Anyone knows how I can tell the difference between a genuine and fake S8 battery?
I bought one off ebay that has 2018 as it's manufacturing year. Is this possible? The batteries on all the teardown video's I've seen on youtube say 2017 so I'm thinking maybe samsung didn't manufacture any in 2018. Is this true?
Nobody knows?

Anyone know a good source of new genuine Samsung batteries in the UK or Europe preferably, for the Omnia 7.
Samsung in the UK do not seem to be able to supply a new one, which I find completely amazing (how do they cover warranty repairs ?) and I can only seem to find 14 day return items on e-bay or similar, which are not very new !!!!! I was sold a battery which was 18 months old....
It is possible to buy new branded items, but I would prefer a genuine new item....
The batteries are dated so it's easy to tell how old they are.....
Thanks

Hi.
My touchscreen is broken, so I have to replace it.
I am looking for a genuine part to buy through ebay or similar. I have seen a lot of sellers claiming to sell a genuine part, but since I heard about many cases of the so-called "genuine" screen that turn out to be a good quality fake, I am looking for feedback from people who have bought a screen and received a good item.
My only limitation is that I need to buy from a seller who can ship internationally - I am from Israel.
Thanks a lot.
http://www.spareslg.com/ They seem to sell the real thing, but they're more pricey. Never actually used them, but they claim to sell genuine service packs.
Omg nice prices, i waiting order from aliexpress completly LCD and digitizer and frame 48$

Buy from LG....only way to be sure.
new sells in my country for almost as much as people selling their used.
ive looked on ebay but looking at feedbacks, im certain the phones being sold as new are refurbished.
I bought my current v20 as new and got refurbished. after a year when the warranty was over the screen has MASSIVE bleeding and ghosting on it.
looking for a good source -unlocked INTL version.
I want the phone because I love the camera (unfortunately both my cameras no longer work because the glass cracked and over the time has had damage) and I need a phone with swappable batteries.
last question. once I gtet the phone I want to make sure my phone has an original screen. is there clear markings that I can verify the screen is OEM?
any help appreciated.

Import 1 from Korea, or a country that regularly import and sell Korean phones on the secondary market (i.e. Philippines/Vietnam/etc..), but even then they might just be refurbished. The phone stopped manufacturing over a year ago, its also nearly 3 years old, you'd be hard pressed to find a new legit BNIB V20

my worry is that the parts inside are genuine and swapped for aftermarket garbage. mine has an aftermarket screen. I didnt know that when I bought it. it has tons of ghosting and bleeding.
oe screen is higher quality for sure.

98.3 out of 45000 reviews on eBay is excellent, I got good deals from him.
I paid $225 for the near mint silver H910 in Oct of 2017
And $200 for the 3 others in excellent condition a couple months later
I don't think you'll find a New / Mint v20 for any cheaper from a reputable dealer.

So seeing all of the people with s8 problems and GPS I can tell you that my S8U1 model is working flawlessly. I have the August update. Now here is the thing about my journey. I had a sprint s8 which was garbage. The motherboard died in about June with mmc issues so what I did was order a replacement motherboard and rear glass. I ordered the unlocked U1 motherboard from Russia which was ironically purchased in the US direct from Samsung.
It was a simple drop in replacement. I swapped the camera lenses and sensor bezel from the original glass instead of using the Chinese one that came with the back glass. (Pro tip)
I got the replacement board for 50$ shipped off ebay.
While in the phone I also replaced the battery with a higher output battery I got for 12 bucks off amazon.
NOW that being said, I want to reinvest a bit more time into this phone and get it rooted. It's been quite a few years since I've been in the rooting game and I want to know what the current pitfalls are and is the U1 easier to root?
