Description:
Recently got my hands on a Samsung Alpha G850F and followed some great tutorials for the battery mod , disabled most of the unwanted bloatware , root and im really impressed by the performance.
Firmware and Rooted:
Stock 5.0.2 Lollipop
Battery Mod:
Bought online a Samsung A3 2016 2300mah battery , removed completely the plastic at the top , covered the 4th pin with tape and gave it a little "push" on the sides with some paper.

I think non-original battery was used, so he had to do someting like "A3 2016 battery for Galaxy Alpha": https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/accessories/a3-2016-battery-galaxy-alpha-t3725433
You should be posting SOT rather than up time. That will clearly see the difference of that mod vs original battery.

It seems a lot of people were saying the Atrix had very good battery life, but after flashing one rom and kernel then back to stock with stock kernel. It seems my battery life isn't the best, it may just be me or actually the phone.
So, is it just what I did to the phone or the phone?
I'm at 60% with 5 hours and 12minutes of use.

You used a lot of wifi and 3g. It looks like your phone could make a workday from morn til night on a single charge. How much battery did you expect? 3days? You can 5 days if you just leave it in your pocket in airplane mode.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
My Atrix 4G drop 30% after 1 night (2am - 7 am)...
I checked batterymix software, the fingerprint service comsumes about 70% of the TTL energy eventhough i disable the service and set security screen to none.
How can I turn the service off permanently?
I'm using (3.14) CRUST v0.7 with [email protected]#1 kernel....
Srry because I just bought the phone (used) yesterday!
Guys, is there really a need in creating yet another battery life thread?
I have personally wrote a complete thread with all known fixes, as did a number of other forum members.

Your problem isn't unique, please look at what others wrote before starting from scratch.

If this topis is posted in wrong section , admin plese move to proper one insted of remove it.
You've got the right idea in downloading some apps to see if you've got the real deal. Now download antutu & quadrant (both benchmarking apps) & run a benchmark on each. Post the results.
You can also take a few photos with the rear camera and see what the quality is like.
Also, post a photo of the back of your phone without the battery cover & battery. Make sure to cover up your imei.

I woke up this morning sat up and grabbed my phone off my nightstand like I do every morning and dropped it instantly, it was extremely hot. I turned on the screen and saw that my batter was scolding 55c it's normally 27 - 29c when I check it throughout the day. I am really concerned about the longevity of my battery and phone. Was the battery hot enough to permanently damage any of the components? Is the battery safe to use or is it ruined? There doesn't appear to be any swelling.
This is the battery I have and the case I am using. http://www.ianker.com/product/70SMI9300-B1B72A/859

Wrong forum, check the very first thread.
Sounds like your battery is going to rupture, throw it away now.

Right, like i'm going to throw away a brand new $40 battery. :laugh: Where else would I post this? It's a Q and fits under Help. I also searched Google for at least an hour and couldn't find any good information pertaining to the safe temp range.
Like the man said you are in the wrong forum .
You have I9300 or not see sticky top of the page .
Test battery if it swells then do not use it .
Hey all,
I recently ordered an extended battery for our lovely Mega (I9205)
I bought an 7800 MAh battery for 40,70 euro's. (55,33 US Dollars).
Link to the website (it's dutch, you probaly need to translate it) is below.
I do not know exacly what brand the manufacture is...
I want to review this battery and share some stats.
I will post pictures of my phone and stats A.S.A.P!
Feel free to comment your opinion.

UPDATE: I recently reached 7-hours screentime with multiple apps running & data... I was quite surprised! Pictures: soon.
i paid MUCH LESS for same battery. it is quite good, but not 7800 mah.
in really is about 5000mah i think..... maybe initially was better, after 3 montsh of use life decreased a little.
it is a good battery better than original. but it is 2 battery IN PARALLEL.
1 battery chinese WILL NEVER BE 3200mah like original. so it it is 2500 real....................... 2500 x 2 = 5000 mah about. a good amount, not the promised 7800. but i paid just 10 euro not 40 XD XD
Hello guys, i recently bought a Galaxy S6 Edge and I'm like at about 3rd charge. I've unplugged the charger at 100% (after all night charge), I got 95% left after 19min (on screen time) browsing the Internet on Wi-Fi. What to do?
That seems normal to me. The battery life on the S6E is pretty poor compared to other phones I've had. The Marshmallow update has made it a little better but it's still not amazing.
its not normal ,,, get rooted and save battery

I have had my S6E for about a week now and I've also noticed that the battery drops fast.
What benefits to battery life is root going to give me, I have no incentive to root anymore.
I've rooted every device I have owned and I come from Android 2.1, so i am seasoned in root and the benefits that it used to pose.
Get rooted and save battery? I am rooted and haven't yet found a battery saving con, I mean app, that actually does anything. Even Greenify was greatly disappointing.
Having come from an Xperia Z1 it was quite a shock to see how bad the battery on the S6E is. I used the Z1 in exactly the same way as the S6E but the Z1 battery would last around 2 days. My S6E needs charging twice a day, minimum! Sony's Stamina mode needs porting lol
