Whats up with the slow charge time of the battery? I hate to compare apples to androids...but my old iphone's charged quick enough. ~1.5 hrs went from 10%-100% easily. my phone was at 10% so I connected it to the charger about 2 hrs ago. currently its at 22%. did I miss something?
I charge pretty slowly too, not 22% an hr, but it takes me a good 3 hours from 0 to 100%. Hopefully there is a way to charge this phone faster

That does seem slow, but I do think the SGS II will charge slower than iPhone. Last time I took my phone to dead it was 4-5 hours for a full charge, with almost no use. I generally charge my phone at work, after lunch I am generally at 50-60%, and can usually get upto 100% before I leave barely, in about 2 hours, with light Pandora or web browsing.

I really hope so. I don't like having to be tethered to a charger all day long.
Monoprice Mobile Charger FTW. 2800 mAh for about $15. And I feel like it charges faster than the wall connection...

I agree with that. No solution to "slow charging" but awesome to keep on hand for low battery times...

I think the slow charging has something to do with the 'nfc capable' battery we have.

I had a couple from them for my iPhone (before they got pulled off the site a while back) and had zero issues. Not to say they're all perfect... but my experiences have been positive.
3-4 hours for the wall charger (4%->100%) depending on how much I fiddle with it.
Much longer via USB (4-5).
The samsung charger puts out a lower current than the iPhone charger. .7A v 1A. Charging by USB is generally .5A.

Also, Entropy512 has this to say in the notes for his kernel:
This means we have far fewer options (90,400,660 mA) in terms of charge rates compared to the I9100 (from 200 to 950 in 50 mA steps)
Click to expand...

So, we may only be charging at 660mA anyway.
Yea, same issue here. I just go the Galaxy S2 for few days and charging is an issue. 4+ hours to a full charge(not good), so I got the iPhone usb charger(coming from iphone 3g,4) and it's charging faster now .7A vs 1A (not sure if it would do any harm).
All samsungs charge slow. Its just the way it is.

Hey all.
Just wanted to post and say that my Sensation battery works flawlessly in my EVO 3D. Many reviews and tests on the Sensation boards are confirming the battery is indeed 1900mah so its a good deal for a $10 battery from California!
Is there any noticeable difference? I don't see what an extra 200 (or whatever it is) mah will do, still $10 isn't bad for just a general backup battery.

Eh its alright. I've only had the phone for a few days tho. I'll get back to ya.
I've had these batteries for a week now and do notice a slight increase over stock. However I only calibrated it 2x (full discharge and recharge).
Thanks for the info. Even if they are just 1730mah then they are still a great deal compared to $30 for a stock HTC battery! Got a link? I'm gonna order 1 or 2 tonight

Robstunner, can you confirm that this is the seller that you got yours from as well?
Oh, another question for any one with these batteries and charger. Does the battery show 100% charged when you put it in your phone after using the external charger? My ebay docking station with extra battery charger in the back doesnt fully charge. When I put in a battery off the charger, it reads from 86-94%. I've tried taking them out as soon as teh light turns green and also leaving them in 5 hours after the light is green, same results though...
If this one actually charges to 100%, then that is another added bonus!!! I can charger 2 extra batteries at the same time, and when the dock says its charged, I'll put the battery in the charger that comes with the Anker batteries to finish them off.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220809471557
Thats what i got. I believe the Sensation users were saying that there is a 1930mah one made by anker for EVO3D. THe mentioned it because it also worked on the Sensation.
Can't find a seller in Germany..
Only one seller on ebay provides shipping to germany. One battery for $24,99 and shipping cost $5,00. Not a very good deal, is it? =/

Id like to know about the white charger as well. I have a black one from ebay for sensation and it charges the anker 1900mah up to 99% but it charges my oem up to 90%. I need a charger that will charge the OEM batt to alteast 99%.

Considering it is 1900mah and lasts a bit longer than OEM which cost more then I would say its a fair deal but not a great deal. Also not having an extra charger kinda makes it pointless to have an extra battery. Just my thoughts.
I have a couple of these and aso notice a bit of improvement over stock. Depending on my usage maybe 1 to 2 hours better. The charger seems to work fine for me as the voltage with the charger versus charging via the phone are identical. Testing with a multimeter after full charge.

So after using the white external charger to fully charge the battery, once it lights up that its done and you put the battery in the phone, the phone shows battery as 100% ?
So far for me these batteries run cooler and longer. Its pretty cool that the charger is universal and can charge almost any cell battery.
PS. They also always charge to 100 percent for me.

Yep sure does. Although I did wipe battery stats and did 2 full cycles this way. Seems strange that it would actually be 100% though since it does take some power to boot the phone. But I guess not enough to make a difference. I'm using ViperRom with a self made circle battery with %. System panel also shows 100% can't remember the voltage system panel showed, ill look next time I put one in if you're interested.

Are you guys still using OEM at all? I have 2 of these anker but I wanna get an extra one and forget about the stock so it doesnt screw up my battery stats.
I use them all including stock, the voltages seem to be pretty close and I get maybe an hour less on the stock bat with my usage. So I think you will be ok interchanging them.

Hello XDA. Another post to try and help the community. I just received my order from eBay and wanted to share.
So I decided to buy some extra batteries to have on hand so as not to run out of juice. In the process, I also wanted a separate charger to keep them charged. To my amazement, I found the Anker charger WITH 2 replacement batteries for $14.99 shipped from a California seller!
I also ordered a Hyperion desktop dock that has a built in charger for an extra battery. This dock should arrive later this week but also a California seller off eBay! I'll post when that arrives.
Anyway, back to the Anker. Packaging is nice. It's in retail packaging as if it's sold in stores. Comes with instructions too! The charger is universal and can charge many different styles of batteries. It also has a USB port to charge another item while it's charging battery. The other nice thing is it will charge from a wall outlet OR a car charger! The mini USB plug is also on the side with the USB port. I'm not so sure on the charging pins however as they seem a bit thin and will require to be lined up every time a battery is inserted. The pins slide from right to left to allow for different size batteries. That's another issue. The battery for the Note is so big that it has to sit off to one side to allow for the charging pins to make contact.
The batteries are also retail packaged and come with instructions. They are White in color... Matches my Note.... And seem about the same weight. They are listed at 2500Mah but I have yet to try them out for longevity.
There are many pics I've taken to try and paint a picture as to what you'll get if you decide to order. Hopefully this will help someone who may want or need them. Any questions, let me know!

The seller is laptopmate_usa. I have no affiliation with said seller nor can I vouch for them but I will say, shipped fast and free. They have a great feedback too. I figured it might be faster for anyone searching for this deal if I gave the name of the seller.
Hopefully these items will work and provide long lasting performance. If not, it was only $14.99.....

let us know the life for one full charge plz...
I got something similar for my Xperia Play last year. I only wanted the charger but it came with two batteries and was only £10 or £15.
I expected the two batteries to be useless but here I am a year later still using them, sometimes for weeks at a time as my primary battery as I tend to charge my phone a lot so it helps keep the official battery good for longer.
The batteries are of course not as good as the official one, probably around 75-80% as good but I have been very happy with them so far. So even if these batteries are similar that is money well spent in my opinion.
i got it at amazon at the same price 14.99$ (2 batteries and charger) with GUARANTEE 2 days deliver! i'm a Prime member. maybe due to popular demand, they raised the price to 16.99$ on amazon now.

i just use it like any other battery, charge it and use it.
after i got these inexpensive batteries, i havnt use the original samsung battery!
these anker battery last me the whole day just like original samsung battery. (i charge it when i go sleep).
the only time i swap battery is when phone battery is getting low or i forgot to charge it.
I also bought this same Anker deal for my Galaxy S -- off the same guy. They seemed to work as well as stock, though I didn't do any testing. They were supposed to be 300 mah bigger then stock -- I didn't notice a diference. Funny thing is it was more expensive for the batteries for my Galaxy S that are smaller then these haha. Anyways I'm not a huge fan of the charger. It says in the manual to not leave your battery charging for more then 24 hours, so I assume that means it continues to charge the battery after it reaches 100% and you'll want to take your battery off as soon as possible to avoid degradation. The charger is also made for any battery so it has these awkward sliding pins you have to set on your batteries + and - each time which can be a little annoying. Other then that, great buy.

I got these from a seller on Amazon for 8.99 I think it was. Couldn't go wrong. I actually get better life from these than my samsung battery!
Well, first charge cycle was in the 10.5 hour range with 3:25 minutes on screen. Charged it from %1 overnight so lets see what day 2 brings. I leave the wifi on as well as GPS and I'm in an LTE area with so-so signal. My average life is 12-13 hours with 2.5-3 hours screen so if I get the same oit of these, I'd be just fine with that.

Are you somehow implying that was a dumb question? Because I know there's no reason Samsung has to replace it, But Apple would...
And the battery's useless to me now and had to replace with an Anker 2200mah and just want a non insulting answer how far I can push my luck with Samsung's warranty.
Check the warranty information batteries are covered but it could only be a 6 month warranty on them, it is shorter than the phones warranty.

batteries naturally lose capacity over time. most manufacturer suggest you get new ones once a year.. so at 8 months, you're pretty close to the recommend date already so I high doubt it especially considering it's a removable one

Dammit you right...
It is only 6 months warranty on batteries, I just assumed it was 12 months because you always hear that you should replace rechargeable batteries every 12 months, But still 8 months, less than 300 charges and rarely charging at below 20% shouldn't be enough to cause a 25% capacity loss and shows it has weak cells.
how do i test my battery capacity ?
please don't ask questions in General
How have you been charging it?
Almost exclusively used USB here, 600-900mA charge. Been 6 months, one charge per day, no noticeable drop in Battery Monitor Pro stats..

Been hearing that long before the Internet was created and makes sense because lithium cells do usually hold full charge about that long used daily, And anyway I just checked the warranty on my Anker 2200mah & 4400mah batteries and they got an 18 month warranty so shows phone manufacturers are just being greedy so they make more money on accessories giving a short warranty.

Fast charge is disabled by default (on obvious reasons, google it), but hey... anyone is free to make it work if he can find a proper solution.
Said that, 3 hrs should be more like 2 hours or 2 hours and a a half... but seen OP never stated specs, it's all right.

Yes I am , thank you, cause the slow charge issue was elaborated and mentioned so many time around XDA but seems no one cares to search and read.
This phone with and with original charger, and AFTER teh update from Gingerbread to ICS/JB is charging as per specs. On Gingerbread there was a flaw that permitted to charge it upto 900-1000 mA but the phone was rather hot, I recall charging mine in an hour and a half or 15-20 minutes more, from 2-3% to 100% back when phone had GingerBread.

ill never buy an iphone,s2 does charge really slowly and s3 too,but s4 no,so its a matter of samsungs technology which is slow,plus i agree that battery is good for 1650,i guess ill have to get used to it.Im going to send it to samsung to see if they can change something,like the usb port to handle more voltage,do u guys think its possible?

Nope, they won't do anything, but you can try all along if it's free service.

You can use 2.1A output chargers too, it is simply not going to draw all that but you might get the better on the go recharging while you're using the phone with heavy apps. Just think of the dual car chargers - they have both 1A (phone) and 2.1A (tablet) output. SatNav on 1A is zeroing or still draining your phone battery, while 2A can slowly charge it on the go.
You just give it a needed juice and if the discharge is so greater then recharge, there's not much you can do about it.
Call it a flaw, but Samsung did it cause of longevity of their batteries and li-ion technology.
That is why I indicated iCrap and BB - their fast charge is provoking rather fast discharge too cause the battery will not hold it. I have colleagues with BB who're charging in an hour but get their phones depleted in 3 hours of usage... I wouldn't want that from my S2 for sure. :good:

With stweaks you can let usb charge from 450 to 650mAh.

Use s4 charger. It has 1amp output current. .
But not recommended though.

It doesn't matter what the output current of the charger is... the phone will only draw 650mA.
The charger I got with my S2 delivers 1A but my phone only draws 650mA. Actually the hardware doesn't support it.
IMO, 3hrs is pretty fast for a full charge.
Edit: Just noticed that Fevves already mentioned all that...

Some kernels have the Option to change the charge rate but even at 650mA the phone will get very hot if you are doing something on it while charging
Sandm4n is right :good:

Nice review. I have 2 of these units and tested them on the Nexus 5 since I don't have my 6 yet. I had no issues with Rinkge slim case either. I agree the charger is a great piece of hardware and I like the fact it is big enough for the Nexus 6. I do have a 2012 Nexus 7 and although it does not have wireless charging it still fit with no problems.

Yes, it's build quality is quite great. Nice to know it is compatible with most cases. Even very durable thick cases as well, although it seems to have issue in vertical mode with the bulkier types.

Recently bought this charger... Not sure how trustworthy this is will this mess up my battery? Anyone had any problems or complaints? I am using a nexus 6.
I bought this charger and was sent a used model. No plastic on the disc and scuffs all over. Very disappointed.

The plastic sleeve is on really good. I strongly suggest you to try to remove it again. It is not used. I'm 90% sure. that is the plastic you are seeing scuffed.

You are right. I'm a huge tool. I thought I picked at the edges hard enough before posting but found a softer spot around the foot insert. Thank you.

Enjoy it, great wireless charger.
Don't feel bad, I had a hard time getting the plastic off as well. I knew it was there though. I almost threw out the box as well before I saw this video showing the manual and soft cloth.
I also purchased this charger and I love it..It seems to charge the Nexus substantially slower though.. What's your guys thoughts on it?

Wireless charging is way more slower than using the Turbo or even normal wall charger.
The output with wireless is max 500mA so it will take long time if you are expecting to charge your battery full
wireless charger its like fast charger ?

It can take 2A input and output 700mAh at least per reviews. If you're getting 500mAh then you're limited by your power brick
Charges really slow. Phone at 30% before sleep at 11pm wake up at 7 not even at 100%

Try a stronger adapter or something, because my phone charges in a few hours from 20%.
I can't tell you how fast because I'm asleep, but I know it doesn't take more than 3 hours.

seems I found the problem. Every Morning I wake up the battery is at 95% from the charger. I don't know why i stops at 95% and doesn't go to 100%.
I have restarted and will try again tonight.
any suggestions?

I woke up at 87% this morning as my phone was nearly full when I went to bed. More concerning is why I have so much battery drain.. But yes, once my phone reaches full charge it does *not* resume unless I remove it from the charger and put it back on. Really grinding my gears!
I know that, with some wireless chargers, there have been problems in the past with overheating. If you have to leave the phone on the Aukey Luna charger for a long time to get it charged, have you experienced any overheating issues?
