Hi.
I bought a 6200mAh battery for my s4 for 3-4 years ago. I bought a S6 edge in 2016, and I put my s4 in the drawer for a long time.
I took it 1 week ago, but didn't want to charge with the 6200 mAh battery, because "this is not not original samsung battery".
How can i charge my battery?
(TWRP; original kernel; Albe95 ROM & modem)
So, If I understood you correctly, that battery is totally dead?
If that's the case. You have to boost your battery first to give her initial power so the phone can recognize your battery.

Need to share this, I posted this under T-Mobile but it should be under GT-I9050
My Galaxy S4 (GT-I9050) is turning itself off randomly, the battery indicator show it is more than 70% full. I did all sorts of factory resets and changed different ROMs, I even reverted to stock ROM but it still happened.
I noticed that it never turns off while it is connected to a power supply, which indicated a battery issue.
I checked on the net and some reported battery problems with S4 – bulging - due to keeping it charging overtime. My battery appeared OK until I compared it to a new one; it is notably swollen / bulged so I think I need to change it – it only 4 months old.
I owned many phones over the years and most of the time I keep it charging overnight without a problem, my understanding is that phones stop charging when the battery is full; does the S4 continuously charge?
I had the same issue. I just got mine back from the shop 2 days ago with a new battery and the latest firmware. The batteries are managed, there is no such thing as overcharging anymore. We were just unlucky to have a crappy battery. Mine died after a mere 2 months...
Update:
I replaced my battery with a new one and it is working fine, it is actually lasting almost 2 days.
It is interesting that the shop were I purchased the batter told me that they noticed higher demand for S4 batteries as they are failing more than any other phone.
Not sure of this is related to issues with the batteries or the charging software of the phone.
Hello there !
Recently I've changed battery (previous battery's condition was terrible) on my Nexus 4, according to guy who sold me battery it's original (it look the same like the old one). Sadly after changing it my phone is acting weird. For example I charged it to 100% , I unpluged my charger and in few second it changed from 100 % to ~70 %. Then it was behaving OK, according to battery options my Nexus had enough battery to live for next 3 days ,after 1 or 2 days battery died. Few minutes earlier i charged it (LED diode was green , phone was turned off) ,updated my CM via recovery and after turning on it had only 59 % battery. Currently I'm using my Nexus without SIM card.
Is it phone issue or I should just contact with the guy who sold be this battery and ask for refund/new one ?
That is weird about the battery. How much was the battery? I think oem batteries are around $25?
Yep, 20-25$
In this case, I would ask for a replacement.
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.
Hey there,
I have a question to which I maybe know the answer but anyway... Today I used my phone as I would normally and got 3 hours screen-on time and 5-6 of total time since unplugged (also restarted the device once). So I decided to go into android's default battery screen in settings to see which apps may be causing some drain. While there I decided to open up each individual screen and calculate how much mAh in total has been used during this time. Phone was at 5% when I did this so I was expecting the total mAh sum of everything shown in the stats to be around 2600-2700mAh. To my surprise, the sum was 1084mAh The battery is 2800mAh and it said that the total power usage today was 1084mAh (almost 3 times lesser than the battery capacity!) and the phone was almost dead at 5%. Is it time to buy a new battery? Share your experience please. Btw if I get 3h SOT with 1084mAh in total (according to these stats) then I'd get 7-8h SOT with a brand new battery? Maybe I've forgotten how long the S5 can actually last with a brand new battery or maybe I'm doing it wrong, help with some info please
PS: Charger connects are more than 2200 according to the Phone Info app.
It also says that it needs 1 hour to charge the phone from 1% to 100%. That's not normal right? I forgot what a brand new battery feels like...help. Today got 9h total time and 3h sot.

The sign of a significantly worn battery is when it charges far to fast.
The standard charger provides 2A. The battery is 2.8Ah. Therefore to charge it (2.8/2), it should take about 1 hours 30 minutes if the phone is turned off and if the charger outputs a continuous 2A, which it doesn't.

It still charges for 2-2.5 hours, it only says that it needs 1 hour. It goes up to 85-90% during the first hour and then from that to 100% in the next 1-1.5 hours. Still, looks like I'll just get a new one very soon. At least I can swap it and it's cheap.
Actually, it's time for a new device!
Hi
If you have been using your S5 since 2014 then it's time for a new device not a new battery. A new battery won't make any difference because there's no battery replaces the original one (the one that comes with the device). What you see on the market advertised as genuine Samsung batteries are all fake/replicas with no exception. Samsung does *not* manufacture genuine batteries for sale separately. It's a simple marketing strategy, Samsung wants you to buy a new device every 4 years, these 4 years are the life of the battery (not the device). If Samsung sold the genuine battery separately then few people will buy a new device sooner, and most of them will only replace the battery every 4 years and continue using the device for next 4 years, that's so bad for Samsung.
So my advice is: Hurry up, sell you device sooner before its battery gets worse.
Hope that helps

We both are in the same boat my friend. But remember, once the 4 years pass, every day you keep your device is a nail in its coffin.
I have this Samsung Galaxy A 7" 2016 SM-T285 for about 3 years now but suddenly the battery charges slowly and now, the battery percentage was 57% but when I plugged it in to the official charger it went to 99% in less than a minute. Could this be a battery problem? or a sensor of the battery problem? I don't game on this thing, I used it lightly. Does anyone have any experience on their tab or just other samsung phones about their batteries?
