Replacing the S6 Battery with S7 Edge Battery

[danio3334]

Is it possible connect s7 edge battery in to s7 g930?? Please help!

 

[Bamofo666]

Does anyone have a good source for quality s7e batteries? I have tried a Chinese battery with poor results (2445 of 3600 after 4 cycles). I'm currently awaiting a Chinese 4200mah to try, but I'd really like a quality Samsung battery that reaches at least close to it's rated mah. I see lots of them on eBay, but they all seem to be pulled from overstock phones. They all seem to be a couple of years old as well.
EDIT: Got the 4200 and it was thicker than the s7e battery and only charged to 82% then quit.
I also got a stock s7e battery pulled from an overstock phone (2 years old) for less than $5.00 delivered. On the second charge it reached 3459 of 3600. The winner is clear but I'm still interested in an aftermarket battery that holds it's rated capacity.

If you live in an European Union country the official Samsung parts distributor : S7 Edge battery for EU

If you live in the US : S7 Edge battery for US

can anyone confirm or deny that you need to root for this to be effective?

from what im reading, you need to install the kernel and for that, you need to be rooted?

samsung pay is absolutely vital for me so i cant root/remove the nfc

S7 edge battery vs normal s7

Is it possible to insert a Samsung S7 edge battery into a normal S7?
Will it be compatible?

I don't think. I just looked at the specs for both batteries. They're almost the same but the s7 edge battery is a bit longer

Dimensions
S7 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm
S7 edge 150.9 x 72.6 x 7.7 mm

I have S6 with 2550mA battery. Will a S7 Edge battery fit? Do I have to calibrate something or erase phone and start with new battery.

S7 battery(3000mah) will 100% fit.
But i am interesting to know about calibration or If i need to do something after intalling the battery?

 

[Bamofo666]

It will calibrate itself in a couple of cycles. Fully charge and discharge a few times and its good to go.

Hello, newbie here.
Will fit the battery from s7e inside s8?

 

[roben97]

You can check out to do so. It is not that hard, although I scratched tha paint from the inside when removing the back - its only cosmetic and not really noticable. If you have the proper tools its not such a big deal - the S7 Edge battery is almost the same size as the original S6 one. Still day 1 with the new battery, but so far it has been 9 hours and barely 25 percent drain. After some charge/discharge cycles it will probably improve even more.
Especially since my original battery had significantly degraded, the difference is night and day.

Why i cant access to your blog?
can you please post it again

Working Process

I have an SM-G920F - with the patch it thinks i have a SM-G925F (An Edge)

This is what I did, I have 5 hours plus of SOT atm.

Buy this:
http://www.batteryupgrade.co.uk/sho...hType=searchByshopGroup#/shopGroupId/99467474
Battery is thin, and doesnt bulge, its also not just a **** battery taken out of a broken Galaxy S7.

You need this:
http://www.batteryupgrade.co.uk/sho...rtmentProductId/92404846/shopGroupId/78168083
and hair dryer.

Follow this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfV4CK6KIek

After reassembly:

Download and install Odin and Samsung USB drivers onto PC.

Flash TWRP 3.2 via Odin
Reboot into TWRP via "Recovery": Cold Boot: Hold, Volume up Home and then Power.
Full clean wipe, including System in TWRP.
Copy via USB the 4 files below:
Flash OdexLite and OdexLite Aroma:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rom-odexlite-rom-920f-920i-925f-925i-t3550706
Flash this battery patch:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/flashable-zip-s7-edge-battery-patch-t3744726
Flash SuperSU *** Battery Patch will boot loop you without Root, Not mentioned in OP of battery patch.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703


Reboot, Setup, Put on GSam Battery, Drained 3-4 times so far, looking noice.
I expect average SOT at 5 hours plus.
Ive done this process twice, as I wasnt happy without a completely empty system first time.

i've just done this mod to my used s6 since it needed a battery change anyway, i've managed to get a whole day of use without charging (was also using it a bit last night). the S7e battery does bulge about >1mm but it still fits fine in it's case so it doesn't bother me.

 

[assyriska]

is it necessary to follow @S6lover steps (don't want to do a full wipe) or can we just replace the battery.

You don't have to full wipe, but you need root to delete the batterystats.bin to allow for proper recalibration. I also included battery files from the system and efs folders of the Galaxy S7 edge. Like batterystats.bin they are rewritten but are necessary to ensure fast, accurate calibration.

but you need to delete the batterystats.bin to allow for proper recalibration.

Yes, you should wipe it, as Android makes background decisions based on the stored battery stats. Battery "calibration" is much more complicated than one file. There are files in /system/, /sys/, and efs related to it.

There is even a battery calibration watchdog in the /sys/ folder that will revert all battery statistics if the kernel goes into a panic mode. I have root on the SM-G920A, which has a locked bootloader, and managed to panic the kernel while trying to change these values in /sys/. The result was the phone wouldn't boot until I put in a 2550 mAh battery. How does it know the 3600 mAh battery isn't the right battery? It's something I'm curious about, but I have other priorities to focus on.

I was so happy to read and confirm that s7e battery fits in my S6 i now I have it but still not getting that much battery, I don't know what am I doing wrong, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm in a stock nougat 7.0 firmware, I already tried root calibration methods, please?

 

[iamkani]

so for S6 which battery is best?
S7 battery or S7edge battery?
some said S7edge battery doesn't OK because s6 back cover not sealing well..
is it true?

I think S7 battery is good for s6 as it fits perfectly in the frame and you don't need to force the back glass to fit properly

So is it working fine now?
What are battery stats ?
Is it giving you the desired SOT?
Did you use any kernel?

i am also already installed s7 edge battery in my s6 flat g920s , but battery isnt much different from the original battery ,only slightly improve .
