is the 4.3" i9100 really lighter than 4.0" i9000? If so what about the battery life of i9100 compared to i9000?
Its 3 grams lighter, I dont think anyone will notice the difference in weight. (although its impressive since the i9100 has bigger screen)
At stock, the i9100 also has a better battery life compared to the i9000 due to its better battery.
i9100 has 8 h 40 min (3G) talk time compared to Up to 6 h 30 min (3G) on the i9000.
is the battery life really better than i9000?

At said at my previous post, at stock, it should be. The i9100 is rated to have an extra 2 hours of talk time compared to the i9000.
does s2 run hotter than S1?
sure,but the battery life's much worse than s

Hey guys,
I noticed on gsmarena.com, it lists the Bell's version of the S2 (Samsung Galaxy S II 4G) as having a slightly larger battery than the regular S2.
Is this true? Would there be differences in battery life, then?
Not true. My Bell S2 is 1650 mAh.
1650 here as well, probably just a typo.
Now a days these reviewing sites are in so much hurry to post a review that they don't even check once what they wrote
I've been around the block a few times with my Vibrant(s), yes, that was meant to be plural. I absolutely love it.
However, I'm running MIUI on one device and am looking for better ways to improve my battery life.
I'm interested in ordering a new battery. Found some decently priced 1650mah batteries on Ebay. My question is, the 1650mah from the Samsung Galaxy S 2, is it the same battery size as our Vibrants?
Ebay has a lot of choices for Samsung Galaxy S 2 batteries.
Thanks in advance users of XDA!
Galaxy S2 battery is physically different from Galaxy S battery and will not fit in vibrant.

What about The I9000 and the Vibrant?
don't know if the SGS2's battery is compatible with the vibrant, but if you want an inexpensive solution, on ebay you can find a powerskin for 12.99 refurbished or 16.99 new. http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-OEM-POWER...ain_0&var=&hash=item6fc4151a8b#ht_4039wt_1139
Thanks. I just bought one.

I9000 battery will work fine, I currently have a Mugen 1700mAh i9000 replacement battery in my phone; same size, lasts longer, and everything works great. Only complaint is they're on the pricey side ($45 or so). The mugen for our Vibrant is only rated at 1650mAh, so that's why I went with the one for the i9000
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
So I'm getting my wife a new phone for valentines day but have a question about battery life. She talks on the phone for hours a day so it needs to last at least most of the day. She likes both the amaze and the sensation as well as the galaxy s2. My question is has there been significant improvements in the battery life of the amaze with Roms and or kernels. Or should I just get her one of the other 2. I know the sensation has some ics Roms out for it. How is the battery life on them? Thanks for any help.

Definitely not the sensation when it comes to battery life. Comparing the Amaze vs the SGS2, sgs2 has a much better life. Sgs2 has a slightly higher battery capacity than the amaze, and touchwiz isn't as a resource-hog as much as senseUI. So for battery life, my vote is go for the sgs2.
Granted I have only had my Amaze for a few days but I have had about the same stock battery life wise on stock ROM for Amaze as I was getting on custom ROM and kernel on GS2.
Battery Life aside if you don't plan on rooting your girl's phone I would suggest the Amaze over the GS2. The stock ROM on the GS2 as is is pretty laggy. The Amaze is pretty snappy.

The lag on the sgs2 home was corrected after the Firmware OTA upgrade to UVKL1 & GB 2.3.6
I have to say the Sensation I have owned alot of phones. The Amaze battery life at the moment is terrible. I lose 30-40% overnight on standby. I was and still am very happy with my sensation on android revolution rom.

I've never used the Galaxy S II so i wouldn't know, but I had a different experience with the sensation, I used the anker battery on my sensation and i'm using the same battery on the amaze (I've never used the stock battery that came with the amaze) and battery life was way better on the sensation, it even stays at 100% alot longer than the amaze, it takes about 3 minutes to go down to 98% (probably software related)
i have two anker 1900ma batteries, plus the stock one. With xboarders custom rom, i get 25-30 hours on the ankers, and 15-20 on the stock. Thats good enough for me, i have wifi on al the time and stream music via bluetoot for 5-8 hours a day, i wouldnt say its horrible batteriy life, people just ned to control their settings, that's what android is about after all isnt it?

If you're losing 30-40% overnight on standby, you're doing something wrong.
I had the s8+ exynos and it was great. I am torn after reading reviews, the 845 looks like the winner but it is locked down here in the US. Not sure there will be much development for the exynos as it is still early. The s9+ hardware is awesome but I am torn with the SOC, so those with the exynos what is your experience with battery life and performance?
Any thoughts appreciated...
I believe they are. I am currently testing both the Exynos and Snapdragon. I actually get better battery life on the Exynos in daily normal use. I beleive most of thsoe bad reviews of the exynos are based off of benchmarks and synthetic testing which dont always correlate to the real world. Im personally seeing much much better battery life on the exynos. However I am seeing other weird quirks about the exynos that bother me such as poor reception on tmobile and slower speeds side by side with the snapdragon version. Im also seeing call drops on the exynos that arent on the snapdragon and now I see the exynos doesnt record 4k 60 unless your in auto exposure which is not the case on the snapdragon. Weird quirky things.

I am on tmo, so that is concerning- it seems to have all the bands except 71 so I wonder what the difference is...

I dont even have band 71 in my area yet. Should not be an issue but something is holding this phone back.
Anyone else?
Well, if you flash a custom kernel on the exynos it is miles faster than the snapdragon while still having 6 hours SOT =)
5 hours SOT 20% left after having all these benchmarks ran atleast twice.
Like you see on top, wifi, but, 4g, entertainment mode, and, GPS, etc is all on all day and screen always on high brightness.
Those scores are what you get when you remove the nerf that samsung implemented for the exynos not to crush the snapdragon. Exynos runs 2.7ghz 1 core, 2.3ghz 2 cores, 1.7ghz 4 cores. Custom kernel like what I installed and I am running 2.9ghz on all cores. Like you see on the antutu score, max temperature was 41°C
No idea how it is for carriers on the US, but exynos is the miles better chip.
I have not rooted or flashed anything custom. Mine is still 100% stock and I can say the Exynos version has much much better battery life. Now that I have had 2 full days with the exynos I know for sure its much better in battery life than my snapdragon was. In screen off time this thing uses little to no power. My snapdragon seems to just kill 6-8% per hour min with screen off while my exynos is about 1% an hour with screen off. Both running same apps. Yesterday I barely even touched the snapdragon and it was just sitting there in hibernation mode while I used the exynos all day with videos and texts and calls and it still had the same battery percentage at the end of day.
Thanks guys, the only thing holding me back at this point is the dropped calls/signal issues reported in this thread, but I am probably still in...

I really really really hope samsung fixes this. My only solution now is to call people using google hangouts or duo or viber. Otherwise calls are very very spotty and pretty much guaranteed to skip out or completely drop all together. Trust me i am trying to run my own business and this is extremely important for me. With the number of people reporting this issue I hope to god samsung fixes this.
I ran UX Benchmark app on stock firmware SM-G9650 Snapdragon. Was expecting a bit lower score than Exynos variants but this wasn't the case. Topped the chart versus all phones. SOT is typically 5 - 6 hours. In real life usage I'm not sure there's a huge difference in overall performance between the chipsets.
Not sure about that benchmark app, results don't make much sense.

I love my Exynos. No issues here other than Cricket being slow, but that is the case with all my devices on their network.
I can easily get through an entire day on it without charging. I just choose not to.
Performance wise, it is by far the fastest phone I have ever used.
My exynos is ****. 4 hours sot. 18-24 hours total.
6 hours SOT with everything that matters on, wifi/4g. Lasts the day and the phone feels very fluid and fast. Expect battery life and performance to only get better as developers fix the issues in the kernel.
Let me contradict a few here. I had exynos as I'm in the uk, it was ok. Tried snapdragon version, better gpu and so far better battery too I'm finding.
I have two power saving features on, -10% lowered screen brightness, and restricted background data access sometimes, at work
Exynos gave me 7 to 8 hours sot, for me that was better than expected
Snapdragon is so far about 10 hours sot on this charge cycle, but more often about 8 to 9 hours sot! 8 with around 10 to 15% battery left
I really don't know how the snapdragon is doing it but I'm surprised! Especially today the battery just isn't draining, I have no idea what I'm doing differently. Dare I say snapdragon is slightly snappier?
Location high accuracy on all the time
All I know is that the battery on my S9+ Exynos is WAY better than the Pixel 2 XL that it just replaced.

All I know is right now this thing is doing better than my mate 10 pro! Omg! Something must be wrong with this phone. I'm afraid to restart it in case this things stops sipping battery the way it is
9hrs sot with 21% battery left and I'm not sure exactly why or how tbh. Snapdragon
hi , i had S9 Plus EXY version for two weeks after i used LG V30 Plus but yesterday i returned back to my LG V30 Plus for the following reasons that you might look into
1- i am facing call dropping which was unusual and during some calls the sound disappear for 10 sec and i feel that the call is going to be terminated but it returned back again this was happening in the same palces i used my old phones in this means that the problem from S9+ and today i tried in the LG and all calls were clear and i didn't face any problems
2- i noticed that the switching between 4g and 3g which should go automatically is crazy since at the same moment i can see the phone changing from 4g to 3g rapidly and i felt that the internet connection is slow and taking long time than ever
3- Battery life was disappointed hardly complete a day even after i reduced the screen resolution and turned off AOD I am getting 18 hours battery life with only 5HOURS SOT
Pros
1- sound quality in earphones / Bluetooth also the stereo speakers
2- camera is superior
3- screen is amazing
Im Using the exynos model and there is a little overheating issue in battery..i used a xperia xz pro and the battery temp was always around 30 degrees..even though the processor was far more higher..in this I'm getting around 35 degrees for battery as well as the processor..feels warm sometimes..anyone facing same issues? Ambient temperature is 28 degrees
hi! I'm kinda new to xda. I searched everywhere on google about battery mods on samsung s2(yea, i know, old phone for our days), for example adapting a bigger battery from other models. So far i managed to fit a xcover 3 battery, 2.200 mah, by peeling the logo and nfc antenna, and removing some plastic from the chassis of phone., but the battery cover has some gap and falls off in pocket because battery is thicker. I saw more models with 1800 to 2100 mah, and I need to know which will fit perfectly. Seems that no one ever thought about that. Sorry for bad english
I also own an S2 i9100 an I have always struggled with finding original high capacity batteries for S2. I have tried many so-called high capacity batteries from China but none have proved suitable.
Also I wonder if S2 is capable of charging a higher capacity battery to the fullest... I think it stops charing half way even though we manage to fit a larger capacity battery. But I want to be proven wrong about it.
And if you have found a battery that has a higher capacity such as 2200mah or even higher that is of the same size so that it fits S2, I would love to kno if you are able to charge it to the fullest and get long life usage on S2.
Specific details would be helpful.

you can charge any battery. the charging ic on device is based on voltage, not on amperage. it will charge the battery until 4.2 v regardless the time or mah. i managed to get longer life with 2200 mah battery, but not very impressive because the battery was used and the manufacturing date is 2015. also, it seems that battery dies after some time if you peel its cover and expose metal.
update: Just bought some batteries and successfully fit the model EB-BG360BBE, 2000MAH for core prime. 30h= standby, 7 hours sot

Could you confirm if it is an exact fit for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 ?
