Hello,
I was looking for replacement batteries a while ago and I bought one that (in the beginning) that looked like it would work. Then, I realized the battery I bought had a different manufacturing date than the actual release of the USA 4.0.
Yesterday, my device kept rebooting with this new battery in. I took it out and replaced it with the old battery to find that it worked again.
Is this new battery a fake or an incompatible model?
Thanks,
Trae

Sigh, please remove this topic. I figured out the problem.

What was the problem and where did you get the battery? Does it have the same capacity as the stock one or higher?

The battery caused my phone to bootloop and restored my device to stock. It was weird; however I bought myself a 5.0 and I don't use my 4.0 anymore. It was the same capacity but it might have just spazzed lol.
I got my battery from wirelessground.com but don't worry, I don't have this problem anymore.

Hi everyone!
I have my galaxy S2 for almost a year now, and I never had a problem. A week ago, I saw on a widget that the temperature of my battery is -10°C. I first thought it was an system error, without any differences for my usual use. When I plugged my phone in, the phone said the battery is too cold, and the loading is suspended. My battery depleted. I bought a new one, and have the same problem. I didn't find anything on forums.
I'd add that I tried to update to the latest android version (4.0.3), wich brings nothing.
I've done a factory reset, it doesn't help me.
My phone is rooted, so I don't know if the support will be free for my phone...
Thanks a lot!

Problem??? Because it drops to 99% after you unplug the charger??? That's way within the tolerances of the charge circuit. The real question is what kind of battery life are you getting?
FWIW, My stock T-Mobile SGS-III (i.e. dual core Snapdragon S4) often displays 99% when I unplug the charger. However, it's inconsequential as I get a full day of service from this battery

Well thank you man i thought i was the only one having this problem but fortunatly my phones can last a full and sometimes more than a day.Have a nice day.
Mine still stays on 100% approx an hour later. I.use to have that problem, u need to use different kernel like phenomenal 2.0 or siyah 1.5 beta3

Weird
Hmm that's weird, cause mine doesn't jump to 99% when i unplug charger (on stock firmware)
What firmware are you using now ?
If I were to unplug my phone and not touch it or wake it up it would be on 100% for 1.5 hours.
samsung made it like this to prevent overcharging well it was on S2
Happens to me as well, i've assumed it's just the battery fuel gage calibration being a bit off, and that's likely what it really is. This doesn't really matter, the fuel gage isn't very precise anyway, by design, so who cares.
This is not a problem.
The battery meter is reset everytime your phone charges to 100%.
Unplugged and checked an hour later and still at 100%...stock non rooted.

Its supposed to do that to prevent overcharging or so I've heard but if you leave it plugged in for quite a while, it should stick at 100%.
Mine used to display 99%, but since a recent OTA update, it now stays on 100% once unplugged. Samsung must have altered it. Im on Stock Rom.

I've noticed this as well. It usually happens when I leave it plugged in overnight but if I remove it when it reaches 100%, I'm usually ok.
Galaxy S3 on TMO
Hi, i was hoping you to help me. My phone is getting crazy.. I had a custom rom, the cm11 weekly build, and then i started having troubles with random reboots. Suddenly, my phone with 100% battery powers off and stays that way until i noticed that, then i power on and i have 1% battery and it turns it off. I thought it was a OS problem, so i installed the stock rom to see if it would solve, but turns out that when i'm around 60% battery it reboots again and again, and there's a flicker on the screen. I tried to root and flash another rom, i tried to keep it off for a few days, i tried to drain the battery as fast as i could but it doesn't solve it. So i'm thinking if it could be a battery issue, maybe it's kinda dead.. What do i do? do i buy a new battery or maybe it's another issue? Had anyone had a similar problem? Would it be possible that the companies on purpose make the phone to get crazy after a couple years as a strategy to sell more? Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance for your help.

doesn't hurt to try a new battery, they cost around 10 dollars, and no, phone companies don't do that as a strategy to make you buy a new phone. They stop officially updating your phone to make you buy a new one.

Exactly, i was scared because where i'm from (Argentina) the phones are just impossible to buy, way too expensive. And there's no even the newest phones because the government don't let import/export whatever we want, so it's gonna be hard for me to get a new battery...
I would get new battery and test it for a day then flash different ROM , stock for few days then any good rated ROM

Glad that solved it let us know if any help needed and feel free to post future issues
Hi there, and this is my first post I'll be writing. I came here because I'm aware that members here will have large amounts of knowledge about modified mobile devices etc. Anyway, I'll elaborate on the issue I have.
My brother bought himself a Samsung Galaxy S3 (LTE) device last year, which was secondhand. At first, the battery in the device wasn't quite up to scratch, but still charged correctly. In the past 11 months now, he flashed several ROMs on it (I can get a list if necessary) and now, the last 3 months, the phone has just became a dying mess. It would not charge when in a charger (it would continuously drain, mainly when in use, turned on, and had a SIM card in it).
He has a supposedly geunuine version of TouchWiz 4.3 running on it now. I received a new battery for it today, and factory reset the device. At the moment with a SIM card in it, it is charging as it normally would. Any ideas?
So the new battery's working properly?
The phones almost 4 years old - it's hardly surprising that the original battery's on its way out.

Well seems to be charging, I haven't installed any apps on it yet.
I had problems with my battery also (draining), and bought yesterday a new one. This one took a while to charge. I can take a few days when its fully calibrated by the phone, so it work at it best capacity.
hello guys, is 2 year enough of a battery life? mine is draining like hell while gaming and its 2 years old. What do u suggest, should i buy new one?
my phone's battery was more than 2 years. But AFAIK, we should replace batteries after 2 years.. so yeah.. buy new one.
sorry bad english.
Hi guys, do you know where I can buy an original battery replacement for my F5121?? My phone is 3 years old and the battery needs to be replaced.
Thanks.

I don't suppose you managed to find a battery upgrade? My phone is still working really well after three years and want to keep it going. I'm generally happy with it even today ?
