Andida Battery it kills my beloved SGS2. Guys Please be careful and do not buy this battery
I was happy today when, I received Andida Battery. I took out my back cover and I installed the battery. I tried to turn on my phone but it did not start. So I taught that the battery must be empty, so I plugged my charger to charge the battery. But it failed to charge. I installed original Samsung battery back, but the phone did not start at all. I was so facking annoyed. I went to Samsung Service Center, I told them my phone suddenly stopped working, without mentioning the cause of damage. They checked the phone, it took them two hours, then the technician called me and he said that the battery sensor indicator chip is damaged in the main-board and need to be replaced. He said they will order the part from Korea and it will take around 2 weeks to arrival at least. I was happy that they will fix my phone under warranty.
Edited :- Real photo of the Andida Battery 2000mAh uploaded. I was so upset and not in mood to take a photo of Andida Battery I own. I google it fast and attached it on my post that why in the photo it stated 1450 mA and For Oppo a100.

OH Man. Seem like this battery does coz hardware damage in most SGS2 when installed. I think battery sensor indicator chip is actually the chip which indicate battery status level. thats why your battery stats get screwed up.
Why do you say is an 2000mA battery when on the blister clearly states that's a 1450 mA one (even less than the original). ?
I don't get it. I only see "For Oppo a100" from the pic. Is there state anywhere its for I9100?
And the Chinese in one of the label stated the battery is insured, maybe U can claim them some money.

I really hope it doesn't spoil my phone though... I rooted it so chances are there's no warranty if I bring to the CSC. I don't really use the Andida battery often anyway. It simply serves as a backup.

Thanks for clearing that up, and i am very sorry about your phone.
Hi,
I had the same issue with mine but i hotswapped that batteries around. i.e. andida to samsung back to andida and it started to work again.
at the moment i have the andida one in my phone but try swapping it around and see if there is any issues.
Q) would your phone still be covered if my phone was rooted with custom rom?
PS: and i bought two of these one for me and one for my nephew.

thx for reminding, but i prefer to buy a external charger rather than an extra battery

Lol. True that, now I'm worried about the extended Spider-Foot batteries I ordered. I have more trustworthy Momax extended batts on order too, so now I'm scared to test the Spider-Foots at all lol.

hi there the spider-foot battery is safe. been using it as my main battery and no problems or whatsoever since 3 weeks ago
Have been using this battery for awhile. No major issue with it. Just that while stating 2000mAH, it's not really performing better than the stock battery. Worse performing actually.
Avg after a day's use ( light usage ), the Andida's remained only abt 50%-60% juice, while the stock can still retain abt 80%.
Another quirk for Andida, after charging to 100%, when I pulled out from the charger, it'll occasionally drop to 97% immediately.
Well, can't expect it to be better since it's so cheap anyway. At least it didn't blew up on me lolz. Nevertheless, had been using the stock battery since it performed better. This Andida is just a backup for me now.
Btw, TS, just curious, did u pull out the thin film that covers the metallic contact points? I read that some pple forgot to remove this film, and they thought the battery is a lemon =p.
the only one i can rely on is the original samsung extended battery (2000mAh). It's a little bit fatter (1mm more) but great!

Well if it is 90% larger then I expect it to last 90% longer or so.
I think extended batteries are the ugliest add-on to a phone.
Lol... i´ve seen a back-up battery (1100 mAh) from this manufacturer (got the same label) on ebay a couple of days before. Selling price was 1,99 Euro (!!!) without shipping.
And now tell me, what quality you can expect for a price like this? Maybe you should order a fire extinguisher too .

How close is this picture?
The new CDMA Touch will have a more powerful battery to handle the 400 mhz and 3G (1150 mAh vs 1100 mAh). If they are the same size then I will buy one of those batteries and stick it in my current Touch.
Yep. Seems to be the better idea, if 50 mAh makes the difference.
Rather buy a spare than have that hump on the back. So far I've been pleasantly surprised with the life I've been getting out of the Touch.
Or you can try this:
http://www.proporta.fr/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=2725&t_mode=des
Really cool, and you can charge your device and other like iPhone, etc. it's bigger than a spare battery, but also lasts longer, you can take this and your phone and it'll hold a week maybe

you guys are wonderful, I am going nuts here,
*biggest_loool_ever*
well, i give then kudos for trying at least but that sharp step on the back of my touch to accommodate the bigger battery is not exactly what i would want .
If i am working long periods on my touch i just plug it into the mains and use it while its charging for now until at better battery (with same size) come out on the market, its just a matter of time.
so today i was searching for a extended battery and came across this.

It's definitely a 3500mah battery. Just an typo I'd assume.
The back is thicker than the phone.. no thanks I will just continue to carry a spare battery.
These kind of batteries suck. If you need a decent backup just get an external battery. You can get an 8900mAh external that will last you more then you need. I always use mine when going on hiking or longer trips.. Generally where you would have a backpack of some smaller stuff. You do not need something like this for a days worth of common use.
I had one of those for my hero, get a big boost in life,. I went a three days without charge
What the hell is the point? I am getting nearly 20 hours of life out of my stock battery with two days of business use, and wifi. That looks awful as well.

You must not really use your phone like I do. Started at 8 today and its now 11 and im down to half battery even with overclock widget clocking it to 200Mhz when the screen is off
I bought one of these when the g1 came out and it gave me about 2 days off the charger. But im not sure how well this is gonna work with this phone. I really want to know how it worked with people who bought the smaller battery
If you dropped down that much you need to check your syncs and what using data. Is your phone set to cdma? I'm at 87% with 5 hours off the charger. Might as well solve whatever is eating up your battery first.

I take my phone off the charger around 6 every mourning and I don't lose the first bar till 1030 or so.that's with lots of text, internet, and some phone calls. Not a complaint here
I remember everyone was talking all this hype about the extended Seidio battery for the Mogul... I bought one... and was completely unsatisfied, I sent it back in, the mfg, acted surprised and sent me another one.. .Honestly even the replacement was exactly the same.. The Stock OEM battery lasted longer, and was more reliable.
Unless something has changed with Seidio since then, (which I highly doubt) I won't be "upgrading" my battery -
- I'm with the other member, I'de be more inclined to get some kinda external battery, or something. Too bad the USB connection changed on this new EVO 4g.. cuz my IOGEAR AA battery emergency charger is SICK! hmm.,.. actually i'm going to look for a USB converter, so that I can keep this iogear around.
Woah! I've been waiting to finally see the design on this as I've owned Seidio extended batteries in the past on other devices. The design on that back is a definite no go for me. It's horrific! I just can't F'up a rather well designed device with that hunchback. No way!
will people start complaining when they want 3 days of batter life? And do you guys not go home at night or day or evening (depending on when you work) to charge your phones? my phone with heavy use last about 8to9 hours.. and light to no use 20hrs.. i charge it every night..
i have the same battery used for the hero from seidio, so i hope they give the option to purchase just the back battery door. If not, i will have to wait for nakedcellphone from ebay to get his Mugen extended battery line (which have very decent door designs) and he sells em separate.
No need to drop 60 again, right?
had one for my htc diamond.. ive been checking the site everyday for that.. the back is bulky because of the battery size but like whoever stated.. you can go nearly three days without a charge depending on use.. i love those batteries
Wow. I guess it works for some. Personally I keep a micro usb cable at my desk at work. That + car charger and I'm never far from a source to charge my phone
I'm having a hell of a time finding spare batteries in stock - where did you buy yours?
Thanks!

Yeh this seems way to good to be true. 2x 1800mAh batteries and the all important battery charger as its hard to charge both batteries with one phone.
But the pricer is really putting me off. Guessing no one has tried them yet????
Really tempted. Are these non-official batteries safe to use with the SGS2?
Hmm it looks too good to be true. I am tempted to get it though.
I just bought something like that. 2 batteries and a charger. I bought it for the charger, as I expect the batteries will be 1.000mAh max. Will buy a genuine battery when they appear someplace trustworthy.
I bought mine on....
Well from www.spider-foot.com they're very cheap and you get 3x screenprotectors for free. I think they are 1650mAh btw!
I just spent $800 on a phone, I'm not going to put some $10 Chinese battery in it so it can explode or melt - I'll just keep looking/waiting...
Search for EB-F1A2GBU and you'll find some genuine batts for 22 to 30E
That said i'd prefer having a batt + batt charger like the chinese sell, cause swapping batt to charge isnt fun, going to test it. For 8Eur, at least, the charger should be fine.. i hope

I understand your concerns but has anyone experienced exploding or melting, I say this because I have used similar batteries on my Samsung Omnia and the i9000. Never experienced any problems and used them for over a year or so.

I purchased the same 1800mAh battery from ebay and exploding or melting is very unlikely as even the cheap aftermarket batteries manufactured in China have an integrated chip preventing overcharging or exploding.
On the other hand the 1800mAh are nothing but an exaggeration because the real capacity is around 1000mAH meaning its just an emergency solution if you should run out of your main battery while on the go rather than a real replacement for the original battery.

Hello
Anyone knows it "Mugen Battery's for Samsung" have battery's fits our SGW?
I was looking for something like 1800/2000 or more, as long as i don't need to change the battery cover.
"mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung"
They have 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000 for Samsung but i don't know if they work in our phone.
If you have other suggestions please share ;D

Fits our phone and is 1900mah

Hey Vyker,
i read somewhere in the forum that "ultra cheap" chinese battery ar actually fakes..
They have a sticker for 1900mah and they are really 1000mah...
How long have you being using that? can you put a pic with your best graph of the battery usage?
Ok guys,
So then this supposed 1900mah battery. I've noticed a clear difference in battery life since I put it in.
Here are some battery screen shots

And the chart...
These were taken at 45%.
I've used the phone as much as I would on any normal day.
Charging is fine and standard not faster not slower.
I don't expect to be lied to about what is actually in the battery when buying, so I have to take it for granted that the battery is in fact 1900mah. Though I do understand that there is a chance the battery is a fake. At £8 it's a no brainer.
All in all, I recommend the battery.

I can imagine this might be the case if you spend most of your time in a location that has a good wireless signal but a crappy mobile data signal => with wireless enabled, the 3G radio won't keep wasting battery life by trying to connect.
Similarly, if you leave wireless enabled when you're not connected to a wireless network, it will drain your battery because it keeps scanning all the time in the background.
That's my understanding anyway...
I can relate to the concept, it's my understanding too
Any how with 36% still left to go this is what the chart looks like now...
Staggering difference between the two days....
Id still recommend this battery however.... I get more than I did on stock

My battery (Stock) is doing around 2 days.
I don't play that much, an i have almost everything off during the night (sleep time).
i think that wireless is a big battery killer if you have it enable but not connected.
If its connected (not searching) doesn't make a big difference on the overall consumption.
On the first night of my battery cycle,
i have around 15 to 16 hours and around 62% left
on the next morning i have 3% to 5% less so i do a full day (24h) on around 55%
i end up on 15% to 10% on the following night (1 day, 16 hours) and around 5% to 7% on the next morning (2 days)
I think it all depends on what you do and what you have on... overall i think the stock is ok, but i would prefer having one a bit bigger (1800 +)
Anyway ty for the input m8
Oxyfly, sounds like you may not use the phone as much as others.
The battery I bought is not the one in the topic title - to confuse matters
It is a 1900mah battery.

Hello
Anyone knows it "Mugen Battery's for Samsung" have battery's fits our SGW?
I was looking for something like 1800/2000 or more, as long as i don't need to change the battery cover.
"mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung"
They have 1600, 1700, 1800, 2000 for Samsung but i don't know if they work in our phone.
If you have other suggestions please share ;D

Just to inform you guys...
I contacted with Mugen Power Batteries and asked if 1700mAh Extended Battery for Exhibit II 4G battery was compatible Galaxy W, they replied me and confirmed its compatiblity with our phones...

I bought 2 anker batteries (1500) + charger for 18$ ! (and not 45$...)
Does it really worth so much money just for the extra 13%??
Of course cheaper alternatives are available but i'm not sure if Anker batteries (or "made in China" batteries) are reliable
Battery 飞普斯 (Feipusi) 2300mAh Li-ion for P930/LU6200/SU640
Just bought one of these on chinese Taobao.com and it really improve batterylife! Also good quality, not crappy and without the feeling that it may blow up someday.
Good thing is, same size like original battery because i dont like the look and feel with the 3000+ mAh batteries.

After 3,5 hours of use (some Wifi/phonecalls) still on 100%!!! No way with stock LG battery... nice one.
Edit: 5,5 hours... still on 100%, more than weird but i like it!
That can't be possible. Reboot the phone and see if it shows you a true battery percentage.

I've read those are pretty good for use, typically better than stock batteries, but that they tend to drain a little more quickly when the phone's in standby than stock batteries. Regardless, I bought a couple. They're cheap enough, I'll give it a whirl =) worst case scenario, a couple extra backup batteries for me!

I thought so too, first guess was that i had to clean battery stats. After that it wasn't on 100%. But still at 89% now, after more than 7 hours with wifi on... movie on highest brightness and whatever.
Let's see if the performance will last, saw a lot of chinese products starting nice but in the end... :cyclops:
What rom and kernel are you running? What have you done to preserve battery life?

Have you actually put the battery through a few full charge-discharge cycles? Without putting it through a few days of use first, it is not really possible to tell how the battery performs compared to the stock battery.
It seems fishy that this battery is the same size as the stock 1800 mAh battery, but has a 30% increase in capacity...

I will try a few days and let you know. The battery weights more than the stock one. My wife's Lenovo phone have also 2300mAh tiny battery.
I guess the phone can't read the battery's information.

Interested in more in depth reviews!
been looking for something like this for a while. Should be great if you could give us a complete review & comparison. Thanks
I did not have much time the last days, here a short update.
Battery meter shows 100% for a long time, after some reboots it will go down to 90% but no change in battery meter if i dont do a reboot. Later the phone will shot down without any warning.
I will try to fully drain the battery and charge it in my phone with stock LG charger, see how this works out. I charged it with the 3rd party charger, that comes with the battery.
Also no success with battery calibration (because it won't charge if meter shows 100%) and clean battery stats in CWM.
Hi Cromson, can you test the battery calibration with Stock ICS, thanks!
To me, a battery that can't actually report its battery level (and has a questionable third party mAH claim) isn't worth ANY amount of money.
Just buy a second OEM BL-49KH battery and swap them out if you are concerned about extra bulk, and if you aren't get a Hyperion "3800" mAH battery.

Battery level is there, after some full cycle's (draining/loading) in the phone. Definitly better than stock battery, approx. 3-4 hours more time.

The fact that it cannot actually report battery level is highly suspicious. The Hyperion 3800mAh has no problems reporting accurate battery level.
So are there any other alternatives to fix the battery life? It's really horrible...what roms are you guys using?
I plan on buying this battery from ebay on Friday

I just bought this battery. I'll wipe the battery stats as soon as I get it and charge it to a 100%. How long did it take it to arrive for you? I live in the US
Battery seems to be draining slightly faster than stock for me... not sure why. On cm9 w/ ho!no! v5 kernel. The better feels a little better than the 1900mhz batteries from ebay i've tried. phone just sucks w/ battery life...
Woot woot! My battery just came in the mail today - Charging it to 100% as I type now
