Biggest Battery while still using stock door??

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??

Yes it will work. Mine lasts about another 1.5- 2 hours of screen on time

Do you think this would work with an Otterbox Commuter Case?

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.

Wow, why did I never think of this
Thanks for the info.

I'm using the Nexus battery with the commuter case and it fits just fine

Is the increase in battery life enough to justify the cost of the battery?

Do you really think this company has found a way to fit more mah in a battery than Samsung who earns billions of dollars in profit. I got the andida battery and don't notice much of a difference. I think any difference you may see is just the placebo affect.

Yeah, it doesn't get any better even if those junk ass generic batteries say they have more mah. They really don't, and they don't last as long as OEM.
OEM is better, don't waste your time and money on ****ty generic batteries.

[Q] 2500mAh slim battery

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

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.
as an information for others i agree to move this thread to accessories, as i stop experimenting with this battery now.

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.)

Another trick you can do with batteries that are too thick, get a bulky phone case and leave the battery door off altogether.

Probably you will not see the difference.
Even if capacity is higher i doubt about quality which end up with similar efficient.
I believe Samsung hold high quality of their products.
And it is not NFC...

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?

Will be the same size the S5 battery for use it in our S4??
I've read that the new battery was made of a new material that would work to much better than just 200mah more.

If you see the S5 with its back cover off the battery is more rectangular in shape. No where near the dimensions of the S4. In short, it won't work.

I believe it's used to power the phone.
But on a more serious note it's probably the same battery as the Galaxy Round, they're both 2800mah and that general shape. The Galaxy Round also looks quite a bit like the s5 when you remove the back cover:

Zero Lemon 8500mAh Extended Battery for Note 5 works on Note 4 - Total 11,720mAh!

Hey guys. I've tested this on my Note 4 and it fits! The volume rocker, power button and S-Pen slots all line up. The case does protrude a bit on the sides, however it is very minor and I am now using this as my daily driver.
This does Rapid Charge passthrough for the phone and has a full spare USB-A slot to charge a second device (not rapid charge though). The battery itself does not rapid charge in nor out but passes the rapid charge through to the phone while charging the battery.
Pictures to come.

You will loose sound cause the speaker is covered though.

Interested to see if this works. I find it frustrating to use the 10,000 mah extended battery from zerolemon as it never reads correctly even with the beast mode kernal that has the zero lemon fix. Post those pictures please.

i doubt about fitting part cause of note 5 camera n flash position compare to note 4 .

Good point
Are you using correct zero lemon kernal with your note 4 not hundred percent accurate but very good

can we see some pictures of your note 4 with the note 5 battery? i will get one asap if this really fits well.

There's no way that this case would fit a Note 4 and be a good idea. 1. The battery case completely covers the speaker and no sound is present. 2. The camera flash and camera itself are not located in the exact areas, whereas you'll be interfering with the lens etc. 3. The charging I this thing socks cause the connection is done thru a modified male micro USB connector which takes literally twice as long to charge and the correct battery. 4. Unless you have insurance on your phone, why risk 2 millimeters of loose play on the side of the TPU case? In my opinion, the most obvious choice, would be to use the correct battery with the correct phone. That's just my opinion, lol

Battery swap questions

I was thinking about swapping out some parts on my note 5 including back, camera lens housing, and potentially battery. The battery of the s7 edge appears to be almost the same size (based on an aftermarket battery size) so I'm wondering if you could swap that into the note 5. Any thoughts?
