Hello XDA!
Okay so I have the NFC model of the S3 Mini (i8190N) and in need of a battery. The reason being because the phone just keeps randomly rebooting like all the time now (say if I am at 90%, it will randomly reboot and go down to below 5% ). It never used to do this and I have had the phone for not even 12 months (Around 8/9 months now I've had it). I'd like to think its the battery that is the problem as I have done a "battery test" like spinning it around and placing it on a flat surface and it drops. My battery has 4 pins (not like 3 pins from the original i8190 model).
Sorry for if some of what I have said doesn't really makes sense (haha ) but If anyone has any help they can offer me, it'd be greatly appreciated!
P.S: I was looking at the original NFC battery on Amazon which is about £10 (as that was the only one I could find with 4 pins lol) and was wondering if that'd help anything?

I also bought the 3-pin instead of the 4-pin one for my I8190N, it just losses NFC connectivity. It doesn't bother me since I don't use NFC. If you need the 4-pin one, might need to buy from original Samsung center which will be quite expensive.
Wow so you can use a battery with 3 pins (in a NFC model with 4 pins) and it'd still work?
What about this battery then? Would this be okay to use? Would it stop the reboot issue also? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00A89528S?pc_redir=1408125233&robot_redir=1
Edit: Ordered the battery earlier so here's hoping that when it arrives, it'll work fine!
And sorry if the first part was a dumb question xD

Bump! Pls help!
buy a new battery, this will solve the problem
Se ti sono stato utile clicca sul tasto Thanks rotfl
Yeah dude. Recently i was in same situation. Just go and buy an new battery and use only stock based roms. Higher than 4.1.2 will cause battery defections.
Thanks guys for the replies!
I'm using R Mod v3 at the moment which is obviously based on stock 4.1.2. That will be fine to use right?

Obviously the battery is faulty. Is it a genuine Samsung one or one of those cheap Chinese knock-offs ?. Dont use the battery again or you may destroy your phone next time.

yes its the official battery that came with the note
i will go to samsung to buy a new one !!
thank u all for the help
don't know how but these official Samsung note batteries don't last more than a year
Mines still okay after a year #touch wood#, i think it depends on your usage.

I need a new phone for work, could someone please tell me if this phone can keep up with:
Typing 3 words a second (quite a few phones can't keep up with my speed unfortunately.)
Slight drops, maybe from 4ft on a floor as hard as rubber tarmac (like in children's playgrounds)
Slight water resistance (a few drops on the screen)
My s2 survived for 4 months of this usage, along with about a year of normal usage.
Can this phone cope? Thank you ever so much !

In that case there are many more cheaper options available. However, if you want a phone of at least this caliber, I suggest you to get an SII again.

You can tey the Samsung xcover. It's an outdoor amartphone
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't recommend. A friend of mine got one and received constant force closes in all application after flashing a new firmware. This is the second case I'm aware of.
Nowadays I would buy a Xperia with native CM10 support.
Recommend this over the S2

Hi there, I was disassembling my watch to be curious. I found the battery area and I noticed online there are micro batteries around the web. Do you guys think there is a way to get one of those batteries and fit it into the watch and use the ribbons (the wires) that were on the old battery and make them work with the new battery? I'm still trying to look for a good battery only if it is confirmed that one can do this. Thanks if you can help me out!

I'm thinking you've gone deeper into your gear than a lot of us...
Find a battery that fits, has similar voltage output, and let us know how it goes! :fingers-crossed:
for the size of 20mm x 30 mm you will be very lucky to find anything over 315mA
i had a quick search and i found 310mA etc
unless you can modify the case some how i dont think you will find anything

You rock! Thanks for putting this together. Any chance you can link the battery you used just in case anyone (myself included) wants to order it and make the update themselves? Not much difference, but as this device gets older it might be worthwhile to swap batteries.
Thanks again for the nice mod!

How has no one noticed the fact that the word "350mah" was written in marker and not printed?

I have successfully replaced the battery before, but be cautious if you do get a gear, only tested on original gear. You have to switch the capacitors, or the battery will just drain, and it needs the same voltage. The LG G Watch I heard was a great device, and with the oneplus, the G watch has full compatibility. I used the gear once with a Droid ultra, I had problems with a few things, and no galaxy store. Good thing I'm back to my Note 3 (for now ☺).
when replacing the battery with the 350mah one, you have to switch a capacitor? you can just connect the two wires to the pads? and what is the battery regulator? I want to try this one
