Dude,
There's actually any difference between them. Don't get worked up.
It still remains the best phone of 2011.
Just enjoy it and have fun.

thank you krazykat and ram3n
this mobile coming from france and i like it just a little effect of cigarette in cover

Isn't everything made in China, give it ten years and China will probably take over the earth, probably rename the planet to porcelain utter butty and be done with it.

The one made in Korea is....well, made in Korea. The one in China, upon closer examination probably claims to have an 8000 gigapixel camera, an antenna that extends from the bottom, runs win98 "mobile", freezes when you check the date, doesn't say Samsung but rather "Sunnisang", claims a battery life of roughly 499 years (depending on the usage of the said camera) and the only available wallpaper has something to do with Hello kitty. Just sayin!

Strange galaxy I9100- made in korea

for the first time i met such GT-I9100 i can't say SGS2 because every thing looks the same but slightly bigger than the well known SGS2 international and the software of the phone is also totally different of that of the International SGS2 .
I attached the images of the stranger , every who knows can tell us what is it ( the stranger)

Looks no different to my s2 from what I can see in the photos except for the wording tflash on the back.

If it is same as yours, then , what firmware version you are using now? this uses V 4.1 GB

Is this some fake Chinese sgs2? I know for a fact that there exist fake iPhones which are very similar to the original iPhone. Also the the name of the apps in drawer are not what they are in Samsung phones be it it any model.

looks....................taller....and cheap.

It's a fake, here's why:
1. T-flash at back
2. 1000mAh on back
3. App: 'Camcorder', should be Camera; 'WLAN' should be 'Allshare'
4. Strangely large home button.
5. MOBIL PHONE rather than MOBILE PHONE
6. Wrong looking MicroSD slot.
7. Should be 'MADE IN CHINA BY SAMSUNG', not made in Korea, and it should be South Korea.
8. IMEI numbers should be seperated by a forward slash (/)
9. There should be a space between S/N and the colon )

Also seems lcd screen, not amoled.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

its fake due what has been said above and also the external antenna on the back is missing for samsung testing purposes,
those Chinese phones with mediatek cpu are getting better at looking like the real thing, I've seen those fake samsung s3 and they use lcd screens instead of amoled, and also a dual core.when you go to info like the OP did you can tell its not real.

[Q] Sprint Black S4 but white accessories?

Okay I got a brand new Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 in black but my accessories are white? Is this right? Ugly if you ask me!

yeah they got lazy, happended with atleast the note 2 and i believe the gs3 as well,

Honestly I hate it. It's like I bought a damn iphone uggh

Yep I don't like the accessories being white either. Not sure why they did that.
Sent from my SPH-L720

Yep I hate it too same laziness apple did with the iPhone 5. I bought black because I wanted everything black.

I don't see how having white accessories is "lazy". Is making white accessories less difficult then black ones? No. Charger color is irrelevant to the phone and white headphones are kind of the norm.
And anyways, this is a purely aesthetic thing and personal choice. I love the white headphones and charger since it contrasts well with the black phone, plenty of people like them. You can just buy whatever color headphones or charger you'd like. You bought a black phone, not black accessories.

And if someone bought a white S4 they would probably complain if they got black accessories. I don't think that my gripe isn't valid. It's logic if you ask me.

It was done on purpose. Samsungs gotta sell those accessories to make that $$... The white headphones are fine by me. When my cat eats through the free ones my blcak mist came with I'll pick up some black ones to match the phone. Until then ... d-_-b

Eh, I doubt the majority of people would complain even if that was so, and I haven't seen any other complaints about it.
Black and White go together, it's not like they gave you purple or blue headphones or something. And my point was it wasn't "lazy" of them, I have never heard of anyone caring about the color of their charger lol. And white headphones and black phone is pretty standard, and I would assume most people that actually care and use the headphones for music, would have their own, only ever use the Samsung ones for calling.

Nexus 4 box

I ordered a nexus 4(8GB) from Google play store.I have received the package.but when i unboxed the nexus 4 i found out that , after the sliding out the outer cover , the inner box cover which is sealed by 2 plasters was not there.i could directly see the device. The cover with the nexus logo on the right bottom was not there. Is this a problem? or is it a new way of packing the nexus 4? Please help.
The red circle marks the cover that was missing!.
Please help!
Thank you.
P.S. The picture i have posted is from Google images.

That's weird. I guess call up Google support and ask for a free pair of headphones or bumper or something.
Does the phone ahow signs of use?

okay will try.

I bought one 2 weeks ago and the cover was on mine, so it is not new packaging.

What cover are you talking about? Your's looks exactly how mine came.
EDIT: you mean the top half of the box? definitely not right if you didn't get that.

What are you talking about?? What you have circled is the top half of the box!! Edit: Just thought, probably not a picture of your box. If so and you were missing that, then I would say it had been opened before or maybe it did change recently. I just got my N4 last month and it had the lid.

That don't look normal at all, doesn't seem safe to be shipped like that since the phone wouldnt be protected at all. Luckily its fine but I would still call Google.

Thanks everyone.

What did you do?

flip covers with magnets,

hi guys and gals, i did a few tests with flip covers that have magnets built in, i found that when you have a flip cover with magnets, it will give some performance issue and possable battery drainage. IMO velcro i think is the way to go. have ago with a benchmark test to see the diffirance with and without the cover only if it has magnets bult in, and please dont forget to hit the thanks button if this info is any help to you, regards joe.

You tested it with benchmark, I had to laugh at that

no i noticed it when i ran a test and i had an overheat issue so i removed my cover to let it cool down. i put the cover near my other phone.and noticed it was a bit laggy when it was near my cover. so i did a few tests with and without the cover and i can say it was my cover.
i was only saying about the benchmark as a ref: so people like youself can see for yourself's the differance.

Thank you both for being able to stay within the XDA rules, in your discussions.
I have cleaned the thread would ask that the talk return to the OP's topic.

The genuine charging dock is magnetic and has no impact on my device and I doubt Sony would use that method if it caused problems.

i have to say my cover is not a sony genuine cover .sorry i should have said that in the first place. but it does have an effect on the my device. regards man.

Only way to know would be to find out what type of magnet is in your case then contact Sony to see what they say about the z1's ability to resist magnetic interference.
