Source for GOOD batteries?

I'm getting pissed with all the POS oem batteries for the S3 these days. Is going to Samsung direct my only option to get a GENUINE one? I don't see where they sell them and I don't trust eBay based on experience.

I know you can get them at Office Depot. Or you could at least, several months ago.

Pick up some Anker 2200s on Amazon or similar store.
Who cares if battery is OEM? Just get one from a reputable company.

Then don't buy an OEM battery. Buy Anker instead.

Tried them. They suck just like the others. The contacts on Ankers wear out more quickly too.

Great I'll look into it.

Are you certain your issues are the batteries and not your setup and use of your device?
There are lots of things that can lead to miserable battery life even on the most solid of batteries.

Yes I'm certain. The genuine Samsung battery lasts much longer than the poor ones.

I don't think that was Doc's question. I think he wanted to know if you are experiencing poor battery life due to the batteries or some issue with android setup that's causing immense drain ?

I guess I'm confused. If the same phone is used in a manner consistent with whatever battery is used, what else could the explanation be?

Basically, you started down this path due to a drain on the Stock Battery right ? Would you be able to shed some light on that ?

Sure. Brand new phone just purchased. Very few programs installed. Battery used was purchased off eBay. When indicator light showed fully charged I unplugged. Battery remaining went immediately from 100% to 88%. After 6 hours of light use, battery was already down to 40%. Within 20 minutes it fell off the cliff and phone turned off ... basically fully discharged.
Next, stock battery installed. 1 day 12 hours later battery still shows 55% remaining.

In that case I'd recommend Monster ZeroLemon 7000 MAh again.People here on XDA have really tried to suck every drop of juice out of it. It had stood all that abuse very well. Buy it from Amazon so you have solid Return Policy in case of trouble.

Thanks, I'll seriously consider it though the added thickness is a concern. If I could get 2 extra batteries close to the performance of the stock battery and at a combined price close to the ZeroLemon I would be satisfied.
How long does it typically take to charge one of those monsters?

I don't think their form factor would have issues with the SIII's casing.
I do believe they take roughly 4 hours or so with Samsung's original Charger. I don't have one myself so I have second hand information. It is true that if you have a Fast Charge Kernel, this is further reduced. I am guessing, if you charge off of a PC, of course it will practically take forever to finish :laugh:
My 1 year old stock battery goes me 3 days if on Standby all the time.It will last 1 & 1/2 to 2 days if I use conservatively.

Just fyi, fast charge kernels only make a difference when plugged into a PC and maybe a DC (car) outlet. And correct that the batteries should be the same size and ought to work fine. Only real thing to make note of is if you use any NFC features make sure the battery you get has this capability.

Bit OT here, but my regular Kernel KT747, now (in recent version) has special code for the 11th pin of the MHT port. So I am given to understand the Fast Charge thus implemented actually affects the way it charges off wall. I am testing since yesterday.

The theory behind fast charge kernels is that when you plug into a PC it detects the data connection and limits charging to 500ma or so. Fast charge kernels allow you to disable the data connection, thereby fooling it into thinking it's plugged into a normal charger and bypassing that limit.
The extra pins don't have anything to do with charging. Only 4 of them do. Before fast charge kernels were introduced people would sometimes short two of the wires in the connector (usually with solder) to accomplish the same thing.
As I understand it the 11 pins are just used with the MHL adapter for HD output. They don't have anything to do with charging. Otherwise a basic USB cable probably wouldn't even work.
I believe there are a few in depth write-ups about fast charge kernels here on xda if you want to search for more info on it.

New to wireless charging

Hey people,
New to wireless charging here, my girlfriend just bought a wireless charger for my birthday. Just one question, when you are charging and you need to use the phone, should I pick it up or leave it there and try to use? I mean, if I keep picking it up to use, wouldn't the constant charging/stopping damage the battery? Please help me out!
Thank you!

No, it's fine. Pick it up as many times as you want. I have different wireless pads scattered throughout my house, office and car, that it will not "hurt" it.

It's probably fine. But if by constant you mean literally every 5 seconds then maybe not.
Also there's a xposed mod to disable the sound every time you put it on the pad if they annoy you too constantly.
BTW it'd be great if I had a techy girlfriend

thanks for the comments guys

AFAIK li-ion batteries does not suffer from any memory effect and they even last longer when kept charged. Battery charge cycles are still there as an indicator of the goodness of the battery from the manufacturer but they are related to a full cycle (eg how much current passes through the battery) but smaller charging cycles shouldn't be counted as full.

Just use the pads no need to "worry" about the battery. In some instances batteries will need replacement, but many replace their devices well before you see an issue.
I don't want to go to e-war about batteries. I am just going by personal experience. I have my N4 still, which my wife uses and still uses charging pad still no issues there either.

Could you provide some references for our edification? I admit I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject but my understanding is that charge cycling is bad at or near full charge. I don't know that this a problem at lower charge levels (let's say <90%).

I don't have an EE degree but from what I understand newer batteries cycles are a full charge from 0-100. I read something on apples' website explaining this. So charging it twice from 50-100 would be one cycle.

You might be right about the charge cycles, as most things seem to relate to amount of power transferred through the battery, and not 'depth of discharge" but honestly many people I've met who plug their phones in all the time to top up, end up having to get the battery replaced after a year. Apple product, ok no problem they do it free for like 2 years; but I've done nothing but run my batteries all the way down every time and slowcharge every night on USB-500mA (gentler current, kinder to battery, cooler temps, and even a slightly more thorough charge) (just 5% POSSIBLY 10% it's hard to say...probably 5%...I guess I should test this)

EE to charge? No, I'm just saying you might want to think twice before picking up 20 times a day from the pad. Better to get MightyText for when you're at your PC/work to text with.
the google charging pad IS better I would have less issues charging on one of those. However, I'm a cheapie, and use $10 chargers, which heat my phone usually to 40C for a full 0%-100% charge. Not best, but I have resigned myself to the reality of potentially replacing the battery in 18 months if I want the convenience of charging pads everywhere. You might wish to think this way as well. Also, after 18 months, maybe you could just charge it at every opportunity (at that point, who cares, you only need it for another 18 months probably) and that would be enough.

All I know is since 1998 I charge my phones to 100% as often as I can find a charging device. I am the only one on my family plan of 5(the others run battery down daily to~30% or more) that doesn't replace their battery before their next upgrade. So my motto is *Top up every chance you get*.

Not sure if it makes a difference but nexus 5 uses newer li-po batteries not li-ion.

Battery health

My device has 2 weeks and was charged only 6 or 7 times, but AccuBattery reports that my battery has capacity of 2800 mAh instead of expected 3000 mAh, which gives 93% health.
I know that these are only estimates, but at my previous device, Xperia Z it was very close to official specification (99%).
Should I worry about my OnePlus and already submit a warranty ticket, or maybe battery in this phone is really that weak? Might someone post his results from this or similar app?

Bought my op3 and it's measuring less than 2800MAh, I'm getting pretty good battery life so I don't know if the app is just not accurate or what.

Maybe AccuBattery detects wrong amps during charging/discharging per 1%. I think that's how it estimates total battery capacity. At least I hope so.

Yeah I hope so anyways I am able to get about a day of battery backup with normal usage so it's fine

What about today? The same health? This is a scary topic.

2771mAh for me. Don't expect an app to be able to do these calculations accurately. My battery is still fine.

Anyway, there something strange here, i can't find any replacement battery for OP3 with the "original mAh" i found only 2450mAh in any site that i search for it.

Guys. Have u seen the teardown video. Battery can be replace like withing 5 minutes. I was concerned at first cause im olanning on keeping my device for a year or more. But this is one of the easier device to repair if something goes bad

As far as I know OnePlus is NOT selling their parts. The only way you'll get genuine replacement parts is by sending the phone to official service center.

Don't get scared about that issue. My OP works great even without 3000mAh, I easily can get 5 days of standby, with normal usage, only with turned off phone at night
Edit: Maybe easily is too much said, I use 50% pixel filter and Efficiency battery mode, then OP consumes 20% battery per day. But even without it you can still get 3-4 days, with some calls and photos made, plus some time spent on the Feedly

I honestly don't know. One time it got down to 20% after about close of two and a half days of use and I plugged it in before I went to bed and in the morning it's at 100% (around 7 hours of sleep).
The first day I got it I plugged it in and charged it for about 8 hours even though it has 80% charge out the box just to make sure.

So i don't have this exact item, i have the Zerolemon battery/case, pretty much the same looking case.
I bought a triple pack of these (when the triple pack was available) just so I had room for error.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NFC-Antenn...LS997-VS995-/142761205846?hash=item213d3b2056
The trick isn't getting it on the case, it's getting it on the phone, then actually using it. I got it prety much in a spot now where i can have google pay work 80-90% of the time, otherwise the card terminal thinks I'm placing multiple cards on the reader. I have to generally tilt the phone sideways a bit and hold it at an angle for it to detect properly @ Walgreens.

I got the LG V20 Battery Perfine 6400mAh and am pretty happy with it - have had it for some time now. It was like the feel of having a whole new mobile when I put it on. 6400mAh has been enough for me for a whole day and I don't remember that iv had any day that it could not go through a day of work as of yet. Maybe I need to do some harder use on it but overall it seems I don't need something with more juice then this.

Perfine V20 10500 mAh.... Im not sure if it's really 10500 though. Maybe just 10000 mAh

Let it get to about 10%. Here's the stats,
9+ hours of screen in time, haven't charged in 2 days.
This is a great battery.
Thanks to the OP for pointing it out on here

Does the back of the phone heat a lot when charging or during heavy usage/browsing/gaming for the 10500mah/6400mah?

Is it ok to keep uncharged for few months?

Need some advice please.
Bought a used note 10 plus on eBay Australia. Unfortunately due to the current situation it will be June when I finally get my hands on it. Meanwhile my friend in Australia will keep it idling in the box. No charge. Is that bad for the battery ? Any advice ? Thanks.

As long as it was mostly or fully charged before being stored there should be no problem.
There may be a problem if it was fully discharged and then put away for a few months.
This has to do with the battery as even though it isn't being used the battery continues to discharge, if it gets too low it won't be able to recharge. This will require you to replace the battery which can be an expensive endeavor, especially here in Oz...

After charging , keep phone on or off ? Would there be any difference?

Thank you very much. Will check out.

Even with a 30% charge it should be good for a half a year. If that TKOs the battery it needed replacement anyway.
Store in a cool dry place.
