstanding is on your part. I bought the Chinese version because it has better specs than the one one sold in US. More ram and more memory. Better meets my needs. Not because it is cheaper. Btw, it was more expensive. Second, I fully understand that warranty does not cover Chinese version outside of China. I have been in contact with merchant that sold phone and they can send it to have it repaired by manufacturer. Just want to avoid having to send phone back to China. Would prefer to have official parts mailed to me and have repaired here in US. But to be clear, I am not asking for repair that is covered by warranty. I am asking about a repair that I will fully pay for. Is that hard to understand?

Hi. Your question is the point of this thread! Hopefully we will have an answer we are happy with. I'm still checking on possibilities. I originally bought my phone from Geekbuying. They have offered to send it back to manufacturer for repairs. So you might consider contacting the merchant you bought it from. I am still waiting to hear from my Chinese friend. Once I know more I'll post what I learned.
