I have the original Note, and I have 2 extra batteries that I bought for swapping on trips (and they have come in handy!). Do the original batteries fit in the Note II? I know that the Note II has a higher capacity than the original, but I would like to keep my current ones if I can.
They work. You just need to fill the gap left by it's size.

different sizes, it would slide around in the phone. you can try maybe putting something to stop it from moving inside, but theres no gaurantee it wont work. You can buy a spare battery with dock/charger from samsung for $25 using the 50% off coupon code. I just bought a spare (i too have 2 spare batteries for my note 1)
50% off coupon??? What did I miss?
EDIT: Just did a google search and found it! Awesome. http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...f-accessory-coupon-code-samsungs-website.html

I am usually on the go and have had problems with my vibrant dying on me. I would like to buy a spare battery and wall charger which are both efficient/quality and affordable. I use my phone extensively when I travel and it acts, almost, as a life line for me. Please advise with information on potential solution.
Thanks.
P.S. This question may have been asked before but can someone provide updated info/links.
Heres the wall charger I use - http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...ccessories&hash=item4aadd9fa50#ht_4889wt_1313
not sure about the battery because i paid a little more for the 1650mah one
this battery comes with a 3 year warranty - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BATTERY...ccessories&hash=item231427e052#ht_1381wt_1313
I bought an OEM spare battery with charging box on Amazon for about $25 six months ago. Maybe it would be cheaper now?

3 weeks ago I bought a wall charger with 2 1500mAh batteries for $11.00 off of eBay. They work great.
I'd send a link but not at a PC right now.

Awsome 3500 MA Replacement Battery With cover
Hey Brother, I run a Largecar for a living, and I use my phone more than anybody else I know of, including, navigation and as a speedometer!
This battery's worked out really well, and its incredibly priced right!!
The cover works perfect on my T-959 Vibrant even though its advertised for an I9000 which essentially are the same phones!!

Oh and BTW one more thing, when you go to Modding/flashing your phone, don't use this battery, take it out and use the OEM Samsung one, because its lacking some signature or code internally, and I found out the hard way, it wont allow ODIN or CWM to function right!! ODIN fails to pass until I swap to the OEM, and CWM wasn't acting right as well
Hope it works for you, It sure has for me!!
My battery is completely dead and is swollen to the point where I cant even get back cover on. I was looking to pick one up locally and I live in Chicago and thought it would be pretty easy to find replacement. Its not at all. Even the Sprint stores say they are all out of stock for replacement batteries for the E4T they only have the extended ones for 100bucks. I really dont want to be out of a phone a the few days that it will take to ship. Are there other phone batteries that work in a E4GT that may be more common that someplace like best by will have in store. Thanks
The OG epic....make sure u return that battery to Samsung and make them send you a new one. It may take 3 weeks, but your gonna need that

Just came across same problem in Orlando. 2 sprint stores, 2 batteries plus, 2 radio shacks, and one best buy. Nobody has our battery. Batteries plus could order it for me, and it'd cost $45. I ordered 2, plus an external charger off amazon, paid for overnight shipping, total cost $33. Regular shipping total was $14 I think.

Order on Amazon. I don't know if best buy carriers them in store but the do carry an extended battery and radio Shack has the same one as best buy. Check stock at stores around you. Or take it to your service provider, I think Sprint might switch it out. You can get the one from best buy or Radio Shack for like $25.

Cool, a sprint store gave me a battery even though I was out of warranty. Actually they didnt even see my phone. I pulled out the battery and showed them it was about to explode. She grabbed it took it in the back and brought out a new one. Its a 1500mah but she said to come see her tomorrow and shed give me the 1800. Very nice of her.
Also guys don't forget ATT and T-Mobile have Galaxy S2 in case something like this comes up again. Lots of swollen batteries lately.
Any sgs1/sgs2 battery will fit but sgs1 batteries are only 1500mah instead of 1800. You can find pairs with external chargers for about $25 on Amazon, Hyperion, anker and empire are the best non OEM brands. I'm actually going to sprint tomorrow to get mine replaced if they have any in stock around here, and then once I get a replacement I'm gonna order a pair with charger off of amazon so I have 3 i can rotate to help prevent the bulge reoccurring. Mines not super bulged but once it drops below 40% it will flicker and shut off and when i reboot its dead until I plug in and reboot then it jumps back to 40%+. Its quite annoying

I have purchased Hyperion back up batteries for my Note 2. I have used these on my S2 and S3 and they have always performed exceptionally well.
Now however, the batteries will not charge when in the phone. I have to use and external charger. Does anyone know of a fix for this situation? I have searched the entire site with no luck and also searched HF with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I remember seeing this problem in other forums and I don't think there is a solution except to buy OEM batteries. They don't cost much. I got 2 for $10 on eBay. They charge fine.

Thanks for letting us know not to buy these! Get a refund if you can.

Sorry you had to go through this. I tried a bunch of non-OEM batteries on previous phones, and they always seem to cause some of the weirdest problems (especially on my Sensation 4G - the screen would do bizarre things with non-OEM batteries). Luckily you had obvious problems - some people's lives become miserable due to subtle problems caused by bad batteries that they would never assume came from the battery.
I already bought a back-up OEM battery on eBay, though. I would recommend only New OEM batteries, though.
Im waiting for anker
I have purchased Hyperion batteries for my Galaxy S II and my original note and in both circumstances they gave me problems It seemed like the phone would run out of juice much faster than the OEM ones.
I would recommed sticking with Samsung original equipment. In my opinion, there is a reason they are less than half the price.
Hello all, I am a regular over at the Photon forums. I've just purchased a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and, naturally, went online to find the right extended batteries and cases. From what I have read, the OEM extended battery from Samsung that was released for Verizon works just fine. But, the extended backing apparently doesn't fit correctly on the Sprint version. I am aware that there are other third party extended batteries/covers but I've always been with the understanding that when it comes to batteries, stay with the original OEM. I've read through the forums for some information but am getting mixed reviews. Can someone shed some light onto this and perhaps point me in the right direction of a good extended battery with proper Sprint backplate? Thank you in advance.
::EDIT::
Btw, I would much like to stick with a 2100mAh ish sized battery. Not very interested in the huge bulky 3000mAh+'s.
call sprint. or you may be able to get it from their website. I got notice of it immediately in my Sprint "inbox." I got an extended battery for "free," just had to pay shipping...it's the samsung brand that comes with NFC embedded & the cover (associated with the larger battery).
Good Luck!

Calling worked. Theyre sending me one for free. Thanks for the heads up.
will the OEM extended battery + cover for Sprint Galaxy Nexus fit on the Verizon version of Galaxy Nexus?

The actual battery probably does, but the door probably does not considering it doesnt work well the other way around.
I have had a few faulty phones Galaxy S3's from o2 (Long story) and as a result they have offered me a Galaxy Note II, But its refurbished
Now they are sending me just the phone and battery and i send them back my faulty S3. So it means im stuck with the S3 charger, So will it fit and work ok ? (Maybe a noob question sorry)
Also it now means I don't have a box or accessories, I always keep my box for phones in case i want to sell after contract, so Im a bit peed off, that i don't have box.
So if anyone has there old box laying around with manual and accessories, I would be interested or if anyone knows where i can get one from
Phone is Titanium Grey, so would need a box for this phone.
The charger from the S3 will work just fine.

Charge will work just fine.
Will take longer to charge than the Note's original one (aprox 3 hrs to a full charge).
It will work, but will take significantly longer to charge, now than twice the time.
Try and get an original note 2 charger, the charging time saved is worth it.

I charge only at night because my battery life is so fantastic. So I don't really care if it takes 3 or 5 hours to charge. I use the original Note 2 charger by my bed.
I use my OLD Galaxy S2 charger sometimes when I just want to top off a little before I go to work or I have a long night ahead or for whatever the reason. But most micro usb chargers will work just fine. The only difference is charging time.
Cheers guys, I might go into O2 and tell them i want a new charger then. Cant see why I should have to pay out when phone was faulty.
Anyone know about getting a note 2 box ? or anyone willing to sell me theirs ?
Its interesting and unacceptable. If they accept to change with note 2 they Need to provide full box. Coz its not your fault.
But at least a profitable swap

Basically they are telling me, they are doing me a favour. They have given me the option to swap to the Note 2 due to 2 phones being faulty. Touchwiz stopped working on 1st phone and wouldnt respond, then 2nd phone they sent out, kept freezing and screen was going all weird.
They say they can only send me a refurbished unit, this comes with just battery and no charger or box. They said charger will work from S3 model.
I explained how i like to keep everything for phone, so i can sell it on after contract. But they just said, I would get same amount for phone regardless of if it had box or not lol.
Might go into store today and see what they say, hopefully they might be able to help me out, But if anyone on here wishes to sell me there old grey note 2 box please contact me
The note 2 Congress with a 2amp charger While s3 with a 1amp charger. I would ask them to get u a note 2 2 amp charger.

This sounds rather odd to me. Here in the Netherlands many stolen phones are sold, just the phone, without original charger or headphones. A box often functions as a proof of purchase. So I would not sell you mine.
You can get the original charger from eBay.

How is it odd ? have you checked ebay and seen note boxes for sale? there are a few but no note 2 boxes. Also there are loads of Samsung galaxy S3 boxes on ebay, and i dare say i will put my old box on ebay too, minus any info about IME number.
If on contract box is not proof of purchase, even if you have insurance with O2 they only ever send you a replacement phone and battery (refurbished not new)
$100 only. Sir.
+1..iam also ready to sell for 100 $...
Why do you need a box. ..we all pay full price in India here. .no subsidies. ..we have no problem needing the box. .. original bill recipient is enough for warranty issues
