[Q]About Hardware and all(S2).(planning to buy) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, right now i have a SGS i9000. but im planning to buy a SGS II i9100 which someone sells it for 290$(converted already to our rate which is actually 12,000PHP on us).. i sell my SGS to my classmate for 240$ (which is 10,000PHP for us).
**what i want to know is how will i know if the device(that im going to buy) was not repaired or changed its hardware before? and i see that there are some Fake android phones out there. but the original ones have samsung sticker and NTC seal on the back of the phone and the NTC is around where the battery is.***
when im gonna buy it, ill make sure that it can be connect to Google Play, and has similarly with my phone, and connects to pc, and if the phone is properly working with Odin3.
It's just odd that it's quite cheap. because most people sells their SGSII 2nd hand for like 360~480$(converted on our rate).
thanks a lot for the help!

help plox?? TIA

[Q] Where to buy Samsung Galaxy S II in Europe (Spain)

This might be an odd question in a wrong forum but I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask it!
My sister studies in Spain and she's going to return home 3 weeks from now.
I have the fabulous SGS and wanted to upgrade to SGS II and since SGS II won't be available in out country anytime soon, I thought it would be better if my sister bought it for me there.
I want my phone to be equipped with SAMOLED+ screen and the Exynos chipset. I don't really care about NFC.
The thing is I Googled but I didn't come across any retailer that distribute in Spain, and frankly I don't know how thing work over there.
I even looked for online shops but since I don't really know about any of them, I wasn't so lucky and in fact there are quite a lot of them and I don't really know which one is better!
She could order one online but there is another problem. Since my sister is not a citizen in there, she said she could get back the VAT tax on her way back if there was a proof of purchase for the product. However I don't know if she could do the same thing if the product was ordered online.
So I'm totally lost and don't know what my options are...
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out here.
Thanks a lot in advance

Bell Galaxy s2 LTE HD SGH-I757m, Battery Compatibly

Hello everyone, I`m in need of a backup battery for my Bell Galaxy s2 LTE HD. I can't seem to find any for this phone online, was hoping if anyone knew of any battery that is compatible. My Galaxy s2 LTE HD model is SGH-I757m
You can always buy a generic Samsung battery directly from Bell at their website. Just click Samsung and then your phone's name.
The price probably won't be competitive, but it's there if you cant find it anywhere else.
So thats our only option, i must say i do like this phone, but thiers no market or support for it, wich blows, i regret getting it
Found one 21.79 alot cheaper then what bell wants, here link for anyone whos looking http://www.batterybuyer.com/battery...galaxy-skyrocket-galaxy-skyrocket-p-7277.html
I'm looking for a replacement battery for my SGH-i757M. Looks like the model on the back of the battery is EB585157VA. I was not able to find any for sale, however, I found the EB585157VK. Specs are identical. Do you know if it will work with my phone? Any other suggestions on where I can purchase a replacement battery?

Buying a new galaxy note and needing your expertise!

Hi! as some of you might know i had problems with my past samsung galaxy note i717, so i returned it. was a bad experience but i'm in loved with the cellphone and i don't wanna make mistakes twice.
I'm trying to buy a new one through ebay, and i want it closer to new.
so i found the "seller refurbished"
and i found as "new" a "floor demo model"
and another one listed as new but without it plastics but under samsung warranty.
What would u guys recommend? and what does "floor-demo model" means?
would you recommend me buying the i717 or the note II? (i read is the same thing... just for the screen)
thanks

"Refurbished" is one that was returned, checked over, corrected, and sent back out. Usually has a warrenty.
"New Floor Demo" was probably a device on display at a retail outlet. While it can be classified as "new" since no one ever bought it, it probably has the most use. Everyone and their mother touched it.
"New w/o plastic + warrenty" was probably bought, opened, tested, and put back in the box. I would only worry that the warrenty wouldn't transfer if it has already been registered.
Now to the Note I v. Note II: they are definetly not the same device. Pretty much every factor and spec is different. Dual-core S3 v. Quad-core exynos, 1gb ram v. 2gb ram, 1280x800 v. 1280x720, 5.3" v. 5.5", Android 4.0.4 v. Android 4.1... they list goes on.
If it were me, I wouod buy the Note II if the funds were available. It really is quite pricey. Subsidized would be a different story. I would read reviews on both. Make the decision. One is older but still more than capable. The other is brand new and currently sitting on top of the cell phone mountain.

Is the phone still manufactured?

Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II
There are vendors selling the phone as new. Is the phone still being manufactored? Can you tell how old a phone is, not relying on pieces of information from a seller?

No the phone isn't being manufactured anymore.
The phone the seller is selling may be new, but it was stored for a long time and wasn't used before.
