Yes he's right, I have 2 knockoff 3500's and 2 seidio 3500's...tbh I really can't tell the difference between the 4. But for me to give you my honest word, I would say get a seidio...
Ill take a look at it. Thanks everyone for your replies. Gonna most likely order one tonight. Any chance you guys know if seidio makes one with the white back? And already running the exact kernal you specified lol.
EDIT: OK so is the knock off worth 10 dollars? Meaning will it last longer than stock, I did not realize that the seidio was so expensive.

I don't think its worth 60 bucks, its pretty much the same as the 16 dollar Amazon batteries with the cover why spend 60 bucks on that junk.

Just cause its branded by sprint doesn't make it better than the Chinese one lol. I can assure the "sprint" branded battery was probably made in China as well lol. The branded one can fail just like the Chinese battery, only thing better about the "sprint" branded one is that you can walk back in the store to get your money back vs having to ship it back.

Let me throw in my two cents... I use work at radioshack when I was three a dumb phone battery standard ran over 70 bucks however cost was less then a buck no joke. Name means nothing only thing maybe less hassle. However batteries are explosive in nature it happens with or without name brands

I figure if I get the 20 dollar one and it does what I need it to do I'm fine and if it stops working or something I'm only out 20 bucks. At some point I might buy the 60 dollar one, but ill give the cheap one a shot.

If you're going to buy what is still one of the top of the line phones out there why are you going to go cheap on the battery? They're all a rip off anyways, mine as well get an oem one so you can get it replaced for free if it goes bad. Just don't overcharge it or you mine as well just get the cheap one.
in my opinion the yoobao 3000mah is the best extended battery and I've tried them all.

I wouldn't be surprised if they all came from the same factory, I used to work at Dart Container (styrofoam cup factory) and we made the same cups with several brand names on them.
I tried searching, honest, but couldn't find anything to help with this. Any places online to buy the 2000mah battery for the i9100? It's the Canadian Virgin Mobile model specifically. A buddy asked me to help him with this, any help is appreciated.

They're getting rarer and rarer... The Galaxy S2 by Virgin is the same as the international one.
You might wanna buy an Anker battery too, cheaper, same size as the stock battery.
Otherwise, this guy off Redflagdeals has one for sale:

I would suggest an anker 1900mah battery. I believe there is a package of two batteries and an external charger. It doesn't need a bigger back and it basically triples the battery life

Hello,
C discount.com
As kilometers4 specified, anker is a nice alternative as it doesn't increase your phone's size... But the 2000mah battery does last longer than the anker. That 1900mah rating isn't fully accurate, I think. But it does give me a day and then some battery life on CM10 (Anker). I get home after a day's work + angry birds + calls + surfing, 8 AM to 11 PM or so and I always have between 15 and 20% left.
When I tried the 2000 mah battery, it was more along the lines of 30-35.

It's a aftermarket battery for S2 which claims to have more mAH and is cheaper alternative compared to samsung one.
I personally haven't tested it since I'm happier with stock one.

expansys.ca is still selling them, and it's where I got mine. Their site is a pain to locate things on, so search for these manufacturer part numbers to find them:
EB-K1A2EBEG for black
EB-K1A2EWE for white
Strangely, the white case/battery pack is cheaper than black. You can try searching around with those part numbers, and you might find a better deal elsewhere.
I have been reading where people are finding out that they dont have the correct battery in their Droid HD...I also checked mine with Battery Monitor Widget by 3c and behold it was wrong....I have the Droid Razr HD battery suppose to be 2530mah and mine is a whopping 1500mah,,,Others are finding the same thing...I have a replacement on the way.....Im totally convinced now that the app is wrongfully report the mah of the battery....
Mine says 1500 too. Where did u call for a replacement. What was their reasoning?

Are you charging your phone completely before looking at the stats? I have a MAXX HD and it says 1500 too, but while I was playing with the app I saw something that mentioned accurate battery stats requires a charge cycle (or something like that)

I'm fairly certain that the app is inaccurate, granted I installed it when I was at 49% battery remaining and it was claiming I had 1500. I have managed to go two full days without charging so I certainly don't believe the number I'm seeing.

So my og is a mess of cracks and other issues and my 3vo has the digitizer ghost touch. So I am looking for a new cdma device. Been looking at the note 2, s4, and a couple of the nexus devices.
I flash my phone so bad esn phones are the best way to go for me. They are cheaper than new and i don't get stuck with a contract. The nexus phones seem to have the best of the aftermarket roms but not sure which one is the best. I do like htc sense but so far the one just seems out classed by the rest.
So I figured I would see what others think would be the way to go.

I've found the LTE EVO pretty cheap on craiglist and swappa. As well as the Droid DNA which is both cdma and gsm. I've gone the way of GSM now because there is a Wal-mart exclusive t-mobile prepaid plan for $30 a month unlimited text, and data (up to 5gigs high speed then throttled afterwards) 100 minutes. Though I rarely make calls.

This may help me make a decision on a new phone. I go the prepaid route as well. I'm currently in the same market as a phone buyer so I will have to keep GSM in mind. Thanks for that heads up sir.
The downside of gsm is the simcard. Your esn is on the card so there are no bad esn phones which means the prices are higher than a cdma with a bad esn.

The EVO LTE was a nice upgrade a year ago when I moved up from my OG EVO. A year later, though, there is a whole new swath of Android phones to choose from. If I had to upgrade now from my EVO LTE I don't even know what I'd choose. It's definitely a "buyers market", so to speak.

I always buy extra batteries for my phone. Note 3 being no different. I've searched and searched and can't find one being sold yet. That's ridiculous. How hard it is to sell some extra batteries for goodness sake.
I purchased an extra battery kit from Clove online which stated they had them in stock. Turns out they don't actually so don't be fooled. Sometime late October to November I guess. This package will have exactly what I get for all my phones an extra battery (I'm a hardcore user and so I always get two spares) and an external battery charger. Will be awesome when I finally get it.
Anyone else have this same trouble? Has anyone gotten it yet?

They seem to be on par so far. I used Battery Monitor Widget to determine that they are 3200mAh batteries n not cheap knock offs with false mAh advertisement. Unless BMW can't be trusted which to my knowledge is trusted. They're good so far. I like the charger too. Seems to be sturdy unlike the charger some batteries come with. Give it a shot bud. Expedited shipping was only a few dollars more n well worth it. I think I paid $40 in general but it's worth it because they seem to be working well so far

I use Hyperion as my spare battery for S3, it lasts as long as stock and NFC works (although I hardly ever use it)
Finally got my Hyperion batteries and charger. I LOVE them. To be honest one of the Hyperion batteries lasts longer than my factory Samsung one lol. The charger is awesome and will hopefully let me charge batteries in the future since it adjusts to each battery. Crap for instructions came with it but YouTube is full of help for them and common sense helps. All around great purchase and got 2 batteries and an external charger for half the price of a Samsung battery (paid $30 on eBay).
Recommend Hyperion batteries to all.
