[GSM] True Stock battery Replacement?

I have the incredibly annoying issue where my phone will tell me its charging, when its really not.
Apparently the only fix to this is a new battery.
But try and find the original battery and its just impossible. Does anyone know of where I can get the official GSM Samsung Battery?
Thanks.

Nope. Anyone else?
Shipping in October doesn't count either.

Here is a link for you. I bought my white battery door from this place. This link is to the OEM battery.
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-battery/

samsung, expansys and many online stores.

i have one couple weeks old i bought the extended one i have the back cover too let me know

shimshop the ebay seller, that sells the genuine samsung extended batteries, has both the regular battery and the regular battery door, but it is just not listed, you can send them a message from your ebay account saying you want the regular oem battery not the extended one, usually they respond very quickly and are accomodating.

Is this place reputable? How was your experience? $10 for a OEM battery seems like a good price to me.

Finally received mines yesterday from parts4repair. Their battery is NOT nfc capable even though it says it on the exterior.
Disclaimer: I did not test it out on a POS terminal, I tested it with my CharlieCard (Boston's subway card). The original battery was able to detect the card, the parts4repair battery didn't.

I took a sharpie across the nfc label to distinguish it from the original battery. I guess 10 bucks for an nfc battery was too good to be true. I'll still carry it around for when I need extra juice.

Tmobile Note 2 Bugs/Fixes

I know this is gonna happen so let us start it now. The first issue I've run into with my Note 2. I was listening to music via Google Music and I plugged into power source and music started skipping; when I unplugged it began to work normal again....any suggestions?

The first problem I noticed is that there is a typo on the phone battery cavity. It says 1300 mAh and it should read 3100

Why is ther no support for FM radio on the TMobile version according to Engadget ( link: http://www.engadget.com/update/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-usa/ )

so with my music issue what I did was unplug and replug a few times to get it to stop skipping. I'm currently listening with no issue I haven't tried to recreate anything in fear of skipping music again. I will plug in and give it a whirl when I get home to see if it skips ..... if it doesn't then I'll just mark it down as weirdness

My international note says that too.
3.8V - 1300 mA.
So that means the fastest charging current is 1.3A? 3.5/1.3 = 2.7 hours to charge with the best charger?

Ijust don't find the stylus a responsive as my finger sometimes. For example when Web browsing, I can't consistently get the bookmarks icon in the upper right corner of the screen in portrait orientation screen to consistently register when using the stylus. It works every time when I use my finger.
They said the tip of the stylus is rubbery, but when it taps the screen it clicks like it's made of plastic. I've never used the stylus for the first note but when they said rubber tip I was expecting it to be rubbery like an eraser but it still feels plasticy

Samsung has a track record of not including FM Radio on the US release of their phones. Not sure why that is. The One Series from HTC have them.

My international charger is 2A...charges very fast. Wonder why T-Mo neutered the charging power for it's Note 2? It's the same 3100mAh battery...strange.

I am from Grand Rapids, MI and I have the T-mobile that I got today and it says 3100mah on the battery so maybe you just picked the wrong place to get your phone.... LOL You got a SanmSung....
**I also notice on the T-mobile version that when you go to the dialer and press *#0*# there are more test options....??**

mA and mAh are two different units. One is current, the other is electric charge.

Well your not too far off... I went to the store on Alpine in Grand Rapids and they had 3 Titanium in stock and they said the Samsung rep just left and he also told them that they most likely will not see any other storage configurations... That would blow... Gimme a 32gb!! I was the 1st person from that store to call about a Note 2 and was the first one to pick one up and that was at 12:30 this afternoon so the demand seems kinda low since they only had 3 and they still had all three after noon! I am the 100% 1st certified 'GEEK" to walk outta that store with a big smile...

Nice the sprint corp on Ivanrest has 4 of them. I didn't bother with the 28th st corp sprint because they for the most part have been useless and both times I have went there they botched my account.

Ya I used to work at Sprint years ago as a technician but now, with most of all service centers closed down, they just give you a refurb instead of bothering with getting it fixed... It was good while it lasted but, as you know, the economy is not very well over here... :crying:

[Q] NFC battery replacements i9250 - very difficult to find!

I've bought 5 batteries now, all claimed to have NFC but they don't have it.
Where can I buy a replacement NFC battery? Do I have to make one? If so, how?
The batteries I have bought you need to avoid include:
- http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Capac...UTF8&qid=1403692932&sr=1-5&keywords=I9250+nfc
- various from dinodirect sold as NFC but they actually don't have them
- a pisen from ebay. I think this brand doesn't make them
What is the address to buy one direct from Samsung?

Is there a way to find out of the battery supports NFC without using a nfc-tag? I bought one from mugen and could check it out for you.

That would be great, thanks
You could try the NFC Info. app for this.
Things to try:
- passports with the chip sign on the front
- newer credit cards
- keycards for getting in apartments
- anti theft rfid tags in stores. Common in the perfume section including toilet smellies
- many book stores put the tags inside the cover of books or in a random page
I contacted Samsung UK directly for a replacement. They were unable to point me to somewhere that has the batteries. When I really pressed hard (because I need this battery or I have to buy another phone) they ignored me. I think they are no longer making the batteries but enforcing the patent on the battery NFC design to prevent others from making them. The only people claiming to make them now as a result are fakers. This is anticompetitive of course and it means that if you buy a Samsung phone you can expect it to start to become broken in terms of NFC after a year or 2 as the battery fades. I think the practice has extended to newer phones. If true (that they're using this as a way to break our phones to get us to buy new ones) then I won't be buying a Samsung again.

I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Onite-Extende...981067&sr=8-1&keywords=i9250+extended+battery
Works very well, still works as it did the first day it came (about 4 months ago)

Thanks! Went to buy but they won't send to the UK or Spain unfortunately. A friend in Hong Kong has bought me one that hopefully is real. If not then I might get in touch to see if you want to sell me yours on at a profit

Just see if you can get a freight forwarder from the US to the UK. Or as we call them in my country a Skybox account.

This is the one I bought in 2012 and has worked perfectly since. It's a genuine Samsung extended battery with NFC.

I'm also looking for a battery replacement. The one that venni posted comes with a whopping 34$ shipping fees so that's not acceptable. Any other suggestions? Ebay is filled with these 2$ "superpower" batteries but I'm sure they are crap.

Delivery charges are same as the battery itself.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The shipping is expensive possibly because batteries are no longer allowed in air freight. Some companies accept them, but charge a lot more... or so I heard.
This is very much something to think about when you buy a new phone - buy a new battery while you can get one!

I bought 3 batteries. No one had NFC.
I'm thinking about buying this
http://www.ebay.it/itm/NFC-Antenna-..._Phone_Accessories&hash=item4ac9d6f8e8&_uhb=1
and connect with wires to the two nfc pins.
Do you think it would work?

Hi everyone!
Can I trust ebay/aliexpress for new battery? Any after-buying suggestions? (ebay preferred..)
Like most of ppl, since I updated to 5.0.2 lp my battery drops from 30% to 0..
As I see it, after a lot of research and experiments, it's probably hardware issue..

Would you say it's on par with original battery, when you bought phone?
There are multiple sources online, I found some in Latvia and Spain, but they all look the same, don't know if it is worth to pay a bit extra for them.
I've just bought this phone as used, second hand phone and I'm getting ~4hours screen on time, on wifi, 3g, whatsapp, messenger, without gaming and lowered adaptive brightness. Don't know if it's worth buying new battery or that should be normal.

Often chinese batteries have those capacities are just written and batteries aren't half proclaimed capacity. But if it holds charge as original, that's whats important. Thank you very much. Do you remember at which seller you bought it, can you post link or send me as PM?

Yes.
That's a little tricky - there's 2 stickers- a brown electronic one, and a silver metal one beneath. Be sure to move BOTH to the new battery. I had some problems until I realized that.
The easiest way is to cut around the whole thing with sharp blade and stick it back in the new battery.
Good luck!

Where and when were the replacement Note 7.2 produced?

Can you please inform, where and when your replacement unit has been produced?
You can find out this with the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app from Google Play
There must be a way to find out, even if we don't see the square on the box - e.g. when buying a used Note 7 ...
Thanks !

Vietnam 31/8.....indicates this problem was known about for a while or that factory wasn't using the SDI batteries.

from what I've read Samsung won't be using their internal battery supply dept for these due to issues and that they are looking to their other suppliers for fulfillment. I'm sure they are just using existing battery stock (not SDI) to fulfill exchanges then when back up to full capacity can fulfill existing orders and new stock orders.
