Is the battery the same size as Epic1? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Cuz this guy knows for a fact that it definitely fits the epic.

Except I don't believe him and assume its like all SGSII batterys, taller.

it does....i just got a hands on from my friend at sprint. He also has a the first epic and took out the battery and showed me. He is stoked cause he said he still loves his epic and will still use it but with the epic 4g touch battery. I hope this helps you. As for me Epic 4g touch is for me!

More reports of "it is the same size/it fits/it works" are rolling in. Keep watching that link I posted. Looks like I may have been wrong.

Curious if the same can be said the other way around. Would save me the cost of an extra battery and charger. Yes, the Epic battery holds less juice, but having it as a backup to what I hear is already very good life would probably work out pretty well.

I will be using one of these new batteries in my epic1 for sure.

Sweet, guess I'll keep my batteries and charging kit

This is great news for epic users!

Yes, I own both and the dimensions are the same. The epic touch battery is just a higher capacity

Does anyone else notice it's harder to get the 1500mah battery in the Epic Touch? It looks like the bottom grove(s) are a little different. Everything else is the same, it's just a tight fit. It works though.

Thats what she said.

The external battery charger that Sprint sold for the epic works for the epic touch too.

Does anyone also have a Galaxy S i9000 to confirm if the new Epic's 1800mAh battery will fit / work in the SGS1 ?
Appreciate your feedback. Tq

Traded! Thanks for being here XDA!

I have a Motorola Photon 4g. Excellent Condition! Screen is PERFECT and has been in a case from day 1! Who wants to trade? I'm already looking on craigslist to find someone local but am getting impatient. In North Indiana.
I have the orig box, charger and like I said, comes with the grey and fake leather case that I bought from Sprint. I bought it straight from a corp. store.

NOTE: I'm only interested in trading the Photon and some Cash for an Epic Touch at this point.
wishful trading but most people are completely in love with their epic touch 4g, and you may have better luck putting this in the market section
Thanks! I did so we'll see.

Can someone please post to verify you can see the pic please? Thanks!
I see the pics in the link.
If you were local I would if the trade with you. Oh well.
I'm getting tire of this POS searching for signal in my home.
Thanks for letting me know!

Well if anyone wants the trade, someone better make the first offer. I have someone emailing me from the post I have up on craigslist just interested in trading the Photon for their Epic Touch, they don't want the touchpad.
Anyone want to trade?

How is the signal on the photon? I'm wondering because my wife and I use these phones for our work and in low coverage areas, so it might be smart for us to have 2 different phones just for diagnostic sake.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've never dropped a call. People all say on the forums that the photon has one of the best radios they've ever used. I'm just bored with the phone, that's why I want the epic touch. I have zero complaints about this phone as far as call quality, and reception is concerned. I just want something thinner.

Well, according to the photon forums, it appears to be mod friendly as well which is primarily what I care about, and the touchpad would actually be highly useful for my business, so I'd do the trade.
My S2 has what amounts to some light rubbing on that bottom piece of shiny plastic... You have to look at it in the light at an angle to even see it. It had the anti glare screen protector put on in store upon removal from the box, and both it and the screen are flawless.
I can get some pics if you're interested.

I tried to include some pics of the photons light rubbing as well. Due to it being in the case since purchase, it has gotten a few scuffs on the sides. I'm assuming like yours, something you need to look for to see. You don't happen to live around Fort Wayne, IN do you? Also, the TP is a 32gb with the touchstone dock and i have an old iPad 1 case that it fits in and has 2 stands built into the case that work really nice. Tho after thinking about it last night, it's not exactly a fair trade so I was thinking either I'd trade my Photon and some cash for the Epic Touch or both my Photon and TouchPad for the Epic Touch and some cash. What do you think?

Doh, oh well. I don't get paid again for a week and trading the S2 for just the photon (cash doesn't sweeten it much, still left without the S2 in the end) doesn't work, was much more the touchpad I'd be interested in.
I can understand where you're coming from though, so good luck!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well I'm still open to the idea. If you really want to trade, I don't care when you get paid... we work out a deal and swap phones ASAP... we can just work the TP deal when you get paid. It's up to you. I just think if I trade the TP and my phone for an ET, I'm getting screwed.
How much are you thinking in addition for the Touchpad?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
IDK... $100. I think that'd be fair. The 16gb Touchpad is $99... the 32, $150. After tax, shipping, the case, and touchstone charger, I spent around $225. What do you think?

Otterbox Cases!? SGSIIE4GT

I cant for the life of me, understand, why, ****ing Otterbox refuses to produce a case for the second highest selling phone on the market; the Samsung Galaxy s2 epic 4g touch. I emailed otterbox my concerns(anger) and still have recieved no response. This makes no sense, they make a case for the underpowered Infuse 4g but the sgs II is a problem?!

[Q] Does the epic 4g's battery work on the sprint galaxy s2?

So I am planning on getting a new phone, and am wondering if anyone knows if the epic 4g's battery will fit/work with the sprint version of the gs2, I know it is too small for the t-mobile version, but I can't chose between the att and sprint versions, and I have a ton of spare batteries for my epic 4g that I don't really use.
Well I'm using a S2 battery in my epic. The epic touch battery works fine in the OG epic. So I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way around. Although the lesser mah battery from the OG epic would be a slight downgrade over the stock gs2 battery.

It is a few microns thinner so it may be loose and easily dislodged. You may need a piece of matchbook cover in there to prevent that.

great, thanks! also, does anyone have anker or extended batteries for the sprint sg2?

[Q] Galaxy S3 battery in our phone

I couldn't find any info on this, but does the 2100mah battery fit into the epic touch? Seems like there was a store (from a slickdeals post) selling an extended battery for the S3 that is the identical product to the epic touch...so they physically are the same dimensions as the original battery right?
Not sure but I will definitely be getting one if that is the case!
I'm pretty sure the sizes are different

This. They won't be the same size.

S2 battery isn't the same size as S1... but it fits
I think the real question is who is going to take the time to jump and buy one and test then report the results
The gs3 battery is bigger and wont fit, there's a pic comparing both on the gs3 thread in general.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I don't think it will fit.
So did we confirm that the S3 battery will NOT work with our Epic 4G Touch? Thanks!

Yes
Unless you put a few wires from the copper connectors to the terminals of the battery then it would., wouldn't ?

battery on epic 4G touch

does epic 4G touch has the same battery as SGS2 ?? my epic battery sucks, and it difficult to find original E4GT in my country
Try a battery by anker, works great. They sell on amazon and you can use the Fascinate model batteries for our phone.
