Has anyone tried buying a non official battery for their MS2 and care to comment or recommend any? Im going on holiday to france and i know my phone wont last a whole day without charging, so I was thinking of buying a second battery.
I read in another forum that using a non-Motorola battery displays some kind of warning. I'd go with an original battery.

using a non-original battery could have detrimental effects on your phone. there was a discussion on this on the forum of another phone. using a non-original battery could lead to leaks and other problems which would eventually lead to the warranty of your phone being voided.
stick with original motorola products. yes the battery might be very underpowered, but its the safest bet to ensure the longevity of ur phone
With a non original battery, the battery indicator of your phone shows a interrogation symbol. Also, it does not charge with the phone charger.
Sorry my analphabet english xD
@Motorola Milestone 2
bp7x 2300mAh battery
I 'm using a non-original battery . The MOMAX and everything's good ,it feels just like the original one except for battery tempperature sensor. the temp is always 26 in celsius
I personally have used seidio for my milestone and it works like a charm, its the extended 2800mah one it really performs like it should and not like how a lot of people claim thats its way less than stock! It does not always read it correctly but a quick reboot fixes that, like 50% after reboot would usually be about 70-80%. They way i used to use my phone (light to moderate level) would last about 2-3 days but after the extended I got twice that and some more. Just make sure you get stuff from the original manufactures either way and don't go for deals at amazon or whatnot as those guys might be selling either defected or not proprely stored stuff. Batteries are critical components don't go cheap on them! And no, my phone has not been messed up or had any leaks or anything and I have this for about 3-4 months now. The original battery degraded in about 6months if you have to compare.
That sounds promising, does the battery need to be charged with an external charger? And does the milestone complain that you are not using the official bettery

reebooting your phone to get the exact picture also works on the standard battery. my question is, does the back part which houses the battery heat up when used? does the phone get hot during charging? do you need a new battery cover for it? and besides the longer usability, have you noticed any other performance issues on the phone?

Actually the rebooting to get the exact picture is not the same here, a jump to 20-30% on a stock battery? I don't think so. No I never encountered any odd behavior with the other battery. No getting extra hot during charge or use, get the typical little bit of heat while using 3G and browsing like mad but that would happen on the stock battery too. Battery cover for a 2800? of course, that stuff is huge! its protrudes like mad! a quick heads up though, the extended battery for the milestone 1 and 2 can use the same extended batteries. Don't know about the droid x though. Anyways, no performance issues, no heat while charging. The back covers supplied by these after market guys are not the best quality though so if you are someone who loves dropping phones and what not would recommed getting a spare back cover from the guys you get the batts from.

No, I use my original charger and no complains or warnings by the phone. Not on the milestone 1 at least. In fact some times i use my ipod's adapter so no big issue. And it charges at the same pace as the stock, additional 1 hour or whatever. restart the phone to getting a proper reading as it shows 100% but upon restart its 70-80% since only the stock level is charged. I hear this app called battery left does great for calibration.
ALSO a thing to note, I only know of Seidio and Mugen to be relialbe after market battery guys hence their hefty pricing at times. The others claiming to have bigger batteries have cheated people with stickers and what not and usually end up underperforming and degrading considerably faster than burning paper! I remember 1USD batteries for nokias back in the day good for a quick one time run i suppose but these 1USD guys are now selling them with a better branding for like 20-40 USD.
Anyways Sedio and Mugen have facebook profiles and keep people posted on the latest on devices usually there, although its kind of sad since seidio have not followed through promised products at times.

thanks for the info mate. ill do a lil more research and probably check it out myself.
Thanks for the info i have bought a Seidio Innocell Extended Life for Motorola milestone 2 from mobilefun £30.49 its the 1500mah version same size as original battery so no extra cover is required.

Cool but as I suggested try and get them off the manufactures themselves as I have noticed some people complaining when purchased via 3rd party retailers.
Also another bud of mine had picked up one for the Nexus one, that phones back cover is a full one unlike the moto's and he too can vouch for the products positive performance. Either ways also check out some reviews from amazon.com for peace of mind.

is the battery meter being shown or are you getting an error message because i would like to buy one
No complaints from the phone about it being the incorrect battery the battery has been charged within/by the phone no external charger required. I got the 1500mah version from mobilefun I doubt it will give much more performance but will see.

After my first day of use I got around 11 hours of use before reaching 5%. Here are the usage statistics at 15%
https://picasaweb.google.com/105351366297036719015/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCJna6ZH6hLKxzQE
Wifi was on most of the time, I was using my phone for the usual things. Occasionally checking socialfeeds, engadget, xda every hour or so and internet browsing I played 10 minutes of angry bids. Updated some apps and downloaded a few new ones.
Overall not a significant increase in battery life maybe an hour or so more from what I am used to.

Just out of curiosity I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my battery by opening up my tablet? If so, which battery would provide more juice - if its not significant then why bother right? Thanks guys!

HI,
In short, no you cant, best bet is to get an external USB battery to give you the extra mile when needed.
Gives a few extra hours, no warrnty issues.
The N10 is very slim, tightly packed. WIth current technology you only get so much energy per volume.
It is already at a maximum.
Messing with the battery can land you in hot water, (check out issues around 787 dream liner and you see what I mean).
Cheers
In theory, if you can find a thin battery that is better than 9000mAh that also has the same wire hookup (or mod it yourself) then you can probably replace it. I know of no such battery though.
I saw the Galaxy S3 has a 6300mAh battery available and that people are getting like 10-15 on screen hours with it and I can't help but be jealous.
I understand that the Nexus 4 lacks the capability for extended batteries due to essential parts on the back of the case, correct?
But it's also true that one can replace the battery so long as it's in the same form factor/style as the stock battery, correct?
So, is there any way people can squeeze more mAh into a battery of the right type/size and if so do they exist yet?

The back of the nexus 4 requires a torx size 5 screwdriver to remove, as well as some kind of spudger, but that isn't really a deal breaker for the sort of people who would want the product you're asking for.
The problem is, you'd need some real engineering ability, and you'd need to be pretty exacting in your design for the replacement battery back to fit properly.you'd also be giving up wireless charging because that functionality is built into the existing back. As far as more capacity in the same space, no. Not any time soon.

I saw a post about Zerolemon making a battery case for the N4 in three sizes (varying capacity and presumably bulk). I think it's supposed to be released next month. Might be a workable alternative to a replacement battery.
Do what I've done... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40420956
Still got the wireless charging and NFC battery life is amazing!
Hello all, I currently have an idea I wish to try however I'm not all sure if it may work. In theory it does, but we know how theories go, haha!
Currently my N7 is in need of a replacement digitizer and screen, because I have a very small annoying crack across it and the upper half of my screen doesn't work.
Which lead me to thinking, if I where to replace the battery from another tablet or such as a Asus Transformer Prime or something like that, wouldn't that allow for a bigger mAh battery? My battery is only last the standard 6/7 hours which dissatisfies me quite a lot, and a battery with a longer life is always a welcome.
What do you guys think? I'm guessing there is a reason people haven't it done it already.
Thanks,
BkS
The battery in the nexus fits into a very specific place and you won't find a higher capacity battery to fit in the same place more power = bigger battery also its not just a simple positive negative terminal like a phone is. From memory I think there is about 5 or 6 wires into the battery the idea being to speed up charging by charging cells individually. Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think it would be possible.
Have you considered an external battery pack they are quite good for extending battery life.
If your Nexus is lasting 7 hours in standby you prob need a new battery but if that's constant use then you won't get much better than that.

Anyone know how one would be able to obtain a replacement battery. Want to future proof the phone as Li-ion battery don't cope well after 1-1.5 years.
Kind of necro, but I just got a Moto Z Force, and I'd suggest that you get a Moto Mod battery and run it in "efficiency" mode, which holds the main battery at 80%
If you use it all the time, it essentially means that your phone's internal battery will never be used for any significant length of time, and avoid the abusive drain-to-zero/charge-to-full cycles.
They are harder to find, but the original Moto Mod batteries (by Motorola) are the thinnest/lightest.

Exactly what I do! Easier to replace the mod. I plan to keep mine for at least two years, maybe longer since they announced mod support for 3 years.
