Hi Guys,
i purchased an Extended Battery Kit from Ebay.com its come from Korea
Battery fits and works perfectly, i cant confirm yet if it does any better than the standard battery but the rear cover doesn't fit. ive since read that theres a few different versions of the Kit....
Can anybody confirm where i can buy a Battery Cover that will fit my UK S2 that will work with the extended battery?
I recently made the same mistake. You probably have a different version of SGSII, may be the international version which is slightly different from the South Korean one. If you get a battery + cover kit that is non-NFC and for the International version, it should work.
I made the same mistake too. Any one who just wants the battery, PM me. I tried modifying the cover but it didnt fit. sigh.
Well...
My Standard battery would last for 10-12hours on a normal day (lots of Browsing,MSN,Facebook,Twitter,Some calls,Txt's and Youtube)
New Battery 1day and 2 hours !!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing
Anyway! All as i want is a European Battery Cover can anybody supply these??

I bought one battery kit and RMA'd it. The replacement also creaks by the area with a notch.
Anyone else have this issue? My standard battery cover is ok.
A lot of people have this problem.

2000mah battery kit for WHITE MODEL (maunfacturing fault)
Sent from my GT-I9100
Thanks. What an odd title for the thread. No wonder I could find it. I was search for things lie "Samsung genuine extended battery creak" and variations of it.
We hope SAMSUMG creates the cover for the white model ... Mahh
Question for those with a white 2000mah official extended battery
I received mine today from Amazon. and the top part of the new backing didn't clip into the phone. I've sent it back for a replacement. My question is, has anyone experienced this before or was I just unlucky and got a faulty cover? I have the I9100p (the NFC) model and was wondering if there is a compatibility issue?
Many thanks!
Hi,
Had exactly the same issue - I also have the 9100P and the back cover is slightly changed from the 9100 , the tabs on it are deeper and the extended back will not fit correctly.
I have yet to find an extended battery designed for the 9100P , ebay , amazon etc all sell the standard one. . .
I have also found that the phone does not fit well in all cases - again the back appears to be very slightly deeper??
Sorry cant be more helpful. .
All the best

thanks for the reply matey
looks like ill have to cancel the order for the extended battery
extended battery that makes the back of the phone flat without that curve?,i hear some have their clips at different positions, i dont know why samsung did this, i havent brought one due to this.
I bought the Andina battery 2000 maH and it works just as well as well as the Samsung and same size as original
I know there are a few people having problems with the fit of the new back cover for the extended battery but here's how i solved my problem.
I don't know about anyone else but my original battery cover actually fits although it is tight and there is a ridge in the back of the cover because of the thickness of the bigger battery. I got round this by using a nail file to file down the thicker plastic end caps at the top and bottom so they are flush with the thickness of the actual battery body i also rounded off the sharp edges. it doesn't give you much maybe just 1mm but it's enough to get a decent fit.
i hope i've explained that ok
pics? what to file?

Hold the battery side on you can see the top and the bottom plastic ends are just a little thicker than the battery body, they are the places to file but don't go mad. You'll only get about a millimeter but it's all you need. I've done it on my black i9100 and my daughters white one although the black battery cover is a little more flexible and easier to get on.
I have a similar problem with the black extended battery back cover I bought for my Orange I9100P. I got it from Amazon UK and I got a Korean NFC battery but the back cover from the UK battery just doesn’t snap in properly.
The bottom left just won’t snap in for some reason. The strange thing is that my mother has a SG2 from O2 the I9100 version and it fits perfectly into that phone. Is there a difference between the two models or is it a manufacturing fault with my phone? Should I send it back to Amazon for a replacement or should I be sending the phone back?
I have two pictures with the back cover on my phone, one with me pressing it down and the other with it loose but I'm not allowed to link to URLs yet. So if you want to see them go to imgur with this after the .com a/kaflG
this is the same as me it wont snap on right, i have even shaved the bits on the back off and still wont fit in right or the bottom left to.
i tried bending it a bit as well with still same of not fitting in right
I have i9100 and my girlfriend the i9100p.
I use the official extended battery and it stays on but not perfect. It does not fully snap on at the top.
It will not stay on at all on i9100p so I don't think there is a fault at all here it just seems that the p is slightly different for some reason and the back covers provided with the larger battery are just not that well made.

i've bought mine from samsung mobile store. No problem at all and fits perfectly

I may be wrong but I heard that the battery of the i9100p hosts the antenna of the NFC. Hence the different size with the i9100.
So, appart from your problem, changing the battery will mean that your NFC won't work anymore.
Hi i was wondering where i could buy an extended battery (and how many mha it has) that would fit with the original cover. And i live in the netherlands, maybe some1 knows thanks in advance

Unless you get one that has barely any more mAh than the original, pretty much any extended battery will be thicker than the original. It's never a good idea to use an extended battery that's thicker than the original battery with the original back cover. There's a reason extended batteries come with different back covers. Using the original cover with a thicker extended battery will place pressure on the battery, pressing it into the internal components. A lot of people have caused damage to various phones doing this, particularly to the screen. Everything might seem fine at first, but over time it can cause problems.
So, even if you find one that you can force the original back cover on with, it's just not the greatest idea. If you have to use the original back cover, you're better off getting a spare original battery.
Hi all,
I just scored a used Galaxy Nexus, Sprint version, on eBay. It seems to be in good working condition, however the battery cover is not flush against the battery. There's actually enough space there that when I shake the phone, the battery shifts up and down in its housing, clicking against the cover. Is this normal with this model, or should I quickly take advantage of the 14 day return period?
Definitely return. NOT normal.
I would GUESS you have a standard battery with a cover for an extended battery
After Googling around a bit and looking at photos of batteries, it looks like my battery may have been switched in from a different Samsung phone, possibly a Galaxy S II. I suppose I could order a Galaxy Nexus battery and hope for the best, but I think I'm going with the return option. Better luck next time, I guess.
Pics of this? I didn't know gs2 batteries fit

On further examination, I think you're right. Someone helpfully posted a serious of comparison photos on the Amazon listing for the Verizon extended battery/cover combo, and the extended cover looks pretty much like mine. Now the question is do I return the phone (since standard covers don't seem to be available anywhere), or suck it up and buy a bigger (heavier) battery for this one?

Personally, I use both the stock and extended Verizon battery, but I only keep the cover of the extended battery on me. Not once have I had an issue with the smaller battery shifting out of place. I'd say you keep it if there isn't anything wrong with the phone and even ask the seller if they happen to have the stock cover lying around anywhere.

If indeed you have the stock battery with the extended cover and don't wish to buy anything extra (although i would recommend getting the extended battery for longevity reasons aswell as fit) you could opt for the primitive fix: tape a piece of paper to the inside of the cover to hold it tighter.

Can anyone recommend the best extended battery for the galaxy nexus i9250?
I would prefer:
The original size as the oem battery, as i already have a phone case which only fits the original
cheaper would be better, i am willing to sacrifice nfc (that thing is useless nowadays
I Use the Official Samsung OEM Extended 2100mAh Battery. I can't tell the difference since I've been running my phone on extended since day 1 but I seem to get pretty decent battery running franco kernel. I get 40-50% by 4pm with average use, I've seen people get better though. Average price is $30, a guy at the sprint store cut me a deal. The Sprint version of the official Extended battery is hard to find, but you can snag a Verizon or generic GSM one easily off of eBay or maybe preferably on Amazon just be sure you know what you're buying because I've seen people try to fit Verizon extended covers on their Sprint phones and vice versa and it just doesn't work.
Buy the OEM Samsung 2000mah off eBay from shimshop. Completely stock with NFC built in. Slightly larger with nearly unnoticeable bulge. Fits the phone much better IMO. Great battery life as well. A good 35-40 percent more for me.

hit that thanks button if I helped you
Forgot to add that with the Samsung extended battery, I use a TPU case with no fit problems at all. They of course have 3600mAh extended cases though if you decide bigger is better.
I have a VHBW EXTENDED BATTERY 3500mAh...I improved the durance more than 30%.
But of course is related to the setting that you use. I think that the durance can increase
