Need a replacement LCD for your T Mobile Dash?

Check out LCD4PDA who is one of the best sellers on e bay. He's helped me a few times in a crunch with some screens I've replaced.
Because of me sharing my gratitude in this thread here,
he's decided to lookout for all of us and provide us a discount on these LCD screen replacement units he sells on Ebay. He usually has them in large quantities so getting the one you want should not be a problem. He sells screens for other models as well so if you're looking for a different phone's LCD, check his other auctions or email him directly for that. The discount also applies to other model screens as well.
Feel free to enter this code after you purchase your screen unit:
Promo code: Promo_tiguy99
Discount: $4 shipping fee refund
Valid through 01/01/2008
Email him after the auction is over and let him know you want the shipping discount.
T mobile Dash screens usually sell about 40, shipping is around 10-12 dollars so with the discount you should be getting the lowest price on Ebay since the average LCD price is about 5-10 more than his plus you get it in 2-3 days vs ordering them from Hong Kong which can take a week or longer to arrive.
I don't any get credit or anything like that for this. I put in the effort to promote this so people here looking to replace their LCD screens can benefit!
Hopefully you should never have to replace your LCD screen but if you do at least you now have a connection and one of the best customer service experiences you can have as well.
Enjoy!

coooooooool

I just bought one from them. It was shipped very quickly with tools and color instructions. Dash is as good as new.

Sweet! I'm glad everyone's having a good experience with them. Their customer service is superb. I had a technical issue that other sellers/companies would shy away from but LCD4PDA walked me through it and even went as far as helping me with a replacement which I got very fast.
They took a bad situation (cracked LCD) and made it very pleasant which is why I'm going to the extent to vouch on their behalf!

OEM battery on eBay

Any chance these are legit OEM batteries? Two OEM batteries for $16 seems too good to be true.

It is too good to be true. EBay is crawling with fake "OEM" batteries with a sticker that looks exactly the same as the real one. Makes it almost impossible to tell from a pic. If you want a "real" OEM battery, you need to get it from a known good seller. Shimshop on EBay sounds reliable from reports here. There's also Expansys, they likely have the real deal. The pricing I've seen is about $30/per for the real ones. Much cheaper and it's probably a fake.

i was thinking these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-OE...ccessories&hash=item2a18a7b669#ht_4442wt_1247
looks legit but who knows.
Also newegg had some but I don't see them now.

I've been using the bargain-basement eBay China batteries in everything from DSLRs to cell phones for like 7 years. They never work quite as well as OEM but at 10% of the price for 90% of the performance I don't care.

Its funny you posted this. I ordered 3 of them with charger and got them a few days ago. They are not OEM however they actually work pretty well. I sent seller email before i bought them and was told in his own words they are OEM samsung batteries.. I did this so when they were delivered i would have proof that seller was stating the fact they were OEM... I knew however for 14$ there was no way they would be real. This way when I contacted seller to complain i would have a leg to stand on. I sent him and email stating that they were fake and that I wanted to know what they were going to do about it and 1 hour later a paypal refund for the full amount was issued. These guys know they are selling fake stuff however unless you have a trained eye and know what you are looking for it would pass as an OEM product. For the price.... They are good batteries...lol.. To be honest i would have gladly paid the money if the seller would have come clean on the matter.. I will take pictures and post them when i get a chance..hope this helps....cheers
I took pic of all 3 with charger and a pic with a real OEM next to the eBay battery...can you tell the difference? lol... Oh and pics were taken with my Nexus so please excuse the quality...

The "original" ones on eBay IMO are fakes. Also the typeface used on the label definitely doesn't match the OEM battery that comes with the phone. I would avoid them and buy from a trusted vendor like Expansys or Handtec.

If you email the sellers of these real, but fake batteries, they will quickly say they made a mistake posting and the batteries are not genuine... I hate when sellers play games like that.
We should all mass-purchase these "original batteries" and demand refunds at the sellers expense, just to teach them a lesson. It's not right to knowingly scam the public.

Agreed. Usually you won't go wrong if the seller has included "genuine" in the listing. Be careful when they don't include that word. That's common ebay sense.

I go to Shenzhen and HK regularly, and I've been in the shanzhai/jiamao markets there and they have booths with blank batteries and the stickers that look almost exactly like all the major brands, they will make you up 100 or 50 or any qty you like on the spot. When they sell a counterfeit battery they always include a charger.....guess why? They caution you not to charge that counterfeit battery in your phone, it might explode or catch fire!
So they always sell the charger with the battery.
NO WAY would I put one of those P.O.S. in my phone.
They are tempting though.

Yeah ..i was pretty sure when I bought them that they were fakes so when I received them I was not so surprised.. I did however get 3 batteries and a charger for free..lol...They are actually pretty good...They don't heat up and seem to last as long as the original. They are about 90% as good as the OEM as far as discharge times. Overall I am quite happy with them...And for the price I can't go wrong..

Damn I wish I had seen this the only way I knew was that it was fake was the NFC didn't work.

I've been using ebay batteries in my G2 for a long time. For the price I'd say they are worth it. I had a 2200mah evo 4g battery from ebay in my G2 for over a year and I just recently had to replace it because it wasn't holding a charge quite as long as it used to. When I first got it, it would easily last a day, which was something the stock htc battery couldn't do. Now I have an extended 3500mah battery I paid only 6 dollars for and I can get 3 days off of a charge. I have a 2300mah battery on order for the nexus, I'll make a review thread and let you guys know how it does.

Fake battery Foneshop Amazon Shop

Dear Friends,
I just wanted to give a heads up that you should not buy the battery from foneshop.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-2100-mAh-Battery/dp/B007Y8VJP6
As you can see I have left a review, the battery is fake, it is not genuine as the qr code is fake, the labels are different, NFC does not work and the item does not come in original packaging (so no warranty on your phone or battery if something goes wrong). I just wanted to warn everyone to stay away, I am now in the unfortunate position, as the seller does not reply to any emails. So save yourself a head ache

Thank you I was actually thinking about buying a battery from then thanks for the heads up

too late
I ordered two of them and got cheated i bought mine from Hadi Tech
Your right the QR code is not recognised and the packaging was a plastic bag.
Do you know what I could do? maybe sent it back a get a refund?
I do want genuine batteries so if I buy it from amazon.co.uk seller(unstead of third party) will I get a genuine one?
heres the pic of the battery against the real one, the real one is dated 2012.06.16 and has a little bump at the bottom which the fake doesnt have it

yeah the absence of the bump means that there is no nfc, as the antenna isnt there.
Personally I started a mini campaign against the seller (thus this thread), sent 2 emails threatening actions, wrote a very bad review on them and made sure all the other reviews had a comment to let them know theirs might be fake. The seller got in contact with me, apologised and sent me a free original Samsung battery with proper packaging (received it today ). So I am somewhat happy now, I suggest you nag them as much as you can, or raise a claim with Amazon if the seller isnt doing anything.

Also forgot to mention, the seller has closed his listing on amazon, so it looks like 1-0 to me

amazon.co.uk/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=1&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&isCBA=&asin=&seller=A38IW41IS26FWW i put a really bad review on it haha
I cant contact the seller :/ and if i send the item back then i have to spend more money to buy genuine batteries(also i spent £8 to get guranteed next day deivery-which would be wasted) ill just try to confront the seller
just noticed that they keep changing their name so they will probably just make another account and scam more people

Counterfeit Battery??

Hi just ordered a battery for the LG V20 and it was supposed to be OEM and 100% brand new. However, when I received the battery, there was a black tape over the LG logo. This raised some red flags. Taking a closer look, the label on the battery has more slightly bolded letters compared to the original and the sticker itself is not applied to the battery nearly as well as the original. Another concern is the manufacture date on the battery says 2016.07.07[L]. The LG V20 was released on September 6th and didn't go on sale for another two months! What should I do about this? Is this likely a counterfeit? And do I contact LG, Ebay, or the seller?
Here is the link to the battery on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252701172837?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
P.S. I would attach a picture I took comparing the two batteries, but cna't figure out how to do that.
Thanks

I'd say contact the seller first. If they won't let you return then contact ebay. If you paid with Paypal they usually assist you for a resolution.

Yea I never get extra batteries from eBay anymore because they're all counterfeit no matter what the description says. Your only option is Amazon, IMO.
eBay is great for cases tho. I've gotten a few counterfeit cases on previous phones that were the same and better than the real ones because they fixed certain issues that the real cases had.

Don't order batteries or sdcard off of eBay too many fakes, amazon is better but I would make sure you get it from Amazon and not a 3rd party seller.

Find a local dealer for batteries that warrenties them. If your paying 15$ you get what you pay for, oem should run 40-50$ per battery
anything less its consumers fault for buying a cheap-o knock off, its like anything else. And why risk your safety with a EL-Cheapo?
Didnt anyone learn that lithium is dangerous and its not something to take lightly? NOTE 7?? Those knock offs dont go through ANY quality tests, and usually dont even have the resistors on the top of battery for protection.
Just google search cheap batteries from ebay, youll see what im talking about.. Stay away from Ebay and Amazon for this stuff. Same exact marketplace style, just 2 different parent companies.
east coast has store called ( Batteries Plus And Bulbs ) find a place similar and do biz local.
1 for exchanges and issues, 2 because you have a place to hold accountable and verify reputation.
We see this all the time on batteries.

Just order the cradle pack https://www.amazon.com/LG-Battery-Charging-BCK-5200-Charger/dp/B01M5C23SV it has everything included and is quite cheap.

It might be safe but performance probably won't be the best. Contact the seller and he should resolve it for you, he obviously knows they're fake and won't risk the bad feedback. A guy on eBay with a few thousand feedback would never have these amounts of official LG replacements fyi. They're easily found online just be more careful next time.

Battery

Hello
I want to use My Nexus is my backup phone. Can anyone recommend a good battery. I ordered one from Aliexpress but it didn't ship and was refunded. Since it is my first android phone, I have a lot of memory with it

I've bought many batteries and only a few of them were good. unfortunately there is no way to tell which one will be good, because they are all "fakes". the companies responsible aren't taking credit, which means they also aren't bragging about how good their battery is, or what their track record is. my advice is 2 things: try to find listings that show the date of the battery's construction, or a picture of the actual battery itself, showing a date printed on the label. it is important to get a new battery. I think newer means more likely to not be garbage. and #2: if you want to spend more, there are a couple companies around the world that do sell galaxy nexus batteries with their name brand on them. buying one of these might cost $50 shipped to you, but going this way would prevent you needing to buy 5x $10 batteries like I did. I would link you to the ebay listings of the ones I bought, but they'd all be dead links by now! good luck!
