Maybe it'll work, do you have the part number of the other battery?
All Galaxy S phones share the same battery. It'll work. Also, you can get Galaxy S batteries off Amazon.com for just about $5.
Work perfect ,even better that the vibrant battery because it lost longer it has more amps
great thanks guys for letting me know!

That's not entirely true, I have a fascinate battery and, while it works as good as any other galaxy s battery, it won't charge in the vibrant, I have to use an external charger!

Is there any standard sized extended batteries out there that don't change the form factor of the phone but give more juice?
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...d-battery-for-atandt-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.html
I believe you can find it on amazon for cheaper.
There is one by Hyperion on Amazon. 1800 mAh but I can't comment on how good it actually is
Thanks for the speedy responses. I'll look into those
Make sure to report back how it works. The hyperion one mentioned above is not supposed to cause the boot loop problem.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Make sure it's the i777 one, they just released it and like mentioned above its supposed to remedy the boot loop issue that the i9100 caused.
Good info, ill order one and check it out too
I just received my hyperion battery today and I can say its just a Lil bit lighter and thinner then the original battery. Out of curiosity are we suppose to drain these battery first because I just put it in my phone and charged it.

Yeah it fits fine it also makes the phone a lil more lighter then it already is

Hey! Mugen Power has a OEM sized extended battery for AT&T SGS2
1800mAh man
Also they have a super-big one: 3200mAh
The actual answer is no.

Yes. There is a very reliable one where I bought several times from them.
mugen-power-batteries.com
Normally for one model they have the standard size with extend capacity and another super size with 2-3 times capacity of the standard one. I have tried HTC Sensation's extended battery, works great on my HTC.
Hope you can find what you need. Besides, they ship to all over the world for free!

The HTC Sensation is a special case because it shares batteries with the Evo 3D, but other phones either you're buying something with the same capacity as the stock battery, or less.
If OEMs could make a battery with more capacity in the same space, we have to ask ourselves, why wouldn't they do it?
Exactly... The amount of money they spend on the battery technology alone is crazy. In the old days before smart phones motorola lived and bashed on good battery life... It was the selling point for phones... Until smart phones. But in my opinion it's even more important
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
Its difficult to quantify battery life as its so subjective to actual use/ user habits.
That said, battery technology is pretty good and consistent. You can only get so much "juice" in a battery given its size.
samsung made a 2000 mAh for the euro galaxy s 2, it ads just a little bit of thickness
I would agree with the claims that battery life is nearly impossible to extend but I personally really noticed how much battery life went up with my Inspire when I tried going back to the OEM battery with my normal daily use I'd do with the extended battery. It was incredible what a difference a few hundred mAh make
Sent from my Samsung GT-I9100
It'd be hella nice to get a 2000 mAh battery with NFC support for less than $40.

I've learned to just say yes to these people. you know let them learn a lesson.
I ended up ordering this one:

I was asking about the other one because it did not change the size of the phone.
How is this in the wrong thread? The link is for a battery. This is the accessories section. What gives, camp and Optimus-prime?
It's for T-Mobile... you're in the ATT forums.

The battery says for Tmobile; but I was asking if it will work with our ATT phones. A case for a Tmobile will work with an ATT phone. A charging cord for a Tmobile phone will work with an ATT phone. (I use the same charging cords for several phones.) A battery is not a case or a charging cord, and that is why I was asking if it will work with our phone. In reading other threads in this section (xda-developers>ATT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I77>AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Accessories) some batteries work, some do not. Some work with NFC some do not. Am I going to have to keep qualifying, or do I need to spoon feed everything!?!

Probably best to get products specifically labeled for SGH-I777 to be sure. Anything that doesn't say NFC battery will not let NFC work.
Otherwise, buy it and see. I just ordered a Q-Cell 3500 mAH battery with back cover and a Moretalktime case to fit the larger battery just to piss off a girl in my office since she got a RAZR Maxx. Mine's 200 mAH larger. Petty... Yes. Fun... Absolutely!
It also cost less in total than that slim battery.

does anyone know what the model of the sprint samsung galaxy s3 is? im looking to order online for spare batteries but not sure if its the same as the asian/european versions?
Pretty sure it is the Samsung L710...
Or try SPH L710 WTK
EBay has some 2850mah (probably cheap 2100mah) So I ordered one just to get the external charger. I the. ordered a real Samsung 2100mah battery. I'll have a review when I run the 2850mah for a week.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
thanks for the info guys. yea i seen ebay have some batteries for the s3, but the model number was like gt-i9300...so not sure if its the same as the sprint one??
Yeah, if its for any version of the S3 it will fit. Just be aware that the eBay batteries probably do not support NFC.

if you do not use the nfc batteries, will there be any errors on your phone that pop up?? as long as there isnt any annoying popups that you cant get rid of. i think i need a spare back up battery..... also, most people use nfc for the tap payments and the file transfers right? or at least those are the main uses of the nfc chips.....?

No, you should never get an error. And NFC will also be used for textiles.
Yeah I'm gonna keep the 2850 as a spare once I break it in.

Google Wallet Activation and Non-NFC Batteries
So we need stock batteries in order to use NFC. I wasn't aware of that when I ordered some cheap batteries with charger on ebay a couple of weeks ago. They work well otherwise.
I'm curious about the interaction between Google Wallet and NFC. If I try to activate Google Wallet with a non-NFC battery, will this fry the wallet chip as if I had tried to flash a ROM with it activated? Once I read the thread that referred to this phenomenon I deactivated my Google Wallet just so in the future I wouldn't trash it accidentally while I was playing with my phone's firmware once that's possible.
IMO those batteries are no good, I've had 1 for a week now, some cycles ran through it. Some odd behavior I've had, has only charged to 100% once, now it never reaches full charge[84%], and once unplugged at 84%, percentage on phone sometimes goes up, then back down below 84%. I suggest oem battery, Gold battery brand no good IMO.
Hey everyone,
I have a white samsung GS2 T989. I was thinking of buying an extended battery and/or an external battery pack charger (i was looking at an Anker® Astro Mini 2600mAh)
.
I was looking into a qcell brand battery, what do you think? Thanks for your time.

does your model have the same battery size as GT-I9100? If so, the most reliable extended battery i could recommend is the official samsung 2100mAh extended battery.. just to be safe
Yep. What Saywhat said. Genuine 2000mAh if there's one available for your phone. I've tried batteries from other manufacturers & been underwhelmed (nowhere near specified capacity, excessive heat when charging).
well, seidio's 3200mah battery is working really well for me. it last me two day with normal usage.
anyway, i think the op have the tmobile, whick mean that none of the battery for the i9100 will fit in it.
OP: i think you should ask the people in the tmobile s2 sub forum.

Hi
I'm new here and was hoping to get a bit of advise. I need to get a new battery for an old Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100) and I have been having a look on Amazon. I know the correct battery I need but what troubles me is the amount of conflicting reviews on the batteries. Almost all of them have 50/50 people saying they work or don't work and it gets even worse when you try to look for a genuine Samsung battery with most of the reviews claiming that they are not in fact genuine Samsung.
What I'm hoping is that one of you have bought one in the past that worked okay either genuine or non genuine (it just needs to work) and that you remember which one it was you bought so I can take a look at that one too. At the moment I'm just confused by all the noise in the reviews and haven't got a clue which I should be going with.
Thanks in advance.
i did buy a original samsung battery from an orange ahop and i can tell u it improved my up time with 1 day!!! 2000 mah samsung

Yeah that's the trouble now though as it's such an old phone most shops don't stock them so you have to look online. You mention that you got a 2000mah battery, do these work okay then? I thought I'd have to get a 1650mah as that's what came with the phone? Can you put any mah? in the phone?
use the 2000 mah, samsung made it special for s2 and is a great battery i bought it 2 months ago from store so they still make them
