Hey, I have an old note 3 that I use often. I had this a while ago, and didn't know much about smartphone battery health, etc. I used this really sketchy adapter for my charger (still have he original), and my battery is totally gone. Anybody know where I can order a legitimate battery for it? Thanks.

Hi,
Recently I purchased galaxy s4. Initially I charged my phone with galaxy grands's charger for a couple of days ( As the charger look alike I thought both chargers are same ) . My battery used to drain very fast. However when I discover that s4's charger is high powered..I switched to it. There is a slight improvement in battery backup but I am not receiving the actual backup. What should I do ? Should I calibrate my battery. If so, what is the procedure?
Thanks
Some battery data would help. Numbers, please.

I am those play games a lot. Even though the Samsung Note3’s battery not very shabby, i think there are still some users sometimes out there burn through its battery supply soon like me?.So I searched on google/amazon/ebay, found some OEM battery and another extend battery named MPJ but need pre-order and it seems be shipped out on Oct.16….anyone have advice? Whether I should buy the OEM(cheaper) or MPJ (looks much better /4500mAh and 8500mAh available)?
I bought an oem battery last week for my n3.
Bought third party once for my n1 and they were ****ty
.
I would like to know as well.
I'm coming from Motorola which takes active measures to make non-OEM batteries useless.
Does Samsung do the same?
I was searching for a way to use my note 4 (n910F) at home plugged on the charger with the screen always on without damaging my new battery. So I managed to fit a samsung pocket neo (S5310B) 1,000mah battery on my note 4 case. The phone works pretty well with the charger on. But I'm afraid there can be any consequences to my device, this little old samsung battery probably dont suport fast charging nor it was built to feed the note 4 (much) bigger power drain. Can anybody tell me if is there any chance of something bad happening ? (the battery exploding or something like that.....) What parameter should I be watching ? (I can access the battery voltage and temp) Thank youuuu all in advance.
2 years ago, I managed to use old cheap Nokia battery [800mAh] in my Galaxy W [1500mAh] everything was OK, but I felt it's not a safe way.
Instead, you can use an extended battery like Zerolemon 10,000 mAh which last for 13+ hours Screen on Time and no need to keep your phone in the charger all the time which is dangerous.
I got a brand new battery (Samsung branded, so "original") a month ago. But...it takes 1h40mins to fully charge from 0 to 100%. I remember the S5 took like 2h at the very minimum to charge from 10 to 100% some years ago with its first battery. Did I just get a lemon with twice as small battery capacity (Again, everything looks like the original battery. Says it's Vietnam-Korean and has a manufacturing date as well at the bottom left corner.). I flashed a stock 6.0.1 ROM to see if there was some fast charging option left enabled from the ROM/kernel I am on but it still said it needed around 1h40mins for a full charge from 0 to 100%. Wtf? Help, please
PS: I can get 4h SOT and around 10h total time with watching YouTube via WiFi for 2 hours and the other 2 doing other stuff around the web and other apps. But this charging time bothers me, it was not as fast as it is now.

My batteries for my S5s are starting to go bad but last about 4 - 5 hours with youtube, but I keep my screen as dim as I can get it. Samsung has a page on fake batteries, maybe this might help you:

Guess my battery is an original one according to this. Maybe it's just not manufactured recently? If it's made 2 years ago and has been staying at some storage place it lost its charge? idk

Its possible, depending on where you got it from It could be a used battery. Do you see any type of nicks or scratches on the gold connectors at the top? Do you see any swelling on the battery as well? I got two batteries I use for my S5 and one is starting to swell and will not charge to 100% anymore.

I got it from a normal shop, they don't scam people as my last one was also from there and was fine for the 2 years I had it. And battery is perfect, no swelling, etc. Just weird that it charges for 1 hour lol

Are you plugging the phone to any type of fast charger? My S7's fast charge plug in would charge other non- fast charge phones just slightly faster than a normal charger?
Grasping at straws here lol
You could ask the store to see if you could get another one, if that one is the same it maybe just normal now?
None of the Samsung batteries had a date on the label that I got with a brand new s3, s4, s5, note 2, note 3, and note 4.

This one has Oh well, nothing we can do I guess. It'll be fine for one more year, then Note 9
I bought my galaxy note 4 in Saudi Arabia and It's been 6 years until my phone fast charging has stopped working. I don't have idea how did it stopped working. I've changed different charger together with different cable but nothing happened. A charger with same output and a cable that holds up to 2.1 A. Nothing happened. So I decided to go to service store and they changed my flexy charge kinda thing. And they said It's probably something wrong with the IC on processor or in the machine. My guess was fast charging doesn't work because the USB port has damaged *probably, so by replacing the USB port will work again. I kinda think that they replaced the sparepart with replica or I could say grade AAA and not with the original (which an average store can't provide such a thing). And yeah I go to an average store which I read on Google review with around 300 people giving 5-4 stars.
And yes I did go to Samsung store first and for some reason they can't fix my phone unless I accept my risk that fixing it will make the phone dead. And it cost higher for like over 50 pound. That cost could get me a new phone lol. Probably because I bought from overseas.
I'm frustrated with this issue regarding with normal charge I had to wait for hours just to charge until full battery. And yet while this battery comes with 3000 mAh, it depleted fast like around 6 hours while using productively. I admit this phone was the best at its generation. To be exact, I charge my phone from 0%-20% around an hour. So to go full battery, I must charge for around 6 hours or let it charge for the night.
My question is:
1. How does fast charging works? Is it really the processor that controls current output? Or somehow just change the flexy charge will make it works again?
2. If somehow I can't stand with this phone, which Samsung phone that actually more reliable and great than my galaxy note 4? (I kinda like Samsung A series, it comes with cheaper price with alot advantages but you guys can give me options)
I assume you already checked that. But just in case. You checked settings->battery->fast cable charging ?
Turn off and on...
And with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JYVPLLJ you can check that fast charging works. Should go to higher voltage if it works.
Fast charging can stop working because of the USB cable. I had to change cables a couple of times when fast charging stopped working with them. So I can imagine that USB port can affect it. It is controlled by the processor, which is why some kernels don't have fast charging.
You can replace the USB port on the note 4. It only costs $10 on ebay. But it is not an easy replacement, because you have to separate the screen. I managed to break my screen doing that.
You can also try to buy several replacement batteries for your phone, and an external charger. Then walk around with a replacement battery, and when the battery dies, pop another one in. And charge the old one in the charger. That could also solve your battery problems, because it could be that your battery is old. (and the standard battery on the note 4 is 3220 mAh, not 3000mAh. I saw a video on youtube claiming that fake note 4 came with a 3000 mAh battery)
The best phone to replace the note 4? That's pretty easy to answer - another note 4.
Some people like the note 9 very much. Of course it doesn't have all the features that our note 4 has! The LG V60 also looks nice.
Oh yeah, I also checked the settings and yet nothing happened. Thanks! I'll check that later.
So the fast charging controlled by processor. But is there any possibility by tiny little piece in a processor has damaged and that's why the fast charging has stopped? I did told the service store to change flexy charger as many as possible, but still it's not working. And I told them to replace my usb port on my stock flexy charger, and still it can't do the thing
Sorry I seem misspelled there, my battery comes with 3220 mAh, so my phone is genuine from Samsung.
Thanks for the advice! I somehow found desktop charger that it looks like this, www\amazon\com\Universal-External-Charging-T-Mobile-SmartPhone\dp\B00PC06MJ6 , do you think it will let charge?
