1800 mAH genuine Samsung battery - Will it fit vibrant?

Looks like samsung has 1800 mAh battery for the new Epic touch 4G. Looks very similar to Galaxy S series battery. It will be great if it fits vibrant!
Look at 1:50 into the below video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bORdFDO8318&feature=BFa&list=WL068AB326C5F0012A&lf=BFp

In short: No.

Don't quote me but it might be slightly taller, it's hard to tell from the video though.

Some guy that works for sprint tried to claim yes it 100% will in another thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16581557&postcount=10
But I don't really believe him.
If its like the international SGS2 battery then as posted, its too tall.

Someone go to a sprint store when those hit and try one. Just ask for a device, debox and try the battery haha.

Two things I noticed since I posted....the connectors on the battery are on right side for epic touch and left side for vibrant? And epic touch being 4.5 inch screen phone it is possible that battery is bigger albeit same shape :-(

Keep following the link I posted, now its looking like the guy may be right. Its not confirmed yet.

Thanks for pointing me to that thread. One thing for sure the epic touch 4G battery is different from other galaxy s2 variants as it is seen in the video I posted. They guy may be even right it physically fits into old epic (that means vibrant too). But I have to see if the connectors on the right versus left is a deal braker.

Okay, looking at the video the battery goes into the new phone with the side with mAh printed inwards. In vibrant that side is outwards! So this could mean position of the connectors is not an issue I am still hopeful.

Can someone check it in a store already?

I just checked at a sprint store and the battery will fit our vibrant! It is the same size and shape as our normal batteries. I didn't power the phone cause it was packaged but the size will fit and it is indeed an 1800mah.

EDIT: On second thought, I didn't ask the rep if I can buy one and the Sprint website doesn't appear to sell them as of yet. Anyone know of any good sources to get these batteries?

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506
From epic 4g forum. But someone is reporting that some filing is required to fit the battery. Can you confirm it fits vibrant without filing?

Actually I read that forum and ppl seem to now agree they work perfect. I also saw that site but it ships the 26th of next month? That's stupid late lol.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

So in the sprint store where you tried, it was a spare battery for sale or they took it off a phone?
I would guess it will take some time for spares and accessories to be available after phone is launched. Oct end looks reasonable in my opinion. We never managed to find a spare 1650 mah from Vibrant 4G even today!!

They took it off a new phone they unboxed. So yeah, who can find one online that is sold now should speak up. Preferably under $40.
The October 26th shipping is way in the future as of now.

Seems a little weird they're the only place to be offering this, and at a good discount with free shipping? I'm skeptical, but this sure would be nice if its real! Anyone ever ordered from mobilecityonline before?
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

So is it confirmed that the 1800mAH battery will fit AND work properly in the vibrant?
Is mobilecityonline selling legit 1800mAH batteries for the Epic 4G Touch or is it going to be more like a knockoff 1500 mAH or less like buying from overseas?

There are more than one person in the epic 4g forums saying the battery fits epic 4g and so most probably vibrant. vice versa is hard fit it seems. I am sure if you give 1 month or so from now, these will appear in sprint stores. ATT version has different battery, looks similar to international galaxy s2.

Have you tried using NFC after putting in the Galaxy Nexus battery? Confirmed it's still working?
Just want to rule out that it has NFC but is somehow incompatible with the T989 NFC.

Maybe I can try to get the gn and my sgs2 to talk
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

picture or link pleasE?
i'll probably order one to try it out , if it's compatible with our phone

why not just use the Mugen 2000 mAh battery?

i only trust OEM batteries when it comes to Extended
besides 2000 - 1850 = 150 mAh gain, not really worth the upgrade
however 2100 - 1850 = 250 mAh gain, that is at least a decent quater pound over the original
it should at least give you another hour with 250 mAh
but 150 wont even last you 30min
according to the mAh consumption history of my phone, it averages around 213 to 555 mAh when in use, game or web surfing
iddle is 2 mAh

Here's why...
About the same price, OEM it is.
OEM Sammy has higher capacity, which is usually what they state. 3rd party batteries are generous with their numbers and tend to lie.
NFC

BWAHAHAHHA THIS THREAD MAKE ME LOL COMPARING OVER 100mAH LOL!!!

Agreed. OEM or not, it doesn't fit. I could rig a laptop battery up to my phone, that doesn't mean it's better. "but all you have to do is leave the battery door off and duct tape it to the back..." Um....no thanks. I don't care what kind of battery it is, if it doesn't fit, it's a waste of time.

Here's the extended Galaxy Nexus battery in my SGS2.
Can't tell you the battery life yet, gimme a day or two.
I'm not using the back cover, the Seidio Active takes care of it. Not a big deal since the case never comes off anyway.

peel off the label on the battery and take a Dremel to the back cover to make space. The case is thin, but a few thousands of an inch shouldnt hurt. you could possibly have the battery case down too if you're brave.
that case looks a touch heavy, how does it feel? whats the front look like?
thanks for posting the pics

i know our battery door is extremely flexible
i'm sure you can at least keep the better half of the batter door clicked in
while leaving only the bottom part un-hooked
and let the phone case do the rest of the job at keeping the batter in place

It seems to give about an hour more roughly. I did a little over 15hrs the other day (auto sync, BT, 4G, yadayada). I usually finish with about 14 normally.
YMMV, you may or may not see any difference.
If money is tight, don't buy it. I'm sure most people aren't going to go bonkers over that one hour.

I've had the Sprint extended battery for about a year, and it is terrific so far. I easily doubled my battery life, and WAY outlast all my friends (and wife) who have the same phone and general usage.
Also, I prefer the larger battery for one reason: it sits in my hand SO MUCH nicer now. I have fairly large hands, and the phone was so slender that I felt I was always clenching my fingers tightly to keep it in my hand. Now when I hold it, the notch created by the protruding battery sits on my ring finger and keeps the phone still and balanced without my having to tightly grasp the sides. I love it. I wouldn't buy a slender battery again, personally.

Glad Papa set me straight...(?) I've been using my for 6 months, and it seems to get better as it goes along. I did try some of those el-cheapo specials on ebay, won't do that again. I'm like some others, I do like the fit with the Sprint extended battery, and with the right rom and kernel you can rock some serious battery time.

[Q] Other phones that have same physical size battery?

So I am looking for a new battery for my Epic 4g, but I don't feel like purchasing one lol.
So this leads to my question:
My friend works at a Sprint store and said he can grab me a battery from an Epic 4g or another phone that has the same physical size but more capacity.
I am seeking help in finding information on other Sprint phones that use the same "physical" size battery as the Samsung Epic 4G uses...
I am hoping to acquire a battery from another phone that has 3500+mAh. Anyone have any suggestions?

Epic touch works just fine. Although I don't condone the "stealing" at least spot the dude 10$.

The phone will feel obviously heavier, and the cover will be slightly loose, having trouble staying snapped shut. But it seems to become accustom to the stretch and you'll get used to the different feel of the phone too.

Yes, it is a noticeable difference; not an issue, just a difference.
The cover does not exactly fit. There is a bulge where the top of the thicker battery causes it to slightly deform And the bottom snaps are not as tight being that the cover is now a bit mis-shapen.
And thicker battery = heavier battery.
It is noticeable the first couple of weeks. But I've become accustomed to it.

I had this same issue with the OEM battery. (sorry the mechanic in me) I went to sprint and bought the 2400 mAh battery but it came with a new back cover. its almost a 1/2 in thicker. It was only $40 and i like it. yeah, my phone is heavier and alittle awkward to hold, but i have a major increase in battery life over the stock battery.

Why spend 40$ when you can buy a decent 3500 mAh for 15$ or even 20$ and is the same thickness as your cover, not to mention there are 2x Hyperion 3500 mAh that are very good for 19.99$ or 2x 1800 Ankers that get very good battery life without any thickness at all?

I agree, had them for my og Evo, extended battery was decent, but on my Epic touch it was far less than satisfying.
I am waiting on one from Gorilla gadgets, the extended battery i got for my Epic touch was good. Hopefully it will be the same with my GS3

There extended battery for my og evo worked great for almost two years. But I messed up using a rom with trickle charging. So go for the battery when it comes out, I know I will.

I agree too, their products are very reliable and the quality is superb, I bought an extended battery from them a few years ago for the Droid Inc and always got atleast 26+ hrs on it. Of course like any other battery, it too lost its juice after 2 years but I was very satisfied with its output. Right now there is no timetable on when the battery will be released (I sent Seidio an email and waiting for their response) but hopefully the battery isn't bulky enough that it sacrifices the phones' beauty.

I had great experience with the Seidio batteries for my Palm Pres, so other than the rather high price (and my concern about fit in my car dock), I am seriously considering this. {ProfJonathan}

um...what do you guys think so far?
this compare to mugen?
or should i wait for the samsung factory extended battery?
