Does anyone know where I might be able to source one of these, preferably in white? I've tried all the usual sites like eBay, Amazon, CL, etc. If someone has one lying around they can sell me please PM thanks!
Samsung OEM is possible but very unlikely as to my knowledge Samsung Electric Corporation no long produces parts or accessories for the Note 4.
You would have to search for them online and get them from a online retaler. As Samsung has stopped selling accessories for the Note 4 years ago. If you try eBay or Amazon, I would recommend that you research the seller before pulling the trigger on your purchase.

Anyone?
Wish I could tell you. I've preordered the "charging system" back on May 1st. Now, I'm getting told that it could be shipped between June 6th - August Something. Googling showed some on sale from some other forums, but I can't tell you if it's safe or not. Meanwhile, you can either ride it out with Amazon, or check your cell provider to see if they're offering it as an accessory.
I would say Samsung's website, but it looks like they are on backorder.
The S4 uses the same charger as the Note 2 so I just ordered a couple of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BD6XTDK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can trust etradesupply. Takes a few days to get to you, but worth the wait. I have ordered from them a few times and have gotten quality OEM replacements.

I'd like to choose witrigs.com. I saw that the page of the USB board provides much information including product details and repair guide. I prefer the website like this.
You can see the page OEM Charging Port Flex Cable for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Also i heard that the USB connector is soldered on the logic board, so it's difficult to replace. You may need the whole USB board, it's easier.

Witrigs is reliable. I contacted them by email and they responded within the same day. They let me know that there are currently no coupon codes, and that my item has shipped. The company is fairly new but they are on top of the game just as etradesupply is.
What i like about witrigs is that they explained why it is important to know which version of a part is needed for the Galaxy S4, as there are different models. The galaxy s4 camera are different across all models. If you buy the wrong one it won't work. Witrigs has videos and pictures explaining this on their site.
Etradesupply does not have the cameras that i needed in stock. They also are more expensive. And they did not let me know on their site that i need the certain camera for specific models of the S4.
I received my part in about 2 weeks. It came from China.
So I've seen many threads concerning ebay+batteries = fake. I'd like to ask you guys where you get the not-so-fake batteries from (online). I've seen a couple of places that sell the (supposedly) original ones (A-Grade?) along with another listing for the fake ones which they call 'wholesale' or R-Grade (not sure what the R is for).
I want to know if there are any trusted sources to get an original battery. Tried calling the dealers in my country and they said that they don't issue phone 'parts' unless it's given for repairs.
so yeah,. where do you guys get your batteries from?

If you want to guarantee your battery is OEM than you need to buy it from either your local carrier store, Samsung, or a big box retailer like Best Buy. However, if you do not mind the extra bulk I cannot make a higher recommendation for a Zerolemon Battery/Case. I would link it, but I am a newer user and cannot post links. It is easy to find on Amazon and the price is great at $41.99.

Here is a review of the battery from this same forum.

I buy direct from Amazon. In my case amazon.ca.
I work at a busy cell/computer repair shop so we wind up ordering 10+ batteries out per device at a time since you never know when a dozen iphones may come in. We pull our parts from Mengtor and Global Direct Parts.
As far as personal opinion goes, Mengtor parts are generally junk for new(ish) phones. Until it's been out for a year, at least, we pass on any mengtor orders even if we save a decent amount simply because returns are highly frowned upon by us and customers (obviously, who wants to bring their phone back again?). However, After a year, or even two of parts being revised and worked on we migrate over from GDP to Mengtor since the warranty process for faulty parts we order goes through faster and they've worked out the kinks in their junk by then.
Global Direct Parts on the other hand, have never let me down. Sure we've ordered junk parts that are dead on arrival but for the most part they are our main supplier for all, excluding iphone 4/4s and prior iphones (due to well, being over a year old and the previous issues are taken care of).
The cost on GDP right now for you would be 22.89 for a battery on an S4 for Verizon (Here to link)
Our cost is about 15-18$ depending on if they are pushing stock for new orders to their warehouse or willing to hold onto it. Warranty process has always been excellent as well for when we get a bunk battery, or other part. Also, they generally offer OEM and aftermarket parts depending on which you want. The link goes to an OEM variant. Hope this helps!

OEM from Amazon I believe is good.
can't go wrong with OEM
Either amazon or preferably the Samsung store.
I bought ones of these, $8.75 & free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LX02I92/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've always had good experiences with Anker. They're also available on Amazon, and unlike several of the knockoffs, they guarantee NFC compatibility if they list it.
If u can find a way of shipping items from china's tmall to ur place, they do hv authentic batteries from samsung's factories in china, with the retail packaging and all. It is a cheap option if u can find a way to save on shipping.
If not, I would just get anker batteries as they are reliable.

How about the duration of "non original" batteries. A friend of mine has purchase a couple of them at Amazon and the duration is lower than the original.

I bought mine from Amazon and using some service to ship it to my country, Anker 7800mAh, to be specific. Works like a charm.
I just got an anker 2600mah battery from a local seller. Works great. Will see how long it lasts. My zerolemon lasted around 8 months.

U could find any online seller that has the real deal for a cheaper price if u know how to spot fakes. Otherwise, if u really have to get the samsung one, u gotta pay more to buy it off the official retail stores.
As much as I hate paying Samsung for their horribly overpriced accessories, batteries included, I did end up buying my spare battery from Samsung, but I waited until they had a 50% off accessories sale. I wasn't in a rush, so I just waited until a sale came up. Call it a compromise.
I buy an original samsung battery from aliexpress.com
Hello i want to buy original (OEM) Nexus 4 LCD + Digitizer, Digitizer and Battery. There are so many replicas on internet but i want to buy original replacement parts please help me.
Hi! I'd like to buy an OEM screen assembled too.. But it seems so hard to find a good and reliable seller. All one I saw were selling screen with some issues with the LED notification part. And the OEM lcd on etradesupply has been out of stock for months. Besides I considered 140$ for a genuine one on lg spares.com as too high, when a lg g4 is about 350$ or 150 for a moto X (2nd generation). But I would prefer keep my nexus 4 which is still fully functional and whose screen size is rather perfect..
If someone has bought a great screen recently, please share us where do you buy it
Here is an european supplier of OEM parts:
http://stellatech.com/articles.php?cid=10618
And here is an asian one (the products marked "grade A" are the OEM ones):
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/lg-n...reen-battery-parts/lg-nexus-4-e960-parts.html
Was gonna offer to sell you one but you can buy one here http://www.fonejoy.com/lg/nexus-4/l...-4-lcd-digitizer-touchscreen-acq86270901.html
I know these are 100% original, have used this company many times they only sell new, genuine parts.
Thanks for your suggetions
If you're on europe, or just don't mind to handle the shipping cost , this site is a good option and the parts don't look like some chinese copy.
At the prices mentionned on the websites given above (>=100euros) , better buy a used nexus 4.
Amazon is a pretty good place to go. Most of the other websites ship from China or HK and take forever. I had to get a battery and USB board, I got both from Amazon and they were both eligible for Prime, they both shipped from the USA too.
Anybody knows where to get an OEM digitizer + frame these days? Below 100$/€?

It's hard to get OEM parts for mako now. you can get a entire Nexus 4 phone for ~70$ on amazon.

I haven't had much luck with after market batteries. I bought several off eBay, and have also bought off Amazon, and none of them worked as well as the original OEM. The OEM battery is hold and doesn't hold much of a charge, and I found zero improvement with the after market fake ones.
The only place I can find an OEM battery is from here for $33.10: https://www.samsungparts.com/GH43-04419C-BATTERY.html?oldpart=GH43-04419A
But Mobile Defenders sells them for much cheaper ($5.99-$8.99): https://www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=samsung+s6+battery
I just want to know about Mobile Defender's quality. Am I just going to get the exact same issues as all the other fake batteries? Or should I just stick with OEM? The other question I have is, is "samsungparts.com" an actual Samsung website? It's not samsung.com, and that is why I am asking. Plus, when I talk to Samsung in the chat (from samsung.com), they tell me they don't sell the S6 batteries and I have to go to an "authorized repair center." But the repair centers (Ufixit) want to charge $99 when I already have the back off and I can replace it myself.

Samsung parts is the official Samsung partner to sell phone parts and you'll get original Samsung parts but they are not Samsung directly as they don't sell directly parts to customers
I think what I may do is buy the Mophie Juice pack instead. It's at Walmart for about $20. I don't know what battery life on the S6 is like new, since I got the phone used at about 2 years old. But from what I'm reading, is that it really sucked in the first place. So a battery pack may be my best bet.
samsung s6 battery
If you want to buy original Battery then go for samsungparts. Otherwise, find more s6 battery suppliers like mobilesentrix and others, compare price and features so it will help you to buy a good quality battery.
