I guess sprint wants its customers to have options. Bastards.
[Epic 4G Accessories] BenKranged:
The european/asian SGSII that is currently out uses a physically larger battery that will not fit SGS1 phones. Epic 4G touch, maybe what you say is true.
[Epic 4G Accessories] monkeyracer:
I saw the GSII at a Sprint training event and can confirm that it is the same physical size.
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
Lol there's no reason when they have the Epic, if it had better stats than i could see a point. Evo 3D makes it a device behind the times, I want a super Epic with the keyboard still on it :D
[Epic 4G Accessories] Zor Omega:
You do know wat the epic 4g touch is right....the galaxy sII... I heard it has some upgrades to it.......

From cellblock D
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
Losing a physical keyboard is not something I'd call an upgrade, that's a BIG step back IMHO
[Epic 4G Accessories] corythug:
I wouldn't say a step back, esentially everything else is, albeit aslight, upgrade. Id say different as apposed to a step back. Hopefully they will anounce a true sequal to the epic though, keyboard and all.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
I purchased an 1800 mAh for $9 shipped that should be here next week. Lots of testing soon.

Gotta be better than the 1 year old stock battery lol.
[Epic 4G Accessories] corythug:
Tell me that fits a standard door, not an exended one. Please tell me this! Hah.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
Supposed to. Ima be pissed if not haha. I take pics when it gets here. I have an Evo and my wife has an epic.

I have had a siedio 3500 w rugged case for some time and kinda miss the "trim" feel so I ordered a 2000mah slim for the Evo and the 1800mah slim for the epic. Will post up once they get in.
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
Now that I can agree on!!

Is the 2000mAh for the Evo OEM?
[Epic 4G Accessories] corythug:
Thank you :)

Could you please link me to the epic battery you bought.

Now time for a charge and the testing phase! Hope this just gets an extra 2 hours and will be super happy
[Epic 4G Accessories] omair2005:
can you peel off the sticker and see what the mAh is rated.. some of these batteries are printed one thing but when you peel the sticker off it says something else. you might see an initial boost in battery life, but its because its new. Just saying i've been ripped off before.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
I'm not too concerned about being ripped off. $10 for a new battery still doesn't hurt my feelings. It would just be nice for my wife to be able yo use her phone in her ****ty area and come home w at least 20% left.
[Epic 4G Accessories] corythug:
Thanks for link and pics, looking forward to results!
[Epic 4G Accessories] mouseglider:
Very nice pics and info - please keep us posted!
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
Yeeeup, I had a similar "2000mAh" battery for my old Hero and they aren't that strong. Was about as good as my OEM...

$10!!

should saved $2 and went with something far better: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3500mAh...713128?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf7d91368
[Epic 4G Accessories] cavey8500:
i just got this in the mail, looks great, has soft touch on the back, speaker still sounds good {was worried cuz its just a big open space to the door. havnt yet seen the battery life of it, ive been charging it sence i put it in and its only gone up 3% (about 25min 0_o) i have a feeling it will be pretty good! =)
[Epic 4G Accessories] shakewell:
Got mine today as well.. soft back.. not too thick either.. its perfect.. plugged it in said it was at 50% will let it drain to 0 and then plug it in to charge.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
I understand but its my wife's phone. Thick ass battery is out of the question. She came home today w almost 40% so it is working well. Maybe after it settles in it will continue to impress me
[Epic 4G Accessories] cavey8500:
i got myn with 72% haha, i always thought you where saposto charge it up then let it die? haha
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
NO, you need to let the battery charge all the way up before its first use!!

That's good atleast, but these thick batteries will change your life!

Yup, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS fully charge (and even sit on the charger a bit after) a battery when you first get it!
[Epic 4G Accessories] cavey8500:
i think you got myn and shakewells post mixed up, i charged myn all the way, and he let his die. haha
[Epic 4G Accessories] shakewell:
9 hrs 61 percent left..

4g on

gps off

bluetooth off.

lets see how it goes.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
so far the anker 1800 mAh after 3 full charges has been a large difference for my wife. between the battery (stock) not making it thru a day of work and it (1800) making it all day and almost out after 15 hours. I am testing 200 min and 800 Max conservative today. on wifi so far 3 hours and at 99%. nice.
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
Good to know!! maybe I'll get one and see what's what! I love reviewing batteries!
[Epic 4G Accessories] IronReaver17:
Just ordered the extended battery today. Does anyone know how long it takes to fully charge?
[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
I usually put it on my external charger, like this

that charges at a very slow rate so I'm not sure.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IronReaver17:
Does it matter if I don't use an external charger?
[Epic 4G Accessories] omair2005:
so after about a weeks use.. the oem battery is better than ankers battery. but its a good backup tho.
[Epic 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
I think our stock battery is hurt but I Odin dk28 and then took ota to ec05 and her battery life is better than it has ever been. Its staying just like that! W the 1800 she's seeing 18 hrs was her best so far.

At any rate, it is a good spare
[Epic 4G Accessories] LargePrime:
Thanks. I was looking at that battery.
[Epic 4G Accessories] BenKranged:
So can we call BS on this guy now that the phone is out?
[Epic 4G Accessories] LargePrime:
So I was thinking forums need a BS! button. Like a Thanks! button only different.

Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Accessories] monkeyracer:
You can call it but you would be wrong.

Here's the Epic battery:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB575152VABSTD

and here's the GSII Epic touch battery:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB625152VABSTD

You were probably confused by the fact that the non-US versions have a different sized battery:

But, keep in mind there are a lot of subtle form factor differences between that version and even between the 3 that the US will see.

So, how did I know it worked? I went to a training event where they had one of the Sprint Epic 4G Touch's and the rep said it would work, so I tried the GSII battery in my Epic and it fit.

Still want to call BS?

The phone officially launches tomorrow which means my store will probably have some today that I can snap a pic of the battery working.
[Epic 4G Accessories] BenKranged:
It looks like I was wrong. But its kinda hard to tell from those pics.

Are epic batterys interchangeable with all other SGS1 batterys?

I just ordered a samsung oem 1650mah battery the other day for my non epic SGS1. I really didn't think samsung could cram anymore mah into that form factor. Or I didn't think they were planning to.

:edit: These pictures show an i9000 battery in an epic. That answers that.

[Epic 4G Accessories] LargePrime:
Good job! See how good a BS button would work! You went through the extra effort to PROVE you were right, and Ben was...

Anyone else scratching their head at why they would do a different battery in the -not US/NA- market? Cost and volume and all that.
[Epic 4G Accessories] BenKranged:
Here we go

From here

Its sounds like the batteries may not be interchangeable after all.
[Epic 4G Accessories] LargePrime:

[Epic 4G Accessories] BenKranged:
I'm just waiting for more reports until I buy this battery for my non sprint SGS1 phone.

I'm hoping it does fit. I just don't want anyone wasting money.
[Epic 4G Accessories] gtuansdiamm:
I know that the nexus s has a different sized battery
[Epic 4G Accessories] LargePrime:
Pics or it didnt happen
[Epic 4G Accessories] gtuansdiamm:
No pics now and i cant het my hands on a necis anytime soon but its like half the width and a bit longer i know cause i tried to ise one when my epic ran out of battery while using odin
[Epic 4G Accessories] corythug:
Yup same mah different shape
[Epic 4G Accessories] LargePrime:
The Pics seem to show the Nexus S battery contacts on the side, not on the top, like a typical Galaxy S.

Should not the different/same batteries info be in the XDA wiki?

Every Li-ion battery has a chemical life span of around 3 years. If a new model uses the same battery, than an old phone will have a supply of new batteries. If a model does not have other phones that use that battery, then at some point ~3 years from introduction, the phone will have no functional batteries for that device.

I think battery compatibly info is important. Important enough to drive purchasing decisions. If you knew the Nexus S would have no usable batteries 3 years from now, and an epic uses the same battery as the SGS2, so it would, which would you choose?

So I guess I should put the info in the Wiki...
[Epic 4G Accessories] BenKranged:
Epic touch 4g and the euro/asian SGSII do not use the same batteries. This much is proven fact.
[Epic 4G Accessories] walord:
I have both so I played around a bit.

Epic Touch battery fits into the Epic 4G no problem, phone powers on, charges, etc.

Epic 4G battery can be persuaded to fit into the Epic Touch with just a little push but it is a bear to remove (had to use a flathead mini screwdriver to pry it out -no damage done). Still the phone powers on, charges, etc.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Generalhead:
So is the consensus that the standard battery for the Epic Touch 4G is the best extended battery for the Epic 4G that does not require an extended door?
[Epic 4G Accessories] ShooterMcED:
Is it really worth it to use a non-standard battery on a device that is not cheap to replace?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Fire n mage:

what about this?

Oops.. double post my bad. Uh how do I delete my post? XD
[Epic 4G Accessories] walord:
Yeah, it's the same size as the moment battery iirc.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Yes,although I would say the 2x Anker batteries for $17 is a good choice as well. The Anker batteries are labled as 1800mah but are probably closer to 1700mah. Still it's a good deal considering the cost per mah.
[Epic 4G Accessories] nimaim:
^ Agree with walord ... Epic Touch 1800mAh is the best battery for the epic that does not require an extended door. I'd highly recommend buying an OEM one off Ebay, mine is working great.
[Epic 4G Accessories] adamdelozier:
Agree 110%
[Epic 4G Accessories] lost_:
I got the 2x Anker batteries + wall charger from LaptopMate's Amazon listing for $12 ($5.99 + 6.99 shipping). So far so good. 14+ hours and 54% left, uncalibrated.

Both batteries had 2011-09 timestamp, so they're fresh.

EDIT: couldn't see any listing for that price anymore. Now it's $5 for only 1 and no charger.

IDEA: If trix is working with 2.0 then we can dump google talk from 2.0 and add it to a 1.2 fw because gtalk in 2.0 is much better. But i think there may be error in running apps because api have been changed. Is it possible to do that??
