Why do they do this? - Epic 4G General

Ok we live in an age where our phones can pretty much do anything we need on a fly but for the life of me I just don't understand why they come with only a 1500 battery. Is there a reason why they can't give us a 3000 battery or better and still have the same phycial size of a 1500 battery.

Because the aliens have not granted us access to a high enough level of technology to allow it.
The battery in your phone is an incredible piece of technology. Let me tell you about my Zach Morris phone from 1987...

Yes, that is the Verizon Thunderbolt with the stock extended battery.

Why doesn't my car get 300miles to the gallon?!

Basically, it's physics and safety. A LiPo battery would provide more storage, however they can explode when damaged or old. Youtube showcases quite a few examples. Personally, I think Apple is crazy for using them in the iPhone 4. I'm sure they have taken reasonable precautions, but I can't help imagining the thing going off in some poor man's pants!

Yea, I dont understand why they cant just create a battery that isn't EXACTLY rectangular, so that it could conform to the entire back of a phone.. Battery life would be gigantic.

Take our phone for example. If the stock battery was 2mm thicker, it would create a cavity just above where the battery sticks out from where it could extend into right up until the camera lens.
Battery would look like this:

Want that. For example, with the extended battery I have, it could literally be at least double the capacity it is now without needing a new back cover, if it really filled up every mm of the back cover.

There are prevailing techs to increase battery life if you read Engadget...but they are still in test phase..but I will say this...the EVO/TP2 battery is practically 1.5x-2x the size of our battery..so I dont at least see why they can't put a 2250mah-3000mah battery thats the size of the TP2 battery..but I guess its because we are all (or at least majority) so obsessed with thinness...
What they can also make is a back cover thats a battery >.>..I mean there is no rule that it has to be square...if they do that they can easily fit 3000-4000mah without sacrificing too much depth...

Not to mention there is the weight such a large battery would add, I know I am not the only person who doesn't want a phone that weighs half a pound or more.

the only real problem with the lipos that i have seen with my radio control cars is that you cant let them go dead or they will not charge again, and thats about it. I know theres more to it than JUST that, like they can explode somehow but thats what i have experienced.

People don't seem to mind the weight of the Evo which is noticeably heavier than our Epics. I wouldn't mind the weight if it DOUBLED my battery life.

Thats a 10% boost in power. Not that bad if it works. Wonder how much the OEM 1650's will sell for. If its more than like 15 dollars, which it will be, then I prob wont buy one.

Well cant go into details really but Someone I know was returning the phone(gs4g) , got it a day earlier so I did a switcharoo with the batteries. The batteries are identical in size the only way to tell it is a different one is the extra 150mAh.
I am seeing a noticeable boost in battery life, I can now keep 4g on all day and use the apps pretty heavily without worrying about the battery level. It does take a bit longer to charge the battery fully, but I'll trade that for more phone time any day.
I have the sedio 3300mah battery, don't mind the size but it takes forever to recharge. I got the samsung charger, and fr me its better to just swap battery's.
After reading the I'm try to pick up the 1650mah battery. Thanks for the heads up

It will increase stock battery life by about 10% while being able to use the same back. The 3500mah battery is really only like 2400-2600mah while the 1650 mah battery will really be like 1600mah. To people who dont want a fatter phone or who use the docks, it would be a good deal if the 1650mah was pretty cheap. To people like me who have the "3500mah" battery, doesn't make much sense unless its REAAAAL cheap.

Despite it not being quadcore doesn't the snapdragon s4 still beat out the tegra 3?
Either way it's going to be a tough choice when my upgrade comes around. The verge review of The One X said the display was the best they'd ever seen. Since they usually lean towards the iPhone in every phone comparison I'll take that as the phone is nearly flawless.
Galaxy SIII is going to have to be pretty awesome to trump this imo.

Expandable memory yes, removable battery no. The battery, however, still packs a 2000 mAh battery; it should easily get you through the day (considering the One X has an 1800 mAh battery, and it gets through the day easily).

1. Batteries wear out over time, may want to replace it if you plan on keeping the phone for a long time.
2. You're going to be out all day and can carry a spare and not worry about micromanaging your battery life all day. (I've got 3 for the Epic)
3. You can use a better battery of the same form factor if one becomes available, like all the OG Epic users with the 1800mAh from the touch.

Yeah I get that. I think it's a nice feature to have but I won't take a phone I like less just because I can remove the battery.
No brand loyalty for me! I will consider this phone as one of my upgrade options that I have been sitting on. I like the specs and looks.
Are you guys crazy? They took a truly amazing phone design (one x) and butchered it to all hell. Now it looks just like the other evo phones (i. E. Dated). Yes the guts are awesome but half of what made the phone so nice was the physical design. So sad. Why can't sprint leave things alone when it comes to these matters. We don't have to look any further than our own phones to get another example of completely changing an already great phone.

The dev is true but having both an iPhone4 and Nexus S in the house (And galaxy tab 8.9, iPad 2, HTC Sensation and One X) I can be pretty certain that you can use the iPhone a LOT more than the Nexus between charges.
The Nexus got massive improvements with 4.x though, that must be said.
Hey, am I the only one who saw the "iPhone has been plugged in since the last full charge" message??
Doesn't this invalidate the comparation?
You can hate on apple all you want people but stop with the fanboy nonsense.
It is a fact that the iPhone/ios gets far better battery life then nexus s/ android period. No if ands or butts about it.

And don't forget about set up . As I learned from skunkape and john Corleone from the 4g thread , set up goes a long way. These guys get close to a day and sometimes more with 4-6 hours screen on time. I get 13-18 hours with a little less screen on time. Many screen shots were provided to reflect this . To me , none of the phones are bad . Its all in what you like.

Hyperion 4000 mah Mini review!

Hey everyone,
i've been rocking this.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...ywords=hyperion+samsung+galaxy+s+III+4000+mah
for about 4-5 days now.. ordered it off Amazon for a STUPID cheap price.. and i must say.. wow. 5/5
I normally like Mugen better, and i'm going to get a mugen battery whenever they make one..but this a GREAT replacement for the time being..
i have a PEBBLE BLUE T-Mobile galaxy S III as well.. and the White back actually looks really nice MIXED with the blue!
Also i love the FEEL of the back.. i actually like it better then the Stock GS3 itself.. it adds more weight and SOLID feel to the overall product and i LOVE IT! it's better then a stock GS3 by far.. actually feels like it's own new phone.
The battery life? definitely top notch.. i get by 3 days sometimes with heavy usage, texts, FB.. Sync turned on GPS.. all of it.
Highly recommend this... :good::good:
.......me want...IF there was a case, take some pics please? C:

The only problem with carrying it as a spare is you also need to carry the battery cover. But if you were to order two of them..... use one as your main battery and carry the second one as a spare and you don't need to carry an extra battery cover.
BTW, anyone know how it might compare to this one? It looks pretty much the same but comes with a charger. http://www.amazon.com/4300mAh-Exten...external/dp/B008ARDVM4/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_b

I did not get this one because i don't even see a brand name listed,
Hyperion is a brandname i can at least recognize
I ordered this as well and after a 1 foot fall off my bed onto carpet the rigid plastic battery cover broke a corner off. IMO the back is not as good quality as may be advertised here. YMMV. I'm using the stock battery and an otterbox now for the protection.

Well i can't vouch for dropping it.
in all the years of owning a smartphone every single iphone model, several android models i've never done any brutal drops to my phones. ever
**the other thing is... it's 15$.. i mean crap.. you can't even beat that as a BACK replacement.. take the battery out of the equation most BACKS would probably cost 20$ if found in the mall..
So 15$ its a steal. buy 2 if you need to.
is there a 3000 mah that doesnt require a new back?

I don't think so.
Do you know if Wallet still works with this one? I read the NFC antenna is part of the battery

From my understanding is only the OE battery supports any NFC function.

No problem
Tiny battery (1300 ma).. And it almost seems fake. Although the phone seems real.

Typo or a knock off would be my guess.

Those light sensor FF camera holes are suspect. I imagine this phone is just one of those non working hollow devices you find at cell phone stores to give people a preview of what the devices look and feel like.

Lol, the battery isn't even in the phone. Check your depth perception.
Look at the battery prongs. Right above the Samsung logo. they are sticking out, meaning NO BATTERY!
Edit: See here is the battery in the phone - Notice the difference?

See here is the battery showing 3100. Guess you guys didn't look at the pics, lol.

Um, yes they do. Take your battery cover off your N7000 and look. I've taken apart my n7000 a few times now and every time was with a phillips screw driver.

Wtf? No that's the input voltage to charge the battery. Haven't you guys ever played with a custom kernel with support to change the mAh when charging the battery?
What's the fascination with the battery?
Battery in my note atm is 3250mAh.
It's the same size and thickness as stock battery. Why are you all fascinated with a mocked up image of one with a 3100mAh battery? Or have I missed something?

To be honest I really don't know. Battery has never been a problem for me as I have the high mAh battery (3 of them!) and a dock at work and dock at home which can charged the phone as well as a spare battery. My phone sits in the dock at work pretty much all day so when I leave it's fully charged and that's plenty for very heavy use all evening. Once I go to bed it's back in the dock overnight. I never have to worry about low battery and even if I'm out all night or forget to put the phone in the dock I always have spares that are fully charged. For anyone who really cares about battery I'd just recommend getting a couple of high mAh batteries and docks and battery life will never be an issue again.

My bad homey, I guess it threw me off as I haven't had a phone that charged at over 1000 ma before.
PS- are you from the bay area by chance? Antioch is a town out here, it's where my current office is.

1300ma ≠ 1300 mAH
