Extended Battery Finds?

So, now that I've realized and begun the painful process of accepting my battery won't make it until my bed time (11ish). Anyone get a good find on an extended battery. Preferably one that doesn't require added bulk. A 2500 mah that fits the stock slot would be soooo nice

Also interested in this. The phone is so thin a bigger battery might not add too much bulk anyway. Any word on official extended battery?

Just buy a spare battery.

Nope, I went through that with a captivate. Not gonna keep switching, its too much work especially with a case

Do a search in this or the Q&A forum. There was someone who found an expensive one but he was getting something like 40 hours usage! The battery comes with its own battery cover that will replace the stock cover.

I'm trying to avoid adding bulk. However, what's the best one that would require a cover?

Just received email reply from Seidio that they are going to make one for the G3 but wouldn't give me an ETA.

Hmm isn't that only 100mah more than stock ? Seems completely pointless , what we need is at least 2500mah or above to get a benefit

Extended batteries are nice, but you can never find a decent case to fit one. I'll go through the trouble of pulling off my case to pop in my spare battery. :cyclops:

There's already a thread on this in q&a which is where this belongs. Maybe a mod can merge this

[Q] Battery drains fast

So how is it that me, along with 4 of my friends, all got the nexus 4 and my battery is the only one that drains drastically, no matter what I do.... these are my stats at this very moment...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Well you got nearly 50 % left and how long was the screen on during the 5 hours?
(Heavy usage or low-moderate ?) Personally i dont own a nexus my self (Getting one ) but i wish i can help in any way shape or form.

Post your battery status here

Hello folks,
These kinds of threads can be found for other phones but I think we haven't such thing here for our beloved GN.
So please take a screenshot of your battery status from android setting and uplaod it here. Especially from the screen on time.
In addation please mention your ROM and kernel and their versions so we can have an accurate comparison and nice statistic pool.
Cheers,

Guys these stats do not mean much. I really like the idea of the thread and would like to see what stats other people are getting with their battery life. But all I can see are stats posted when the phone is hardly in use.
On screen time is all in bits and pieces. Can someone post a picture of their stats with their AWAKE and ON SCREEN tabs at full blue - meaning it was being used constantly. Those stats would mean alot more than these. Cause anyone can not use the phone at all and post their stats up having easily more than 1 & 1/2 day of battery.
I for one do not have screen shots but I do recall not getting more than 4-5 hours of on screen time.

I know this isn't long, but this is heavy usage screen on 75%of the time, I think it's awesome battery status for this.
And I still have 54% battery.

you shouldn't have a problem downloading a 1 or 2gig movie within 30 minutes to an hr, it'll drain your battery half way regardless of kernel though.

If you're worried, you should stop pirating or Johnny Law will be on your rear. jkjk
To answer your question, just use it without connecting to the charger. Also, calibrating the battery is not necessary either.

So draining the battery regularly doesn't hurt it?
So in conclusion connecting the charger hurts the battery?

Keeping your battery at 100% all the time (letting your phone plugged into the charger) is literally the worst thing you could possibly do to the battery besides overheating it.
If you want to get the longest lifespan out of the battery, keep it between 40 and 80% and under 40°C (which is why the N4 starts throttling itself at 38°C)

Of course it will. It's a battery. They only have so many charge cycles. You can always buy another. With a little effort the battery can be swapped out.

That's right anyway I just wanted to know the least way I can damage the battery while downloading. ..do u have a suggestion

I can't give you advice on how to make piracy less damaging to your phone. That's against the rules.

I just had my lawyer answer a ~1800 euro claim for some song that had magically found its way into my torrent downloading software. He charged me 208€.
Don't download pirated media..

He never said he was downloading copyrighted material... plenty of legal Ubuntu torrents available and last time I checked that's not piracy

Nope just use it. I like to wait till it's below 15% to charge it and always leave it charging till its full.
The main thing is not to let it discharge completely.
