Hey guys,
I bought the official Samsung battery with the NFC antenna and now my NFC won't work.
Do you have any idea how to get it to work again?
Is anyone else having similar problems?

are you sure its not a fake?
I bought two of the supposed real ones too. They had Samsung logos and even said NFC on them. Every part of the packaging was the same on the battery except the fake was made in Hong Kong the real in Korea. I M okay with the battery however, it is what it is as for $20 I got two backups and an external charger
it came with the cradle-charger so I don't think it would be fake.
I noticed that some galaxy nexus users were having difficulties with using the NFC function when swapping their batteries..
the only solution for them was to do a factory reset..
For those of you with an extra battery , could you check to see if both of your batteries work with NFC please?

Thats a fake battery, if you want I can get a whole lot of those batteries stickers from china.
So where did you buy it from? I have my hand around my crystal balls and I predict Ebay.

lol, did you buy from amazon directly or a seller on amazon? i have known sellers on amazon selling fake crap trying to pass them off as genuine. but put your original battery back in and check if nfc works to test i suppose. i don't see why changing the batt should stop nfc working as it only contains the antenna and not the nfc chip.

I put in my original battery and the NFC is working fine.
I then tried the new battery again and the NFC works too!
I have no idea what happened... I guess it was just a little glitch..
THanks for all your replies guys, much appreciated!

Hey guys,
After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.
I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)
Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?
Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.
Thanks,
Mosh

if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something
I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.
Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.

I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories
Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?
EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?
EDIT2: Amazon is preferable!

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post
Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.
Enjoy.
I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.
I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?
I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.
i got my car charger from expansys when i ordered the phone
Can anyone confirm that this will work? : http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6
I'm looking to purchase a battery that I don't need a different back cover for.
I get pretty good life out of mine, a day easily getting me from charge to charge however I just want an extra one to carry for those long days when I'm out.
I've looked about but im confused as a lot seem to be cheap fakes and I don't want to damage my phone in any way, on the other hand I don't want to pay through the nose either.
Can someone point me in the right direction to a tried and tested battery.
Thanks in advance

Ive got one of these. There are ok for a spare battery. Last me a day and abit
http://www.obostore.com/2100mah-andida-spare-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-p-4407.html
I would suggest you to get the OEM battery. They are really priced reasonably, with NFC, and warranty.
Unless you want to experiment with batteries, try to stick to OEM instead of 3rd party manufacturers

OEM = Original equipment manufacturer. So it's really any store that sells Samsung made GNex battery.
I have a retail original battery sealed in original clear plastic box, if interested pm me.
sold
I'm looking for a spare battery and came up with this on ebay. It looks like it's OEM one with NFC function, but the price is too good to be true, cuz there are some seller priced it around $30, which makes more sense.
ebay.com/itm/New-Battery-for-EB-L1G6LLU-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-S3-i9300-2100mAh-/140785352440?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20c775fef8
Amazon has third party seller for the oem w nfc for 30 also.

2 batteries plus an external charger for them for $18. It says OEM with NFC, but we'll see. I'm not sure how much I'll use the NFC feature anyway, but I'm hoping this is what it says it is.

It looks like the OEM but I dont see NFC anywhere.
Tempting due to the claim of OEM. Any bets on them being counterfit? Note the seller also offers a 2500mAh "compatible" version.
I emailed the guy. It has no NFC antennae, those are extra lol oh well I just need backup battery untill OEM price comes down.
So it's not really OEM then is it? Don't the OEM ones come with the NFC built in?

Sadly, how can it be an OEM battery for the SGS3 without the antenna?
Does anyone have the P/N off of an original US version of the battery? I'm still waiting for mine. I contacted Anker about when they will stock one and they asked for the P/N. I've had great success with the Anker batteries in my Touch Pro 2 (on Sprint) which is what I'm upgrading from.
How can you tell if a battery has the NFC? Aside from the markings on it.
I had ordered this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/16082851278...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_738wt_1396

Received it today. Looks like OEM, slightly different markings but says 2100mah and says Near Field Communications on it. It's charging up right now so I'll report back if NFC is actually working.

Grr, no NFC...what bs. Why the heck would it say NFC if there is no NFC. Will reach out to seller to get some kind of credit (not sending this **** back to china). I guess its OK as a replacement battery, but I have NFC tags that I'm using.
Emailed the guy and got a full refund! He even said not to return the battery.
Congrats! May I ask if you are using a US phone? I'd like to know if these batteries work in the US releases of the S3.

Hello everybody.
I want to buy an OEM battery for my device. I live in Israel, i went over eBay, and couldn't decide which battery is a genuine one or not. Can someone please give me a link to a genuine one that ships to Israel?
Thx!
i bought one on eBay and even asked the guy if it was original and he said it was.
when i got it weeks later it seemed legit, only thing i noticed was that it didnt have the same exact font size and didnt have the water damage sticker but i thought it was still good until i started using it.
i noticed it didnt have NFC and it would take forever to charge 100%. even leaving it overnight. also noticed the battery died really quick when reaching 32%. pretty much instant death when it hits passed 32%.
ok, so do you know where I can get a genuine one from eBay/amazaon/any other site that can deliver this to Israel?

help, please? hhh

Some of the sellers ship internationally.. Check those out.
I thought it was illegal to ship lithium ion batteries internationally? At least that what I got told when I was talking to batteries for less in the states.
Also I wouldn't expect to get an OEM battery for less then $40 USD

Has anybody personally found a good replacement internal battery that has full, or close to full charge capacity? Before anybody says it, I have replaced phone batteries before and have no issues with the risk and disassembly aspect of replacing the battery. I want to install a new one because my current battery dies so quickly anymore, but everywhere I look I only find ones with terrible user reviews. Can anybody point me in the direction of a better quality option?

No I ended up using the slightly-less-than-terrible verizon trade in offer on an s10. I got the plus because of the 4ah battery specifically although im already remember how much samsung's UI's blow compared to regular android... But if I had gotten one I would probably just get one directly from ifixit after reading some of the user feedback. Seems like they are mostly better received than amazon and ebay options.
I purchased a battery from the below eBay seller.

It's a genuine battery from what I can tell and came in a clear plastic case. It's dated 2019/01/16, so very recent. I'll be installing it tomorrow.

Logos are marked out to do with customs, in many of countries they do not allow the importation of counterfeit products under copyright law, marking out the company logo bypasses this. Obviously if the actual OEM is selling their own batteries then this does not need to be done.
Any updates on battery life? I am looking to buy from the same seller for my Pixel XL.

Sorry for the late reply.
It was defective, it lasted a week before it would no longer hold a charge. It looked genuine, but I didn't want to deal with a replacement, so I ended up getting a refund, and going with ifixit for a replacement battery instead. I'm guessing I just received a lemon, the seller was solid with the refund.
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/Google-Pixel-XL-Replacement-Battery/IF356-005
Expensive at $25, but it's been solid ever since. Holds a charge very well. I purchased the kit, since I can see myself reusing the tools in the future.
It matches the original bloated battery I took out the first time. It seems to be genuine OEM, the HTC logo on the battery is covered up by a black marker which you can remove with alcohol. You can even make it out a bit in their photos.

I guess I will get this one probably, instead of buying the new Pixel 4 XL.. just to see how long it lasts... it still works damn good, and exactly why I chose Google phone over other cheaper contract phones!!
What do you think? any practical reason to get the 4 over a battery upgrade for this one?

Since Google decided to extend support for the OG Pixel/XL with Android 10, they left me little reason to upgrade to 4. They would have to come in at $700 (not going to happen) or less for me to upgrade, or else I'm staying put until next year's 5. There is also the "possible" Pixel 4a/XL to look forward to in 6 months.
I had to buy mine used to replace my OnePlus 5 that had a saltwater accident after 2 years of use. The used eBay pixel XL I bought seemed like it hadn't been used in well over a year based on the software update status. It was also on the beta program so it was probably an enthusiast who bought new and used it a few months and switched to something else throwing it in a drawer. Battery still seems as good as they were new, after months of me using it. Still not as good as the OnePlus 5 and doesn't charge fast but it's still a good phone. Camera is close to as good as anything out there. UI had more lag than the op5 but seems smoother in scrolling and general usage.
Hi,on my pixel XL my USB preferences stopped working and is stuck on charge. After trying different chargers and cables, my phone will only charge using a USB-A to USB-C. When I plug phone into PC, it will only charge, can't change it from charge. I was wondering if someone has had a similar problem. If so, did changing the battery fix this problem or has anyone changed the USB daughter board and that fixed the problem. If anyone knows of a fix for my problem. Thank you.
