Good News for Alpha Owners - Bigger Battery !!! - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

In researching the two weaknesses of the Alpha Vs. Z3 Compact I discovered
this.
http://www.expansys.ie/zoompic.aspx?i=268141
A 2500 Mah Battery and Backplate from Samsung for Alpha .
Same price as a spare Samsung smaller Battery !
Assume the Camera will be more flush to Backplate.
So what would SOT be with 2500 Mah Battery ?
Another good thing is no SD card but all Media can be backed up
and run off a USB Thumb Drive etc. apparently without loading using
USB OTG.
So the gap narrows between Z3 C and Alpha and Alpha feels really
durable, will check Z3C in Sony Store soon but unlocked Bell Canada
Alpha may be more practical for me .

let me know if u get one

I wonder how it will look. I hope they do a better job than their Qi backplate!

I'm really excited about the the bigger (thicker) battery and no more protruding camera
Google it if you want to see the back plate (I can't post any link yet)

Sorry there's only the back cover picture though, but I'm pretty sure it'll make the camera no longer protruding, although not as thick as the (ugly) wireless charging back cover

is that kit available already?

Nice battery kit!!We have any pic with the new battery case?

did anyone order this already?

I was about to order it, but I don't think making the phone bulkier (thus making a lot of phone cases useless) for 700 mah. That's not even a 50% increase...
If it were 2800 mah or 3000 or something, then I might consider it (though I can't imagine how thick(d) it would be since the battery is very skinny (w))
Either way thanks for the post, if this could get the phone to about 48 hours daily use I would consider it (i'd get about 52 hours out of my HTC when it was new but it had a less demanding screen and 2600 mah battery).
Will wait for results, currently as it stands I can barely get 24 hours out of my phone with casual gaming and websurfing. Thank god it charges extremely quickly at least

It's not released yet. But if it has 1/3th more capacity, it's save to say it will give you 1/3 more uptime.
Looking at the backplate it will be about 3 mm thicker than the original one, making the camera flush with the plate, imho it will still look nice and original.
If that is not enough there's still the "zero lemon" which is also coming to this phone.

It will give you approximately 1 hr and 20 mins of screen on time with 40% brightness and moderate use.
So i would say not bad since i'm averaging 4 hrs of screen on time + that extra mah will give me at least 5 hrs+ sot... hope they will release it soon.

I have not decided on Alpha vs Z3 C yet but this makes
one of the weaknesses a bit better on Alpha.
5 to 5.5 hours SOT sounds pretty good.
I hope the back is flush with Camera with this Kit -
Because if it still not flush I will think WTF,
room for a 2800 Mah ? Lol.

oh bee
çabuk bitiyodu pil ,iyi oldu bu batarya.
istanbulda nerden temin edicezz ?

hi m8
I just fiid on aliexpres Alpha replacement battery with 2.500 -2800mAh
are somebody used this battery before,pls shere your expiriance
link1
link2

Beware hensk, because in those implementations (cheap chinese, mass producted),
the nominal mah, is muuuch muuuch different from the...actuall
for example if nominal is 2500mah, i seriously doubt if the actuall is beyond... 2000-2100 max

Thanks for the advice м8

nice one citymen,
dunno about you guys, but i get the felling that this device
is handling energy with a very efficient way, so, even if it has a small capacity bat. its not noticeable in everyday usage

Thank you.

Even existing standard cradle should be safe enough as it has current limit, it will take longer time to charge the battery, thats all.

Yes, you are right, but I'don't have a cradle and I'm using one of these
I was also eying for that one too. 3600 mAh, in case I bricked my battery tonight after modding. *cross your fingers*
^^ Briked the battery, classic! is it even possible?
how much time will it take to charge it.I bought the same battey
Do you bought this battery already? How long it takes to charge? Better, how long it last with normal use?
best regards
i have a 26oo mAh battery..It seems it takes a little more time to charge, and i use my pda2k for 5-6 day with 10-15 minuts of call, without using tom tom or other heavy program..
Bye bye

Hi, what means costum backcover? Can anyone put a picture of it?
i don't have that exact model. i have a 4200mah battery from ebay germany. but as you can see in the lousy quality photos (the universal really does not have a great cam) i posted as an attachment the battery itself sticks out a bit beginning about 5mm from the top and going to the very bottom, meaning, the device does not go in the cradle anymore. but it still fits the original casing. it is just 3mm thicker than the stock battery. i guess a 3600, 3200 or even 2600 battery would be even slimmer

I have that same battery now, got it from ebay for $6 with free shipping hehehehe, looks odd cuz the batt is so thick and heavy but it last...
$6? you are seriously making me jealous right now. i paid 30eur for that.

Don't care about price, 3500 mAh was so worth it for the Evo 4G
Damn!!! I wanna Jump on this right now, but Im gonna have to wait. I loved that 3500 for the 4G.
If I ever need'to jump start my car...whip out a 3vo and jumper cables..damn...how long will it take to charge..a week?..
Is this the same item but for $5 less?

The side pic is probably the ugliest thing I have ever seen
Lord have mercy, that thing is ugly...I'm sorry but I stayed away from the EVO one because it too was just over the top. But, it does look like it could jump my Duramax diesel truck
I went with the Yoobao for my old EVO, which served me well:
http://www.obostore.com/3500mah-extended-battery-for-htc-touch-evo-4g-sprint-p-517.html
I'll wait and see what these guys come out with, should look at least curved on the ends and not angled like the Seido; paid 20 bucks for the EVO battery and door, just sold it for 10 bucks to a buddy. Still lasted a full day even after a year.

I think the battery is so big because it relies on slightly outdated "Elf" technology.
For those not familiar with Elf batteries, the idea is simple: Inside the battery dwells a colony of friendly and industrious elves that work night and day to power your phone. Picture a light bulb powered by a hamster wheel, only with elves.
The upshot is that you can get great battery life, but in addition to charging you will periodically need to smear a small amount of peanut butter on the battery to feed the elves (this is detailed on page 4 of the battery's manual). Also, if you hear a folksy, quiet, yet haunting melody coming from your battery, that means it's working properly, so don't be alarmed.

Lol I don't know about where you live but I think Salvia was just banned here.
With the battery life were getting now I don't see the use of this monster, but when we get root I'm picking this badboy up and overclocking to the max! I'm gonna try my best to kill it. Imagine 2ghz all the time, hopefully we can go that high.

I suspect that this is the 3500 - it is advertised as 2X original battery life.
And, in that case it is the same price.

only problem with those batteries is its hit or miss if you get a good one. I ordered the same exact ones for my OG Evo (pack of 2 batts and 2 covers for 20 bucks) but only one would hold an "extended" charge. The other held like the OEM battery.
Usually, you get what you pay for, just keep that in mind

Bought the 4500mah TOTHL slim battery. Will review here if anyone interested

Bought it from eBay for around $17. My SOT is so bad, around 2:30 even after rooting, cloudy, wakelock and amplify. If I should do any kind test let me know.
I am LG G3 AT&T variant, unlocked.

If someone can confirm that this really works then I will definitely buy one
I will start testing from today. Wil report back soon.
Bigger capacity batteries can not be slim ,is all the people gonna say, even some cheap and bigger,size bigger capacity doesn't have bigger capacity.
Fired up this baby. Came with 56% charge. will charge it full.
Old phone SOT : http://m.imgur.com/EgM5jNs, http://m.imgur.com/bKlPF5y
GSM battery says it is 489mah http://m.imgur.com/sq7Kuks
I will calibrate the battery. Full charge now and drain it 3 times. I have not factory reset after installing cloudy. I will do that if the battery still drains. Someone suggested that in another thread.
Edit:2
Got two different kind capacity reading:
Phone Tester: http://m.imgur.com/KLmifNQ 3000mah

CPU-Z : 3000mah
You never win with cheap batteries. They might work okay for a few months but then start degrading rapidly, also I would bet money the battery isn't really 4,500mah. But for $17 you're not losing much.
You are right.
Only got SOT 1h 36ms since ast night and battery is already down to 31%. I have to calibrate my battery https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en I am draining my battery and changing it to 100%, calibrating with this app.

I have the same SOT in the same configuration. Its the ROM I guess. Other kernels didnt do any better. Learn to live with it (like I did ) if you like the rom.

Any updates on this? Mine just arrived home, I don't know if it is 4500mah, but it weights more. Anyway, if the worst scenario, it would be like an stock battery for only 18$ xD

3450 mAh battery: is it legit?

Ok, i think that my Moto G4 Plus battery is going down for good. I am planning on buying another one, and i started searching for a slightly bigger one. I found one for my Nexus 5, back in the day and it had a capacity of 2450 mAh instead of 2300.
Now i found one for this phone that is 3450 mAh. It is sold on Aliexpress on what it looks like an official store/seller from this Losoncoer brand. (???)
The capacity increase actually makes sense as it has a 15% increase from stock battery. My Nexus 5 enhanced battery had 7% increase and it was a smaller packaging, so i don't think it's THAT blatantly fake.
My only doubt is: is it stable enough? I don't plan to have this phone for many years yet, so a slightly less stable battery in the long time distance is ok to me if i can get a 15% more daily use NOW.
Have you guys heard of it? I couldn't find anything on google, let alone xda itself, but maybe i missed something.
Here is the link for the battery:

Once I bought battery for my Samsung galaxy s3 from other brand. Original battery was of 2100 mah but battery that I bought was of 2200 mah with same size. But the battery backup was actually less than original battery though it was of slightly higher capacity.
So if it cheap enough for you, you can just give it a try and share your experience. And it does not seems to be fake.
The "store" has less than 10 ratings...
There is a similar battery here too. They have misspelled the word "perfect" on the label.
I have bought several things on Alibaba. ALL of them had issues.
LE: On eBay I saw some so-called OE batteries, cheap, marked as "Engineering Sample". Those where not supposed to be sold, mfg date shows something like March 2016 or Dec 2016... basically old stock. Others don't even have a mfg date printed on them.
All Li-ion batteries start to "age" immediately after mfg, regardless if they are used or just shelved. I would stay away from those too.
Enjoy burning your house down...
Hey, the OP made me curious.
Since it is only $13 and since I have house insurance, I think I will buy one, just to test it
Well, I got mine today and I have replaced it. Seems OK for now, came with 56% charge, it charged fine. The box had a label with Production Date 01-22-2018, which is good (if true).
To remove the old battery I used a Torx #3 drive. I didn't re-apply the double-back sticky tape on back of the battery, I didn't have any and I don't see it's usefulness. Careful when "peeling" out the old battery, it "bends" very easy, it's mechanical resistance like a stronger putty, don't puncture it (when prying) under any circumstance!
Hmm.. I was actually looking for a new battery and was considering buying this.... after reading some of the comments, yes it seems it fits that definition of "too good to be true..."
If your high quality battery is called "Enhanced Business Batter" I wouldn't buy it. Batteries have a limit to their energy density and some cheap chinese firm that uses bing translator won't change that.
After a few days (two weeks) of testing, I appreciate that this new battery lasts about as long as my former 2 year old battery.
Well, $12 down the Chinese drain:

LG V20 10 to 12 Day Battery Life w/ Extended Battery (BATTERY MOD)

This is the reason I buy V20s.
Nobody realizes the value of an extendable battery..
I don't want a battery bank,
I don't want the latest processor,
I don't want a picture perfect camera
I want a good phone w/ all the normal smart phone things you'd ever need
But most importantly - I want it to be available when I need it.
I need to use GPS for 12 hrs straight w/ the brightness on 100% and still have enough battery for a few more days?
No problem.
I need to look something up at a random time & location OH NO is my phone charged!?
No problem, its always charged.
My phones battery is at 15% and I wont be home for a few hours, I'm getting a low battery warning!
No problem, you still have an entire day of battery before you actually need to charge it.
These screenshots of 10 Day Battery life and estimated 12 Days is using a 3 year old extended battery...
Why is there no more extended battery phones available?
Why does nobody make an extended battery for say the Samsung Xcover Pro?
Makes no sense imo its the only feature I care about now.
Almost all modern phones are more than good enough and continue to focus on features that make next to no difference from last years phone..
