I'm super happy, i want to test the s7 battery but it is difficult for me because i'm in Italy.

So what's your usage?

Wifi or 4G all the day?

Because if you use a lot of 4g and give you 2 more hours of juice in WiFi give almost 3 hours..

And does the battery "overheat"?

If you have more screenshot you can share with us, standby and SoT ?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] BranC85:
Thanks a lot for the feedback and pictures! I'm really glad to see that it fits and I'm going to grab this battery as soon as prices drop a bit. Did you have to get it from ebay for the ridiculous shipping cost that was posted earlier in the thread? I tried looking for one on ebay but can't find any. Also is the bump in the bag enough that the glass might crack if too much pressure is applied?

Edit: You were also able to get the wireless charging plate back in the phone, right? Or did it have to be sacrificed because of the additional thickness of the battery?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] rafyvitto:
I got it from work, and no the charging coil is perfectly fine, the glass on this back of the s6 is the strongest of all s6edge/note5/s6edgeplus, but i do strongly recommend a case so it keeps everything tight.

Battery does not overheat, il post SOT and stanby later, gotta test the battery first a few days.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
I can't wait to see the results.:laugh:
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] spkos.kos:
Hey Dude, Really impressed with your swap with the galaxy s7 battery, Do you think there is the potential it would fit perfectly in the s6 edge (7mm thick) due to it being slightly thicker than the normal s6 (6.8mm thick) ? I would love to swap the battery in the s6 edge with the s7 one. Or is the mid frame a different shape or size comparatively? Props dude, Im super impressed with what you accomplished!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
I think that it's possible !

Look at this link both look similar

Hey, how much SOT now mate ? :)

Does Galaxy Edge Plus battery would fit too ?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] rafyvitto:
Sorry i havent been able to reply, ive been working like crazy last few days, sadly ive got bad news =/, the phone isnt recognizing that the battery is 3000mAh, every app says 2550mAH, from what one of my friends told me(electronics engineer) these modern internal batterys have an eprom that has instructions for the kernel telling it how much V they have, how many mAh etc etc, atm i do not know what kernel instruction handles this(waaay out of my area of expertise) not only this but the phone during this last few days has been reading crazy numbers of total battery life 9/8/12/13 when charge 100%, also for some unknown reason its picking up 4060V instead of 3860V or so as it should be with the oem 2550mAh battery(both batterys have the same V rating btw) and also the battery doesn't even last long as the 2550mAh does so this further proves that the kernel simply is going crazy cause of the eprom inside the s7 battery, so guys until someone with high level of linux kernel knowledge is willing to try this is simply not worth it swapping the batterys =/, i apologies if i got peoples hopes up, i was simply experimenting and trying to get more battery life out of our s6, again sorry!

Not possible the s6 edge battery goes behind the MB and then comes at top of it to connect , the flex cable isnt flat as in the normal s6,also the battery connector is in a completely different place, but it doesn't matter as i stated in my last post =/
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] voolandis:
I guss this is a minute of silence for all fallen high hopes.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Yes :(
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ivanthec:
I think the S6 is popular enough that there might be someone that knows how to tweak the kernel. Mind if I post this around? Also I've seen my s6 do the same with the voltage. It fluctuates anywhere from 3.7v to 4.3v. It's at 4.23v right now with 100% with the stock battery.

Also want to sell me the battery? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] BranC85:
As far as I know there has never been a bootloader unlock for our phones which means no kernel editing... Even for those lucky enough to have root(I got my phone after pingpong was patched), you cannot flash a custom kernel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that a bootstrap is used to flash ROMs which runs over the kernel layer.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] rafyvitto:
Certain version of the s6 have the bootloader unlock, like sprint/tmobile and other international version.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Sorry cant sell you the battery mate.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
So we need a kernel to make it possible?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Cantharellus:
Have you reseted the fuelgauge of the phone? Maybe it could help detecting the new capacity.

Use the code *#0228# in the dialer and click "Quick Start".
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] rafyvitto:
Its a kernel incompatibility sadly.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Probably yes.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Can you send a pm to one dev and say to give you a special kernel to change the values :)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] rafyvitto:
My android dev days are long gone mate, last time i did anything on android was on my old tmobile amaze 4g...
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Ahn, but there are some really good devs as Arter eccetera you can ask to him to a "private" kernel to make this 3000 nah battery last longer
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ivanthec:

So in the same way S7 battery should be working too... Why did the first experience didn't succeeded ?

S7 Edge battery is too big so you can't put the back cover back :/
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] matthiasbolda:
S7e battery works flawless. 7+ sot. Glasscover fits but 0.5mm higher... Good 3M tape required.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] matthiasbolda:
The battery still works well but calibration is not perfect. I'm putting a bounty out if somebody can fix a kernel!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ultim:
Is calibration only an issue if s7 edge battery is used in a normal s6?

I've ordered a s7 battery for my s6.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] bay12:
Hi guys, i discovered this thread yesterday and decided to buy an s7 edge battery for my s6 g920F.

In the mean time...regarding the kernel battery calibration problem...i've researched a bit and looking at the SPACEX kernel source code ( which is the one i'm currently using) that might already have the 3660mAh included...so theoretically should work.

this is the kernel thread :

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...cex-kernel-android-6-mm-galaxy-s6-s6-t3315896

and this is the source code link:

https://github.com/ManhIT-CMB/SpaceX-Kernel-Exynos7420/tree/G920F_MM/drivers/power

if you look at the file, line number 120, there's already a 3.6 max capacity.

https://github.com/ManhIT-CMB/Space...lob/G920F_MM/drivers/power/88pm860x_battery.c

As soon i'll receive the battery i will test it and will report back. But in the mean time if any of you wants to try...please give an update.

ps: to install that kernel you have to root
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] matthiasbolda:
I have SpaceX kernel.. Calibration still off

Capacity shows tho after changing a file
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] bay12:
ok thanks for the feedback.

can you explain better which file did you changed?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] matthiasbolda:
Nobody has the knowledge to get this properly addressed?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Any news?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] BranC85:
I have watched this thread closely for a while because my s6 has horrid battery life anymore. The Accu battery app says my current capacity is down to about 2000 mAh, but my phone is on Verizon so without the ability to install a custom kernel like some of you have, I am trying to find a fresh stock battery since even the standard capacity is better than what I am currently at. I did stumble onto this claimed higher capacity battery recently and am considering giving it a try. My question is: has anybody heard of this site and find it to be reputable?? Since I have never heard of it I am hesitant to trust them. Also if the battery actually does have the extra 300mah as they claim, should that still work without the phone requiring a calibrated kernel of some kind?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
You can try.. if it doesn't work you can send it back :) some users said that is good
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
The price is now very low ! So I ordered mine with all the tools needed except the iOpener (I would use my hair dryer instead). Now it cost only 13.90€ !

S7 Edge Battery
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nikit2011:
So how is it going? As i read, you did Change your Original Battery with the s7 Edge One. Could you calibrate it? Does it work now?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
Yeah I've change it yesterday !

I've been using the new S7 Edge battery since 3p.m. and now it's 7a.m and there's still 63%

17h on battery

1h40m Screen on time

1h of Gaming (Dofus Touch)

And wifi always on and a lot of text message and WhatsApp
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nikit2011:
Nice to See, that its working. As i see, youre Not using Stock rom, Are you using Stock kernel then, or energy saving Mode? And last, how much sot could you achieve?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
Did anyone install S7 flat (g930 models) 3000 mAh battery into S6 flat? Does it fit? Can I close the back cover? Should I remove Qi module, or everything fits well? Ant pics how it looks like after assembling?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
I've using Noble Rom Note 7 Port 5.1 with arter Kernel 22 for Note 7 port

No power saving mode used and sync is on

And I'm using brightness to auto and Amoled Cinema as screen mode which is the more battery draining screen mode but I like it this way :)

Now it's 6p.m. my battery is at 18℅ end of my day

It's my first cycle with this new battery so it should improve but :

3h30 SoT

30min of Google Play Music

1h of Dofus Touch

And a lot of text and WhatsApp message

Sync on and wifi or mobile data on depend of if I'm home or at university

The S7 Edge battery (3600mAH) fit the best !

You don't need to remove the Qi module as I didn't remove mine and it's fine. You can close the back cover be sure to put back the screws properly and it'll close fine. I've remove the painting of my back cover during the process and so my back cover is ugly now but I've ordered a new one which should come on Thursday ;)

Hope for both of you that my English was intelligible
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
How did you calibrate the battery? I'm not sure to buy s6 battery or s7 or s7 edge one
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
I've calibrated it once the first time when I charge it to 100℅ and since then I'm using it as usual !

I think you should go for S7 Edge you won't regret it
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Thank you dude! I will buy it

So if you can put the screenshot
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nikit2011:
If you reach 7h sot, please contact me :). Will decide to Change from Edge to flat One then.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] hare89:
Guys i am really interested in this mod but can it be done with stock non rooted device is it possible to calibrate or device stay long at 1% ??

And is it possible that s7e battery fits better than standard s7 ??
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
You can put the s7 edge battery in a s6.

I took s7 flat one but i think of you are rooted you can calibrate better the 3600 mah battery
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] hare89:
But what are my options if i dont root and stay full stock is s7e or s7 battery gonna work??
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
You can stay full stock and use an S7 Edge battery ;)

There's no point in rooting concerning your ability to calibrate.

When you'll put your new battery in be sure to charge it full before booting the device for the battery to settle properly.

When you boot up your phone for the first time, open the dialer and tap *#0228# and reset the fuelgauge.

Use your phone as you've always did

Next time you charge the phone do this again and after 3 cycles you should be good !

Have a nice day and happing modding ;)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
So for 3 cycles i have to charge the phone turned off?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
Yeah and charge the battery full before using it !

This is what I do before using every new phone
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nikit2011:
Do you think you'll get a higher sot with the s6 and s7e Battery in it in comparison to the s7e?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
If you have same phone with different batteries is logic that with 3600 mAh you have more sot than with 3000 mAh..

But some users said they are the same.. little differences..

I have bought s7 Flat one.

Than i will buy the edge one
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] nikit2011:
I meant a comparison between the s6 flat with 3600 mAh s7e Battery and s7 Edge with 3600 mAh Battery also. What i read in s7e Forum was, that people get Most likely between 5 and 6 hours of sot. Thats why i ask, because compononets of s7e are updated and May result in higher Battery drain. But if i get the same sot with updated s6 and s7e, why shouldnt i buy the s7e then? Last question is rhetoric for me..
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
I'm at 50% of battery with 2h30 of SoT so I think that would be between 4 and 5h of SoT on my S6 with S7 Edge battery

My brother with his S7 Edge can achieve most likely 6h if he doesn't play game too much so I think that the S7E components is also more power efficient
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
My battery started to die recently, so it's the right time to decide, which battery fits best.

I wish you posted some pics of your phone after assembling it. This could help me.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
I'm waiting for my new back cover but sure I'll do it

EDIT : [MENTION=1788267]mdcool[/MENTION] here's some pics ! I've juste received my back cover
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
It's 3600mAh battery with Qi module in place, right?

Seems like it did not close completely in the center. But I get the idea.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
here it is
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Darktitor:
Yeah I didn't removed anything Qi module and S7E battery in with a new back cover ;)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] hare89:
So in theory s7e battery could last in s6 around 5-6 hours of SoT?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Okay guys i put the s7 flat battery in my s6!! Soon my screenshots
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Okay guys today i reached 2.40 Sot with 4G and Wifi.. chraged it until 100% and then calibrated thw battery. Hope it improves.. now will see the deep sleep

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] hare89:
It seems good , you can make it past 5+ hours of SoT
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
It's S7 flat battery? Can this mean that there's not too much difference between Edge and Flat?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Depend on your usage.. now i'm 28% and i used my phone 12 hours with 2.45 hours of sot.. this is incredible because one week ago with the older kne i was at 5% or less. At 5 pm (17.00)

I think the edge one gives 1/1.30 hours of sot more than the flat. You can try ti buy the edge one!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
Can you please PM me link where you purchased yours?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] hare89:
If only s6 isnt that complicated to open and swap battery :(
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Not too much
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
Were you able to close the backcover or was the new battery too thick, like with the galaxy 7 edge battery?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
When i put the back cover i said: it's almost invisible.. 0.5 mm more, if you have a cover you won't see it
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] vordhosbnbg:
I've received an OEM S7 Edge battery and will try to mod the back to accommodate the extra large battery.

Any ideas on what can be done - the glass back is pretty hard, but if heated sufficiently would it soften a bit, so it can be molded?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
I put the blade cutter and it works.. than i put some cards to make the job
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] vordhosbnbg:
You mean as in how to open the phone? I am pretty clear on that - my point was on how to mold the back to accommodate the extra battery? I doubt it is even possible but...
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Ah, i think that is very difficult or not possibile
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
I will try to fill the gaps with shapeable plastic or repair gel. But be careful, some of those shrink considerably when cooling off.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
I am actually thinking about using double sided 3M tape (see pic below). It's 1mm thick so it will probably let me assemble the phone with s7 Edge battery inside.

I will post photos when my battery arrives. Stay tuned.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] vordhosbnbg:
I've generally found these kind of sticky tapes to be very ineffective adhesive-wise. Hot glue is a bit trickier, but offers real waterproofing and is much more durable, imo.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] mdcool:
This one is durable as hell. I sticked new logo on my car with it a couple months ago, it is really very sticky.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
Okay, I got my battery today, which - unfortunately - was dead on arrival....

But other than that, I got to try the whole process of opening the phone and replacing the battery. The opening part was surprisingly easy. I used a hair dryer to heat the backside around the edges and pushed a playing card into the gap. Then slowly worked the card around the phone. Next I used a guitar pick to losen the back cover, which was no problem. A little paint on the edges of the cover peeled off however.

Getting the battery out was a little more difficult, but not too hard either.

So after putting the new battery in, I assembled the midframe without the NFC/wireless-charging pad. And even with removing the pad, the battery was too thick for my taste. On the left side, the cover fits okayish, but on the right side, where the battery is located, there's a gap of 0.5 to 1 mm. Closing the gap is possible, but only with pressure on the cover. And that's actually my main concern. Putting pressure on the cover puts pressure on the battery too. Also there is absolutely no air between the cover and the battery.

So I tried a double sided 3M tape, like mdcool suggested, but it was too thick and doesn't look good. In my opinion the SGS7 edge battery is only usable without the backcover and with a case. Pressing the cover against the battery is too risky for my taste. So I wouldn't recommend doing it, except with a case and without the backcover.

EDIT: Okay, so my battery isn't dead after all. I needed to charge it almost 1 hour to show some loading progess. I did some more experimenting and managed to close the back cover a little better. I used thin double sided tape and stacked a few layers. It now looks and feels okay, without too much pressure on the battery. I'll try a few cases and will go without the back cover nonetheless, I think.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
Good i hope for you that battery will be amazing ahaha
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
Okay, so first rundown with the new battery: 5h40min on a 1080p video on youtube over (weak) WiFi. Battery calibration was a bit off at the end (1 percent was showing for nearly 30 minutes) but overall seems to be working. Couldn't get over 4 hours SOT before, so the new battery seems to be working. Curious to see if there will be any further improvements.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chippinganimal:
Could you post a pic or two of the gap of the back panel if possible?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lucoso46:
When you calibrate the battery, it will last longer
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] vordhosbnbg:
Ohhh, come one - when has that proven to be a problem for Samsung phones...

:D /s
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] chalid:
I'll post a few pictures in the next 2-3 days. I broke my backcover when trying to remove the paint ;)
