OEM battery available through t-mobile tech support!?

---

i see that there's a thread for the oem charger kit, but not for the battery itself. so anyway, i just called tmo tech support and told them that i have been having very inconsistent battery life. say today i unplugged after reaching 100%, then 6-7hrs later after waking up-i only have 69% left. it's been happening every other day now, and i purposely exit all active apps and clear the ram before unplugging, but still the same problem.

anyway, tmo is sending me a new battery for the sgs2 for free because i am still under the 90 battery warranty period. i do have to pay $11.99 for ups express shipping though, $7.99 for usps. AND i get to keep the current battery as well, so not bad for $11.99 and a new battery.

also, i'm on 2.3.6, rooted with some bloats removed/freezed, stock rom, with juice defender running, email sync is only at 4hrs. anybody have any idea on why my phone is acting like this? i know i'm not the only one with the problem, but any tips or comments are welcome. TIA.

i've checked tmo's website, but couldn't find the battery for sale, so this is fyi only.

Tmo does this when you call about the battery for just about every phone they sell. They're pretty good about sending of replacements.

will they do it if i bought the phone from sam's club? i want a spare oem battery. found a guy selling on ebay for $22 but don't know if it's legit. he sold like 50 already.

I pulled the trigger and bought this:

That is exactly what I ordered. I have that same brand for my G2. It’s STILL working fine for over a year now. The charging holder is very convenient.

Cool, Thanks. I never had to do this and I bought a galaxy s2 yesterday and I called tmo to get the battery, and they are shipping me a new one. But I couldnt get it overnight, but I'm only getting charged $5. I was about to buy an OEM one for $50 at a store in NYC... Nice...

how long does it take to receive the battery from tmobile? they told me like a week... they said there was no way to expedite it out to me....

i hope i get mine by tuesday

So is the GTMax just as good as the OEM batt? The GTMax is so much cheaper than the OEM.
