So guys, celebrating or Forum acquisition.
Let's talk about one of the biggest issues that a huge part of S3 users, that acquired their phones last year had. The battery drop.
It weirdly started for some after the Lollipop upgrade, with a 15 or 20 sudden drop, 1, 2, 3 seconds and you phone turns off!
Firstly we all thought this was a software issue, but after countless work and updates on this part and no fix for it, we started to think that problem was not a software one but with batteries itself.
The cause will remain a mystery. A defective lot? A issue that was ignited by LP? And proof of batteries defect, the drops gets worse with time. 20, 30, 40% drop to zero, batteries getting inflacted watch out if you have this issue!
Fortunately this seems to be fixed in newest batteries, that are sold on main stores, if you're ordering a original one get from main stores, Aliexpress stores are just selling fake ones by my investigations.
Luckily we found at Aliexpress this Kompson battery. At first sight it looked like a big scam, promising capacity for a not so popular phone? Definitely could look like a scam. But then a courageous buyer bought one and not only got great capacity or duration, as got the drop issue aliviated.
My case, after a whole year with two original batteries. They started to suffer huge drops from 50% in the last 6 months, with max of 2:30 SOT. One got inflated, they badly lasted me more than a . Yesterday finally got my Kompson and my issue meet a end. No drop, maybe at 5%, 3% I got a drop to 1% then it last some time more and turns off.
This topic is to inform people with the Drop issue, as well as letting your experience with new, old stock batteries or Kompson. In order to inform and help people with this freaking issue.
I only got one battery with my device, so the moment I started to notice these strange drops, plus none of the "rescue" solutions such as battery calibration (rooted), didn't do anything, I search AliXpress, and bought one KonPson with any risk...
Since March 29th that I am using it, the phone works also with 0%!!! No crazy drops, no suddden 50%...
The load discharges slow an normaly.
TapaTalk and JiaYu S3 with Android MM!
Battery calibration isnt quick process to get rid off drops. What You need to do is stay with ONE rom longer! Do a calibration at 100%. Restart the phone. Than three-five times fully discharge battery (with normal use) and charge it to 100% its times. It take week or so. I have konspon and orginal battery and I dont have any drops - no matter which battery I use. I've made flashable batterystats file (from my own file after a week or so) and when I need to test new rom and return to mine testes I do flash batterystats.bin file via recovery and thats all.

I had two defective batteries, no way a calibration would save them from 50% drops.

Just swapped in my Kompson that I purchased a few months ago as a spare as I was experiencing a 10% drop. From my experience it was definitely battery degradation as it started fine and eventually worked up to 5% then 10% while the Kompson goes all the way down to 0%. It will be interesting to see if the Kompson does the same in such a short period as then it might be the device causing degredation rather than poorly made batteries.
@genesisalgor One question, do you recommend buy this battery?

Mine is rock solid until now, if it's inflated you should replace it immediately, there's a guy that battery got in fire and ruined the phone too.

One more question. Is it the store you bought from (BouBoo International trade co., LTD)?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/kon...ttery-free-shipping-Tracking/32360303710.html
I have 5 batteries and a pair of external chargers. One of the 5 is a Kompson. The differences are not abysmal but their performance is better.
Hi,
Where could I buy legit battery (stock or konpson) for Jiayu S3 Advance?
I have this same exact battery, I was the first one to get my hands on in our group and its so good that my facebook friends started to try buying it from me. So I sold it to one of them after I sold my jiayu s3 to get an iPhone.
Now that I just went back from an iPhone 2 months ago into another Jiayu S3 unit, I have to buy another Konpson battery for the same reason why my friends wants my Konpson so bad. LOL
Bye bye batt drops, hello my dear konpson
If you're gonna get one, just ignore what the capacity says. As long as it says Konpson for jiayu s3, you're all good. Those capacity are just labels anyway, in reality its the same capacity to the stock battery, just more efficient as to why it works and performs better than the stock battery despite having the same capacity.
kompson batteries no longer exist. now they are ones called "losoncoer" i think is the same factory (very similar sticker)
soon it will arrive and i will try it

What about the LOSONCOER one? Any hint? A lot of russian language commentaries with problems with the shop
hello guys.
i am satisfied with mi 5 battery life while using wifi.
but when i use simcard net ( 3g or lte ) , the battery drains so much fast.
less than 3-4 hours of sot.
so i want to know is there any way or external power case for increasing the battery life ?
ty.
I second this. I haven't been able to find any "battery case" for this phone. Any help would be awesome.
Just curious to what ROMs and apps are you guys using regularly?
at getting regularly about 6 hours SOT in like 2 days of usage....
using Mi-Globe Rom stable 8.1.6.0
better flash a good rom and optimize it...
I have the same small battery life trouble..
I tested w/ many miui and custom roms and optimized as much as possible but it did not help.
My case is quite weird that even power on or off, with sim inserted or not and Flight mod on or off does not differ the usage grafic drop down line and time..
Total battery life is 5-7% per hour.
Despite replacing battery w/ a new one the result remains the same..
I would recommend do a complete wipe even for internal storage and flashing global stable or nauget beta from miflash tool......Then give it a few days ...Should work
What rom you use? im used MultiROM 8.1.6.0 only charge 1 time for 2 day use.
Everyday my mi5 just for call 2 hours, spotify 2 hours, checking email and other stuff like facebook, xda, miui forum 2 hours.
Why don't consider getting those power bank case? Those that slip behind the phone and a charger tip goes to the charging port.

How big does the phone get with it?
Also is it compatible with QC 3?
I'm considering buying it..
My Nexus 5 is more than 3 years old, and I think its planned obsolescence is kicking in.
Its battery life right now is about 3 hours, less with intensive use. I've tried buying a new battery, and even tried it with a fresh stock rom, no apps installed, with similar results. It makes sense to it draining so much battery regardless of the conditions? (I won't post GSam screenshots, since the same happens in these different scenarios).
I mean, I LOVE my phone, I can't think of a worthy replacement for good old Nexus 5... but I can't go on with 3 hours of battery life. Has this happened to any of you? What should I do?

I'm sorry to hear this! I just went through HELL and back to get my nexus 5 back working.. (replaced LCD/Digitizer, USB flex cable, Battery, installed chroot and adb/fastboot on chromebook to flash TWRP and root)
It's an AWESOME device. I would suggest getting a decent battery replacement and look at battery management apps or maybe a battery case? If my phone could be used on Verizon, I'd swap out my Galaxy S6 for the Nexus 5 in a heartbeat..
Best of luck!

I've in fact searched for battery cases, and good battery replacements, but being it a discontinued device is kinda hard (almost impossible). I've bought a battery claiming to be "official", still very bad results. For the case, the only battery case I've found available is this one, and it's a bad chinese battery: https://es.aliexpress.com/store/pro...r-Case-Free-Shipping/1267012_32683454756.html
Besides, I'm from Spain, so any usa store probably won't send to my country.
Any recommendations with this are appreciated!

Some of us have bought a battery replacement in RepuestosFuentes. Here's the direct link. They run out of stock from time to time.
As I said, mine is from there and it's working fine. Also, it has a recent manufacture date printed on it.
I still love my Nexus 5. Recently I paid around $13 to get the battery replaced at LG Service Center here in Bangalore, India and now the phone is back and running. Installed AOSP 7.1.1 and it's running as smooth as 6.0.

Actually, I'm not so sure a new battery would make things a lot better. Thing is, any battery attached to my phone just drains extremely fast (maybe some hardware issue?), so... replacing a new internal battery can make things better, but not much, since it's a internal battery.
The ideal solution would be a good battery case, so I can add that to its normal battery. But, as I said, I didn't find one that seems trustworthy for sale right now.
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.

In my country I ordered orginal piece for 25€, how was in your country in Samsung ASP? What about showing mAh in apps... I using S8 port ROM on my S6 and for example CPU-Z says there is 3000mAh battery like in S8 but I don't installed S7e battery yet xD So answer is right here.
you can order it directly from korean ebay, it will be around 30 $

Hello,
I replaced my old battery because it lost its 30% capacity. Then I bought 2 times original Samsung Battery and 1 time a super expensive battery from Germany.
Everytime when I test it, I use only 2500-2600 mAh capacity of my Galaxy S7.
I did calibrate my battery, cleaned the gauge multiple times, reset it. It didn't help.
I just notice that my phone charge only until 4.825 V. Do you have any idee?
Maybe a problem with the apps not the battery itself?
Those apps are not 100% accurate anyway, they cannot be as you never run your battery to 0% while the app is running
I used 3 methodes to measure it. I dont think so. How is your phones fg_full_voltage value?

What is more likely? That the apps methods are not accurate, or 3 new batteries all have 2500-2600 mAh capacity?
The apps method are known to be inaccurate so you can already forget about those results
Where is the location of that file?
There is a code you can enter to reset battery stats too
dial: *#0228#
Press Quick Start
Connect Charger so phone is charging
Turn Off the phone and leave off until battery is charged to 100%
Power on phone
Battery stats should be recalibrated
I did that already, hmm the location is /sys/class/power_supply/battery/fg_full_voltage and in the same folder 2*fg_fullcapnom shows the capacity of your battery.
You can be right with the inaccurate apps, but the apps showed me the real value with a lenovo zuk z2 and galaxz s8.That's why I'm worried

eBay only sell fakes fakes and more fakes, Amazon probably too, unless you bought an original Samsung battery from Samsung there is a high chance that all those batteries are not as high capacity as advertised
My battery life is terrible with my S7 flat, so I took my phone to the Samsung Official workshop, I thought that a brand new battery will fix the problem, the technician made some tests and he tell me that although my battery was fine with 80% wearing but my battery drain issue is caused by a faulty board.

I'm pretty sure you bought the fakes ones. Try to buy your 4th battery from a Samsung service center!
My Third is not a fake one, it has 24m Warranty and is Made in German. The problem is with phone and OS. Nougat won't let you use your all battery capacity. If you dont believe me, use accubattery you will get max. 90%.
