My choice of new cell phones was a Galaxy S6 or an iPhone 6 and I went with the S6. The only disadvantage of my new phone is that it isn't water-resistant like the Galaxy S5, which has saved my friend once by surviving washer. Also I find it charges the battery very fast, is this matter? And I would like to know if any extended battery that will work with Galaxy S6. Thank you.

Any micro usb and power source from the last 5 years (safely saying 5, can be probably 10 yrs) is okay to use to charge the S6. the output amps is what will decide how fast your phone will charge and you can see that information on the charger/battery itself

Ideal you want a power bank that outputs 5 volts @ 2.1 amps. Some of the newer power banks have power-managing options that prevent over-charging and over-amp charging, though Smarphones at this time are already designed so that over-amping isn't a big deal.

The S6 has quick charging, so it charges very fast, and is completely normal. The battery is non-removable so you can't replace it with an extended battery like other Samsung phones, however you can get a power bank or a case with a built-in battery.

so heres the problem i have 5, yes 5 batteries the one in the phone an original samsung extra, the samsung battery from my gti-9505 and 3 different 3rd party batteries two with the "samsung chip" in them. none of these but the battery that came with the phone work, i have spoken with friends and tested there phones and the only phone in the S4 line with this issue is the gt-i9507. you don't even need the chipped batteries with the s4 gt-i9505. (not sure why). now i'm quite upset after paying the full fee for a replacement battery on the samsung website only to find that the phone has made its mind up that it will not accept 3rd party batteries or even for that matter samsung batteries provided by the official samsung store see. they have been extremely unhelpful. with the battery sent my s4 will not even power on, where as my friends s4 gt-i9505 boots first time every time. if anyone knows a way to force the phone to use the battery it would be very helpful
Tried all of that and charged each on in the phone for 48 hours + with 2 different wall chargers as well as a usb charger
Flashed a rom and boom fixed

It's definitely interesting. I've never used any of these battery packs before. I'll have to see how long the standby time is on it once it's fully charged. I could keep it in my pack for emergency charging.
Note Edge with the power of the Droid Turbo. Interesting but I like to keep my phone simple and naked. I might want it for extended trips or something though.
3800mAh probably translates into taking phone that is 10% back up to 80-90%. While nice, It is probably more efficient to carry a spare battery.
I'm with Stoodo...
I'd also like to know who makes the battery.

I want to extend some of battery power, always getting very low battery when evening.
I may stick with my G3 because of the bad news that S6 lost an option to replace battery, though the S6 does look great in my eyes. As for a non-removable phone, is there any ways to double the battery life since we cannot simply swap extended batteries? Will this kind of accessory do any good?
----> http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpj-recha...rums&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=battery case
pretty simple.. buy a phone with removable battery.. S4, S5, Note4, etc. or stick with your S3 is also another option..

Of course wit will work.
Why do you even need something like that? I understand if you go on somewhere far away with no electricity, but why do you need it for daily usage?
Also it is not just about the hardware, if you optimize the software, you will get great battery usage time...
Just root your phone, uninstall all apps that you don't need and install greenify to make the apps sleep that you don't need running in background all the time. I use my HTC M7 like that and get 2 days on battery even though i stream music over bluetooth and use WhatsApp and 9gag very often...

Here is another option;
The Mophie Juice Pack uses a proprietary Impact Isolation System that works like an internal suspension to protect your handset, while at the same time it is making sure that your phone is powered up to handle all of the mobile tasks you need to get done. Mophie is part of Samsung's SMAPP program, consisting of the manufacturer's strategic partners. This means that only Mophie will be offering a battery charging case for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge when both phones launch on April 10th. The case for either device will be priced at $99.95 and will be available starting on that date from Mophie's online store, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Best Buy and other retailers.
I'm going to go out on a limb once my GS6 come
You can get a case with a built in extended battery, carry an external battery that you plug in once in a while, or get an external battery/wireless charger combo like one of these:

Each option has pros/cons, but hopefully one will work for you...
Hi,
We all know the BS that goes on - on Amazon. I just picked up a Note 4 and it seems like the battery is pretty weak.
I need to be sure I am asking the right questions. (There is another battery thread here, but it is 2 years old)
There is so much I need to learn about this android after moving from Msft, (which did EVERYTHING I needed except offer certain apps I need for work) I am pretty hard up for cash, and need to pick a battery from Amazon. Noticed there are many brands and some have some serious shortcomings.
Polar Bear
Ohmnimax
Anker
EnergyPal
Zerolemon
TechOrbits
Yishida
Juboty
Aexpower
and more
Some also ask about NFC... (I know my Lumia had an NFC reader) but what is that about?
What else do I need to know about choosing a good replacement? I do have a wireless charger available and 2A plus chargers...
Guess I am asking, what are the correct questions to ask?
What about extended battery packs? are they worth it? There is one:
iPosible Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Extended Battery [7200mAh] on Amazon... and more
also seen Polarbear and Juboty
Oh, and can those magnetic mounts screw up a battery?
Sorry for the length of the post
Kevin
AT&T Note 4
anker one is very good.
Go for Anker
I'm going to join the chorus and recommend Anker. They sell excellent batteries and the NFC works great.
+1 for anker battery works great for me.
make sure it has NFC, chance of getting a fake battery with NFC is low

NFC (near field comm.) the board which allows you to touch phones backs to send files, it can be seen on battery, its protruding a little from battery its not completely flat
I'm using Yishida...got the 2 pack with charger from Amazon. It doesn't have NFC...I also use a magnetic Phone Holder. No problems.
Go for Anker. I've used their batteries since my Note2 days and never had a problem with them.
Personally, I would rather get the original Samsung battery for the Note 4. That way you would avoid any serious issues with your device.
The problem is that there are so many fake 'original samsung'around! Go for Anker, it's not fake

I bought this Frontech battery from amazon last november and is working great and is cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017Y12D48/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm on my second ZeroLemon battery, well technically 3rd because my first one, I sent back and got a replacement. I feel my replacement wasn't holding a charge. My Second (or Third) Zerolemon battery has a different casing and is more slim than the original brick. Additionally, my note 4 is Unlocked and Rooted. I'm using MoDestRom v9. The author does not have a ZeroLemon battery, but he has managed to make a second kernel for the ZeroLemon battery. Don't ask me how he was able to get it right, but he did. My battery does seem to discharge and charge correctly, now, and I don't even have that dreaded 1% issue where normally the phone stays charged for 10-14 hours at 1% (in otherwords, the phone doesn't actually recognize what percentage of the battery is actually left). If you don't mind extra bulkiness, I'd give it a shot. I bought my first Zerolemon Feb 8, 2015, they give you 6 months warranty, so sometime in that time frame is when I got the replacement, and I got my second Zerolemon battery from Amazon on May 17, 2017.
Here's the first one I got (llooks ike a brick) - https://www.amazon.com/Zerolemon-10000mah-Extended-ZeroShock-Versions/dp/B00Q7C6FTA
Here's the second one I got (less bulky) - https://www.amazon.com/Extended-Zerolemon-10000mAh-Protection-Versions/dp/B014F5Z6LS
I recommend the second one. In terms of quality, I don't know if there's a difference, but the second one is easier to hold onto. I probably could use the old case with the new battery, as well...I'm not sure. I should note that when I initially got the battery, the buttons on the case were too sensitive, and when they sent a replacement, it was much less responsive, but perfect. Before, I would inadvertently hang up on people because the buttons were so sensitive and the weight of the phone was so great. With the second battery purchased, I don't have that issue.

All of the Samsung batteries I have seen for the Note 4 (mine for two Note 4's, my mom and sister) will get to 15%, then immediately go to like 3% then cut off. I switched to Anker and it works perfect.

That is strange. If you have updated the OS on both Note 4s to Marshmallow. There is a known issue that they won't charge properly in the device due to the Marshmallow update. However if you use the official external battery charger for Note 4 batteries they will charge correctly. As I have recently discovered.

My mom and sister were on marshmallow. I was on marshmallow with my old note 4. This note 4 did it on kit kat and lollipop. I downgraded it from marshamllow to kit kat, then updated to lollipop.

If you were running on either Lolipop or KitKat then you shouldn't experience any battery issues with the Note 4. Unless you were sold faulty batteries, which does happen from time to time.
Hey guys, so I bought a used s7 edge battery which has like 2950mah left and I installed it on my phone. I'm seeing great results so far but I want to buy a new one, original one that will give me even better results.
Can someone post a link where to buy it?
Thanks in advance
Hi
I've answered this many times...
Go here to buy a genuine S7 Edge Battery
http://www.samsungparts.com/mobile/Products.aspx?part=PID-GH43-04575A.aspx&model=SMG935F
They work with Samsung USA to provide original parts. I've contacted Samsung USA customer service myself.
The price is high but that is to get a original and not a copy.
They only ship to the US so if you live outside the US you need to use Shipito
Wait wait wait ... You replaced the S6 battery with an S7 edge battery?

How much is the back cover sticking out? A picture of it, perhaps?
This sounds like an awesome mod - in a few months, I may do this myself, as the battery on this 2 year old device is going south by the day.
does wireless charging work with this battery mod?

On the side where the battery is, it's just a bit thicker but with a cover it's not problem at all.
But battery life is great great.
Search on YouTube "swap s6 battery with s7 edge". There is a guy who made a video for it.

Personally I removed nfc and wireless charging thing to give it more space since I never use them
you can buy on your local samsung A.S.P.
if you are measure your battery with an app. Probably it wont measure right value. Becouse apps are using other apps consumption metric which is measured from android system. But not measuring systems itself in most case.
FYI.
i am using s7 edge battery on my s6 and i bought it from original samsng service , so its original. but measurement apps says that its 3050 - 3250. so i dont trust this app. you can only measure correct values with hardwares for this tasks.
