Hello guys.. I need your urgent help regarding the problem i am facing with my s2 sgh-i777.
My issue is that the phone takes a hell lot of tym to charge and it drains battery at a speed of 2%/min on average.. It is too frustating.
The phone also gets switched off on its own when the battery reaches around 40% (typically 37-38%
Well i have a EB-F1A2GBU battery installed in my phone. But some people say that its not the perfect battery for my sgh-i777. According to them it must be EB-L1A2GBA model. So please help me to find out if all this is happening due to this different battery model or it is the fault of my phone. So that i can troubleshoot it more effectively and efficiently.
My phone is running on 2.3.6 android and its not rooted!
The phone is imported and i'm using it here in india.
So its easy to understand that not much professional help is available here for this model.
Please let me know what you guys think as its gonna help me a lot!
Thankyou.

The original stock battery out of my phone is EB-L1A2GBA. It's two years old now and losing capacity, so I purchased a replacement from ebay. The replacement was inexpensive, US $3.75. The seller ships internationally for US $1.75 extra postage. It does not have a part number on the label, but is labeled as a replacement for the I-777 at 3.7VDC, 2200mAh. I've only had it a few days, but it seems to work normally. Maybe you could purchase this, or something similar an try it to see if that is your problem.
no option to shipment in india
Thanx for the info bro but they dont ship this battery to india. They have shipment offer only for u.s.
Please give me some link from where i can buy it and get delivery in india.

Yes, sorry. They list international shipment available on the ebay offer sheet, but refuse to ship internationally.
I guess you'll have to search to find someone that will ship to you there. Good luck.

Look on ebay.in for a battery. Idk what is good in India as the rupees are different from the ones in Pakistan. Good luck!
not available even there!
Thanks @azeem40, but this model's standard 1650mAh battery isn't available on ebay.in also
I bought a newEB-F1A2GBU battery again yesterday just to see whether this new battery works out for me or not.. Ans surprisingly it dint turn off my phone at 37-38% but as soon as i connected my charger with the phonr, the phone turned off and gave me unlimited number of boots showing battery cycle rotating and disappearing!
I have also checked amazon.in but they also dont offer the oem battery. They sell extended batteries of 3650mAh for my model but they are just too expensive. It costs 3000rs,which isnt affordable!
Now if i dont get a L1A2GBA battery, i'll have to sell my phone out!

How is it not compatible? It is 3.7V and says i777 in the description?
ya i know that but its not right!
Ya its says so but the actual battrry for i777 is EB-L1A2GBA. It is slightly different from this EB-F1A2GBU model.
My phone Reboots again and again while charging on inserting this F1A2GBU battery.
hi anshul...i am from mumbai and o can help you. pm me
thankks

If the battery is compatible with the I777, maybe the problem is not the battery? Do you know anyone with an I777 so you can try their known good battery as a test, or try your EB-F1A2GBU model battery in their phone to see what happens?
not possible buddy
Yeah this idea striked even my mind but my bad luck, none of my friend or relative has sgh i777 phone.. Everyone has an indian model of s2 i.e I9100

It doesn't matter. It will still work with your phone. That is just the model number of the battery, and it doesn't determine compatibility in this case.

Ya bro but if i keepnusing this battery then it shuts down my phone when it reaches around 30-40%. And if i buy new EB-F1A2GBU battery then it reboots again and again while charging. It gets into a continuos boot loop.
Now i guess i'll have to either adjust up with this problem or sellnout the phone at a cheaper rate!

I've been looking for a spare battery and battery charger for my Telus GSM Hero but all of the ones I found say they're for the Sprint version. I'd like to get OEM if possible, or the highest quality standard capacity ones. Does anyone know where to buy these?
Hey,
Not wanting to promote any site orso but i bought an charger + battery upgrade from this site :
http://www.oddsandpods.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=hero&x=0&y=0
Hope it helps.
look on ebay, they have tons for really cheap (including shipping).
i got an oem battery for ~$6(including shipping) for my telus hero shipped to edmonton.
chargers should be ~$3 or less (did not order as i have a few of these already from various electronics)

Which one works with the Telus Hero? Is it one of these - http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-BATTERY-For...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item5885d6d4e7 or http://cgi.ebay.com/for-HTC-HERO-TO...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item439d46186d ? It says "Hero G3" and I thought the Hero was the G2.
In some markets, I believe the Magic was called the G2. As long as it's a GSM Hero battery you should be fine.

Dave
My friend just said the battery for the GSM Hero is exactly the same as the Sprint Hero's, anyone know if that's true?

no sure about this part...
if your not getting an OEM battery, you can just get a GSM hero battery just to be safe?
but as for the OEM hero battery, look at the pictures supplied by the seller and they should show the battery part number (ie for my telus hero - Part no. 35H00121-05M) and look exactly like the one you have.

I know, I've been trying to do that, for example if you search on ebay "gsm hero battery" there are only 4 results (whereas there's hundreds that say "sprint"). Also "gsm hero battery charger" has no results.

LOL, 2nd result from searching 'htc hero OEM' @ Approximately C $5.43(including shipping)...
and for the battery charger, same thing, try "htc hero battery charger":
here's the cheapest result (including shipping) @ Approximately C $4.06 (including shipping). but i suggest if you getting one of these, you might as well just get the phone dock (dock for phone) that also has a battery charger.

No it isn't. Since the Sprint Hero battery is 1550 mAh, I asked Sprint Hero owners to confirm the physical dimensions of their batteries, and it turns out that the Sprint Heros battery is slightly wider so wouldn't fit in a GSM Hero.

Dave

Thanks for finding that battery. For the charger, how do you know if that's the right one for the GSM and not the Sprint version?

here if you give them your defective motherboard you can have a 50$ discount so theoretically you canbuy a new motherboard for 139$
Bummer, you can buy a used s2 for a little more than this.
8000 INR , but i had mine replaced for 5000 INR (without bill) from a sammy service centre

I live in jeddah, can I ship it to cochin and ask them to repair it at the same cost, no service centers here that might assist with the low cost replacement. Do you have their address and number?
I have a fried motherboard too, gave it to the service center guys here in Jeddah and they say that it will cost me more than what it would to buy a used S2
Probable cause (cause and effect, not necessarily correct from a technical perspective)
I think it could have been my car charger that might have fried it... assuming that i did see once that the battery dropped from 70% to 40% after i connected the charger and I was foolish enough to connect it when the phone was completely out of battery... yeah tell me about it. I purchased another battery too.. original with the hologram and everything but after a week or so the phone would just not boot up.
hi
if you ask me!!! your galay s2 its useless so you gona start thinking to buy an galaxy s3!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can u tell me how much time is required to replace the MOTHERBOARD of Samsung Galaxy S2 ...and what's the waiting time to get the delivery of the phone ..coz i also faced the problem with my GS2 a week ago and it's been a week till now still not received the phone from service center.........and they updated my delivery status after installing a motherboard ........ a phone require overwrite...does it require a overwrite or not?.......... and if require how much time it takes.....This problem all happens only when I was updating my phone to official jellybean update and while rebooting the phone stucked on Welcome Screen the one with(SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GT-I9100G)........Pls.HELP !!!!...The Service Centre also took a time of 3-4 days to get the part from it's office....
You have two choices re: motherboard replacement -
1) Samsung/service centre - New motherboard, retain original IMEI in most cases/dependant on country (Most expensive option).
2) Search eBay/elsewhere online for a 2nd hand motherboard (you do see them on their own occasionally), or more likely look for a broken phone (screen broken but otherwise OK, for example) you can take the motherboard from. You can either replace this yourself if you feel confident enough, or you can pay a local mobile repair shop to swap this motherboard for the dead one on your phone (Cheapest option). With this option your IMEI will change to that of the phone the board came from, which is no big deal normally (Do not try to restore your old IMEI via an EFS backup restore, fair chance you'll bork your phone if you do).
Samsung will not sell you a new motherboard on it's own. If an authorised service centre sells you a new one without them doing the labor of replacing the old one, you're very very lucky & Samsung would probably chuck a fit if they found out.
Costs will obviously vary widely whichever option you chose, dependent on country normally.

I was charging my GS3 and after unplugging it, I proceded to turn tethering on, and then put it in my pocket for 5 seconds. I took it out and it had turned off by itself. I cant turn the GS3 back on, either by the power button or using recovery mode. I have tried removing battery for a minute and then holding the power button for 20 seconds but no luck. Nothing at all happens when i plug the charger in, and I have left it in for 30 minutes and the device still wont boot.
Can anybody sugest what I can do to boot the device?
I have had no previous problems like this and im running stock firmware with no root. Im using a mac and not partitioned the drive to install windows and then odin, but I can do so if required.
What firmware are you using in this phone ? (Number if you can find it).
What is the phone ? Galaxy S3 International (GT-I9300) with 16GB inside ?
Perhaps a Sudden Death Symdrom for you with a total death...
Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133401
First try another charged battery, yours may have just failed. Also check the battery terminals aren't bent or broken.
If it is still dead with a known good battery then looks like a warranty repair is required.
I cant find out the firmware unless I can get back on the phone :/ Yes its an I9300...
The bttery, I will try and find another GS3 owner but I dont think I can find any. Ill have a look into the thread also thanks for the info

Some device (Galaxy S3 with 16GB of internal storage memory) have a problem with the memory chip. So, if you are running a Jellybean 4.1.2 firmware, samsung have fix the bug and you are cover (so it's not a SDS problem).
But if you phone have an old firmware, you may be affected by this trouble. If it's your case, the unique solution is to put your phone on a repair center.
first, try a different battery. if that fails - send it to service for a motherboard replacement

Ive tried using a different battery and that doesnt seem to work either. The other GS3 works perfectly fine with my battery inside which suggests its a problem with my handset...
How can i find a dealer to send my unit to? I used to flash custom ROMs to the device but went back to stock 7 months ago when I left the UK to travel Australia, and did not reset the binary counter so it wont be covered by warranty
Since its dead they can't see binary counter. Best bet, send it to friend in uk for samsung repair...
I assume you have some sort of electronic copy of a receipt?

Ive currently got my mum looking for the physical receipt. I could try and get an electronic proof of useage from Vodafone who I bought the phone from but problably not a "receipt".
Dont really want t send my phone back to the UK, it wil be expensive and Im not sure when im returning home, so it may be quicker/cheaper to either take home myself or to try get it sorted here :/

If it's a contract phone, contact vodafone directly, probably won't need a receipt.
Is shipping a small package that expensive? Cheaper than a motherboard I bet

Shipping my phone would be expensive as I would have to have buy insurance, maybe $20 or something?

Cheaper than £150 GBP / $250 AUD for a used motherboard then Which by having it fitted, will void your 2 years EU warranty
Yeah, you are right. I think im just going to wait until I get back to the UK in a few months and send it off. I would get it done when i go to Asia next week but I am not staying in one place long enough - im guessing it would take a few weeks from sending it in to getting it back?
Also, I dropped my phone a few month back and the screen is all damaged but still useable. Samsung will still fix the problem I take it and not refuse to due to the damaged screen?
Hi, today I went to a trusted shop and bought a i9100 battery, I did not noticed that it was actually a i9100p battery. There is a Near field communication label Btw i9100p is not avaible for my country, how come Anyways, i put the battery in and it works since 15 minutes before, but i'm not sure, will it harm my phone, or just work flawlessly.
I just noticed, it DOES NOT fit well in i9100, because it is significantly thicher than the original battery, I went to the store where I bought it and they replaced it instantly, and put away all the i9100p batteries which is labelled i9100.
Do not use i9100p battery on i9100, because it is much more thicher than the original and back cover dont fit well.
You went to a "trusted" shop in Turkey.
What are they trusted in.....selling kebabs,as it cant be mobile phones/accessories if they done that to you.

I said trusted, because there is no fake oem replacement parts, also cheap enough, but how could they sell a i9100p battery to me in Turkey. It was wierd. Btw he gives unlimited warranty for things that are not too expensive, he puts the shops label on items and it something stops working, just go and replace it instantly. Once, I bought a MHL to HDMI adapter and it was flickering, I brought it back and instant change, no question at all Other things that I bought works flawlessly so far.
I wonder if it works the other way...? I have a I9100P and I wonder if I can insert a I9100 battery. never had the occasion to try it
Maybe the guy has an internet business and stocks what sells.But if he exchanges stuff he seems ok then.

Sorry for a bit of necro-posting, but this is coming up as a prominent post so I figured I'd respond.
I just recently got a great price on a new battery for my Photon. I don't know where this company ships, so you'll have to look into that yourselves (or whomever else reads this).
(Bah.. I have too few posts, so this is not allowing me to post external links. The site is www .a4c. com (without spaces) and you can go search for "Motorola HF5X battery" to bring up the couple products I saw)
At the time of this posting, they had the battery for $2.95 each, as well as an option to get a wall charger and battery for $4.95. Great prices and delivery/service was excellent.
To be clear, the battery is "HF5X" model.
