Well, this battery may not be the best thing around, but my old stock is 2 years old, so the Attain has been a noticeable improvement for me.

It really is a good deal for the price! :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Yes, same size. Just doesn't have NFC capabilities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asderxsdxcv:
great thanks. i dont really use the nfc feature so this is a great deal for me. how is the battery life compare to stock is there a huge difference or still the same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
It's better than how my 2 year old stock had become, but it isn't as good as stock was in the beginning. We discussed this over the last page and a half; take a look there for more info if you need it.

I had bought the 2200 battery on Ebay and I think its worse off then the stock battery I have. I will be using it again to see if I can get the same results I first had with it. But for about $4 it is still worth having a backup. Just my 2 cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighmen:
They were around 3.75 each (or something) w/ 10% off 3 items from his store when I got them. I got 3 of the batteries for 10.11 and free shipping! Got them in 4 days.

So far so good, Battery booted at 68% and I brought it to 0 then fully charged it. It went down after normal use and I think my phone may have shut off around 10-30% ??

I'm using Battery Monitor Widget and set it to 2200 mAh. Not sure how to really read the graphs or what the estimates are counting, but it seems to run alittle better than my 2 year old 1650 mAh stock. Never used NFC on my phone so... We'll see how it goes.

I'm using some .99 TPU case, does anyone know a good metal bumper w/ silicone underlining? I had SGP Neo and after gaming had to cut off the back silicone from drooping/melting (aka Neo Hybrid lol) but after a year the plastic broke from pulling it out of my pocket, and glue held it to the silicone for another month, then the silicone tore. Bye bye SGP! Had a good run.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Spartun:
Hey, im sorry if this question has already been asked about this 2200 battery. I recently received a I777 that has a old stock battery in it. As of now everything is stock on the phone, does this battery work with a usb charger without shutting off into the loop? thanks you and again sorry if this has been answered, didn't see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Works perfect, no loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spacescreamer:
My original i777 battery drains out at the slightest of bumps my phone receives. At times like when i would fling the phone on the bed, and i pick the phone later, it's screen will be all warm and the phone switched off. It may power on again or not depending upon the % of battery drainage suffered.

Is this battery issue? Getting misaligned from the phone's contact points?

1) Is there an option for the 2200 mAh battery on Amazon.com as well?

Want as authentic a battery as possible for i777. 2200/1650mAh one will do as well. :)

2) I have access to Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II battery as well. Will that work without any issues?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] echow2001:

Very pleased.

Post some pictures please. Will follow suit if simple enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
in the I9100 threads there is a very detailed post on exactly how to mod the Korean cover.

if you dont have any use for the NFC. then the International version should work fine and that cover should snap right on no mods needed.

another thought that crossed my mind was to buy both (Korean and International) and use Korean battery with International Cover.

I will try to fint the Link if i can.

is ebay the only source to buy the 2000mah samsung battery?

i dont really care about nfc. so the ones listed as i9100 is ok to use on our i777?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
As far as i know, yes the non-NFC battery should function fine. however i have not looked into in great detail because I really want NFC.

and no there are many supplies listed on the I9100 forum, but ebay is your best bet. be sure to read that forum so you know how to tell which battery you are buying.

Fox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
just to confirm -

this is the one i want (non nfc) EB-K1A2EBEGSTD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
Which battery is compatible? I want NFC.. I can probably mod the tabs if the back cover actually fits our phone...

edit: Here's the ones I found on eBay, not sure which has NFC or not

1) US Seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-200...ccessories&hash=item256a41e8bd#ht_1748wt_1139

2) International: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-SAM...ccessories&hash=item3cbed6b7e0#ht_4081wt_1037
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
Option 2 for sure, the orange sticker on the package denotes that its the Korean version.

aw man the nfc (korean) version is cheaper but requires modding.

maybe i will just buy both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] audiophan:
To clarify - international version works with the stock back cover but no NFC and most importantly no boot loops which I've been reading about?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
It's not that it works with the stock back cover but the new cover will snap right on without modifications. And I've had the Korean version in for a few days now. I'm on my second charge cycle with no boot loops.

Is it possible to buy just a "extended" cover of International version. If not, meybe we should ask sellers from eBay who are selling 2000mah batteries and covers together to get some extra covers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
So far I have not found, or seen anyone that has found just the cover by its self. But asking the sell is an interesting idea indeed.

So I bought the international version ( eb-k1a2ebegstd) and it has the reboot battery loop. I thought this battery has no issue for the i777.

I am unable to charge.

I bought it from mobifun uk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
lol... I just ended up buying both batteries (Korean and International) so I can have the back that fits unmodified, and NFC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
I thought the Korean version is the one we should be buying.. for the cover and the nfc battery... I could be wrong..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
Korean is the one with nfc but cover needs modification. International (non nfc) is the one with no mod needee with the cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Coak5:
Wrong. Both battery covers need modification to fit on the phone. I have both as I bought the international version by accident and the cover would not fit on the phone. After buying the Korean NFC version, I still needed to modify the tabs and shave the edges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:
Maybe your intl was a defective cover. My intl version cover snaps in with no problem and no modifications needed.

Top cover is original. Bottom is 2000mah Intel cover. You can clearly see the tabs are aligned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Coak5:
Yes the tabs align but the bottom tabs prop the phone up and they need to be shaved down in order to be used.

If there is, I guess i'll try to sell the battery and just keep the cover, then i'll buy the korean kit.

yup, that would be the best combination but unfortunately they dont sell it like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Well, if i do get the loop I'll just sell the battery to someone on the i9100 forum or eBay and then I'll buy the Korean version battery. If i can't sell the international battery i will just keep it for when i travel and charge it with a dock charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] polobreaka:

what kind of charger would work with this battery? i tried to do a search and the charger looks like mah specific?

Ok, I just recieved my international version and the battery does work in the phone but does not charge while in the phone, I am getting the loops. Also, the battery cover does not fit, it just doesn't want to snap into place!

Anyone able to find just the cover for the international version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
^Should have bought the Korean version of the battery.. the cover needs modding to fit.

I did buy the Korean version also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
Just an update... I got my international battery cover in and while the tabs do line up with the oem battery cover... the tabs just do not want to stay snapped in. They keep popping out -- either left or right side (but not both at the same time), right below the power button or volume rocker. :(

I think I'm going to grab a pair of pliers and try bending the tabs slightly... just need to figure out which tabs grab in which direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phatalbert1000:
Very strange. Good luck with your modding endeavors. Does the cover seem to be too wide or what?

If all else fails, maybe a nice case (like the aforementioned SGP) could hold it all together for you. Not ideal but its a thought...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Same thing with mine :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
I already have the SGP case... but it's like the tabs aren't grabbing inside of the phone. It seems to be the correct width but no matter how hard I squeeze the cover on the phone at least one tab will not remain seated.

Edit: I think I figured out the issue. If you compare the track between each tab on the international cover vs the oem i777 cover, you will notice the lip is ever so slightly higher. I am going to try trimming this lip to see if that will allow the case to snap on better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Please let is know what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
Didn't seem to work, the tabs still slip out of the grooves. This is pissing me off. I'm going to use my dremel on it later and see if I can really get all the excess off.

Let us know how it goes with the dremel

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
I have both. Haven't used the dremel yet. But I know the Korean one requires more shaving and doesn't snap on as tight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jingletard:
My wife got me some massive 3500mAh battery thing from Amazon.com for Christmas and while the back cover is huge and it adds a bit of bulk to the phone, my phone finally lasts almost 2 days without having to charge. The tabs *do not* all stay in when you snap the back in but you have to make love to both the top & bottom of the phone at the same time to get all the tabs snapped.

Snap the top tabs in with one hand, then pressure on the bottom with the other hand to snap those tabs in. It takes some work but eventually, you'll get all the tabs snapped in if you press hard enough.

http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-Capacity-Replacement-compatible-vertically/dp/B005Q75A84/ref=pd_cp_cps_1

There's the link to what I have. It adds lots of bulk but it does make the phone feel a bit easier to handle, it's like putting meat on the phones bones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] itchy5:
so even with modification it wont stay on as well as stock cover? I hate that ATT had to mess with the housing of our phones; i wish they left it exactly like the I9100 so we can use their accessories.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ioft:
Ya it's a no go for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] umlaut:
I got the Korean 2000 mAh battery+cover. Arrives very fast (less than a week) with expidited shipping from Korea ($$$) using that Ebay seller.

As other said, tabs need removed. All of them from both sides, top and bottom are perfect. Also parts of the inner (perpendicular) edge protrudes higher than the stock, so need to dremel that down a bit.

I'm left with a cover that snaps on top and bottom, and sits 99% flush. It will never fall off, but I am a bit worried about dust and elements getting in, and I need a cover anyway...

I'm going to use a cover that's compatible with the i777, the 2000 mAh battery and does not allow the rear cover to be removed as to protect where tabs no longer exist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
When you removed the side tabs does it still close tight with only the top and bottom tabs or is there a small gap on the sides? Where do you think the dust will enter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] umlaut:
It does sit flush, however there is ~1mm play/flex in the cover, it's a very tiny amount. This may be because there's 6 inches of cover with no tabs. ;)

I figured out that my $10 cover from amazon does fit.. barely. But not ideal. Search for "TPU-Case i777".

Because of the bump in the original case, there's an air gap between the case and the phone near the square camera opening when I put on it. So I'm looking for a case with no bump that supports 2000 mAh, or maybe iphone 4 bumper style, but the rear protection has to extend past the edges of the cover (non-removable without taking the whole case off).

To summarize:

- Dremel the sides of the cover (tabs, divits, prependicular edges where needed)

- Top and bottom tabs fit 100%

- Find a flat-backed or open 2000mAh cover that extends past the edges of the removable rear cover.

Then you would be 100% solid with the Korean extended battery+cover.

Hope that helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Thanks for the details. I actually bought an aluminum bumper off Ebay, I hope it will hold down the side edges?! My bumper and Korean kit should be here this week our next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Monsterfox50:
If you bought the Taurus bumper, then no it will not hold down the sides of the battery cover.
