Anyone know if the I9100 battery will fit the I777? I see a lot of sellers listing the battery working for both the AT&T I777 and the International I9100.
yeah I cant find this in writing. Where is a good place to find oem Battery's
I got the 2000 mah anker battery off eBay works great! !!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
The dimensions for the i777 Samsung battery are 59x46x5 mm. I searched and couldn't find dimensions anywhere for the i9100 oem battery. Anyone with i9100 mind measuring the battery dimensions? I hate to order a bunch of stuff only to find it doesn't fit. I don't 100% trust the descriptions on most of the ebay stuff.
Do the I9100 batteries have 3 or 4 contacts? If only 3, they probably won't work, or might damage the additional spring clip in the phone for the 4th contact. (which, if the I9100 batteries only have 3 contacts, means the 4th is for NFC.)
Let me help you guys out here. I ordered 3 international gs2 batteries 2 months ago in preparation for this phone and they work just fine in the att version. the dimensions are exactly the same and everything has been just peachy.

does it give you more power? or it's just labeling? also, will the stock back cover still fit?
I don't see 2000mah on ebay, just 1900mah for anker battery.
Thanks guys, I think I will go ahead and order some i9100 batteries then. There are a lot more options available than for the i777 stuff right now.
Note that anything that includes an alternative battery door won't work. The battery doors ARE different.
Yeah I assumed that and wasn't going to go with an extended battery but do plan on getting a dock which should be similar enough to work well.

Not sure i have been using it for just 3 days now , i see i get 2-3 hours more on the anker batteries , but need to use it longer to confirm that.
it fits well with the stock battery cover.
sorry you are right the one i got was 1900mah too.

It MAY or MAY NOT fit, but I can tell you that the NFC antenna in the SGH-I777 (ATT GalaxyS 2) is embedded into the battery. So even if the battery contacts do match, at the very least you'll lose the ability to do NFC. And further, if Samsung messed with the voltages or signalling on the pins (which they might have done in order to get the NFC antenna hooked into the mainboard), you could potentially fry your phone. Instantly, or maybe even over time...
Until further work is done to figure out exactly what goes on what pin, and how it compares to the i9100, I wouldn't use an i9100 battery if I were you...
I got this battery with a dock charger and it works fine but when I plug it in to anything (computer/usb or power/usb) it freezes the phone and makes it cycle the battery charging/phone off symbol while the battery(?) makes a very quiet clicky sound. Not good. So I started charging it on the dock (came with a spare battery charging slot) and carrying it as an extra. It works fine, just don't charge your precious AT&T Galaxy S2 with it.
I did the shot at this angle so you could see the contacts, I saw some mention of it. My bad on the upside-down hah.

Ah, good to know that's been established.
The people who actually bought a bigger battery off ebay, could you please post who the seller was? I see a few batteries for sale but I have been screwed before so that would be awesome if you could post who the seller was that you bought from. I'd love to have two extra batteries on hand. Thanks in advance.

I usually wouldn't care about the size of my G1 and adding thickness to it for the sake of adding battery life but as of late I gotten a hold of a nice plastic cover for my G1 which also doubles as a neato belt clip (for only 10 bucks... flirtin with them T-Mobile ladies does me good ).
Thus, now adding thickness to my phone in exchange for getting rid of this hard cover/belt clip isn't a option I'm very likely to take up and last I checked up on high capacity batteries it would add sigificant thickness like a 2100mah (or was it 2400 *shrugs*). Was wondering if there's any batteries that doesn't add to overall physical size while giving me better then stock life of just 1100mAh. Thanks!!
I know how you feel, I have a sexy ass neon green hard case for my g1, make it look sick. I had the same problem and tried three different battery retailers online for an extended life battery. The one that I settled on was the Andida: check out this post. You can find the eBay seller most of the people in the thread bought it from, good seller but ships from Hong Kong so shipping takes a while. I'd solidly recommend the Andida, I've had nothing but excellent performance out of it, considerably better than the OEM battery from HTC. Some people had mixed reviews about it, but in my experience, it was an excellent purchase.
I'm also using an Andida battery I bought off of ebay for just under $10, and it works beautifully! It's a 1600mAh battery with the exact same dimensions as the stock 1150mAh battery HTC provides, giving you 40% more battery life between charges without adding any thickness to the phone. It's the highest capacity battery I've found that doesn't require you to get a deeper back cover.
I've been useing the Innocell 1400mAh battery and its worked out quite nicely.

Not necessarily lies. Battery life is heavily dependent on your particular rom.

If you are running a hero based rom, try running the latest Cyanogen rom and post back results.

I considered this, until I realized all the hardware that I'd need to drop the voltage from 12 to 3.7 efficiently....
Since AT&T's model has the thicker NCF 1650mah battery by default I'm thinking that the Korean NFC 2000mah package may fit since that is probably what the AT&T GSII build may likely be based on since the AT&T version has NFC and is a mm or so different in size vs the international version, similar to the Korean SGSII version and how the international version can't handle the Korean kit (the 2000mah NFC battery fits, the back doesn't).
What would be interesting to know is if the international battery kit back fits the Korean GSII's since we know the Korean battery kit back does not fit the international GSII, and from what I've seen on the internet the AT&T version can not use the international kit (probably due to the back but the battery may still fit).
If anything I hope its just the back of the AT&T GSII that is incompatible with the international GSII cause if the battery and the back is different in size then I'll be really pissed cause that would mean that AT&T has a totally different size from all the rest of the GSII's which could make buying accessories really slim picking, one of the main reasons why I held out over the AT&T variant over the Sprint version was the similarities with the international version which means more accessories to choose from. So HOPEFULLY the Korean kit works.
Another option is to look at the batteries for the Indian version of the GSII since it supposedly has NFC as well but I have not seen anything on it. And of course we could just wait for AT&T and Samsung bring out the 2000mah battery kit for the AT&T GSII but I'd be surprised if they have any plans on doing that anytime soon if at all since Samsung will be busy with the Nexus and AT&T will be busy with their upcoming QHD and HD phones.
It's just a hunch but I went and ordered the Korean NFC 2000mah battery kit from exportprive for $35 USD (plus $20 USD "express" shipping) over the weekend along with a couple of those charger stands ($13 USD each) and I guess they will ship it soon so I'll be the guinea pig for testing the Korean battery kit and the AT&T GSII, wish me luck !
That is a lot of typing for a battery ha ha..jk
Look forward to seeing if this works if so I'll follow suit.
From reading the general SGSII 2000 mAh thread, I believe as long as it's "NFC" it will fit our phone.
After all that hassle, it will suck if the 2000mAh batteries have less capacity than the 1650mAh batteries due to Samsung's standards over cheap battery mfrs...

Reports so far from people using the 2000mah batteries on the international GSII are calling it a 20%+ gain in battery life along with better cooling due to different back and overall good looks without much of an addition in thickness with the phone being around the thickness of the Captivate after the battery and back are installed. If it works I think it will be a great addition to an already great phone.
Ah, just got a response from exportprive that explains the situation:
Hi,
The EB-K1A2EBSG is the Korean version of the EB-K1A2EBEGSTD, and was supposed to be compatible with all Galaxy S 2 versions. However, it turns out that only the back plate is incompatible, and only fits the Korean Galaxy S 2. In fact, the 3 top left grooves (with the outside of the back plate facing you) are aligned differently by just a few millimeters, which bends the case when trying to insert it in your device. We apologize for any inconvenience, and offer you the following alternatives to solve this problem:
1. A refund for this item (or a credit of the same amount).
2. A partial refund of $6 USD per item if you wish to keep it as an extended battery (which is an NFC version).
We are open to any other suggestions. Please let us know what you wish to do.

I wonder how much trouble it would be to get an extended back for the AT&T version to fit this back? Seeing how the 2000mah NFC batteries aren't as easy to come by as the even more hard to come by regular international 2000mah batteries.
I would hate for someone to be a guinea pig but I'm going to wait till someone tries it on the US version.

I wonder if there's a non-Samsung door that will work.
I got this battery with a dock charger and it works fine but when I plug it in to anything (computer/usb or power/usb) it freezes the phone and makes it cycle the battery charging/phone off symbol while the battery(?) makes a very quiet clicky sound. Not good. So I started charging it on the dock (came with a spare battery charging slot) and carrying it as an extra. It works fine, just don't charge your precious AT&T Galaxy S2 with it.
I did the shot at this angle so you could see the contacts, I saw some mention of it. My bad on the upside-down hah.
All questions concerning an AT&T version seem to be ignored in the international version thread...has anyone found one that fits our version??
The 2000 mAh battery for the international Galaxy S 2 should work on the AT&T version since the back appears identical.
the backs appear identical, however the international version is not NFC capable and therefore that battery will not be the same. but i agree that the I9100 thread seems to ignore any comments about the I777. wth.
I just bought the 2000 mah batter from Ebay and it has the NFC label on it. Of course, I have the international version and it doesn't fit. For those that have the US version, PM me if you'd like to buy it. I'm in the SF Bay Area, CA.

I just posted about the extended battery I recieved yesterday. It is a 2600MAH battery from a company called TruCell. I took a risk because they were the only company I found on the web selling a battery specifically for the AT&T model. Funny on Ebay it said for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 but whe I look at the battery it says for the I9100. In any case the battery and the case fits perfectly. Phone is heavy as all get out but If It gives me an extra 4 to 5 hours of heavy use then I am perfectly fine with it.
what did that monster cost you???

For $45 they better plan on coming by 2x a week to clean the lime-stain ring from the toilet bowl. For a "china-model" battery that's absurdly high.
But I am interested to see when this one goes to market if they've figured out how to produce a battery that'll charge inside the phone.
Not sure why ATT pisses off their customers by having Samsung spec a phone which requires customers to purchase batteries and phone parts direct from ATT. So annoying.
Anyone get it yet? I might order one on payday and report back unless someone beats me to it.

That seems kind of expensive. See the other thread where Hyperion is selling 2x1800 batteries and charger for $25 on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Galaxy-Battery-Charger/dp/tech-data/B005XOHQ6Y/ref=de_a_smtd
No idea which is better but if Hyperion can provide this I would think Mugen could as well at the same price point. I would wait till it's cheaper or get the Hyperion. Hyperion model already has some good reviews on Amazon.

I dunno about hyperion but Mugen does give a chart that there is about 9% more juice in the 1800mAh battery...I think if you need a real increase it's better to check a solution with a backcover. 3200mah could do. I used 3300mah on my Nexus S and it was great.
So these extended batteries don't have nfc and they won't charge inside the phone correct?

Lol, exactly what I've been thinking. Until lithium ion is replaced, the physical size of a battery is a strong indicator of how long it will last. If it's 'barely' bigger. It will last 'barely' longer.

boomboomer I was looking at the anker batteries when i first got the phone last year too.. but ended up going with this official samsung kit that had a spare that game with it. What capacity Anker's did you end up getting? I had a look at those big 4400mAh ones as a backup for when travelling overseas but never went through with getting one.
the one thing i hated about the iphone 4 I had last was waiting for sufficient charge whenever I had to quickly be somewhere unexpectedly. Some times Id go out for a few beers in the evening with a low charge thinking id be home soon.. end up having many, many more and so Id end up with a dead phone as im trying to find a way home.
Can honestly say that I havent ever had that issue again since investing in this phone and extra battery haha.
The ankers are the same physical size as the standard battery, just 2200mAh. The only draw back is the capacity drops quickly once below 10%, but I usually swap battery when it gets below 20%.

I use one. love it. All Samsung Galaxy S III phones ships with an extra battery so why not use it? So convenient to have one always charged in the battery charger and your phone charged with wireless charging. Qi!
R: [Q] Anyone else use spare battery?
I bkught a 2800mah battery a while ago...great, lasts a lot.
If i ever need another battery i will put back the old one...i could of course get ANOTHER 2800 and then keep switchingg it...but it would be tiresome...thats why they made rechargeable batterues in the first place...as soon as the battery wears out (5months my guess it will be 40-50% worse than when u first started using it) get another one. If you go on a trip and forget the charger, pop spare under the hood and hit low energy mode!

So my OEM Samsung battery is about junk. Wondering what people suggest to get as a replacement and why?
Im looking for something that fits the stock battery cover. I had one of those 4400mah batteries but the cover that came with it didn't last long and there was no case that fit it well.
So what does everyone recommend?
I have 2 anker batterys, and while they both work and have about the same longevity of the stock battery, I encountered 1 issue. One night I left my phone on the charger with the anker in it and woke up to find my phone almost too hot to touch and the overheat symbol on screen. I ripped the battery out, and it was swollen to about 1.5 times the thickness of normal. The phone and battery still work fine, but id rather buy a different brand next time. That's my 2¢ if it helps any.
