uhhh pretty much sounds like it to me, just phone samsung and say your battery is discharging from full in under 5 hours and its a faulty battery. They'll ask for your phone serial number and then SHOULD send you a new battery completely free. At least they did for me now i've always got a spare battery in my pocket incase my phone dies.

I left it charging and its fine now. Im not sure what lasting damage has been done though!

If your cheap and in need of some extra power, I suggest ordering some backup batts from Hong Kong (ebay). I don't know what everyone's opinion on these non OEM batteries are here on these forums, but I have 2 in shipping right now and have read of other threads that they do the job. I just know I wont be charging these batteries IN my phone, just in the charger base the kit supplies.
I've also read some people making the valid point that if your willing to throw down the cashola on this phone initially, then u can afford the OEM batteries.... but I'm cheap

I've also bought those 2 batteries off ebay Quite a good deal actually as I needed a new USB cable anyway. I'll keep the OEM one as my new battery for now, unless I notice it is damaged

The bundle I ordered also has the USB and car usb converter. I've had my phone for 2 weeks and already noticed my damn cat has put a few teeth marks in my stock USB cable Now it's Canadian with some black duct tape.

the G7 batteries from HK on ebay work really good
i've been using them for a month, and they run as long as the Original that came with the phone
even though they might be fake, they run and look very authentic to me.

Thanks for the info, those are ones I have comming in

yup! that happened to me back then with my PalmOS phones
and also Windows phones
the problem is the USB connectors
some times if the USB connectors plugs in not aligned properly, it causes a weird charge & short of the battery, which results in the over heat, ultimately killing the battery.

[Q] Charging device for spare batteries.

I have two spare batteries and was wondering if there is some sort of device that someone came across that can recommend for me to buy. charging each battery by putting it into the phone would be too much of a hassle. Any suggestions?

how about this one ?
http://www.streaksmart.com/2011/04/...y-charger-available-now-for-less-than-5.html:)

I use this charger:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-1600mAh-Batt...316345?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e62e6deb9
Works very well (e.g. charges the battery before the next battery runs out, unlike some of the other ones available)
For $12 plus you get some more batteries, good deal.
There are many other auctions with the charger, varying in price and the number of batteries you get.
But the charger is good.

Well I bought this a few weeks ago and it came in the mail a few days ago...all i can say is nice..! It was 2 batteries 1600mah and a charger for like 18$ shipped and the battery last way longer than the stock one...I am very impressed and will let you know how they stand up...Today is my first day and I did not even drain and cycle charge them yet so I may get even more juice...I am very impressed for cheap ebay batteries...Anyways...cheers

I already have two batteries, I'm looking for a charger that can charge two batteries at the same time. I doubt that there is something like that out there lol

Anyone bought this? I did and it works lovely but when the phone is on the dock you cannot really use it. Everytime u touch the screen it goes haywire. Anyone else or is mine faulty?

New battery on the block?

Hi all, anyone tried these;
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1900mAh-...Accessories&hash=item3a6aadd5bc#ht_5871wt_922
?
Are they anywhere near as good as they sound?

Want to know too..
Yesterday I ordered Antutu 1980 (with mixed review)..
We, android user, always long for bigger battery..

anyone got one of these? I'd like to get one myself, but Im waiting for feedback first

hey. i now have a optimus 2x, but i tried this 'brand' battery on my xperia x10. there just a 1500ma battery re stickered. if you want huge battery life get the huge 3200ma with the extended battery cover off ebay. its pretty bulky though...

for me cheap 1800 battery from ebay works a little better than original 1500

Well, that battery performs more or lese like the stock one. I can barely get one day out of it.

No point spending money on "good" batteries.. Buy $2.80 ones and switch regularly.

Hi Sckank, thanks for the update. So, it's simpler and cheaper to buy another stock battery or an external battery pack that you can use to charge other devices.
Again, thanks. Anil.

Don't really c the point of buying a new battery..
Works decent..if it gets discharged, almost everyone has a mini usb to usb cable and while travelling, just get a belkin ac to dc converter..i think it has two sockets and a usb port..connects to the 12v cigarette lighter outlet in the car.. n doesn't hurt the car's battery as long as its connected when the engine is running or the car battery is fully charged..

Motorola BF6X Extended Battery

Does anyone have experience with the Motorola BF6X battery? Is it a legitimate OEM battery?
I purchased one from the following eBay user, but I've seen it around on other places. I will let you guys know how it is once I've got it, but I'd like feedback from others ...
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160657767951

I've had great luck with mine so far (1 week). Ordered 2 batteries with an in-wall charger for around 10-15 bucks. Can't beat it.

Those batteries aren't the same at all ... They are cheap knockoffs with probably half the rated capacity.

I bought mine at a verizon store. After I updated to 5.6.890 I monitored batt life. Had 40% @29th hour from the first full charge (had 70% when I bought it). Wrote it down, but can't find the stat. I was trying for 48hr. Fell short by 4 or 6 hrs.? Played XGalaxy2, Txt, Email, Tweaking, little broswering. lol . I'm using a live wallpaper now so thats using energy. ps. debloated.

I agree. Get the one from Verizon. You need the new battery door. I'm using one since I received the phone, still don't get anywhere near the rated phone specifications of 300 hours standby/550minutes usage. However, the battery does make a difference for me.
The inductive charger is also a nice accessory and works with the extended battery.

I got mine from amazon (the us site I mean), payed it 29 USD + 5 euros to ship it to italy (via a proxy service).

I just ordered a genuine Motorola 1930mAh battery; I've heard too many bad things about the generics and knock-offs to buy one of those. I would avoid them.
Can you buy genuine Motorola batteries for D3 that are bigger than 1930mAh (I mean bigger power-wise, not physically)?

It doesn't state that it comes with a new battery door... were you able to fit your battery cover on your phone with your new BF6X batterY??
or does anyone else who purchased a similar item know?

You can fit the battery in under the stock cover
but if you live in a hot area there wont be room for the battery to expand and that could cause problems

A battery of that size and capacity won't expand than the thickness of a sheet of paper. If it expands noticablly, you'd be facing a serious risk of explodsion whether if you're using the extended back or not.

New battery 910T? Best place to buy?

I'm looking for a replacement battery for my 910T. I remember Samsung had a battery and external charger for the spare battery...?
Anyway, wondering if anyone can suggest a good place (price) for a genuine Samsung battery.
Thanks in advance.

This is probably the last genuine battery available.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...lack/9061116.p?id=1219389049134&skuId=9061116
After these are gone all the rest found on will either be questionable copies or third party ones like Anker.

I tried waiting at Samsung web site for over 3 weeks for a battery, with no response, I have 2 note 4, black and white for me and my wife...
my 4 older Samsung batteries and 2 charger kits and they don't hold a charge anymore, from about 10 - 15 percent left, they shut down...
I just bought anker batteries on ebay with a charger for about $31, they hold a charge to 1%.. about 2 weeks ago.
they are lasting much better than the samsungs. and buying Samsung batteries on ebay or amazon.. u might be getting these fake batteries that don't last..

I've always gone Amazon. They were OEM batteries. I always check the feedback to make sure they aren't pulling a bait and switch.

The ones on Amazon are 99% fake knock offs which risk fire. Any story you have read online about a phone catching fire is usually either a result of a cheap knock off battery or adapter.
The only two places that have Note 4 batteries still are 100% legit.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-BN910BBUSTA
and the Best Buy kit I posted earlier in the thread. Anywhere else is questionable.
If a big box store gets them like B & H they will be legit too.
Amazon's inventory has been proven to be compromised. Several have posted online about their batteries even "shipped and sold by amazon" had been clones.
In case you didnt know this happens often on Amazon. The SD Card market and perfume market on Amazon even from Amazon is also like this.

I'm using the Zerolemon 10000mah battery, also if there is a Batteries+ they stock standard replacement batteries for most phones.

Im very happy with Anker bought on Amazon.

I definitely recommend the anker batteries. You can buy them on Amazon.

Hey DeeXii, really appreciate your information. But the Samsug page directs you to purchase it from Amazon. It says it is shipped and sold by Amazon too. Do you think this one is legit as long as it is sold by Amazon? Cause it is heck of a lot cheaper than the BestBuy one...

I would recommend the one from Anker, same capacity as OEM from a reputable brand that makes batteries. It also comes with 18 month warranty and a bit cheaper than OEM one. If you still want the OEM one make sure it is shipped and sold by Amazon.com and you should be fine.

I ordered 2 anker and a external charger on eBay for $35
I hope they're real.

1 battery can last me one day, sometimes down to 30 percent, depends on what I am doing, other times, down to 20 and under.. but it makes the day, then I swap and use the other, but only when it drains to 1 2 or 3...
they are better than all these knock off, I think I paid $31.. but they are better than all my old ones put together, wait till my wife come back from vacation, she will definitely take 1, then I will have 4 old batteries. then I have to test the old batteries and anything that shuts down from 20 or 15 percent is getting retired, junked out..
maybe I will have to buy another set to be happy..

I just Re-read your post, you did say that. Well I got (hopefully) the same thing, I think I paid $32 to be exact. Fingers crossed.

I'm waiting on these in the mail. I wonder if they will be good? Ebay item 201375415018 How would I tell if they are fakes?

I'm waiting for my anker package with 2 batteries and an external charger myself.
I read in another thread, they blame the quick charge 2.0 puck for damaging the batteries. Saying the increase voltage pushed to the battery for fast charging is what kills the life of the battery.
So my question is, those who have replaced Samsung with aftermarket batteries, are you still charging at night with the Samsung qc2.0? Or just using a 1amp or 2amp charger?
Help appreciated.

Mostly use the old 2A charger to prolong battery longevity. Need a quick boost? Adaptive fast charger or turbo charger from moto.
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.

Well I disabled fast charge option on the phone so it should be charging at a "normal" rate now and not the high voltage charging.
So far these anker batteries seem excellent, at least compared to my very degraded original samsung batteries. A deal for 2 Batts and a external charger Imho.

The more I use regular charging, my battery appears to improve and return to normal. All this only supports my reservation towards devices with sealed batteries.
