Hi!

Well, I write herein hope that may help about a strange issue with my loved i927...

The original battery that came with it works pretty fine, but couple of months ago it became inflated (the old battery Works and Charges fine, only that is charge not last more that 3-4hours). Of course, the inflated stated is a really not good issue to deal and somewhat dangerous to maintain in use.

Because that, I then looking for a new battery and finally found one on a local store, that was a generic one, but exactly the same type, so since I been lucky in other cells with generic batteries, I bought it and return to home. Later I found that the new Generic battery was Not charging since the battery icon cycles when the charger is connected, but when I checked the battery status in settings the battery appears that not charging, BUT when I test with the OLD inflated battery, it charges fine and report charging in settings-battery status...

Due that I simply return the battery at store,didthe same test with salesman, and the he gladly returns the money to me, as also supposed that the generic new battery was bad.

After that, I simply choose the option to get it from ebay, and buy TWO new batteries and until my best, I choose a seller with solid record and that was selling GENUINE and NEW samsung batteries of the same type that use the i927...

After 2 weeks I finally got the batteries at my country, and I checked it, and they really seems genuine ancame in a samsung sealed bag, so I happy to test and wtf surprise when I found that BOTH new batteries NOT charging by the glide, but the old inflated one still charges and reports correctly the status in battery status panel... May be goo to cooment that the new ones are EXACTLY to the original one, in the minimal details and even in the font types of the same messagues...to my eyes it seems really genuines (and by the record I purchase on Ebay since at least 8 years ago, and yes I was busted by fake batteries in the past, and I have good electronic knowledge base...so I am really stumbled since them seems like new and original batteries... the contacts were GOLD unscratched when I open it and then scrached at the first normal insertion...)

By now, I already leave the new batteries charging a complete afternoon, and try calibration battery app by the seocnd test of every one of the new batteries...

I still found hard to believe that 3 new batteries (1 generic that was in sealed bag and opened front of me at store and 2 new ones that came from a good record store, in new bags from apparently samsung) refuses to charge, but the old inflated do it perfectly...and found hard to believe that the 3 new ones may be bad as is news...

So, I would like to know if may be somebody may have a clue, about if may be some battery code number storage in andorid that may make the phone not recognizes the new batteries, or something like that, since appart from the really bad luck that may be that new ones came bad, I dont want to try to import another new ones only to found the same issue that refuses to charge...(the new ones that I have with me is not reasonable to return, since I am not in USA, so the return of the package with batteries is more expensive that the cost of the lost of the price+shipping of the 2 genuine ones that I already have.

Thanks for kind attention and any help would be very gratefull

Best regards!
