Q. I just received my new Samsung Galaxy S3 phone after claiming it thru my insurance company.
My question is:
Do I have to use my new sealed battery that came with it right away?
Or can I keep it for years to come and when my old battery dies use it?
The new battery won't get ruined if not used right away, correct?
A. Samsung Galaxy S3 battery life
That bigger screen and quad-core processor need a lot more juice and so the bigger bulk is no doubt down to the bigger battery inside the S3 - it's an 2100mAh pack. Due to this, Samsung has also introduced another technology, called Smart Stay - it senses when you're not looking at your phone and dims the display. Clever stuff.With today's battery technology you don't really have to keep it in the fridge. A cool dry place is fine. Also fully charge it once in while. You can also alternate useage.
Hope helping you
Can the battery for a Samsung EPIC be used for a Samsung Galaxy S2?
Q. A few days ago, My Samsung Galaxt EPIC was stolen, so the insurance sent a replacement. However, the replacement phone doesn't even charge! So they sent back a new phone, this time its a Galaxy s2. The messed up part now, is that the battery doesnt even fit into the phone! So im wondering if the battery for the EPIC can be used for the S2?
A. Here is the deal. No, the Epic battery will not fit into any of the Galaxy S2 phones. In fact, there are many Galaxy S2 phones and they take different batteries themselves. To find the correct battery for your phone you need the model in the battery compartment (starts with sgh, sch or sph) or the battery part number that starts with EB.

ps...they sent you a new phone with no battery? Those jerks!!!!!
HELP!! Whats wrong with my Samsung galaxy s2's battery?
Q. Hi and thanx for taking the time to answer my question
I bought a new Galaxy S2 recently and here's what happened
I charged the battery after I came from work and it was fully charged by the time I went to bed, so I disconnected it and went to sleep. But when I woke up this morning it was drained, there were no apps running and the only thing that is different is that I installed the battery Widget that tells the percentage of my battery's life. could that be the problem or is the phone defective? this is the only the second time I charged it since I bought it. Again thanx for taking the time to read/answer
A. The phone could be defective, but you would need to ascertain that first before asking for a replacement or a refund.
Do you ever turn your phone off, or is it always left on? If left on (Like most people I know) try turning it off for a sometime and see if it makes any differences.
Check for the signal strength as well, if it isn't very good it will spend some juice trying to boost it or while searching for it.
Also, go to Menu > Settings > About phone > Battery Use it will give you a % readout of which apps are using the battery. Make sure there is no app draining the battery. What version of the OS are you using? Some older versions are known to cause battery drain issues so an update might help you.
Next up, check to see if its your Wi-Fi that's causing the issue. If you keep the Wi-Fi ON at all times, turn it off and check to see if it improves the battery life. If it does, here's what you should try:
1. Go to Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Tap the menu key and then Advanced -> Wi-Fi Sleep Policy. Select Never. (This is counter intuitive, but I will explain the reason for this below.)
2. Download a 3rd party battery manager that can control WiFi. I am using Battery Defender, which is free. Juice Defender Plus and Ultimate should also work. (I don't think that the free version of Juice Defender controls WiFi.) If the market tells you that Juice Defender is not compatible with your device, I think it is because your provider doesn't want you to use it. You can probably side load it, or pop out your SIM card and download it over a WiFi connection.
3. Set up the battery manager of your choice to control your WiFi connection by turning it off when the screen is off. Battery Defender is a bit of a blunt instrument in the sense that when your screen is off, WiFi is off. Juice Defender is a little more sophisticated because it turns WiFi on periodically (every 15 minutes) and allows background applications to connect briefly. If you rely on push e-mail and/or social network updates, you will probably prefer Juice Defender.
That should fix it for you.
And finally, you MIGHT be able to squeeze a bit more juice out by playing with your sync and display settings, so experiment a bit with those settings as well.
And if all that don;t work, do a soft reset and if that doesn't help either, time to get a replacement!
