I have a dual SIM Note II bought on eBay in 2013. It came with 2 batteries (EB595675LU) and the first one gave up on me about 2 months ago (it became "fat"). I replaced it with the second battery and ordered a replacement battery of higher capacity (and very cheap - from China). When that came, I saw it wouldn't fit the phone and I thought "at this price ... what can one expect?". Then I ordered an "original" EB595675LU replacement battery from a trustworthy North-American seller. By the time this one arrived, the second battery gave up on me as well (also became "fat"). Unfortunately, the new battery didn't fit either. I have done a lot of digging on the subject, and here is a summary of what I found:
The normal EB595675LU battery has the dimensions of about 74.5 X 55.0 X 5.5 mm; the one in my phone (also clearly labeled EB595675LU) is about 78.5 X 51.5 X 4.5 mm (longer, narrower and thinner). I tried to contact eBay and web sellers, Samsung Hong Kong, and "battery manufacturers" from China (Alibaba). A few Chinese manufacturers have acknowledged the "two sizes", but I have yet to see one to believe (and they usually want orders of 100+ pieces).
It seems that dual SIM Note II's were released for the Chinese market as N7102 and as SCH-N719 ... I googled for images, and none of the pictures showing the inside of either phone looked exactly as mine. In my phone's battery compartment there is a label stating Model N7102 and listing 2 IMEI's, and on top of its "Model" area there is another label, listing 2 different IMEI's. According to one battery seller, what I've got is a "high-copied phone" ... whatever that means. Finally, the only Samsung battery with a similar "form factor" seems to be the Note 3 battery, but haven't yet tried one to see how it fits.
I have seen on this forum and web site that there are people physically modifying their phones in amazing manners. I am an electrical engineer, so I would be OK with some physical tweaking as well. So ... anybody has any suggestions, ideas or pointers (other than "buy a new phone") that could help me put this phone back in a working state?

I need a battery, and I really can't afford to wait for one to come in the mail.
Its usually not such a good idea to fit batteries other than the ones prescribed for your phone. The slightest change in the specifications especially volts etc can cause problems with the device itself.
I tried fitting my car battery in my S630 and for some reason the back cover wouldn't stick. I definetely recommend the ones listed for your phone.
Other batteries
The 630 is not the most common phone. Fortunately, the battery for the S710 (also called the VOX) is much more common and is identical. Not sure about others but at least this gives you some options ...
the battery for the Dash is the same.
I wish the dash battery fit, I have five, but it doesn't.
Did any service provider in the USA offer the S710?
Right now I'm using a Samsung SGH-t109 and I've had WM since 2003, so its definitely driving me crazy using this thing. =(
I have cash but my accounts overdrafted so I can't order one online yet. Would be lovely if I could find somewhere here in Houston selling them.
I have an extended battery that I bought from E-bay, its not a genuine Dell battery. I use it and it will not start up my Pocket PC. Should I buy a geniune Dell battery? I don't think I should have bought this battery. If anyone has or had the same problem let me know. Your comments will help a lot.
As we dedicate only to HTC devices you wont get too much attention.
better try here:

Good luck,
You probably got ripped off by some bum fleaBay reseller. There's thousands of cheap batteries out there, and if possible yes you should buy an actual Dell from one of the resellers - the problem is that a lot of those resellers are based in Hong Kong and outside the US (and many other places) and they will put pictures of an actual Dell battery in the ad, and when you order one based on that info (the ad and the picture) you get screwed when the battery you get isn't what you were expecting.
Stick with resellers that have high ratings (98% or higher), that are based in the US or wherever you happen to be (country-wise), that specifically state that it's an actual Dell replacement battery, that offers a return policy IN WRITING in the ad, and is affordable for you.
While this forum may not provide direct support for the Axims themselves, they are arguably the most popular PocketPCs out there even years later (meaning a dedicated PocketPC, not a phone, not a Smartphone, etc) - and the question is legitimate in many respects because HTC built the Axims for Dell originally, hence they are HTC devices.
This forum is about XDA hardware and Windows Mobile to a great degree, and the Axims fit right into those categories...
To the OP: look specifically for actual Dell replacement batteries as noted, or go get one of the Mugen brand batteries for the Axims, those are the best replacement batteries you can get. You can find the Mugen batteries listed here at the bottom of the page:

Good luck...
ps
The one that I've used on fleaBay was named asellertool in the recent past, picked up a few stock 1100 mAh batteries that are actual Dell batteries, never had any issues with them and I use them in my X51v on a rotating basis (I have 4 now, always keep one on the docking cradle and then rotate 'em out, I put numbers on 'em with a marker so I know they're being used equally).
So, Hey guys I'm new here. Well the topic tells what's the problem my S3 is having. I need to take the battery out and recharge it again in order to use it. I've had it for a little over 1 year. If this is something to do with replacing my battery or hardware issue, please inform me here. I'm about to move to a new country and it'll be difficult to get it fixed there. Waiting for a reply ASAP! Thanks
I got this with faulty batteries, i replaced it for a genuine one and it stopped doing it!
Brother had the same problem and all he had to was replace the battery with one from a recommended provider.
I tried replacing the battery but I'm still having the same prow, help?

Usually the battery is the issue. If not, it may be with faulty hardware or the kernel you are using is not stable.
I had this issue with a BD-series battery (OEMed by BYD for Samsung). About a month from the first occurrence of this, the battery got swollen up. Several fake batteries that people tried to sell me also produced the same issue. Swapped out with a genuine AA-series (Samsung SDI) battery, problem gone.
By any chance, do other people with this issue also have a battery with a S/N beginning with BD?
BTW, recently I've been seeing some AA-series, "Made in China" or "Cell made in China, assembled in Korea" batteries, in genuine-looking retail packages. These mostly show up in Samsung stores & service centers where I live, indicating that they are genuine - however, all previous AA-series batteries I've seen were either "Made in Korea", "Cell made in Korea, assembled in...", "Made by Samsung SDI", or "Cell made by Samsung SDI, assembled in...", with the actual cell (below the "sticky" coating) engraved with "Made in Korea" and a valid Samsung SDI model number. And after a Samsung authorized reseller gave me an AA-series, "Cell made in China, assembled in China" (a nonexistent designation - a genuine one would just say "Made in China") battery with missing NFC coil ,which they claim to have sourced directly from Samsung Hungary; I call the reliability of Hungarian Samsung outlets into question. So, be on the lookout for these batteries, they are probably relabeled BYD units, if not outright fakes, and could have the same issue.
Surprised u have not heard of this phenom suffered by this particular phone. Its called SDS (sudden death syndrome). Problem happens after this phone passes the 1 year mark.
Found out that Samsung used to replace the phone (even if it had been rooted). They said it was fixed in one of their updates (think it was 4.2) but I don't think it fixed the issue.
Wrote an email to Samsung about how thousands of people have this issue. Sent them tons of links.
Long story short....even though my warranty has been long over, they just replaced my board, screen, battery, and gave me new USB cable and charger. Only thing they didn't change was the body. I got a new phone. Strange!
I think they are trying to keep it hush so if you are strong, not rude, and advise that may have to post YouTube vids and posts about your dissatisfaction, they will bend....
Good luck!
Had the same problem on my dad's S2. Replaced the battery and its fixed.
Very good question
Very good question, a great help to me.
this happened to me when my battery swelled, I replaced it and it get fixed. Check your battery.
Hey guys, I'm looking for a replacement battery for my Tab s 8.4 T700. Does anyone know if this is a legit posting? BATTERY URL . On a side note, are there any things I should be worried about, such as exploding and stuff by using a off brand battery battery? Thanks!

So I did a little digging and found some part numbers for the battery in an SM-T700 US version XAR?
This site http://www.batterybay.net/Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S-8-4-p/samsung-cs-smt700sl.htm shows a black battery and if you scroll the page to the part numbers listed these appear to be Samsung's part numbers :
Part number: Samsung EB-BT705FBC, Samsung EB-BT705FBE, Samsung EB-BT705FBU
This site shows the same part numbers but no photo: http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/PID-GH43-04211A.aspx?model=SM-T700NTSSXAR
And yet another site: http://bigupgadgets.com/battery-eb-...t700-sm-t705-01-007625.html?fee=18&fep=183624
Also shows the battery as being black not white...
So..if it were me - I would NOT buy the cheap one from ebay being as there have been problems all over the world with batteries bursting in flames even while not being charged...
I'm sure someone here has replaced their battery and can tell you more than I can find

Thanks man, I'm going to bump this to see if anyone else has any info!
I've replaced battery in my T700 with this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...32466260763.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.HVMxr6
I can confirm it is original and it's working fine for more than 6 monts now. Still holding excellent, in fact much better than the original one. But that's mostly cos i changed my usage scenarios
I opened up my case and intended to replace the battery with one of the suggestions I've found here, but upon inspecting my cables directly connected to the battery I found one was not fully inside the plastic adapter that locks into the tablet's male connection. I reinserted it fully and reconnected the battery to the tablet, put it on the charger, and it's been two full days without any issues. No extreme battery level fluctuations, sudden power downs, green lines, or black screens. I ordered the second battery just in case, but it looks like it won't be necessary for some time.
Hi!
I am trying to read the Battery Discharge Cycles (or whatever parameter would give me a similar information) on a Samsung S20+. Tried different apps but none works. The closest so far - Phone Info Samsung - actually can read this on my old Samsuns S8, but there is no such info on the S20+.
Any idea how I can get this info w/o rooting the phone?
Background info: I purchased a "new" Samsung S20+ via ebay with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday ebay rebate.
The phone was listed as new, just with a "damaged" packaging.
This is correct, the package is damaged. But the package was not longer sealed, there were no plastic protection on the phone. The back code bar label seems also applied later (it is unevenly cut and there is only the IMEI, no other info - model number, ...). All accessories are from some older model Samsung phones (USB A to USB C cable, an older USB A charger, 3.5 mm jack headphones, ...
The phone is also build for a different country than Germany, but this is less relevant for me.
What is more important is that the phone has been manufactured in February. It has no scratches and if I can be sure that it has been charged around 30 times, than that is fine.But if someone had it for ~ 9 months, used it w/o care than I would rather buy a really new phone and forget the 8% black Friday rebate.
Sorry. I don't have the answer but I would like to know what kind of software is able to give such infos.
About your ebay S20+ : was the price that a great deal to "risk" buying such a "new" phone ?
@gilzve : best so far is Phone Info Samsung - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
or using adb tools, coneecting to the phone and going to sys/class/power_supply/battery and reading the values of fg_cycle (number of charge cycles) fg_fullcapnom (capacity nominal).
The last part only works on my Samsung S8, on the S20 + I can not change to the battery folder - access denied.
price: as stated, it was not much, it is just 8% off, around 590 EUR. And on e-bay it said: "new, just the packaging is damaged". Fake news or lies, however you want to call that.
side note: although I understand why the battery folder is protected I am quite unhappy that there is no easy way to read the charge cycles of an Android phone today. On Apple devices this is a default feature for ages and to be honest it is very handy: if you want to see what the state of your device is or when purchasing a second hand device (have no idea if the charge cycle count can be manipulate or not..).
I want to change my battery. Is there a way to reset the counter so that the battery is treated like a new one and not a used one with reduced capacity / charge?
