Yes, everyone has been modding by removing tabs. I tried without success.

Has anyone tried to heat the stock battery cover and then try to form fit it with the new battery. Should be as simple at heating the cover (removed from phone) in the area where the battery would make contact using low heat. Then while the plastic is soft snap it on to the back of the phone. Let it cool and in theory it should fit perfectly. It should have a small hump of where the battery is.

I would test this is I had a extra cover and extended battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phatalbert1000:
Interesting idea but it would be difficult to do perfectly? Do you think there would be some pretty noticeable stress marks?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
The international cover fits... i dont know what you ppl are talking about. As mentioned ABOVE! presented with videos and pictures, if you purchase the international package EB-K1A2EBEGSTD then you will have no issues. I've tested this myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nappent:
I'm sure there will be a chance for that. The back cover already has a small indentation for the stock battery so you can see where the cover would need to be heated and pressed on the battery for a proper fit/form. The only problem I see is that the "GalaxySII" logo is right at the top of the battery of where the battery lines up in the inside. Hopefully that make sense. So doing this method will likely cause the logo to be deformed in some way. Would best to just heat from the inside of the case.

I'm very tempted to try this myself but first want to get a spare stock battery cover just in case the plastic is too difficult to mod like what we need. It clearly will look modified but since many of us are wanting this battery to use with a stock size case on our phones... the look of the back cover is likely not a huge issue.

Ok guys just got my korean battery to comfirm i had to cut the tabs to make it work with the phone but the promblem is that you need to cut almost all the tabs on the side so the sides kind of bulge anyways i got it good enough to stay on and fit the phone correctly but now it wont fit in my Case-mate Tough case so the solution was to take the cover off the back of the phone and leave the 2000mah battery in..So theres no random reboots to confirm battery life seems excellent so far but i can t really say anything since ive only had it in the phone for a few hours.

Any brave volunteers? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Andrew149:
that seems way to cheap and thats the wrong battery you want the Korean battery not the international one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Discard battery, keep

battery cover

, is what i'm going for ;) and I think so is everybody else. Also it's not too cheap because I can buy this same kit from ebay for $10 more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
Didn't you already purchase an international cover? Modified it and it still didn't fit you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
I purchased the international and Korean versions, i did not manage to mod either battery covers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
Why exactly did the international one not fit you? Did the tabs not line up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Ok, i put the battery in, then tried to put the cover on by starting with the bottom tabs, then the side tabs and then the top. Problem was one of the top corners would always pop out, if i applied enough pressure on that corner out would close but then the other corner would pop out. So that is why it does not fit. I compared the tabs from my original cover to the international version and i did not notice much of a difference, maybe the tabs were a bit longer or shorter on the international version, i really couldn't see what needed to be modified. Anyways i tried some cutting but it didn't work out. And trust me, i did buy the exact same kit that you mentioned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
The problem is in the bottom tabs I believe when you place the cover on it feels a bit stiff and prevents the cover from going down fully. This creates the tension in the back that prevents the cover from gong down in that area. Try shaving the two tabs on the bottom that go into the phone in the phone hump area. Hope this helps. When you compare the international cover notice how the bottom cover tabs are made below the cover while in the international it is coming from the middle of the cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately i got frustrated and threw out both the international and Korean covers, just kept the batteries :-)

I'm thinking on buying those ones i posted links to, maybe they will work out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryosx:
Test it out for us, please :p should probably press the seller if the cover really works for our phone. We know Korean and international don't work for us. If the seller is advertising any combo compatibility... it just seems too shady/unreliable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Well, if i buy one from Amazon and one from Ebay, I'm sure i can get back my $$ this time because both seller's actually mentioned "compatability i777". Then we will know for sure. I don't see anyone else stepping up to give it a try, i have no choice, i will be the one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryosx:
We love you, haha :)

This is not for the I777 (look at the description)...:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Interesting, when I checked that link last night, could've sworn it had i777 in the item name. Guess they changed it overnight (I didn't purchase it, anyways).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
It did say i777; I looked at it right after you posted the link. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] timberwarp:
I finally got my 2000mah battery from the amazon link. I am charging the phone and the tabs took a while to lineup but it clicked on fine. Afraid to take it off though. :) Since it took a while to get it to click in. Either that or all the tabs broke as I did it.

I will definitely post on battery life. My stock battery running Shostock 2.0 lasted about 10 hours in general use (browsing the web, continuous txting, playing music, etc). If I can get at least 12 or 14 hours its a win for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:
Which amazon link did you purchase from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] timberwarp:
Oddly enough the posted on top of this page (cant post links because I am new =\).

When I bought it the website said it worked with i777. I notice they changed their description though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
That thread is only a reference that you can change the housing so that way we can accommodate the phone to have an i9100 back housing which is working with the international battery kit ( battery cover ), then just buy the Korean battery kit for the battery and your set.

That's why I'm getting the black ;-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:
Man just get the international phone sell you att galaxy and get the international s2... I feel like you will save more money that way in the long run rather than doing these experiments. Or get the s3 when it comes out next month.:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
Good advise, but right now or even next month I can't afford to buy the S3, I will need to wait for the at&t version so I can get it on contract fo $200-300. I'm sure when the S3 comes out it will cost like $500+ unlocked. Also the i9100 is also expensive, I would need to sell my i777 but i'll only get like $350. I can buy the i9100 housing for $12 plus the the 2 battery kits (one for the battery, one for the extended battery cover), total will cost me around $100, not too bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
More than that...closer to $800 than $500 probably.

2000 ma battery fitting Trident Case

I love my Trident Aegis case. Anyone have experience using this case and 2000 ma battery? Will it still fit the phone with or without the back ? Not at all? If I cant get my case to fit, I really doubt I'll get it. I work outside all day, every day, so not being able to use my beautiful aegis case, that protects my awesome phone, will be a deal breaker!

By the way I am getting almost 3 full days of battery with stock battery, using neak kernel, neak config Pro, and Lulzactive app, UV-ing is awesome my friends!!! I don't play many games but am on the web a lot! I am thinkning I could get maybe 5 days with 2000 ma. HOLLA!

Next question, what if you dont give 2 ****s about NFC? Will the internationl battery work? or bootloop? or wont charge in the phone? I dont care about NFC, prob will never use it, I just want the cheapest samsung 2000 ma battery that will fit my trident case, that will charge in the phone, don't care about modding the back, as long as my case fits.

Thanks for any help! (I will properly thank you if you do)

Ok, well any other decent cases then that will fit with 2000 mah ? If I could mod the Korean back, just to hold it on, then put it in a nice case who cares if it is bairly held on.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
It was a 10 minute job, i followed the instructions from the thread about putting in a white housing (i think it's in the i777 general section or the questions section), only thing i did different was i used a black housing instead of the white. I only had to trim down a little part (loop hole attachment) of the new case because the housing wouldn't fit on the phone, that was easy, i used a sharp utility knife. The housing fits perfect and now i can finally add my extended battery and battery cover with no mods to anything. i will report when i have the final product and will post pics of the end result.

Korean kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-SAMSUNG-Galaxy-S2-SII-2000mAH-Battery-Case-Cover-Set-i9100-/130662470862?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e6c1714ce

International kit http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-2000mAH-Extended-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-2-i9100-Battery-Door-/220964126023?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item33727cfd47#rpdId

i9100 housing http://www.ebay.com/itm/170814963528?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Step Two: Once you have all the parts, follow the instructions in this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382660&page=2 Thread.

Step Four: take the battery from the Korean kit (NFC) and put it in the phone, then take the battery cover from the International kit and snap it in place on the phone. Now you are left with a Korean cover and International battery, you can either try selling them or be a good sneak and return it to the international Kit seller (it did mention in the listing that it works with north Amrenican Galaxy S2 but we know it will just boot loop, so this is a good excuse to do a return), up to you.

Step Five: ENJOY 2000mah battery life and nice new shape of phone ;)

I will post some pics soon, I'm still doing the initial 7-8 hour charge on the new battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dimatchka:

Less expensive rout

1. Get tasks awesome ROM aopk - you need it to charge the international battery

2. Purchase only the international kit or the Korean if you want nfc... who knows when that sh%t will be enabled on our phones

3. Insert battery and cover = profit

4. If the international cover doesn't fit then trim the bottom tabs just a bit = easiness lever -> MAD EASY

HERE ARE SOME PIX

Top one shows that international battery charges with AOPK

Money spent? $50
