Hi folks!
I have ordered and tried that replacement battery (look in google, from sunsky. can not yet post urls).
Though I had read somewhere that its actual capacity may vary from 2000 up to 2500mAh, I wanted give it a try because it is not so expensive, with a hope that it helps a bit.
Anyone else have tried it already?
Unfortunately I can tell, that I feel no difference to our standard 1800mAh. But I may be wrong.
For that reason I would like use a battery life testing tool and as a reference point, what tool would you suggest me to use to check the battery life from both?
Thanks
I've tried that battery (http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/3...r+Samsung+T699+++Galaxy+S+Relay+4G+++i415.htm)
Unfortunately I found it was sh!ter then the stock battery we have.
Also that sunsky battery lacks NFC. It's cheap for a reason, bad quality in my experience.
Check Nards tweak to the stock 2100mah Samsung S3 battery.
I've performed that trick to 4 of those batteries, and can safely say they perform wonders.

There is a Gold S3 battery available....
Remember the one that went over so well for the 4G Slide?
hehe, considering getting one of those. Only problem is, if I get it and mod it I can't return it if it doesn't come out right
Hello dillalade
yes it is that one from your link which I tried also. I had been indeed influenced by the thread from Nards tweak when gtmaster303 mentioned that battery.
Thats why I wanted give a try to this one first before going further to the tweak.
Also I wanted post this to Accessories first, but because this seems like a question so I came here, and after collecting details I could report there my results as well. (The video on the registration makes you a bit down and stressed, so trying to be careful.)
Can anyone suggest me an app to test the capacity in order to compare them?
@gtmaster303
good idea again to try with Gold S3 battery hehe
@gtmaster303

I've been looking into the gold battery and you can't always assume they're all the same. Get it from the same seller that's been verified to supply good batteries.
Either way it's still a win for us as the battery has a much higher capacity already. We should see a great improvement in battery no matter which S3 battery we buy

I suspect 'unable to return' won't be your only problem.......
From past readings, I read the Gold S3 battery was slightly thicker than the stock S3 battery.
If my interpretation is correct, then that gold battery (being thicker than stock) would be very hard to accommodate in our Relay battery slot.
I say this from my experience in already utilising the stock S3 battery in our Relay. In that the stock S3 battery is 'already' thicker than our stock Relay battery, such that the stock S3 battery is already a very tight fit (thickness wise.) So much so that closing the back housing door on our Relay is already as snug as I'd like.
Hence ifffff that Gold S3 battery is indeed thicker then the stock S3 battery, than you may have a hard time trying to close the battery cover on our phone with the Gold battery.
In addition to the tighhhht squeeze issue.... similarly to the previously discussed Sunsky battery above - neither can cater for NFC.
All that I can say from weeks of experience with the stock S3 batteries is that I'm able to achieve ~20-30 hours uptime with roughly 2-3hours talk time and 3-4hours screen on time.
I cannot complain thus far. I'd say, It's worth the extra pennies for that OEM Samsung S3 battery with NFC for that extra juice.

alright, we can forget this 2500mAh battery..
I was using it now for not even one week, check the attached pics how it starts behaving on charging now.
It stops charging with 94%, both via pc usb or direct charger.

Yes, that's another thing I failed to mention. I too noticed that Sunsky battery failed to charge to 100%.
I guess we can safely conclude these batteries are cheap as nutts for a reason - they are poor quality. Ridiculous how they get away with stating these bogus MaH capacities.
Go for S3 battery, you will be pleasantly surprised.
I have 4 of them, all of which are rock solid (Samsung OEM products.)

Probably you will not see the difference.
Even if capacity is higher i doubt about quality which end up with similar efficient.

I have received the battery now http://s44.photobucket.com/user/blu...0502/05020201/05020201bluestone001_a.jpg.html
Unfortunately it is too thick, 5mm while ours are 4mm.
I can not close the back cover with it, so I can not use it. .. disappointed and sad
Is the original s3 battery then 4.5mm when Nard says "a bit thicker"?
I find that a little hard to believe... how can 1mm make that big of a difference? (pun intended)
is the back cover really that flush that there's no extra room? Not even a slight amount?

Not sure if this has been asked yet? What happens when the battery dies on these? Does it become a paper weight? I would think that it will still work if plugged in.

I don't think it'll be hard to find a replacement battery for touchpad .... I'm sure the fire sell of hundreds of thousands touchpads now on people hands will atract the attention of the chinesse to come up with batteries for it.... If im wrong well, at least it was a cool toy while it lasted .
As the title says i'm looking for the biggest battery that will fit the stock door. I know most options don't include NFC and by the looks of it who knows when we will actually be able to use it. For now i've heard that the extended nexus battery may work but no relies yet. Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

The nexus extended will work. It may bulge a bit, though. I trimmed a tiny bit of the plastic off and it fits fine. Some work with no modification.

Battery
I just got the Nexus battery about three weeks ago. The cover is tight going on and needs to be maneuvered on properly, but for me, there is no bulge. It works great and you can tell it is a higher capacity battery just from the additional length of time it takes to recharge over the stock battery.
I am attached to a charger most of the day, but will be giving it a good, hard work out when on vacation next month.
Looks like i'm going to buying this then, thanks guys. For those of you that have bought it, what were the time differences between battery length? I'm currently on SKYICS rom and with heavy use and lot of things frozen i get to 10pm with about 10%. I'm hoping i'll have 25% with this new battery.
Also being that this is an NFC battery, would that functionality still work when its finally launched??

I have an OtterBox, currently replaced tho with a Case Mate. I also have the extended battery. I haven't even used the extended battery, however I will be this weekend. Anyways, to answer your question, I briefly popped the battery in right after I bought it. As others said, there may be a slight bulge, however i'm fairly certain a case would work just fine with it.

There's really only way to find out.
A lot of times you can get a exteneded battery that is a little bigger than stock that is the same size. The One X battery might fit, it's only 150mAh bigger.
I would guess it doesn't fit/work.
Why would HTC bother using 2 different batteries if they could use 1. Having to source more different parts is never a Good Thing in manufacturing.

Why? The same reason they left out NFC in the One S, Also the One X has a bigger screen so it needs a little more juice to get the same battery life.
I know this thread is a few days old now, but thought I might have a little insight. Back when the Evo and Incredible came out (very similar relationship to One X / One S) the Evo standard battery WAS the Incredible extended battery. Same part number and everything, and they were exactly the same physical size! So I'm not promising the One X battery will work, but there's definitely a good shot.
The current 1650mAh battery looks pretty big, so that 1800mAh may actually fit. The work needed to open the case seems to much to replace a battery.

honestly, for just a 1800 mAh it's not even worth the disassemble, I'd do it for the one x+ battery though
i would say it's not possible. the connector for the One X is on the left side the One S is right. altough the battery seems a bit bigger (what I've seen in videos)
you are right about the connector

the battery in the pictures on the site (see OP) does not look like it has any notches or cutouts indicating direction of installation (it looks like a square more or less) and could probably be installed upside down, allowing for the fact that the connector of the X and S are on different sides, but you would have to twist the wires over so that the connection could be made, and I am not sure that they have that much give...
honestly, getting a portable charger isn't that bad.. they hold at least one charge and are pretty small in size.
even if ONE S has a bigger battery, it certainly wont hold more then 2000mAh, and probably cause the same as a 3000-4000mAh portable charger.
bought a 1800mah from eBay.took me 15mins to install it and its working no problem. Just have to flip the battery around so the side with the logo and writing is facing the inside. All the wires match up exactly.

yes thanks, you can get the app to log this info with the screen off so you can see how much current the charger is pushing. Go into settings and check the Log Option and the app will save it to file. Turn off the screen and let the phone charge for 15mins and check the log file.
Anybody knows what its normal battery current for any Qi Wireless?? I looked at the Nokia and it says Charger input current: 300 mA
Charger output current: 750 mA ... what is the input current and the output current if somebody knows???
there's no standard output for Qi chargers, the better ones will output around 8-1000mah. Around 700mah is enough to charge the phone slowly with the screen on. The stock usb charger you get with the N4 is rated for 1200mah but averages around 900mah.

This is great that there are Chinese knock offs for this industry. Hopefully, that means there is enough market in this area for the phone manufacturers to further integrate in their future releases, significantly driving down costs. While this is a nice to have, I cant's justify the value of a wireless charger for my lifestyle where I use three chargers. While I may not the "typical" user, it doesn't make sense to spend upwards of $136 on chargers, especially since this is a highly developing technology that's likely to change by the time I would need another phone in 12-24 months. I'd be interesting to see how many people one vs multiple chargers with their smartphones. I'll be interesting to see what happens to the future of wireless charging. Some things that currently exist already look like significant improvements: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/10/wireless_charging/
but I digress...
How is the quality? Would you say it feels more solid or plastic?

Hard to change a standard once its a standard.
Even car manufacturers are on board with qi.

The s3 doesn't come with wireless charging so it wouldn't work unless you buy the back cover specifically for this

Yes I saw that... i guess goes connected on the gold pins that the Galaxy S3 has on the back to be able to received the current...So i guess it will work only if you have that receiver connected in the gold pins...
Hey guys. The other day I dismantled my nexus to replace my cracked housing and of course that involved removing the battery. I removed my battery by prying at it gently with a screw driver (mistake, I know) and it came out pretty easily. I flipped it over and saw I created a small scratch on the bottom of the battery. As far as I can see it isn't punctured but now my phone smells like spearmint. Is my battery screwed? It still works and everything I am just a little worried that I keep getting wafts of battery mint.

You have mercury poisoning, see a doctor ASAP.
Edit: I made the same mistake as well with a tablet, the moment I felt that smell which was rather sweet, the battery was dead.

In my experience, yes, your battery is now doomed to failure... I believe that the smell you can smell is the electrolyte, which is now slowly but surely escaping as your battery is no longer sealed

Damn. I was hoping that wouldn't be the answer. I guess I'll wait and see I'd my batt is dying faster than normal. Do you know if it is dangerous?

I don't know for sure that it is dangerous, but I'd go on the side of caution and say yes. Depending on how bad it was bent / punctured, I've seen them go on to swell up from there on in as well. I'd get a new one and pop it in

Yea. Thanks for the insight. I'll go ahead and order one off of eBay. I took a look on there a minute ago and luckily there are ones available to be shipped from ft Lauderdale. I'm in Orlando so it works out. I'll update when I get the new one to let you guys know if I get better performance with the new battery and what the battery in question looks like.
