I need an extra samsung oem 1650mah battery. Does anyone know where it can be bought in america?
i take it you checked google/ebay/amazon? i know there was another thread dedicated to this topic a while back. try to search for it.
It seems like all sellers are in europe which seems strange for an american phone
strange for an "american phone" made by a korean company?
Uh I didn't have to buy the phone in korea. As far as I know they don't sell t-mobile branded phones in korea.

Fairly sure he meant that Samsung is a Korean company.

And I meant the phone is sold in america sold so the battery should be. What if it goes bad/gets lost etc
i dont get why your so upset at the fact you cant just walk in a store and get a battery for a specific phone. i work in a place that sells phones, batteries and accessories. if we carried every battery made for every phone it would fill the store two times over. just order the battery.

This phone shares the exact same dimensions as a few other phones in the samsung line up and there are multiple capacities available that are all the exact same size battery (for instance, the Vibrant has a 1500mAh battery compared to the SGS4G's 1650mAh battery even though both batteries are exactly the same size) . So Im sure being that other SGS4G/Vibrant variants being sold elsewhere in the world, this is why you can find batteries in many different places around the world.
My local Tmobile store has them (Fort Worth TX)
It also seems amazon has them as well.
local store
lol, my local store in Plano Texas tried to sell me the vibrant battery kit....i had to ask the guy to read the mAh until he figured out he was wrong.
i don't care that they don't have them at the store, but jeez....at least know what you are selling!
This battery is fifty in a store. Go to amazon ten bucks

Also the 1800mAh one from the S2 Epic 4G Touch works great....I got mine from Amazon for $7 delivered in 4 days....it came from California
What is the BEST battery for this phone?
I just got the Galaxy S 4G (used), and it came with the original 2011 battery. It seemed to be "OK", but I wanted something better. I wanted something newer.
I purchased an "authentic" Samsung 1650 battery off eBay for $13. It has a 2013 manufacture date.
Well, I got it, and immediately felt something was "off". The font & spacing were slightly different than my old battery, and it had a "cheaper" feel to it, and its label wasn't even on the battery correctly. It looks like a typical counterfeit battery.
I pop it in my phone, and it seems to run out a lot quicker than my old battery. I've 0% to 100% cycled it a few times, and it still seems weak.
So, I could try to get another "authentic" Samsung that probably is a fake, or I can embrace the "after-market" batteries and go for an *extended* one.
I've seen 1750 mAh and 1900 mAh batteries. Are those any good? Do they at least last longer than a Samsung 1650 mAh battery?
This what I bought..they work great.
No problems at all and you get 2
plus a charger just for the battery's.

Whatever is the case, the Andida company and other after market companies like it are notoriously known to over rate their batteries on an average of 30% or so. Just Google it.

Need a 2nd battery for my phone..wont even last a day while I work. Need it pretty fast so anywhere online that delivers quick to uk!
Anyone know any legit sites? Cheers!
Mobilefun do them for about £20; don't know if you'd class that as cheap or not (they also do cheaper unbranded ones, no idea if those are any good). Plus they deliver pretty quickly (dispatched on day of order, arrived the following day 1st class post).

No experience with them I'm afraid, but I'd be wary having read through some of their negative feedback (particularly the recurring ones along the lines of 'not genuine, Chinese copy' etc. on listings with "Genuine" in the title (although these weren't all specifically for batteries)).
Might be alright, might not be, but I guess that's the risk you take trying to do things cheaply.
I've bought of E-Cell in the past. Cheap stuff. Delivery is tad slow from times I have dealt with them.
Hmm OEM batteries stated might be fake but i still suggest getting it from people who sells the original htc's one
I sweet talked htc uk and they sent me another one. Have a go.

If you want it quick you might as well forget about buying from e-cell. I've ordered many times in past as there cheap but their delivery is slow as snails. You could probably get something shipped over from China quicker than them.

I have moved on from SGR to Nexus 4 but still my SGR is in use and is with my wife. I am running Stock Indian ICS (rooted).
Lately my wife is complaining that the battery is dying very fast. Even though it is charged overnight, it just dies in couple of hours. I have noticed that the battery has also bulged and based on some googling it is a definite case of battery going kaput. Now I am in need of a new battery and was wondering if it is fine to order it from EBay India where the cost of the batteries varies from INR 375 to 1K or should I try any other local shop. Need advice from you friends.

Batteries are life for Mobile. But if we choose Bad one then It may be harmful too. So, I would suggest to go for Branded & Original product then pirated or looking same kinda.

I definitely want to buy an original battery as I dont want to take any kind of risk as I have seen many cases in news of exploding batteries.
Would it be a good idea to visit the Samsung Service Center for the new battery? Do they sell it?
I got mine recently at ssc..costs around 600 rs

Thanks all. Visited the nearest SSC but they didn't have it in stock. Then went to a Samsung SmartPhone Cafe in Phoenix Market City and got it for Rs.550 with 6 months warrenty. At first they said that they dont have any battery for GSR and I had to convince them that it is the same as I9100. After matching the model number they gave it to me.......

okay..so I should not buy this, correct?
If the business is BBB credited I'm pretty sure this isn't a scam site. but I don't know because they do have a few negative reviews on there.

Don't waste your money over something that you're not really sure off. Just my 2 cents

um, BBB is not useful
they basically accept money from businesses, and businesses put their label on their website. BBB doesn't do much other than that
Any site that still thinks there is a difference between the 32GB and 16GB battery is misinformed and I would not buy anything from them. That was a false rumor going around about the Nexus 5 having 2 battery sizes.
The website is also outdated/amateurish looking and not the type of place I would input any credentials into.
There's a post within a "3000mAh" thread somewhere in the general section that mentions how to get a 3000mAh battery into the Nexus 5 - I'm pretty sure it involved a LG G2 battery and de-soldering the N5's battery pcb and resoldering it to the G2 battery.

Why not just buy battery case? Its a case with battery built in. Internal battery plus the battery case will go way over 4500mah.
I saw one for about $50 on amazon.
only con is that adds little thickness but I think its better approach over risk breaking trying open up the phone.

The battery on my Nexus 4 no longer holds a charge very well. Neither LG or Google directly sell replacement batteries from what I gather. Does anyone know a reputable source to purchase an OEM replacement battery? I'm considering this seller on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-BL-T5-BL..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2a386ff701
but you just never really know what's legitimate these days. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Also,
Does anyone know where I can find an OEM Nexus 4 USB cable? I know any micro usb would suffice but I happen to like the aesthetic design of that cable.

LG service centers do provide battery replacements for a cost. I got mine replaced a couple of months back for around $22.

Battery "life" of a lithium ion is around 500 cycles. If you've charged your phone daily, you've hit that 500 cycle mark. At this point, your battery has probably lost up to 20% of its capacity.

Dude, why would you buy a screen from eBay for 90 euros and don't even know 100% if it's original, when for 80 euros you can buy it directly from LG. I bought one a month ago and it's amazing, plus you have 1 year warranty.
