[Note 7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mr.Ultimate:
Alright people... some news as promised.

Got my S7 battery, in a real great condition as expected but... my bad, I have measured it all wrong from online sources with provided specs as per measurements of each unit.... feel a little like over-motivated idiot, but it was fun :D

I have gotten the very first revision note7 that was actually produced at the end of June 2016 as all markers indicate inside of the phone, and I believe it may have had this problematic battery issue pending to happen, Im 99.99% certain about that. The way its original battery was installed in it, and I repeat myself here, it was almost new note7 with all seals on it but still it was used/tested slightly, so... the original battery was literally squished inside with ZERO gap on the sides of the battery and just 0.1-0.3 mm max at the bottom and at the top of the battery, very very tight fitment, besides all that - it was glued in with adhesive and heating it up did not help much if anything at all in aid to remove it safe and in one solid piece. I have tried my very best, spent over half hour trying to pry ultra-thin neodymium-steel wire string (* that type of wire is used for cutting digitizer-lcd glue layers apart during special screen repairs) its real strong and solid super thin wire string and has proven hundred times when removing complicated way fitted batteries that did not help me to remove it as expected, such as iphone lg motorola and others, so guess what, after about 30 minutes of struggling and paper card prying pushing down the wire I eventually got to the bottom of the battery bay chassis, managed to navigate wire around the bottom of the battery edges corners and begin cutting the adhesive by slightly pulling the wire down(up direction of the phone as I had phone upside down), which turned out to be real heavy duty adhesive there and heating up the screen did not help either, I managed to cut the protective bottom layer of the battery and proceeded until wire seized few cm in and stopped and .... well ... no it did not get on fire, despite every rounded battery corners (I mean all of them), something you would get if you take perfect square of play-doh brick and drop it on its each edge corner, however, from that point on when I began smelling lithium evaporating, I had an epiphany that this may be the last time I have this beauty of a note7 in an un-burned condition, did not want to witness the fire on my desk first hand, seen enough on youtube and likes and I may be well running out of time at that moment haha so I grabbed my plastic prying tools and hard cards and forked that freak of a battery out of the chassis with force in a few more seconds, boy I gotta admit, that adhesive was bit** to get trough!!!... took some quick photos of the battery, unsealed battery charging PCB, unfolded it and slowly gently cut it away trough its aluminum terminals with paper-cutting blade from the main battery cell, and then wrapped it tight in to multiple layers of tin foil (sealing positive/negative terminals first of course) and dropped it off to battery recycling center nearby with a warning to the lady at the desk that the battery inside was leaking and very potential fire hazard, so that was that.

Next, all worries aside I have this beautiful note7, with firmware that needed patching because software was bricked by last samsung death update, and so it happened I had battery that fit just great, almost like was made for it :D

Guess what, yes it is apple iphone6 1810mah battery, it was very old and very high mileage battery that was to be thrown in to recycling a while back but for some unknown reason I still had it laying around. Last time I checked this battery was so bad it would show 70-80% and would power off the phone, however , before I removed it from that iphone and stored I had it fully charged so this gave me headroom for working of this project ;)

the battery bay width in note7 is no more than 37mm, and while I still have about 5mm space left at the bottom of the battery which is great, this battery is so so slim it only occupies half the height of the battery bay dock, so theory goes - if I had two of this same battery in new condition and original apple battery, sandwiched two of them together soldered in parallel would yeld 3620mAh capacity while still fitting well inside :D so after all it all doesnt sound so bad does it?

I think I will look in to this now as I did some more research and that's the only reputable battery that I would trust which fits so perfect so far.

with this trashy condition battery I was able to charge it via standard charge rather quickly, it took about 1-1.5hour to have it recharge to full after discharge, 1080p youtube video stream video drained battery from 100 to somewhat 80% before it powered off the phone and recharging indicated 0% at the beginning... so although the phone still reports 3500mah samsung battery installed, its all because of note7 original battery chip present soldered on the apple iphone6 battery.

Otherwise it charged well trough normal charging, and charged even faster with quick charge! besides, battery remained cold the entire time when it was charging up after draining it either normal or fast charging methods, which seems very very good and promising to me!

I will have to gather few more batteries during the week to play around do more tests.

You guys tell me what do you think!
