Smart phone battery`s

Can anyone recommend a seller of replacement smartphone batteries?
The standard battery in my samsung galaxy y does not cut it and i have seen a lot of higher capacity ones knocking about but many seem to be cheap knock offs that last even less time.

Hmm, first, are you using any kind of power management app/software? I've had good success with some of those in a Galaxy S2 more than doubling battery life (1 day to 2++ days without charging)

err no , only had the phone about 5 days , got as far as setting the ring tone and getting an off lien map app.

Ok, so as you've probably expected, try one or more of those first and see how you get on. I've had good success with GO Power Manager and Easy Battery Save (two of the top 3 results looking for 'power saver' in the Play Store). Of the two, Easy Battery was the first I tried and I loved it until it started to make the whole phone crash randomly after I installed any firmware updates. Not had any problems with GO Power so far, except that it tends to override what I'm doing if it feels it needs to start conserving power.

Two days without charging! I'm looking at replacing my battery because its down to five days between charges.

If you read the reviews they say it does not last as long as the originals.

You don't want an S3 if you worry about battery life

Wellll, 2++ (currently reading 90% capacity and estimating 51h remaining). It's an S2, it sits on WiFi most of the time, plus we live remotely so it may be spending its time vainly trying to pick up a mobile signal. Stock, with the onboard power management turned on, this phone would need charging pretty much daily under these conditions and use so three-ish days is plenty.

Just check and see if the phone is syncing email\facebook\chat\twitter\google location services or any of that jazz. Mine would use 40% charge in half a day without even looking at it. Since working out what it was doing it'll last 2 days easily.

look in Settings \ Battery to see what is eating your charge and then sort it out. :-) It took me nearly a week to nail down everything that was eating battery and I'm supposed to know what I am doing :-)

Try going to manual instead of automatic, for network search.
Might help extend the life a bit.

So......
No one can recommend a battery supplier ?

I started a similar thread last month.

I didn't get a replacement battery in the end as my phone started behaving again and is back to running 2-3 days without falling below 50%. Even having a replacement phone (like for like-ish following physical damage) the battery is still good.

I blame Orange changing to EE and putting transmission demands on my phone as the battery first started draining quickly when they changed.

You just don't know what you are getting. This is the down side of smartphones - you need to charge every day ! Mine's sat on charge now !
