I bought an 1800 mAh battery and was wondering about swapping between the 1500 and 1800 as needed -- will this mess with the battery stats?
No. Percentage is based on voltage.

Just so that you don't second guess kennyglass123, I second this. I swap between the stock 1500, two 1800s, and one 3500 all the time and have no problems.
Thanks for the info. What does wiping battery stats do then? Is that specific to the rom rather than battery?
Not a heckofa lot. It actually has little to do with battery calibration. Your battery goes from 4.2v which is 100% to 3.7v which is basically 0%.

It's supposed to do that.
It doesn't charge up to 100% to preserve the battery's health, it's designed this way.
If you really want it up to 100%, you can always bump charge it.

Also to note. Bump charging can cause problems, so read that to decide whether or not you want to do it.
Oh ok thanks..so just leave it at is? It bugs me but I can live with it lol

I've had it for months. You will see the difference. It was stronger for the first week or 2 then lost some of its hold time but blows away my stock epic. I just ordered the anker 1800 from amazon for 11.99. Ill see how that one compares

I think the OEM might hold it's life longer than Anker, I also have one and I enjoy having the small boost in battery life

Guess I'm the lucky one. My local Sprint store rep just handed me one and said, "Here ya go! Let me know how it works for ya!"
So far, battery life is MUCH better on CM9/AOKP vs. stock battery.

You can get 2 1800mah batteries on eBay for $12 and free shipping.
Also I've heard talk of a compatible 3500mah battery on Amazon (?). Going to check that out today.

Those are not genuine oem batteries. They are Hong Kong knock offs.

I want to verify that we are talking about using a battery designed for an Epic touch in and Epic slider. I have an SPH D700 that I need the best battery I can find without the backside footprint of the phone changing. Otherwise I wont be able to dock in my car anymore
I use the mp3 feature of my phone, all day, every day (podcasts and audible). Within weeks of a new battery (stock) I barely make it til 2pm before having to charge. If I can't find a battery that can carry the load I'm going to just have two and a drop in charger, switching them out during my usually 10 hour long work days.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Yes the Epic Touch Galaxy S2 1800 mAh battery fits perfectly and gives you 20% more battery life.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
so the battery life is better i bought one and had overheating issues and never went back
As I was putting my S3 on charge last night for the first time I noticed that the output of the new charger is 1A as opposed to .7A on the charger for the S2.
As the S2 had theoretically two charging modes, 450 &650mA (depending if it was enabled in the kernel..eg Siyah), I was wondering if any of the tech guru's out there would know what charging rates does the S3 accept (if kernel enabled of course) ?
I'm guessing this would have to be done with an ammeter but if anyone has any theories feel free to post here.

Hopefully GM of SiyahKernel fame will have an answer and tweak for us in no time in his upcoming kernel. I'm sure it'll be in his to do list somewhere.
Edit: First charge 4-100% in 3 hours.

1st charge got 4328mV.
Expect it to be a little more after a few full uninterrupted charge cycles.
Suppose I could do the maths and calculate an approx charge rate, but will need a true min. for that. Brain's a little tied right now though

ah , 4328mv ! im getting something closer to it, will get better with some more battery cycles.

Is any kind of battery training required for the new s4
And how to do so if yes
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
Nope just use it. I like to wait till it's below 15% to charge it and always leave it charging till its full.
The main thing is not to let it discharge completely.

why would you need to swap the battery? it lasts me 2-3 days of use
I dont use wifi at all. So heavy use drains battery rather quickly. I dont like wall changers either.

Haven't used wifi on this phone due to T-Mobile's 40mbps LTE, It's literally impossible to blow through the whole battery in a day unless the screen is on for 12 hours. Generally it's around 60% battery when I go to bed after being off the charger for 14ish hours after a heavy use day.
Its worth acquiring the Korean model. F320K. It comes with 2 x 2600 mAh batteries and a docking station that allows the batter which is not in the phone to charge independently. It also has a microSD slot supoorting up to 64GB!

What networks can it run on?
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g2-5543.php and all versions of the phone have all these bands I believe, the Korean versions have LTE A as a bonus.
