My phone is Un rooted and maybe thats why its not acknowledging the new battery? So im not sure im getting extended time ?

Has your battery seemed to last longer than the stock one?
Is it bigger/thicker?
Also straight user with at&t sim here so I'm wondering how the 9005 model is doing for you in terms of 4G lte speed and data
I have the AT&T n900a model and was considering picking up the 9005 instead

The battery is thicker yes. And does seem to last longer but just don't register as if it's there on my Non-Rooted system.
No 4G where im at. In the country and Verizon seems to have the market.
I do like the phone tho, have had since Feb 2015.
tried calibrating it? using apps like Snapdragon battery guru???

Nope I haven't; not familiar with that one. Does it require Rooted phone?
But would this app tell me if my bigger battery is into play or reconized? Maybe that don't matter but following time remaining I suppose.
Currently I use Battery Doctor.
No root required

Havent played with extended batteries yet as I am waiting for mine to be delivered.
But when my battery life was terrible Snapdragon BatteryGuru solved the issue (it'll make sure your battery is fully charged)
Also give it 3 or 4 cycles (charge fully and discharge to 10-15% and again repeat).

I have at Samsung focus flash, and I think the batteries are identical. I accidentally received galaxy s2 battery instead of the one for my lg thrill about 2 months back, and just got the focus flash and the extended battery fits.
Was just wondering if the galaxy s2 batter model number is:
EB484659VA
To make sure that my extended battery will work properly.

Anyone did that from the i9300? Ram issues per say? 1gb ram is really too little and i've just bought the official extended batt and case. Kind of a waste if i just swap to an s4 or a note 2..
sell the phone with the battery and get an i9500. no use buying a i9305 at this point

Waiting for the s4 to drop its price. Still hanging on to the s3 though. Only gripe is the lack of ram on the non lte version..
Hey guys, so I just bought a used lg g3, which looks like its brand new actually. It's the tmo d851 version. I was wondering where I can buy a spare oem battery? I don't mind paying a bit more to know that's its a legit battery and not some fake one. I also wanted to know if anyone knew if batteries are interchangeable between different versions of the g3?
Yes they are interchangable. My T-mo G3 has the same battery model as my Korean G3 Cat6.
Have you tried asking your local t-mobile and other carriers?

OK that's good to hear. No I haven't asked. I've done a search on their websites but they all say out of stock or don't even carry it. I decided to try a 3rd party OEM. I got an anker brand 3000mah battery on amazon and so far so good. Battery last as long or longer than original battery. Probably because its new. Now I'm just trying to figure out what I could get to carry the spare battery. Anyone know of a spare battery case that's slim enough and pocketable?
Returning my Exynos version off the back of disappointing battery life I've experienced, real shame as I love the phone but can't handle having to nurse it through a day.
Has anyone tried importing an American version of the S9+? Looks like it's possible to get one for under £700 on Amazon.
Not too fussed about the locked bootloader but was wondering if anyone has any real world experience of both the exynos and SD variants and their relative battery performance/ any other quirks (I.e. wouldn't be eligible under warranty)?
Hard to tell from the forums as everyone's usage differs but generally speaking the SD seems to have a significant advantage. (Have also closely followed anandtechs work but more interested in people's real-world performance)
I have the Latin America/Hong Kong Dual SIM Snapdragon 845 version (SM-G9650/DS) and the battery life is not that good but is enough for me.
I've returned my UK exynos to very due to battery life and call dropouts. Liked the phone tho.
Just purchased a 256gb g9650 on eBay from France for £690 which seemed like a good deal. Hopefully it will be better.

Any1 knows the way to import the dual sim unlocked SD version to India? EBay, Amazon, aliexpress were of no help.
This is a shame, Was thinking of picking one up from O2 again. Had it for a week before the p20 and it seemed fine

It seems they have only the sim free versions, won't help that in India. Anyways thanks for the response.
If you have to go SD845 get the 9650 https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_...R5.TRC0.A0.H0.Xg9650.TRS0&_nkw=g9650&_sacat=0

re
isnt the sd better in battery life ? i thought it was from what i been reading. I also thought that it came with an unlocked bootloader
I have both (exynos on Three uk and SD on USA T Mobile). I would say that the SD marginally had better battery life but since three rolled out an update last week the battery life between the two has been more or less the same. This makes me think the exynos just has a badly tuned cpu governer and software updates will even out the gap...
Also I would recommend against the SD models in the UK unless you can unlock the bootloader and root etc or you will be stuck with a firmware and CSC that won't support carrier aggregation LTE, WiFi & calling. Had this issue with a Hong Kong imported S8 Plus last year and changing CSC was buggy as hell...
Hey Guys,
I just had to buy another v60 because I had purchased an AT&T version while using T-Mobile. The phone works until July when Tmo phases outs some legacy bands. So I bought a proper T-Mobile LG V60. I went all out and bought a genuine new one and its great but I noticed it weighs A LOT LESS than my previous AT&T. Its weighs 7.6oz, which matches specs, so I'm not worried, but its my older AT&T I'm wondering about, it weighs 8.2oz! I always thought it was heavy and just attributed it to the 5000mah batt. Can anyone with an AT&T confirm that theirs is also that heavy(8.2oz)??
It's possible that the difference in weight is due to the modem (i. e. CDMA vs. GSM, if that applies). Other than that, I don't know what else could be the cause.

Ok thanks for the input. It's like a brick compared to my new phone. It even stays cooler longer because of the extra mass when charging. I've searched the forums, reddit and Google and can't find any reference to the extra weight. I guess you wouldn't notice unless you had bought two different versions of the phone though.
