Replacement battery

I found this on ebay. Its not a bad price for a replacement battery and rear cover.
How hard do you think it is to fit?

that is just a replacement of the back cover, not a replacement for the battery

No battery, that's just for the cover.
It's not user swappable, so probably count for it taking an hour your first time.

my bad lol i guess it is a solution for replacing a scratched camera cover

How hard was it to replace the cover itself? It kinda envelops the unit, so did you have to bend it much?

Where to buy full original housing?

Anyone knows where to buy the full original housing? I've tried ebay but so far there is only white, blue and red. I would like brown coloured ones actually but if there is any color available except those 3 would be worth considering too. Thanks guys

Im having the same question, I want a black housing... Anyone can help?

Thanks for the reply, but they dont have other colors except blue and white unfortunately.

yes they do, they have the titanium grey and the sapphire black and the red as well. they have the battery covers to go along wqith it as well except for the black i think. those whole screen units you see for 269 come with basically the whole front piece of the phone which also include the bezel. you can use your existing interior black peice which houses the battery and just replace battery cover with matching screen digitizer combo

Grrr that site NEVER loads the pictures in a search and I don't have time to load EVERY SINGLE PAGE just to see what stuff looks like
Grrrr

do you have to replace the digitizer and screen as well? wouldn't front cover, back cover, buttons and frame be enough to change the overall look? Thanks

No ... You're going to ruin it ...

Please help. I had crack on my glass and i need to repair it. I heard that you could change touch only with lcd. Can you show me the photo who look original lcd + touch.
I want to buy one on ebay but I afraid of fake...

I haven't heard of anybody who managed to separate digitiser and LCD.
Check the broken screen threads.

I can't find any good way to solve. for now all i need is to find original lcd with touch. What you think? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ORIG...CH-Full-Assembly-Free-Shipping/566028279.html

Turning black galaxy s2 into white

I've been a while wanting to transform my black galaxy into a white one. I've been reading a lot of posts and I can see that the main problem is that it's pretty difficult to change the frontal screen into white, cause if you change that part the screen is going to break, And of course, buying a white full screen is insane cause it's just too expensive. However, I've seen a screen for 8 dollars in ebay (apparently it's not just the frontal, it's the full screen) and I would like you guys to tell me if you would recommend this screen:
"White LCD Touch Digitizer Screen Assembly Display For Samsung Galaxy S 2 i9100" en ebay.com

It's way too much trouble. If you want to change the phone to white, you might as well buy a white GSII. If you change screen, you'll need the chrome bezel-ed frame as well.(black screen has a black frame). Then you'll need a new white housing. I wonder how many internal hardware components will break in the process?

Or you could make it black and white. Mine was originally black. All I did was change the back housing to white, and viola. All for just 12 bucks on ebay. I want some uniqueness in the World of monotonic black and white, red and pink S2s. A certain combination. Mine is a 2000Mah setup so it'll appear thicker because of the supplied battery cover.
(Also in my sig, but I uploaded higher res pics + more of them.)
Good luck.

I opted for an all aluminium-glass-carbon fiber appearance and feel for my black GS2. It feels like a completely different phone!

That is one good looking s2 man were did you get that???
MS1 Neatrom 4.4 Jeboo 4.x +

It's a normal Galaxy S2 with a Sweet-armor and some carbon fiber 3M Di-Noc cut to size on the battery cover.

The "chrome bezel" bit is part of the metal plate that the lcd is glued to.
Take your phone to Charlie from Boyd Coddington (American Hot Rod).He could spray it any colour you want.

I think it doesn't look that great with the back covering in black and the front part in white . Anyways I think the screen was good and I've just made a mistake. I think there was an error, and the screen costs now 86$. I should have bought it U_u

There was no error; $86 seems like a much more appropriate price for a GS2 AMOLED panel. You can buy the glass separately, and install it separately, although it is highly recommended that you don't. And do you mean front part in black and back part in white?

The chrome bezel is actually made of black plastic painted using chrome paint.

Yes, but it is in fact attached (molded) to a metal frame (looks like a magnesium alloy) which is a midsection of the device...

I've an image captured when it cost 8$. They've just changed it.

So you changed the front screen to white and the back to black? Or are you saying I made my S2 uglier than usual with the black in front and the white behind? haha I thought the black will blend with the screen well enough at certain angles. I don't like white front phones either, since screens are usually bluish black. I can't imagine what it'll look like with a white front and a black back.
Anyway for those wondering whether if the camera and vibrator modules are stucked on to it permanently, no they are just held with a piece of tape to the assembly and it's easy to pry them apart with a pair of tweezers with careful handling.
This 30 minute highly detailed and carefully explained, about disassembling the S2 should do it. Good luck.

When I tried to pry out my vibrator module, the screwdriver stabbed into it lol

hey buddy as your signature says "SanDisk 64GB
Class 10 MicroSDXC" is this true?
coz I thought that GT-I9100 only supports 32GB of expendible storage

Yeah, it might be a bit bulkier, but it feels like much more of a phone, if you know what I mean. From the top of my head, the S2 weighs 116g, and my S2 with case and battery and all weighs about 158g. It is much heavier, but I like it.

It is true; officially, the Galaxy S2 only supports up to 32 GB, but that's because SDXC cards are formatted using exFAT by default. If you format it using FAT32, then you're good to go.

You can always buy those colored screen protectors.. I dont know what they're called. They're very cheap too. Just change the back to white and buy one of these for the front

Broken LCD?

Hello Guys.
I dropped my phone today and when I lifted it up my screen was blue/black. I pulled the battery out and turned it on. Most of the screen is black and can't see anything. There are strips of blue pixels here and there.
What exactly is broken and what do i need to replace. I obviously need to replace the Glass frame/screen, LCD ... do I need to replace the digitizer as well?
If anyone knows about this please help me out.

As long as I know any T999 i535 I747 will be compatible except I9300. I dont know why but some T999 users havd problems.
Is a good deal indeed. But If you can find some with frame includes will ve a very sweet deal.

I know sound expensive but you only will have to change the mainboard and components very easy without any need of stick or glue to install it on the frame.

Yes, the only concern I have is the glue used to join the frame with the screen, if isn't professional installed this will be falling soon or getting dust an sand under the screen. Thats why I recommend the entire frame and screen set...

Unfortunately I don't have that money right now so I will settle with the cheaper method. I will try and see how it goes.
