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 bought mine @Amazon.
Fits just perfect

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.. do someone here know if there is a better battery for the xperia play that doesn't change its size?

I have a fat 3600 and the stock. Just a word of caution. If you buy a battery that's listed as a higher rating then then stock battery but its the same size. Be warned the battery can give you issues as they cram more juice into the same size the following things can occur. I bought a battery same size as stock and it listed it as 1800. I had excessive heat issues the batteries output to the phone was not a consistent steady flow of power and caused games and my phone to glitch to the point using the phone was almost unbearable. But when I switch to stock or to the fat 3600 battery everything was golden. So just be careful. I would never get another battery that was more power but same size. I lost $20 on that battery. Not saying I don't buy aftermarket barriers. My 3600 is not a mughen but one of those batteries for $17-20 on Amazon from Hong Kong and of works great. I also have a 2600 battery as well. Anyways again be careful of what you and for me never buy a larger capacity battery shoved into the same form factor as stock. Too many issues.

i want a better battery , i have no problems with increased size , its the no cover thing that bothers me.
I dont drop my phone a lot but if i ever did , i would like some protection .
I think that way too. I don't want my phone to be without a cover, I have a great cover now that costs a lot and I don't want to throw it...

I love my gigantic eBay battery and huge cover, but only once my original battery is pretty much dead.
I would never use the thing full time, though.. it's just way too big and unsightly.
Does anyone know if the 3600mah extended batteries will still allow the Xperia Play to fit in the DK300 Sony dock? There's a lip on the back but I think it only covers the silver side part, so it might still fit.
If anyone has both an extended battery and the dock and could clear this up for me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I have the 3600mah battery, it makes the phone massive. I doubt it will fit.

It looks like it might fit - it'll be close, that's why I'm asking, I'd like to hear from someone who has actually tried both, rather than just conjecture.
I already have the dock, but not the extended battery.
No, it does not look like it will fit. Go ahead and buy it, let us know!
una decilucion
would be excellent to take out a battery with greater capasidad and that is the same size but the manufacturer is not the idea occurred to them yet .. such as the Motorola Razr has 3300 mAh and Maxxx is so thin .. : (
Success!!

Just kidding though, it really doesn't fit. It upsets me. But I just don't use it anymore.

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.

Samsung's original 2000mah battery is the best. It will make the phone about 2mm Thicker. Battery thickness increases with the capacity. If you dont want your phone to be thicker then you cant have an extended battery. And the original battery is available on ebay

I'm using this one. OK... it doesn't look so perfectly slim, but it is perfect as replacement on a long flight, or if you don't care if your phone looks a bit heavier.
I can't post the URL here, but search for 320919843605 on ebay

I have the genuine Samsung 2000 and find it very very good after a couple of cycles my battery life has easily doubled and I'm a heavy user. 12 hour working day Wifi/ data on all day bluetooth connection to car 2 hours a day many many calls, sms and emails every day. At the end of 'this' 12 hour shift my battery at around 50%.
I used my 'standard' case with the original back cover cut down to just below the camera to accommodate the extra thickness of the battery, so in my normal case the overall thickness is the same as if using standard battery.
Yes Samsungs 2000 battery is the best for me. Only 2mm more and a huge jump on batteryielife.

Genuine 2000mah is the best way to go, got mine for 21€ shiping included on amazon.
Anker brand quite good

Original 2000mah is the best choice. It will give you about 25% plus of what you are getting. The added thickness makes the phone nicer to hold and protects the camera lens.

is it still possible to squeeze a gel case protector over the top, or does that extra 1mm or so prevent it?
The official Samsung 2000mah battery seems a bit pricey where I am. Is the any alternatives that you guys can recommend?
About a year ago, i ordered a 2000mah genue Samsung battery, but when it arived, the back cover would not fit on my galaxy S2, thus since then i am forced to use a cheap slim back case as a back cover. Is there any chance for me to find a 2000mah back cover or i have to buy a new battery in odrer to get a proper cover for my beloved s2?Tried ebay myself but could not find someone who sells 2000mah back cover.
You mat get the original 1650 Mah back cover but it's very hard to find the one you want.
All you can do is ask here for the back cover, who is not using their 2000 mAh battery.
Good luck
What about Samsung service centres? They should have them.

if U want2say thanks press the 'thank you' button below the post
They are usually sold together battery and cover because it is designed to fit with the extended battery altough the 1650 battery can also be used with this care (as I do). I think that it wouldn't make sense selling just the extender cover alone , phone looks way better with slim one.Maybe someone here has it.
But still off the cover get broken u should bee able to buy just the battery door through the service network.

I need the black cover for the extended battery. All I can find are white kits so I want to purchase the battery with the white cover and maybe buy a black one separately. Any ideas?
