Hello,
I have Galaxy s2 (GT-I9100) but the problem is that it doesn't take charger, however, the phone is showing charging icon.
Everytime I have put my battery in universal battery charger & it take long time to charger my battery i.e 6 hours 60 % and 8 to 10 hours 100 % and then when I put battery in my mobile & use battery, It is draining very fastly i.e 100 % just finished in 2 hours. :crying:
What should I do? Can you please tell what is the problem & how can I fix it (or from my nearest repair shop).
Thank you in advance!
Try change the cabel and charger.
If its still not work go ahead for a new battery and usb port flex. Make sure the rev. you buy is same as in your phone

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I have already bought a new battery.
Sorry for the noob question, what are you saying "rev" ? and usb port flex?
So, u bought a new Battery, but the device and even the external charger are both charging slow? U should now try to use another Cabel and Adapter (Even if they seems to work).
Also a new battery(Production 2015-2016) shoudn't drain in 2hours, it might a Software issue there too.
For the USB Port flex, just google it and u see what is mean. There are also different revisions, that one you buy must match your phone

I appreciate your reply. & yeah I think there's a software issue too because when I leave the phone idle i.e when I lock the screen
battery drain also there.
& I already used different cables.
Thank you.
Check in setting > battery it will give you a diagram of the battery percentage and what is using the most power. Also check the mah for the battery you bought the lower the number the short the duration for the battery eg 1650mah is what the original battery was

Wow wtf.. sorry but u didn't even bought a Original battery and ask for help?! Please.
All 3rd Party battery's who claim they have more mAh than the Original Samsung one while having the same size are pure fake! There is simply no way to fill more mAh in same space.
It *is* possible to get a Samsung original 2000mAh battery.....but it's physically bigger than the one that came with the phone....it'll also come with an extended back cover to accommodate this.
To the OP.....If you got the battery off eBay and it's covered in a gold coloured label......bin it now because it's utter rubbish.....even if the listing stated 'Samsung original' and it looks like a Samsung battery......I can guarantee you that it ain't.......
Unless you brought it directly from Samsung, then it's probably come from Shenzhen in China (or somewhere like that).
That being the case, there's *no way* that the battery is rated at 2000mAh....it's likely to be closer to 1300 or 1400mAh....
Finally...If you do replace the USB board, the advice given about matching the REV version is accurate and critical....Here's a link to a guide I wrote on that exact subject.......

Hello all,
I just bought the 1350 mAh battery from Amazon, but when I opened it I got a little concerned: The battery is half the size in length, and a bit thicker than the original. Moreover, it is a bit wider, making me wonder whether it can fit inside the battery compartment. My most serious concern though, is whether it works properly with the TD2, or it might cause any harm.
Has anybody here tried it? Any feedback?
if it is smaller then it is not for d2.
I see . So it seems I am the only one who bought this and got conned?
The only battery I found on Amazon is for the Diamond, not for the Diamond 2.
I had a Diamond before and the battery does not fit at all in the Diamond 2.
Maybe you can send it back and get your money back.
This the battery I bought:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002AANPYG/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
As you can see, it states clearly that it is a TD2 battery. My problem is that I cannot return it to them without proof that it is improper, and I am not even sure about this (since I have not tested it, and I am afraid to do so) at the moment...

Can you tell how the new battery compare to the stock one? Increased battery life? Faster/slower charging? Fit the same?
Thanks!
Fit is identical to the original. When I bought it is was half-charged, so I cannot compare charging time yet... Regarding battery life, the first impressions confirm that it does seem to last longer.
Great.. do keep us posted abt the battery.
Extra 240mAh at the same size at that price seems very tempting..
Thanks!

any pictures with this battery installed??
Does anyone know what is the normal charging time for a 1350mAh battery? I noticed that it needs a couple of hours... Is this normal? Does the fact that it is still new has anything to do with it?
I also noticed that the battery percentage gets up to 99% instead of 100%... Is this of any significance?
A couple of hours seems normal, it depends a little bit on your charger (faster with the htc one than charging from your laptop for example), and also if u sue your device when charging (then it is slower), or even the room temperature.
99% seems strange though, with my original battery, I always reach 100% eventually...and I suspect it goes a little higher than that: the time to go from 100% to 99% is much much longer than for going from 99% to 98% ;-)
Well, it does stay at 99% even if I leave it the whole night charging with the HTC charger...
Maybe it's a bug of the battery icon? I am using the one suggested in this forum, that has percentages and different colors.
Can you post some photos of the battery jcan? It looks idential on ebay uk to this one :

Hi guys:
Is it possible to use a battery from another phone? Because sometimes chinese mobiles can be compatible with Nokia's batteries and for a little amount of money, we can get some cooler Nokia's ones.
I'm getting a ZTE Blade this week, so I will tell you my impressions ASAP.
Regards.
I wouldn't recommend using any other battery than the official one provided. You're asking for trouble otherwise.
Why not? If it has the same voltage and fits perfect, there isnt any reason for using this battery. There are other manufacturers of mobile phone batteries that make compatible batteries, so It wouldnt have any problem.
Anyone tried it? I will make a study of MP batteries and then I will tell you if I found something interesting.
Regards

More capacity power than the stock one. Finally, I have bought an emergency charger for 10 euros, that have 1900 mah and its affordable for my Samsung Wave and this phone.
Hope that it will solve all battery problems.

Interested aswell in the review,was considering carrying a spare battery but this looks handier.
I considered using another battery too, but this option has multilple advantages:
1) It has 1900 mhAmp, so it lefts 500 mAmphs free to make another charge.
2) I'm using two smartphones, so I can charge both ones.
3) I don't need another charger or charging it in the phone and removing it. I just charge the emergency charger and I can use the phone again.
BTW, my ZTE Blade seems to be the AMOLED version, with low battery consumption. I'm using stock GB firmware, and after a day using 2G network, WiFi, playing Angry Birds for 30 minutes, using Whatsapp and a few phone calls, I have 30% left. SO I'm quite impressed with battery life, hope it will be as good as my Samsung Wave (I use it around 2-3 days with no problems)
I will make a full review when I will receive the charger.
Regards.
I bought the 2800mAh version of that charger, and man does it work great.
I suppose it's the only must have accessory I can think of to a smartphone.

Anyone know if the I9100 battery will fit the I777? I see a lot of sellers listing the battery working for both the AT&T I777 and the International I9100.
yeah I cant find this in writing. Where is a good place to find oem Battery's
I got the 2000 mah anker battery off eBay works great! !!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
The dimensions for the i777 Samsung battery are 59x46x5 mm. I searched and couldn't find dimensions anywhere for the i9100 oem battery. Anyone with i9100 mind measuring the battery dimensions? I hate to order a bunch of stuff only to find it doesn't fit. I don't 100% trust the descriptions on most of the ebay stuff.
Do the I9100 batteries have 3 or 4 contacts? If only 3, they probably won't work, or might damage the additional spring clip in the phone for the 4th contact. (which, if the I9100 batteries only have 3 contacts, means the 4th is for NFC.)
Let me help you guys out here. I ordered 3 international gs2 batteries 2 months ago in preparation for this phone and they work just fine in the att version. the dimensions are exactly the same and everything has been just peachy.

I don't see 2000mah on ebay, just 1900mah for anker battery.
Thanks guys, I think I will go ahead and order some i9100 batteries then. There are a lot more options available than for the i777 stuff right now.
Note that anything that includes an alternative battery door won't work. The battery doors ARE different.
Yeah I assumed that and wasn't going to go with an extended battery but do plan on getting a dock which should be similar enough to work well.

It MAY or MAY NOT fit, but I can tell you that the NFC antenna in the SGH-I777 (ATT GalaxyS 2) is embedded into the battery. So even if the battery contacts do match, at the very least you'll lose the ability to do NFC. And further, if Samsung messed with the voltages or signalling on the pins (which they might have done in order to get the NFC antenna hooked into the mainboard), you could potentially fry your phone. Instantly, or maybe even over time...
Until further work is done to figure out exactly what goes on what pin, and how it compares to the i9100, I wouldn't use an i9100 battery if I were you...
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.

Ah, good to know that's been established.
The people who actually bought a bigger battery off ebay, could you please post who the seller was? I see a few batteries for sale but I have been screwed before so that would be awesome if you could post who the seller was that you bought from. I'd love to have two extra batteries on hand. Thanks in advance.
FYI I got two Anker (1900mAh) off Amazon yesterday. It fits and works but a few times today the battery icon shows a ? and the settings show -1%. After about a minute the correct % comes back, not sure if it's the batteries or just this one. I'll try the second one tomorrow.
Really interested to get an opinion on battery life with the Anker batteries.
I am probably going to end up using them as backups, both of them take time before the % of power left will display. I never got the full 5 discharge/recharge done on one of them, but even without that it was lasting longer then the stock, as it should. I see someone else ordered some too, I'll be interested to see if those have the display issue.

Can you give any indication of how much more than stock you would say they last? Is it the near 20% as it should be?
I also get the question mark on the battery, It seems to be when the phone wakes up or when I plug it in it takes a few seconds to find the juice amount then it will start charging..
The battery is lightly taller then stock but it fits perfectly inside of the phone case. Tobad about the battery meter. Im going to run it for the day see if the ? will stop.
I would advise not to buy yet.
i too have the "?" on grey market batteries
i have bought several grey market batteries and get the question mark also, i've noticed these batteries are 3.7v and the oem battery is 3.8, i wonder if that is the culprit? I am hoping these hong kong manufacturers will get it right soon, i did find an oem battery for about $23 after shipping and am contemplating buying it, and yes my chargers don't fully charge my oem battery either, its always at 91 or 93%

Seriously; I have 2 "High-Capacity Gold Batteries", 1930 mAh, for my Titan.
When plugged in they show either 255% or -1% charge, never go back to normal.
When unplugged, they never show 100% charge, maximum of about 94%.
They seem to last about the same as the stock battery...
Hi, you have to full restore your HTC Titan (Backup recommended) if you get a new battery pack! I guess it indicates what the specs are in the battery. I know this because I bought a new battery pack and I had this problem! So I full restored my phone and now it's fine!
i bought a charger online it looks very much like the original bundled one. However i have a couple of questions
1. is there a way i can check the output quality using the phone itself and not a multimeter . Like variation in voltage/current?
2. using a multimeter do i have to tear apart the charger to check the output quality.
any inputs are welcome

Depends on what you mean by 'output quality'. If you mean the ripple (noise), especially in response to load changes, then no, you can't without oscilloscope and dummy load.
If you do not have this measuring equipment, then I would use these two simple tests:
does the empty phone fully charge within 2 - 3 hours ?
does the touchscreen stay responsive while charging ?
If you can answer both of these questions with yes then one could assume the charger is of good quality.
thanx for an informative reply man. the thing is i use usb charger usually battery is 8 months old . i dont know how long it will charger to recharge. giving these conditions u still think it will take 2-3 hours to charge ? yes the touchscreen stays remains but i think there is the usual "noise " that makes minor error in touchscreen smoothness. do u understand wat i am trying to tell u.

If the battery is fine (and it should still be after 8 months) charging of an empty battery should happen within 2 - 3 hours.

If you are able to normally operate your phone while charging, then this is ok.
ok. i will do that and get back to u guys. just one thing. wat info can i get from phone regarding charging current /voltage ? also the original capacity was 1650 mAh . can i recalibrate and get the "new" mAh is there anything like this ? i calibrate my laptop' battery every two months and get its capacity in terms of mW. anything similar to phones ?
