Just got a 1800 mAh from ebay - Galaxy S II Accessories

..But battery widget monitor says its 1650 mAh
Is there any other app to confirm that its either 1650 or 1800 mAH ?

Assuming your talking of the 3C71 Battery Widget, you have to update the mah in its settings. Have a look in Monitoring then Battery Capacity.
I have a 1900mah battery and after a good few charges and discharges the app now reports it at 1957mah, it just takes a little time to learn.

I can't believe you are SOOOOOOOOO lazy that you don't even bother to look in the settings of the very app you have installed on your phone.....

1750 mah Battery showing up as 1500 mah

I have a Platinum Series 1750 mah battery and when using the Battery Monitor Widget i just realized that it saying that the battery is a 1500 mah instead of a 1750? This make me wonder weather or not the phone is actually seeing the extra 250 mah?
You have to go into the settings and manually change it to the maH of your battery.
Yea I was wondering if there is an app or utility somewhere to verify the capacity of my cheap extended battery I bought? Just curious if I'm getting all that i'm paying for. Plus I feel like my stock battery is starting to go downhill.

[Q] battery capacity?

hi am vasigar from India. I bought this mobile 2 weeks ago and I one among those suffering from bad battery drain. So I installed Battery monitor pro today and incidently found that the phone is charged 972/1200 mAh (around 81%). As far as I know se arc has 1500 mAh capacity. So I am confused. Is it alright and the app reads like that or is there a mistake in either the battery or the application. Kindly help.
With regards

It's not belong to the exactly question by vasigar, but the titel is right!
So I dont want to open a new thread. My question is:
Well known the Arc S have a capacity of 1500 mAh. But there are diffrend sizes out there. Its possible to find a battery is match to our Arc S physically but with a highe capacity, like 2000 mAh? :fingers-crossed::victory:
Thanks for kind answers in advance!

None of those extended capacity batteries will work properly because stock 1500 mah battery gauge of the Arc / Arc S is hardcoded in the kernel and into the battery gauge reading-drivers so you are stuck at 1500 mah without any advanced re-writing of the kernel and drivers..

All of those 2000mAh batteries of the same size are fake anyway. Don't bother and just buy an extra battery or an external battery pack.

It is pretty hard to verify if the batteries are fake stuff or truw extended ones because kernel and battery reading drivers can't calculate and read proper battery gauge, thanks to the hardcoding of stock value at 1500 mAh.

app to determine exact battery capacity

is there a tool to test exact battery capacity in mAh ? I bought a battery on ebay it says 2450 mah. I want to know exactly capacity in it.

Go to your dialer and enter the following code: *#*#4636#*#*. Then select Battery Info/Statistics. It's the 'hidden' menu, but that will display your battery power in mAh.
it does not show mah. battery voltage is in mV .

Ain't this what you're looking for?
I tried once, it running forever, no result. I stopped it. I will try again.

But there must be like tons of apps like this. I mean, I found 2 with just searching for mah checker on Google. So there are apps yes
I tried Nova battery tester again. I waited a whole day it still running, I had to stop it. The mAh number on bottom constantly change. it cannot detect battery capacity.
do you know any other app ?

Battery case for s3

As in topic. I tried everything to make my Dads s3 battery last for 1 day with his usage. I failed. That's why I am asking you guys to help me with searching for a good battery case. Smaller = better. Even for a cost of precious mAh
Zerolemon s3 case. Look on Amazon.
or look for allegro
Thanks for answering my question. My dad says that he don't really need THAT big battery like zerolemon which is 7200 mAh. It needs to last 1 day under heavy usage. So ~ 5000 mAh sound good enough. Any ideas ?

But what's the point of this? He wants his phone yo last 1 day under heavy usage so that he needs his battery to be around 5000-4000 mAh
Bumping. Any ideas?

Which is the best/highest capacity extended battery for Galaxy S2 (i9100) ?

I want to buy an extended battery for my S2. But I don't know which one should I buy.
What high capacity extended batteries do you recommend?
Official or Fake?

If you want an official one, go with Samsung's 2000 Mah.
If you would something else (fake), it could potentially ruin your phone by blowing up or melting.
If you look around, people have done tests with 3000, 3500, 1800, and original 1650 Mah.
The only one that actually lasted longer was the 3500 one.
So if you would like my opinion, either Samsung's official or 3500.
Hope this helps,
Jleoz. :good:

2000 mAh is not enough for me. I want the highest capacity battery available for S2.
Which 3500 mAh one is the good? I read several reviews, but they are mixed. Some say it's really 3500mAh, and others say it's fake.
So which is the highest capacity extended battery for S2 that is not fake?

Its a 50/50 chance. But I don't know any official version of the 3500 mAh battery.

I'd guess, that none above 2000 mAh keep their promises. I got a 4800 mAh battery from mbuynow and it actually has about 3200 mAh (measured with battery monitor pro). This value also seems more realistic, when I look at the size of the battery. As the capacity is based on physics and not magic, a real 4000 mAh battery needs to be twice as large as the 2000 mAh battery from Samsung. So the size is a pretty good indicator for the real maximum capacity. A real 4000 mAh battery should be at least 14 millimeters thick, as my Samsung 2000 mAh (you can't have enough spare batts ) is 7 mm thick.
