Since AT&T's model has the thicker NCF 1650mah battery by default I'm thinking that the Korean NFC 2000mah package may fit since that is probably what the AT&T GSII build may likely be based on since the AT&T version has NFC and is a mm or so different in size vs the international version, similar to the Korean SGSII version and how the international version can't handle the Korean kit (the 2000mah NFC battery fits, the back doesn't).
What would be interesting to know is if the international battery kit back fits the Korean GSII's since we know the Korean battery kit back does not fit the international GSII, and from what I've seen on the internet the AT&T version can not use the international kit (probably due to the back but the battery may still fit).
If anything I hope its just the back of the AT&T GSII that is incompatible with the international GSII cause if the battery and the back is different in size then I'll be really pissed cause that would mean that AT&T has a totally different size from all the rest of the GSII's which could make buying accessories really slim picking, one of the main reasons why I held out over the AT&T variant over the Sprint version was the similarities with the international version which means more accessories to choose from. So HOPEFULLY the Korean kit works.
Another option is to look at the batteries for the Indian version of the GSII since it supposedly has NFC as well but I have not seen anything on it. And of course we could just wait for AT&T and Samsung bring out the 2000mah battery kit for the AT&T GSII but I'd be surprised if they have any plans on doing that anytime soon if at all since Samsung will be busy with the Nexus and AT&T will be busy with their upcoming QHD and HD phones.
It's just a hunch but I went and ordered the Korean NFC 2000mah battery kit from exportprive for $35 USD (plus $20 USD "express" shipping) over the weekend along with a couple of those charger stands ($13 USD each) and I guess they will ship it soon so I'll be the guinea pig for testing the Korean battery kit and the AT&T GSII, wish me luck !
That is a lot of typing for a battery ha ha..jk
Look forward to seeing if this works if so I'll follow suit.
From reading the general SGSII 2000 mAh thread, I believe as long as it's "NFC" it will fit our phone.
After all that hassle, it will suck if the 2000mAh batteries have less capacity than the 1650mAh batteries due to Samsung's standards over cheap battery mfrs...

Reports so far from people using the 2000mah batteries on the international GSII are calling it a 20%+ gain in battery life along with better cooling due to different back and overall good looks without much of an addition in thickness with the phone being around the thickness of the Captivate after the battery and back are installed. If it works I think it will be a great addition to an already great phone.
Ah, just got a response from exportprive that explains the situation:
Hi,
The EB-K1A2EBSG is the Korean version of the EB-K1A2EBEGSTD, and was supposed to be compatible with all Galaxy S 2 versions. However, it turns out that only the back plate is incompatible, and only fits the Korean Galaxy S 2. In fact, the 3 top left grooves (with the outside of the back plate facing you) are aligned differently by just a few millimeters, which bends the case when trying to insert it in your device. We apologize for any inconvenience, and offer you the following alternatives to solve this problem:
1. A refund for this item (or a credit of the same amount).
2. A partial refund of $6 USD per item if you wish to keep it as an extended battery (which is an NFC version).
We are open to any other suggestions. Please let us know what you wish to do.

I wonder how much trouble it would be to get an extended back for the AT&T version to fit this back? Seeing how the 2000mah NFC batteries aren't as easy to come by as the even more hard to come by regular international 2000mah batteries.
I would hate for someone to be a guinea pig but I'm going to wait till someone tries it on the US version.
I await to see how this plays out. I would love to have the larger battery

I cancelled my order, the battery does fit but then the replacement back to go with the battery doesn't. Hopefully Samsung will put this kit out for the AT&T version .

I wonder if there's a non-Samsung door that will work.
I got this battery with a dock charger and it works fine but when I plug it in to anything (computer/usb or power/usb) it freezes the phone and makes it cycle the battery charging/phone off symbol while the battery(?) makes a very quiet clicky sound. Not good. So I started charging it on the dock (came with a spare battery charging slot) and carrying it as an extra. It works fine, just don't charge your precious AT&T Galaxy S2 with it.
I did the shot at this angle so you could see the contacts, I saw some mention of it. My bad on the upside-down hah.
All questions concerning an AT&T version seem to be ignored in the international version thread...has anyone found one that fits our version??
The 2000 mAh battery for the international Galaxy S 2 should work on the AT&T version since the back appears identical.
the backs appear identical, however the international version is not NFC capable and therefore that battery will not be the same. but i agree that the I9100 thread seems to ignore any comments about the I777. wth.
I just bought the 2000 mah batter from Ebay and it has the NFC label on it. Of course, I have the international version and it doesn't fit. For those that have the US version, PM me if you'd like to buy it. I'm in the SF Bay Area, CA.

I just posted about the extended battery I recieved yesterday. It is a 2600MAH battery from a company called TruCell. I took a risk because they were the only company I found on the web selling a battery specifically for the AT&T model. Funny on Ebay it said for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 but whe I look at the battery it says for the I9100. In any case the battery and the case fits perfectly. Phone is heavy as all get out but If It gives me an extra 4 to 5 hours of heavy use then I am perfectly fine with it.
what did that monster cost you???

Hi, I'm quite familiar with the SGS2 and rooting, Oc/uv, voltage control, custom toms, etc.
I just rooted my dad's wifi only 10.1, and installed galaxy task 10.
One of the reasons I did so was to decrease the charging time of the tab on stock ROM. Unfortunately, it's the same thing with the custom rom.
What else can I do to decrease charging time? Are there specific kernels that are charging optimized and stable? Do 10.1 wifi only roms and kernels support voltage control and if yes, what settings would you suggest?

Sounds awesome, but I don't think anyone has done anything with that yet. Maybe one of the ROM devs, but I've never seen anything.
best way to charge faster is to turn off the tab

I think the battery drain, slow charging and occasional lag on the 10.1 is holding it back.
I don't like the ipad and I hate apples business model, but I have to say it's a sleeker tablet atm.
I thought custom roms and kernels and rooting might address this issue with the 10.1 and unleash its true potential

Agreed the tab is slow to charge, but honestly, even with heavy use, streaming audio, browsing, playing games, downloading, etc I can get 1.5 or so days off a full charge. Definitely can't do that with any smartphone I've had.
And even though we're OT with the performance of the Tab and what's holding it back, I really think the Tegra 2/Honeycomb Rom are what are holding it back. It's not a good combo and neither of the two are impressive by themselves, let alone put together.

I got the 10.1 for my dad as a birthday gift. He loves it and takes it everywhere and loves showing it off to my ipad toting relatives.
But his chief complaint is how long it takes to charge. Sometimes he doesn't use it as much as he'd want to cause it takes so long to charge.
I just rooted his phone and installed galaxy task 10, so I'll see if that helps charging a bit.
Too bad I can't use voltage control to increase charging current. I've looked around the subforum and there's no information on kernels that support voltage control.
With regards to the lag issue, that's more my concern. Compared to my SGS2 which is buttery smooth even with many widgets and live wallpapers, the 10.1 just seems to struggle so much more. With the stock ROM, the tablet was almost impossible to use with a live wallpaper. Compared to my friend's asus transformer, it is still laggy too, leading me to believe it's probably a rom or tw ui issue.
Task 10 has improved the lag issue immensely but it is still there.

It depends on the appliances that are being fed by the dual plugs. 5 hairdryers are not a good idea. 5 Galaxy Tabs are no problem. Just add the amps of all appliances and don't overload the fuse or either of the plugs.
The charging time depends on the capacity of the battery divided by the amperage of the charger. The battery of the SGT holds 7Ah (=7000mAh), the charger delivers a maximum of 2A. Under ideal conditions it would take 7Ah / 2A = 3.5 hours to charge the completely empty battery. Since battery charging processes are never ideal (current drops during charging cycle) this time will be exceeded. This is a fact that can't be addressed by software. It's physics. More than 2A via standard USB-Plugs and wiring are "not advisable". So Samsung set the specs accordingly.
The "voltage control" you are talking about changes processor voltage and not charging aspects. You might be able to get half an hour more battery lifetime out of the tab but you're not going to speed up charging.

Thanks for the informative post.
One correction though, voltage control can change charging current aside from other things if the Kernel supports it.

So I think there's a rule about 'this device vs that device', so I'm not trying to start one of those threads.
I've done quite a bit of reading and the issue seems to be that reviews are VERY inconsistent with the latest flagships when it comes to battery life. For example, the Galaxy S6 has a smaller battery but the only half decent testing I could find rates it's life as better than the HTC M9 and the LG G4. So really not that bad...? But some reviewers on youtube have said things like 'The LG G4 has noticeably better battery life'. I understand mileage may vary but surely if most tests put the S6 above the others then it should come out as better *most* of the time?
Essentially, I have an HTV One M8, and the battery life has been great for me. Really, really great. Is the S6 likely to be significantly worse? I can remember my Nexus 4 was abysmal, no matter what I did it was a real struggle to get through a day (With a rooted phone running greenify and trying various kernels, battery saving apps etc)- I never want to go back to worrying about my phone battery like that.
So, is there a 2015 flagship worth buying with this in mind? Or should I wait for the next batch?
PS I dont care about charge time or removable batteries. Lets assume I'm travelling for days at a time with charger access only at night, and can't carry spare batteries (because if I wanted to do that, I could just as well carry a USB battery pack).

From what I've seen, the S6 doesn't have stellar battery life, but it's not poor either. Average. Look at Sony, but last year's models, the Z3 and Z3 Compact. They're extremely capable, they don't have battery-hogging QHD screens, and no overheating Snapdragon 810. Or, if you want to wait for the next batch, grab a OnePlus One for cheap to use in the meantime.
I had a previous model of this unit which was at the old "slow" charge rate and was so pleased to get the new and improved version. They even fixed the few issues I had with the older version. This model has the charging cable in back instead of sticking out the side, the LED indication light is much dimmer, although larger, which makes it easy to see where to place the phone in a dark room and not act like a flashlight while trying to sleep.
The display angle is acceptable, it works well through a case, although I haven't tried a Defender case yet and the fit is more secure than even the Samsung charger..
The unit uses a microUSB connector and a 2.1A adapter, not included.

I have a fake wireless samsung charger but my phones gets a bit hotter then when i use my cable to charge so i stopt using my wireless charger. How hot does your phone get because i doubt that there is a fan inside your charger so hope you can awnser me.
I just wanted to chime in since I own this device too.
I've tested out on several devices even for those without supporting native wireless charging (one plus 3, iphone 5s and such) and surprisingly, this thing can charge other devices really well.
I own many wireless charging devices but never had one like this on a stand. this thing can charge my phones while streaming videos.
I'm getting ready to jump over to S8 or S8+ when available and I think this charger is a good place to get ready since it supports fast wireless charging as well.
this charges iphone with a wireless charging receiver. it charged iphone about 75% in 60 min. i know it's a small battery but it goes as fast as regular charging block that comes with.
and it can charge on both horizontal and vertical. good way to stream while charging your device (but slowly charges)
and One plus 3 for work

it is quite cool, no excessive heating or anything. it is warm to touch but nothing like you can't keep your fingers on it. battery temperature stays relatively cool while charging. it stays around 35C according to 3C battery monitor widget.

Yea, the reason i went for the s7 was because it had a homebutton and no curved screen but now that the S7 has curved on all screen and no homebutton i really think ill change phone brand again because i really hate onscreen buttons on my phone before the s7 which was a z5 xperia. But dont you have nougat installed? I think the battery life got so much better with that update that i might stay with the s7 for a extra year and hope the homebutton will return on the s8 or maybe under the screen but it should always be on the fron and not on the back.
But to get back at the subject, i saw that you own one of these chargers also right? Does the phone get hot while charging?
I replied with your quote above on my first comment. charger itself gets warm but not hot to touch. My s7 battery temperature doesn't go above 35°C during the charge. I'll post another screenahot via battery monitoring tool when I get home to charge.
I think they positioned their coils pretty much flushed to our phones in either position for optimal charging.
I know the flat puck chargers don't have indicator of correct position so if slight off to center get your phone hot. Don't really have to worry for this one since it has a tray to put down your phone.
I'm getting stand/tilt wireless chargers from now on because just by not worrying about getting right in the center is totally worth it.

nice wireless charger!!!
After reading this thread I have now got this great charger. It charges with a thick cover on the phone.
Bought it. Design cool, led is not too bright in dark, it's easy to use both in horizontal and vertical stand.
But, I could not get it to charge it fast, it's always showing standard charging (ampere says 500mA on average, so a standard usb current). I tried two chargers, one is Samsung rated at 1.8A and the other is 2A. I use slim Ringke case and tried charging with and without it on.
OK, I tried another charger, the official one for S7, and this one DOES support Fast Wireless Charging. The reason is that the charger support Fast Adaptive Charging. So be vary, having just a 2.0A charger doesn't guarantee fast charging, it needs to have FAC support.
Hello Guys, i want to know to know if i can Turn off Fast charging - because i want to have a longer Battery Life,
Also i know that IT IS Kernel related and also i could Change the Adapter too..
I Just want to know if there is a way to turn it of Kernel wise.
Why would you want that? It's only charging fast 0-50%, later on it slows down. If you really want to save battery, charge it as often (and short) as possible. If you needed to charge it quickly, you'd regret crippling the charging speed.

Exactly. Silly to turn it off. It's a benefit.
But if you really don't want to use it, just don't use a Quick Charger plug. Get some "normal" charger plug like for a flip phone.
We have tons of people asking why is my phone not quick charging (usually because it's in the last 20%, where it doesn't charge as fast), and instead you want to cripple that feature?
Or people ask why does this phone have QuickCharge 2.0 charger instead of QuickCharge 3.0 charger?
But you want NO QuickCharge. OK.
Just don't use a QuickCharge chargers. You can get "regular" chargers on eBay for like $2 or $3, because no one else wants them. Even QuickCharge are only about $5 if you know where to look, but you don't want those.

But you want NO QuickCharge. OK.
Just don't use a QuickCharge chargers. You can get "regular" chargers on eBay for like $2 or $3, because no one else wants them. Even QuickCharge are only about $5 if you know where to look, but you don't want those.

I only need quick charge when I'm in a hurry. When I'm at home I have two phones and would want to load my V30 slowly, so that the battery can Last really long. what does it matter to me if my mobile phone charges up very quickly but loses its capacity over time?
an option to de-activate Q-Charge if you need it or not would be optimal for me
You can always use Qi wireless charging pads for slow charging, then plug in when you need QuickCharge.
Plus there's tons, hundreds, of inexpensive "regular" plug chargers on eBay or other online sites.
To be honest, in my opinion I don't think a dev is going to waste time trying to disable something that is useful and everyone wants. People complain when they aren't QuickCharging, not when they are.
Plus, that would be so hard to track down if someone accidentally disabled QuickCharge.

Samsung has given that option built in whether to use or not fast charging capabilities

Show me a screenshot of that on Samsung stock ROM. My sister's S6 doesn't have that on her Samsung phone. Or I've never seen it.

OK just researched and see Samsung added it with Marshmallow to some phones. But since I think It's a somewhat silly idea, I would never go looking for it.
S7 edge, S8+ and note 8 have.

I agree, I would not disable it. I'm using the Samsung convertible wireless fast charger that Samsung gave away with Note8 pre-orders on my V30. Yes I know it doesn't fast charge the V30 but it charges it in fairly quick amount of time.

When asked questions, I try to give facts as I know them.
Sometimes I give my fact-based opinion.
Sometimes I just give my opinion, based on experience.
Point is, messing with Android for the past 8 years, I've found...
Not everything an OEM does is smart. Like removing headset jacks or making batteries smaller.
Not everything users ask for is smart. I remember a few years ago on Nexus 5 (which had a too small battery) one user kept asking how to REMOVE the battery indicator from the status bar on an AOSP ROM. They didn't want to see battery percentage whatsoever in the status bar, and were quite adamant about it to developers. I guess so they could be TOTALLY SURPRISED when their phone suddenly died? I don't know. It didn't make any sense.
