So im truly loving this phone and i really have problems with the battery and im looking to change it.
There are a few brands which i want to buy from it has a upgrade from 1860 to 2200 mAh: Blue Star And Supercell
Also i saw that a Galaxy S5 has the same voltages and sizes as a galaxy alpha but has 2800 mAh, will that work?

Hey guys,
I noticed on gsmarena.com, it lists the Bell's version of the S2 (Samsung Galaxy S II 4G) as having a slightly larger battery than the regular S2.
Is this true? Would there be differences in battery life, then?
Not true. My Bell S2 is 1650 mAh.
1650 here as well, probably just a typo.
Now a days these reviewing sites are in so much hurry to post a review that they don't even check once what they wrote
I've been around the block a few times with my Vibrant(s), yes, that was meant to be plural. I absolutely love it.
However, I'm running MIUI on one device and am looking for better ways to improve my battery life.
I'm interested in ordering a new battery. Found some decently priced 1650mah batteries on Ebay. My question is, the 1650mah from the Samsung Galaxy S 2, is it the same battery size as our Vibrants?
Ebay has a lot of choices for Samsung Galaxy S 2 batteries.
Thanks in advance users of XDA!
Galaxy S2 battery is physically different from Galaxy S battery and will not fit in vibrant.

What about The I9000 and the Vibrant?
don't know if the SGS2's battery is compatible with the vibrant, but if you want an inexpensive solution, on ebay you can find a powerskin for 12.99 refurbished or 16.99 new. http://www.ebay.com/itm/U-OEM-POWER...ain_0&var=&hash=item6fc4151a8b#ht_4039wt_1139
Thanks. I just bought one.

I9000 battery will work fine, I currently have a Mugen 1700mAh i9000 replacement battery in my phone; same size, lasts longer, and everything works great. Only complaint is they're on the pricey side ($45 or so). The mugen for our Vibrant is only rated at 1650mAh, so that's why I went with the one for the i9000
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
Bumped into this new battery from Mugen Power while browsing their facebook.
Mugen Power 1800mah battery for AT&T SGS2
I use one for my Nexus S and I'm happy with it. Hope this helps someone! Cheers!

For $45 they better plan on coming by 2x a week to clean the lime-stain ring from the toilet bowl. For a "china-model" battery that's absurdly high.
But I am interested to see when this one goes to market if they've figured out how to produce a battery that'll charge inside the phone.
Not sure why ATT pisses off their customers by having Samsung spec a phone which requires customers to purchase batteries and phone parts direct from ATT. So annoying.
Anyone get it yet? I might order one on payday and report back unless someone beats me to it.

Bump.
Anyone using it? I'm considering getting it if anyone else has had a positive experience.
That seems kind of expensive. See the other thread where Hyperion is selling 2x1800 batteries and charger for $25 on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Samsung-Galaxy-Battery-Charger/dp/tech-data/B005XOHQ6Y/ref=de_a_smtd
No idea which is better but if Hyperion can provide this I would think Mugen could as well at the same price point. I would wait till it's cheaper or get the Hyperion. Hyperion model already has some good reviews on Amazon.
Doesn't the Hyperion have the bootloop problem with our phones

Hyperion has released a new one, specifically for the AT&T, that doesn't cause the boot loop. The reviews on the Amazon page so far has confirmed this.
Nevermind. Just saw the link.

i would like to hear how the battery life is with this battery
Any significant increases in battery life? I've heard mixed reviews on the hyperion products.
Also the Amazon description says to use their charger? Any dangers with using the Samsung charger?
Just ordered one to try. Delivery is in about two weeks. I'll report back then.

I dunno about hyperion but Mugen does give a chart that there is about 9% more juice in the 1800mAh battery...I think if you need a real increase it's better to check a solution with a backcover. 3200mah could do. I used 3300mah on my Nexus S and it was great.
So these extended batteries don't have nfc and they won't charge inside the phone correct?
Mugen Battery will last 1.09 times as long!
it reads" Mugen Battery will last 1.09 times as long!"
WOW that's allot!!! 9 %

Lol, exactly what I've been thinking. Until lithium ion is replaced, the physical size of a battery is a strong indicator of how long it will last. If it's 'barely' bigger. It will last 'barely' longer.

received the battery today. I'll let you guys know in a few days how it is. Gotta run some tests.

That's exiting. Will you be posting a topic about it?
Alright results are in and I'm sorry to say. The mugen battery did not outperform the stock samsung battery. Although it was close. When I got the battery I fully charged and discharged it 5 times as the manufacturer recommended. I did a simple test
1: brightness 100%
2: screen on 100%
3: Pandora streaming 100%
mugen=
Start: 4.190v
End: 3.16v
Total: 5.34hrs
Samsung=
Start: 4.190v
End: 3.025v
Total: 5.49hrs
I know we were all hopefulyhat this would be a better battery. Maybe my testing wasnt the best method, if you guys have a better way let me know so I can retest.

just bought my hperion battery.. it was batterx2 + charger for $14.99 shipped.. pretty good deal,, and i don't see any bootloops.
Hello guys i am little confused to buy a new device since are lots of out there.and i think this is a perfect place to know your opinions about v10.
I am using samsung galaxy note 4 right now and i am about to buy lg v10 cuz i like the design and socendery display.
So what's your suggestions guys should i upgrade from note 4 to v10 or it should be not good upgrade?
How is the performance compare to note 4 ?
And how is the battery life ? I heard snapdragon 808 has lot heating issues and battery drain
Thank you.
808 doesn't have heating issues like the 810.
I upgraded from the note 3 to the v10 and there was a night and day difference. I'm not sure the difference would be as noticable from a note 4.
The problem with the v10 is definitely the battery life, fortunately you can get battery packs with double (6400 mAh) or triple the capacity (9000 mAh) which makes the battery life good enough.
I like my v10 but unless you've got either an aftermarket battery pack or a spare battery the battery life is pretty terrible.

Depends on what you expect...Phone seems durable. No custom ROM'S jet (probably never), batt. is so-so...camera compared to your note4 is maybe slight better...but just because manual mode.
I'm still waiting for that ''perfect phone'' to be out.
I honestly think you should keep your note 4, buy a spare battery pack, and install a note 7 rom, because the battery life in this phone isn't all that, and there is no support for this phone
hi! I'm kinda new to xda. I searched everywhere on google about battery mods on samsung s2(yea, i know, old phone for our days), for example adapting a bigger battery from other models. So far i managed to fit a xcover 3 battery, 2.200 mah, by peeling the logo and nfc antenna, and removing some plastic from the chassis of phone., but the battery cover has some gap and falls off in pocket because battery is thicker. I saw more models with 1800 to 2100 mah, and I need to know which will fit perfectly. Seems that no one ever thought about that. Sorry for bad english
I also own an S2 i9100 an I have always struggled with finding original high capacity batteries for S2. I have tried many so-called high capacity batteries from China but none have proved suitable.
Also I wonder if S2 is capable of charging a higher capacity battery to the fullest... I think it stops charing half way even though we manage to fit a larger capacity battery. But I want to be proven wrong about it.
And if you have found a battery that has a higher capacity such as 2200mah or even higher that is of the same size so that it fits S2, I would love to kno if you are able to charge it to the fullest and get long life usage on S2.
Specific details would be helpful.

you can charge any battery. the charging ic on device is based on voltage, not on amperage. it will charge the battery until 4.2 v regardless the time or mah. i managed to get longer life with 2200 mah battery, but not very impressive because the battery was used and the manufacturing date is 2015. also, it seems that battery dies after some time if you peel its cover and expose metal.
update: Just bought some batteries and successfully fit the model EB-BG360BBE, 2000MAH for core prime. 30h= standby, 7 hours sot

Could you confirm if it is an exact fit for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 ?
