Will the batteries for the i9505 work in the i337?
All of the stats look the same, but they have different model numbers, so I was just curious if it mattered.
Thanks!
Most likely yes given that my att og galaxy note shared the same batt as the international model. But either way you might want to check thoroughly. Are you asking because you found a better price on the international version? Please tell!

As per the subject, I have a Canadian (Bell) Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M) and, upon checking my battery, it shows a model of B600BU, a capacity of 2600 mAh, and NFC capability.
A search of the Internet with the keyword "B600BU" has only returned a few unofficial replacement batteries with, unfortunately, no information on this specific Samsung battery model.
While searching XDA, I noticed that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 SGH-I337 forum has a subdirectory for accessories which re-directs to Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505 > Galaxy S 4 Accessories; so, am I right to assume that any I9500 / I9505 battery may be used with my SGS4 model (SGH-I337M)?
On a related note, there is an official Samsung battery kit which includes both a charger and spare battery that I am interested in purchasing. A quick search has found two websites which ship to Canada:
=====
EB-K600BUWESTA
EF-K600BEWEG
=====
Oddly enough, both of the above-mentioned battery chargers have similar; but, different model numbers. The "K600B" is common between them; although, an Internet search of this keyword has found nothing to help me sort this out.
Anyone able to help me clear this up? I would rather know before ordering any battery accessories online...
Anyone have any information on the SGH-I337M (Canadian Samsung Galaxy S4) battery?
Wow! Still no replies...?!
Either way, I figured I would do my part to help out my fellow Canadians with a SGH-I337M in locating a battery charger kit and/or spare battery for their phones.
After performing yet another Internet search, I found the following battery charger kit and spare battery which has a Canadian model listed:
=====
EB-K600BUWEGCA
EB-B600BUBECCA
=====
NOTE: The model may not matter; but, I would personally rather have an exact match.
Anyway, hope this helps...

The battery for the european model galaxy s 4 battery will work on the canadian models. I am using one in my telus galaxy s 4.the model onthe battery says GB/T18287-2000 with NFC and it is made in Japan.
I to would like to know for sure if i337 and i9500 batteries are compatible with the the i337m
I want to buy an OEM battery with charger off eBay for 34$ but wanna make sure it will work first
Im going to buy a Galaxy S4 full price. I noticed Tmobile has dropped it down to $579 for the M919 model. But I also noticed on amazon I can get the unlocked S4 I9505 for around $600
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00BV1NKCW/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Is there any downfall in performance or network compatibility issues with getting an unlocked phone vs using a phone that is already set to work with that provider ?
I'm with Tmobile but I leave the country about twice a year. That's why I was looking at the GT-19500 on amazon. Is it also a better phone in general compared to the M919 ? what would I be gaining or losing by getting the M919 other than the factory unlocked feature already there from Samsung.
I have had both. There is way more development for the M919 because it can use any I9505 rom or any other carrier's rom as well. The google ROM was ported over before the official device was even shipping from the play store lol. The i9500 has some potential but has hit some brick walls in development. The M919 can be unlocked for free on here, making it as versatile as the I9500 in terms of global use.

Hy! You say that i can put on my m919 any Samsung galaxy S4 official roms?
I've got a Canadian i337m and hardware wise is the same as m919 and i9505. I use Intl ROMs and tmo ROMs only cause all the ROMs in my forum are for crappy at&t phones with all their hacked up crap. That forum is a joke!
Hello, I recently found a phone on Kajiji because I am leaving soon and needed it since my old one broke. Usualy I order my phones off Hi-moible. He told me it was unlocked so I assumed it was the international version,. I ended up with a 1337m, I am dissapointed since alot of the roms are only for that model. I was wondering as to why this is the case arent both phones identical in terms of hardware? How do you convert one to the other ?

That would be the Canadian Model. I believe if its unlocked it should still work, and the international Model is the one that actually has the least customization in terms of ROMS i believe mostly because of the Exynos processor. The I337M is the Snapdragon model which is the same Hardware as the US models. I use an I337M and load AT&T and T-Mobile roms all the time. Just make sure you choose T-Mobile Kernels for your device if using custom ROMS that arent T-Mobile based.

This phone the I9505 Why can i not use roms from this thread ?
I dont understand its unlocked and its the same phone what is the actual complication ?
Hi, so this may sound like a stupid question, but I have searched and searched via google even, and I don't know if im searching the terms incorrectly, or getting incorrect information...
I want to buy a Carrier-Free, Bloatware Free Galaxy S4 (Or 5 when it comes out, or even an HTC One)
I want to use it on AT&T GoPhone with LTE.
I see the different variants only working with AT&T 2G/3G or only H+, or only LTE.
When looking for a bloatware, and carrier free S4, what model should I be looking at?
Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you live in the US since you are talking about AT&T LTE , Only possible answer i can get for you is to get the i9505 (No contract) & then rooting it and removing all the bloatware you do not like.
i9500 does not have LTE therefore i9505 is the most suitable for you
Alternatively You can get i9505 and install a custom rom which basically removes much of the unwanted apps & even then if you want to remove some more bloatware you can always do that.
You will get full and better support in this XDA forum 100% dedicated to AT&T Galaxy S4.

Unfortunately, that's not what I'm looking for. I am not looking for the AT&T variant of the s4, since I would like a carrier free phone. Hence why I was posting in this forum and not the AT&T.

So the i9505 is an unlocked version? Do the unlocked phones also come with bloatware?

I think every S4 is coming with bloatware. Root and remove the bloatware is the only way to get rid of it.
What do you mean with unlocked? The bootloader? In this case you have to look for a I-9505 with android 4.2.2 and firmware older than mh5. (Germany) every newer firmware has a locked bootloader.
Now that my phone is out of warranty, it's time to root it. I want to make sure I get the right stock-based ROM for it. There are 3 variants, according to another thread in this forum: Galaxy S4 LTE-A SK (SHV-E330S, ks01lteskt), Galaxy S4 LTE-A KT (SHV-E330K, ks01ltektt) and Galaxy S4 LTE + International (GT-I9506, ks01lte). How can I find which is the one I have? I bought the phone in Greece. I can't find anything I distinctive on the box or in the battery compartment. The Samsung label on the box and inside the phone just say GT-i9506. Since I've never seen all the variants, I can't tell if that is all the information I need to know and, thus, ks01lte is what is appropriate.

ROMs are generally unified. So, unless the other models have some slight hardware differences, it should work regardless.
But booting into download mode should show you the exact model.
