Im looking for a bigger battery to fit the G3. Anyone been able too source one that isn't bootleg? If not, anyone been able to source a replacement battery and battery charger cheap? Id prefer the bigger battery if there is one
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221542499372&alt=web. I saw this. Who knows if it's legit.
Yeah I've seen them. Hoping someone here can tell me if its last longer then the stock battery. I don't care if it fails after 4-6mths st that price. I'll just cop another if it sctualy HAS longer OST
Don't think that there is any 3850mAh with same size as the original 3000, sounds like spoof.

Maybe true, if so does anyone have a way of sourcing a second battery?
I read some reviews of their other batteries and most said it felt like the stock battery. Oh well. No more or less screen or runtime. Why don't they just advertise that.

As I expected tho. I just wanna be able too hot swap the battery out
I'm hoping once we get custom roms we will start to see battery improvement. Sad but this is the longest I've run stock and it's only been a few weeks. Still love the phone though.
Yeh love the phone not the battery though. Custom roms? Sorry im new to android, wats that?

Hey I was Wondering If anyone out there could give me a few good pointers as to how I can make my Droid Eris faster...
Task manager... end apps you aren't using at the moment.
A task manager will not make much difference. Try searching for why you don't need one first before you go that route.
I agree. I used an app manager when I first got my phone but someone pointed me to an article about why you shouldn't use one. Now that I don't my phone is more stable.

Sell it and buy an Incredible when they come out next month.
Might just go that route myself if it's not stupid expensive.
It most likely will be.
The thing that worries me about the Incredible is the battery. It uses the same battery thats in the Eris...

Yes, but there are higher capacity batteries available. I've also heard they're going to underclock the processor, most likely for increased battery life. Don't know why they don't just put in a higher capacity battery. It's already got that big funky cover on the back.
Looking at the info:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/samsung-infuse-4g-vs-samsung-galaxy-s2-ultra-slim-phones-comparison
I wonder if the battery will work on the GSII to give some extra power?
Bloody good question mate, I'd like to know this as well but I think we'll need to wait for a review or for someone to get the Infuse 4G to see what the battery looks like.

Hmm the phone dimensions might indicate a large battery in dimensions but that could also just as well be the phone itself being larger due to the .2" larger screen?
I've asked Android Community guys who done the side be side comparison, will let you know shortly.
How nice would that be if it would fit, The phones "physically" are similar. maybe when at&t gets the phone ill go rip the battery out like a mad man and try it in my sgs2

WOW how did you get such good battery use?
I get only 12 hours and its dead. Only texting and some email and some web browsing. I'm running everything stock and have background syncing enabled
I also am charging the phone with the cables from my atrix, if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance
Damn, oh well worth a shot I guess

Well everyone has their own definition of "heavy usage".
Mine discharged in 3 hours of non-stop Tank Recon gaming yesterday (gave it to a group of kids), WiFI off, but all notifications on , like push for gmail, yahoo mail, talk, YIM, facebook, twitter, etc, and net-connected widgets updating.
Admittedly this was my second day with the phone, and the battery did not "optimize" itself yet, plus I did not tweak anything yet either.
HI ,
I'm willing to buy S II , but i heard there are some issues regarding the battery life is that true ? and if that is true any solutions for the short battery life , what are the most useful applications i must install after buying it ?
Thanks

Lool! All smartphones have a decent battery life, nothing amazing. Not really an issue but you do have to tweak your phone a bit to get the best out of it. Like kernels and freezing and removing something useless things . Hope i helped.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!

do you think better idea to stick to the official updates only? because i'll be new user and i dont wanna screw up my new phone..

for the time being yes. stick with official updates. then while you stick with official updates do your reading. take your time and read through out the threads. and when you feel confident enough to root then go ahead. but for now i suggest you stay stock.

i am coooollllll but anywhooooo i am just a noobie buddy....just common sense really kicks in when needed
i dont quite understand the ppl who buys android phones and doesnt modify it... i mean the only TRUE difference between iphone and sgs2 is powered by iphone iOS and Android.. which is open source... the other difference doesnt really matter much.. processor ( yea its more powerful but duuh.. there isnt much things to do that really require that much power) or the screen (duuh iphone has abit better screen so what? if u dont look closely u wont even see difference(atleast not me)) so yea if you gona buy sgs2 i RECOMMEND you to do alot of flashing and rooting and play with it around
WITH BACKUP of course... especially the EFS backup
It all depend how you use your phone. Sometimes I it for hours on end and go through 2-3 batteries a day (I have 3 spares).
Today I used it very little. About 7 phone calls, 2 messages and only about half an hour browsing / xda etc. Currently on 85% after 18 hours.
So usage makes a massive difference.

Actually , few phone calls may be total 15 min per day , but i will there will be a fair using for the WIFI may be 4-6 hrs per day , do you think this will effect much the battery performance?

With that usage aslong as you charge each night you should be fine, my usage is similar and i go to bed with 20%

do you think is there a need to change the Kernel version ? or just do the official update and it will be fine ?
Definitely stick to official updates. Regardless of what anyone might tell you, it's a fantastic phone running stock firmware. And if you're not confident about flashing custom roms/kernels (there's a small risk everytime you do it that things might go wrong/you might brick your phone), definitely stick to official firmware.
At the very least until you've done a lot of reading on here and are confident to try different roms/kernels. If things do go wrong, it might take you a few days of research on here to work out how to fix your phone (which means you won't have your phone working for that time), and at worst you'll have to return it to Samsung for repair. Which you'll probably end up paying for as running custom roms/kernels voids your warranty.
So slow and steady, stick with stock for a while and read. Then read some more. And when you're done doing that, read for another couple of months.

Sorry but got to disagree, yes its a great phone as stock but with custom ROM and kernels its an amazing phone. The devs here have done some amazing work. BUT (and its a big one) dont do a thing till you've researched your arse off, and you understand all the risks of what your doing.
Ricey
(woohoo 400th post)
Latest stocks have been fine, even stock kernels have shown improved battery life. But with a custom rom/kernel combination your setting up a phone the way you like it with many ways of tweaking it.
If you do buy one, update to latest stock, try it out, if your not happy then root and enjoy.
My post was an attempt to persuade the OP to stick to stock should he purchase an SGS2. The last thing we need on here is yet another " Hlap mai fone broked !" post :-/ (and everything that goes with it).

My wifi and GPS are on 100% of the time. I never turn them off. Today, 23 hours since charge and about 2 hours screen time and battery on 69%. But 3g is off (2g only) and no email sync.
Yesterday, heavy usage and went through at least 2 batteries.
BTW, since I got the s2 I've only ever used cf root kernals. Nice and stable for me and the closest thing to stock. Others claim increased performance or have over clocking etc don't interest me. I believe the phone doesn't need them. Also using Checkrom. On the S1, well that was different.

from past week my phone is discharging very quickly and I changed different roms but no use and my battery stats is proper and I think my battery life has gone .....and should I replace new battery ? if so which battery fits properly .....as I stay in India no vibrant here .......but i9000 is there.........
If calibrating doesn't work then your battery could be bad. Other than vibrant the i9000 and topic touch 4g batteries work with the vibrant. Try ebay or amazon for cheap batteries.
Have you read this nifty little thread right here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389069
Also, what rom are you running? I'm asking because if its anything JB, I wouldn't expect much in terms of battery life.
Also, what kind of usage does your phone get on a daily basis? Are you a light or a heavy user?
What kernel are you running? Which i/o scheduler and Governor are you running with?
OC? UV? The more info the better my friend ^^
There's all that too, much more helpful then my response. I just figured all the basics where tried already. I've had batteries mess up on me before. My original g1 battery got so bad that when I checked it, it was bloated.

Aha, both are helpful ^^ It's all pieces of the puzzle in my eyes lol
But if we can get a good idea of what the root of the problem is, we may be able to fix it without him having to buy a battery :]
I remember when I used to get 7 hours at best outta my phone, and I thought that was normal...but then I learned a few tricks, and
now I never get below an easy 24 hours on my phone, no matter what rom I am running. ^^
after calibrating it is working fine ..............thnx guys saved me from buying new battery

Sorry, i dont think that Android tracks that. You could ask his mobile provider how long this IMEI was in use. But i dont think that they will tell you that, because of privacy.
Have a nice day.

Yeah, I'm 70% sure. But if someone could prove the opposite to me, that would be great.
One question: Why do you want to know exactly how long the smartphone was used? (I know it's interesting to know, but is there another reason?)
You could determine the current capacity of the battery and then estimate how long it was in use. This is a very inaccurate method... So modern smartphones are designed for about 1000 charge cycles. That's about 3 years if you charge your smartphone every day.
Anyway, you can use AkkuBattery to find out. But you have to run the app for a few days to find out the current capacity of the battery. You can then compare this with the actual capacity and tell if the phone is old or new. The aging depends on many factors, the method is very inaccurate.
Have a nice day.
Ok, thanks...
Just to understand if I bought the phone at Good price or not..nothing more.. I think it could be interesting..
So check the battery isn't a Good solution ..
Thanks
