I used battery monitor widget for the graphical representation and my own bespoke excel sheet to record the battery % at irregular intervals, waking up, lunch, going to bed etc. (I don't think anyone would want it but I can post the .xlsx version if required)

I then used a formula or two to give me an idea of my average usage.

I was interested to see that below 10% the battery began to drop very rapidly despite some battery saving tweaks like underclocking and dimming screen below 10%
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
I have one of these, thinking of the official extended battery. Any point?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] cletusarrarr:
not really unless you have money to burn :P
[Galaxy S II Accessories] superleeds27:
Gone ahead and bought one. Stil not convinced that im getting more from the ankher than i was from stock 1650 tbh
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vlad1981:
I have been using these batteries for over 3 months now and here are my findings:

1) I very doubt that they are 1900mah because:

- They weight exactly the same as original battery - 23g

- They are as thick as original Samsung battery

- They last as long as original battery

- Under Anker wrapping there are some numbers and some of them are 1650 so I suspect its the real capacity.

** I have means to measure exactly how much mah goes into it but I never done so as I was happy with its performance. But for the sake of confirming their actual capacity I will check all 3 batteries (2 Anker ones and original Samsung) and will update later. I bought them as soon as I bought the phone so all of them are exactly the same age and number of life cycles.

2) 98% of the time I use supplied desktop/wall charger which I power not from the wall socket but by plugging official Samsung phone charger into the side of Anker charger. Then I just change batteries.

**** This is universal charger and is spring adjusted to various battery sizes (bottom plate slides in/out). I put a coin in there to match exactly to S2 battery size. That makes putting a battery in much easier

Normal Li-ion batteries fully charged voltage is 4.2V . Anker brings it to 4.16 which means it slightly undercharges it (for safety and life extension reasons I guess)

4) I suspect reported burned battery/charger was due to incorrect contact between charging pins and battery charging plates. Anker misaligned a sticker on one of my batteries.

BOTTOM ONE IS WRONG !!!! FIRST CHARGING PLATE FROM RIGHT IS YOUR + , SECOND FROM LEFT IS -.

5) I use Hybrid silicone/hard plastic case without the stock battery cover and change batteries when they are discharged. Takes 10 seconds. Done it over 100 times now and case is good, didn't rip and is holding battery firm in place (as said above I don't use original battery cover to make the "change" process easier).

Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. I paid £13 for 2 bats + charger which is 30% of the price of samsung 2000mah battery. I'm never out of power even if I decide to have screen on for 8 hours a day.

I had these batteries lasting me up to 3 hours of screen time (though its not only a battery factor but ROM/Kernel as well)

Once again I will measure exactly how much mah goes into each battery and will update you.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pewpewbangbang:
please do.....it's been killing me if these are actually better. They might be better than my stock because my stock one is old and beat up now. Only problem i have with it is it charges super slow.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] striker76:
Got my anker. Can I check if I can charge the anker battery in my phone using the official Samsung wall charger instead of the supplied anker charger? It's rather slow if I leave anker battery in phone to charge using the anker charger.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] buxz777:
yes this charger will work and is also very very good :-) doesnt over charge the batterys ie it stops charging when they are full , has lights for showing you charged etc and even doubles up as a stand for your sgs2 as well

much better then the anker charger so buy it 110%

it also works with the 2000mah battery from samsung too which is what i charge in there :-)

What is your configuration overnight? 3G on? Sync On?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] maccawire:
I use tasker to toggle airplane mode every 15mins and back to wifi overnight.

I also use tasker to enable autosync every 30 mins for 2 mins 24 hrs a day. Background data always enabled.

On this charging cycle I've got approx 60 hrs uptime with 20% still left. (Connected usb for 20 mins halfway through but its still pretty decent)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Vepo:
I bought a set and been happy with it. Gives same or more usage time compared to the original battery.

Reagarding the use you gain 20-30%.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] theman22:
I bought these batteries from Amazon. I could not be happier with the batteries. I just wish I got that black charger. The Anker white charger I received has movable pins that have to be lined up with the battery. Such a PITA!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nakTT:
Hi guys. So far how is the reliability of the battery? Is it as good as advertised in term of performance, reliability and charge capacity? Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Honusnap:
Two posibilities here :

1 - Your stock battery is faulty

2 - You are running on exctasy or other ... ! The stock one is a "real" 1600mah, how can a supposely 1900 mah can last 3 times the stock one ...? Magic ..? Voodoo ..?

As the one i was sent was the desktop charger and means you still need your official charger to charge the batterys.

So i wanna ask that will it work on my galaxy s2?

I mean is the size dimension etc same?

Can it fit into sgs2?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] EB10000:
I just got a new Anker 1900mAh for my SGS2. Did 5 full charge cycles as advices... I must say that this battery performs much worse that the samsung 1650 mAh.. Using Antutu battery test I got a poor 380 points with the Anker bat vs 444 points with stock bat... Stay way from it...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] EB10000:
OK did some further testing using battery widget pro and Antutu tester and even Nova battery test, the claimed 1900mAh Anker is actually a 1400mAh battery. Worse than the stock battery. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] raziel123:
The 1900 mah Anker batteries are falsley rated,

they are actually 1650 mah batteries,

I've got one myself and it's not lasting any longer than the standard batteries.

go for the 2000mah samsung extended official battery if you want longer running times.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] takkaros:
I was looking at this thread to see what people think about these batteries. When i saw them first think i was looking at was if they are EU approved. You need to see the CE marking printed on the item (Conformité Européenne, meaning "European Conformity" from wiki). See HERE how to recognise fake markings, which mean they are only printed on the item for miss-advertising.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olyloh6696:
Last few pages of this thread seem to be negative, I have one ordered asy Christmas present, hope it lives up to its claim...

I noticed by S2 heats up a lot whilst in heavy use or charging, hopefully the Anker battery can help reduce the heat generated.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] JokerAce:
Have you experienced any loss in signal or phone unable to detect network when the phone is heated?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olyloh6696:
Nope, not really!

I'm running the stock ICS ROM. My phone gets hot in heavy use when I'm playing games, or when the phone is left charging.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kkm9139:
From the link you posted above it seems the CE conformity marking is incorrect. But that doesn't mean it's fake (although i think it is).

I bought the same kind of battery (not the Anker one, a 1800mAh one) earlier this year and the performance was pretty bad... first it seems like it's draining slower (it wasn't calibrated) but after several circles the battery was draining a lot faster than the stock one... And after reading this thread I checked the CE Marking and sadly it was a fake one...

It might be different for this one... I don't know... but form my experience those battery are not better than the stock and worse most of the time :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] MercedesLove:
my anker battery, looks in her performance like a original Battery.. :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olyloh6696:
How long have you had it for? It's recommended for 5 full charges for optimal performance.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olyloh6696:
Just got my Anker as one of my presents yesterday. Impressed with the packaging looks and feels very high quality.

Gave it a good 10 hour charge last night, been using it like I normally would on a regular basis, currently on 87%, doesn't seem to show a performance improvement yet.

I'll keep my posts updated.

Hiya mate, just search it on Amazon, its the first one.

Furthermore to my tests, I can confirm that the battery IS better than stock.

Did my usual tests today with the same usage I have been the last week on stock.

I'm typically getting 3 and a half hours screen on time. But today on my anker on its first charge, I got 4 full hours screen on time. I got some screenshots. Will post a little more In depth review later on.

Phone is currently charging now. I noticed that it runs cooler as well.

So far, impressed, definitely getting 20% more battery usage.

Improved from 4 hours on the first and second charge. Much better than original only getting me 3 and a half hours.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Fureeze:
Any updates from people who have used this battery for extended periods of time? And someone mentioned the battery being somewhat bigger than the original one, and that this will lead to tearing down the sides or something of where you put the battery. Is this correct?

I found this on eBay, and I think I might go for it. Does it seem legit?

I have seal pack anker battery pack. I got the delivery from amazon after I sold my galaxy S2. Anyone interested in India please PM me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] senor_sombrero:
Bought one of these for my wife's S2 as she has had a bad time of recent with batteries starting with her stock one after she got the JB update. Hopefully this will improve things as she is hardly getting less than half a day without recharging (not heavy usage).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] olyloh6696:
Stock JB actually worsens battery life, so its probably that causing bad battery not the battery being faulty.

Disable Google now and location services. But this battery should improve the performance anyway
[Galaxy S II Accessories] senor_sombrero:
Thanks again, I've tried her phone with other roms (neatrom and sentinel) and it has remained the case. I did have a suspicion that JB was using more juice than ICS.

Either way, as long as this phone gets me nagged at less for her phone going flat I'll be happy too!! :laugh:

★★How to install DSP★★

1. move to system/app.

2. Select R/W.

3. paste the app.

4. Now install it VIA ROOT EXPLORER

3. Set permissions in the picture provided.

(I DON'T TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS APP)

*should work with EVERY ROM! *

https://www.box.net/shared/cd113rdnixyk4krdh7ic

★★ Edit ★★

Use Google music or other music player app! The stock HTC music player disables DSP if you change the EQ mode in the HTC stock music player. Google music gives you a sweet option when pressing menu also quick access to DSP.

*****People are saying this only works with CM sources. It works on sense Roms unless they have CM sources which I doubt they do*****
[Android Apps and Games] snakeeyes21:
Thanks.. been looking for a dspmanager that works on cool3d AceS Rom on

HTC desire.

The ones I found tended to need libs placed in various places and would

either not work or send in to a bootloop.

This works straight off, no extras needed

Also integrates fully with Google music 3.0, click menu then the sound effects

button and it gives the dsp settings.. great stuff.

Edit... Oh you already mentioned the integration.. teach me to read before

I use GingerReal ROM v1.2. It works superb as long as you don't need to connect to Eclipse to try to develop some apps. Everyone who codes can be a dev - thats the beauty of android right! But I found several errors in setting up the Development environment. I had posted it here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269640

It appears to be a ROM problem as there was no problem in the stock ROM (atleast froyo.. i didnt try developing in stock gingerbread).

Can I know which all ROMs are there for SGA which don't give much of a hassle in setting up development with Eclipse? I am asking for ROMs which provide easy DT a2sd and dalvik in sd-ext.:confused:
